An experiment of this kind, using an

satisfactory, though the bell be sus-

glass, consequently containing some
air, which would convey an almost i'm

Safety Matches Running Short.

According to a Melbourne dispatch
to the Sydney (Australia) Herald, re-
produced in a commercial report,
strict economy in the use of safety
matches is being advocated by mer-
chants who know how limited che
stocks in Australia are at present, and
how difficult it is to procure further
supplies while the war lasts. AL
ready prices have risen 1873 per cent
in the wholesale market, and only
most careful use of these matches
can prevent an actual shortage. The

siege. So, on this thirtieth of May the
lnhaDltants were just beginning to be
subjected to the horrible experiences
OF continual bombardment and starva
ton, which lasted until the Fourth of
July, when the city surrendered. Caves
were dug in the ground for the protec.
ton OF the women and children, and
food became so scarce that rats were
sold in the butchers shops
While on this thirtieth of May the
people throughout the country were
watching with interest the develop
ments Of the siege at Vicksburg, their
chief interest must have been centered
on the movements of the armies in
Maryland and Virginia. Since the last
thirtieth of May these armies had met
at Antietam, at Fredericksburg and at
Charlottesville. Thousands of soldiers
from both the North and the South had
fallen in these battles. Only % days
had passed since the battle at Chancel-
louisville. Stonewall Jackson, the idol
of the southern soldiers who followed
him, had fallen in this battle, but the
spirit of his name remained; his faith

Why Men Eat More Than Women

Why Men Eat More Than Women.
mat men eat five or six Der cent
more than women-not because they
are gluttons, but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as result of an investiga-
ton made in the nutrition laboratory
Oh the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and L. e.
Eames, says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have a smaller propor-
tlon OF active tissues than men of
the same weight and more inactive
material, such as fat The investiga-
ton disclosed that the average wom-
an generates only 1856 heat units in
the "a hours, as against 1893 pro-
duced by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound of
body weight. When groups were COM
pared, after careful selection of indi-
viduals of nearly the same height and
weight, the men were found to pro-
duce about II per cent more heat than
women.

- EMORIAL day, as it is
now observed in most of
N the states of the Union,
is a day of thankfulness,
NNWON patriotic thankfulness for
kkSSH the preservation of the
Union. A majority of
people who will take part in the strew-
ing of flowers on soldiers graves are
not veterans who fought in the Civil
war To those who are old enough to
remember the war, its memories have
softened and grown calm, its material
evidences have about all faded from
sight To those who are not old enough
to remember the war, it's events are
only matters of history. But to the
old soldier Memorial day is a day of
reflection and meditation. He will be
thinking of events of those stirring
times" as living realities. Some thir-
tieth of May in the Civil war, in all
probability, was to him an eventfuI
day. Possibly he may remember some
event that took place on each thirtieth
OF May IN the war. Go back with him
IN his reflection as he fancies himself
back in those old days, and begin with
the first thirtieth of May in the Civil
war. 1t was 81 years ago.

The thirtieth Of May in 1861 was a

TRACK WORK rs DELAYED.
Operations on Railroad to Quarry Sus-
pended for Lack of Material.

About three-quarters of a mile OF
track was laid on the .Oswego-P Port.
land Cement company's project before
the large crew of workmen was forced
to suspend operations awaiting more
steel and gravel. The track work has
been going forward rapidly since ii
started ten days ago and about fifty
men were employed. All work that
could be done with the material on
hand has been completed. About
three miles more track is to be laid
before the spur from the Southern Pa
cifc track to the company's quarry is
completed.
Steel is expected to arrive every
day and as soon as a supply comes
work will be resumed and the job will
be hurried TO completion. S. B. Tay-
lor, the cement company's engineer in
this territory, has been laying out a
right of way for a similar spur track
at Roseburg. Mr.. Taylor was in Dal-
las on Tuesday afternoon, en- route
to Portland for a conference with
company officials and will return to
Roseburg this week. They viewed the
progress of the work near Dallas and
expect the job to be ready within a
short time Development has started

point to the beginning of active oper-
ations by spring.

new SYSTEM DESIRED
YAMHILL COUNTY SWEPT BY
GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN.
Court Appoints Committee to Study
Methods in Vogue in Various
Parts of State.

Yamhill county is out in lively
campaign for good roads. The move
ment was started by the Carlton board
of trade. A hundred farmers and
business men from that section last
week swooped down on the county
court and demanded that practical
business system of road maintenance
and construction be installed, in place
of the present wasteful method of Al
road districts. With "good roads"
banners flying, the farmers marched
in body to the county courthouse at
McMinnville. They evidently made
an impression on the court, and as a
result of the visit the county court
has just announced the appointment
of a committee to prepare and sub
init to the court by January l, 1916,
a practical business road system for
the county. The committee is COM
posed of three prominent business
men and taxpayers, w. B. Dennis of
Carlton; C. S. Wright of McMinn-
vile and D. M. Kirby of Bellvue.
The committee will make thor
Dugh study of various road systems
in other counties of the state, as well
as the most successful systems en-
ployed in other states. There are
1900 miles Of road in Yamhill county,
and during the current year the road
fund has amounted to $66,OOO. In
previous years it has been as high as
SS5, 900. The interest in road improve
nent is general throughout the county
and the people are willing to tax
themselves heavily for road purposes.
The county court will await the re-
,ort of the committee before taking
lefnite action toward any change in
he present methods.
