Corn may he raised with success in

When the corn is taken off in the

secured.
Umatilla county farmers who Will

The above is the view of c. L.
Smith, agrculturist for the O.-W. r,
& \. Co. who is here today enroute
to Pilot Rock to attend the big farm
ers picnic to be held there tomorrow.
Mr. smith is specializing this year
on the subject of corn growing and
he is enthusiastic over the corn show
to be held here next December. The
O.-W. r. & y. Co. has already sent out
on request over 1000 packages of seed
to be used in raising exhibits for the
show to be held here and for the show
to be held at CoifaX, Wash.
According to the expert who has
had many years OF experience in the
northwest and in the middle states 1t
is a mistake to thing cool nights make
corn growing impossible in eastern
Oregon and Washington. Corn is
grown with success he says ana the
greatest obstacle is the fact farmers
are satisfied with wheat raising and
do not want to go to the trouble of
raising anything else.
The advice of the O.-W. r. & n.

HEADS AND HOLLOW PLACES
By CHARLES IL. MANDY

There is little Of the humorous in the
proceedings of the trial courts of the
county, for generally 1t is q serious
proposition for all parties concerned
The very nature OF the proceedings
calls for dignity and decorum, whether
1t be fight for the life or liberty of
a defendant, or the trial of personal and
property rights. Occasionally, how
ever, a touch of the humorous Will
crop out and enliven the trial of a case,
especially when the introduction of a
little frivolity can have no material ef-
feet on the case, and as the old adage
has 1t, "a little nonsense now and then
is relished by the wiscst mem"
Saturday in the third division of the
city court so ably presided over by
Judge John H. Miller, a trial was on in
which one of the large service corpora
tions was sued, the PLAINTIFF claiming
damages for alleged personal injuries.
When the plaintiff took the stand he
stated that he was injured in street
car accident and that "a hole knocked
in the back of his head also that the
hole was still there. A physician was
called to give expert testimony, who
stated on the stand that at the point
on the skull where the plainYif claims
he was injured there was natural
depression or hole"

The Flonzaley quartet gave a concert
at the Jefferson theatre yesterday after
noon that will long be remembered as a
I iotable event in Birmingham's musical
life. The audience was large and discrim-
mating. It was. in fact. the largest sun
day audience ever seen at the Jefferson
The parquet was almost filled, while all
the seats in the balcony were occupied.
The quartet composed of Adofo Bett
first violin; Alfred Pochon. second violin,
Ugo Ara, viola, and Ivan d'Archambeau,
violoncello, rendered this delightful pro-
gramme:
Haydn, quartet IN G major, Op. 75, No.

Presto, Allegro ma non troppo.
Beethoven, Andante cantablle con va
riazioni (From quartet in A major. Op.

The quartet not only excels in tonal

by the accompanying instruments was a

The New Stenographer

From lne 1ltNtldHu Deditf
A Cleveland corporation lawyer has
a new stenographer-the second new one
this week Strange to say, he didn't dis
charge the first one because she was in
competent but because she was too good.
Let him tell it.
This girl came to me we'll recommend
ed, and when l dictated test letter /
found her extremely rapid and accurate.
So 1 employed her on the spot. She fell
right in with the work, and I decided that
/ had found treasure. But the third
day she gave me shock.
IT was debating an opinion in a COM
plcated infringement suit. and 1t was Inn
portant that it should be accurate in
every word and phrase. This was the
third draft 1 had written, in fact. At one
place I interrupted myself. and said to
the stenographer;
lam / speaking too fast for you, Miss
jackson? Are you getting my words
down correctly?
..'Oh, I'm getting them all right she
answered, smiling. And you don't speak
nearly az fast as | can take. I'm about

are STILL that we are able to appreciate
and measure the mighty bond of relation
sblr existing, between us and those who
are gone, as manifested in our recognition
of life's obligations and our endeavor to
discharge the same in the spirit of the
sove that once kindled our own and the
wisdom whose voice is now but a spirit
ual echo of the past And even then our
thought is mostly of ourselves, and not
OF those. the memory of whom brings us
to ourselves. Is the memory sad because
its influence is sinful? Are its recollec-
tons the bitter fruit of disloyaty, deceit
and sin? Or is our remembrance peaceful
because its suggestions are pious? Is
our thought sweetly reminiscent of the
service of Galliee the surrender of
Gcthsemane, thessacrifice of Calvary, the
triumph of the resurrection, the promise
and assurance of Olivet? One or the
other 1t always Is; but our consideration
of 1t is largely confined to the effect of
1t all upon our own conscience and ca
reer, and we are more or less mindless of
the curse or blessing, either one of which
must have attended that other life now
surviving only in the memory of having
been !
But now. as we ponder upon It. what
must have been the bitterness of that ex-
istence. the memory of which is only
bane to all interested in it, or influenced
by 1t? What must have been the blessing
of taht being the consideration of whose
foe alike, and a testimony to the trium-
phant power of good over evil, of love
over hate, of life over death?
Upon the dilligent exercise of our facnl-
ties depends any sense of satisfaction with
our existence.

Bishop John G. Murray yesterday morn

years he spoke to his former parish

was assisted in the service by the Rev.

Bishop Murray was visibly affected as

the bishop expressed the pleasure it
gave him to be present once more with
his Birmingham friends and his appre-

had received during his visit TO the city,
and of the presence of such a large
gathering.
The text Bishop Murray took for his
sermon was "The Memory of the Just
