Hughes Ready Anecdotes.

Charles Evans Hughes is a racon-
teur.
In several of his addresses he has
displayed that versatility with anec-
dotes for which all orators aspire and
demonstrated that within his keen ju-
.dicial mind lies a well-developed
sense of humor.
Moreover, he showed his hearers
that as an orator he possesses that
rare gift of weaving into speeches lit
tie anecdotes and recollections which
do more by way of illustration than
mere statements of facts.
Such was the case when the Repub-
lican standard bearer faced a large
crowd of women voters in the Palace
Hotel soon after his arrival in San
Francisco. Hughes wanted to tell
the admiring throng that he felt hon
ored by the tribute paid him by an
audience of women. But he chose
to express his sentiments with the aid
of an anecdote.
Il recall an incident in an eastern
city," he said when a hunter had
trapped a caribou and was exhibiting
the animal for profit.
He charged ten rents for single
tickets to see the caribou and sold
family tickets for twenty-five cents.
From the crowd of ticket buyers
stepped a man accompanied by fifteen
women and asked for a family ticket.
you're not all one family, are
you?' asked the man at the ticket Of
flee.
=" Indeed was the answed. These
are my daughters
Well, you needn't buy any ticket
If that is the case,' said the man with
the tickets. 1T will be more of an
honor for the caribou to see you than
for you to see the caribou"
And that is the way feel myself.
1t seems to me that it is more of an
honor for me to see the crowd of
intelligent women voters assembled
here than it is for you to see me-"

not recommend them. You owe this

MILK CANS SHOULD Be
UNNECESSARY CARE
Thorough Washing and Sterilization
\ Necessity in the Production
of Clean Milk.

In justice to the farmer, milk dea-
lers should give considerable atten-
tion to the question of washing the
cans before they are returned. If
the cans, are allowed to so back un-
washed to the farmer, it is very diff
ficult task for him, with his limited
facilities, to clean them.
In circular letter recently sent
to milk dealers by the Dairy Divi-
sion of the department, it was point
ed out that bacterial counts made
from cans which had been washed
and rinsed in the ordinary manner
Ishowed' that there were from 300,oul
20 1S,000,00J bacteria il each can,
with an average of 4,e0). COO. If 10
gallons of milk were put into one of
these cans there would De added more
than 100 bacteria to each cubic cent?
meter of the milk That is to say,
this is the least number that would
be added. Whereas,it was pointed
out, with little steaming these cans
could have been rendered practically
sterile.
One dealer who recently installed
a modern washing machine employ
ed a bacteriologist to test the re-
suits. 1t was found that less than
900 bacteria were in the can, and
among them was no undesirable
types. Bacteria counts of cans treat
ed by less efficient steaming devices
which this dealer had formerly en-
lployed ran as high as 20,000,000 ba-
cteria TO the can, including some un-
desirable kinds.
There are number of different
types Of cleaning machines on the
market. The aim of all the efficient
ones, however, is the thorough clean
sing with washing powder and water
rinsing, sterilization with steam, and
rapid drying. After this the can
should be covered and kept from con-
tamination.
One of the simplest of the machines
is jet device, by means of which
sprays of cold and hot water and of
steam are successfully forced into
the can. This type is also equipped
sometimes with drying machine at
tachment by means of which draft
of dry air is forced into the can. A
mother type of the brush machins, in
which the cans are brushed out with
washing powder and water and then
rinsed. After washing they may be
steamed by spray of steam. Some
of the largest machines are fitted with
powerful pumps, the cans in an in
verted position being run through the
machine and sprays of soap and wat
er, rinse water, hot water, and steam
successfully forced into them under
considerable pressure. They are then
dried in the same machine.
The drying of the cans is an i'm
portant factor, for it not only leaves
them in a much better condition but
it tends to prevent rust. The cover
also must not be neglected. 1t is
important that it be as thoroughly
.cleansed and sterilized as the can it.
self. 1t is not good plan to put
the cover on the can until the latter
is quite dry. In the interval the can
should be kept in clean place where
there is no dust or contamination.

WORKING OF ARMLOAN
LAW Is EXPLA|NE D

AT a recent meeting of the Hepp-
ner Commercial Club, secretary
Smead was instructed to write for
further information concerning the
new Federal Farm Loan Act and BY
what method stock in this new bank
must be subscribed. Mr.. Smead
has received the following letter from
Mark Woodruff, ON behalf of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
which tells of the new law.
w. w. Smead, Secretary.
Heppner Commercial Club,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Mr.. Smead:
AS | understand it, the stock to
be subscribed in the proposed Fede-
raj Land Bank shall participate in the
earnings of the bank AS we ori-
ginally understand the proposition,
Portland and Oregon would be ex-
pected to subscribe $750,000.0O OF
the capital of this bank. We now
read in the newspapers that the
! Government intends to furnish this
money and that the sole mission of
the Board of Control which comes to
Portland September 7th is to locate
the Bank where it will serve the most
of its prospective patrons | would
fhot
tives here at that meeting. 1t will
be held In the Post Office Building at
900 o'clock on the morning of Sep
tember 7th.
Farmers avail themselves of this
Law through the organization of To-
cal Loan Associations. Ten OF more
farmers may incorporate a National
Farm Loan Association. The loans
they apply for must aggregate not
less than $20,000.00. Each indivi-
dual loan must not be less than $1,000
nor more than $1O,OOO.OO. The
loan may not exceed one-half the fair
appraised value of the borrowers
land plus one-ffth of the insured
value of his buildings.
Each member of the Farmers As
sociation agrees to purchase l share
of local Association stock at a par
value of $500 for each $4,000 bor-
rowed. His liability for debts of the
Association is limited to double the
amount of his stock or $1,000 for
each $4,000 borrowed The bor-
rower's land is not liable for the pay
ment of the loan of another mem
Der of the Association and his real
estate is not tied up in any way.
The local Association must be COM
posed only of farmers who own, live
on and cultivate their own land.
Each local Association passes on
the application of every member both
as to his character and the value of
his land. The loans may be made
for not less than five years nor more
than forty years. The rate of in
terest is 6 %. The loan may be paid
at the end of five years. if the cir
sumstanles of the borrower permit.
1t is believed that the farmers of
the Northwest will want to make
use of the borrowing system and
for their convenience in visiting the
Bank, it should be centrally located;
therefore, we think Portland is the
logical place for the Bank in the
Northwest district.
Very truly yours,
Mark Woodruff,
Assistant Secretary in charge Oregon
Development Bureau.

NORWAY PROHIBITS
LIQUOR IN ARMY

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, August 9.
A bill prohibiting all works on public
conveyances as well as soldiers and
sailors of both the fighting and mer-
chant fleets from consuming intoxi-
eating liquors during their working
hours and also six hours before they
take up their duties has been intro
duced into the Norwegian Parliament.
1t is believed that as the majority of
the legislators are in favor of prohibi.
ton the bill will become law in a
very short time and may possibly
lead to prohibition throughout the
country.
The measure provides for criminal
prosecution of offenders against its
articles, the first offense being pun
ishable by fine and repetition by
Imprisonment for maximum term
of three months and liability to dis
missal without possibility of return
to public service.
Employees on street cars, omni-
buses, taxicabs, railroads and passen-
ger boats are to be subject to the
provisions of the bill, as we'll as
soldiers and sailors, but the king has
the power to grant dispensation to
the officers and crews of warships
visiting foreign ports where they may
be entertained by the hosts or have
to give entertainment In return.
Most Of the Norwegian steamship
lines already make it condition OF
their contracts with their officers and
crews that they shall totally abstain
intoxicating liquors during their serv
