TOM SAWYER DID NO KNOW.

No one could tell Tom Sawyer how
to get white washing applied to the
fence, but the art of mixing white
wash has advanced a long way since
his time. Whitewash is the cheapest
of all paints, and for certain pur-
poses the best, Says the editor of Farm
and Home. Lime. which is the basis
of whitewash, makes "a very sanitary
coating, and is probably to be pre-
ferred for cellars and the interior of
stables and other outbuildings.
For ordinary whitewash place 10
pounds quicklime in pail and cover
over it two gallons water. Cover
the pail with piece of cloth and al
low 1t to stand for an hour. Then
dilute with sufficient water so it will
work easily. This wash may be
and then applied with pump. A
bordeaux" nozzle is commonly used
for this purpose
For interior use. where a whitewash
is needed that will not rub Off use
one bushel quicklime and Is gallons
water. Put the lime in a barrel, pour
I'm the water and keep the barrel COW
cred while the lime is Stacking. Stir
it occasionally to prevent scorching.
Beat up 1-2 pounds rye flour In a
half gallon water and then add two
gallons boiling water. Dissolve 2 1-2
pounds common rock salt in 2 1-2
gallons hot water. and mix with the
rye flour, then pour this into the
whitewash and stir it we'll This
whitewash is used in large factories
and is recommended by insurance
companies.
For outside use on buildings, fenc-
es, etc, slake one bushel lime in a
barrel with l2 gallons hot water. Dis
solve two pounds salt and one pound
sulphate of zinc in two gallons boil
ing water and add to the whitewash
Also add two gallons skim milk and
mix thoroughly.
II an ounce OF alum is added to the
gallon of whitewash 1t will prevent
rubbing Off Flour paste answers the
same purpose, but needs sulphate Of
zinc as a preservative. A pound Of
cheap bar soap dissolved in gallon
of water and added to five gallons
thick whitewash will give 1t a gloss
like oil paint.

WHY THE BIRTHRATE FALLS.

Some German statistics suggest
that marriages, births and deaths tend
to decrease in pretty much the same
proportion. In 1875 the birth rate for
the empire was forty-two and frac-
ton to a thousand of the population.
In the decade 1S92-19O2 it had fallen
to thirty-seven and a fraction. 1t is
now below thirty-two. In 1S92-1902
there were eight and two-tenths mar
riages to thousand inhabitants and
four and half births toa marriage.
There are now less than eight mar
riages to a thousand and only -four
births to "a marriage.
At the same time the death rate
has steadily fallen. The same under
lying cause produces the double re-
suit of falling birth rate and a falling
death rate. That cause, of course. is
education and improvement in all the
material conditions of living. About
in proportion as men hope to give
their children something more than
simple existence, population is kept
down. The more enlightened a popu-
1t will combat disease and the more
solicitous it will become for the train
ing and opportunities of its offspring
the less willing to have children be-
yond its probable means of educat-
ing and endowing them with a fair
start in life.
Probably, also, Mother Nature
would aDDroye "a falIinu hirth rota

selfishness. II a population reached

Comments on
the Roundup
THE ROUNDUP AND FAIR.
CPilot Rock Record.

(Pliot ROCK Record.
1t may not be altogether a credit
able reflection on the general pub
lie to say that in the Roundup is
found the greatest drawing card in
the history OF the Pacific coast and
approaches, If indeed, il does not ex-
ceed, the interest taken in a worlds
series game of baseball. What at
first was only intended as a yearly at
traction at the county seat, osten-
sibly TO please the country people OF
this and adjoining countries, and to
give them an annual, outing, has de-
veloped into a gigantic show of ma
tional interest. Although it was sup
posed that. at the end of the third
year interest would begin to wane
the very opposite to lack of interest
has been developed. 1t may be con-
fidently expected under wise and
prudent management the Roundup
will continue for many years to prove
the center of attraction of all annual
events in the Pacific Northwest. The
show i'm itse,f is not without merit
Eliminated of all risk To life and limb
ii would still be worth seeing. but
the element of danger always present
in many of the stunts seems to be
the unmistakable magnet that is ir-
resistible and seems to appeal to all
classes, though denied by many who
characterize it as brutal but whose
presence can be depended upon with
unerring regularity.
The Roundup was by no means
the only attraction this year at the
county seat The Umatilla- Morrow
fair, while not patrOniZed as ii ought
to be by the farming class, proved of
exceptional educational value this
year. No larger or better exhibit Of
agricultural products could be ex-
pected to be found at a county fair
and the exhibit alone of the Oregon
department of fisheries was worth
twice the price of admission. There
is much for farmers to learn through
a careful study of the different va
rieties of grasses and the possibilities
of Umatilla and Morrow county soils
in the production of cereals and
fruits. comparable with similar pro-
ducts of any part of the world.
one thing mas become apparent in
connection with the annual Roundup
and the Umatilla- Morrow county fair,
namely, that steps must be taken to
house the multitudes drawn hither.
The show is altogether too big for
the present size of the town and Il
temporary or permanent building
capable of affording shelter for two
or three thousand people must be
constructed and equipped as an ad-
junct to the Roundup. A show ca
pable of drawing a crowd of 10000
to 10000 people annually must pro-
vide means of caring for it. No risk
will be taken in the erection of Il
dormitory, large enough to accom-
mOdate the wants of PendletOn on
such occasions as the indications are
that the Roundup is here to stay.

The fair management was entirely
justified in raising the price of ad-

charged was insufficient to defHay
the expense of operation. Anyone
who would find fault with paying so
cents to visit the fair could be de-
pended upon to be a man who would
spend dollar for a Roundup ticket

of complaint. When people leave

surrounding the death OF Miss Julia
Wood, the young woman who died at
midnight after a fall from the seventh
story of the West Point Apartments,
1886 West 95th street, still persists
as her nurse, Mrs. Henry Thompson,
declares the girl fell accidentally and
did not commit suicide.
1t was Mrs. Thompson who for five
minutes held Miss Wood by her hair,
dangling from the apartment window.
Henry c. Wood, chief Of the naval
academy division of the Navy Depart
ment, father of the dead girl, arrived
here today and will investigate the
mystery of his daughters death. He
came in response to telegram sent

signed with his daughters name. 1t
simply asked him to come at once.
He is a Civil War Veteran and has
been with the Navy Department for

friend of the family of Rear Admiral
Sigsbee and spent the summer with
them in Maine.
