HOW TO SAVE GRAIN
CROP FROM RAINS

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
wallis, Or, Sept. 2.-What to do to
save much of the grain crop now
threatened with destruction by the
frequent rains, is told by DIR. James
Withycombe, director of experiment
stations at the Oregon Agricultural
college in an interview this morning
THE proverbial dry harvest is a
marked exception in Oregon this
year" he said. Harvest seasons like
this make diligence an imperative at
tribute of successful farming. A trip
through western Oregon shows a
large area of grain yet unharvested.
Much of the grain, however is cut,
but unfortunately a large proportion
is poorly shocked.
"Unless the rain continues for some
time, the loss, if proper precautions
are taken, need not be great Eternal
vigilance is the price of success in saw
ing grain in a season like this. The
farmer should be constantly in the
field between showers keeping the
shocks up in place.
"A bundle of grain lying on the
ground during moist weather will
sprout in a remarkably short time,
while if it is kept up in the shock
it will stand several days rain with
out injury. There is an excusable
amount of poor shocking upon the av-
erage Oregon farm. A very bad prac-
tice is the long shock which invari-
ably says in the middle and places
the grain in the worst possible condi-
tion to Withstand a rainy season.
"A reasonably small shock, not to
exceed twelve bundles, is best. Ordi-
narily Gaping of the shock is not to
be recommended; the heads should
be exposed to the air, as loosely as
possible. All down bundles should
be set up at the earliest possible OPP
portunity, and saggad shocks should
be readjusted. In this way much
grain may be saved"

New York.-Servants who prey on

cording to Mrs j. ]. Brown of Dem

Mrs. Brown said, "is the small wages
paid to servants. Here the servants
are well paid and not not expect tips
from guests.

POPULAR SYSTEM IS
DEFENDED BY BOURNE

Washington, Sept. 2.-Pursuing a
popular government campaign COM
menced over two years ago, Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president OF
the National Progressive Republican
League. today issued an appeal to
popular government advocates to
guard against the emasculation of the
initiative and referendum by pretend
ed friends. He says:
Enemies of popular government,
realizing that this movement has
gained such headway that its ultimate
success is certain, have turned as
last resort to the expedient of accept
ing the principles but defeating their
purpose by hampering their operation.
Friends of popular government must,
therefore. be on their guard and fight
uncompromisingl against efforts of
this kind
Three general expedients are re-
sorted to, to defeat the initiative and
referendum. First, by making the re-
quired percentage of petitioners so
high as to practically prevent the fill
ing of petitions for either the initia-
tive or referendum; second, by ex-
empting from the referendum all
measures that bear the mere declara-
ton of the legislature that an emer-
gency exists; third, by requiring that
measures submitted to a vote of the
people under the initiative, shall not
become effective until ratified by an
affirmative majority of all the votes
cast at the election.
Experience has demonstrated that
the initiative and referendum powers
are practically nullified If the num-
Der of required signers to petitions be
materially greater than eight per
cent for the initiative or five per cent
for the referendum. Experience also
shows that some of the most merito-
rious masures that have been adopted
under the initiative would have failed
Of adoption if the constitution had re-
quired an affirmative majority Of all
the votes cast at the election. Each
measure should stand or fall accord
ing to the majority Of votes cast
thereon.
'In the campaign which is now pro-
ceeding in many states for the cleo
tion of members of state legislatures
who will be called upon to vote for
the submission of initiative and ref
erendum amendments, the friends of
popular government should not be de-
ceived but should insist upon the sub
mission of such amendments in prac
tical form. and count as enemies of
popular government, candidates who
refuse to pledge themselves to the
support of the initiative and referend-
um in the form in which they have
been found successful in other states
An open and aggressive enemy to pop
ular government is less dangerous to
our cause than a covert opponent who
pretends friendship bur seeks to emas-
culate the initiative and referendum
by limitations and exceptions which
make them ineffective"

BABE WEARS ONLY SMILES.

San Bernardino, Cal.--"The child
has never worn stitch of clothing
and is as free from common ailments
as the most healthy adult" was the
statement of Professor Louis Klein to
County Humane officer ]. J. Arbois
who went to Cucamonga recently to
investigate charges of cruelty on the
part Of the parents to their three
months-old babe.
The humane officer found the lit
tie bud of a girl rolling in glee un-
der a cot among the trees. She was
a healthy brown and unusually well
developed for one of her age.
I'VE are having our baby live close
to nature" said the mother, because
we believe that is the only way to keep
an infant free from bodily ills. She
has never known an Ill hour and has
more vitality at three months than
the average child at two years.

Jean Galaxy, the romantic swindler of

Gallay's flight on the yacht Cata-

the sum of 100000 put the police of
many countries on the alert. Three
weeks after they disappeared from
France the two were arrested under
the names Of Baron and Baroness de
Graval at Bahia, Brazil money and
jewelry valued at 100000 being re-
covered on board the yacht.

years imprisonment, part Of which

Guiana. The woman was acquitted.

WONDERFUL PEACHES
ON UMATILLA PROJEC!
Especial Correspondence,)

Hermiston, Ore, sept. 2,-There Is
being shown wonderful class OF
peaches this year that is grown on
the Umatilla protest, this being the
first year that peaches have, been
grown to any extent. II. w. Whiting
and DR.. NJ, V. Turley have specimens
OF peaches that would take first prize
at any fair. These peaches are pack
ed in an ordinary box, but in order
to nail a cover on it would require a
strip an inch wide in order to ship
these boxes. There were As peaches
in the boxes, twenty four in each lay
er, there being two layers. One meas
ured 10 1-2 inches around and
weighed 10 ounces; over half of them
weight. This demonstrates that peach
es can be grown with great success
on this project. Among other fruit
and vegetables that have been ship
ped in the last week from Hermiston,
there has been several car loads of
water melons. Thomas Haddox,
Frank Waugaman and Gerald Bohn
have been busy this week bringing In
loads of water melons from their
ranches and shipping them, most of
the shipments were made to La
Grande, Oregon. The picking of
grapes will commence this coming
week and 1t is expected that a large
amount will be shipped. The Flaming
Tokey grapes seem to be one of the
best growers on the project. p. Sui

grapes this year from his ranch. Not
only is his grapes in large bunches,
but the individual grapes are of es-

perfect. These grapes come from
