Since the opening of the school year

young men dangerously injured or

Tins of the hazers
The newest paraphernalia are the

torture Stimulating the Spanish inouisi-
ton or the southern Ku-KIux-Klan.
The event is so realistic or carried to
such an extent at times amid the ex-
ercises as to inflict fatal injuries on
the victims.
There is the ice-water bath, the lean

ed with iodine Or nitrate of silver. the
running of the gauntlet, the torture of
ironing the spine with red-hot irons
in which the victim sees irons in the
fire before he is seized and bound and

In the last two years five young men

This organization, with DR.. Blalock

bank of the Columbia river, opposite
the island. The main body of this
acreage lies in Washington, while
small portion extends into Oregon. II
is valued at about $4,000.

ter promises to be one of the most in
teresting and important ever held in
this country Among the various
needs of the retail grocers in this
country are the following: An amend
ment to the bankruptcy laws, so that
debts for necessaries shall be treated
discharge be granted from such debts.
The adoption of the Dixon bill, COM
pelling civil service employees to pay
their accounts for necessaries; the
adoption of a reasonable pure food
law, which will properly guard the in
terests of the grocers; some equitable
settlement of the premium question;
the defeat of the parcels post bill,
which would seriously injure the in
terest of the retail grocers; to defeat
the plan of laying an import duty on
tea and coffee and other matters OF
equal importance.
For some time the proposition has
been agitated to secure the passage
of a law which would require grocers
and their clerks to pass certain exam
nations and obtain a license before
they are permitted to engage in the re-
tail grocery business but there is con-
siderable opposition to that plan and
it is not considered probable that
majority of the delegates will favor
any action in favor Of license law.
