PACIFIC NORTHWEST
IDEAL FOR DA|Ry|NG
CHIEF OF DIVISION SAYS

A. Ii. Rawl Dairy Expert Says North

ties-Morc Dairy Cows and Better
Ones Are Needed.

Portland, Ore.-That the Pacific
Northwest is one of the most favored
dairy sections of the whole world was
the statement of a. II. .Rawl, chief or
the dairy division of the Department
of Agriculture, who was in Portland
this week Mr.. Rawl was banqueted
by the Portland Commercial club and
he took occasion to tell the Portland
business men that the Northwest Is
not living up TO its possibilities IN
dairying.
Il would have orchards. sheep and
other things on the farms Of this
Willamette valley" said Mr.. Rawl'
"and | would also have more dairy
cows and better ones Dairying means
a great deal here for it gives quick
cash returns. provided the proper in
vestment is put into it. The soil OF
this valley will last forever with a well
balanced system Of agriculture.
There are about 22,000,000 dairy
cattle in the United States which are
producing about half they would
under ordinary business methods Peo-
pie tell me that the Northwest is
backward in building up its dairy in
dustrv You need not think you are
the only ones who are slow about It,
The same condition Is true elsewhere.
The willamette valley is one of the
best dairy districts in the world. 1t
needs more drainage. more cows, more
dairy farmers. and it has many good
ones now.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES ALSO
FAVOR EARLY SHOPPING

II Portland should shop early, there
is redoubled reason why its Christmas
packages should be mailed early, says
a Portland paper All the reasons
which SAVIOR of humanitarianism APP
ply to the force of postoffice work
ers as powerfully as to clerks in
stores, for the men employed by I'm
Gle Sam will soon have 10 commence
working 12 hours day and night shifts
and even longer in the near future.
Christmas to them will mean moth
ing but a bewilderment of rush,
weary limbs at the close of each day
and an exhaustion which will require
several days rest to repair
But there Is a more immediate and
selfish argument for public consider
alton Unless the public puts its
Christmas mail in early, it is physi-
cally impossible to have the mail de-
llvered on time. During the busiest
Of the holiday season, the volume Of
mail jumps to about 10 times the nor
NAL run. whereas the increase given
the postoffice for this work is only
equal to per cent of the total force.
This means that II Christmas mail is
piled in the last few days prior to
December 20 1t must accumulate in
the offices until the force can pos
sibly get through it, which always
takes from eight to ten days.
II the public would show some con-
sideration for the postoffice, force and
commence depositing Christmas pack
ages two weeks or more prior to the
25th, the vast increase would be dis
tributed over considerable period,
and the force of employees probably

DIGITAL PROFANITY IN THE
MOVING PICTURE SHOWS

Cleveland.-Deaf mutes are COM
planning against the use of profane
and indecent expressions by players
in moving picture films, and will ask
for a rigid censorship by the manu-
facturers.
Mrs. Elmer Il. Bates, for many years
n teacher in the deaf and dumb and
an expert in the art of lip reading,
declares that these shows are the chief
source of amusement for the deaf,
and they are prevented from enjoy
ing them because they are able to
understand what Is being said by the
characters on the screen. Mrs. Bates
made a tour of the downtown shows
yesterday accompanied by reporter,
who wrote down the picture talk, and
at times the language was so vile that
she had to stop.

ton is too deep for him, but thinks

ARE YOU DEAF?
,Catarrh Is Probably the Cause-Get
Rid OF the Cause.


If YOU have catarrh and have con-
stant ringing noises in your ears look
into the matter at once.
It's a pretty sure sign that catarrn
is spreading and is making its way
through the Eustachian tubes that
lead from the nose to the ears.
When catarrh gets to the ears par
tial deafness follows. If you have
ringing noises in your ears go to Tall
mans today and get HYOME1 out
fit and drive out catarrh.
To cure catarrh HYOME1 should
be breathed through a pocket inhaler
for a few minutes, four or five times
a day. Just pour a few drops into
the hard rubber inhaler and breathe
It.
1t kills the germs; soothes the ir-
ritation: heals the inflammation;
stops hawking, splitting and snuffling
HYOMEI keeps the throat free from
mucous and prevents crusts in nose.
The complete HYOMEI outfit which
includes the little indestructible hard
rubber inhaler, bottle of HYOMEl
and simple instructions for use, cost,

Mrs. Joseph Welch Asks Separation
From Oldest Man In Town.

West Lebanon, O.-Joseph w.
Welch. who has attained the age of
ninety-two years and is considered the
Oldest man in this part Of Ohio, was

tried to reconcile him to his finan-
cial defeat, and that he. in his turn.
spurned her and beat her.

