was made in Philadelphia in
1909 and was brought to Oregon by a
man who gave me to little girl. He
told her she could buy stick of
candy.
She took me to her mother and
told her to put me In her bank that
set away upon a shelf where there
was a lot of other money. There I
lay in the bank for many a month.
The little girl would unlock the bank
and take many other pennies out
and lock it up again. I wished she
had taken me out but / still lay there.
Pretty soon her little sister wanted
a stick of candy Then she took down
the bank and gave me to her sister
and she went down town and gave me
to the merchant.

merchant gave me to the lady for

and said to her little girl, IT got you

on the beach of the river and lost
me in the sand.
I lay there in the sand and the
waves washed over me. Pretty soon
they washed over me so hard that /

About week after that some girls

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside the editor of the Gardening
department says:
"A reader, stirred UP by my state
ment of 5000 returns from one-eighth
acre in vegetable plants, especially
cabbage and celery. asks me what
may be his chances of securing an
income Of say, $500 an acre on two
acres planted in these or similar
crops in the suburbs of a small city
"An income of $500 or $1,000 from
an acre of market-garden crops, and
especially of vegetable or Towering
plants, is not only within the reach
of possibility, but also of reason, and
is actually secured (and more. too)
by many gardeners near our cities or
villages But so much depends on
local conditions, management, skill
of the grower and seller, that | would
not give any guarantee. The chances
are good enough, but for the right
person only. Begin slowly, gradually
carefully, and expand as you see your
way clear. Do not let my figures
tempt you to run in debt for land,
giving up another business that has
so far provided living. Use discre-
ton and common sense"

Several years ago while Pendleton
was under prohibition and was afflict-

at present, a local
committee was named to draft what
was intended as a model plan for sa-

saloons should be restored.

reforms suggested, including such
things as open fronts without screens

back entrances. The limitation of

other features almost too numerous

Since that ordinance was adopted in
Pendleton we have had peace where
previously there was continuous war
The chief provisions of the ordinance
have been obeyed and the effect has
been wholesome. No doubt the terms
of the ordinance could be enforced
much more vigorously than has been
done and with good results. Yet in
spite of seeming negligence along the
line of enforcement it is fact that
there is much less complaint than

saloons of Pendleton are following
the law more closely than some other
business establishments. The situa-
tion bears out the theory that the So
luton of the liquor question in such
a place as this consists in rigid re-
gulation.
1t is interesting to note that Port
land too is trying to get in line. A
new saloon ordinance is proposed that
if adopted will work wholesome
cleanup in that city. 1t is different
from the model" license ordinance
adopted few years ago which ordi-
nance was model in name only. 1t

where the saloon question has not yet

placing them on a clean, orderly bas-

the interest of society and not in be-
half Of saloons or the owners of sa-
loon property.

BANKERS AND OTHER LoAFERs

T<HY the foolkiller so long neglects
w the American Bankers Association
is mystery beyond fathoming. Not
content with crying loud and long against
the pernicious desire to buy an automobile
when one might have all the pleasure and
satisfaction of putting the money in the
bank for some other fellow to handle,
they are now urging us to dispense with
something we have come to regard as al
most necessity-an education. Our
school system, the executive council of
this august body gravely informs US, is
bringing up "another generation Of edu
Gated loafers." Ninety-six per cent of
the children, they say, can not attend
school beyond the primary grades, "and
vet they are taught only what is expected
to aid them in preparing for higher edu-
cation in our universities.
One can scarcely credit it, but the
conclusion is irresistible OF course our
worthy bankers haven't attended univer-
sites. No doubt thev would shudder at
the mere thought. Whatever kind Of
loafers they may be, they would scorn to
be educated loafers. But if tina, were all
=! No; we have to conclude still fur
ther tina, they haven't attended the pri-
mary grades either. Certainly no one
really acquainted with the workings of
the American public school in its primary
stages ever suspected it Of harboring any
dark designs looking university-ward.
True, some acquaintance with readin'
and ritin' and 'rithmetic is necessary
should one design to become an educated
loafcr, or in other words attain a bache-
lor's degree in some university. In that
sense the primary school prepares for the
university. But let US hope that univer
sity entrance is not the only place where
the three RS may be put to use. Out
side college portals. one might conceiva-
bly wish to communicate with others at
distance by means Of written language, or
keep record Of business transactions in
the form of figures. But one should
forego this if in danger of being prepared
for university thereby, in the judgment
of the American Bankers Association.
Perhaps an idle inquirer may wonder
how this gathering promulgated this SOL
emn warning. OF course. to be consis-
tent, it must have been by word of mouth
only; but it is to be feared that some
..educated loafer" of stenograPher or
reporter was present to make their wisdom
public. There must ever be fly in the
precious ointment of their inspiration.
THE daily paper announces that John
D. Rockefeller's wealth is now nine hum
dred millions Of dollars. On the same
page appears the STORY of two girls in San

