PLAN FOR UNIFORM MEASURES
Convention of State Sealers Discusses
Feasibility of Securing Legisla-
ton for Regular Standard
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-For the
purpose of obtaining uniformity in
weights and measures throughout the
country, a convention of state sealers
is in session at the bureau of standards
with representatives from many states.
The delegates are discussing the feas-
ibility of securing legislation provid-
ing for a uniform standard of weights
and measures which could be adopted
by all the states and territories. With
view to the fruition of this plan, a
permanent organization has been
formed.
With the existing condition of af-
fairs it is said there is such a great
diversity in the weight and measure
laws of the different states that a pur-
chaser rarely gets what he pays for.
What is legal in one state is illegal
in another.

STUDENTS GREET
OR. WILLIS BAER
OCClDENTAL'S NEW PRESl-
DENT MAKES FRIENDS
Large and Enthusiastic Gathering
Welcomes Him to Los Angeles
and First Impressions Are
Entirely Satisfactory

A large and enthusiastic number of
students and friends of Occidental
gathered in the chapel last evening to
greet DR.. Willis Baer on his first ap-
pearance as president of the college.
DR.. Young, acting president, con-
Quoted the exercises and in the name
of the faculty extended to DR.. Baer
the greetings of the college as their
new president.
He assured DR.. Baer of the loyalty
of the faculty and students in all his
undertakings and promised their hearty
support and sympathy in all branches
of college activity.
He made special mention of the
training Dr. Baer had received in his
many years of work among Christian
Endeavorers, which would fit him un-
usually well for his present work by
arousing in him a sympathy and in
terest in young people, qualities which
are absolutely essential in a success
full college president.
DR.. Baer Presented
Mr.. Hagerman, speaking for the Sc
nior class, presented DR.. Baer with a
senior pin and told of the Christian
character and spirit of the members of
the college. Following Mr.. Hagerman
the presidents of the different classes
expressed to DR.. Baer their pleasure at
his acceptance of the presidency and
assured him of the heartiest support
and loyalty of their classmates.
President Baer, in his response to
these presentation speeches, said in
part:
Faculty. friends and students of the
college-Although this Is Friday, the
18th of the month, a doubly inauspici-
Gus day as some would have us think,
1 believe it is an epoch and turning
point in the life of both myself and
the college.
when a man gives up a certain
line of work and sets out upon another,
it is practically an epoch in his life,
and when an institution calls a new
man to be head of 1t, it is an epoch
in the life of that institution. So, my
friends. / believe 1 am right in saying
that this is the beginning of an epoch
in the life of this college, and please
God 1t will be an epoch which shall
see the advance and growth of the
college to better and higher things.
Likes the Name Occidental
"I like the name, Occidental college.
/ like Occidental because it is truly
occidental, standing as it does with all
| the United States to the east and all
the Pacific and oriental countries to
the west, where it can expand until
it's influence will be felt even across
the Pacific to the shores of China and
Japan.
"I like it because it is a college and
not a university. L want it to remain
a college and not try to compete with
the universities in their special lines
but want 1t to be the best college
while it is a college.

LET THEM FORGET THEM.

Never mind bad things you've heard;
DON t repeat single word;
Let them pass; forget them.
Do not mind them; they are not worthy
of moments thought;
They have so much mischief wrought;
Let them pass; forget them.
Never mind what some have said;
They We're words by malice fed;
Let them pass; forget them.
They were unkind and untrue;
And deserve no thought from you;
Be among the very few who will never
mind them.
Let the other people say words unkind
from day to day;
Let them pass; forget them.
Balance matters with them;
Give kind words for unkind ones.
Live as you know you ought; forgive,
Let them pass; forget them.
And il you have said word;
Sown another kind of seed;
Harsh, unkind, and some one heard;
Pass it not, but mind it.
Do another kind of deed,
Maybe some ones heart will bleed,
If you do not mind it.

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

The jamestown Exposition will be
held-that is a fact, aud we must
accept fact whether we like it or
not. The enterprise would have
failed, but for the energy and zeal
of few men in the lead. They
have labored under great distress
and encouragement. But they
have never given up. The Exposi-
tion is going to be held, and hun
dreds of visitors are coming. The
State of Virginia must have State
Building and creditable EXHIBIT.
1t is necessity, and the Legislature
must provide the money. You may
say what you please, gentlemen, but
you must act. Virginia is Ia progress
sive State and is inviting immigra-
ton. Many will come to the Expo
sition, as prospsctors.. The James
town Exposition will be State Ex-
position, and will be viewed as such
by visitors. Virginia must meet the
demands of the occasion. If she
should fail to have suitable build
ing and a suitable State display,
visitors would conclude either that
the State was poyerty-stricken, or
that there was a wceful lack of public
spirit and State pride in the Old
Dominion. Ia either view it would
be State calamity, and We simply
cannot afford it. The Legislature
must not suffer sach a calamity to
befall before the State.

