WANT BACHELOR FOR
.. THE SMALLEST RECTORY

NEW K-The Episcopal
Church is in quest OF a. bachelor rec
tor to occupy the smallest rectory
in America.
He must be a bachelor, for the
smallest rectory Is far too small for
rector with a wife. and quite i'm
possible for a rector with a wife and
children.
The smallest rectory Is at st.
Marks church, in Tonopah. New.
The need OF a bachelor to fill It has
been brought to the attention OF the
heads OF the Church's nationwide
campaign in New York by the Right
Rev. George Coolidge Hunting, d. d.,
missionary bishop OF the state. The
rectory has stood vacant. BishoD
Hunting explains. because none but
a single man could get into II, "and
there do not seem to be any more
single men in the ministry"
But Bishop Hunting has found a
way out OF the difficulty In his
statement Of the projects for Nevada
to be embraced in the campaign, he
recommends a new roctory for st.
Marks. There is not a bed to be
had in the town" he reports. Ito
say nothing OF a house."

NOTED V|O[|N|ST
WITH SOUSA'S BAND

Florence Hardeman, the American
violinist, who appears with Sousa's
band in Ashland November 16, has
won for herself an enviable reputa-
tion and critics have been unani-
nous in their praise Of her artistry.
This is the second tour Miss Hard
eman has made with Sousa's band,
and the great leader himself says he
considers here one of the leading vio-
llnists before the public today. Mad
anne Sarah Bernhardt, with whom
Miss Hardeman toured the states and
Canada as assisting artist, is most
interested and enthusiastic admirer
of the violinist's work.
Miss Hardeman has appeared as
soloist with some OF the leading
symphony orchestras OF the country
and with the New York Glee club at
Carnegie hall, the Rubinstein club al
the Waldorf, the New York Criterion
club, the New York hippodrome Sun
day night concerts, and with Bern
hardt at the Knickerbocker. She
is the proud possessor Of Ole Bulls
rare old Amati violin. This instru-
ment was presented to her by Gin
cinnati patrons of music, who also
sent her to Europe, where she stud
led with the famous master, Leopold
Auter, In Russia.

ELECTIONS COME
HIGH IN GERMANY
(By the ITnited pressl

BERLIN,.-(By Mail. )-Democra-
cy comes fairly high in Germany
While she has no campaign expense
laws like America, she is already
learning that elections are costly as
evidenced by a compilation of the
costs for the national assembly and
Prussian land assembly elections
some months back. The expense
against the government was more
than 100000 marks, while to the
parties involved the expense was
more than 100000 marks.
These expenses are likely to be
vastly increased when the elections
for the Reichstag occur. So far,
no definite dates have been set for
these, but the present regime is striv-
ing hard to get the elections post
poned to next spring on the theory
that elections this fall or winter
would. only make for fresh unrest.
Both the right and the left are
massing funds, however, so as to
make strong campaign against the
moderate regime, and the new tests
will furnish one of the bitterest cam
paigns ever waged in Europe.

EVEN SOME NEWSPAPER
PEOPLE ARE QUEER

Newspaper folks are supposed to
be the most open hearted people on
earth. Their diversified experiences
usually makes them broad. Yet,
once In a while one is met up with
who seems not to have profited by
observation or experience.
We are led thus to cogitate on
remembering that the Portland
Chamber Of Commerce, in conjunc-
tion with the civic bodies of South
er Oregon prepared a fine excursion
through this beautiful region for the
National Editorial association at an
expense OF some ten thousand dol
lars. They did 1t of course in the
hope that 1t would Illicit favoroh'N
comment concerning this sec on in
periodicals when the visitors re-
turned, and 1t did in most cases. Eut,

or and editress, living at Dixon. ~
and editing the Dixon Telegraph. got
no inspiration from the tip. Not
withstanding having net number
of former Dixon people in the Ash
land park who paid her and her son
especial attention, the only comment
she made when she returned was that
she had had very pleasant trip
through the northwest. 1t is so un-
usual that we are led to think that
she saw only with her eyes. Her in
tellect was asleep.

