DECORATED TRAY.

The dainty lady was passing sand wiches to the guests who had come in to spend a social hour with her late one afternoon. The sandwiches them selves were the thin, delicious things which she loved to serve, and they were piled neatly upon flat tray, woven of pine needles. But what her guests noticed first, and exclaimed over with most delight, was the little bunch of flowers tied to the curving handle of the tray.
 Even If the sandwiches themselves had not been the delicious things they were, they would have tasted good when served so Gatntily, as one guest put it, voicing her appreciation of the flower decoration.

 The strict military suit imparts a definite air of masculinity to the wearer. This, of course, is charming for young girls or the small, slender women who always can dress like young girls regardless of the accum- ulation of years.

THE PRESS AND N. P. LEAGUE

Quite generally the country press
is either outspokenly in favor of the
Non-partisan league or non-commit-
tai. This is largely due to the fact
that unless country editors endorse
the leagues schemes the patronage
of it's members are withdrawn.
And yet, as we see it, the country
paper, if it is real friend of its sub
scribers and patrons, and medium
for expressing the opinion of sane
thinking men, must as a duty, ex-
press itself against this Bolshevik
movement in America. Assuming a
neutral attitude is comparable to
looking out the window and viewing
a neighbours house afire and making
no offer of assistance.
There can be no neutrality in war
times. Either man wants to see
the war won and that speedily, or he
doesn't. The Non-partisan league
has absorbed all the disgruntled radi-
Gals of every creed and party and is
seeking, Ostensibly, to advance the
interests of certain class Of citizens
to the disadvantage Of all others, and
thus slowing up the engines Of war.
In the case of America vs.. kaiserism,
Bolshevikism, Socialism, radicalism
and all the other isms we are first,
last and always for America.-Priest

PRISON LABOR AND THE WAR
100000 Additional War-workers
Provided by Executive Order

On September 18 the president is
sued the following executive order
authorizing the use Of prison labor
on war work:
Whereas, the present emergency
has created a demand for supplies
which cannot wholly be procured or
supplied by privately owned or con-
Quoted factories not employing
prison labor, 1t is ordered that the
agents for the departments or bur-
eaus charged with the buying of war
or government supplies are, for the
period Of the war, empowered, in adj
diti0n to any method Of purchase Of
procurement now authorized, to
place an order for such supplies with
the superintendent or other head of
any penal institution where persons
are confined by any state, county or
municipal authority, willing to I'M
dertake the manufacture, production
and delivery of such supplies.
provided that the compensation
to be paid for such supplies shall, so
far as possible, be the prevailing
price for like commodities in the
vicinity of the institution furnishing
them. Compensation and hours of
labor for inmates Of any institution
above specified working upon such
supplies, shall be based upon the
standard hours and wages prevailing
in the vicinity in which the institu-
ton is located. The pro rata cost

F. T. CARLSON WRITES
OF OREGON CONDITIONS

A letter was received at the Re
publican Office last week from F. T.
Carlson, who is now in Tillamook,
Oregon, telling of the productive
land which is now selling for $500
to 5000 per acre. Everyone in that
locality is making a comfortable
living, and high prices are paid for
all produce. The value of the land
has greatly increased, due to the
fact that they have splendid roads.
The, roads are all cemented, which
lessons the expence of transportation,
and adds a touch of beauty to the
country.
Enclosed in the letter was piece
of sea moss, which is gathered in
great abundance on the tide land.
Mr.. Carlson states that this is twenty
times more absorbant than cotton,
and is used in the hospitals In
France. The government is ordering
this moss in great quantities.

