Bee Bill Before Legislature.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Dec. 20.-"The State Bee
kekepers Association of Oregon is
preparing a bill to present to the leg
islature, providing for the appoint
ment of state bee inspector" says
Prof. H. F. Wilson of the Oregon
Agricultural College, who is secre-
tary of the association. The purpose
of the bill is to check the advance of
the dread disease, foul brood, which
has wiped out the bee industry in
some sections of the country.
Foul brood, the worst disease to
which bees are subject, is a bacterial
trouble" says Prof Wilson. 1T at
tacks the larvae and destroys them
so that they never mature. In Cali
fornia it has destroyed entire apia-
rles OF 500 or more colonies. Ore
gon is thus afflicted in some dis
tri It's, and it is necessary t. provide
for its control before it becomes the
Henace to the bee industry that Cali
Iornia has found it."

Free Books for Farmers.

Many farmers are not aware that
the government publishes several
valuable books for free distribution.
The books are apportioned to SEN
ators and congressman, from whom
they can be obtained by merely ask
ing for them. Among the most use
full of these books are the Agricul-
tural Year Books, that for 1911 be-
ing the latest issued. The govern
ment also publishes very practical
book on Diseases of the Horse" and
another on Diseases of Cattle" and
Report of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry of special value to stock rails
ers.
Asking for copies of these books
does not place the citizen under any
obligations whatever to the senators
or congressman, as the books are
printed by the government and paid
for by the taxpayers. Many an Ore
gon farmer has cured sick horses and
cattle by following the directions in
the governments doctor books. If
you are interested send your request
to Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
Senator George e. Chamberlain.

PARCELS POST STAMPS
The New Stamps Are Twice the Size
of Those Regularly in Use
Heretofore.

The new parcels post stamps are
twice as large as the ones that have
been in regular use on the mails for
many years. The old stamps meas
ure one inch by three-quarters of an
inch, while the new parcels post
stamps are one by one and one-half
inches in dimensions.
All the postage paid" parcels post
stamps will be red, while the post
age due" stamps for the same class
of mail will be green. AS the regu-
lar mailing stamps have pictures of
celebrities in the nations history on
them, Washington and Lincoln, for
instance, the parcels post stamps will
have pictures of different branches
of the postal service and three of the
prominent industries of the nation.
The stamps are issued in denomi-
nations up to a dollar. and after one
has had the piece of mail weighed
he will stamp it very much as he
would pay with several different
coins for something of an odd price.
The pictures on the new stamps
are: One cent, postoffice clerk; 2
cents, city carrier; 3 cents, railway
postal clerk; cents, rural carriers;
. cents, mail train; 10 cents, steam
ship and mail tender; 10 cents, auto
service; 20 cents, aeroplane carrying
mail; 25 cents, manufacturing; so
cents, dairying; rs cents, harvest
ing; 81, fruit growing.
The stamps are being sent out by
the government now, and the local
postoffice will have a full supply of
them by the first of the year.

Free Catch of Fish Due to Dynamite.

Free Catch of Fish Due to Dynamite.
Portland, Dec. 14.-The bottom is
expected to drop clear out of the
local fish market for several days
here, following the granting of per-
mission by the county commissioners
to the contractors on the old rail-
road bridge to blow up the remain
ing piers of the bridge in the William
cite river.
The run of carp, salmon, trout and
other varieties is especially heavy
at this season of the year, and an
awful slaughter of the fish is sure
to result when the piers are shot sky
ward.
In fact, the expected fish mortal
ity drew the attention of the state
game warden to the blasting, and he
also granted permission. Thousands
of Portlanders are expected to "get
in" on the big free catch.

derstand that woman played as i'm
portant a part in public affairs
then as now, although mainly with
out vOlition on her part. All that
was demanded of her was to take
exceeding pains not to throw any
shadow on the pathway of her ia
ther-in-law's ambition. But woe
TO her if he happened to cast his :
eyes upon some other woman who,
in the character of his sons wife,
would forward his purposes better
than she could!
But there is another side to the
picture. With all her submission
to the irresponsible will of the ia

marital virtues. At the mention
of her we think instinctively of

VERY thoughtful reader must
T. be greatly interested by the
discussion in Hearsts Mag
azine for July Of The New Woman
and the Old" 1t is a subject which
touches the most intimate relations
Of the two sexes of mankind, and
is concerned with the basis of their
happiness on earth.
Ferrero takes as typical Of the
woman of old Roman matrons, and
his exhaustive historical knowledge
enables him to make some state
ments which win, undoubtedly, sur
prise many readers who have not
given much attention to such
studies. He brings out in startling
contrast the difference between the
conditions Of married couples in an
cient Rome and in modern civilized
nations
In Rome ii was her father law
that the bride had to please rather
than her husband. The father Of
the bridegroom had the power, at
any time after the marriage, to dis
solve its bonds in case, for any rea-
son, social or political, he were dis
satisfied with the bride Then he
could compel his son TO take an
other wife more to his (the ia
thers) liking.
Often it was no personal objec-
ton that the father-in- had to
his sons wife, but merely some
reason Of policy, which led him to
exercise this tyrannical right He
would do it for what he thought
was the advantage Of the family as
a whole, or for his own sole advan-
tage and safety.

took almost as much interest in
the commonwealth as if she had
been a free agent in managing it.
But she was not personally much
occupied with affairs outside her
family circle. Spinning, weaving,
the supervision of the children and
the household-these were the
things that occupied her time, If
she were not frivolous in mind,
and her habitually faithful per-
Torrance of such duties has given
her imperishable renown and made
her a model in history.
The modern woman" has a diff
ferent ambition. She wants to COM
pete with her brothers, and even
with her husband, in things which
in ancient Rome were regarded as
peculiarly the business of men--as
they have continued to be gener-
ally regarded in all civilized lands
since Rome became only a grand
memory. Literary activity is not
included in these, nor works of
charity and morality. She is
dashing rider, a bicyclist, an auto
driver. an aerOplanist, a public
speaker, a laborer in a thousand
occupations, and every day she does
many things which would have
caused a great scandal in Rome.

Modern Woman Has
Made Herself Interesting.

Thus the modern woman has
made herself interesting from a
great number of new viewpoints,
but there are those who question
whether she will appear as admir-
able on the pages of history as
does the single minded Roman ma
iron. The modern woman has di-
vided the interest Of the opposite
sex, whereas the Roman woman
kept 1t concentrated But the sum
total Of the interest she eXCites can
not be increased through such di-
vision. That total was fixed at a
maximum by nature when it de-
creed the existence of the two sexes.
And so again there will be doubt
ers who viii question whether in
the subdivision Of interest. as af-
feCting herself. the modern woman
gains anything in the end. Some
win even go so far as to suggest
that the final effect of the division
will be a loss-just as the many
faCeted eye of the fly is a less effec-
tive organ of vision than the sin
gle set of lenses that fills the HUI
man orbit. In other words, the
question is whether the attraction
and the power of woman are not
stronger when exercised as a unit,
that unit being simple womanliness,
than when they are spread over a
broader field and penetrate what
many regard as alien regions.
These, at any rate, are questions
Of the highest Importance with
which we are imperatively called
upon to deal, and everybody ought
to give to them his utmost powers
Of observation and reason.
