FROG MIGRATION ODD SIGHT
Thousands Of Them Hop Through
Streets Of Oregon City on
Short Cut.

Klamath Falls, Ore.-Frogs. big and
little. treble and bass. paunchy. goggle-
eyed old bullfrogs and slender. striped
little acrobats who were tadpoles last
spring. invaded this city the other
day by thousands. hopping solemnly
and earnestly through the streets on
their way to Lake Ewauna to upper
klamath Lake.
Not all OF them arrived, for they
are excellent trout bait. and all the
anglers who could possibly take a day
on made the most of the supply. From
time immemorial the frogs have made
this annual migration.
They might follow the waterway
connecting the two II they chose. but
nobody knows when they discovered
an overland crosscut. three miles long.
and ever since they have stuck to 1t.
The fields vanished and the city
came. 1t made no difference to the
frogs. They continue to hop stolidly
each year over cobbles and asphalt.
through dust and across macadatn. re-
gardless OF men and horses or later
automobiles, bent only on their solemn
purpose.
What impulse or signal determines
the migration Is unknown. Apparent
ly the army has no leader and 1t does
no foraging on the march. The next
day not frog was in sight. but there
arose at night a great chorus OF shrin
and rumbling basses from the marshes
of the upper lake.

In the early days OF Arizona. an

presiding at the trial OF murder case.
An aged negro had been ruthlessly
killed, and the only eye witness to the
murder was n very small negro boy.
When he was called to give his testi-

jected on the ground that he was too
young to know the nature of an oath.
and In examining him asked:

What Red Cross Seals Do.

Every Red Gross Christmas
Seal that is sold is a real bullet in
the fight of tuberculosis. These
seals last year helped to support
thousands of needy tuberculosis
patients and to give them a chance
for life. They provided for MANY
Visiting nurses, whose hundreds of
thousands visits brought Instruc-
ton and cheer to numerous pa
tients. They helped maintain dis
pensaries in scores of cities from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, where
thousands of consumptive patients
received free treatment, aid and
advice. They provided the means
to purchase millions of copies of
circulars. pamphlets and other
literature with which the public
has been educated about tubercu-
losis. They have established and
helped to maintain more than $50
open-air schools for children who
needed open-air treatment. These
are just a few of the ways in
which the 100000 received last
year was expended. This year
81, 100000 is needed.

The arrangements made by
VIM. j. Harris director of the
census for the wider distribution
of statistics collected by his office
concerning the quantity of cotton
ginner, the quantity of cotton
consumed monthly, and the stocks
of cotton on hand at the end of
each month, has met with general
approval throughout the cotton
growing states.
He has received numerous sug-
gestions concerning a still wider
distribution of these statistics, and
he has made arrangements with
the postmaster general to allow
the postmasters in every post
office in counties where cotton is
grown to post in conspicuous
place copies of the report contain
ing statistics of cotton. These
copies will be printed on extra
large cards, so the figures can be
easily read. Mr.. Harris hopes
that in this manner he will be able
to give the farmers, and all others,
access to the valuable statistic col
lected by this bureau. Heretofore
the reports have been given by the
bureau of the census to newspaper
representatives and to the different
telegraph companies for distribu-
ton. Following this distribution
copies of the reports have been
mailed to the ginners, manufac-
turers, and warehouse men, but
their has been no practical method
devise for the distribution of the
information directly to the far
mers. 1t is Mr.. Harris purpose
to give the statistics to the far
mers SO they can take advantage
Of the information collected by the
federal government.

Paying For The Paper.

The editor was speaking to a
prominent business man today,
and he voluntarily spoke of how
much the Daily Review was ap-
preciated in his family, and how
much they regretted missing an
issue. He said his wife first read,
then he read it, and lastly his
little daughter read it, and all
we're pleased with it. Those who
read a newspaper regularly are its
warmest supporters Exchange.
They are. And those who pay
for it regularly have the greatest
respect for it. Paying for thing
is the supreme test of the value of
that thing to the payer. The man
who takes a newspaper and fails
to paw for it has to find an excuse
for his remissness, an excuse that
excuses himself to himself. There
fore he agrees with himself that
the paper is no good. That ls>his
excuse. How necessary, then,
that the publisher collects what
his subscribers owe him. It's not
solely because he needs the money,
but partly because he needs the
respect of his readers, and by
getting the price of his ware he
gets both money and respect

.Ynat's TIE Matter With
The Shreveport Times!

There is something radically
wrong. either with the business
management OF the Shreveport
Times or with the Texas and Pacl
fc Railroad.
The Times is. besides being q
good newspaper, the most valuable
paper for the people of this sec
ton of the State because it con
tains the latest market report.
Yet Notwithstanding these facts
it is but of little Importance to tht
people of this locality because j
is generally about Sc hours ole
instead of from 4 to 6 when re
ceived.
To illustrate what we say. last
Mondry was the first time it came
on It's day of publication for more
than a week and about a month
ago we heard gentleman say that
he had kept a record on the sub,
iect and that it had missed four
teen days in the month.
The trouble probably is with the
railroad and there is no excuse
whatever for it.
If this railroad will not deliver
the mail promptly. some govern
mental power ought to compel ii
to do so.

Plans for Next Years Crops.

Although the provldent farmer
has laid his plans and planted
some of his crops for the new
year already, other perhaps arc
backward, undecided and waiting
for the drift of events to map out
their courses for them. A few
thoughts suggest themselves with
reference to things that are lndis-
pensable to su ccess on the farm.
The season of the year has now
arrived when the fields are being
cleared OF the litter OF last years
crops preparatory to the work
neg year. In this connection the
suggestion is: don't burn this lit
ter Except IN the case of weevil-
infested cotton stalks and certain
noxious weeds, which should be
burned earlier in the season, re-
turn everything to the soil that
can not be consumed for feed.
One wouldn't think of buying
fertilizer and then burning it, and
yet there arc thousands who pro-
ducc large crops of straw, stalks,
vines, ETC., which contain valua-
BILE fertilizing properties, and then
destroy them by burning instead
of turning them under for the
enrichment OF the soil. Don't burn
anything about the farm that can
be pro6tably used for the improve
ment of the soil.
Another don't that should rigid
ly be observed is: don't delude
yourself into believing that the
boil weevil will not reappear.
Should the months of July, Aug
ust and September be dry, the
pest may not make his appearance,
but the chances are against this
supposition; therefore, do not risk
too much on cotton. 1t pays bet
ter to diversity, anyway. Write
to professor Dodson, of the State
Agricultural College, for the Ex-
pertinent Station bulletin on crop
rotation, and plant and cultivate
your crops according to the in
formation therein; keep in touch
with the experiments made on the
State Experiment Station and
with the reports sent out by the
Agricultural Bureau at Washing
ton. Drain your land and prepare
it thoroughly before planting the
seed. Plant only the best selec-
ted seeds. Grow lespedeza. alfal-
ia and clover-legumes generally.
Plant plenty of corn. cow peas,
sweet potatoes, rutabagas, pea
nuts and stock beets for the live
stock and hogs. And don't fail to
remember that the secret of sue
cess is hard interchangeable work.
