Scorpio.


Scorpio is a constellation and the
eighth sign Of the zodiac. The con-
stellation is conspicuous in early sum-
mer in the skies Of the southern Unit
ed States, where the whole Of the mag
nificent tail clears the horizon. With
the Chaldeans and Greeks it extended
over one-sixth Of the planetary circle,
the Scorpion being represented with
exaggerated claws embracing q circu-
lar space where Libra is now placed.
From this irregularity it may he In
ferred that the constellation is older
than. the zodiac, which was formed be-
fore 1000 B. G. Libra, though later, is
of no small antiquity, since it appears
in the Egyptian zodiacs. Its adoption
by julius Caesar in his calendar made
It familiar. Ptolemy, however, though
living in Egypt nearly two centuries
later, follows Babylonian and Greek
astronomers in covering the place Of
Libra with the Scorpions claws.

SPOT ON NAPoLEoN's RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory Of
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes in the Field.

VI The military genius of Bonaparte is
still fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part of his career he achieved
such successes as made his name a
terror to Europe, and gained for him
a prestige which "a series of continu-
GUS and overwhelming defeats in the
latter part of his history was unable
to destroy. But in the game of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
and the victories of Marengo, Austen
litz and Wagram can scarcely be adj
mitted in compensation for the blum
ders Of the Russian campaign and the
overthrow at Waterloo 9.ses
One qualification Of great general
was conspicuous in his character, the
capacity of recognizing and rewarding
merit In whatever position 1T might be
found. FavOritism was almost sun-
known in his army. He was OF cold
b1ooded temperament, engrossed ex-
clusively by the master-passion, ambf-
tion,, and the very cause which kept
his moral purity inviolate made him
almost insensible to the promptings Of
love and affection.

BENTON SECOND in
CORN PRODUCTION
This County Ranks Next to Yak
ina i'm Number of Bushels
Walla Walla is Third

This year, as last, Benton county
ranks second among the counties OF
the state in the production of corr.
Yakima leads and Walla Walla is
third. Statistics compiled by E. L.
Marchetti,, government field agent,
gives the states corn production as l.
634, 900 bushels. Of this Yakima pro-
duced 100000 bushels, Benton $4,000
bushels and Walla Walla county i00,-
500. Fifteen westside counties pro
duced no corn.
Mr.. Marhctti's summary of crop
conditions on November follows:
Corn-The season has been unusual
IL favorable for corn production. The
irrigated crop, located principally in
the Yakima valley, produced excellent
yields. Dry land corn, adversely af-
fected early in the growing season by
dreughty climatic conditions, was subs
sequently benefited by favorable rain
and yields generally are above the av-
erage. The late advent of killing frost
permitted practically the entire crop
to mature without injury, resulting in
the production of a good quality of
corn. The construction of additional
silos in all parts of the state has ma
terially Increased the acreage of en-
silage corn.
Grain Weights-Due to the adverse
weather conditions during the growing
season the average weights per meas
ured bushel of wheat, oats, and barley
are below average, excepting winter
wheat in local areas OF the Palousc
and Walla Walla counties.
Potatoes-The growing season has
been generally unfavorable for large
potato yields. Irrigated fields thru
out the Yakima and Kittitas valleys
have produced below normal stands.
Blight damage has been severe in
these valleys. The dry land crop in
both east and west side counties was
adversely affected by lack of suf-
ficient moisture. early in the season.
causing a light. filling of the hills.
Occasional yields in limited areas are
normal, but the greater number of
fields have produced lower than aver
age yields, and owing to unfavorahle
climatic conditions potatoes are gem

WHERE TAXES ARE UNKNOWN
Some Few Places on Earth's Surface
That Would Seem Ideal Spots
In Which to Locate.

