Assaulted Officer
When Arrested

Some time ago rUmor was heard
here to the effect that someone in the
vicinity of Green was boarding
flour, Sheriff Quine, with his Gus
tomary promptness, set about investi-
eating the matter. He, together with
W. A. Glover a member of the secret
service of Oregon, called upon this
man, |. H. Castle, ,swho lives not far
from Green, upon the main highway
to inquire into the matter. Castle me-
them with the manner in which it is
said he is wont to accord to all solic.
!tors for the Red Cross and war saw
ings stamps; that is to say, he was de-
cidcdly hostile.
lie ragged and fumed, telling the Of
ficers they might search the premises
if they thought fit A search was in
stigated and 500 pounds of whole
wheat flour was found. II was sus-
picioned that much more had been
secreted some place about the prem
ises, Castle continued to radiate his
wrath. Ee damned the government
of the United States and all It's offic-
crs. He is alleged to have declared;
'"ro hell with the government of thu
United States, and to hell with its Of
iicers; they have no power over me
He finally worked himself into
such fit of anger that he apparent
" lost all reason, and struck Sheriff
Qu.ne. Mr. Quine was acting under
the orders of the state officer at thas
time, or things might have been
brought to q different finish right
then and there. Sheriff Quine had
great difficulty in restraining him
self, but realizing that nothing could
he done with the man at that time,
they decided to let the matter rest
until 1t could be taken up with the
federal officers. They felt that such
n man was menace to the country
ard should he dealt with according
". Sheriff Quine had already had
great deal of difficulty with this
same man over road proposition.
Deputy Marshals e. T. Mass and
+, d. Tichenor arrived from Portland
last week, and they, together with the
sheriff, arrested Castle and brought
him TO this city. He came peacefully
enough and seemed to have lost the
greater part Of his hostility. He was
lodged in the city Jail pending his
hearing before U. S. Commissioner
Riddle.
Castle waived the preliminary
hearing, stating that he could not get
Justice here. His bond was fixed at
$1,000 He was taken to Portland in
custody of the two deputy marshals
from that city, where he will be given
u hearing before the U. S. grand jury
The penalty for this offense is very
sove~e, reaching maximum fine of
$500. and perhaps Imprisonment. -

An Intrepid Spirit
OyeYCOmeS F'YailitieS

Mrs. Caldwell and daughter, Mrs.
Julia Hockett, Of Bush street, are
entertaining as their house guest
Mrs. Louise 3. Wardner, Of Hollis
ter, Cal, who is an aunt Of the form
er and grand aunt of the latter. Mrs.
Wardner Is 4 shining example of
Hhat persistence can do to overcome
difficulties, even those incident to
advanced years. a few years ago
Mrs. Wardnor broke her hip and was
compelled to walk with crutches for
some time. Even now she walks with
the aid of one crutch. Her eyeslght
has also failed her and she can sec
hut very little.
Despite these inflrmities and the
fact that she has passed her seth,
birthday, Mrs. Wardner is one Of the
most indefatgable Red Cross work
ers in her home city. With the aid
cf an electric wheeled chair she Is
able to attend the Red Cross meet
ings and all the functions given for
the benefit of this organization, and
the work her nimble fingers turns
ont is no small item. Recently she
completed a crocheted bed spread
which sold for the Red Cross in Hol-
lister for S1OG. Immediately after
its completion she started another
on which she is now engaged and
which she will sell for the Belgian
Relief fund. These spreads reprse-
sent an immense amount of work,
and are truly marvel of accuracy
and skill.
Since losing her eyesight, Mrs.
Vardner has sadly missed the pleas
drc of reading. so six months ago
she undertook to learn to read By
the touch method of the blind. Az
ready she has mastered the system
and is able to read words and short
sentences. Her interests in presen.
day events are as keen as ever.
During the War of the Rebellion,
her husband, Dr. Wardner, was a hos
pital surgeon as we'll as soldiers
in the field, and Mrs. Wardner en-
listed as a volunteer nurse and serv.
ed also during the war. 1t is only
the infirmltes of the flesh that keep
this intrepid spirit today from en-
listing her services in the presen.
war work, as the weight of years
mean nothing to her.