Community prosperity Is, or Is not,

Much money will be spent around
here during the coming Christmas
holidays. 1t is right that 1t should
be so, for every normal person likes

But where will that money go?
viii the profits remain here. and
continue to circulate in our midst,
and enrich our local community? OF
will they go to foreign houses, and
be forever lost to us who have pro-
duced them by our energy and our
thrift?
The answer is in our own hands.
Our local merchants will be we'll
equipped for supplying our demands
The goods will be on their coun-
ters, where we can see them, judge
as to their quality and know what
we get And the name OF a local
dealer stands as a guarantee for
everything he sells.
But il we buy abroad we lose from
our midst both the dealers cost price
and his profits. We never see them
again.
And our community Is the poorer
to the extent Of the profits on every
article not purchased at home.
Which shall il be?
A constructive Christmas, or a de-
structive one?

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis-A short course on
using the home newspaper to sell
surplus farm produce will be offered
farmers week at the college, De-
cember 29-January 3, by c. j. Nc
Intosh, farmer, farm writer and eI-
newspaper man.
81 have known farmers to pay a
local commission man $50 to sell 100
tons OF alfalfa at $40 ton, when
they could have sold it by paying the
editor a dollar" said Mr.. Mcintosh
in announcing the course. "They
could then have kept the extra s4s,
credited it to the buyer or split 1t
with him. asked why not advertise
and sell direct, and they said, Why,
I never thought of it,
"Not only the advantage but the
method Of using the home paper Will
be considered. The success OF the
advertisement depends on the facts
selected for announcement, the form
in which they are stated, and the
reputation of the advertiser. All OF
these-except the last-will be ex-
planned and so far as possible dem
onstrated.
Specimen advertisements that have
been business-getters with results
are wanted for this course.
Using the home press is not only
profitable business but sound public
policy as we'll, Mr.. Mcintosh asserts,
These papers help farm production
by running many farm story that
enables the farmer to increase or
protect his crops, and are fairly en-
titled to a shore Of the paid news
matter-advertising.
Editors generally like to run as
news items farm stories OF unusual
Weld, odd and interesting farm hap
penings and community enterprises.
and the course will show how this
matter may be handled to mutual
advantage.

HILO, Island of Hawaii, (By
Mail. .)-Owners of coal black game
cocks are keeping out an eye to see
that the chicken house door is locked
securely every night.
And that's all because the volcano
OF Kilauea is now the most active
it has been for 35 years.
Six months ago Kilauea was sput-
tering away in its mile wide bowl Of
burning, molten rock, with the level
of the flaming crimson sea OF boiling
lava 900 feet from the top of the
crater
The night that Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels and his party paid Kill
auea visit-the latter part Of Au-
gust-the level of the seethlng lava
lake was about so feet below the
crater's top.
Several overflows already have oc-
Cured. A cone which once jutted
500 feet above the crater's top has
melted away into the sea of fire. Two
hours after the secretary and his par
ty left the volcano the rock wall be-
tween the main crater and a second
smaller one, caved in, joining the
craters.
And Kilauea still Is going strong.
As to the connection of all this with
coal black game cocks? Oh, that's
very simple.
Many years ago, when the islands
first were becoming n white mans
land, Kilauea became angry, 1t
roared and hissed and sputtered and
the ground shook. Then the lava
overflowed and moved slowly down
the mountain side toward Hilo.
The native Hawaiians had been
Christians but a comparatively short
time. Their fright knew no bounds,
for the island legends were full of
tales of what Kilauea did when
Madame Pele, the goddess who lived
in Kilaueas crater, became angry.
So the Hawaiians prayed that the
flow would stop But it didn't.
Then they danced. But that was
ineffective.
Finally, forgetting their Christi
anity for a time, they sent a party .
by canoe to Honolulu to consult
few remaining priests of the days
when they all worshipped the strange
South sea deties.
"Throw a black rooster into the
lava floy," was the advice they
brought back.
The sleekest, shinest cock on the
island of Hawaii was picked for the
sacrifice,- and while the maidens
danced, the warriors cast the squak-
ing bird into the base Of the lavas
flow
In an hour the flow had stopped.
Madame Pele, the most feared god
dess of the island, evidently had
been satisfied with chicken dinner.
American residents Of the island
believe that if there is ever another
big lava flow, coal black roosters will
come into demand once more.
