A widely-known member OF congress

steadily into a popular Washington
manicuring parlor one morning, un-

on the top of his head to the sparse

the patron, as she began rubbing the

The girl continued to rub for ten

Handling of Fruit and
Vegetable By-PrOducts

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis.-With the purpose
of finding some way in which all the
grades and parts of fruit and vege-
table products can be utilized and put
ting an end to the enormous waste, a
new bulletin on handling fruit and veg
etable by.products has been issued by
the Extension division Of the Agricul-
tural College. 1t is pointed out in this
bulletin that the profits Of orchard and
garden business are often practically
wasted through failure TO make pro-
per disposition of inferior grades and
waste products. The ideal purpose
for which it is intended all fruit grow
ers should strive is the selling Of as
much of the first grade fruit in a
fresh state as possible and then con-
verting the remainder into the highest
by-product form for which 1t is fitted

One of the most ingenious of the

and then ranges the bar along the
edge of the door with the end plate
resting on the top. He then adjusts
the gauge points at top and bottom

SATURDAY

To Saturday it would be hard
to hand too much of honest
praise; it certainly inspires the
bard to put up fifty-seven lays.
All days are slick, when rightly
viewed, with optimistic heart and
eyes. but Saturday seems like a
dude among a bunch of hayseed
guys. 1t is the best of all the
days, it sees the long weeks labor
done; the workers go their home
ward ways, each man lopsided with
his mon. There's nothing makes
us more serene than knowing we
have bravely wrought to earn the
package OF long green which to
the wives and kids we've brought.
And when the week end whistles
blow, announcing now a day OF
rest, what peace and comfort do
we know, who faced our tasks and
did our best! Then the long night
Of perfect rest, and Sunday sees
lis at the kirk, to hear about
country blest, the home of those
who pray and work. So let us
work, and let us pray, and do the
thing that's to our hand, and when
is gone life's fleeing day we'll
caper in the Happy Land.
