IMPROVED SEEDS ARE BEST
One Quart Of New Variety Of Corn
Would Grow Enough to Plant Sig
Acreage at Small Cost

I believe that every farmer would
find 81 profitable to devote a certain
portion Of his farm to growing seed
Tor the coming year. In this way he
could buy seed each year and plant Il
on his test grounds and grow all that
would be required for his next years
crops.
One quart Of some new ys-iety OF
field corn would grow enough seed to
plant quite an acreage and tho cost
would be comparatively small. A peck

IMPROVINGCITY system
Oregon Power Company Rebuilding
Electric Distributing Lines On
Main Business Street.

For number of days past force
of Einemen in the employ of the Ore
gon Power Company have been en-
gagged in improvements of the COM
pany's property in the business por-
ton of the city. The distributing
system on Main street from Acad-
emy to the power plant, distance of
II blocks, has been entirely rebuilt.
Several transformers have been put
in, and the old cross arms have been
replaced with new ones which are
equipped with the latest type of in
sulators, hardware, etc. All of the
old copper wires have been removed
to make way for copper of larger
size. The changes have been made
for the purpose of improving the ser
vice conditions, and are designed on
scale large enough to provide for
demands for sometime to come.
Within the past year, the Oregon
Power Company has spent about
$4,000 in line improvements in Dali
las, Monmouth and Independence for
the betterment Of its service.
Costly Sign.
Local Manager j. L. White has
placed an order for a large and
striking electric sign which is to be
placed in front of the company's
Office on Court street. -Four hundred
two-candlepower Mazda lamps will
form the letters, "Electric Light &
Power Coz, making the most at
tractive illuminated sign ever seen
here.It cost will approximate $4OO,
and will be fully up to the best of
the kind used in the large cities. 1t
is expected to arrive here about the
fifteenth of the month.

VISITORS INSPECT
CITY SYSTEM
HILLsBoRo COMMITTEE SEEKS
KNOWLEDGE.
Satisfactory Test Shows Heavy
Pressure With Four Streams in.
Operation; Committee Impressed.

Making trip to different William
cite valley cities to investigate their
water systems in order to gather
data and ideas for proposed new
system in their city, a committee of
citizens representing the city coun-
Gil of Hillsboro, visited Dallas We'd
nesday and were shown the local
water system and tests of it's pres
sure were given under the direction
of w. L. Soehren, local manager.
A guage was attached to the plug
at the corner of Main and Court
streets and the normal pressure
found to be in the neighborhood Of
78 pounds. -Four hydrants were
then turned on full force, delivering
water through two one inch, and two.
three-fourths inch nozzles, and
throwing streams of water high in
the air. Under this test the guage.
showed a pressure of 65 pounds and
gave what was declared to be very
satisfactory test.
Favorably Impressed. @
The visitors appeared to be very
favorably impressed with Dallas
system and expressed themselves in
commendation of it. When the three
streams from hydrants surrounding
the court house plaza, and one at
the corner of Washington and Main
streets forced the water vertically
as high as the court house tower,
they were impressed with the fact
that no ordinary confagration could
withstand the onslaught.
The Hillsboro committee were en-
tertained last night at the rooms of
the LaCreole club and left yesterday
for McMinnville and Newberg where
they will continue their investigatI
tons.
The committee consisted of the
following: DIR. F. A. Bailey, pio-
neer physician; George R. Bagley,
attorney; Willis Ireland, cashier of
Commercial bank; H. V. Gates, W..
D. Woods.

Acf Worse than the Telling.
The silly squib recurs to me again and
again when mere acquaintance insist upon
pressing lips to mine after eating onions or
drinking creme de menthe, or taking menl-
cine, or-perhaps worst of all-perfuming
the breath and lips with patent " sweeten-
ers." The subject is not agreeable. h
act is worse than the telling. In plain
English, one should be sure that ones
breath is not merely healthy but that II -
void of orense before another and an In
noeent person is invited to lnhale It.. The
man whose breath reeks with stale cigar
smoke has no right to outrage a woman'S
or a child's sense of smell by kissing her
or it. I refrain from abiding to the drunk
ards breath. It is p~leasanter to take for
granted that readers and constituents are
not on kissing terms with this class.
There Is altogether too much kissing in
general society, setting aside for the mo-
ment the sanitary view of the topic. One
should be more than ar agreeable acquaint-
ance before she presumes that Il will be
convenient and acceptable to you to have
her kiss you, even upon the cheek 1t is
the most empty of salutations as usually
offered. If it means anything, 1t means
close affection and intimate association. I
wish a kissing might be substituted by
general consent of our best circles" In

the greeting would convey of good will and
