Chiluren Cry
FOR FLETcHER'S
ASTORIA
HIGHER EDUCATION.

She's an algebraic wonder; all her leisure
Solving problems In equations that are at
her fingers ends.
In the higher mathematics she has gained
a college fame,
Where her geOmetric genius added luster
to her name,
She is up on trigonometry, and figures are
her forte.
For she even knows the age of Ann, ac-
cording to report.
But when playing off a rubber it's q pipe
she'll never miss
Gurgling sweetly to her partner some in
spired phrase like this:
"Yes, indeed! l just dote on bridge. It's
such lovely, scientific game! Let's see
what's trumps?"
She has read the leading authors, and her
diction is most choice.
She can rattle reams from Browning in
cultivated voice.
Never platitude she utters; she's original
and bright
And she scOrns to Use expressions that
are commonplace or trite.
But it's safe to bet some evening she'll be
gazing at the moon
With a chaps that humming marches that
are popular in June,
And he'll ask single question as she
slips her hand in his,
And she'll whisper in his waistcoat some
unique reply like this:
'Oh. John. this is SO sudden"
She Is versed in many languages, from
Dutch to CorsiCan.
She can quote a dozen poets In the tongue
of quaint Japan.
She eXcels in French and Spanish, and II
even has been said
She knows all the rules of grammar in a
language that is dead.
But the day is some time coming when
she'll prattle quite offhand
IN tongue SO weird and complex that no
man can understand.
She'll be talking to bundle 'twixt a rap
ture squeeze and kiss,
And her line of conversation will most
likely run like this:
"Dodbessum's itty-bitsy heartums! Did.
um naughty tolic hurtum's itty tummy?
Zere, zere. dcn't 90 cwy muvver's itty.

! lished. 1t is planned to make the
State brand revokable if after two
successive scolings a creamery falls
below certain grade. Minnesota anc
Iowa have such laws and reports
from those states will be taken into
consideration before this plan is final
ly adopted in Oregon.
Cooperating with the dairy anG
food commissioner the dairy depart
ment of the college has held monthly
scoring contests for nearly year
Creameries are invited to send sam.
Piles of butter upon "a hours notice
and these are scored and reports sent
out with criticisms. A dozen cream.
cries have taken advantage Of this
opportunity and results show that
nearly all can make butter scoring 90
or better. This plan has already stim-
ulated cream grading by the cream
cries, thing that will prove mighty
factor in improving the raw product
as it comes from the farm.
In the past practically all cream
was paid for at the same price, re-
gardless of quality. This simply put
a premium on bad cream, and as it
costs more to produce poor cream
than it does to produce poor cream,
the farmer who produced poor cream
got a premium equal to the difference
in the cost of production between
good and bad cream.
1t has been said that it is the use
of the hand separator that accounts
for much of the bad cream now mar
keted. This is only partially true.
The misuse of the hand separator
rather than the use of it, is what is
doing the damage. Abundance of
proof can be submitted that excellent
cream can be produced by means of
the hand separator. But the separa-
tor must be treated the same as any
other utensil which deals with so deli
cate a product as milk.
The cream after being separated
must be handled and stored with due
respect to its perishable nature and
not stored like one stores grain or
wool.
If plan can be worked out where
by the State brand will be issued only
TO those ereameries which make first
grade butter and to ereameries which
deal in no butter except their own
make. then a powerful incentive will
have been set up for quality in but
ttr. This will further stimulate the
grading of cream and payment accord
ing to quality, the same as other
farm crops are paid for. A few cents
premium for quality will be a power
full factor in educating the farmers

AN ADVERTISING FEATURE.
Readers Attention Is Called to At
tractive Page Tuesdays.

With Tuesdays issue The Observer
presented weekly to the discrimi-
mating patrons of the merchants of
Dallas a page of attractive advertise
ments, among which one can find
practically any of the many daily
household necessities, in addition to
a large list of staple articles from
the reputable stocks of representative
firms of the city. As a special feature
in connection with this page, The OBJ
server offers a cash award of one dol
lar to the first subscriber who detects
a mistake in the spelling of some word
in one of the advertisements. The
misspelled word will probably appear
in a different place each week, and
no more easy way of earning a dol
lar could be imagined than to devote
half hour each week to the careful
perusal of this special page. The
first subscriber to find the mistake,
and present the proper correction to
this office, will be given one dollar in
cash.
This special page of advertisements
is an idea evolved in connection with
the monthly sales day that is TO fea-
ture the business life of ,,ie communi-
ty, beginning Saturday, November q.
The merchants here represented offer
special inducements TO patrons every
Saturday in the month, with reduc-
tions in the price of certain articles
on the big month-end sales day. This
page will aequaint the suyer with
some of the stores that appreciate
their patronage to such an extent that
they offer, wherever possible, special
prices on certain parts of their wares.
The page will at all times contain
some item that is a necessity, and by
patronizing the advertiser a material
saving can be effected. The advertis-
ers on the special page are not neces-
sarily advertising bargains, but many
of them do, and will. throughout the
year, so that a careful reading OF
their offerings will be the means Of
great saving in many households.

