TAMMANY NOT ECONOMY
Mitchell Tells Real Estate Men
Mccall Plea Is Absurd.
TIGER A "MONEY WASTER"
Nominee Points Out Advantages
Business Would Derive from
Fusion Administration.

John Purroy Mitchell told a good sized
audience in the Real Estate Exchange
yesterday that the pretence of Judge
Mccall that Tammany administration
would save money for the taxpayers was
absurd. If one could judge by the ap-
plause the fusion candidate for Mayor
received, his speech, intended TO con-
vince the real estate men that the fusion
administration would best suit their IN
terests, had the desired effect.
Surely. the enlightened real estate
men Of New York viii not be readily
misled by the humorous efforts of the
Tammany money MASTERS TO appear In
this campaign as the friends of the tax
payers and the watch dogs-or guardian
tigers-of the treasury" said Mr.. Mitchell.
The candidate added:
"As real estate men you are more d.
rectly and vitality interested in having
an enlightened. businesslike city govern
ment than almost any other element IN
the community. That real estate men
are alive to their own special public in
terests is shown by the active part taken
by them in all the local boards of trade
and taxpayers associations.
IF the city spends its money well, II
it lays out its public improvements wise
ly, you are the first to benefit Your
values are directly increased. If, on the
other hand. administration is slip-shod
and full of waste and petty favoritism,
you find yourselves paying heavy taxes.
with little to show for 1t.
at is. Of course. obvious that you want
the tax rate to be as low as proper at
tention TO the city's needs will allow.
You realize its Importance more than
do the rent payers. though they, too, in
directly pay heavy taxes
But you are certainly too wise to sub
scribe to the point of view of~one real
estate man who has been speaking In
this campaign for Judge Mccall and who
is reported to have said: What / want
is less honesty, less efficiency, and more
economy
Surely, as much as any citizen, you
are looking for honesty and efficiency.
and for exactly that kind Of economy
which can go only with honesty and eff
cheney. You want the public funds to go
only for legitimate public purposes"

Mr. Mitchell said that, although he de-

OF bankruptcy, nevertheless he was fully
aware of the urgency and importance OF
a thrifty and economical administration
Of its affairs.

Later senator Bacon took occasion TO say
that he would not vote for the measure
because of the gravity or the interna-

Senators Cummins and Williams replied
that the Senate had no other way OF
abrogating a treaty and that ample pro-
vision had been made for giving the re-

five hundred students in Earl Hall. Al

fall, and that is by fraudulent voting and

THE
OORHAM
COMPANY
SilperSmithS
A
TIMELY
SUGGESTION

We all make the same mis-
take about Christmas shop
ping. We wait until too late
to do it.
We form all during the year
pleasant plans to buy nice
things for our kinsfolk and
friends. Then we put it Oft
until the Christmas rush is on,
with the shops crowded, the
clerks tired, the assortment OF
goods depleted. Often we have
to give up buying presents al
together, or make an unsatis-
; factory selection. l have had
that experience myself many
times.
What do you think Of the
idea of attending to your
Christmas wants now7 Yes, L
mean right now. Why not!
You could not find a better
time, or one half so good.
Just now Gorham's is all
ready for you. The store is
well stocked with goods, the
statesmen with plenty of time
to wait on you and aid you in
making a good selection, the
engravers with ample time to
do perfect work, and all the
conditions ideal for satiSfac-
tory buying.
The variety of things that
you may select from is more
complete now than it will be
three weeks before Christmas.
Furthermore, the Gorham
Company has perfected it's
facilities to take care of early
shopping this year, and to save
YOU all the trouble and worry
around Christmas time. All
YOU have to do now is to 60 in,
buy your present, direct how
YOU want it marked and when
and where YOU want it sent
Christmas week, and Cor
hams will do the rest.
You will find that buying
your presents now will save
you fatigue and nervous wear
and tear. 1t is foolish to put
off your buying until the shop
ping crush begins.
All that I have said about
Christmas present-buying is
even more true about getting
out your Christmas greeting
cards. If you have not already
put in your order you ought to
do it now. If you wait until
the last minute you will not
be able to get your cards as
promptly and you may over
look a lot of good friends that
YOU want on your mailing list.
Suppose you turn over
new leaf this Christmas and
attend to all Of these things
right now. Gorham is pre-
pared to cooperate with you
to the full limit of its re-
sources. Extra preparations
have been made to serve the
convenience Of the early
Christmas shODDer this wear.

SCHOOL NOTES.
BY Supt. Notson.