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES
FOOD OF THE OYsTEn. !,

Many gallons, probably many bar
rels, OF water are drawn through the
giils of each oyster each day,,,, writes
university professor, ''and the micro
scopic beings that it may hold, are strain
ed out and pushed along into the oysters
mouth. Each microscopic organism is
long time in travelling from the point
where it first touches the gill to the
oysters stomach; all this while it is alive
and capable of becoming the parent
of new generations when removed from
the gill and placed under suitable con-
ditions. Most of these organisms are
wholesomet to man, and all that enter the
oysters stomach are quickly killed and
converted into its palatable and nutriti-
Gus substance, but SO long as they are
travelling along the gills all are alive, and
some are extremely dangerous to man.
The oyster exercises choice in the Sc
lection of its food, rejecting some of
the microscopic organisms and swallow
ing others, but those that are discbarg-
ed into the water with the sewage of
cities are not, unfortunately, among the
ones that are rejected, and before these
have entered the oysters stomach they
are most favorably placed for gaining
entrance into human stomachs and null
tiplying there.
HOW PLANTING PRosPERs IN AcCoMAc.
The ocakn side of Accomac and North
ampton counties is the best example
possible of the benefcent results that
can be obtained from judicious oyster
planting. Many inlets and bays in
which there are thousands of acres of
ground suitable for the growth of oys-
ters make in from the Atlantic. There
an already mammoth industry is stcadi-
iy increasing in volume.
The planting of oysters on the seaside
of the Virginia Eastern Shore was com
menced as business by the residents
of Chincoteague Island about 1848. Al
that time the supply of large oysters
Twas plentiful, and only the smaller sizes

The wear and tear of our wagons,

down to the bud but no deeper and press
the soil very firm against them. A
spade is an excellent thing to make the
holes with as it makes a wide cut in
which the roots can be spread.
For asparagus prepare the land as for
Strawberries, Mark off rows six feet
apart and six inches deep, set roots in
the bottom of the furrow, crown up,
and cover as fast as dropped with
about one inch of soil. Sow good
fertilizer close on each side the fur
row and in the furrow, run a harrow
on each side of the row close enough to
put about one inch more soil on the
roots, which will leave four inches of
the furrow to be filled up as the plants
are worked through the growing season.
Grapes prefer to set on high light
land preferably a hill side. Mark oft
rows nine feet apart and set vines eight
feet apart in the row about two inches
deeper than they grew in the nursery
row, after being cut back to three buds.
AS to varieties, for strawberries |
would recommend for early, Excelsior,
and Johnsons early medium. Senator

Brandywine and very late New Home.
Palmetto asparagus is far the best OF
sny / have tried. Champion, Delaware
and Niagara grapes pay me best for

1t is always best to plant for a main
crop only those things that are known to
succeed in our locality.
Fertilize literally around all the crops
above mentioned, work in the soil with
cuitivator. Keep the plants clean by
frequent and light culture. Never let
them get grassy is the best way to keep
them clean.

SOME NOTES
OF Interest TO Truckers, Farmers
and Stock Raisers.

Horsemen generally have much to
learn on the subject of feeding hay to
horses. The average man allows the
horse to be the judge of how much hay
he should have, this being gauged by
the animals capacity, and thus many a
good horse is ruined. One who has
made study of this for the government
says: 1t has been my privilege to oweigh
all hay and grain fed to horses since
coming to this station, and have never
found it necessary to feed more than
one pound of hay for every hundred
weight on the horse. For example, a
l, 1,400-pound horse should not get more
than fourteen pounds of hay per day. Z"
The tomato growers of this section
have struck for twenty-five cents per
box for their tomatoes. Some of the
local factories have refused to pay that
amount. They would not agree to pay
more than they did last season, which
was twenty cents per box. The grow
ers then met at Messrs. Fork, and
formed union, and resolved not to
raise tomatoes for less than the amount
demanded. They held their second
meeting on last Saturday afternoon and
agreed to build factory of their own.
They expect to meet again on next
Monday at IL o'clock to make further
arrangements as to where they will
build--Chilton letter in Colonial Beach

FROM WESLEY CHAPEL.
Each poet sings what seemeth best,

haSn poet sings Wnat seemeth best,
Words tell but half, we feel the rest.-
Words, indeed, can but feebly ex-
press how much we, the people of
Wesley chapel, already miss our
beloved pastor; who is first in our
hearts, We having had no other.
The closer one came into COM
panionship with him the brighter his
virtues shone.
His ministrations among us were
intelligent, earnest, practical and pro-
found.
We are truly thankful thstcfor he
past three years we have bad before
as such blessed Christian example.
We feel that his arduous and self
denying labors have done much to
the up building of Christianity in
our community.
To-day We pray Almighty God, VIII
has mercifully and patiently led us
through these busy years, giving us
more than we have deserved or even
desired, to give US at this sad time
the grace of Jesus Christ.
May the spirit of Jesus as it knocks
at the hearts of men today, enter
their lives aud bless them. Nav
duty be touched with beauty and
justice be forgotten in love, heal the
wounds of misunderstanding, selfish
ness or regret that scar our hearts
and let the gentler air of this Chris
tian's spirit touch our lives as the
cold of winter is touched by the
gentler days of spridg. We trust
that the seed which he has sown fell
on good ground that will bring forth
much fruit.
He has truly taught US
What might be done if men were wise,
whatglorious deeds, my suffering brother,
Would they unite
In love and right,
And cease their scorn OF one another.
Oppression's heart might be imbued
With kindling drops of loving kindness,
And knowledge pour
From shore to shore.
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies and wrongs,
All vice and crime might die together,
And wine and corn.
To each man born,
Be free as warmth in summer weather. VI
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect
In self respect,
And share the teeming world tomorrow.
What might be done? This might be done,
And more than this, my suffering brother;
More than the tongue
Il Hath said or sung
If men were wise and loved each other
