Natives Of the Island Do Not Carry

Propped up against the house Of the
native chief of zap, which Is one Of
the Caroline Islands lying southeast Of
the Philippines may be seen a row OF
money stones" the current coin Of
the island. In shape these stones are
like millstones, but they do no grind
ing. They serve simply as a parade Of
the wealth of the village. Their value
lies solely in the difficulty with which
they are obtained.
The yellowish granite Of which they
are made Is found only In the island
Of Palao, 200 miles away, and when
the monsoon favors forty or fifty ma
tiyes voyage there In their canoes.
After pacifying the king Of Palao with
presents the work OF hewing the wala-
ka, or money stones, begins, lasting for
months until the monsoon changes,
when the toilers start homeward with
their "coin,"
The smallest Of these stones Is about
a foot in diameter and three inches
thick, with round hole through its
center. 1t will buy food for a family
for a month. The large stones. about
three feet in diameter and eight inches
thick. have relatively much greater
value, since 1t is more difficult to trans
port them In cranky canoes over such
long stretch Of sea. Indemnities can
be paid with such stone or the aid

THE NUMBER NINE.

HleHipeF iNlo TulSs
Examine any one of the statements
Of equality in the multiplication table
Of nine. up to and including nine times
ten. Select, for example. 0x7=63; or
DX2=lS.
Observe that In each case the first
digit In the product Is one less than
the number by which nine is multi.
piled, aud the second digit IN the prod
uct is such that when added to the
FIRST digit, the sum of the two Is nine.
You may make practical use of this
popularity Of nine and its multiples by
applying 1t in the following way:
II nine Is to be multiplied by eight,
for example, think at once of seven
(Which is one less than eight, the null
tlpller); then think Of two, which must
be added TO seven to make nine, and
you have seventy two, the product Of
nine and eight.
Or, If nine Is to be multiplied by Eve
think Of four which is one less than
five; then think of five, which must
be added TO four to make nine, and
you have forty-fve, the product of nine
and Eve,

To the Voters OF Umatilla County
In the persons of Lou Hodgen VI
Umapine. and W. T. Reeves OF Stan.
field, the democratio party of the
county has made a wise selection Of
candidates for the legislative ticket.
Both men are as truly representative
citizens as could be found in the
length and breadth Of the county to
whom to delegate the duty and respon
sibility Of representing Umatilla oouu-
ty in the state legislature.
Both are lifelong residents of the
county, Mr.. Hodgen having been born
hare and Mr.. Reeves having lived here
since infancy. Both have from boy
hood followed the Industry which is
the backbone of the country. They
are farmers and each has made con-
spicuous success in this tranoh Of life.
Neither is olassed as wealthy but both
enjoy the prosperity that comes from
improving the opportunities presented
to them with hard working mind and
bodies. They are heavy taxpayers and
as such appreciate the need OF econ
omy in the conduct Of public BUSINESS,
and yet they are progressive and broad
minded enough to realize that mig
gardly policy 10 government manage
ment is neither good sense moi good
tusiness. Their personal character is
atove rsproaoh. In their home COM
munities they enjoy the reputation of
being clean, moral, honest oitizsns.
Mr.. Hodgen is pioneer of the east
end of the county and for the past 30
years hns been farming his own land
there. For many years he has been
closely identified with the school life
Of that section, having served as
school director of the Umapine dis
triot, and the high standard Of that
school is testimony of his progressive
ness. He has also served as mem ber
of the Umatilla county fair board.
Mr.. Hodgen Is democrat but is max.
ing the race as an Independent because
be was not prevailed upon to become
candidate until too late to 6ls as a
party nominee.
Mr.. Reeves is memb ber Of one of
the first families to settle in the west
end OF the county aud has done his
palt to convert that section from a
land of sagebrush into garden spot.
He was recently delegate to the ma.

An argument Is usually tug-of-war,
and tug-of-war does not bring people
together, yet we are often deceived
into thinking that We can bring the
other man over to our side by arguing
with him. Even when an argument
does convince 1t Is not usually the best
way of convincing. 1t Is so much bet
ter to suggest to people than to argue
with them. II you have convinced a
person be is trying to remember what
you have said But II you drop a seed
In his mind 1t will quietly work In
him. Growing truth is more effective
than driven truth.

Jacobs.

Philadelphia THAT science ia on
the threshold of discoveries which
will make it possible to retard or has
ten the growth of human beings was
the statement made by DR. M. w. ia
cobs. He asserted that experiments
with rats have proved that animals
fec Oh certain proteins for extended
periods maintain constant weight,
but as socn as other necessary consti-
tuents are added growth Is resumed.
He cited one instance in which rat
was kept stunted for 532 days, an age
corresponding to about forty-five
years in human life. BY changing the
diet growth was permitted to develop
that would normally have taken place
in youth.
1--WE have 1t in our power" said Doc
tor Jacobs. TO say whether an animal
shall do its growing in youth or old
age, or whether it shall have several
periods of growth. This being true
it is not too much to expect that the
ultimate outcome Of such work will
be the scientific control Of the forces
of organic growth even In human be-
ings.'
