ALL ACCORDING TO NATURE
Animals and Birds Universally Obey
Law Seemingly Implanted by
Supreme intelligence.

Strange things happen in the
Jungles. Carveth Wells, explorer and
lecturer, tells about the hornbills,
long-tailed birds SO big they often
measure five feet from tail tip to
beak. In Malay jungles Wells saw
the male hornbill during the mating
season drive the female into hollow
tree, then wall up the opening with
mud. This protects Mamma Hornbill
against enemies. She stays in her
jail until eggs are laid and Matched.
Then pa lets her out. Meantime he
has fed her through a small opening
left in the mud. Ee gathers the food
by using his saw-toothed beak to cut
fruits and flowers from their stalks.
Maybe that's where man originally
got his idea for the saw, now used
to cut boards.
Not necessary to go as far as Ma
laysia. In Canada, when timber wolves
mate, Mrs. Wolf hunts cavern with a
roof that slopes downward to meet
the floor in V-shape. She pushes her
young far back in the V. This is to
keep Pa Wolf from eating his family.
Mother Wolf can get at the babies
easily, with her small body. Pa Wolf,
having a larger body, cannot wedge
himself in far enough to reach them.
Wise nature that makes Mother Wolf
smaller than pa. Wise Mother Wolf
that knows, in advance, her husbands
appetite and how to battle it.
Seals swim north to rookeries or
breeding grounds. The male seals go
first, house hunting. After they have
located good homes, near plentiful
food supply, messengers swim back
to summon the COW seals.
In the baby ward of a hospital you
see infants, each in his own bed. all
very orderly. Mother Bee does the
same, builds an apartment house of
cells with wax walls. In each cell
raised. Wasps have the same system,
manufacturing in their bodies the pa
per with which they make the cells.
Ants build their nurseries in the earth
or rOtted trees, with many bedrooms,
also corridors through which Mother
Ant dashes about, peering into each
room to see that baby is O. K, then
on to the next.
You cannot explain these peculiar
things in nature, any more than you
can explain why a male peacock al
ways has four wives, never more, new
er less. All forms of life seem to re-
volve around the function of having
children. Considering the intricacies
and far-sightedness of what we call
nature, it is bewildering how any man
can fail to believe that Supreme In
telligence is behind it all

ALFALFA VALUED BY ANCIENTS

Over Europe.

to Mexico, and thence spread north

New England got Seed from Eng
land about the same time. But the
plants died the second season, and
the culture of the new plant was
generally ignored by farmers. Only
recently has it been restored to a
place among agricultural crops in
the East by the discovery that soil
incubation establishes the plant
and it becomes one of the best crops
for forage and for building up de-
pleted farm land.
In the West alfalfa is the great for
age crop, as it is in southern Europe.
Drought-resisting varieties brought
from Turkestan are grown in the semi
arid regions of the West, and the des-
ert places become gardens. Harder
varieties have extended the range of
the plant farther north.

PoIynesians MYSTERIOUS Race.

The area occupied by the Polynesian
race in the Pacific is not less than
100000 square miles. But the land
surface within this area is relatively
small and varies from New Zealand
with its 100000 square miles to little
atolls barely large enough to resist
the waves. The branches of the race
are scattered from Hawaii in the
north to New Zealand in the south,
from the New Hebrides in the west to
Easter island in the east, and their
hOmOgeneity is a remarkable feature.
Nobody who has studied their Gus
toms, their language and their legends
can doubt that they have a common
origin. Whence came the Polyne-
slams?

American Rainfall

A vivid picture of the amount of
rain that falls upon the United States
is given by a Washington scientist. 1t
is equivalent to ten Mississippi rivers
flowing constantly. Otherwise meas
ured, it equals 80 inches of water for
the entire area, making a total volume
of 152, 600, 900, 100000 cubic feet. But
this is only half the amount that
would be necessary to maintain the
full productivity of the soil of the
whole country. One-third of this
amount runs down to the sea in rivers.

Her Curiosity.

