Frank Crossett couldn't stand
prosperity.
He had worked in a Seattle ship
yard as a riveter and made as high
as SO a day.
He saved up a little and then set
out to see the world.
In Chicago a smart alec woman
got all his money. Likewise he left
most of his respectability in this
Windy City.
He bummed all the way to Wash
ington. There was plenty of. money
here, he thought. (He didn't know
that Bill McAdoo had it alD.
He lost all his ambish. He could
not get up enough courage to try
for a job in Norfolk or Philly at
! his trade.
| For several weeks he was just
lodging the cops of Washington.
! Monday afternoon he fell into the
clutches of a bOOtlegger and gave
up his last dollar for some weak
whiskey.
Then he fell asleep in front of
a sign that said. Men Wanted

! the Potomac.

Frank couldn't answer. He was

The court got disgusted with him
and sent him down for sixty days.

answered the court. Besides, even
if you were married to her you would
have to right to blacken her eyes

Louis has the habits of a cave
man. He doesn't understand the

A mere promise of marriage Is
not. We think. an out-and-Out sale.

Susie Is very mad about this affair.
And it is doubtful if she will ever

before she marries him, what will
he do when they get married? That
= is how she reasons.
She can't be blamed for thinking

any other woman.
The court told Louis to shell out

Rosie turned up her nose at the

Ma, gimme q nickel quick. Here
comes the popcorn man."
Why not save that nickel toward a
thrift stamp and grow your own pop
corn in your war garden, says to-
days bulletin from the National War
Garden Commission. Popcorn grow
ing can be made a profitable fad for
the home gardener. Children who
take up popcorn culture this year as
a business, planning to market their
crop after popping it next winter, can
show a good cash profit from a small
plot Of garden ground.
A garden space 10 feet long and 20
feet wide will produce enough pop
corn to sell for so in scent packages
after 1t is popped. Popcorn Is more
than a 'confection-it is a valuable
tood-better than numerous kinds Of
breakfast food. -a.
About the time the oak trees begin
to show leaves Is the time to plant
popcorn. Rice corn, with uneven
kernels Is probably the best general
purpose popcorn. Warm, well-drained

PRACTICE OF SPRAYING
MAKES GOOD PROGRESS
Manufacturer Of spray Materials
Report Sales Three Times Normal
In Country

Corvallis. Ore. Apr. il.-Nearly
all the big spray manufacturers OF
tho country report about three times
the usual volume OF sales this year.
This means. says Prof, II. r. Barss,
OF o. A. C.. that farmers and fruit
growers throughout the nation rea-
Ike that the cheapest and most ef-
fectiye way to increase the yield on
every acre OF crops is to protect the
crops against the losses due to plant
diseases and inspects pests.
Oregon farmers are taking the
same view OF the situation as Is in
dicated by the demand not only for
spray materials but also for the lat
est directions for scientific applica-
tion OF the sprays as published In
the recent o. A. c. Extension bulle-
tins on orchard spraying. potato d.
seases, and seed treatment for GER
eals, These bulletins deal with the
subject as related to Oregon condi-
tIons and can be had upon request
OF the college at Corvallis.
The United States government
has accepted the offer OF the tech
nical schools and colleges Of the
country to place their entire plants
at the service OF the nation in. its
war crisis. to train technicians for
special military service. The edu-
cational committee Of the war de-
partment and the federal board Of
vocational education are holding a
conference on the subject in Wash
inston this week, with F. H. shep-
herd. OF o. A, G., representing the
western states,
