an arrangement .has been completed
which secures for the U. of o. summer
school course of six lectures by the
eminent and brilliant psychologist, DR..

and other works. DR.. Jastrow's lee
lures, which will be given one each
evening, during the week beginning
Julyi8. are on the theme Character

BANKERS HONOR
HOOD RIVER MEN

At the convention of the State Bsnt

MIR. Blanchar. cashier Of the First
National bank, states that the meeting
was the best since the association was
established seven years ago. "It was
well attended and az excellent rro-

report of the agricultural develoDmeDts
resulting over the state from the school

few of US knew of the magnitude il has
assumed. Prof. L. R. Alderman. su-
perintendent of public instruction. and
President Kerr, o. A. C., made talks.
The latter said:
"The problem here is to So Distribute

both the people in the country and the

that we must further college agencies
and demonstration work as a means Of
handling the situation. " Superintend-
ent Alderman addressed the bankers on
industrial education in the public
schools. As the bankers inaugurated
and aided this work, Superintendent
Alderman's address was OF marked in
terest. He showed that there are now
industrial fairs in every county of Ore

demonstrations. According to Super-
intendent Alderman, the results in five
years time from the poultry alone
raised by the state children will pay
amply for the industrial education
The vital import to the bankers of
this work was revealed in Emery Ohm

SET OUT TO PLEASE CRANKs
Clerk Who Gained Good viii Of Diff
cult Customers Deserved Pro-
motion That Followed.

ANYBODY can hold the trade of a
good-natured customer" said the SUI
perintendent Of a large mercantile
establishment to a new clerk. TITS
the man who can please the cranks
and chronic kiclIers whom we want
and who will find himself In line for
promotion"
The new clerk remembered. He
set himself to please difficult Gus
toners, the ones who like to com
plain and will find an opportunity to
do so no matter how good the service
and merchandise. Il realized" he
says, "that their money is just as
good as the next mans, though it may
be more difficult to get"
1t was not long before the obliging
clerk had built up a personal trade,
so that critical customers would ask
for him on entering the shop. They
liked to be waited on by one whom
they knew desired to please. Often
they became much less crochety.
The superintendent was as good as
his word. When the value of the
new mans services became apparent,
as it inevitably did, the promised
promotion was not long delayed.

LITTLE GRAY LADY
Why the Oldest BOarder Left Her
Little, Half Bare, Top
Story Room.
BY HUBERT PAUL.

The Little Gray Lady had left oul
boarding housed
1t was all the more astonishing be,
cause she had lived there, so Mrs. Pot
ter said, for fourteen years. She had
occupied that little half bare room OF
hers on the top story nearly all OF
that time. When she had come, most
of us young fellows had been children
playing Indians and making mud pud-
dlngs. Nobody had thought that she
would ever leave. She went out every
morning at $3.50 to her work-she was
cashier in some Office downtown-and
came back promptly at six; she had
no friends; she never went out in
the evening. Some of us, taking pity
ON the lonely little middle-aged spin
ster, had sought her friendship, but
she had always amiably and politely
discouraged us,
We looked at each other in aston
ishment that evening at the dinner ta-
Bile when Mrs. Potter told us. No, the
Little Gray Lady had given no explain
alton. She had merely said, very
sweetly, that she was going away, had
packed her trunk and gone, giving
some address in a modest uptown
street. Mrs. Potter had hoped that
she might be permitted to call The
Little Gray Lady had evaded the
proposition with the adroitness born
of fourteen years of evasion Of all
personal matters. Then she had
driven away in a cab, and that was
the only thing that had seemed I'M
usual in the manner of her going.
For the Little Gray Lady was not
given to cabs.
Perhaps she's gone to get mar
ried," suggested Parsons, a shock
haired youth, who sat at Mrs. Potter's
right.
"Mr. Parsons, there isn't any man
worthy Of her." said Mrs. Potter Sc
verely, and to that he heartily agreed.

