A THOFOID PRCfeLtM.
The wide-a^ake business man
looks after two things—economy of
production and economy of distri
bution. The wise farmer must
also look after both. He cannot
afford to neglect either. As Sir
Horace Plunkett says: “An ef
ficient department [of agriculture]
can help the farmer to grow more
crops and breed better cattle and
do these things at less expenditure
than when his output was smaller
in amount and inferior in quality.
But he will not get a full reward of
his intelligence and enterprise, un
less he learns to control the distri
bution of products and obtains
working capital on suitable terms.
This he cannot do until he adopts
the co-operative method. On the
other hand, what is the use of or
ganizing the farmers, if they are
not making good use of their
land?”
The two things must indeed go
hand in hand, and those leaders
are not wise who try to encourage
one policy at the expense of the
other, or try to make it appear that
one policy is at enmity with the
other. The farmer does need to
learn how to produce his beef more
economically. He also needs to
know how to market his beef more
economically and thereby save to
himself the millions the Beef Trust
takes in unnecessary tolls between
the farmer's barnyard and the city
butchershop. The farmer does
need to know how to make his cot
ton with the smallest possible out
lay of sweat and purse. He also
needs to know how to save to his
own pocketbook the millions and
millions appreciation in value be
tween the time the cotton leaves
his hands in November and the
normal price-level is reached in
‘May. Clarence Poe, in The Pro
gressive Farmer.

FiND THREE-TCED HORSE
Scientists Seeking Relics in Nevada
Also Uncover Remains of Prehis
toric Camel and Dog.
Rono, Nev.—Marvelous discoveries
of prehistoric mammals in tlie shale
fields on the desert 28 miles east of
Mina, Nev., are announced as the re
sult of the explorations of Prof. Law
rence Baker of the department of geo
logical research of the University of
California. Professor Baker is assist
ed in his researches by Prof. Buwaldo,
also of the university faculty.
The investigations disclose the fact
that the region about Mina was once
an immense body of tropical water.
The bones of a tliree-toed horse, about
the size of a lamb, have been unearth
ed. The teeth, well preserved, and the
entire remains of a prehistoric dog
have been brought to light. It is be
lieved that, this animal lived at least
five million or six million years ago.
The scientists say that the fields about
Mina are the most marvelous in the
world. %
Fossils eighteen feet high are to be
seen cropping out in the heart of the
desert miles away from any human
life. In the vicinity is a bed of pure
carbonate of magtiesia, which assays
show runs 97 per cent.
The remains of fish are to be seen
sticking out of the banks. The pro
fessors are bending their efforts to
obtain specimens of mammals. The
remains of an extinct camel, dating
from the miocene period, have been
obtained.
Effort is being made to obtain speci
mens of the water lizard, believed to
be the oldest known form of animal
life. Fish many feet in length are
to be seen and every Indication points
to the fact that the remains, so per
fectly preserved, belong to a period at
least five million years ago. Along
the southern edge of the desert, which
is believed to have been a lake at one
time, there has been discovered coal
of a high quality.
An eastern syndicate owns the prop
erty upon which the discoveries have
been made. They acquired the land
to work the magnesia deposits and
also to prospect for gold, w'hich is
found in nearby sections. Permission
was granted the scientists by the lo
cal manager to study and take speci
mens of the relics.
An effort will be made to have the
Smithsonian Institution send an ex
pedition to make a thorough study, as
it did of the mammoth tracks discov
ered in the yard of the state peniten
tiary.
GIRLS TO WEAR BLOOMERS
Playground Instructor Buys 1,600
Yards of Gingham for Pu
pils to Make Up.
Cleveland.—Miss Marguerite Kelly,
supervisor of playgrounds, and Miss
Mary Penn, sewing instructor, went
on a shopping expedition and bought
1,600 yards bf goods.
‘‘Fine trousseau,” observed a man,
who wandered Into a room in the City
ball, where Miss Kelly and Miss Penn
were busy with scissors, cutting and
hacking at great bolts of checkered
goods.
‘‘Trousseau nothing,” scornfully an- ;
swered Miss Kelly. ‘‘This is gingham; j
and it’s to he made up into bloomers
for girls at the playgrounds. There
are between 800 and 1.000 girls to be
supplied. We decided to have them
make bloomers instead of weaving
mats and baskets. They can’t wear
baskets and mats.”
“But why the bloomers?”
“Well," said Miss Kelly. “They
won’t wear certain articles of lingerie
in hot weather. That’s the reason, if
you must know1.”
OREGON GIRLS HIT GOTHAM
Look at New York City and Call It
Devoid of Beauty—Its Women
Blase.
New York.—Nine Oregon girls who
reached New York from Portland af
ter having motored about the city a !
few hours declared that so far as they
could see New York was devoid of
beauty. They are farmers’ daughters
who earned the trip by getting sub
scriptions for a newspaper. After two
doys in New York they went to Wash
ington to meet the president, and
finally to Chicago for the Republican
convention.
“Eastern women,” said Mrs. M. A.
Hartshorn, a newspaper woman who
is chaperon of the party, ‘‘are made
up too much to look pretty. Even the
young girls look blase. Their faces
are absolutely devoid of expression
and they cannot be compared with
our girls with their natural vivacity.
And as for your men, they all look so
de'lcate. Their waist lines are even
smaller than the girls’. They are not
like our men, big and lovable.”
Kisses Break Up Church Play.
