Offers $4,000 for
A Single Word

A $4,000 Christmas present is the
interesting prize that a well-known
MANUFACTURER is offering for one sin
gle word. The makers of the
"Eveready" Flashlights are looking
for a new name to take the place of
the word "Flashlight," which they
say has outlived its usefulness. Orig
inally these lights merely flashed" 4"
but nowadays the batteries will give
hours of continuous light.
This contest is to be featured by
our local dealer, who will distribute
the contest blanks beginning October
Z. The contest closes November at
midnight. Their dealers will make
special window displays and demon
strations of Eveready lights during
the week of October to IA.
Jordan's electric shop handles the
Flashlights here.
One well-known dealer in speaking
of this contest mentioned the fact
that it is not only open to everybody
but that everyone has an equal
chance, as the name has to be a
"made-up" word such as Kodak" or
"Uneeda," or "Tarvia." Consequent
ly, even boy or girl may be FORUM
ate enough to suggest short, easily
spoken word that may prove to be
the 5000 name. The contest blanks
which the dealers will distribute Oc-
tober will give all the details
Three thousand dollars is great
deal of money for one word, but the
Every Ready people expect to spend
millions of dollars advertising the
new word if they get the right sug-
gestion. Perhaps someone in this
city will get the $4,000 on Christmas
day.

Poison Oak Now
Looks for Victim

University of Oregon, Eugene, Oc-
tober AT this time of the year
when the changing tints of the leaves
tempt one to gather them rather pro-
miscuously for decorative purposes,
it may be well to sound warning
against the poison oak, the foliage of
which is often wonderfully beauti-
full. From the inquiries received at
the State University it is evident that
such mistakes are being made, and
that there is a desire for information
that will aid the gatherer to shun
these dangerous plants.
The poison oak of the west (rhus
diversiloba), differs but little if any
from the poison ivy (rhus toxidoden-
dron) of the east. The former has
the habit of shrub, while the ivy
is a climbing vine But often the
so-called poison oak when it finds a
support will climb like the poison ivy
and has all the appearance of the
plant of the eastern states. But it
makes little difference by what name
it is known; it is equally poisonous.
Leaves Like Those of Oak.
It gets the name of poison oak
from the resemblance of its leaflets
to the leaf Of the oak.
The plant bears small white flow
ers in clusters and these produce
white berries, which often remain on
the branch after the leaves have fall
en-, and furnish a means of recogni-
tion.
In some localities it is so abundant
as to interfere materially with the
pleasures of picnics and outings. Its
poisonous effects seem to be due to
an oil secreted by the plant, but it is
difficult sometimes to explain the
suspectibility of some people who can
hardly come into its environment or
let its shadow fall upon them with
out being infected.
Treatments Are Discussed.
AS to its treatment, far be 1T from
me to risk any suggestion as to
universal panacea among the num-
berless remedies that have been used
with apparent success. But expert
ence has shown that what produces
good results in one case may utterly
fail in another.
Scientific experiments have seemed
to show that the most effective treat
ment consists in removing the irri-
tating oil from the skin, and for this
nothing better has been found than
a good washing with soap and water.
Alcohol also absorbs the oil and may
be used as wash, or the alcohol may
be saturated with sugar of lead One
part of hyposulphite of soda in three
parts of water seems to be helpful in
some cases. These may be used as
preventives or as a treatment when
the poison has manifested itself.
This is the precaution to be OBJ
served when walking in the fields or
on hillsides: Avoid all shrubs and
vines having compound leaves with
three leaflets. If one is in any de-
gree susceptible, Immediately upon
return let him wash thoroughly all
parts of the skin that have been ex-
posed with one of the washes above
suggested or any which experience
has taught is efficacious.