The audience held it's breath with
amazement as the acrobat swung high
above the rostrum, held only by frail
cord Topped around one foot.
Somewhere among the spectators a
little girl arose from her seat.
Mama" she shouted, breaking the
silence, "can you do that?"
The lady tried to quiet her, but the
child persisted in demanding whether
or not her mother had ever climbed
ropes or done anything of this sort.
At last, embarrassed by the attention
which the child was attracting, the
mother jerked the child into the seat,
warning, "You just wait until l get
home -
'Oh!' exclaimed the little disturber,
then your gonna try it?'-Judge.

Second Floor Plan.

affects the general lines that it is we'll
to give it careful thought and special
planning.
While at first impression this de-
sign might be thought to be that of
a small house, we soon notice that it
is really quite a commOdiOuS home. In
addition to the usual living room, din
ing room and kitchen on the first floor
there is a pleasing reception hall and
a breakfast room which means a saw
ing of time and effort when the family
is alone and there is no special rea-
son for using the dining room.
There are three bedrooms upstairs,
and none of them are of the bandbox
type. Rather they are all of good
size, each having the convenience OF
an ample closet. Note the good judg-
ment displayed in placing the bath
room, which is handy to all the three
bedrooms.
Besides the three bedrooms there is
the sleeping room afforded by closet
bed in the living room, so a good
sized family and it's guests need never
be cramped in this attractive, excel
lently arranged home.
The use of glass doors between the
living room and dining room, built
in ironing board, a fireplace and a
downstairs toilet are added refine
ments which help to make this one of
the most livable designs shown in this
department.

Had High Opinion of Loved One.

Theodore Hook, though he died a
celibate, had his share of love adven-
lures; and it was only lack of courage
at the last moment that kept him from
the altar. He had actually posted a
letter of proposal when his heart
failed him, and he recovered the mis-
sive just as it was starting on Its
fateful journey.
On being reminded one day in later
years, after a long and bitter TRADE
against matrimony-'if certain lady
had been alive, even you would to-day
be the slave of a woman" he re-
torted: "a woman, no, no! She was
not a woman, but an angel"

$4,000 AND
$4,000 BUSHELS OF
WHEAT SOLD FRIDAY
One Of Largest Crops of 1921
Harvest Sold by Lieuallen
and Sons to H. W. Collins.

Between $4,000 and $4,000 bushels
of wheat, representing one of the larg-
est crops of the 1921 harvest, were
sold yesterday by ]. T. Lieuallen and
sons to II, w. Collins. the price re-
ported being around the dollar mark.
Mr.. Collins characterizes the crop
as one of the finest of the year. prac-
tically all the wheat being No. /, of
the Club variety.
The sale of the Lieuallen crop
and several small lots which were
sold last week, leaves about 12 per
cent OF the Umatilla 1921 crop unsold
estimates Mr.. Collins. He predicts
that this per cent will move very slow
ly unless the market shows some de-
cided advance,
The decline in today's market, Mr.,
Collins says. was to be expected as q
reaction from the increase In prices
Because of the snow and bad weather
experienced in Umatilla county during
the winter, Mr., Collins looks for an
curly spring and correspondingly
early harvest. Because of the snow
he states that 1t Is hard to ascertain Il
damage has been done to the wheat
during the freezing weather.

That the price of wool Is likely to
go to 40 cents q pound in the spring
and that growers will do well not to
contract their clips n, this time Is the
view of W. L. Thompson who came up
from Portland this morning and is
spending the day here.
According to Mr. Thompson. he
bases his view on the fact there is
now but "a million pounds of terrific
rial wool in the county and buying in
terests have awakened to the fact
there is a shortage. With the high
tariff in vogue foreign wools cannot
be successfully imported.
There has been no contracting in
the northwest it is said, but some
Utah and Nevada wool has been sold
the highest price so far being 80 cents
n mound. Consignment houses are now
offering to advance growers sl5O per
fleece which amounts to an advance Oh
Is cents a pound to the grower. The
fact they are willing to go so strong
in the way of advancing money on the
new clip bears out the theory that
the market is to be strong.
Mr. Thompson ascribes the advanc-
ing price of wool to supply and de-
mand and the increased price OF WOO
is strengthening sheep prices. Money
made available by the war finance
board has also played a considerable
part in bringing sheep prices out o.
the depressed figures that prevailed
for a time.
