Mr.. Frazier.
Sure, the man replied. and he left

For six weeks the teamster did his

THE FIRST MINING
CLAIM IS FILED

Will the region around the north base
of Mount Hood ever be known for the
productivity of its mines of precious
metals? Four men, who have just made
the first filing on mining claim here,
think so. The men filing have desig-
mated their business association as the
Bald Butte Mining Co. They are W.,
7. j. and W. A. Moody and W. A.
Logue.
w. Moody, it is said. has discovered
the veins of silver and goldbearing ore
after years of prospecting. Mr.. Logue,
veteran printer. who says he was
raised in the mining business. having
come here from Butte. is of the opin.
ion that the mine will produce startling
returns when properly worked.

While complaints have come from
railway administration inspectors here
that independent shippers are routing
out apples badly damaged by frost,
Walter Woolpert. of Dan Wuille Il Co..

rigid inspection to prevent shipment of
damaged apples.
"As soon as the damage from frost
became apparent" says Mr.. Woolpert,

THE WET FINGER HABIT

Have they the wet finger habit in
your shop or household?
For instance certain little bak-
cry is clean, the girls wear spotless
dresses, their hands and faces are i'm
maculate, the baked stuff is carefully
protected under glass show cases, but
every time one Of those girls starts
to wrap up a loaf of bread or a doz-
en- fried cakes, she vets her finger and
thumb in her mouth to make it easier
to pick up the wrapping paper! The
corner of the paper which has receiv-
ed this purely personal touch may or
may not rest directly against the
bread. That is as fate wills.
The same thing happens often at
the grocery and meat market, nor are
the food purveyors the only ones
guilty ofsthis most unpleasant and un-
sanitary habit. The bundle clerk at
the dry goods store may have the
red flannel rag around her neck, pro-
claiming a sore throat; but she, too,
would not think Of grudgi2g a few
germs to any customer, and so the
tonsilitis spreads, and no one knows
Why.
Or it may be the child in school
who vets his finger before he turns
the page of the supplementary read
er, or the frequenter of the library
who does the same thing to the libra
ry book, or that dear companion OF
many of our firesidcs who loves his
game Of bridge. but always vets his
thumb before he deals the cards.
There is little need to dwell on the
subject. It is one Of the small, insani-
tary tricks which set at odds all the
larger preventive measures, but it is
a habit which can and should be cor
rected wherever noticed.

PEANUTS FOR MEsoPoTAMIA.

The Mesopotamians are going to be-
come peanut-growers, much to their
own good. For many years they have
used peanuts for food, parching them
or making them into sweetmeats.
They have had to import all they used,
however.
A year ago the enterprising British
planted peanuts on small plot Of
ground-only a tenth Of an acre
near the ancient city of Bagdad. This
planting grew, bore fruit, Mesopotoam-
ian connoisseurs are delighted with
the quality of peanut produced.
From now en- the peanut industry
is going to thrive in that land. There
is ready and eager market for a
large crop at hcme, and any surplus
can be exported to less fortunate
places.
another reason why peanut culture
is going to be of value is the former
absence of any oil seeds. Very few oil
yielding plants have ever been raised
in Mesopotamia. Peanut oil will be a
welcome product.
A few years ago Americans would
have been astonished to hear of the
humble peanut being treated with
such honor and serious consideration.
This particular member Of the bean
family was long looked upon as q
frivolous edible closely associated
with amusement parks, circuses and
bail games, and occasionally offered
to the animals behind the don't
feed or moIest'' signs.
War changed all that. The peanut
became a very serious foodstuff in
deed. Peanut oil and peanut butter
became mainstays of the national
diet. And as luxury the salted pea
nut ranked almost as high as the aris-
tocratic almond.

Robert w. Cooper
Dies in Baltimore
Prominent Lee County Farmer
Passes Away

News was received here ia:c sun
day evening of the death in hoSplta'
in Baltimore Of Robert NJ. Cooper OF
Wisacky, this afternoon. Mr.. Coopcr
had not been we'll for the past lew
months and two weeks ago went TO
Baltimore for treatment but neither
family nor friends realized that MS
end was near.
Mr.. Cooper was ore Of the prcn1l-
nent. progressive farmers Of the state
and a high minded man OF the olG
school who had the respect Of all VINO
knew him. He was born in 1883 near
his present home in WisacNy, then IN
Sumter county. This section became
a. part Of Lee when that county WAS
formed in recent years. In 800 MI.
Cooper was graduated from the onl-
versity Of Virginia in civil ard MN
ing engineering. He was offered a
professorship in the University of Ala
bama. but the death OF his faiher.
George w. Cooper. called HIM 10 aus
home and thore he remained TO look
after the family estate. He married
Miss Netta Shaw. the daushte'' the
late Judge Shaw, who died many years
ago.
Mr.. Cooper took a. prominent part
in the public life OF Lee and sumter
counties but never would accept Office
IN either. He was member Of Gov
Manning's staff He often went to
Washington to represent the South
Carolina formers in conferences WIKI
the president and secretary of agri-
culture. He is survived by one son,
Robert N. Cooper of W;sacky. four
daughters. Mrs. F. c. Manning OF
Newark. Mrs. Clarence Miller OF
Waynesvillc. \. G., Mrs BrooEn"sn
Wilkinson of Montgomery. Ala. aaa
Miss Meta Cooper Of Wisacky. All OF
his family were with him st the end
except Mrs. Miller, who was in Wi
sacky with Mrs. r. NJ. Cooper. Jr.
The body is expected 70 leave Bal
timore Monday evening and arrive at
Mayesville at II a. m. Tuesday. The
funeral will be at Old Brick Chur@h

joined the siirkers who have beer
talking crochet They discuss: How
to get rid of ants; the terrible expert
ence they once had with bedtdgs;
the greed and iniauity Of landlords;
the greed and destructiveness Of ten
ants; the cost of food; the narrow
skirts; the suspicious Of Arabella that
the laundress is making off with the
handkerchiefs.
Nobody has very good time. No
body says anything interesting, help
full, worth saying or worth listening
to. Everybody is relieved when the
party breaks up.
Yet, deep down, everyone has 4
vague warming, little outflow Of af-
fection for the family as whole and
for it's individuals. There is some
thing about the bomely hospitality
something about the meeting Of the
clan that comforts that curious object,
the human heart.
Cannot somebody "reconstruct" the
family party? Cannot some genius
assume that relatives are people, with
real ideas, real interests, real things
to talk about, real gifts to share?
So soon will childhood be youth,
youth maturity, old age silent.

THE FAMILY PARTY. q

No satisfactory reason has ever
been given for having family parties.
Relatives are queer. They are hard
to get along with. The sharp eyes
and tongue of Cousin Lemuels wife
play havoc with the quivering sensi-
tiveness OF sweet Aunt Jane, Of hesi-
tant, seve2teen-year-old Sally. Youth
is so quickly bored with the tales. Of
eld.
1t is work to prepare the table for
so many people. There are innnmer-
able dishes to be done next morning.
Everyone has sacrificed something
,bit Of work or recreation. business
trip, reading or rest-because, since
Cousin Sarah is going to all that trou-
BILE, it seems a pity not to do all we
can to make it a success.
The men gather in a corner and
smoke and discuss: The iniquity and
greatness Of the president; the dull
ness of business, and overwork due to
prosperity. the difficulty Of meeting
the payroll, makes of automobiles and
the tires thereof (No one has to
own a car to get in on tii:s--the less
one has driven, the more he knows.)
The women form a circle afte- the
workers have stacked the dishes and
