An interesting fact has been notea
by many an orchardist the past re"
months, and that is the purple color
which was early taken on by so many
varieties of apples which are pure
green or yellow at harvest. Inc
writer has noted the same tendency on
his own ranch in the case of the New
town Pippin, Yellow Transparent ana
white winter Pearmain The coloring
referred to seems to have been caused
bv cool nights. followed by warm days,
and those who have made a caretui
study of the coloring referred to as
sert that the purple color not only en-
ables the small apples to withstand
more degrees of cold than fruit NOT
colored, but that 1t more readily ap-
serbs the heat of the sun, resulting IN
better growth and larger size.

PLAN GREATER NORMAL
REGENTS WANT 100000 FOR
NEW EQUIPMENT.
Campus OF Twenty Acres and Modern
Buildings WIN Be Required
Soon.

The Board of Regents of the State
Normal Schools met in Salem, Mon
day. and practically agreed on a Dill
asking for 100000 for the equipment
and support of the Monmouth schooi.
Colonel Hofer, from the finance
committee, made the following report,
outlining plans for what he considers
a proper equipment for a state normal
school:
The state should acquire sufficient
lands for buildings for about hve UNITS
of 900 students each. That means
main school building with class rooms,
an assembly room and laboratories for
that many students. Such a building
can be erected for $4,000, completely
eouipped. 1t should have two dormi-
tories, one of about 200 capacity Tor
girls. and one of about 100 capacity
for boys, as that is about the ratio OF
attendance. These dormitories can be
erected for $4,000 for both, includ-
ing equipment That would mean
three buildings and equipment for
about 100000.
Nccu lN6lty 1SNAOS'
If such buildings can be erected,
they will be filled by October l, and
they will be ample for two years
when the legislature can make further
nrovision. To accommodate State
Normal School, such as the state must
have. since the state has gone into the
Normal School management, there
should be a site of at least twenty
acres of land, with enough room TOT
athletic grounds for boys and girls.
When the school grows as 1t shouid
under a progressive policy OF com
nelling all teachers to take Normal
school training when this building Is
outgrown another unit can be ADDED
Then there could be a principal ana
CORPS of teachers for each unit. There
would be a payroll of about $l5'ooo'
and. allowing $4,000 for administra-
ton, president and secretary we would
have a payroll of 100000 to start
with. Succeeding units would be
cheaper. because the same admins
tration would suffice. How can we
finance the first unit of the system
Statement of Revenues.
The people of oregon have voted
to have one Normal School, and to
have that located at Monmouth, and
in accordance with their declared
policy. 1t is the duty of this board oi
regents to outline plan for a state
Normal School that will be in keeping
with the needs of the state and the
growing demand for trained teachers
The act creating one State Norma
School provides revenue by taxa
tion. which increases year by year
and. with aid from the legislature now
contemplated, makes 1t possible t
eouip a first-class training school foi
teachers If we utilize our resources
and make wise disposition of thu
property belonging to the state. In m!
opinion the Monmouth school distric
should be required to erect l2-grad'
public school that should be conducted
separate and apart from the Norma
School. The school district coult
take over the old Normal School build
ing on q bond issue of at least $50,
600. Out of that fund and the bill 10

we would have for the school yea

These figures convince me that we
can start with good equipment for
a first-class Normal School, and two
years later add another unit, and
thus at the end of 1913 have a school
with an equipment for a school of 500
to 600 students. The time has come
to make a new start on this matter
and make Il right, and l am firmly of
the opinion that the Board of Regents,
through their executive committee,
II the Legislature will heed the man
date OF the people. and properly equip
one State Normal. can carry out some
such program by the first of septem-
ber and install a president and fac
uity Of a state Normal School that
win be a credit to the state, and end
the travesty and makeshift plans OF
the past.
Old Building Inadequate.
AS soon as the dormitories are
ready for occupancy. they would at
the rate Of SO cents per week, per stu
dent, the customary fee. yield reve-
nue. OF $4,000 per year. not counting
the fees from the summer school The
present building at Monmouth is en-
tlrely inadequate for a state Normal
School. and could be used TO good ad-
vantage by the school district for a
public school The people OF that
community have made great sacrifices
10 become an educational center, and
their public spirit should be recog-
nized in a liberal and progressive spir-
1t by the whole state. and encourage
them to make q an ideal school city
for the training OF school teachers 30

Board Of Regents as follows;

A family in Minnesota that now en-
Joys Postum would never have known
how good 1t 10 II tho mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the story:
I'VE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought homo .
package one evening Just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors. and in
fact every ono who used It, how well
they liked it.
We'll, the next morning Mother
brewed 1t about i've minutes. Just A.
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special At
tention to tho directions printed On
the package. It looked weak and
didn't have q very promising color. but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air Of exceptancy. 1t certain
ly did give him great surprise. but
I'm afraid 1t wasn't = very pleasant
ou0, lOT u0 put OOWu ulB cup VIII =

Mother wasn't discouraged though.
and next morning gave It another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boll-
ing began and then letting 1t boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all SO pleased with It
that We have used 1t ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptio
and a cup Of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks It any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and Is
actually growing fst. and I'm sure
Postum is the cause Of it. All the chill
