Keeping Clear the Sink Pipe.

No part of the care OF the sink is
more important than that which con-
Germs the proper flushing Of the waste
pipe. In n house where there is
plenty of hot water this does its part
towards keeping the waste pipe open,
but even hot water and Suds mixed
with household ammonia are not
enough says the CHicago Inter- Occan.
No matter how carefully screened may
be the entrance to the waste pipe
bits of food will make their way
through and grease finds its path
downward in solution in the hot
water. AS it cools it lines the inside
of the pipe with a Shiny deposit and
this in time chokes the pipe so that
the water finds its way through with
difficulty.
In order TO cut the grease it is well
to have washing soda at hand and to
lay good-sized piece of this across
the opening to the drain pipe. This
does much to help conditions, but
once week Il strong solution of lye
and boiling water or of washing soda
and boiling water should be made
and poured down the waste pipe. If
this is done regularly and ordinary
precautions are taken against permit
ting tea leaves. crumbs, etc, to be
washed into the waste pipe. there is
no reason why it should become
clogged.

i Fighting Joe" Martin. OF Vancouver, B. c.
BY Luz =. VERNON.

4 few years ago Fighting Joe"
Martin, the well-known barrister
and politician of Vancouver, Is. c..
visited the kootenays and while at
tending banquet in RoSsland. r. G.. ,
called all those gathered around the
festal board "a bunch of white
shirtcd hoboS, dashed his glass OF
champagne in rage and temper to
the floor and hTriedly left the hall
Fighting Joe furnished plenty
OF good newspaper copy during his
political career in British Columbia
and always made his political Op-
know and realize that he was in the
game TO the finish.
1t was during one of Fighting
Joe's political campaigns that he
was in mining town in the Koote-
enays, and was invited by laborer
who worked around one of the mines
to visit his house and have dinner
with himself and wife.
Now it happened Fighting Joe"
thought great deal Of the labOring
man since the first time he met him
while transacting some legal bust
ness for him, relating to the settle
ment of an estate in Vancouver,
some years previous to meeting him
again in the Kootenay mining town
so he accepted the hearty invita-
ton to dine at his home.
Upon Fighting Joe" arrival at
the laboring mans house, in the
principal room he noticed that a
pictorial representation of the Pope
faced an illustration of King Will
liam, Of pious and immortal memory,
in the act of crossing the Boyne.
Fighting joe stared in amaze
ment and, seeing his surprise, the
laboring mans wife explained:
My husbands an Orangeman
and I'm a Catholic.
How do you get on together?"
asked Fighting Joe," much aston
ished.
Very well, barring the 18th of
July. when my husband goes out
with the Orange procession and
comes home drunk.
"Well?' said Fighting Joe."
Well. he always takes the Pope
down and jumps on him and then
goes straight to bed. The next morn
ing get up early, before he is awake,
and take down King William, pawn
him, and buy new Pope with the
money. Then | give my husband the
money to get King William out"
Fighting Joe" Martin now re-
sides in London, England, but many
political schemes drawn by his = fine
Italian band" SO to speak, will re-
main indelibly photographed on the
memory.

A new teakettle introduced in Eng
land has its lid hinged and located in
the top near the side, instead of being
set under the handle in the usual man
ner. The person filing the kettle can
lift it by the handle and hold back the
cover with the fingers of the same
hand, while the other hand is used to
operate ,he water tap. With the lid
in the new position, all danger of hav-
ing the hands scalded by escaping
steam is removed.

OUR PIONEER SONGS.
Have Had Their Effect on the Far West.