Ford Hassing is the man who sug-
gested dropping the name of Taylor
street and making it what it ought to
be-Broadway. He brought the idea
to the attention of men who know a
good thing when they see it, and it
was done. When it was put up to
the city council they acted promtly,
and when the county commissioners
were asked to extend Broadway
straight thru to the state highway
on the south and cut out all the
maize of truns that puzzle home peo-
pie and bewilder strangers, they re-
cognized the merits of the suggestion
and acted promtly. They got the
new road thru while the getting was
gOod-while land values were low
and before there were buildings and
permanent improvements in the way
to be removed at great expense. All
they had to do was to alter some
fences and move few trees that
needed to be worked up. into fuel
anyway, and they were ready to make
the new grade that runs long and
straight with shade trees on each
side.
People who originate good ideas
in mechanics and build something
new and good are rewardd with pat
emit rights and bonuses, and when
our old town realizes the value of
good ideas and shows appreciation of
them, perhaps more people will crank
their originators and get to turning
out ideas worth while. Usually, the
suggestions of ideas that are really
good and great, are laughed at and
smothered for while and then are
brought forth second time and
adopted. b.

SWEET POTATO LOSS
CAN Be CHECKED
Proper Handling and Storage of the
Crop Will Result in Success.

Greater care should be given to
handling and storing the sweet pota-
to crop for the winter markets, ac-
cording to G. e. Brehm, marketing
specialist Of the division of agricul-
tural extension, University Tennes-
see. Annually large percentages #
the crop is lost due to rough hand
ling and ilnprt FER storage.
Sweet potatoes should be thorough.
ly rice before digging. The grower
can determine if his potatoes are ripe
by cutting one in half and exposing
the cut surface to the air for few
minutes. If the cut surface dries
readily, the potato is mature and ia
ready to dig. In case of danger from
frost, dig at once, regardless Of the
stage Of maturity.
After digging, the potatoes should
be stored into eating stock, seed, and
strings; each handled separately.
Careful handling is essential for
storing witha minimum loss. Bruising
or breaking the skin with the finger
nails is responsible for large amount
Of the loss in storage. If the haul
from the field to the storage house
is very long, a spring wagon should
be used. In no case should sweet po-
tatoes be loaded in sacks, or loaded
loosely in the bed Of a wagon. Crate
should be used.
When storing sweet potatoes for
commercial purposes a specially con-
structed storage house should be pro-
vided. Immediately after digging,
the crop should be put in storage and
light firing should begin. When the
entire crop is in the house, the inte-
rior should be heated re tempera-
ture of from So to 80 degrees for ten
days, or until the potato shows signs
of sprouting slightly, after which the
temperature should be reduced to SO
degrees and held there as uniformly
as possible during the rest of the
winter.
Home storage Of smaller quantities
can be handled in a number Of ways,
but no bruised potatoes should 60
into any kind of storage.

JOHN RODINSONrS
SHOW IS COMING

There is circus atmosphere in
Paris today and it is all due to
bright red combination passenger
coach, brightly painted and uanspic-
uously lettered, that arrived in town
last night and was shunted onea- =
ing over near the L. & NJ, depot.
The John Robinson scireus is consqg
to town shortly. The advance press
agent is here and SO is the brigade of
twenty-one expert bill posters, ban
nermen and program boys, all of
whom, during the next few days, will
just literally FLUID Paris and vicinity
with the attractive billing matter
that heralds the coming visit Of THE
big white top" amusement outfit.
The exact date on which the circus
is to appear here Friday September
9th and on that day all roads which
the average small boy and little Miss,
and the amusement seeking grown
ups as well will traverse, will termi-
nal where the circus tents will be
pitched.
Judging from the favorable tone of
the notices that have preceded the
John Robinson Circus coming to
Paris, appears likely to be very well
entertained when they arrive here.
In the newspapers of Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Portland and other
coast Giles and towns where the cir
Gus has showed. The review COM
ments have been very complimentary.
The features in the main tent are
said to be numei Gus and highclass,
while the same credit is given the at
fractions in the big side show.
The menagerie of the Robinson
shows has always been up to a high
standard and the same may be said
of the monster free street parade,
which is promised Paris folks, imme-
diately after the arrival and unload
ing of the five big special trains.
