Good morning" Then she turned
into the library and left me.
After 1 had thought of this incident
for the rest Of the day and most Of
the evening, 1 decided to be even
larger than had any idea I could be
and overlook the whole thing. 1t was
natural that Miss Scroggs should be
little confused by my unexpected
friendliness. Possibly she was even
suspicious. 1t did seem queer, IN
doubtedly, for me to take so sudden an
interest in her. Anyway, she wasn't
used to attention. / might have to
perseyere very gently so as not to
brighten her. But she was a bright
little girl and deserved notice and,
confound II, she was going to get 1t.
/ had a chance to take off my hat
and say "Good morning" to Miss
Scroggs on the following day and on
the day after that, but that was all.
She was always surrounded by girl
friends. They were the plain and IN
adorned members of the class, but
they seemed to enjoy each other so
much that l hated to burst ruthlessly
| In on their ranks and take Miss
| Scroggs away. 1t made me mad, how
ever. 1t was Friday, and now would
have to wait until Monday to become
intimately acquainted with her. Some
how, seeing her hedged about by for
bidding females and entirely inacces-
sible, made me more anxious than ever
to begin the friendship, and Sunday
seemed long day.
On Monday conditions were very ia
vorable. / cut In ahead of the body
guard going out, and followed Miss
Scroggs down the stairs. She was
mine. / was quite excited. Good
morning" 1 said pleasantly, raising
my hat. I was about to fall into step
with her and walk over to the library.
But 1 didn't. She turned and spoke
to me very pleasantly, but from the
next planet, and suddenly l became
afraid that If 1 walked with her /
might bore her. Perhaps she didn't
want to be bothered with me that day.

TICK ATTACK NO. 2

The Texas-fever tick lays
from 1900 to 5000 eggs year.
Ticks suck as much as 1000
pounds of blood a year from
a 1,000-pound steer.
Ticks reduce a cows milk Is
to AZ per cent, a loss of Z to 10
cents a day to the farmer.
Ticks get the benefit Of every
pound of feed, hay. and concen-
trates infested cattle eat.
1t costs the South $5O,OOO,OOO
a year to board the ticks on cat
tie.
Driving cattle through ar
senical dipping baths kills
Texas-ticks and lets the animals
grow.
Louisiana and Mississippi
have made ticks Illegal by re-
quiring every county to dip all
cattle.
Two hundred and ninety-fOur
thousand and fourteen square
miles of territory have been
freed from the cattle tick by
dipping, but 434,529 square miles
remain to be freed.

TOBACCO STEMS FOR NESTS
Make Best Material for Reason That
Mites and Lice Cannot Stand
Odor Of Plant.

Tobacco stems make the best nest
,np material for the reason that lice
and mites cannot stand the odor of
tobacco.
When stems are used they should
be lightly covered with straw or ex-
celsior to make them softer and to
keep the eggs from coming in contact
with them.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD

Generally speaking business is good up and down the Pacific Coast. There is money in the banks and more employed in the channels of legitimate n- dustry and trade than ever before. Farmers were never more prosperous Mining is at high-presSure point In the California playGrounds of tine grown ups there more gaiiy and life than before witnessed. Shipping is limited only by the nsuffic- tent tonnage Heating the Pacific. Vessels are being built at san Francisco. the Columbia river, Grays Harbor and Puget Sound fast as all the available men can build them. Thee is launching from one or another Of the yards evey few days. Hotels de Gink" soup kitchens. bread lines and all similar institutions have disappeared entirely There is work for all who seek enploymert-that is for all tradesmen and unskined ms nual labor
 Only two of the important industries of he Pa cnc coast seemingly. still show signs Of the Quietude that was naugurated with the panic of 1907 and which has been displaced throughout the country by the period Of greatest American production. The lumber trade is not wholly satisfactory. but umbermen admit thct this is due to causes tat ase susceptible of satisfactory change. The failure or this industry to respond to the general revival trade is lack of bottoms and cars for transportation rather than a lack of markets Not only is it impossible to get vessels to carry lumber foreign ports prices that will permit the purchase of the commodity, put the demand for cars with which to the crops is still operating to the disadvantage of the lumbermen. It is said by manufacturers of lumber and shingles that there is real demand for this product through out the Middle West and among the agricultural and mining communities farther west.
 The other Pacific coast industry that still Ian gishes is the sale of lots and other real estate and speculation generally. Peopue are going in for production and trade rather than gambling in futures.
 Among bankers and others the general opinion is that there will be continuation of the improve ment that has been marked during the last year in business The United States has been accommodating money rapidly The profits foreign trade have been large The banks filled with unused money. There is general search for securities that will yield an income The opinion prevails that an increasing amount of the accumulated profits will be ready for investment in development projects of all classes. The disposition inspect projects that require new capital carefully. but those which stand up under investigation are now being taken up. and there will be more money in the immediate future. accord

GOOD HOUSING AND GOOD

The intimate connection be-

has been clearly demonstrated
In a number of cities There a per.
sistent effort was made to keep
sanitary, by cleaning and fumiga-
ton, badly situated dwellings, the
results were unsatisfactory. Liv-

decided that the only hope lay in
wiping out the areas of insanitary
dwellings. It tore away the old
houses and built new ones. These

the population on a given area in
the new dwellings, is SO per cent,
the same as that which lived on