Farmers Raise Beans
In Evans Creek Valley

Evans creek valley farmers are
solving the problem of how to get
rich. First, they install an irrlga-
ton system-and they they plant the
beans About 400 acres of beans in
that valley this year promise great
results, Notwithstanding the low
temperature the first month of the
growing season. OF course, no at
tempt is made to produce beans or
any other staple crop in quantities
on unirrigated lands.
Last year the yield per acre was
about $3.50. The price Is higher this
year and the yield will be about the
same. The bean fields of that val
ley resemble the great fortune-mak-

Governor Asked TO
Prohibit Hunting

Giving as reasons that fire conds-
tIons in the forests are extremely
hazardous, and that every available
man is needed for war industries and
for harvesting the crops, timber
owners and lumber operators OF
Portland asked Governor Witty
combe to suspend the hunting season
until climatic conditions make dis
astrous fires impossible. The season
opens August Is.
Besides the Western Pine associa-
tlon, T. X. Gamble, representing the
Shevlin-Hixon timber holdings, the
Oregon Lumber company, and Dant
& Russell, have telegraphed the gov
ernor urging him to suspend the
season. A delegation has asked the
state forestry board to petition the
governor to suspend the hunting sea-
son.
II have talked to a great many op-
orators recently with respect to the
question as to whether there should
he an open or closed hunting season
this year, and find they are practl-
cally unanimous in the opinion there
should be no open season, at least,
that 1t ought to Je Kept closed until
such time as climatic conditions
make forest fires impossible, and Il,
this opinion | concur most heartily"
said c. T. Early, who represents the
Ecces timber interests.
THE argument has been used that
the timber operators themselves have
in the past been responsible for n
Great many forest fires" he continu-
ed. 81 think this is true, but one
must consider that 1t is absolutely
necessary for operators to use dom
key engines, locomotives and other
steam driven machinery, and try as
enc may, it is impossible to operate
these machines and eliminate the fire
risk entirely.
"a short time ago | was talking
with one of the fire wardens, and he
said that about three days after the
hunters enter into the woods his
troubles began, and surely the opin-
'on Of a man of so wide an eXperi7
ence in forest fires should have some
weight
az cannot believe that Goyerno:
Withycombe, who has such q splen-
did war record, will entertain seri-
ously an open hunting oeason thi,
year when It will involve the assump.
tion of a risk that we cannct afforS
TO take"
Governor Withycombe last yao-
suspended the hunting season until
rain made the forests safe from dan
gerous fires and conditions from all
viewpoints are even more grave this
year than last.

armed with machine guns, to hold 1t

That is the United States army of

of determination of the cattle fever
tick. As a result this years cam
paign, 900 more square miles of
territory will be freed from the tick
and an almost incalculable quantity
of meat and milk added to the nation
al production. The campaign needs,
of course, the cooperation of every
person who owns cattle in infested
territory. There are left only a very
few men who try to hold out against
differentiation methods, and those
few are rapidly realizing that they
are "slackers" and enemies to their
country in a time of unprecedented
stress and peril.

II you are going to put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use-as,
of course, you are, It being both pa
triotic and personal duty-you Will
need to exercise considerable care
that only good eggs are put in the
waterglass or limewater container.
One bad egg is likely to destroy sew
eral others. BY consistently gather
ing the eggs when they are fresh,
most of the danger of storing bad
eggs is avoided, but since it is neces-
sary to hold the eggs until a sufficient
number Is accumulated to fill the con-
tainer, and since some eggs are i'm
perfect when they are laid. Gambling,
where IL can be done without too
much trouble and delay, might well
be practiced. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has just is
sued a bulletin on "How to Candle
Eggs" The text is brief and direct
and is illustrated with colored plates
showing the way in which an egg
should appear before the candle, to-
gether with the various ways 1t
should not appear. The bulletin was
written by DR.. NJ +. Pennington, chief
of the food research laboratory. as
sisted by NJ. X. Jenkins. bacteriolOgist,
and II. NJ. p. Belts. artist. 1t should
be OF great use. not only to persons
putting away eggs for home use. but,
as we'll. for all those who desire to
establish or maintain a reputation for
delivering eggs in perfect condition.

Only I Egg In 100 Damages.

An eggshell is not quite the most
fragile thing in the world-workers
in laboratories know of few things
more fragile-but 1t is the most
fragile thing with which the average
individual has to deal. To transport
hundred eggs distance of 1,2OO
miles in freight car and to have the
shells of 90 of them perfectly intact
at the end of the journey is something
of an achievement. Yet the United
States Department of Agriculture has
done a little better than that. In n
series of tests. covering a period of
two years. in which the average haul
was 1900 miles. the total damage,
including Checks" dents" and
@leakers," was Tess than l per cent.
II shippers of eggs in carload or
less than carload lots will study and
apply the methods of the Department
of Agriculture in packing and hauling
eggs. a long step will be taken toward
conserving the food supply.
