FOR STATE PROHIBITION
Anti-Saloon League VIII Meet Next
Month Ia Prepare Crusade.
Predict Victory.

Portland..-Dotails of Sne cam
paign for statewide prohibition,
which will be waged in Oregon next
year by the Anti-saloon League, will
be arranged at the annual meeting
of that organization, in Portland.
Tuesday, October 90. Among the
important questions to be decided at
that meeting Is the proposed publica-
tion of a daily newspaper under the
auspices o. the league In It's hght
on the run shops. In addition 10 the
election of officers, a new board of
trustees aid an executive committee
also will be named.
In predicting success In their cam
paign for state prohibition the anti
saloon forces admit that they will
not receive the support OF great
many local optionlsts. who, while
favoring regulation OF saloons. do
not believe In statewide prohibition.
The temperance advocates. however,
say that any loss Of strength on this
account will be more than Offset by
the votes which will be gained from
the saloon interests In sore OF the
counties where local option is now
enforced.

Colorado's State
School of Agriculture,

The establishment of School of
Agriculture in connection with the
Colorado Agricultural College, at
Fort Collins, will fill long felt
want in this state. Many a young
man reared on the farm is desirous
of obtaining scientific knowledge
of the vocation by means of which
he hopes to gain II competence. but
he cannot afford a full college
course. In fact, the greatest inn
pediment is the lack of high
school education, without which he
cannot enter college. He is face
to face with at least six years OF
study, two or more years of which
must be spent in gaining knowl-
edge that he should have acquired
in high school. The School of
Agriculture will offer IA course that
will be open to graduates of the
grammar schools. The boys can
step out of the eighth grade in the
rural school and enter the School
of Agriculture, sure of practical in
struction such as will best fit them
to return to the farm. The course
gets down to bedrock and the young
man who is in earnest will find it
the best possible means of securing
an education that will fit him for a
vocation more profitable in Colo
RADIO than perhaps any other line OF
work, when scientifically followed
