A Bit of Human Nature.

The other day a husky and rather
rough looking driver was aring trou-
BILE with his horse and, suddenly losing
his temper, started to beat him. A
number of men rushed toward him
with the intention of stopping him
when his arms were suddenly arrested
in midair. The would be rescuers
paused, too, and looked. Standing
close by the man was little girl, Of
not more than four years-just looking
looking. Not word was spoken, no
pen could describe the lock on the lit
tie ones face, but the heavy driver
stopped his beating and spoke kindly
to his horse. Strangely, too, the horse
moved, and there was no trace of the
incident except flush underneath the
drivers tan, few damp eyes among
the spectators and happy smile on
the little girls face. - Philadelphia

MACHINERY WEEK
TO Be OBSERVED

County Agricultural Agent M. S.
Shrock who was in the city Thursday
Of last week. when he attended meet
ing of the farmers in the Commercial
Association rooms. is taking active in
terest in the Repair Week movement,
and writes the Press as follows:
"Next week is repair week. Every
farmer is urged by the Government to
see that harvesting and threshing ma
chinery is put in proper repair so that
no time need be lost when harvest is
upon us. This is one of..the very best
and surest ways by which farmers can
help themselves in partially solving
the labor problem. DO it now is an
excellent motto to adopt in this con-
nection.
"There are two reasons why this
early repairing is important. First,
the extras that have to be ordered
from the factory may, due to war con-
ditions, be long time coming. Sec
ond, no farmer can afford to lie under
meath combine skinning his knuckles
with a monkey wrench, sweating blood
and thinking silent profanity, when
harvest is crowding. Do it now.
"On the smaller farms definite ar
rangements should now be made with
the neighbors for an exchange of help
at harvest time. This plan is not feas-
ible on the large farms, but they will
be benefited by the release of labor as
result of such exchange on the
small farms. M. S. Shrock,
County Agricultural Agent"

good one that happened to him at
Oakland Mole. When the train drew
up to the ferry slip, fellow yelled
"You'll have to hurry to get the boat

nell past him through door and Milt
with others found himself in large
compartment, where many people were
sitting around. Stepping up to an
official looking parsonage, Milt very
politely inquired: where is the boat
we're to take across the bay?" "Why,
you damn fool, you're on the boat and
half way across now," was the reply.
"And say--you can't take this boat;
the boat takes you. See?"

Raw Eggs Keep Longer Than Boiled.

Raw eggs keep good much longer
than cooked eggs. even when these are
hard boiled This was proved by DR..
Leon Lindet, member of the Paris
Conseil dHygicne. after many French
soldiers had reported that the hard
boiled eggs they received from home
had gone bad, while the raw eggs re-
mained edible for weeks.
DIR. Lindet explains this fact by say
ing that the boiling makes the inner
membrane peryious to gases, liquids
and microbes, and the white Of the egg
becomes an agglomeration OF coagu-
lated albumen and particles of serum
that is an ideal medium in which mi.
crobes thrive.

come tax returns has been extended
from March l to April l. This applies
to the returns of individuals as we'll as
corporations. the impression having
prevailed that the extension of time
applied only to corporations. While it
is desirable, says Mr.. Miller, that re-
turns be made as soon as possible, the
extension of time may be taken advan-
tage of by those who are unable to
make returns on account of not having
received their blanks promptly.

HEALTH AND HOUSE SCREENS
Gro Effective Way to FoiI'the Flies and
Mosquitoes.

sWNo1StsSSSs
II Is a duty to protect the health Of
the home and to fight any peril that
may menace It. You may have doubts
or become discouraged when 1t comes
to cleaning up and keeping so clean
that you won't have flies, or when you
try to keep them down by poisoning
or trapping, but there's one means Of
protecting yourself against flies that is
safe and effective. This is thorough
screening. Doors, windows and porch
es, upstairs and downstairs, should be
thoroughly screened in summer for the
comfort of the home and the health of
the family. Mosquitoes are health
menace as well as flies, and thorough
screening protects against both.
A few years ago screening was con-
sidered almost as Ineffective as a
means of protecting against flies as
poisoning, disinfecting and few fee.
BILE efforts at cleaning up. None of
these methods prohibited flies. They
apparently continued to come in their
usual large number. But the trouble
was we did not know how to properly
use screens. Then only the kitchen
and dining room doors and windows
were screened, while the doors and
windows of the other part of the house
were left unprotected.
Later we found that not only all the
openings to the house must have
screens In them, but that they must
fit and be made SO fly tight that no fly
could enter This was found more ef-
fective. But not until the porches were
screened, particularly the back porch,
where most of the food was handled,
did we come to know the real safety
and comfort that lay behind screened
doors, windows and porches. .-Ex-

Absolute parity OF Northwestern
wheat markets with Chicago and a
basic price of 1920 for the 1918 crop
by virtue of the water rate announced
by the United States Shipping Board
was confidently asserted by c. W. Mel
son of Seattle, upon his arrival in
Portland from Washington, D. c.,
where he was member of the Farm
ers' Union delegation from Northwest
ern states in conference with the Fed
eral Food Administration and the
Shipping Board.
"The price in Northwestern markets
will be absolutely identical with the
price at Chicago, or 50. 20, for the 1918
CROP" declared Mr.. Nelson, who is
general manager of the Tri-State Ter
minal Company, a farmers union en-
terprise at Seattle.
Mr.. Nelson, who left Washington on
Thursday of last week, at the conclu-
sion of fortnight's conference be-
tween the farmers delegation. Food
Administrator Hoover and officials of
the Shipping Board, waves aside all
rumors of misunderstanding or dis
agreement, and states that harmony
and Willingness to serve the interests
of Northwestern wheatgrowers marked
the entire proceedings at the successful
conclusion of which the delegates de-
parted.
Concerning the seeming discrepancy
between the basic price of az 05 named
for Portland and Seattle in President
Wilson's recent proclamation and the
low water rate pledged by the Shipping
Board, which would automatically raise
the rate to parity price with Chi
cago, Mr.. Nelson stated that it is un-
derstood that the $2.05 price is to ap-
ply to the remainder of the 1917 crop
only, and that the SO. 20 price is to be
fully effective for the 1918 crop.
"The situation is that the President
refuses to interfere with the wheat
price at present" explained Mr.. Mel
son. at can readily be seen that If
he announced a higher price at this
time, wheat now in storage would be
held for that price.
"Such action would embarass the
Administration in its promise of fooc
to the allies and tend to hamper the
successful prosecution of the war. The
allies have got to have our wheat fol
food and we must have it ourselves
without delay.
"It is thoroughly settled, as the re-
suit of our delegations conferences
with the food administration and the
Shipping Board, that the 1918 crop Of
the Northwest is to be on an absolute
parity with the price established in
Chicago. through the medium of the
water rate.
1.-THE old rate of 2.05. named in the
Presidents proclamation applies or
the 1917 crop. We granted that it
was eminently fair that the remainder
of the 1917 crop should be moved al
that figure. The Food Administration
will endeavor to move all this wheat
without delay, which is not such tasl
as it might seem, as l do not believe
that more than 3 per cent of our ole
crop is on hand. The percentage re
naming in the Middle West is greater
about per l5 cent, believe"

A Foot of Snow.

Dick English was down from his
mountain ranch Monday and reported
a foot of snow at his place. While
the fall of snow is not SO heavy as
usual, Mr.. English expects a plentiful
supply of water in the mountains the
coming summer, as the snow is drifted
deep in the canyons. Owing to this
fact. the snow banks will be slow in
disappearing this spring, thus holding
back supply of water for stock dur
ing the summer months.