OLD BOOK TELLS OF EARLY DAYS

Judge r. P. Boise sold 2 steers to the
firm and received therefor $47.50. Ira
S. Townsend, former state senator,
sold 8 steers and received $100, in
addition to So, which the firm paid
him for doing 2 days work. Rich
ard Smith earned a good livelihood
by hauling provisions from river land
ings, and sometimes from as far dis
tant as Portland. He was paid, in
one case, $50 for hauling one ton
from Portland with his teams. The
fees taken in by Lucien Heath, in
his official capacity as county clerk,
were put into the cash drawer as
proceeds of the business Of the store.
And the fees were more plentiful
then than now, for the clerk received
cash for practically every official ac-
tion he made. Dr. ]. w. Boyle paid
Mr.. Heath $1.25 for recording deed,
and by such fees he made his salary,
allowing his partner in business an
equal share.
There are names in the Brown &
Heath ledger that would make very
imposing array in state hall of fame.
Men and women of intelligence and
action, soldiers, farmers, politicians,
cattle rustlers and bad men, all look
ed alike 60 years ago and, perchance,
the names of all classes are listed in
this little care-worn booklet that rep
resents profits and expenditures of
many hundreds of dollars in the big
store of Polk county's pioneer days.
Among the names, not already men
toned, that are familiar to the older
residents of Dallas, and the county
generally, are: William M. Pittman,
the builder of the little wooden court
house that burned to the ground about
20 years ago; James Sheasgreen, the
merry bachelor, who tried in vain for
many years to find suitable wife
that he could legally claim $40 acres
of the donation land allotted to each
married man, rather than be content
with half that amount which was CIV
en- to bachelors. James Sheasgreen,
we are told, settled himself in comfort
and content when the provision al
lowing donation claims ceased to be,
and he died without the accomplish
ment of his one time ambition, died
without finding a wife; H. E. Wort
man, the first and foremost painter
and paper-hanger in the county, whose
manifold cares drove him to suicide !;
George H. Nelson, father of Napoleon
Nelson of Lebanon, who has announc-
ed himself on divers occasions as gu
bernatorial candidate and presidential
possibility; w. S. Gillian, brother of
Mrs. Frank Collins, and himself an
early day sheriff; Serena j. Alfrey,
mother of Mrs. Milo Woods and Mrs.
James Chitty of Dallas; Henry Hay
good, father of Mrs. E. C. Kirkpat-
rick and Mrs. James Campbell of Dali
as; Thomas H. Hutchinson, one time
county clerk John II. Lewis, early
day clerk of the circuit court; Carey
D. Embree, ancestor of the Embrees
of Dallas; J. w. Nesmith, judge, SEN
ator and gentleman; Benjamin F.
Nichols, sheriff and notable citizen; /;
Thomas j. Lovelady, and so many
others of the later famous or un-
known men and women of Polk coun-
ty that to name them is impossible.

Oregon State Brand
Simply Gigantic Farce:

which shall and which shall not be
allowed the use of the State brand
The creameries also wholly disregard
ed it, some Of them cutting butter
made in other state and selling it un-
der the State brand. Its abandon
ment now does not mean its perman-
ent abandonment, for it is the inten-
ton of both the dairy and food com
missioner and Professor Graves of
the Oregon Agricultural college to re-
establish it under a different plan al
together, and when it is re-establish-
ed it shall stand for quality:
The dairy industry of Oregon is
hampered by two evils. First, the
large proportion of bad cream com
ing from farmers where little or no
care is given the product, and second,
the jobbing interests that cut all kinds
of nondescript cubes and sell them
under one label as first grade. With
no one specified by law to do the
grading and to restrict the use of the
State brand, we soon found the State
brand running wild. With large
quantity of bad cream and a small
quantity of good cream the skilfull
buttermaker can make a grade of but
ter that is fairly good if used at
once, and may even score above 80
for a day or two. In a few days,
however, it will be off flavor, and be-
fore the housewife gets through with
a two-pound square it is extremely
bad. She saw the State brand ON the
label which she understood was a
guarantee on the part of the state
that it was of good quality. This
brought the state officials, the State
brand, and the dairy industry all in
to bad repute. The State brand prov
ed, therefore, a joke and the recent
legislature brought great relief by
abolishing it.
Under the proposed plan which the
dairy and food commissioner and the
dairy department of the college will
ask the next Legislature to enact into
law. a creamery must make butter of
a certain grade for a period of six
months before it will be granted the
privilege of using the State brand.
A sample of butter from the regular
charming will be scored each month
by an official and the grades estab-
