notes of plays and players Instead
of using the ordinary white paper Of
commerce. the sheet was printed on
length OF wall paper OF the kind
one finds in hall bed rooms.
The idea was suggested by the ex-

as a result OF the war. and the fact
that in Vicksburg, Miss, during the
civil war, the last editions of the
daily papers were printed on wall
paper because the besieged town ran

WHY HAS GASOLINE JUMPED?-
PROBES ARE ON
The poor abused and threatened
Standard Oil Co., whose stock has
gone up more than 800 points since
the dissolVing order entered by the
U. S. supreme court, is again being
threatened by the U. S. department
of justice, which wants to know the
reason for the sudden jump in the
price of gasoline. .---.
Dist Atty Clyne is holding back a
grand jury investigation here until
word comes from Washington. In
dependent oil dealers claim the Stan
dard Oil Co. is trying to gain COM
plete control of the Indiana territory,
which includes Chicago, by under
selling them.
According to E. E. Grant, secre-
tary of the Independent Oil Mems
assn, independent dealers are COM
PEELED to pay Is cents a gallon for
gasoline purchased from Oklahoma
refineries. Transportation costs 1872
cents and it costs a cent a gallon to
inspect it. Gasoline is now selling
in Chicago at 1872 cents a gallon.
The independents say they are los
ing money.
They claim the Standard Oil Co.
is trying to undersel them to gain
monopoly here that they may boost
prices as they have in territories
now under control. Throughout New
York the price ranges from 20 to %

He Met the Note.

Washington called on President An
drew Jackson and told of govern
ment clerk who owed her big bill for
board. In those days it was easy to
have access to the White House.
President Jackson listened to her
story and advised her to get promis-
sorry note from the clerk and put 1t in
bank. She replied:
'I've done that twice, general. and
he won't pay even then"
els that 500" said the president In
surprise. Now. you go and get his
note and bring it to me. I simply
want to see it. and I'm sure that the
clerk will pay that note. Go and
bring it to me- F.. -@E
The landlady did so and soon return
ed with the promissory note The
president turned it over and wrote
across the back of it his own indorse-
ment. "a. Jackson"
The note was paid at maturity.

ORANGE GROVES DO
NOT LOOK GOOD
Kennewick Peach Grower Says
Old Home Orchard Isn't So
@- ... Bad After All be-.

Cd That the Kennewick peach growers
don't know hard luck when they meet
it, is the opinion of d. E. Stull, who
returned the last of tht week from
southern California where he went to
work thru orange harvest. Before
removing the peach filters from his
orchard, Mr.. Stull spent good many
nights among the smudge pots and
knows how it feels to see a crop nip
ped in the bud, but it was a new ex-
perience to see a crop turned into a
total loss after it had matured and
was ready for the picker.
This is what happened to the orange
groves in California where Mr.. Stull
was working. A drop of the thermo-
meter to 81 degrees for six hours one
night played havoc with the largest
navel orange crop California has ever
grown. Not only did the freeze spell
ruin to many of the growers but it
threw thousands of pickers and pack
ers out of employment.
"The California orange growers, or
at least the small growers, are all
broke and have been broke almost
from the time they planted their
groves" said Mr.. Stull. 81 have
smudging outfit which no longer need
and / talked to several of the grow
ers in the hope that might sell it.
Invariably I met with the same story.
They needed the outfit, the price was
satisfactory, but they didn't have the
money. I suggested to one grower
that if he really needed the outfit he
could surely negotiate loan at his
bank. He replied that he already
owed the bank more than he could ev-
er repay. The same he said was true
of every orange grower in California
excepting the large companies who
operate on large scale and can stand
q small margin of profit. You bet,
Kennewick peach tree looks whole
lot better to me than it did few
weeks ago."

Shortly after the assassination OF

high rank whose names he did not

a guarded reference was made to the

Tennyson impulsively. leaning across

and Count Pahlen strangled him.
There was strained silence; then

subject. As the guests filed out into an
adjoining room Lord ST. Helens drew
Tennyson aside. Don't go into the

Aptitude.

My observation in life leads me to
believe that nearly every human being
has an aptitude-that is. there is some
thing that he or she can do better than
all other things. One in hundred.
again. has remarkable aptitude. and
i'm one In a thousand this aptitude is
developed into something extraordi-
nary. 1t then amounts to natural. in
sight and constitutes genius. Now, a
perfect system of education, If it could
be devised. would be one which. while
developing to the fullest extent all the
faculties. would allow free play to the
special aptitude.-From 1.-THE Autobiog-
raphy of Charles Francis Adams"

A Reminder Of the Days When You
Were a Boy on the Farm.
If you were a boy on the farm you
will recall wildly what harvest meant
to you. for you had to carry water, and
harvest hands were thirsty set, nor
did they seem to care how far it was to
the spring or how badly chapped your
feet. -..... /.
When not carrying water you were
busy gathering sheaves, which was
about the hardest work in sight, or at
least you thought 1t was.
When dinner came you would be so
hungry that there did not seem to be
enough ON the table to satisfy you, to
say nothing of the hungry bunch. In
this you would be somewhat disap-
pointed. for there was always enough

the men would sprawl out in the shade

They Sit Right on the Line That Sepa-

Along the lengthy frontier separating
this country from Mexico. which ex-
tends from the Pacific ocean to the

which sit right upon the line.
Half of each of these towns is Amer

times the Rio Grande cuts them in the
two halves. sometimes only shallow
arroyo and sometimes nothing at all
but the imaginary mathematical line.
These are what call the twin towns.

A Wisa Proyision.

Did you ever notice when a man
smites his thumb with hammer while
putting down carpet under his wifes
supervision how quickly he thrusts the
bruised and throbbing member into his
mouth? People think it is because the
application is soothing. But the move
mentIis purely involuntarily. like wink
ing. The man cannot help 1t. The
fact is that nature knows what man
is apt to say under such circumstances
and so has provided him with an auto
matte stopper Whenever he hits his
thumb hard enough to hurt-and II
doesn't take very hard blow almost
to kill a man when he is doing some
thing he doesn't like to do-by sort
of interlocking system his thumb flies
into his mouth. and for the critical
moment speech is cut of.