In these days of expensive living
what boon to live in city without
taxes! But there are such places.
There is OrsOn in Sweden. This
municipality has its ordinary city ex-
penses, but it imposes no taxes. More
over, the local railway is free to every
citizen and there is no charge for tele-
phone service, schools, Libraries and
the like.
All this is due to the wisdom of a
former generation, who planted trees
on all the available ground, with the
result that during the past thirty
years the town authorities have sold
$5,OOO,OO0 worth of young trees and
timber, while judicious replantings
have provided for similar income in
the future.
Then there is Mourmalon, in the
Midi, France. Here not only are there
no taxes, but the timbers on the conn
munal lands are sufficient to grant
each person a small annuity.
Nearer home We have the island of
Innishmurray, off the west coast of
Ireland. Here there are no taxes, sim
ply because the fourteen families who
live on the island resolutely refuse to
pay. In a report to the local govern
ment board a rate collector stated that
he could not get boat on the main
land to take him, to the island on such
an errand as collecting rates.-London

Teeumseh,s Bones unearthed.

A discovery recalling early Canad.
Ian history has been made at farm
I'm the village of Thamesville, Ont,
where bones were dug up which may
be those Of the Indian Chief Tecum-
sch, who fell fighting for the British
in 1878. With the skeleton were metal
military buttons and a pistol of the
type then used. There are most trust
worthy reports that the chief had been
buried close to this place.
Tecumseh, Shawnee chief, fought
with the British during the invasion Of
Canada by the Americans in 1872 and
1913. A man of great energy and de-
cision, he was entrusted with many
minor enterprises, and was finally
killed in battle, when his body was
treated with great indignity.

eralIy under average in size. The late
crop, however, is producing consider
ably better yields than the early plant
ed acreage, having been benefited by
late summer and fall showers, favor
able growing weather, and no inJur-
ious killing frosts. I'll. ..--
Apples-Many varieties of apples
produced lighter bloom than last
year. This condition, together with
frost damage in local areas, caused a
decreased production from that of a
year ago for the state. Late worm
damage has been severe, but the unus-
ual size of unaffected apples in irrigat-
ed sections will offset to consid-
erablc degree the decreased production
on account of worm damage. The con-
mercial crop for the state is estimated
at IL, 03S,760 boxes, compared to 49,
100000 boxes last year. The crop for
the state is 7196 of a full crop.
Field Peas-Lack of precipitation
caused reduction in yields generally
turnout the field pea producing Sec
tions. The acreageyof the state, how
ever, has been materially increased
over that of last year.
Pears-Altho late spring frosts cur
tailed pear production in some areas
the size of the fruit is generally bet
ter than average, offsetting to some
extent the loss caused by frost dam
age. The quality is good in practically
eli districts. ~
Sugar Beets-F Failure to produce a
normal stand of sugar beets this year
viii result in decrease in yield per
acre from the yield of a year ago.
t;eneral-Favorable fall rains, the
first in three years, stimulated con-
siderable fall wheat seeding in the
northern, northeastern, eastern and
southeastern counties. Turnout the
Big Bend counties the rains early in
the season were too light, to encour-
age general seeding, altho a larger
than average acreage was sown. Re-
cent rains, if no freeze-up occurs in
the next ten days, will insure favor
able stand in these counties. In the
normally fall wheat, Palouse, Walla
Walla and adjacent counties, the IA
vorable open fall has caused excel
lent fall wheat growth. Thes short
oat and barley crops and lack of suf-
icient grain hay due to the short
straw growth, have caused crisis
in the livestock industry in many parts
of the state.

Hurry and Health.

Don't hurry. 1t wears the system
like worry. 1t is especially harmful
in hot weather.
Hurry tears out the nerves and the
body tissues rapidly, puts lines in the
face, interferes with digestion and 9TH
er intestinal action, and in time may
produce permanent palpitation Of the
heart.
Loss of both physical and mental
control and number of varieties OF
nervous disorders may also result from
chronic "hurrying up"
Hurry exhausts twice the energies in
a given time that would be required
to accomplish twice the work If under
taken in leisurely manner.