On Tuesday of last week, Prof.
M. S. Pittman and the writer
visited the school at Lexington.
The teaching force of the school
is composed of Prof. L. A. Doak,
principal, and Misses Alice Thay-
er, Eva Swanson, Ramona Bis
sell, and Florence Olmstead. The
interior Of the building has been
greatly improved by new coat
of paint. The high school room
has been divided to better accom-
modate the work. A fine labora-
tory is being fitted up, and the
work in physics and chemistry
will be made thorough, The
Smith system Of heating and
ventilating. recently installed,
seems to be giving excellent sat
isfaction. New shades have been
provided for all the windows, and
the light is carefully regulated.
The work Of the year is we'll be-
gun, and everything indicates
that the pupils are doing good
work and are enjoying it. With
the. additional teacher in the
high school, much better work is
made possible.
After the writer and Prof.
Pittman had enjoyed the hospit-
ality of the Carmichael home
during the noon hour, w. G.
Scott brought them to Heppner
in his Ford buggy.
District No. "a has voted a
bond issue for the purpose of
building a new schoolhouse.
Until the new building is COM
pleted the school will be held in
rented building.
District No. s will vote upon a
bond issue, Oct. 1. If the bonds
are voted, a modern two-room
building will be erected.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Many do not bother testing eggs set
under hens but such eggs are just as
apt to be infertile as those in an in
cubator. and thus the hatch is lost
These eggs need not be brought to the
house and thus rendered liable to chill,
nor need lamp be taken to the nest
Use an electric dashlight It's dandy
for the purpose and safe anywhere.
One great thing about geese is that
after they are about three weeks old
they can paddle their own canoe. All
you need do is to furnish water and
grass. And don't forget that hens turn
grass into greenbacks too. Green stuff
takes the place of high priced grain
when fed as part of the ration. and
yet lots of fanciers whom greens cost
nothing let their fowls suffer for it all
summer.
Mrs. George w. Simpson of Camden,
N. j., claims to have a hen that lays
an egg in which is inclosed bright
new nickel. She should take this hen
and mate her to a Golden Wyandotte,
and then perhaps she will hatch out
golden eagle.
The editor of an English poultry
Journal suggests the extension of the
period Of consumption of the turkey to
prevent glut of birds at Christmas
Think of that, you turkey hungry
American who couldn't get turkey at
Christmas because there was none or
because you couldn't raise the dough to
buy the high priced high perch per
fecto.
Birds with heavy huffs like Cochins
often lay infertile eggs during the
breeding season to the surprise of their
owner. To prevent this it is the habit
of some to trim or pull the hufs just
as the tails Of fan tail pigeons are Of
ten cut
The Leghorn was brought to this
country from Italy in 1853 and has sus-
tanned its fame in the laying game
ever since. 1t is the most numerous
breed In America today. 1t is the bust.
ness hen that is the foundation of the
poultry business, and, though every lit
tie while some fancier proclaims the
debut Of breed that will surpass the
Leghorn in egg production. the Leg
horn keeps on the job and retains the
egg championship of the earth.
The older ducks get the later they
lay in the season, and the fewer eggs
they lay the fatter they get The big
plants market breeding ducks after
their second season, as after that they
do not pay.
We advise our graduates Of agricul- |
tural colleges that. though their alma /
mater rather adorns them with a halo. /
that halo is soon worn to a FRAGILE /
when they take the platform at farr..
ers' institute. and are unprepared TO
answer the questions propounded. That |
question box is trap that has caught /
many a fellow who has depended on ]
his halo to carry him through.

KURIos FROM KoRREsPoNDENTS
Q. Which do you prefer = the long
house or the colony house? A. We pre-
fer the long house. 1t is cheaper.
warmer, requires less ground and is
labor saver Carrying feed from one
colony house to another through snow
and wintry wind is no joke.
Q. How about keeping moth balls in
nest while hens are Matching? A. They
don't amount to much. Dust with louise
powder instead.
Q. How long does 1t take for a chick
TO kick the shell? A. A vigorous chick
generally comes out five to ten hours
after Piping shell.
@. How much ought Toulouse gos-
Iings a month old weigh? A. From
four to five pounds.
Q. Do hen and duck eggs hatch well
together? A. No Duck are larger than
hen eggs, and eggs should be of like
size for the hen to turn and heat them
well. Hens eggs hatch a week earlier;
thus duck eggs will get smeared. and
the hen is apt to leave them to mother
the chicks.
@. Is beef blood good for chickens.
and how is it prepared? A. 1t is boiled
in a sack, but must be fed moderately
1t is not SO safe nor good as cut green
bone.
Q. How is sulphur for a bug killer
and hen tonic? A. Burning sulphur
to kill red mites we have not found eff
fectual, Much of it goes through the
cracks in the average henhouse, and
mites that are affected revive. 1t is
blood purifier. but if weather gets
damp while fowl has sulphur in its
system rheumatism often results.
@. Is beef scrap so prepared that it
will not deteriorate with age? Some
manufacturers claim their scrap cannot |
spoil. A. We draw the line at three
months. That's three months too old |
for some.
