HAS HERD OF WILD ANG0RAS
Farmers Pet Goats Forgot Oomes-
ITCHY in Oregon Mountain
Home.

Hood Eiver, Ore.-For the last sew
eral weeks mountaineers who have
made the ascen of Mount Hood have
been c%ontradicting the statements of
authorities on Northwestern natural
history by reports of having sighted
wild sheep or goats high on the snow
fields of the peak.
A drove of the animals near the
summit of the snowpeak, huddled I'M
der the shelf of a glacial %precipice,
was recently seen by Hans and Paul
Hoerlein, William Marshall, w. b.
Arens and Ned Crawford.
The mystery was explained by P.
H. Mohr, a young upper valley home
steader, who was in the city on bust
ness.
"It's my herd of Angoras u wild"
said Mr.. Mohr.

W COULD SET EXAMPLES
Streets in Many Small Cities Worse
Than Country Roads-Farmers :
Have Better Public Spirit.

It is high time that the rural Sec
lions of America called to the towns
to mend their ways and their streets,
says a writer in the Country Gentle
man. This is our conclusion after a
recent tour of hundreds of miles
through a prosperous country. We
found highways in rural sections well
kept and comfortable, but there was a
far different story in the small cities
and in the numerous towns and viii
lagos through which we passed. The
main country roads were smooth boule-
wards compared with the streets in
the average town or city. In some
places where the homes were hand
some and the factories busy the streets
were full of holes.
1t was a striking illustration of the
greatest roads failure in America.
Small cities and towns have Jagged.
A roads expert, who recently has trav-
eled over most of the country, says
the fault is general. In the past five
years the rural situation has improved
vastly, but the small city and town
showing is sad. When you near a set
Element you begin to bump.
For this the explanation is that the
town or city has too much local in
difference. A banker said to us :"We
have two factions and each is so busy
fighting the other that nothing is done
for the town." 1t is a great pity. The
very communities that ought to be
ahead on good thoroughfares are be-
hind.
Perhaps farmers might jog them into
right action by taking their patronage
to towns and cities that provide good
streets to travel over.-Chicago News.

honeymoon, and like other American
bridal couples, they tried to keep their
destination a secret.
The bride took the degree of Bache-
Tor of Science last year, and is now
trying for the degree of Master of Arts.
She is specializing in pedagogy. Mr..
Pagan is a graduate of Wisconsin uni
versity, and has already taken the de-
gree of Master of Arts at Columbia.
This year he expects to take the de-
gree Of Doctor of Philosophy.
Both were born In the state of Baro-
da. India, and they have known each
other since childhood. Their childish
friendship ripened into love, and four
years of separation did not lessen their
affection. Mr.. Pagan came here six
years ago after winning q scholarship
at the University of Bombay, and his
bride has been a student at Colum,
bia for two years. They plan to re
turn to Baroda next summer, and viii
take up educational service for the
government.
To the uninitiated in a wedding ir
Sanskrit, 1t was impossible to deter
mine whether the word "obey" was {
part Of the ceremony. One Of thu
Hindu students present at the wed
ding, however, explained that the 50
credness in which the ceremony wa
held by the Hindus obviated any EN-
phasis on this point. So sacred is tn,
ceremony, in fact, that only to thos
for whom the ceremony is being per
formed are its secret canons revealed

Put Bones Under GROUND.

Most people do not suspect the great
iertilizing value there is in bones. To
the ordinary amateur gardener there
is a wide difference between the bone
he holds in his hand and the soluble
plant food so necessary to plant de-
velopnent. But the fertilizer compa-
MES know that bones are the highest
class fertilizers (not counting war
prices of potash) except dried blood.
Ground bones sell at over $50 a ton
wholesale, when other fertilizers sell
around $40 to $25 a ton. The scientific
farmers use large quantities of ground
bone, even in the growing of such
crops as wheat, corn and oats. Re-
member this next spring.

PRINTING INSIDE AN EGG
Massachusetts Woman Finds Small
Piece of Newspaper in Boiled
Hen Fruit.

Quincy, Mass.-Rivaling at least, if
not tra~nscending in Importance, the
famous question asked by a former
king of England as to how the apple
got inside the dumpling, is the ques-
ton that Mrs. Sarah c. Williams of
Cross street would like to have sci
entists, o~rnithologists or anybody else
answer.
Mrs. Williams broke open an egg,
after the egg had been boiled. Inside
she found a piece of newspaper about
half an inch long and an eighth of an
inch wide. There were a few lines of
print on the paper, and Mrs. Williams
could make out the three words, ITO
be known" and, underneath, "go to-"
The egg was in good condition.

MORE HORSES THAN EVER nEFoRE.

Nearly everyone believes that the horse is fast disappearing; but they are
in error. Census statistics show that there are more horses in this country
now than ever before Notwithstanding that 100000 horses have been gathered
up by France and Great Britain and sent to the war front
The motor car and the motor truck, while greatly increasing in numbers,
have not caused q corresponding decrease elm the Use If horses. This is shown
by figures gathered in Chicago, where in the last five years motor vehicles in
creased from 1000 to $4,000, while horse-drawn vehicles only decreased from
$4,000 to $4,000. Thus $4,000 motor cars came into use, but they displaced only
1000 horsedrawn vehicles. From these figures it would seem that 1t will be
a long time before horses disappear from the streets.

the past few weeks, decided to go into the laundry business on a even larger
scale. A new and larger washing machine has been purchased, and it now
proposes not only to wash the towels of the post office department. but also
those used at the Washington city post office. This will mean that the post
Office laundry will wash on ar average of about 1000 towels each day.
at a cost of not we IS cents per 100 towels. 1t is said that the bids received
by the department were in the neighborhood Of so cents per 100. 1t can
therefore be estimated that the department is saving approximately $500 a
rel by doing its own laundry work, and not only has its towels on hand
at all times, but is sure that they are thoroughly washed.