Chicago. When Miss Anita Clius
chow found that she was to be the re
cipient of many kisses in a play given
by the young women of the Ascension
Roman Catholic church, in which she
was to take a Reading part, she re
fused to go on with rehearsals until
the kissing scenes were cut out. Now,
unless a woman can he found who
does not ohject to being kissed on
the stage, the play will be called off.
Punctuality Costs Her Life.
New York.—Jumping into a rapidly
rising elevator. In order to get to her
desk on time, Miss Mary Foreth, a
cashier, fell forward, her body being
caught and crushed beneath the edge
of the floor and the top of the eleva
tor door. When the operator reversed
the lever the lifeless body crashed 25
feet to the basement.
Veddernian really should have gone
to the dentist some time before he
mentioned the fact that his tooth was
hurting him.
Vedderman is six feet one way and
coi respondingly broad the other and
his competitors in business simply lie
down and give up the fight if he
chooses to make them perform tricks,
so of course it would be heresy to say
he was a coward. The fact remains
that when the first little twinge in
the tooth made him sit up and take
notice he kept still about it. He had
a sneaking hope that it was a falst
alarm.
It. was not. Anything cold or any
thing hot he learned to eat on the
other side of his mouth and occasional
moments of forgetfulness brought him
starts of retributory anguish. Still,
he kept his sorrow to himself. No
body knew anything about the dis
turbed condition of his dental appara
tus till the grapefruit at breakfast
one morning hit the tender nerve.
“Ouch!” said Vedderman, involunta
rily, as he clapped his hand to his
face.
"Why, Henry!” said Mrs. Vedder
man. “You must have a cavity in a
tooth! You must go to the dentist!”
"I s’pose so.” agreed Vedderman,
with great reluctance.
”1 know you dread the dentist,”
went on his wife, “but—”
“What!” Vedderman exploded, in
dignantly. “Whatever put such an
Idea into your head? I'd just ns soon
go to the dentist as smoke a cigar!
What do yoitx take me for?”
“Well, I'm glad you feel that way
about it," said his wife. "You'd better
make an appointment today. It doesn’t
do to let those things run!”
It was three days later that Mrs
Veddernian casually inquired about
her husband’s appointment with the
dentist.
“Oh!” said Vedderman, with an
elaborate start. "I have been so busy
that I've forgotten to run in. My tooth1
doesn't hurt so much, anyhow.”
The next night at dinner Mrs. Ved
derman smiled sweetly at her hus
hand. “1 called up Dr. Swift today,
Henry,” she said, “and made an ap
pointment. for you next Thursday
morning at ten. I thought it would
save you the trouble!”
Vedderman put down his napkin
and stared at her in a startled way.
Then he coughed. "You meant kind
ly, no doubt, my dear,” he told her.
"but it is just another instance of a
woman’s Interfering in something she
knows nothing about! 1 have a busi
ness engagement for next Thursday
that is extremely important. Kindly
phone Dr. Swift and cancel the ap
pointment! I’m just as anxious as
you are to get that tooth tilled."
“Well, you don't act that way!” said
his wife, tartly.
Every day thereafter Mrs. Vedder
man inquired whether he, had seen
Dr. Swift, until Vedderman, in sheer
self-defense arranged to have his
tooth attended to. When he came
home to dinner the night of the day
he was to have gone to the dentist’s
his wife beamed cheerfully at him.
"I'm so glad it's all over,” she said.
“Did he hurt you much?"
Vedderman turned his back on her
as he hung up his overcoat with ex
treme care. Then lie coughed. "I
didn’t go to the 'dentist's today," he
said, rapidly. “I had to phone him to
‘set another date. Our ’eastern man
was in town and T had to see him—”
“Henry Vedderman!” interrupted
his wife, in indignant tones. “I never
would have thought it of you! I'm
ashamed—-”
“Look hr re, Mary!” said her hus
band, defiantly, “I don't like the way
you treat this affair! You act as
though i were postponing it on pur
pose! You don’t think I'm afraid to
go to the dentist, do you?”
"<^h, no!” said his wife, with sar
casm.
"Anyhow, \ edaer man sain, lamely,
"it hasn’t hurt nearly so much!"
He bit on an unexpected fragment
of hone in the roast that sent him to
the ceiling. Mrs. Vedderman merely
looked at him, hut the look was with
ering. The constant dull ache got on
his temper, too.
Finally, the fourth time he post
poned his appointment. Hr. Swift set
the hour at 9:00 a. m. and Vedderman
saw no hope looming up ahead of him.
He ate his breakfast like a condemned
criminal and his brow was gloomy.
That night when be got home his
wife looked at him inquiringly.
"What do you think!" Vedderman
said, in great Indignation. "When 1
got to the dentist’s today he wasn’t
there and the gir! said he’d been sud
denly called away on important busi
ness! After all the time I’ve been
trying to get at that man it seems
he might have had a little considera
tion for a patient and stay at home
and attend to business instead of gal
livanting around! It makes me tired!
Here I’ve tried and tried to get work
done and sat around and waited and
then he runs away as though it didn’t
matter! Doesn’t he think my time
is worth anything—”
“Henry," interrupted his wife, “as a
good, all-around bluffer you are ever
lastingly beyond the limit! Go up
head! You know you're tickled to
death to get off again!”
"No such tiling!” growled Vedder
man. "Anyhow, he’ll be gone only
two days and tlie duffer left an ap
pointment for me for the very first
day! ”
