WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT !
:. IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO !


From The Washington Standard for
June Q, 1855. Vol. vi. No. 81.
Hats for men were invented at
Paris in 1903. In London they were
first manufactured by spaniards about
century later. Before that time the
men in England wore closely knit
caps.
The Copperheads elected their
ticket, except sheriff, in the canvass
last Monday. the Union party being
split asunder.
The Water Works - Our town is
now as amply supplied with pure,
wholesome water as any place on the
coast. The main pipe has been laid
for several weeks and workmen have
since been engaged in laying supply
pipes through the cross streets, alleys
and into the adjacent stores and
dwellings.
The most important item of news
received the past week is the an
nouncement of the death of General
Winfield Scott, who died on the morn
ing of May goth at the ripe age of
80 years.
We publish today, from the San
Francisco Sunday Mercury, the first
part Of letter to that journal by
Miss Harriet F. Stevens, one of the
ladies Of the Mercer party, descriptive
of the voyage of the Continental with
the party to San Francisco.
Among permanent improvements
being made in this place we may
refer to the wharf building at the foot
of Second street, which promises to
add no little degree of thrift to the
appearance of our town. It will be
20 feet wide, and extend to the chan
mel, with an ell of 40 or so feet to
give ample room for all classes of
vessels to receive or discharge cargo.
The term of the supreme court
which should have been held in De-
cember last, had any two Of the
judges been in the territory, will be
held on Monday next. under a spe-
cial provision made by the last legis-
lative assembly.
Miss Harriet F. Stevens will open
a select school in the schoolroom next
to the Methodist church on Monday,
June Is.
We omitted in the last issue to
refer to the very neat store and ex-
cellent assortment of groceries lately
opened in this place by Mr.. J. g.
Parker.
The Fenians invaded Canada last
night, says a Chicago dispatch of
June I, crossing the Niagara river
four miles below Buffalo, about 1900
strong, and were today entrenching
themselves to resist attack. The
troops comprise volunteers from the
West and Southwest.

Perhaps the sudden death at sea of their popu-
lar hero, * of H." will awaken the English
people out OF that SNUG complacency and self
confidence which they have exhibited so far dur
ing the great European war, in striking contrast
to that ally of theirs, France. Lord Kitchener
was the man who had organized and equipped the
English fighting machine, beginning his work, not
before, but after the war had started and it was
his personality and popularity which carried it on
SO successfully.

We hope that every dairyman has read closely
the article on the tuberculin test Of cows by Dr.
H. T. Graves, state veterinarian and acting COM
missioner of agriculture, which is concluded in
this weeks issue. So many erroneous impressions
are apt to be gathered concerning this test and

such as this should be given most careful consid-

Southwest Washington was given big boost, in
comparison with the other general sections of the
state when the state labor bureau issued it's latest
compilation of the cost of living, showing that a
family OF five persons can live more cheaply here
than anywhere else in the state. And these fig
ures are not guesswork-they facts, furnished
by the merchants of fortyfour different cities and

GREATER THAN FIRE LOSS"
By PROF. Fl. II. KING
Kansas State Agricultural Collage

Kansas State Agricultural College.
- ACK of paint causes a great
or annual loss through de-
terioration than the aggre-
gate Kansas fire loss for twelve
months. Yes, there is much
more reason for a real Clean
UP and Paint Up" campaign
than the average layman would
at first recognize.
Paint, as has often been said,
serves more than the mere pur-
pose Of decoration. Its principal
value lies in the fact that 1t pro-
longs the life of the surfaces
painted.
Wood and iron, on exposure
to the air, undergo slow proc
ess of oxidation, which just as
surely destroys them as though
they were set on fire, the diff
ference being the speed at which
the reaction occurs.
We take out insurance to COW
er loss by fire and should just as
surely put on paint to cover loss
by decay. It takes very little
calculation to discover the ap-
parently astounding fact that
the loss through lack of paint
ing is greater in Kansas than
the loss by fire.
When the property owner
comes to a full realization of the
true reason for painting there
will be no need for public-spir-
tied people to back up Ma
tional Campaign for such a pur-
pose.

THERE'S WORK FOR
ALL In THIS CAMPAIGN
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
Women Can Take a Leading Part
in This Movement for Beau.
tiful, Sanitary and Safe
Home Towns.
By LOUISE KEEPER, Chairman Civic
Committee, Ohio Federation
of Women's Clubs

of Women's Clubs
YxYOMEN are housekeepers. They
wv are apt to see more clearly the
need of municipal housekeeping
than are men. Through our clubs we
have an excellent opportunity to lead
in Clean Up and Paint Up" work. Here
are some pointers for women who
would help regenerate their commu-
nifty with a real Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaign:
Each campaign involves the renova-
ton of the interiors of buildings as
well as yards, streets and alleys.
The removal of all rubbish and USE
less things is most important.
Some revenue can be derived from
the sale of waste paper.
During the "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign is good time to have rub
bish cans placed upon street corners,
for the deposit Of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of a town than the liberal
use of paint.
Useless and unsightly outbuildings
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Rub
Dish accumulates in cellars, under
stairways, in storerooms, passageways,
and In the rear of hotels and restau-
rants. Look out for RATS here.
A clean yard is not sufficient; 1t
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
In lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and
trees.
The thresholds of town should be
made inviting to the visitor.
This is good time to find out about
the sanitary ordinances of the town.
How about the regulations In regard
to garbage collection, the use of closed
garbage cans, manure piles, splitting,
toilets, ETC.? Are they adequate? Are
they enforced? Appoint committee
on this subject. Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
1t is very important that the Clean
y and Paint Up idea be impressed
upon the minds of school children.

You get up three meals day, bake
a cake or something of the sort. That,
with the rest of your housework, eats
up your day, gives you no leisure
and leaves you completely tagged.
Now, it isn't the actual cooking that

not carry his breakfast into the field,
and works on until the bells rings for
dinner. He says his labor understands
his rules and they do not give him any
trouble about it and that he has no
trouble in keeping labor Mr.. Murray
says that he made an effort to get all

them all, and did not do so. He says
that not bucket has been carried in
the field for eating purposes since last
