done up attractively in neat pack

Councilman r.. c. Vandevort in a
most humorous manner. Many arti.
cles of dress were contributed, which
the purchaser was compelled to don.
E. B. Crary became the lucky pur.
chaser Of a full dress suit, built in
ante bellum days, and was taken up

GRAYs HARaOR LUMBER
Shipment DURING 1914

Foreign and coastwise lumber ship
ments from Grays Harbor during 1914
were nearly equal to those of 1918
and, but for the closing Of the South
American market during the last three
months because of the war, the 1914
shipments would have exceeded those
Of 1913 by several million feet. The
1918 foreign and coastwise shipments
of lumber were carried in SO vessels
and amounted to 85,404,O00 feet valued
at $986,200. The 1914 shipments car
ried in 81 bottoms amounted to 49,
$4,000 feet and were valued at $685.
900. The opening nine months Of
1914 showed a much better record
than those of 1913. The last three
months, however, witnessed a decrease
Of about 100000 in the value of lum.
Der shipped to foreign ports COM
pared with the same period in 1913.

Opie Read thinks this would be a dreary old world if everybody in it had a million dollars.
 Think of it, just think of it, he asserted at the Auditorium at Oma- ha. If everybody was worth $1,000,000 and a man asked another to do some work, he would just put on high-up air and tell him to change climates.
 ''1oo much money cripples good fellowship. There was never a falser belief than that money and igno- rance can make man happy. l would like to impress this on the young man who hasn't got a dollar.
 Poverty doesn't mean virtue, any more than ignorance means right eousness."

SOME GOOD COMING OF WAR
for Soldiers Fortunate Enough to Survive Conflict

"The best risks, for many years to come in our business abroad, said a life insurance, agent in Boston, twill be the soldiers pensioned after the present war.
 'As a rule clergymen and army officers Gin times of peace) are the best risks. This is due to the fact that these men have to live plainly, they usually take a good deal of exer- else in the open air, and they are free from the nervous strain of husi- ness or satisfying an employer.
 "Pensioned soldiers are quite as good risks as clergymen. A pension is large enough to provide an eX- soldier with good food, a comfortable home and sufficient clothing With the leisure he enjoys he spends much time in the open air, the best help of all toward longevity.
 "The youth of Europe. concluded the agent, ''are being severely tried just at present, but those who sur yive the war will have, thanks to their pensions. far better chance for long and comfortable life than they would otherwise have had.

Drain Your Land.

During the rainy and wet weather of the winter months is the best time to clear out the open ditches and drain your land. Wet land on the farm is a nui- sance. The wet spots are often small, but they stand in the way of planting and cropping. They have to be planted late or re- planted, and if they grow crop at all they leave ugly spots in the growing crops. It pays to drain out the wet spots, even at considerable cost. If the wet spot is of the saucer shape. or pond-like and has no convenient outlet for ditching. the trouble can be overcome sometimes by boring or digging a well in the lowest spot and filling the well with poles or broken rock. If the we'll goes down deep enough it will often draw the water off. By clearing ditches or digging new ones during the wet wea- ther the running water is very helpful in determining the grade required to run the water off properly. In running your ditches it is always best to follow as nearly as possible the natural drain already in existance, unless 1t makes the course too crooked, A ditch should be as nearly straight as possible and it will pay we'll in the long run in fol- lowing the natural course of the fall of the water if you will cut through the high places and blow out the stumps or trees in the way and make the ditch straight, or nearly so. A straight ditch will carry off the water faster than a crooked one will, and will not fill up as easily.
 If you have hogs plant an acre or two of soy beans. and also a patch of sorghum for hog pas ture. Plant the soy beans in the drill in rows about three feet apart and blow them out like corn. using side harrows for the later cultivations. Plant about the middle of April. When the beans begin to get ripe turn the hogs in and watch them grow and fatten. If the soy beans ripen and fall on the ground they will not damage, and the ! hogs will get them, Soy beans will make you a fine hay crop too and will do well if you SOW them broadcast like peas. The sorghum patch should be used : for hog pasture during August when pastures are dry and bar ren. Plant the sorghum in time for it to be large enough to turn the hogs on by the first of Aug uSt.
 Keeping the hogs up is the best way to keep the cholera out. Give them plenty of mixture of salt, sulphur and charcoal, and keep plenty of fresh water handy for them.
