If for no other reason ithan to aupply him with milk and butter. Hut there ore other reasons, idoop-seuted ones that involve the ew'nomlca of ugrlculturo.

The dalry-j lug community is Invariably prosperous. Itolryliig Is a cron il.nt llet full, becuuse the element of speculation is eliminated. In the furmer'a acquiring a dairy herd, the buslnoss man tlie country banker this time lies an oimortunitv to supplement good advice with something more muterlal. And it is reully tho duty of the banker to help the honest, cupable and Industrious farmer to obtain the results that may be cashed In for the welfare of the entire community. A farmer came to his bunker to ask for a loun of 500.

The banker knew the man's furm waa mortgaged to tho limit. Yet a few years before tlio farmer had had money enough to purchase his pluco and put some In the bank besides. "Your system of farming must he wrong," tho banker told the farmer. "I know It Is," replied the farmer, "but I know of no other way." "Toll you what," auid the banker, "I'll make that loan 1.000. innte.nl of J500, If you will do as I tell you." And the farmer hesitatingly agreed r.fter hn liitard tlm 1...

Today, tho mortgage has been lift ed rrom his farm, and he has money fiarnlng Interest in the bank of his friend whoBe business astuteness read aright tho reasons why his farm ing system did not pay. The $1,000 went toward the nur. chaso of the nucleus of a dairy herd and tho appurtenances necensarv tn operate a modol dairy. A little ap plied nusincss emclency In maintaining only real producing cows and the result was foreshadowed.

The farmer not only benefited, but tho banker also received his reward. PORTLAND MARKETS The receipts for the opening market were about normal for this time of the year. In view of the stock conditions throughout the country, being 1,250 cattle, 1,200 hogs and 800 sheep. Cattle The cattle market opened draggy, with a prospect of a 25 to 50c cut, which developed to a 26 to 75c cut before the close of the market. The run of cattle was on the whole better than the previous week Including several carloads of high bred Hereford and Shorthorn steers.

The percentage of well-fliilshed beef stuff In the yards was somewhat increased over lust week's offering. The yards were emptied of all marketable stun" except some poorly bred southern stock cattle which were held over in spite of a fairly active market late In the afternoon. The feature ot the cattle market was a carload of beautiful whlte-fuced feeders, weighing about 700 pounds, being almost uniform In size and contour. The prices paid are standing about as follows: Tone of market, draggy, 25 to 50c; best beef steers, $8.60 to god beef steers, $7 to best beef cows, $5.50 to $8.50. ordinary to good cows $4 to best heifers, $5.50 to bulls, $4.60 to calves, $8.60 to stocker and feeder steers $4.60 to stocker and feeder cows, $3.50 to $5.50.

Hogs The bog market opened strong and active, with a demand ex ceeding the supply, which resulted In springing the price back to the old figure of $15.60 for tops. This means an advance of 15 to 25c over last week's prices. The top price was for eastern Oregon and Durocs, which wero very satisfactorily finished for this time of year. Quotations now stand as follows: Tone ot market, strong, 15c to 3 5c higher; light hogs, $15.30 to heavy hogs, $16.40 to mixed hogs, $13.26 to $13.76. Sheep There was nothing out ot the ordinary In the sheep market; the annual decllue continuing and the sales moving oft rather promptly at tho following figures: Lambs $11.00 to $11.50.

Navel Contonment, Mare Island Navy Yard, July 16, 1917 To the St. Helens Mist: I have always Intended to write a letter to the St. Melons Mist but have never done so, nevertheless I always have my St. Helens friends In mind. I am surely well pleased with tho navy, and I am not at all sorry I joined it.

It is a fine place for any young follow and an education In Itself for them. Undo Sam believes In giving us a good chance, and furnishes us with the best of eats and amusements. We have a beautiful chapel here on the island, where we can attend religious services without going ashore. We have also moving pictures and various other cmusemonts. The drills aro fine and our work is not as hard as most peoplo im-ugino it is.

Wo lire now In our new cantonment, and it is quite convenient considering the large number it has to accommodate. Wo surely do learn how to wash and keep our clothes In good shape, which I suppose our mothers will appreciate when we get back. Our sleeping quarters are comfortahlo, they being hammocks, but I wouldn't care to fall out, as I would have quite a distance to fall. There Is a splendid Y. M.

C. A. camp at Vnllejo, and at this camp we are mado welcome, and In tho library wo are at liberty to use what stationery we wish. We get shore liberty three times a week. I often go to the Presbyterian church, where they always make an enlisted man most heartily welcome.

It seems like being in St. Helens when we go there. They also furnish stationery for our benefit. I can truthfully that I am glad that I went into the navy when I did, and that I am in ll to do my best and get all I can out ot it, for I know there is a great education in It for i.nyone. 1 heartily appreciate the Interest my many friends have tr.ken in me, both In writing to me and Inquiring about mo, and I hope I nip.y always provo a friend to all.

When we left St. Helens the mayor gave each of us a letter which I consider an honor for us to have. It has helped me r.lrandy, and I am safe In saying thnt In has the good will of all the boyo that hold the letters. I have been slow about writing to him, but you oil know I am slow, however better late than never. Well, if I don't quit the editor will hr.ve to add an extra page to the Mist, so wishing one and all success In the future, I am Truly yours, GEORGE J.

Phone DAVE COONS DIET AND DISEASE "Beware ot giving your children too much pasteurized milk, proprietary food or even cereals to the exclusion ot brown bread and butter, stewed fruit or roasted apple, and a little ment once a day," writes Dr. Beverley Robinson of New York In giving' a warning note about rickets in the New York Medical Journal. Ho adds that ho Is "considering especially children two or three years old who are healthy and vigorous unless rickets develops unawares by-reason of faulty dietary."