possibilities on four dollars week, clasped

from the cliff. Truly ours is country

SALUTE THE SNACK.

New values and tastiness are being given to many of the staple food pro- ducts of former days as the result of the appearance on the market of Kel- Iogg's toasted wheat biscuit This ia a whole-wheat food, thrice cooked highly nutritious, and agreeable to the most sensitive stomach.
 Creamed dried-b and similar creamed food preparations have been labooed by a good many people of poor digestion in these recent years of food analysis and nutrition experi- ments.
 Kellogg's biscuit is. now being used to advantage with many of the se creamed foods. The biscuit is dipped in milk and the creamy meat or vegetable is poured over it in a dish. The combination both increases the tastiness of the dishes and solves the digestive problem by the addition of the carefully cooked whole wheat.
 Kellogg's biscuit is excellent and nourishing in any form, at a cost proportionately very low. Used with fruit juices by those who do not care for milk, it gives complete satisfac- ton.

ENGLAND'S FAMOUS
 CHEMIST RETIRES
SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY HAS MANY NOTABLE DISCOVERIES TO
 HIS CREDIT.

London. Aug. 22-After twenty-five years of work Sir William Ramsay. K. C.. B.. F. R. s., has retired from the professorship of chemistry at Un- iversity College. London. During his occupancy of this chair he has made it famous all over the world.
 His discoveries and investigations brought students Hooking from all quarters to study under him. Now, when still in his intellectual prime, he thinks it time to step aside and as he says, ito give young man a chance"
 To mention only a few, of Ramsay s achievements will more than justify his fame. With Lord Rayleigh he dis covered argon, and with Travers the other members of the same family of gases, neon, krypton and xenon. How great a scientific achievement this was will readily be recognized even by the layman when he is reminded that these gases form family of ele- ments absolutely devoid of all capac- ity to combine with other substances and for which there was a place in the chemists periodic table of ele- ments that had till then remained un- occupied.
 With Soddy he substantiated the pro- duction of helium from radiurn, thus violently affecting previous ideas or the stability and perman ence of the clements His discoveries and inves- tigations have led in many, cases to that greatest goal of the chemist the recognition of entirely new laws.
 AS a professor he inspired his stu dents with an enthusiasm that would be hard to exaggerate. All the attri- butes necessary for this swere combin- ed in Sir William. To; deep and wide knowledge of his own particular department of science he added a still wider one reaching to those which border on it. With half dozen lan- guages at his command, he was also first rate glassblower and himself made all his argon and rAdium appar- atus.
 To all this was added a strong and charming personality and a power of dominating the students mind and character. He was no dry as dust pro- lessor of the old school He came to his lecture table in short jacket and with straight-forw language and friendly manner carried his teaching straight into his hearers brain.
 He was the friend of his pupils. One of them speaking of the won derful chumminess ' that existed be- tween the students and the professor. says: "On receiving the eongratula- tions of the students in the research laboratory where was working on the occasion of his winning the Nobel prize Sir William lounged against my bench and described in terms of the friendliest equality many incidents which had happened during his ab- sence from England on that occasion This same spirit culnninates in the annual laboratory dinner, where in the usual speeches the staff is chaff- ed to an unlimited extent and the greatest good humor prevails both on the part of the speaker and victim. ;
 This side of the great scientist can easily be understood by any one who and accompany himself in a whisrling solo.
