HOME BOY FIGURES
IN WAR ROMANCE
Herbert Irving Reported A.
Missing But is Located;
Has Scotch Bride.

Herbert Irving, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Robt. Irving, has been located
by the Red Cross OF New York after
being missing for the past few weeks.
Several days ago tho local Red
Cross Chapter received a telegram
from Red Cross northwest headquar-
ters at Seattle, stating that q wiro
from New York had been received to
the effect that Herbert Irving, for
merly connected with the radio SER
vice OF the navy. had been missing
from that city for time and that
his Scotch war bride was worried.
The telegram asked the local Chap
ter to get In touch with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robt. Irving. and Az
certain II they had any late word
from their son.
Upon communicating with the par
ents and brothers and sisters OF
Herbert they were much surprised tn
learn that he had bride st all. hs
not having communicated with them
the fact that he had been married.
At nrst they were somewhat concern
cd respecting the fate of tho boy but
later II was found his mother had
had a letter from him since the date
OF his supposed disappcsrance. Herb.
ert has been with the big steam fhip
concern since receiving his discharge
from the navy and II was thought
he might be on a voyage on soma
steamer.
A letter received Wednesday by
Capt. Robt. NJ. Duncan. chairman OF
the Home Service section OF the
local Red Cross states Herbert has
been located and that a letter Ia In
transit.
Bum" Irving, as he IL familiarly
known to his former school mates in
the Harvey county High school. Is
one Of the FIRST Harney county boys
to enlist. lie did not make any
show Of II but quietly went away and
volunteered before he made his In
tention known to even his mother.
He In nne Md with lots OF get up
that Will take him through life. His
parents and brothers aud sisters ar
particularly desirious OF knowing
more OF his marriage and his Scotch
bride. He'll have to come through
with the story now that II Is knowp
To home folks.

PREVENT sTiSKING
sM,T IN WHEAT

Don't delay treating spring wheat
seed for sinking smut"
This In the message OF cereal spec
ialists In the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture to spring wheat
growers In the Northwest. whers
sinking smut or hunt OF wheat IL
prevalent and annually causes great
losses.
Sinking smut OF wheat may be
prevented readily by treating tho
seed with formaidehyde or with blue
stone. Formaldehyde is very gener-
ally used In the region east OF tho
Rocky Mountains. In the Pacific
Coast States bluestone Is more COM
monty employed. because II usually
gives very much better results; this
Is doubtless because soil infestation
occurs in that region.
The best method of applying the
formaldehyde solution Is by the So
called dipping method" which is as
follows: Prepare a solution OF for
maldehyde, using ! pound TO 40 gall
Ions OF water. Place some OF the
solution In tub or barrel; pour the
grain TO be treated slowly into the
solution. stirring thoroughly. so that
the smut balls and trash may float IN
the surface and be skinned on.
Drain the solution on from the seed
and pour II out In pile and cover
with sacks or canvas for TO IL
hours. DO not allow the seed to re-
main In the solution more than 10
minutes. Forty gallons Of the sol
ution Is sufficient to treat 40 bushels
of grain. After removing the cover,
from the grain spread 1t out TO dry.
II Is necessary to avoid contamin-
ating the seed again. 1t must not
be placed in smutty sacks, nor sown
with a smutty drill. Sacks. bins.
drill. etc. may be disinfected by
washing thoroughly with a solution
of formaldehyde OF 1 pound to 10
gallons OF water,

for their purpose the tying up OF the

further recites that the petition was
not brought before the proper court,

LastNight'sDreanl
What They Mean
DO YOU DREAM OF cATs2

WHILE dogs are regarded with favor
w by the mystics as dreamland pets,
cats are looked upon askance. The
chief trouble with them seems to be
their occult relation to SANDER and
gossip; which is probably why you
call that gossiping neighbor Of yours
an "old cat" Some people whom you
regard as your friends are talking
about you when you dream Of cats. If
the cat appears gentle or sleeping, so
much the worse. But don't be alarmed;
to be gossiped about is the common lot.
Just drive the dreamcat away and all
will be well. If the animal makes off
in response to your energetic Scat"
you will triumph over many obstacles.
But choose your cOnfidants carefully
when you see dreamcats. 1t is not
good sign to have the cat attack you,
for it means that the obstacles you
will have to overcome will be great.
Dreamcats also, strangely enough,
! seem to have a connection with rob-
bers. If you beat or kill cat in your
dreams you are going to catch thief,
and If it is cat you never saw before
you will recover all he may have
stolen from you. These are only gen.
eral rules; the mystics are not agree
ing at all with regard to the details Of
cat dreams.
/ HavelOck Ellis, in his book 1.-THE
World of Dreams" gives an amusing
example of a cat dream by poet
friend of his. The poet dreamed Of a
cat and the dream consciousness, for
some reason, suggested the word "tip-
cat" The faculty of verbal associa-
ton got to work and produced the fol-
lowing doggerel:
Call in the tipcat, cut off its tail,
Fold up some eggs in a saucepan;
Sit on the rest like an elderly male
And gulp down the rest as a horse can
The analysis is an interesting exam
pie of the verbal association found in
dreams. "Tipcat" suggested a cats
tail-its tip. "Cut off its tail" suggest
ed cooking recipe and led to legs ir
saucepan" Eggs suggested sitting,
while "gulp"-which the dreamer noted
appeared gallop-suggested a horse
1t is singular fact that the dream
consciousness sometimes gets in mer
ry mood when it is fond of making thu
most ridiculous combinations Of wordi
and perpetrating the most atrocioui
puns.