lived SO unassumingly. think we all
felt a sense Of personal loss.
1 remember that night wildly, for
we were all engrossed by the news
that Governor Cowper had pardoned
Melchior Jetley, the famous murderer,
who had formed the text for innumer-
able discussions at debating societies
during the period of his imprison-
ment. Everybody knew about Jetley;
but since it is some years since his
release the story may have faded out
Of the public mind, so l will briefly
record it. Jetley had served seven
teen years for the murder of Sam
Briggs. 1t was deliberate, premedi-
tated, cold-blooded murder. Jetley was
a racing man, and Sam Briggs was his
partner. Jetley had recently married
a very charming woman, the daughter
Of a fashionable clergyman of our
town. Their short married life was
singularly happy. Jetley abandoned
his old habits and associates, settled
down, reformed and went into bust
ness. Sam Briggs, his partner, fol-
lowed suit and became his partner in
business likewise. They had beer
rarried about eighteen months when
Jetley was called west on business.
Somebody-some busybody-sent him
telegram which brought him back
in hurry. He went home; Mrs. Jet
ley was not there. The scared maid
told him she had gone to Kings res
taurant, frequented by a rather fiashy,
Sporty" set. Jetley went there in
hanson. entered, saw his wife seated
at table with Sam Briggs, drinking
cocktail. Jetley pulled out a revol-
yer and shot Briggs dead
He was tried, sentenced to death,
and had his punishment committed to
Imprisonment for life. After seven
teen years Governor Cowper par
doned him. And the Imprisonment,
and the pardon, too, divided society
into two holly antagonistic camps.
Some maintained that he should have
been sent to the chair-or gallows,
rather. for hanging was then the legal
method of execution. Others demand.
cd that he be freed. During the whole
seventeen years the agitation contin-
ued. No doubt oId-timers argue out
the matter yet, as we did on that eve
ming.
Look at it this way" said Parsons.

houses generally look well because
they are solid and plain.
The reception room at the right of
the hall in this house is rather UNI
usual; but the plan admits of having
it, and 1t has its uses. Frequently
there are callers that you do not care
to entertain in the parlor. The calls
made may be business ones, or the
occasion may be during muddy time,
when a second room saves a valuable
rug; or it happens, sometimes, that
friends call just at meal time, and

COST or MARKETABLE MILK
Increasing Price Of Feeds and Labor

Responsible.

The people Of cities who complain
about the high prices of milk may be
interested In knowing what It costs to

able milk An investigation made last
by the dairy department of the col.
lege of agriculture, Ohio State univer.
sity, shows that the average cost Of
milk in Ohio is about 25 cents, or 6.25
cents per quart, allowing 5000 pounds
per COW per year as the average milk
production. This takes into consider.
alton the cost OF feeds, labor. interest
on investment, maintenance, insur-
ance, taxes, etc. When the average
milk production per COW is increased,
the cost is decreased, The average
cost Of distribution is 81 cents per
quart as the cost Of producing milk
and delivering it to the consumer
This means that when milk retails ut
ten cents a quart, the average pro.
Queer and distributor is making little
or no profit in the transaction. Where

tributing on large scale are employ.
ed, the above figures are greatly re.
duced and there is a fair profit in the
dairy business. However, it is the av.
erage producer who keeps average
COWS, the increasing cost Of feeds and
labor and the greater demand for sani-
tary conditions that are contributing
to the high price of milk

On the neck of the can is a bifurcated
lug, and just above it, on the lid is
a small hinged arm with perforations
in it. There are also perforations on
opposite sides of the lug To seal the

then inserted in the aligned perfora.

Good Dairy Farmer.

A good dairy farmer has been de-
scribed as "a good general farmer
plus the love of cows" This is a good
definition, because the man who does
not have a fondness for cattle and
who does not find some satisfaction in
caring for them seldom turns out to
be very capable and prosperous