History of Motion Picture Industry
BY Beatriz MicheieHa

not such a horse at all as is usual.
found in the stables of motion pic
ture plant. As matter of fact it wal
completely oblivious of motion pic
lures. So was the whole world al
that time 1t was in the year 1871
This horse was of Arabian blood
"a genuine aristocrat. 1t belonged
to Senator Leland Stanford of Cali
fornia, who built railroads, owned
many square miles of grazing, farm
ing and mineral lands and otherwise
accumulated millions, which he spent
in part on senatorial campaign eX-
penses, founding a university and
maintaining a pedigreed stock farm.
Senator Stanford was a man of gen.
tlemanly fads.
Opportunely, at this very. time,
controversy was rife in art circles
concerning the exact position of a
horse when trotting very fast. Some
painters held that one of the horses
hoofs should always be on the
ground. Others argued oppositely.
Edward Muybridge was among those
who debated. He was more methodi-
cal, perhaps, and more practical than
artists are supposed to be. He went
to Senator Stanford (some say the
senator came to him) and suggested
an experiment. For it he would use
the senator's Occident, that being the
name of a horse. If there was a
trotter anywhere swift enough to
pull all four feet off the ground at
once in an onward burst of speed
it was this same Occident.
So 0ccident was harnessed and
driven out onto the track that was
the pride of Stanford's farm. Muy-
bridge, unconscious of the tremen-
dous role he was playing, was there
with his apparatus. The sky was
convential blue. The lazy hum Of
early spring was in the air. The
world lay half doing, contented and
altogether unobserving underneath a
flood of California sunshine. 1t was
a good enough day for men in their
shirt sleeves to play at their hobbies
but to think of serious business
never! So they proceeded leisurely
about their arrangements, fixing this
or that and quite unconsciously set
ting the trap that was to turn the
amusement world "topsy turvy"
Ito be continued next week.

ple. who should know the accepted
method of doing the thing, and they
told me that / must sift the matter
TO its Original sources" With a
hazy idea of what that meant,
plunged at it hopefully, but for days
since have found it almost an end
less job. ] have sifted and narrow
ed and contracted hoping always
to arrive at the problems geometri-
cal point, on and above which its
whole superstructure is reared, but
am as yet not sure that / have found
twill probably be uncertain about
1t to the very end.
Can / any where put my finger
down and say this is the thing
at this small point the motion pic
ture industry begins? What, after
all, is an Original source? If in
stead of motion pictures, / were talk
ing about the eight hour law, which
congress passed and President Will
son signed, and its original source,
would | have gone far enough when
] arrived at the tea kettle of boil
ing water, which begot an idea in
curious James Watts head, which

the railways, which begot a threat
ened railway employees strike, or
which / have to go further still and
chase the metal, from which that tea
kettle was made, to its native noun

ribs on back to what?
Whatever the answer, you can see
that it is a nice question to raise
in way OF introduction. If 1t be a
matter of going back and back, |
suppose, to find the original source
of the motion picture industry, |
would have to trace the pedigree of
a certain horse back through all its
ancestry, and through all the stages
of evolution or creating or whatever
II is that developed a name and tail
and four good trotting legs, and
when, in doing it / had come to
the end of my rope, so to speak, |
would be justified in saying that
had the original source of motion
pictures, insofar as it was humanity
possible to find it. However with
my readers permission, I'll not be
so exhaustive as all this. 1t was a
similar small job that kept scien-
tist by the name of Darwin busy
most of MS life time.
The point of all my observations
above, other than their attempt to
give my history an impressive intro
duction, lies in the fact that before
motion pictures there was horse,
and this particular horse stood In
relation to motion pictures about the
same as Darwin, just mentioned,
tells us the monkey stood to the hu-
man race. Both stepped in rather
prominently somewhere down on
their respective scales of original
sources.
My history then, begins with
horse.

Attention to Potato Growers.

In view of the fact that the most
of you have now secured your seed po-
tatoes and will in few weeks be ready
to plant, you should not overlook
the fact that some of these seed are
likely to be infected more or less with
either the scab or black scurf, or
maybe both, and since these diseases,
if present, are not treated before the
seed are planted, they are sure to be-
come more or less destructive to the
yield and at the same time are uncon-
trollable when once planted, therefore,
it is very necessary that you should
use some precaution in time. This
precaution is nothing, more than a
proper treatment of the seed just be-
fore you get ready to plant them.
This method of treatment does not
require but little extra time and but
little expense, and the good derived
therefrom will more than pay for the
treatment several times over. In
other words, it is an insurance to the
grower for without it the yield could
materially be cut off on account of
DHe VI DOll Ol IHeSe diseases.
The method of treatment embraces
the following: Corrosive sublimate q
part to 1000 parts of water) solution
by dipping the seed in it for one and
half hours. After treatment the
seed should be either planted imme-
diately or allowed to dry. Seed may
be treated for two hours with forma-
lin, Il pint to 80 gallons of water)
to free them of scab, but formalin is
not quite as good against the black
scurf as the corrosive sublimate.
The corrosive sublimate has often
been injurious to the seed when used
during warm weather, therefore one
should keep in mind that it is not
safe to use this treatment when the
temperature is above rs degrees or
