any carving in his life. Furthermore,
there was in addition to the chicken
fried sole in front of his place, and
he was also expected to help to the fish.
He made the best Of the carving by

attacked the wing.
"The sole, the sole!' cried the lady.
He looked for the feet, but no soles
were left, so he tried drumstick. But

Buyers Week Great Success.-60O
$. Outside Buyers Registered.

Portland, Ore, Aug. IS Especially
Buyers Week is a thing of the
past, but it was week that will be
vividly remembered for long time,
probably until next years Week"
which from all indications will be at
tended by greater number of buy
ers than the one Just past. The reg
istration at the Portland Commercial
Club reached nearly 600 and the Wis
itors represented practically every
town of any Importance in the Pa
cific Northwest. 1t is estimated that
goods purchased from Portland man
ufacturers and jobbers during the
week amounted to approximately
$1,000,000.
The visitors were hardly allowed
sufficient time to do their buying,
certainly no time to get homesick or
lonesome, for entertainment of some
kind was on tap nearly every min
ute. Receptions, smokers, theatres,
banquets, luncheons and automobile
trips followed each othe, in rapid
succession during the entire week.
If any one had complaint to make
he did not make it public, and most
of the visitors departed with hear
ty "See you again next year." and
expressions Of deep satisfaction with
the business and social events of
their short vacation.
A statement just received from
0. M. Plummer, general manager Of
the Pacific International Livestock
Exposition will be of interest to ev-
cry farmer and stock raiser in the
state. After calling attention to the
date of this years show at the I'm
ion Stock Yards at North Portland,
December 7-12, he says:
.The Exposition is purely educa-
tional along livestock lines, there be-
ing no Wild West or other amuse-
ment features and is unique, in that
it will pay over $4,000 in cash pre-
miums and makes no charge for en-
try fee, stall room or admission. Like
the international of Chicago, the
Pacific International of Portland is
recognized as the court of last re-
sort on the Pacific Coast.
Premium lists will be mailed to
all breeders who belong to the diff
ferent breed associations; others
who desire copy may secure same
by applying to the general manager.
Early reports indicate SO per cent
larger entries than last year, and
commercial organizations all over
the country will be asked to coop
crate with the railroads in forming
special parties to attend the show.
Bankers, as we'll as breeders, are
taking keen interest in the Exposi-
tion and are lending their very active
support. "F

TRAINING AS POWER EXPERT
Subject That in America Has Not
Been Given the Attention That
II Deserves.

Power is one of the greatest factors
In modern-day work. The thousand
and one branches of it offer admirable
fields for conquests by Vigor and
brains. In the field Of power a few
concerns have assisted men to obtain
vocational training. From the boiler
room have risen men by successive
stages to positions of grave RESPONSE
bility. In an issue Of Power neglect
in this branch of vocational training
in the United States is commented
upon az ,'ollows:
"'PovAr is a factor in all the i'm.
portant affairs of modern life,' says a
writer aid thinker, and necessarily
the engineer, who makes that power,
is also factor in that the whole pur-
pose is not merely to make the wheels
=. 'roppd,' but to turn them at prof
IT. Furthermore, electricity, the steam
turbine and the waterwheel have
made the engineers vocation even
more difficult, demanding degree of
operating skill that is well-nigh i'm.
possible to acquire in some cases with
out special training.
1--WE are told that Of all the great
nations, ours is the most deficient in
vocational development. Germany for
ty years ago saw its need and met it;
England, Scotland, France, Austria,
Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and
Denmark are all paying heed to it. If
We would successfully compete in our
own chosen field with the large immi-
grafton yearly coming to our shores
We must find the means to equally
educate our own people in their voca.

Fortunes in Sausaues.

Westphalia, in Prussia, is the home
of the sausage. There, it is said, a
trader will name no fewer than 400 diff
ferent kinds of sausage. A sausage ex'
hibition was held recently in Germany
at which 1000 varieties of sausages
were shown.
In this connection the story is told
of a young Prussian who, though he
had received an expensive training as
a. chemist, shut himself up in his lab
oratory, and instead Of devising new
dive, safety match, motor engine, ex-
plosive, aeroplane or Photographic
lens, took pork, veal, olives, pepper,
fennel. old wine, cheese, apples, Gin
namon and behring's roe and from
them evolved a wonderful and totally
original "wurst," the best of it's kind.
He has amassed a considerable for
