BREAKING A HORSE TO RIDE
Take Plenty Of Time and Do Not
Brighten Young AnimaI-Teach
Cats Separately.

When horse is to be used for rid
ing it is well first to break him to
drive single and double. This will
make him quieter to ride.
Horses usually buck through fear. In
breaking one to ride, take plenty Of
time and do not brighten him. Put
on the saddle and lead him around
until he becomes accustomed to it. Do
not have the girth too tight. The
horse may be tied up for time and
later turned into a paddock with the
saddle on.
Next accustom the horse to being
mounted, getting on and off number
of times. The assistant should have
a lead rope tied around the horses
neck and run through the rings Of a
snaffie bit. If the horse attempts to
play up, punish him with a jerk on
the bit. Let the assistant lead the
horse with rider around until the

PAPER CLOTHES IN JAPAN
Much Might Be Saved by Adopting
Kirnono as Everyday
Dress.

The japanese have had paper clothes
for many years and some of the most
attractive kimonos in the Far East
are tailored of wood pulp. An ex-
pert on Japan insists that the lsyman
will find it hard to distinguish these
kimonos from the expensive silk wrap
pers. Everybody in Japan wears XII
mOnos," he remarked, according to the
New York Evening Post, "and the pa
per garments are very popular and in
expensive. For about $3.50 you can
buy a kimono that looks like 500
outftand feels Like it, too. The pa
per is soft and pliable and it can be
draped gracefully about the figure. If
Americans, men, women and children
alike, could be converted to the XII
mono as everyday dress, paper clothing
might become the only wear"

SIDE WHISPERS IN LONDON
Fashion That Was Frowned on Some
Years Ago Seems to Be Com
ing Back.

The London exquisite is doing his
best to cultivate side whiskers, fash
ion that was somewhat fr0wned upon
a few years ago when Lord Rocksav-
age attempted its resurrection. But
that was in the days before the war.
and probably it is as change from
the regulation military mustache OF
the last five or six years that British
young men of today are growing tufts
of hair in front Of their ears with most
hideous result.
The earl Of Lonsdale and his broth
err, Hon. LanceIot Lowther, have al
ways been famous IN the fashionable
world for wearing "sideboards, s." but
in this hirsute face fitting they are
usually credited with the desire to sug-
gest the sporting" atmosphere In
which they are generally to be found.

SWINE REQUIRE CLEAN LOTS
Not Enough Attention Paid to Pens
by Many Hog Raisers-Worms
Thrive on Dirt.

A great many hog raisers do not
nav enough attention to clean lots.
Worms are the cause OF many I'M
thrifty pigs. Recent investigations In
dicate that the eggs Of both the COM
mon round worm and the lung worm
are harbored in old straw piles, ma
nure piles, dirty hog lots and hog wal
lows. One of the best methods OF pre-
venting worms is to clean up the lots
and thus minimize the number or
worms which will be present. During
warm weather it is a good plan TO
move the hogs entirely out of the WIN
ter quarters and at the same time
clean them up.

A very common form of Rheu--

Ashland Loses
By Score of 80

In one of the fastest games of
the season, Ashland high scnoof
football team lost to Klamath
Falls, by score OF 3 to 0. The
kick from place was made in last
few minutes of play. AT this
point the Ashland team started
with the determination to put the
ball over and the Falls team could
not stop them. In few plays
the ball had been advanced from
the twentysyard line to the twenty
on the other end of the field. But
the Ashland team started too late
and time being called saved the
game for the Falls.
The game was a real one. Real
football, free from personal In
juries, but hard fought from start
to finish. The officials were on
the job and kept the game going
all the time. The Ashland boys
and coach arrived home Saturday
evening. It is possible another
game will be arranged with Klam-
ath Falls the goth of October on
the Ashland field. Each team
new has one game to their credit.
This coming Saturday the Ash
land team will meet the team from
Grants Pass. The Pass team was
defeated oD their field last Satur-
day by Medford in a rather slow
game by 6 to 0. Klamath Falls
will also meet the Medford team
on the Medford field.
The Ashland team is fast fixing
up the weak places and are ex-
pecting to win from the Grants
Pass team by good score. In
