BOYS AND GIRLS
AID SOCIETY

AID SOClEIH
The Boys and Girls Aid Society
of Or egon is doing state wide
work. Every dollar it receives for
maintenance goes for that purpose,
but it's scope has to be governed by
its receipts. Marion county has con-
tributed it's share of delinquents and
dependents to the society and many
Of the children committed have
turned out we'll. Superintendent
Gardner calls to mind some of the
older cases and among them young
girl who was taken from her father
against whom serious allegations had
been made. This girl is now mar
ried, has two children and is pros
pering, her husband holding a good
position in another town. One Of
the most notable commitments from
Marion county and perhaps one Of
the most notable throughout the en-
tire state was that of five children
taken by legal procedure from their
father by the society. This case was
investigated by the superintendent
personally, who found the family
living not far from the railroad track
in the city of Salem. The shack was
composed of two rooms, one used as
bedroom and the other as kitch-
en- and dining room. The family con-
sisted of a boy IA, girl II, a girl

found that this family all slept in
the one dirty bedroom. The father

an advance of liza per cent. in the

an advance of 117.4 per cent. in the
value of all land in farms.
OF the factors contributing to this
increase in the average value Of land
the most important is doubtless that
of advancing farm prices of agricultu-
raj products. This has increased the
income-producing power Of the farm
and correspondingly Influenced the
selling price or value Of farm land. 1t
is probable also that in calculating
the value Of farm lands 1t has become
customary to capitalize the income
producing power at a lower rate of in
terest than formerly. This might be
true, despite the fact that interest,"
rates in general have probably not
fallen, because Of the reduction in the
risk of the farming business.
Another important factor operative
in increasing the total and average
value of farm land throughout the
United States has been the cost Of i'm
proving what was previously unim-
proved land.
In connection with the increase in
the average value Of farm land, 1t is
interesting to note the fact that in
the last decade, as for many decades
previously, there has been a much
more rapid increase in urban than In
rural population.

During the last year, 1t Is said at

Wood. chief of staff Of the army, has
refused to permit a lieutenant OF the

about to be married. He, however,
granted the young man a three months

source $4,000 900 profit, which repre-
sents ten per cent. Of the entire al
nual receipts from all sources.
But despite the revenue the Cuban
government is seriously contemplating
gradual abolition Of the lottery in view
of the m weight of evidence
to show that 1t is impoverfshing the

OLD GUN FACTORY
One of the Many Historic Places
in Pennsylvania.
Where the Henrys Manufactured
Small Arms for the War OF 1872
and Later for the
Civil War;.

Nazareth, Pa.-One Of the most his
torical places in eastern Pennsylvania
is the Henry gun factory about three
miles northeast of here. 1t was here
hat the Henrys manufactured rifles,
muskets and pistols for the war Of
1912, for the Civil war and for the
North American Fur company, OF
which John Jacob Astor was at one
time president.
Ever since the Henrys came to
America from England, they have
been identified more or less with gov
eminent service, either as soldier,
statesman or manufacturer or arms.
The first Of the Henrys in this country
was Hon. William Henry of Lancaster.
There he established a factory for the
making Of firearms in 1852. His mus
kets and rifles were in demand during
the Revolutionary war, and he could
hardly make them fast enough. He was
in charge of small arms during the
Braddock and Forbes expeditions In
the French and Indian wars. He was
present at the attack of Fort Du.
quesne. During the battle he saved
the life Of the Delaware Indian chief.
Killbuck. According to an Indian GUS
tom, Henry and the chief exchanged
names. 1t Is said that to this very day
the Killbuck family retain the name OF
Henry as the middle name. both male
and female. William Henry was also
active in the Revolution as deputy
quartermaster general and superintend-
ent Of arms and military a%ccoutre-
ments. When Gen. Mad" Anthony
Wayne was contemplating the attack
on Stony Point, he sent word to Will
liam Henry to hurry up those guns
In 1884 and 1855 Henry was also a con.
gresham.
His son, William Henry, Jr, came to
Nazareth in 1880 and entered into a
contract with the state Of Pennsyl.

vania and the United States govern
ment for the manufacture of muskets.
He built a small factory at Nazareth,
but the water power was poor and the
demand for muskets much greater
than the supply. 1t was to facilitate
this work that he built the Henry gun
factory at Bolton, about three miles
northeast of Nazareth. 1t is situated
in one of the most delightful spots
along the Bushkill creek, formerly
known by the Indian name, Lehicton.
This was in 1912, when the govern
ment was pressing the factory with or
ders for the war then waging. A few
years later the works passed into the
hands Of his sons, William Henry third
and John Joseph Henry. They jointly
conducted the business till 1922. when
the latter became the sole owner.
The fame of the Henry rifle had
spread along the whole frontier, and
when John Jacob Aston organized the
North American Fur company he or
dered all his supply of rifles from the
Henry factory. The rifles were to be
of a certain style and the Henrys had
the only factory at that time hat could
furnish them. Ramsey Crooks, after
wards president of the North Amer
lean Fur company, was sent there by
Astor to order the supply and person
ally compliment the gun manufacture
ers upon the satisfaction given by
these rifles.
The manufacture Of these rifles
ceased when the fur trade died out

many rifles and pistols were manufac-
tured by the Henrys for the militia Of

Captain Geddus has been skipper Of

years, three Of which have been at

this service he has often made as high
as $500 miles a month cruising and
has assisted in several good captures.
He recommends a fast cutter and two

Population Gains Faster Than Farms
CENSUS Director Durand has given

CENSUS Director Durand has given
~ out an important statement from
the bureau of census containing ad-
ditional figures and details Of the agr1-
cultural statistics of continental Unit
ed States collected April Is, 1910.
During the ten years which followed
the census Of 1900 the population of
the United States increased Fl per
cent, but the number Of farms did not
keep pace with the increase in popu-
lation. From 5,737,372, in 1900. the
number grew to 6,340,357, an increase
of COZ, 1856. or 1915 per cent. For the
whole United States this is the lowest
rate Of increase which has been noted
since the number of farms was first
recorded in 1850. The increase in the
total acreage devoted to agriculture
was only 35,137,00 acres, Or AZ per
cent. The actual area in farms vas

In striking contrast with the slow
growth in the number and acreage of
farms and the area of improved lane
during the ten years is the enormous
rise which has come about in the value
of farm property. Farm land, exclu-
