THE COLLEGE ON WHEELS.
Agricultural Train Has Begun It's
Fourth Annual Georgia Tour.

Agricultural Train Has Begun It's
Fourth Annual Georgia Tour.
The states agricultural college
on Wheels" as the demonstration
train is called, has begun it's fourth
annual tour of Georgia. The tour
this year is planned to be more am
bilious than any that has preceded
it. Heretofore it has been found nee
essary to limit the stop of the train
at any given point to few hours.
On the present tour it is proposed
that each stop shall be one, two or
three days, according to circum-
stances. That will afford time for
the lecturers to go over their sub
jects thoroughly, skimping no essen
tial feature of the matters they talk
about.
An effort is to be made to double
the number of boys corn clubs in
the state, or even improve upon that.
There were ninety-six of the clubs
last year, and they gave a mighty
fine account Of themselves. There
ought to be around 200 of the clubs
this year, with increased enthusiasm
among the boys. Prof. Campbell is
to have personal charge of the or
ganization of the boys corn clubs.

A DANGEROUS SNAKE.
The Diamond Rather of the South
Is q Vicious Reptile.

Aho DIdIuOnu ESaUJlef OF the South
Is a Vicious Reptile.
Chief of the viper kingdom in the
South is the diamond rattlesnake.
Ordinarily a jingling sound is not an
unpleasant thing, but when it comes
from seven feet of serpent armed
with the sharpest of fangs with els
terms of liquid poison at their base
the music does not seem cheerful or
inspiring. The diamond rattlesnake
has a brownish-colored coat plaided
with light lines in diamOnd-shaped
blocks. 1t moves quietly along, it's
wicked little eyes seeming to emit
a greenish light and shine with as
much brilliancy as any jewel. Moth
ing seems to escape its observation,
and on the slightest movement near
ut it swings into its fighting attitude.
raising it's upper jaw and erecting
It's fangs, which, in a state of repose,
lie closely packed in the soft mus
cles Of its mouth. This snake is not
so active as it's copperhead cousin of
the north, nor so quick to strike, but
one blow is almost always fatal. Its
fangs are so long that they penetrate
deep into the muscles and veins of
it's victim.
In one instance the measurement
OF diamond rattler's fangs showed
them to be seven-eighths of an inch
IN length, and though not thicker
than common sewing needle yet
perforated with a hole through
which the greenish-colored LIQUID
could be forced in considerable
quantities, and in the case mention
ed each of the sacs contained about
half a teaspoonful.

Soap.

Soap is an article which is rubbed
on the human frame so that people
can tell each other from the tree
climbing chimpanzee. There are two
kinds of soap-hard and soft In
the early days of the republic every
body used the most prehensie soap
ever invented, and it was used main
ly to rinse naughty words out of the
mouths of small boys, by whom it
was considered great delicacy
There is a good deal of soft soap
still in use, most of which is paid
for at regular advertising rates and
is used in the manufacture of politi-
cal, social and ecclesiastical halos
this kind of soap, which contains a
new brand of lye. The hard soap
era was ushered in about the time
the porcelain bathtub was discov-
cred. This was in the fall of 1869,
when the cisterns OF a patriotic peo-
pie were choked with soft maple
leaves, and a great many citizens
found it hard to distinguish between
a rich quality of cistern water and
the soft soap then in use. So it be-
came fashionable to bathe every few
weeks, and the demand for soap has
increased amazingly, until now it can
be found in almost every home. A
cake of sea-green soap in a lavender
wrapper, breathing the breath of vio-
lets and cottonseel oil, adds touch
OF refinement to the humblest abode.
Some people buy soap for ornamen-
tai purposes and ere careful not to
overwork it, while others are reck-
less in its use and emerge from the
morning scrub with pink and white
complexion of a barber pole. The
American Indian seldom buys any
soap for his own use, but the Esqui-
mau consumes large quantities of it
as a substitute fo' dessert On the
whole, it may be safely said that
more soap could be used to consider
able advantage without hurting any
bodys feelings.

Who Can Trap Quail?

Several attempts have been made
by the state game warden, William
l.. Finley, to buy Bob White quail in
the eastern states, for liberating in
certain parts of Oregon. The Bob
White is a very desirable bird, how
ever, and other states are guarding
carefully the supply they now have.
Some sections of Oregon are already
pretty fairly stocked with Bob White
quail. Other sections are stocked
with California and Mountain quail.
I'VE can easily stock almost all
parts of our state with these differ
ent varieties of quail" said Mr.. Fin
ley, "if we can secure reliable parties
to trap the birds and ship them un-
der our directions. We are anxious
to get in touch with anyone who is
in position to trap quail We are
willing to pay for the birds, and shall
arrange to have them sent either to
the state game farm at Corvallis or
direct to the places where we want
to liberate them.
In parts of the Willamette val
ley and in sections of eastern Oregon
Bob White quail are abundant.
These birds will thrive well in south
ern Oregon, and the people in that
part of the country are anxious to
have them introduced. In southern
Oregon the California or Valley quail
are abundant, and yet we have none
of these birds in the Willamette val
ley, although they would thrive here
and make a splendid addition to our
supply of game birds"
Both the California quail and Bob
White quail are insect and weed seed
eaters. They are not only excellent
game birds, but are most valuable
birds from the economic standpoint
about any farming community.
i. is strictly against the law to
trap any game birds in the state of
Oregon, yet the state game warden
can by special written permit grant
this privilege for semitic and prop
agation purposes.

Dallas Shriners Will Show the
Brothers What Southern Hos
pitality Means.

arations this week for two big
Shrine parades for Tuesday, May 13,

of Shrinedom escort the officers of
the Imperial Divan to the Dallas
Opera House, where the Imperial
Council meetings will be held. The
line of march takes in Commerce
and Main streets, two of the main
business thoroughfaTes of the city.
Hotels Oriental and Adolphus, head
quarters for the Imperial Council
are located on Commerce, and it is
here that the Imperial officers will
join the escort. 1t is estimated that
70 patrols and as many bands will
participate in this big gathering.
Imperial Potentate William J. Cum
ningham of Baltimore, Md, will re-
view the parade at the Opera House.
At night the city will be elabo-
rately decorated for the big spectac-
ular pageant, which features each
Imperial Council. The patrols will
form at the big military encampment
at Fair Park, where the hotel and
housing committee will arrange
splendid accommodations for 5000.
Smoothly paved streets of either as
phalt, bitulithic OF creosoted blocks.
from Fair Park to the business dis
tricts, promise to be one of the most
agreeable features of the parade
with those participating Four and
one-half miles is the distance of the
line of march. Street cars will be
assembled in the business districts
to convey the patrols and bands back
to Fair Park, where a big smoker
and entertainment will be given in
their honor.
The method of procedure adopted
at Los Angeles as to roping off the
streets and providing adequate police
supervision in keeping back the
crowd salong the line of march will
be followed out in this city. Major
E. H. Roach, grand marshal of the
parade, was in attendance at the Los
Angeles meeting and was enthusias-
! tic in his commentator Of the ar
rangement made there in this re-
spect.
Every street from Fair Park to the
| business portion of Dallas will be
brilliantly illuminated. The latest
in illumination devices, strings OF
incandescents and every other fea-
ture will be utilized in this respect.
