One of the hardest propositions
which the legislature will have to
contend with this winter will be the
proposed direct primary law. While
there is general sentiment in favor
of such a law, the difficulty is going
to come in enacting measure that
will give universal satisfaction.
Oregon's direct primary law is any
thing but satisfactory to the people
of that state, and it is claimed that
il re-submitted to the voters 1t would
be overwhelmingly defeated. The
real object of changing from the
present law is to get something bet
ter than we now have, but if di-
rect primary law makes it possible
for only the rich man to obtain an
Office, then we don't want it. How
ever, our legislature will be in a
position to profit by the mistake
made in other states and may be
able to give us law that will fill
the long felt want.

Democrat, has been of considerable
aid to the administration in estab-

moreover has shown ability during
his long term in congress. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken care of less
prominent and less deserving Dem
ocrats upon their retirement from
the senate, and might have done
something for Dubois. But the
Idaho senator feels keenly his defeat
at the recent election and in express

his way to attack the president and
accuse him of being Mormon SYM

At the Delaware station tests were made

was met In applying the mixtures having
the higher percentage OF oil. because OF the
small quantity OF water used in proportion
to the amount of lime employed.
In the fall treatment, even with small
percentages of oil. the first few trees of a

sprayed trees produced full yields.
The effect OF the 10 per cent and 20 per

tory, as young scales on trees treated with
these mixtures were numerous in the
following autumn as on check trees, thong h
the treated trees were smoother because OF
the removal of the old scale incrustations

where the higher percentages of oil were

a condition which makes every student so
alive to the reality and closeness of the

Armstrong follows the advice literally
It's cooking Is toothsome and the cleanli-
ness of its dining rooms and the character
of the experimental luncheons are most
attractive.
But this school does not only teach eat

stable things to eat. but goes, even though

The central idea OF its agricultural de
partment is to have the students make a

given.
