Letter From Harold Thomas

Harold and Walter Thomas are
now on board the U. S. battleship,
St. Louis where Walter is leader of
the Marine band and Harold plays
the flute. Following is part of a
letter written by Harold to his Sis
ter, Elsie:
Sept. S, 1917.
l am writing this letter on the
battle Cruiser, St. Louis. I'm not
allowed to tell where we are, where
we are going or anything of the
sort, enough to know that both
Walt and l are we'll and having a
good time.
Went to shore and bought a piccalo
yesterday. 1t was a Ritershausen
and a dandy instrument. Got it
very reasonable too.
We had dandy trip over, stop.
ing at Chicago and Buffalo.
My music rack, and a vest pocket
kodak or little bit of toilet arti
cles wouldn't come in bad and
you may send them all three if yor
so desire. l also need a fountain
pen. a new flute, a washing ma
chine. a lunch counter and money
To-day is pay day but l dom
know whether l get anything o.
not.
Well Sis I'll have to break off
Give the other kids my address ant
tell them to write. Harold.
Address U. S. S. St. Louis, car
of Postmaster, New York.
P. S. That doesn't mean we'r
in New York.

Hoover Expresses Opinion

Washington, In anticipation of
visit of delegations this week from
Washington and Oregon to call on
the president in opposition to the
wheat price base at Chicago for
northwest wheat, Herbert Hoover
still maintains firm opposition to
making any change in his memoran-
dun sent to Senator Pointdexter.
He says: During the whole of
the past year and apparently for
some time to come the cost of ocean
freight from Pacific northwest ports
on wheat to Liverpool is higher
than the cost of shipping the same
wheat from these points by, rail to
the Atlantic seaboard and therefore
the Pacific coast must come directly
into competition with the wheat in
the Mississippi valley,
eff the president had fixed Port
land as base market as we'll as
Chicago. and had placed them on an
equivalent basis, the northwest
wheat would flow into Portland and
would then have to be reshipped
back to the Mississippi valley with
an accumulation of freight charges
which would make it some so cents
bushel higher than the Mississippi
valley wheat.
"In such case either the govern
ment must take loss of so cents
per bushel or the consumers must
pay so cents per bushel more for
the northwestern wheat than for
Mississippi valley wheat. 1t would
be utterly impossible for a miller
purchasing wheat at this increased
price to compete with other millers
buying Mississippi valley wheat or
the lower level. The basis of price
and method of differentials for gov.
ernment purchases were determined
by the committee appointed by the
president and unanimously agreed
to by them.
| CAN the national farmers as
sociations were represented upol
the committee and the northwestern
situation was fully considered b.
them. 1t does not rest with tn
food administration to alter tn
findings of the presidential com
mittee."

Fourteen Years Ago

The clearing up of the weather
has cleared away the lines of anxiety
from many a face and everything
points again to the saving of the
entire harvest and the consequent
prosperity which we have prophesied
all along.
M. j. Vessels left for Boise, Mon
dav in the interest Of the agri-
cultural and horticultural exhibit
he is preparing for the St. Louis
exposition. Mr.. Vessels is verv
enthusiastic over the prospects of
making this the finest exhibit in
this line that has yet been made.
He intends to give an equal chance
to every part of the state and no
section will be favored above an
other.
A short visit to the mill showed
it to be regular hive of industry.
Every wheel was turning and every
man busy as beavers. 1t is only
being run through the day as yet
but in week or two will run day
and night. A carload of flour was
shipped to the Sound the other day
which will be followed by other:
shortly.
Capt. j. F. Carlton has bought
the residence of Frank Crocker or
East Main street. Mr.. Crocker will
move to Everett in few weeks.
w. C. McGrew let several of hi.
clerks go last Saturday owing tt
the gloomy weather which threaten
ed much damage to the crops. Tht
most Of them however have return
ed to work this week, since tn,
weather cleared up and this bust
ness house bids fair to have it
most successful year.
WE. Kerr received a consign
ment of three dozen mail boxes thi

These boxes are furnished by tn

Do you know about the new sys-
TEN Of supporting fences? The old
method OF placing heavy, rigid posts
every few feet has been demonstrated
to be wrong In principle. The new
system Of supporting fences Is to make
them on the principle Of a fiddle string.
You know, a fiddle string is fastened
at each end, says Farm Machinery.
Anything that hits 1t at any point pro-
duces stresses In the string, that are
transmitted to the terminals. The
new fences are built In the same way.
Two solid terminals are built, 40 rods
apart. Between these the wire Is
stretched tightly. but 1t will sag be-
cause the distance between terminals
is SO long. SO 1t is held up from the
ground by thin. flexible steel supports
that r anchored IS inches below the
surface Of the ground. with these
bow-string fences, when a sudden
shock comes on the fencing wire, such.
for example, as a bull charging the
fence, the flexible supports bend In an
even curve from their point Of anchor
age. their knifelike edges cutting the
ground and cushioning against the
earth. The fencing wire acts exactly
as though the flexible supports were
not there, In taking care of the shock.
1t is transmitted directly to the end
terminals, which are made amply
strong to resist them.

Probably the reason for examining
new reading matter-and reading 1t
too-backward, is to be found In this :
There Is so much being offered
nowadays In the way of stories and
articles on a thousand and one SUBJ
jects that the man who values his
time cannot be lnveigled into giving
them all a careful perusal. So, In
self-protection, to avoid being left
on anything Of real Importance, he

the author has a message he be-
gins at the beginning and reads
through. Your critical reader knows
that many a prolific word purveyor
and there are some who are just
that-takes a few hundred words to
get into his subject, that there is a
certain amount of lost time In al
most every lengthy magazine story.
The message is oftenest toward the

WASTE OF FOODS.

II would be a good thing for people
Of this favored land to take an in
yentory Of what goes into the gar
bage can, according to the American
Bankers association, which In a talk
on thrift bewails the waste Of food. 1t
charges that a good many people play
with their dinner, sending choice cuts
of meat and fowl back to the kitchen
and from there, presumably, to the
garbage. There is cited the expert
enc Of a large country hotel, which
a few years ago lost a herd Of 800
hogs from feeding "swell swill," good
food too rich for their systems. Con-
clusively, 1t quotes DR.. Harvey W..
Wiley, who seems to have estimated
that the annual waste of food In this
country is 1900 900, 000-a rather
large figure even for one SO expert In
chalking down large figures as is Doc
tor Wiley. That this is a pretty waste
full country cannot perhaps be refuted.
unless the attitude of some economists
is accepted and 1t is argued that waste
Ia normal. since nature herself is amaz-
ibgly wasteful. Families that have
a cherry tree in the back yard have
observes that the %uncultured robin is
a wasteful child of nature, eating an
eighth Of a cherry and then passing to

PROFESSION OF SALESMAN.


One Of the most significant OF actlv-

for long years a figure in story and
song. He has been In some degree an
Impulse; In larger degree a growth.

fairs In the matter Of selling, says
Pittsburgh Dispatch. The travelling
salesman, with a personality which APP
peals and %inslnuates, revolutionlzlng
at enormous expense older methods.
With all this craftsmanship has never
been reduced to the condition Of an
exact science. The Carnegie Technical
Institute some time ago took this vital
question In hand, and Professor Ham,
merschlag, as reported specially for
the Dispatch, ut the national conyen-
ton of Life Underwriters, assembling
at st. Louis recently, emphasized this
