COLLEGE GRADUATES
GET TO THE FRONT

In a chapel speech yesterday morn
INK in which he urged the students to
complete their college course, Prof
J, T. Matthews, who occupies the
chair CT mathematics at the univer-
sity, stated that according to recently
compiled statistics, although only 2
per cent Of the population of the Uni
ted States finished their college
course out Of this number came 1900
OF the 10000 men who hold the emf
nent positions Of the nation.
He staetd further that out of every
40 college graduates, one rises to en-
lrence' while only one out Of every
100000 rise to eminent positions
lie thoroughly impressed upon his
audience that although some may slip
and slide through college. the men
who hold the important places are
as a general thing, those who have
secured good, thorough college edu-
cation.

RICE CAN BE GROWN
SUCCESSFULLY ON COAST

That rice can be grown successfully
on a commercial scale, in California
and on the Pacific coast has been DEM
onstrated by the first crop now being
harvested near Riverdale, in the Sac
ramento valley From officials Of the
Southern Pacific company, 1t Is
learned that the 1900 acres planted
early this spring are yielding 5000
pounds per acre, or 375O0 tons for the
district. This crop is a new one for
California, and adds an important pro-
duct to the already long agricultural
list Of the West
The black adobe soil Of the valley,
under irrigation, has been found very
favorable for the culture Of a variety
of Japanese rice known as "Watar-
bune."
The seed Is planted in March, The
land is cut up into squqares sur
rounded by dikes After the young
plant has attained a height Of 12 to
IA inches, the areas are flooded to a
depth Of to 6 inches, and kept wet
until the growth is mature, usually
the first week in September. The
water is then drawn off and the
ground left to dry for 10 days, so that
it may support the threshing ma
chimes.
The rice is hulled and polished,
when 1t is ready for market. About
II per cent Of the output is pure rice.
The balance runs into by-products,
such as cracked bran and rice. The
stalks are used for stock food. 1t is
said that the growers are selling the
pure rice for two cents pound {. o. b.

UNCLE SAM CREATES
REFUGEES FOR WILD BIRDS

About nine years ago Uncle Sam
became actively interested in the pro-
lection Of wild birds. This interest
was brought about because of various
species Of game birds, as well as
song and insect-eating birds, were de-
creasing rapidly, while insect pests
were increasing in immense numbers.
Uncle Same has recently estimated
that the annual loss to agricultural
and horticultural interests in this
country amounts to $l2O,1OOOOO.
The national Association Of Audu-
bon Societies, which was organized for
the protection Of wild birds and ami
mails, began the campaign a number
OF years ago to get cartain refugees or
retreats, where no hunting or killing
beneficial birds was allowed at any
season of the year
The first national wild bird reserva-
tion was set aside March 4, 1903, by a
special proclamation of the president.
Since that time 55 other reservations
have been created solely for the pro-
lection Of wild birds. These embrace
rocky islands, sand beaches, lakes,
marshes and other places that are of
no agricultural value, reaching from
Florida to Alaska and over to the
Hawaiin islands. Many of these are
the ancestral breeding places of birds.
some of which are almost exterminat-
ed by plume hunters.
The largest and best national wild
bird reservations are on the Pacific
coast" said Mr. William l.. Finley
state game warden for Oregon, who
has, during the past year, succeeded
IN getting large number of smaller
game refugees in various parts of his
staet, zone Of our government reser-
Vauons includes a vast area of the
ueeless tundra at the mouth of the
Yukon river, in Alaska. Another in
cludes Lower klamath Lake. in North
em California ana Southern Oregon
and third includes Malheur and Har-
ney Lake in Southeastern Oregon
These three act as immense nurseries
where untold thousands of ducks
geese and other wild fowl are reared
each year Uncle Same has estab-
Iished strict laws for the protection of
these wild birds on the reservations
and employs special wardens to see
mat these laws are enforced.
"A few years ago Mrs. Russell Sage
became greatly interested in the work
accomplished by the Audubon societies

GRIFFITH SAYS
 RED S0X WILL
 DEFEAT GIANTS

Clark Griffith. manager of the Washington Senators, believes that the Boston Red sox will win the worlds series. He says:
 The Boston Red sox one of the smoothest baseball machines ever out of the first five games from the New Yorw Giants in the coming worlds series.
 Amy way you look at it stahrs the baseball map. In the box, in the field, and with the stick the Red Sox are superior. In base running alone they do not entirely outclass their op- ponents. and, as I will show later, this feature of the game does not cut much figure in worlds series battles.
 The Giants have just one pitcher in whom they have sufficient conf dence to win such series, namely Mathewson. The Red Six have more confidence than any team I have ever come across, no matter who is in the box for them for them.
 And they sure have a Stan that merits confidence. Wood, Hall, O'Brien and Collins are all equal to the task turning them back True, McGraw has Marquart, but say what you will, the Giants do not play behind him as they do with Matty. This old boy is still right up in the front rank, but he is not so strong as he was few years ago.
 ''The constant strain of many sea- sons has worn away the reserve and now when Christy's best offerings are bumped he cannot rely on sheer speed to recover his equilibrium. Wood and the other Boston stars can, and there in lies their invaluable advantage.
 T do not think Marquard will beat the champions a little bit, while Tes- reau, whom have never seen, but who, from all accounts must be a real pitcher has not had the exper- fence to stand the terrific strain of such a series, although he may come through and surprise the critics.
 The same holds true in the case of Bedient for the Boston team. He is a grand twirler. but Buck OfBrfen on the other hand though young to the league, has had the baseball ex- perience to bear up against it. I ex- pect though that the brunt of the will fall the shoulders of Hall and Wood. The former is a. bear for work, does not know what it is to be afraid and is at his best in tight places.
 Wood I cansider to be equaI1ed by only one man now pitching-Walter Johnson It would not surprise me a little bit to see oe Wood win three games in the first four days of the contests.
 Speaker, to my mind, will be an- other stumbling block for McGraw. He player who will live up to his previous and perhaps surpass it. in 3 worlds series.
 Cobb and Hans Wagner and other neadliners have faded and fallen down, but take it from me Spoke will be through. He is a natural batter in game for the love of it and the big ger the crowd and the greater the ex- ,itement the better he goes."
