M0NSTRATI0N
TRAINS GOOD WORK

Agitation is the beginning of pro-
gress. The effort of the demonstra-
/ tion train. moving this week from
point TO point through Southern Ore
gon, Is TO spread the gospel of bet
| ter methods on the soil. IL Is the
/ truth told In a new way. Scientists
from the oregon Agricultural College
are with the train as agitators for
improved farming methods. On their
train are perfected types OF cows IL
Illustrative OF the most profitable
breeds. There, also, is an Oregon
hen that has broken the worlds rec
ord by laying 256 eggs in a year In
every branch of agricultural hus-
bandry, there are with the train. OK
hibits exemplifylng the advances
made and making. These are supple
mented with addresses and literature
by the college experts. II Is literally
the carrying OF the college to the
farmer on his farm, instead of wait
ing for the farmer to attend the COZ
lege. IL Is the actual delivery of sd-
dcation, postpaid almost at the very
doors of town and country homes.
It's novelty is part OF its value ia
that the very novelty itself will
bring within the educative influence
many whose attention cnnld not 9th
erwise be secured. The better types
of animals and poultry, various ex-
hibits illu trativc OF advanced agri-
culture and the addresses of the ex-
perts are the state fair and the agrl-
cultural college Joined together un-
der one canvass, and shown TO the
farmer at his own doorstep. II is an
example of that agitation that always
has been and always will be the hand
maid OF evolution. when all other
influences have failed. the demonstra-
tion train will do It's part in setting
In motion forces that will interest,
arouse and educate.

SOCIETY OF AsTRoLoGERs.

Minneapolis Man Promotes Organize
ton Of American Star Gazers.
A movement has been started by
Charles M. White of Minneapolis,
Mimi, to organize a society Of all as
trologers and students Of astrology
and to incorporate the society in order
to give the reputable astrologers in
the United States the dignity Of pro.
fession which, Mr.. White says, is as
legitimate as the profession of medt
cine, dentistry or surgery.
Mr.. White Is now sending to almost
every big city Of the United States to
get in touch with astrological students
and prepare for organization. All as
|trologers Of doubtful character are to
be debarred from membership, and
any one practicing astrology In an u
Legitimate manner or putting it on the
|plane Of fortune telling will be prose
|cuted by the society and. If possible.
driven out Of business.
I Many physicians and men and WON
len Of prominence are interested in the
movement. In New York the one
most active is A. Stevenson, and 9th
|ers are Ray Broughton and Walter b.
Lewis Of Manchester. N. 81.
II think intelligent men are begin
ming to realize that the old science OF
|astrology, which has outlived all the
ATTACKS against it for SO many thou
sand years, is a divine science and
holds the mystery Of the universe,
said Mr. Lewis the other day. ut re-
quires a study of many years OF the
hardest kind before any one can even
get an idea of it's tremendous truth
and possibilities to the human race.
a1u glad to see that scientific men all
over the country are beginning to
study it. Many physicians are making
use of the science to diagnose their
patients ailments and are very sue
cessful."

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
The Victim Said Nothing, but Did

SVS0P W
At railway station the other day
"a gentleman from the country" yield
ed to the pressing solicitation Of per
eistent newsboy and bought penny
weekly paper.
But here was a difficulty-a shilling,
no change and the engine Of the train
giving unmistakable evidence OF
speedy departure. 81.
The bargain was about to be can
celed when the boy volunteered to get
the shilling changed into pence.
But" said the gent, perhaps you
will not return with the II pence
The boys face wore an injured look
IF you are afraid to trust me, sir,S
said he. and there was the least trace
of emotion in his voice. you can have
the other eleven copies as security"
Something suspiciously like moisture
came into the old mans eyes as he
glanced into the bright, open counte-
nance Of the boy, and he felt heartily
ashamed of himself as he mechanically
held out his hand for the remaining
eleven copies.
He watched the little fellow as he
trottad down the platform till he sailed
round a corner and was lost to sight
Fifteen seconds later the engine gave
q final shrek, and the train slowly
glided out of the station.
The man glanced round at his fellow
passengers and handed copy Of the
paper to each one from his pile.
He said nothing, but he seemed to be
thinking.-LondoD Tit-Bits.

INDICATIONS POINT TO SUICIDE
[By Associated Press. ]

washington. Sept. l5.-The au-
topsy on the body of the late Lieu
tenant Sutton disclosed nothing in
consistent with the theory that the
Lieutenant shot himself, either acci-
dentally or with suicidal intent The
tendency of the surgeons report. is
to show that Sutton shot himself.
The bruise on the side of his face
did not extend below the skin. The
hole made by the bullet in the cram
ium showed distinct traces OF powder
marks and the bruise extending from
the wound was such as might have
been made by the gas generated by
the powder at very close range.
