WEDDINGS IN CHINA MEAN
GREAT MONEY EXPENDITURE

China spends the most Of any
country On marriages. The custom
there is for d family to spend the
income "f three years on one wed
ding Japan follows second in the
list Of per cents. A family whose
income is 10000 ven is expected 70
spend 10000 on a marriage. The
smaller the income, the greater il
the strain on tho family purse. az
a man with 1000 yen a year in
come is the average citizen who ex-
claims at the loss Of 5000 yen ~ the
birth Of q daughter.
Following Japan, Russia is-or
has be"u-the next most expensive
country IN which to be married Then
comes Spain. Italy. America and
Germany in the order named. The
table was drawn up with the inten-
tion Of showing how very much
too much Japan was spending in
this mistaken way and the article

FARM REMINDERS
Seasonal Suggestions on Thing,
often Overlooked, as Seen by
State College.

Poultry: Raise chicks from good
strains of layers. then feed them in
such a way that the pullets will keer
up the reputation Of the strain.
Poor feeding of the chicks will re-
suit in poor lay ing of the pullets NO
matter what the strain is It pays
to buy the best feed.
Animal husbandry: This is a
good time to set land aside to raise
corn for silos.
Results of experiments carried on
by the Eastern Oregon experiment
station showed that steers fattened
on alfalfa hay gained about one
pound daily while those fed on al
falfa and silage in eight different
tests gained n little more than | 3-4
pounds daily. The cost of feed
amounted to about the same in both
cases.
Dairy Build silo and pay in
come tax. Unless the dairymen be
gin to market better grade of
cream the indications are that the
price OF butter fat will he as low this
as II was last eyar or perhaps even
lower.

ICEMAN ARRESTED
 TWICE YESTERDAY
DumbrOsky Pays Fine for Swear
 ing at Customer

Wadislaw Dumbrosky, an ice deal CT, was arrested twice yesterday for breach of the peace. once in the
 morning and again early in the aft
 ernoon upon complaints from the same source, appeared in police court
 this morning. He was fined yl0 and
 costs by Judge Kirkham.
 The ice man has a customer named
 Mrs. Young on Sexton street and he told the court he always trusted her.
 Yesterday he sent a boy in to get five cents she owed him. He claimed the woman swore at him and that he swore back at her. He was arrested
 both times. An automobile caused all the trouble. for the driver drove up in front of Dumbrosky and parked the car near his horse. This angered him and his temper increased. Some small boys testified to his actions, his speech, and his insulting way. Mrs. Young testified to his swearing at her and using names not fit to be spoken. Motorcycle Patrolman Strolls offered testimony as to the arrest. The accused was taken in at 11:45 in the morning upon complaint and in the afternoon the officers again found him at the same nuisance mak- ing. When the officer told him to go, Dumbrosky is reported as having told the policeman, "I don't care. I've got lots of money and want to get pinched." The good -natured officer accommodated him and he was booked for the second time in two hours at the Commercial street lodg- ing house. When Prosecutor Klett asked the accused what he had to drink he told him Root beer"
