The Outdoor BOy-His Feet

For the boy going on a hike
whether it is to last six hours on
six days, there is nothing more
important than keeping the feet
in first class condition. The first
thing to do is to have proper foot
wear. Get the shoe plenty wide,
comfortably loose when wearing
woolen socks. The shoe should be
high enough to prevent dirt from
entering the shoe, about s inches
high will be found best. The
shoe should be light, but durable
with a thin, strong sole and soft
oil leather or canvas uppers. Some
prefer a heavier shoe but it is
well to remember that the work
of lifting heavy shoes several
thousand times a day-there are
somewhat more than 1000 steps
to the mile-is quite an item. A
stiff sole is more slippery than a
thin one and is liable to blister the
feet because Of this stiffness. For
hard, rough work an Oil-top
leather shoe, well oiled and cared
for, will be found best. Stiff sOles
are good only for rough rocky soil
and mountain work.
The kind of socks or stockings
is just as important as the shoes.
The particular variety depends
on just what kind of hiking YOU
expect to do. If it is in the woods
where the air is cool and where
the feet may be damp part of the
time, heavy wooden stocking is
best, as it will not only protect
the feet from bruises but will also
keep the wearer from catching
cold if his feet should get damp.
If one is walking ever hot roads,
thin woolen stockings are better
than cotton ones.
Never start on long hike with
dirty or sweaty feet. The feet. as
we'll as the stockings, should he
carefully washed before starting
out every morning or a new pair
CT stockings should be worn. AS
an extra pair could hardly be car
ried for each day of a long hike,
it may be well to carry one extra
pair, changing and washing every
day.-July Boys Life.

EXPENSIVE FRUIT DRIERS
ARE NOT NECESSARY

The purchase of expensive fac
tory-made driers for fruits and
vegetables often calls for an ex-
penditure of several times the
amount necessary to secure a good
drier of either the homemade OF
faCtory-made type, according to
the United States Department of
Agriculture, which has made a
study Of the best types of driers
for home use. The department
has now on the market selling at
a price about five times what it
would cost to construct a satisfac-
tory substitute at home. While
the interest which gardeners are
everywhere manifesting in in
creased food production should
result in increased use of driers,
the department believes that a
large money expenditure for such
equipment ordinarily is not nee
essary.
For the benefit of those who
prefer to make their own drierS
the department has published for
free distribution pamphlets con
tanning detailed information on
the subject. One of the drlerS
recommended is metal covered and
is designed to stand on cook
stove or small furnace. A less ex-
pensive cookstoye drier, also
recommended is made of lath,
wire screen, and canvas or heavy
unbleached muslin. With either
o! these articles much of the gar
den's surplus can be conserved for
winter use, thus materially reduc-
ing the food bills of the coming
months.

PORTLAND, July lI.--At a
conference with Governor Olcotl
and other prominent Portland
men Director Stephen A. Mather
of the national park service stated
that the hotel at Crater Lake is
inadequate and that more mod
err hostelry must be built. Di-
rector Mather made it emphatic
that the people Of Oregon should
take immediate steps to provide
a hotel at Crater Lake capable OF
accommodating the throngs Of
tourists.
That hotel o! jucn magnitude
cannot be made to pay was the
reply of Mr. AinswOrth, but Direc-
tor Mather said that he was so
confident that hotel would be
a good investment that he per-
sonally stands willing to risk
$1,000 on the enterprise.
Governor Olcott told Director
Mather that he is ready to accept
his challenge and that he would
take immediate steps to present
the proposition before the public
and raise the necessary funds to
provide the park with one Of the
best hotels on the Pacific coast.

SMUT FAN SAVES MONEY.

From an insurance rate amount
ins to $50 per thousand to moth
ing is quite a drop, but E. j. Do
neen, president of the Whitman
County Farmers Union, of Oakes
dale, Wash, asserts that the smut
collecting fan devised by the eX'
perts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has done that
Tor him. Moreover, his wheat
threshed from very smutty grain
sold at a discount of only l pei
cent.
Addressing a farmers meeting
at Walla Walla, Wash, Mr.. Do
Eeen told his audience. 81 start
ed threshing on the worst place
on my farm, where the grain con-
tanned from II to 90 per cent OF
smut heads, and by using the smut
fan ran the smut out through a
pipe 10 inches in diameter. AT
first the smut was simply scat
tered over the field, but later we
put the end of the pipe under the
stack, thus preventing the spread
OF the smut spores.
1--WE ran the machine for 81
days and had no fires or explos-
ions, although there were 16 ex-
plosions in the district last year.
| sold the wheat at only 1 per
cent discount, whereas without
the smut fan | would have been
Gocked at least 10 cents a
bushel."

