rying wheat options to materially higher

market for iron and steel is promised
owing to the growing disposition on the
part Of consumers, particularly the rail-
roads, TO accumulate new supplies. while

in recent days at advancing prices, ad-
verse weather in the South and the ac-

markets are strong and quotations on
commodities in general are higher than
those recently reported. Advices regard

the states east Of the Mississippi River,

mated that large acreage will be aban-

The fearful tragedy OF the sea has ex-
erted a most depressing effect upon
sentiment in the financial circles, but
the disaster in itself has not been an i'm

THE CAPTAINS ORDER&

The captain of the Titanic died a brave
in not taking more precautions in ap-
preaching the ice Of which he had been
warned. If so. he has expiated his fault
with the supreme sacrifice. The same is
TO be said of his error in too much yield
ing TO the delusiOn that the ship was un-
sinkable. But the primary responsibility
for his doings may have TO be in justice
placed upon other heads than his.
1t may readily be granted that much
was left to his discretion, as in the mat
ter Of speed. Accepting the positive
statement that no orders were given to
him concerning the management Of the
vessel by his chief employer, who was
aboard, was he not, nevertheless, under
orders, implied and felt if not expressed ?
Knowing how his employers wanted him
TO run the ship, he may have run her in
the way which he believed would be most
pleasing to them. 1t is a fact that the
Titanic was pushed at a steadily in
creasing rate until she reached the top
speed of her voyage at the very time
when her captain himself expected her
to encounter Ice
1t is time for a different spirit to pre-
vail. The competition in size and speed
may continue but that must not be the
main thing. There must be a realization
Of the fact that the safety of human lives
is the supreme desideratum, that the
captain or other officer best serves his
employers who most faithfully seeks that
end and that no size nor strength nor
other material quality Of ships can as
sure even approximate security without
an unfailing application of the personal
factor OF vigilance and prudence.

liver. Onions, cabbage, cauliflower,
turnips and water cress, because they
contain much sulphur, are excellent
agents for purifying the blood, and
are of especial value at this season.
Melons are cooling to the blood
and stimulate the digestion Lettuce
also cools the blood. Among the
foods that soothe excited nerves are
prunes. Whenever possible eat fruits
without cane sugar and avoid sugar
as much as you can for it tends to
make the lazy liver lazier. Lettuce
and celery are among the simple
cures for insomnia.
Lemons are not only an aid to the
action of the liver, but, like pine
apple, reduce the fever in
sore throats. But the lemon is vast
ed if you eat it with sugar. And it
is too strong to be taken directly into
the stomach. Half a large lemon or
all of a small one should be squeezed
into a glass of cold or hot water and
thus drunk. Always take this cleans
ing drink morning and evening. 1t

DO NOT PLANT FREAKS
SAYS LANDSCAPE MAN

Warning against the planting OF
freaks and costly ornamental plants,
Prof A. l.. Peck, landscape gardener
of the Oregon Agricultural College
gave some excellent practical advice
to the visiting farmers at the Oregon
Agricultural College last week.
Explaining first that the delay in
the development of landscape work
was due, usually, to lack of know
ledge as, to how to proceed since the
progressive farmer is always looking
for the best in all things and is per-
fectly willing to beautify the home
grounds, Prof. Peck spoke of the two
styles, formal and natural.
The location of the buildings, the
drives, walks and paintings already
there must be studied. he says, with
special attention to grades, curves and
material. He discouraged the use of
such artificial ornaments as iron stags,
stone dogs and china rabbits.
The improvements of the home
grounds will naturally stretch over a
long time, said the speaker, ana nee
essitate careful plan. He advised
the study of catalogues for the choice
of shrubs, vines, ornamental plants
and flowers adapted to climatic and
other conditions and suited to the sur
roundings.

PEERESSES WILL HAVE
BIG CHRISTMAS PARTY

Twelve Year Old Baroness, Mary Pc

sion.
London.-Full of joy and thankful
ness, Mary Petre, II years old, will
give a Christmas party.
For, through the unceasing efforts
of her mother, the Dowager Lady
Petre, that small aristocrat has es-
tab,ished her claim to the ancient
barony of Furnistall; she is a peeress
in her own right.
Most appropriately little Baroness
Furnistall will have as her guests
eight girls and young women. who
are all peeresses in their own right;
blue blooded descendants of some OF
the Oldest and highest families In
Great Britain. However, it is safe
to predict that the fair company
around Baroness Furnistalls board
will be far from dignified: but gay,
vivacious. Long lineage cannot
dampen a girls high spirits.
The Baroness Clifton will be one
of the party. The baroness, a few
months younger than Baroness Fur
but that fact does not seem to rem
der her less lively. Her nurse car
ried her to the coronation of the
late King Edward, for it was her
right to be there. She sat among
her kin, the Blighs. Her uncle is the
earl of Darnley, and she is his heir
presumptive. At the coronation the
baroness behaved in the most LADY,
like manner, but apparently deeply in
terested in the sparkling jewels and
vivid uniforms.
BARONESS Beaumont will congrat-
ulate her sister peeress, and perhaps
drink her health in small--a very
small glass of diluted wine. Baron
ess Beaumont has reached the mature
age of 16 years; she was years old
when she succeeded to the baronetcy
which had been in allegiance. AM

mont numbers John De Breisere, king
of Jerusalem, but that does not af-

The countess of Cromatrie is rath-
er more mature; she is the only coun-
tess in her own right who is mar
ried, having bestowed her heart and
hand on Major Blunt, who took her
name. Countess Cromartie is per-
fectly capable of writing an ode to be
read at Baroness Furnistall's feast
for she is an author of good poetry
and short stories.
Lady Cromartie is the sister Of
Lady Constance Stewart Richardson,
who dances in her bare feet and
commits other unconyentionalities in
public, of which Lady Cromarte
highly disproves. .f af f.a

NEW COURSE OFFERED
IN ORCHARD ECONOMICS

In the short course at the Oregon
Agricultural College. opening Jan. 6.
new course in orchard economics
open only to those who have had pre-
vious training under Prof. c. /. Lewis,
will be given.
Until now our energies have been
centered on fruit production" said
Prof Lewis. "As crops increase and
the price fluctuates, one of the great
est problems will be that of lowering
cost of production.
This course deals with that very
thing. We first study land values,
cost of clearing, preparation, stalking,
planting, and tillage. Then we take
up the cost of cover crops, pruning,
thinning and handling the crop.
There will be laboratory exercises
in orchard plating, the relation of
the location of orchard buildings to
orchard economics and management.
Training will be given in planning
and constructing packing houses. The
class will meet every Tuesday, Thurs
day and Friday afternoons throughout
the four weeks of the short course.
