BITUuTHIC CHOSEN
AT LEBANON
Lots of Competition Among a Large
Number of Bidders

At an adjourned meeting Of the
city council, the bids for the paving OF
a mile OF Lebanon streets was awarded
to the Federal Construction Co., says
the Oregonian.
There was an unusually large num-
Der Of bidders for the work here and
for large variety Of paving.
After thorough investigation Of all
the different kinds of pavement, the
council adopted the Bitulithic.
One of the leading inducements for
the selection OF this kind was the re-
markable record for durability it is
making elsewhere.
The area to be paved is little more
than 5000 square yards and the COM
pleted work, including curbs and drain
age, makes the total cost of public i'm
provements for the city for this yeal
exceed $4,000. 30*

He Needed Time.

Henry Guy Carleton. the playwright.
suffered something fearful. at one
time he was a lieutenant In the army
and used to give his orders in quick,
high pitched voice and always ended
with a squeak. One day a new drill
sergeant was on duty who repeated
Carleton's orders in the same high
pitched voice and didn't forget the
squeak, either.
Carleton turned upon him and splut-
tered: "Be-c-c-ause III have g-gg-o-t
an im-m-pediment in m-m-y sp-sp-
peech, that's mono treason y-you
s-shoul-uld have one in y-your-ur BIB
BRAIN"
Daniel Fronman tells story about
Carleton which is amusing. 1t seems
that Carleton had been writing Mr.
Frohman internationally in regard to
play of his, and as it was before he
became famous the manager paid but
slight attention to him. One day he
happened to meet Carleton on Broad
way and Henry Guy called to him:
II s-say, M-m-mister F-F-Frohman, If
y-you have g-g-got an hour tito sp-p.

How TO Renovate Net.

Black net requires good brushing
before washing, and the color may be
restored with very strong tea in
which little gum arabic has been dis
solved to give it little stiffness. Iron
1t on the wrong side with strips of pa
per between it and the flatiron.
If a pearly gray tone is desired 1t
may be placed in warm milk an hour
and then squeezed as dry as possible.
To get good yellow add to one pint
of cold water one teaspoonful dissolved
permanganate Of potassium and two
teaspoonfuls of the best black ink.
Iron it at once on board covered over
with a thickness of flannel and finish
off with only muslin between the net
and flatiron.

It not only includes the ordinary glass

were unknown ten years ago.
This Is called crystal shower. Invi-

guest to send in advance Of the date
any crystal contribution which she
wishes to make, ticketed with her

Naturally glass appointments are
used as much as possible for the lunch

boasts a certain number Of these crys-

How to Select Motor Truck Driver.

"Choose a motor truck driver as you
would first class clerk in your office
or store; that is, be sure he is endowed
with a certain amount of intelligence"
says Gleason Murphy, land that you
feel positive he Is going to protect,
guard and handle with good Judgment
the property intrusted In his care.
There are enough good drivers now
to discriminate when hiring one. Do
not forget that when you send man
out with truck he has in his charge
property valued at several thousand
dollars, and you want to feel safe that
he is not going to abuse 1t. The good
driver usually means a well kept,
steadygoing vehicle, and careless one
the very opposite of this. Several In
stances have come to my notice that
the least complaints were received
from owners who had given some at
tention to reliability and competency
In the hiring of drivers. The true me-
chanic has a certain regard for piece
Of machinery, knows how to handle 1t
under all road conditions. apprehends
when the motor, clutch and transmits
sion are working smoothly, uses good
Judgment in the matter of speed, and
knows how to get the utmost service
from the truck he drives and cares for"

How 70 Care For Wood Floors.

There is no reason for distress over
the care of wood floors If they are
properly finished" when laid. A natu.
raj wood floor can easily be kept in
perfect order Frequently wipe the
floor with a dampened not wet cloth
and do not use hot water. Never touch
the floor with scrubbing brush nor
with a broom. Never use a washing
powder of any kind or a cleanser. If
1t is so soiled that 1t needs more than
cool water use a little CASTLE soap and
wipe dry with a chamois. To remove
any waxy substance that CASTLE soap
will not remove use a wooden cloth
dampened with kerosene and rub on
quickly. Never touch any floor or 9TH
er vanished object with kerosene eX-
cept In an emergency as above pre-
scribed.

HOW TO IMPROVE FARM STOCK
The Importance of Always Breeding
Straight.

The Importance of Always Breeding
Straight.
One of the prime objects in mating
farm animals is to increase the hardi-
ness. No matter what other merits
the sire or dam may have, If they are
not strongly constituted they will not
Impart that vigor which is so neces-
sary for successful growth. Strictly
thoroughbreds are not always in the
pink of condition. They are very apt
to have a weakness that if impaired
to the offspring will result in failure.
So that when 1t comes to mating farm
animals one Of the most intricate and
difficult problems that one might be re-
ouired to solve is presented, and there
should not be any rash ventures made.
Those who are affected with the
cross craze, whether in hogs, cattle or
horses, should select the breed that
suits them best. AS a general thing
the best breed for any one is the breed
one likes best or of which one can
secure well bred sires with the least
trouble and expense. If man likes
Poland China and can get good sires
of that breed he should by all means
breed Poland Chinas; If Chester
Whites, he should select that breed.
If he likes Tamworths for the good
they can do, especially If he has his
pigs come in May and June and keeps
them through the year, then he should
get the Tamworths.
Then in selecting males always have
the breeder give an extended pedigree
that is, a pedigree that will show the
breeding for at least four generations
on each side. Note how often 1t goes
back to some particular sire. Run
ming back two or three times would
not be Objectionable, possibly would
be desirable, but one should be sure
that he is not breeding so close in line
as to injure the vitality of the herd.