PARADE COMMITTEE
THANKS HELPERS

That a parade, the size and sue
cess of the Monday one, should
have been originated and worked
out in less than a weeks notice,
is, we think, worthy of greater
publicity in its report than that al
ready given it.
To the tireless and unfaltering
effort of Mrs. C. H. Vaupel, chair
man of the float and especial fea-
tuIes committee, associated with
J. II. Fuller, to whom the Mon
day parade had been turned over,
its splendid success is due.
Working with Mrs. Vaupel was
Mrs. Hal McNair and the follow
ing chairmen of Sub-committees :
Mrs. Fred Homes of the God
dess of Liberty float.
Mrs. Charles Pierce of the Elks'
float and Mrs. C. B. Lamkin, who
planned the Kings Daughters
float, for the Presbyterian church.
The float of the Epworth
League of the Methodist church
was under the direction of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Fraley, Hazel Powell
and Mrs. Clary.
The Auxiliary put on an espe-
cially fine float under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Sam McNair, Mrs. E
II. Bush, Mrs. Ray Murphy and
Mrs. A. C. Briggs.
The beautiful float for the
First National Bank was planned
by Miss Aileen Walker and Hazel
Powell of that bank, assisted by
Mrs. Hal McNair and also by Mr..
and Mrs. V. V Mills, who donat-
ed their car for that purpose.
The float for the Relief Corps,
which was the car of Mrs. Geo.
Robson, beautifully decorated,
was represented by Mrs. Howard
(president of the corps), Mrs. Co
der, Mrs. John Mills. Mrs. Geo.
Mathews and Mrs. Geo. Robson.
Among the beautifully decorat-
ed private cars were those of Mrs.
C. H. Vaupel in "Tho Cradle ROLF;
Mr.. and Mrs. J. j. McNair and
tiny daughter, and the car of Hen
ry Barneburg, in which were rid
ing Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Mitchell
and little girl, and Mr. and Mrs.
Barnebure.
The car of Mr.. Finley, wonder
fully piled with wild flowers and
ferns, and pretty girls, was es-
Iecially fine.
The plan of having the pageant
feature as part of the parade was
arranged and provided for by Mrs.
+. Fl. johnson and Mrs. c. b. Lam
kin, and was most effective. The
private cars carrying the G. A. r.

Ashland Iron Works last night and
carried off a quantity Of tools
Oyeralls and jumpers from there
in use for the workmen. En-
trance was made by breaking in
the back door OF the building. A
clue to the robber was left when
an old pair of overalls. evidently
discarded for better garments
was picked up in the foundry. Yes
terday a man called at the iron
works and asked to be donated a
lair OF overalls. and the garments
were given him. These were
found there this morning. and 1.
is supposed the theft followed az
ter the situation had been sized
up by the afternoon visitor.

ACCESSORIES ITEM IN
SUMNIERY WARDROBE
By Margaret ROhe.

