new HIGH MARK IS
HIT IN CALF MARKET
(From Wednesdays Journal }

There was only a small showing Of
livestock at North Portland TO-DAY.
The strong feature Of the trade was
the calf division, in which all sales
were made at $S.75, the highest point
reached to date. The great scarcity
of calves in the local market this
season has kept the price even higher
than its usual differcntal with cat
tie.
Examination of the receipts Of
calves at North Portland for the first
seven months of 1912 shows loss of
l714 head, compared with arrivals
of the same period in 1911. This de-
crease was shown in spite of the
strenuous efforts that are Deing made
by local meat company to take this
class of business away from the dress
ed meat trade of Front street Total
calf arrivals during the 1912 period
were 1882 head, while for the first
seven months of 1911 they were 3446

UPLIFT IN LOVE OF NATURE
Cultivation of Ornamental Trees and
Plants Marks Always People
of Refinement.

1t is an unquestioned fact, certified
by all observant travellers of broad ex-
perience, that the cultivation Of crna-
mental trees and plants has an uplift-
ing and ennobling influence on all man.
kind. No matter in what quarter of
the earth you are travelling, you will
invariably meet with the best recep-
ton at that domicile where the great.
est love Of nature is manifest, through
the cultivation or presence Of plants
and flowers.
Aside from the orchard sections, it
is rare occurrence, in any state, to
note in rural districts a farmyard
where any intelligent or orderly at
tempt has been made to beautify the
grounds, and in small towns decorated,
tidy premises are equally rare. Door
yards in the outskirts of cities are
often just as unkempt. In places of
lawns, flowers, trees and shrubs we
find broken-down wagons, farm imple-
ments and machinery about an un-
painted house scarcely fit for a stable,
and not infrequently stock runs loose
about the house.
This disagreeable phase Of life is
pictured merely to ask If good, cheer
full, intelligent citizens Of high stand.
ard may be reared amid such sur
roundings. Can you expect culture
and refinement in young men and
women coming from such so-called
homes? And the pathos of it all is
that they are not to be held account.

ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, the Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear
ing Rabies.

Whether a fish can have dydro-
phobia is a question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street, Brooklyn
would like to have settled, and foI
that reason he has sent to the Pas
teur institute in New York the head
of a pickerel that bit him at Swarts-
wood lake recently, says Newton IN.
J.) correspondent of the New York
Press Henry was fishing in a boat
that was trifle leaky and he took off
his shoes and socks. His first catch
was pickerel weighing three pounds
When he yaDked the fish it Topped
around in the bottom of the boat in
lively fashion.
AS Henry was batting up again he
felt a sharp pain in one of his feet,
and, looking down, saw that the pick
erel had made jump and fastened
its teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
of his landing net to pry open the
f1sh's jaws before he got free of it.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured it, and Henry be-
came worried. He says he thinks it
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and as a precaution-
airy measure, he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.

Browning, son of the famous poet

fact that there apparently is no will

the property, of which there is good

Coddington of New York and from
whom he lived apart for years, owing
to incompatibility of temper.

M HEL[SS
BOOSTER TRIPS WORTH WHILE
II Actual Financial Benefit Cannot
Be Shown, They Still Have a
Distinct Value.

There is a difference Of opinion
among Burlington business men as to
the value of so-called booster trips.
Close figuring has convinced num-
Der that these trips do not pay. That
Is, that there is not sufficient new
business developed to make up for the
time and money expended.
And perhaps that may be true. But
there are always things which your
mathematical man is apt to overlook.
He is of the kind who counts the day
wasted that is spent at the fishing
club or on the golf grounds. The
booster trip has a value, and much
greater one than is generally appre-
ciated. 1t enables the members Of the
booster party to get acquainted with
some of the actual or prospective Gus
toners. 1t may open the way for
future business. But what is much
more valuable and important, it makes
the members Of these parties better
acquainted with each other. And,
then, 1t Is day, or a week, ostensibly
devoted to business, but partly de-
voted to pleasure. 1t is change from
the eternal routine, and few of your
mathematical men realize how i'm
portant, how necessary, an occasional
change Of this kind is, and how heavy
is the cost that those are called upon
to pay who never indulge themselves
with such a change Of program.
Even where there are no direct
demonstrate benefits, the booster
trip is Of great value, of real benefit,
to all who take part therein.-Burling-
ton Hawkeye.