FRANCE WOULD PRESERVE
HISTORICAL MONUMENTS

A bill has been introduced into the
French chamber of deputies for the
preservation of monuments and other
objects possessing historic and artistic
value. The communes will be held
responsible for the guardianship of
such property. The owner of build
ing or object classified as of historic
or artistic interest will not be allow
ed to sell it or give 1t away. except
to some body of men representing a
public establishment, such as a mu-
scum. or to the state. Hitherto own
ers of such property have sold it
with the permission of the govern
ment. The new law will, it is hoped,
prevent the disappearance of such
things as altar screens, relinquaries
and manuscripts from churches. FL
nally, the law limiting to three years
the time in which an action may be
begun to recover a lost or stolen OBJ
ject will be repealed.

December.

December is from the Latin decem,
meaning ten. 1t was originally the tenth
month OF the year. but owing to the wide
spread unpreparedness for Christmas il
has been showed along from time to time
until il occurs now as far back as we have
been able to get it. Ceasar, who was in
the habit OF making each OF his soldiers
some kind of present, even suggested
pushing il further along still and having
ABOUT fifteen months in the year, but The
Roman merchants protested that il was
impossible to sell holiday goods except
in very cold weather. and BrutuS, Cassius,
and several other Ronln business men
finally stabbed him.
The custom Of giving presents was
originated by the Greeks. and they had
such a faculty for getting the better ot it
when they exchanged presents with any
one thit the expression, Beware Of the
Greeks bearing gifts!" became historic.
II was on a Christmas day when all the
Greeks were showing what they had got
ten and were laughing about il that Do
genes, who made practice Of criticising
the national faults in some amusing way
set out on his famous search for an hon
est man. The Persians at one time re-
sorted toarms man effort to gettheir pres
ents back, but they were badly defeated
al the battle OF Marathon, and no serious
attempt to get presents back has ever
been made from that time TO this.

The Chinaman's Mistake.

From the college days OF William H..
Baldwin, Jr., until his too-early death
there are no untitled gaps, writes Mir.
John Graham Brooks in IAN American
Citizen" He won success with clean
hands and unStaned honor. He believed
that all men were bound together to help
their fellows. ITO do good together is
to tolerate and forbear together, he said,
in public address.
Before him in the audience were men
OF different color, nationality and religion.
He spoke OF the exIsperdtionS between
capital and labor, Of race misunderstood
ingS, and the national riyalrieS that create
wars. He illustrated his point by the
following:
81 must tell you story that Jewish
woman told me only few days ago.
She IS a woman who deVoteS her time to
the people on the poorer side OF New
York City. She lives IN atenement-house
on the East Side, and passes daily by the
door OF a Chinese laundry.
Zach day she would stop and speak
and say, Hello, joint and they would
say, Hello, ladyP
"After a couple Of weeks, as she pass
ed, she saw only one Chlnaman where
there had been two, and she asked, Where
is the other John?'
"Him in the hospital. CliStian gen.
tleman stluck him in the head with a
blick.
After the answering laughter, Mr.. Bald
win took up that lhe-theme which was an
epitome OF his religion Of goodwill and
justice, and its practice among men, to
make us know the infamy and cowardice
of Christian" throwing a brickbat at

The MiStietOe.

The ancient BritonS regarded the mis-
tletoe with great reverence. They held
the tree, upon which it grew, sacred, as
belonging to their god, Tutanes. AT the
time of the winter solstice feast was
celebrated in honor Of this god.
The mystic mistletoe was cut with a
golden knife and dropped upon white
cloth. The plant N1S divided into small
pieces and distributed among the people,
who hung the sprays over the doors OF
their homes. to apoelse and shelter the
1eitieS Of the forests during the season OF
frost and cold. These ceremo1ies were
retained throughout the time thlt Brittany
was under Roman dominion.
The use of the mstletoe in decoration
is a relic of this ancient rite, but its sig
ulficance has been completely changed.

The Undiscovered Saint.

Service is a great word II cannot be
overemphasized, for it is al the basis oi
the right kind Of character. We are saw
ed to serve.
There is a legend in the Greek Church
that well illustrates the greatness OF SER
vice. II is Dean Farrar who draws at
tention to il in some of his writings. The
legend is about two favored saints, ST.
CaSsianuS-the type OF monaStlc aScetl-
ciSm, individual character, which bids
for clolstered cell its neighbOr and its
work farewell'-and ST. Nicholas, the
type of generous. active, unseltish, labor
Ious Christianity.
st. CaSSianuS enters heaven. and Christ
says to him: "What hast thou seen on
earth, Cassianus?" "ISaw," he answer
Ell, "a peasant floundering with his wagon
in the marsh" "DldSt thou help him?"
"Now "Why not?" 81 was coming be-
fore thee" said ST. CasGianuS, "and !
was afraid OF Soiling my white robes"
Then ST. Nicholas enters heaven, all
covered with mud and mire. "Why so
stained and soiled, st. NicholaS?" said
the Lord. 81 saw a peasant foundeIing
in the marsh," said St Nicholas, "and
put my shoulder to the wheel and help
el him out" BLESSED art thou" an
sWered the Lord; 9Th III dldSt well, thou
d DIST better than Cassianus."
And he blessed st Nicholas with four
foldapproval.
1t is only legend, but it proclaimS a
mighty lesson.