{" written for United Press g
NEW YORK-Wearing overalls
ana gingham froCks isn't going to
mean much in the summer girls
lite as an economic saving.
A dress is small part indeed
in the smart females wardrobe
these days. It's the little things
that count and also count up-All
the fascinating and costly acCes-
sOries that are so charming and
irresistible and dear. The fans.
handkerchiefs. gloves, stockings,
shoe buckles, earrings, perfumes,
bracelets, bags, parasols, wells,
ribbons, scarfs, beads, canes and
the cigaret cases.
Hankies have reached a degree
os sheer perfection as to make
them really too beautiful for any
earthly use. Perfectly adorable
ones of COlored linen are hand-em-
blCidered in pastel tinted posies
and crOss-stitched around the roll
led hens and run with cOlored
threads. They are as much works
of art as any thing done on can
vas, though they are done on lin
EN-. A lovely one of yellow linen
is cross-stitched around the rolled
edge in black and has a tiny bas-
ket in one corner oyerflowing
with wee pink roses and forget
me-nots exquisitely embroidered;
another of Nile green has wreath
of pink rosebuds and one of old
blue garland of purple viOlets.
Other hankies have ceased to be
on the square and are offering
themselves to chic noses in the
most fantastic shapes-Oblong,
Cval, round and diamond shaped.
These odd shaped affairs are usu-
ally developed with tiny centers
of sheerest linen finished with
wide edgings of gossamer footing.
The craze for the Oriental and
especially the Egyptian note in
the mode has brought to hand
many novel bracelets of gayest
coiGrings. Usually of some COM
position to stimulate coral, jade,
laris, ivory, jet and turquoise mat
Xix, they are worn in contingents
OF two or three, all Of different
lues to add a striking color note
to the shOrt-sleeyed arm. With
gay strands of yaricOlOred beads
ana earrings to match. to say
nothing of a cigaret case and
long cigaret holder of bright tint
ed composition as well, it is a close
race whether the summer girl thus
lccOutred looks more like an
Egyptian city or Christmas tree.
BY the way, ii is no wonder
there is shortage of milk over
IN France. Almost ell of these
composition articles as well as
nany Others like parasol tips and
tops for bags, combs and
,ins for the hair, all in the most
lectic Of tints are made from 4
.hemical composition in which
milk plays the major part. Al
most Munchausenlike ii first
.eems the assertion that these ar
istic cigaret holders, purse tops.
'tc.. made OF material like gayly
iued bone or heavy celluloid is
,asicly lacteal fluid and yet it is
lulte a simple and satisfactory
lrocess OF modern science. So
'asy indeed has it become to turn
milk into trinkets that the Bibl;-
al miracle Of turning water into
vine would create much more OF
, furor in this arid era. Indeed
hese days, though there be many
/ slip 'twixt cup AMI lip. provided
he cup were filled with milk. it
S apt to find itself eventually at
he lip in the form OF a eigaret
iolder as like as not.

Opens 1st Session

oolors, come close to all hearts
there.
The motor trucks from the Os
kar Huber construction camps
were fine addition and the com
mittee wishes to especially thanh
them for their interest in our sue
cess.
First place and worthy of first
mention should be the Elks float
marvel of beauty, and reflect
ing great credit upon its design
ers and decorators. Riding in
the float were Mrs. +. G. Sweden
burg, Mrs. p. II. Provost, Mrs
Newsom Harrison, Miss Dorothy
Jones and little George Franci.
Smith. Walking by the side Of
I the float and wearing dresses witt
Elks' cOlors were the following
girls, each carrying a basket Of
cherries and holding streamers
from the top Of the float: Edith
Herrin, Dorothy Carnahan, Mar
guerite Hammond, the Misses
Heer and Lolita PiersOn.
The float for the Goddess OF
Liberty of whom Miss Susanne
Homes was goddess, and accom-
panied by the two little daugh-
ters of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Mitch
ell, and Bobbie Dodge and Rich
ard Stewart, also deserves extra
notice.
Among the advertising cars and
features of especial mention is the
"0asis," -. c. l.. Loomis' store on
the Boulevard, and represented
by Henry Pace dressed as an
Arab riding a fine horse, and
carrying a banner bearing the in
scription.
The Overland-Marcy was the
best advertisement for a garage
OF agency, being very prettily car
ried out with a new car and white
roses, and in which were riding
four girls. The White Star and
Automotive were also there, only
a little less pretentious.
Among special features worthy
Of remark were:
Mr. Frost, as George Washing
ton.
Mrs. Gilmore, as Martha Wash
ington.
Dr. Jarvis, as Napoleon.
w. G. Tucker, as William Penn.
Mr. G. o. Jarvis, as bearer of
the big French flag, accompany
ing Joan Of Arc.
DR.. McCracken, riding in mill
tary uniform with the National
Guard, and Fred Homes assist
ing as marshal.
Especially fine is the spirit which
made possible this parade. do
it for Ashland" was surely the
slogan, for which every heart in
torested, everyone worked with
will, and with no thought of re-
muneration. And so to those who
so generously gave of their time
ana to those who worked hard
though perhaps as silent mem
bers, and to those whose names
may inadvertently have been
omitted from this report, both the
committee and the pleased thou
sands who witnessed the parade,
would give sincere thanks for a
task we'll done.
