TRAIN GIRLS FOR MARRIAGE,
SAYS IDA TARBELl

In the April Woman's Home Com.
panion Ida Tarbell has an interesting
article entitled, "Give the Girl a
Chance" in which she asks why a
girl should not be trained for what
she will most probably do in the
world.
"Of every one hundred American
girls who live to be twenty-five years
old eighty-seven merry .eighty-six and
seven-tenths, to be exact). One can
form fairly accurate judgment Of
the proportion cot these eighty.seven
who have been prepared for their ad
venture by considering the training Of
the marriagable girls he knows in
various classes. Probably not over
ten per cent have had systematic and
well'considered education in the
technique, relations and Significance
OF the varied tasks, which will be
thrown upon them. It Is not to the
needs of the eighty-seven that mod
ern industrial and technical educa'
ton looks; It is to that of the thir'
teen out of the one hundred who will
presumably be thrown on their daugh'
ters prepared to take care OF them
selves II anything happens the
girl encourages It: she wants to be
independent If anything happens
Generally speaking both parents and
girls look to the high school, and N
fewer cases the college, to do the NJ
ting, II she has graduated she can
be expected TO earn her living win
out further expense. The expectation
is out of all proportion to the reliF
alton"

LOSS FROM A SHIP
 FIRE MAS s2. .1OO, ,0OO
Pacific Coast Liner Congress Re- comes Torch as Last Soul
 Is Saved

Marshfield, Ore. ssSept. i5.-With her hold a mass of flames the Pa eiilc Coast Steamship Company's $ lmef Congress raced against death for the entrance of Coos Bay late Thursday and transferred her pas sengers and crew to $ the dredge Colonel P. $. Michie, thirty miles off shore.
 Shortly after the last soul had been disembarked, the Congress Jared up like a torch from stem to stern and was completely destroyed. All of the 253 passengers and most tof the crew of ITO were landed from the Michie at North Bend near here shortly before 10 o'clock Thursday night. None of them suffered from any injury.
 All the ships papers and valua- bles were burned. 1t was confirmed Friday.
 Thes valuables, estimated as worth S50,000, together with the ships cargo, estimated at a value of about an equal amount, probably will bring the total loss to S2,i00000. Tfe original cost of the Congress was Sl,250.000. but on account of the war, q valuation of S2,000 coo had been placed on the vessel. Vir- tually nothing remains for salvage, altho the hull may be saved and the ship rebuilt.
 The cause of the fire remains a mystery and probably will not be definitely established.

CATTLE DIPPING IMPERATIVE.
Hereafter Stock Cannot Be Driven Across Stateline Unless Dipped.

Dr. A. w. Rice of DeQueen, veter- marian in charge of the tick eradi- cation in this and adjoining coun- ties, arrived in Mena Monday aft ernoon to recharge the vat on the Petty farm. He will also go to Pot ter and Acorn in the effort to inter- est the farmers in the community in the construction of dipping vats. The matter of dipping cattle is be- coming imperative, Dr. Rice states, ln view of the fact that there is a federal regulation which prohibits the interstate movement of cattle Tn any manner without having been given at least two clippings at an interval of from : to i2 days apart The dipping must be done under federal supervision and inspection. MT. Rice suggests that the driving of cattle across the state line with out having complied with the dip- ping regulation is violation of the pulp

PICK AND HANDLE
 COTTON CAREFULLY
.,.rketino Specialists Show How we,bods of Treatment May In- gnence Grades-Rrice Difference
 Greater Than Usual.

Washington D. c. Sept. i9.-Cot-
 .on growers now have one of the 2 besf opportunities of many years to
 protits by increased care in handling E heir cotton. according to cotton
 growing and marketing specialists
 of the U. s. Department of Agrieul- #ture.
 Care in picking. assembling and
 baullng seed cotton, and in ginning,
 as well as in the handling of the hales. may result in raising the sell
 ing value of the fiber materially. KThls Is true every year. During the # nrpsent season, however, the re-
 stricfed crop and limited supplies at fine mills. coupled with the steady demand, have sent prices to high ! levels. making the increase in re- turns to the grower for each higher grade approximately greater. The \ sdyantages ill receiving the highest nossible are so obvious under the present favorable marketing cOndi- lions. that many farmers no doubt | twill adopt the more careful methods (which make the higher values pos sible.
 Ordinarily the matter of grades does not receive nearly as much at tentlon. As result, farmers lose several million dollars annually. This loss would be proportionately greater under the high ruling prices this year if there were no improve ment in handling practices. In 1911 the average price of middling was 956 cents: in 1912, 1920 cents; in 1913. l3.49 cents; in 1914, 794 cents {; and in 1915, ll.95 cents. Middling is now selling around f6 cents.
 The following suggestions for practices which will tend to raise cotton grades are made by the cotton marketing specialists of the U. s. Department of Agriculture:
 Don't pick cotton before 1t has ma tured This will insure stronger fiber.
 Pick carefully to avoid mixing leaves and trash in your seed cotton. Don't store the seed cotton on the ground. Such precautions will help 10 make the lint clean and white
 Don't haNe cotton girlned until it Is thoroughly dry. Ginning while the cotton is wet produces a rough, neppy lint which causes great waste in spinning. Such cotton. therefore, will not bring the best prices.
 When practicable have the gin- ner run his machinery slowly enough to produce an even smooth lint, and pay willingly a slightly in creased fee.
 Protect your haled cotton from dust. smoke and moisture. whether hauling it to market or storeing it on the farm or elsewhere.
 It also pays to handle and store cotton seed carefully. This product IS easily damaged if stored on the
 ground. permitted to get wet, or otherwise carelesslv handled Cot ion seed is now selling at high prices and the farmer therefore, will profit by keeping it in such condition that 1t will top the market Ii will also pay him to keep the seed in good condition for planting. Whereas cotton seed sold for Si7i0 a ton in 1911. it was bringing S3522 a ton in August, 1916.

Judkins takes some interest in oil develop ment and he expresses the firm con- viction that the Dallas valley is un- derlaid with oil.