Before there was any American
literature there were songs, native
and imported, current among the
early pioneers. The first of these
songs was from Europe. but present
~ they We're modified and finally su-
perseded 10y native ballads. The ear
lest songs sung in America partook
of the characteristics of the Puritans
of New England or the Cavaliers in
Virginia. In tune and temper the
one was religious and the other iocu-
lar and tragic
The melancholy songs OF the earlier
days of our national life were sue
ceedcd by those of a cheerful tone.
even when the subjcct-matter was
most serious. The exploration of the
great West gave rise to wonder
ful singers. The travellers who
crossed the plains to California
have left the world a wide herit-
heritage of delightful songs. The
Girl | Left Behind Me" was one
of the best perhaps. That it met
with response in the heart of pio-
neerS, at Patterson hall and SteX-
art S theate, Portland, over half a
century ago, when sung by a member
of the Thoman vaudeville company
came under observation of the wri-
ter. Its charm seemed to lie. like
that of the "Old Settler" OF local
classical fame. in describing heart
incidents in homely passable rhyme,
which all could appreciate and re-
member. Here is verse:
Now I'm going across the plains.
May the heavens above me guide me,
And bring me safe back home again
To the girl left behind me-
The girl left behind was doubtless
presented to many minds from the
applause the song received at each
repetition. Here is another of like
sentiment:
ooh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
I'm going to California with my banjo
on my knee"
But the greatest OF all songs heard
in the West was Joe Bowers" 1t
is said to have been written by a SOL
dier who went to Mexico with Doni-
phan and afterwards was a California
miner, known among his companions
as "Squibob.
The song Joe Bowers of Pike, "
made no pretensions of literary mer-
it, for it had none. No great compo-
ser of music would have tolerated for
an instant the simple tones of the
tune or the air devised to accompany
the words. Any assembly of com
petent literary and musical critics
would nave condemned the whole pro-
duction at once. Perhaps it is for
tunate that the world has not had
to depend always on competent"
persons for making of those things,
that are worth much and live long.
Joe Bowers is more than the true
type Of the Missouri Argonaut He
is the hero OF the final era of the mi
grafton of the human race.

Omit Starch.

The dissatisfaction with a great
many suit linens comes from the
laundering. Some people get so into
the habit of starching everything in
the way of dress material they can
not quite make up their minds not
to dip the garments in just very
thin starch. The result is that the
coats do not hang but have an
angular look and the first time either
coats or dresses are worn they be-
come horribly wrinkled, says the
New Haven J0uyndl- courier. Just
have the courage for once not to
starch your linen suits.

thrashed out thoroughly In connection
with the barley and hop exhibition
which will be held in Chicago Oct.
1922. AS in the case of other aromat-
ic plants, the sources of the aroma are
not well understood. Aroma usually
depends upon such minute particles
OF substance that even the delicate re-
actions In the chemical laboratory are
frequently inadequate to discover
them. The high prices which are paid.
for instance, for certain wines are
based upon their flavor or aroma, and
yet this flavor or aroma cannot he
discovered by chemical analysis. 1t
Is not surprising. therefore, that the
substances which contain the flavor
or aroma of hops have never been as
certaincd with certainty. There Is a
theory that they are closely associ-
nted with the soft resins contained in
the lupuin. or the hop -four. which Is
found between the bracts of the cone
and which Is really the essential part
of the hop plant.
AS for the color Of the hops. various
preferences prevail. some preferring
the varieties which are entirely green,
while Others think the yellowish green
Is preferable. In this country the yell
lowish kinds are usually preferred,
while in Germany the green ones have
the call.
Inasmuch as the brewing valuc of
hops depends largely upon the lupulin-
ic ncid and the soft resins and the
American hops are unusually rich in
soft resins. American hop growers
need have no fear of entering the prize
competition Mt Chicago u':der the rules
which have been adopted for tho jury
which is 10 judge the hoas.

RECALL SUGGESTED on FEDERAL JC-
DICIARY -Robt. l.. Owen, Democrat,
of Okalahoma, in the L. 5. Senate
last week, urged law making posi-
bic a recall of Federal Judges who in
vaded the constitution by usurping
the right of Staten their Legislative
functions and by contraving the
powers of Congress. and charging the
Federal Judiciary with being the
instruments through which special
interests are and have been enabled
to block the progress of legislation.
He declared those courts would
promptly discontinue their boastcd
policy if the recall was in effect.

In the average mans opinion, the
difference between real widow and
a grass widow is merely the difference
between an heirloom and a hand-me-

mad infatuation for anything he may
mention from Greek literature to fried

per cent OF all the barley now grown
in Wisconsin is six rowed barley. This
being the type OF barley most COM
monty used for mailing In the United
States. 1t Is likely that most OF the
samples that will be shown Mt the bar
ley and hop exhibition in Chicago in
October. 1911. will be Of that type.
The experiments with two rowed
barley through eight years continuous
breeding work clearly prove that In
most regions the farmer. cannot get

secured with the six rowed variety.
The straw seems to be very frail and
lodges easily, thereby injuring the
