ENGLISH COUNTESS WINS
FAME AS AN ORATOR

London.-One of the most remark
able women in England today is
hardly known in America at all and.
as a matter of fact she is not so
widely known in England as many
women who are entitled to fame in
a vastly less degree. She is the coun-
tess of Carlisle, who presided at the
recent American meeting of the Wo-
mems Liberal federation.
Lady Carlisle is one of the most ac-
complished orators of the day, and
is, moreover an extremely skillful and
practical farmer. 1t is not so many
years ago since she took into her
hands several thousand acres of land
on the Castle Howard estate which
had remained uncultivated from time
immemorial. BY her orders steam
cultivation was introduced, the soil
was lined and artIflcially manured,
with the result that it now produces
magnificent crops.
Superintends Everything.
She personally superintends every
thing, and when she is in residence
at Castle Howard it is by no means
an unusual sight to see the hall and
staircase lined with people waiting
an audience with her in her business
room. No trifle is ever too insignifi-
cant for her attention.
1t often happens that she takes her
place in the pulpit and in the private
chapel attached to Naworth castle, the
family's seat in Cumberland, she has
been known to conduct the whole SER
vice, sermon and all.
Temperance Favorite Theme.
But temperance is one of the IA
vorite themes of the countess, and In
this, as in other matters. she has al
ways backed up her opinions by ac-
ton. In her opinion, the excessive
number of public houses is the great
est obstacle to emperance reform
and as evidence of her practical be-
lief in this, has herself closed man!
public houses, reopening them as cof'
| fee palaces.
Her ladyship has always been
strong supporter of the women'
movement. She has carried her con
victions-that women should not be
supplanted by men in work which
they can properly perform-to the
length of employing only female ser
wants in her establishments. :.

CO. | RIFLE TEAM
HOME FROM SHOOT
ADVANCE ONE NOTCH IN
STANDING OF TEAMS
Finish at State Rifle Range in
Twelfth Place-Captains Kern and
Ferguson Distinguish Themselves
Boys Can go to Encampment.

The rifle team of company L re-
turned to their homes on Saturday
morning after having spent the week
on the state rifle range at Clackamas
Oregon.
While the boys did not return with
any of the medals or prizes they are
consoled by the fact that they sue
ceeded in climbing up one notch
nearer the top. When the company
L boys first attended the state shoot
they were in something like the
twentieth place but each year they
have crawled up step by step. In
1909 the team shot into thirteenth
place and this year they succeeded in
making twelfth highest score.
Considering the different conditions
between the Clackamas range and
the home range and the much higher
scores that were made this year over
last and the fact that different am
munition was issued the company L
boys are to be congratulated.
Eaach year shows a vast improve
ment in the rifle shooting of the
National Guard and straight scores
on all the ranges are now not uncom-
mon.
The boys report a fine time and an
enjoyable trip. Two stars stand out
in prominence however and both hail
from Pendleton. Captain Kern took
the free for all cracker race which
was only open to officers and Captain
Ferguson distinguished himself by
making an impossible on the thousand
yanrd range, shooting a straight score.

AUSTRIA PREPARES TO
FIGHT STANDARD OIL

Berlin.-The government of Aus
tria has finally decided to help the
national oil industry by administra-
tive measures in their battle against
the Standard Oil subsidiaries, especi-
ally the Austrian Vacuum Oil COM
pany, and so the battle will from now
on be conducted by the two princes,
Emperor Francis Joseph, as the head
of the government of Austria, and
John D. Rockefeller, ruler of untold
millions of Standard Oil dollars.
1t was originally intended to strike
against the American octopus by leg
islation, but the Austrian government
has seen that this method would be
too slow, and now quicker means to
drive John DIS representatives out
of Austria will be adopted.
The Austrian Vacuum Oil company
hurts the independent Austrian re-
fineries in two ways-first, by rails
ing the price of crude oil; second, by
lowering the price Of the refined pro-
duct.

British Students Dislike Professor
Muir's "HOydenish Tomboy."


Observation-Disclosures Ramsay Muir,
of Liverpool University, is being as
sailed by scores of girl correspond

boy"
In a speech-day address at South
port he charged modern girls school
managers with borrowing boys school
methods in their frantic desire to es-
cape from old-style conditions. They
had carried exaggerated athleticism
to a more extreme degree than the
boys schools themselves and the pro-
duct was a sort of hoydenish tomboy
They have revolted against the un-
intellectual character of girls edu-

of it they had created that dreary

ably more deadly when found in the

Whatever Democratic candidates
