Spokane always signed documents,

print. When Frazee negotiates lit
tie loan at the court house he has
the lender write out a note, payable
on certain date, then he pours out
a little ink on a blotter, smears his
thumb in it and solemnly makes his
thumb print on the document in lieu
of his signature. "Alawys can tell
who sign EN-" he says. "No make
mistake. White men and banks
should do. Indians long time sign
with thumb prints before white man
came. Only one man same thumb

Family History
Breaks Record

Washington, d. c., Oct. 6.-By
unanimous consent the most unusual
family record ever discovered by the
pension office is divulged in a letter
from man, who is one of triplets.
He had 22 twin brothers and sisters,
whose mother was one of twins and
whose fathers first two wives we're
twin sisters. The owner of this un-
usual family record is DR.. William
Warren, 1016 Locust street, st.
Joseph, Mo-, the only survivor of a
family of 25, and one of 13 sons
who served during the civil war in
the Union army.
The provisions of the new pension
law requiring certified information
as to the date of birth, in order to
fix the amount of the age pension
caused the pension office to write
DR.. Warren for his family history.
In stating his inability to find exact
information in the family Bible as
to the date of his birth, DR.. Warren
made this reply to the pension COM
missioner's office:
II do not know whether there was
a family record of the births of all
my fathers children, of whom there
we're 25 by three wives, who were
sisters. The first two wives were
twins, and the third wife was one of
twins. My mother had triplets,
three boys, of whom l was one. She
had no other children. All the other
wives children were twins. BY the
three wives there were 13 boys, all
of whom were soldiers. All of the
25 children are dead but l."
DR.. Warren was given his pension
increase.

Duck Season
Now Uniform

If you bagged a fine canvasback
duck October l when you went shoot
ing for quail you needn't have
sneaked it into the house by dark,
for the duck season opened up Octo-
Der 1 throughout the United States,
although there weren't ten hunters
who knew it.
State Game and Fish Warden Fin
ley received a wire that day from
Washington, d. c., announcing that
President Wilson has signed the reg
ulations of the biological survey
committee of the Department of Ag-
riculture, fixing uniform laws
throughout the United States in re-
gard to the protection of migratory
birds.
The bill, known as the migratory
bird BILL" was passed and signed on
March 4, the present year, by Presi-
dent Wilson, and by the placing of
his signature on the regulations rec
commended by the survey committee,
the bill became law.
"The new federal law, making all
states uniform, will be of great as
sistance to us in enforcing our game
laws" said Finley. "It will also
make the offense of shooting out of
season much more severe, as the
cases will be brought before the fed
eral courts. There is another vital
change in the laws that the hunters
will have to watch out for. The fed
eral law provides that the shooting
of migratory birds may be carried
on between sunrise and sunset. The
Oregon law provided that the hunter
could go out an hour before sunrise
and an hour after sunset"
Finley has been asked to name six
federal wardens to act in this state.
They will be chosen from his present
staff and work in cooperation with
the state commission.

HIGH SCHOOL
Various Notes That Tell of Activi.
ties in the Realm of the
Three RS.

The debate meeting was very poor
ly attended Wednesday evening, but
a society has been organized and
rapid progress is expected. The next
meeting will be held Monday after
school.
The Wednesday morning program
was composed of the regular mid
week discourse delivered by V. o. N.
Smith, a representative of one of the
local banks, and well-given and
well-applauded violin solo by Miss
Scott. Mr. Smiths talk was on the
subject of saving; not stinginess, but
economic, intelligent saving. In de-
filming saving Mr.. Smith says that it
is neither economy nor industry, but
is included along with industry and
economy in the single word thrift.
In stating the need of saving he
quoted number of imported luxur-
les which cost America a quarter of
a million dollars yearly. 1t is not
the high cost of living that bothers
most people, but rather the cost of
high living. In concluding Mr.. Smith
told Of the origin of the bank and
gave the students the great secret
of success: "Be ready when the op-
portunity comes"
A special student association meet
ing was called Thursday afternoon
to consider the adoption Of perma-
nent pin for the high school, each
class to have the year of graduation
printed on their respective class pins.
1t is planned to have a good, durable
pin with a figure of a lone pine to
represent that solitary pine which
stands guard over the high school.
In getting these pins the students
will be able to get a good class pin
for reasonable price since they will
be a great deal cheaper if the school
or even whole class decides to ac-
cept them. A committee composed
of the class presidents has been chos-
en- to select the pin.
A few of the faithful spectators
witnessed very interesting football
game last Thursday between a team
representing the high school and an
other team which Ed Dews charac-
terizes as combination of has-beens,
going-to-bes, and as-it-weres. This
team was represented by S. P. en-
ployes, alumni, and part of the high
school squad, and which included
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-10-06

such stars as Ed Dews, Clyde Brown,
Lynn Mowat and the high school
backfield, positions we'll taken care
of by Bob Spencer, Charles Delsman,
Neal Shing aDa Harvey Gumaer.
Brick Moody officiated and had the
game we'll in hand while he was not
running with the ball.
The regular gathering of the foot
ball squad took place Wednesday
nights and parts of the rules were
read and studied in order to prepare
the participants for a quiz which will
be given in the near future.
The girls interested in basketball
met to prepare for the basketball
season Friday.
The first football game of the sea-
son will be played on the high school
grounds between the high school and
alumni teams next Saturday after
noon. The alumni are confident of
taking the game, but the high school
boys are hard at work and expect to
give the former Ashland stars hard
rub.

A 25-Year-Old Hen That Laid 1900
Eggs.

"A @O~A CdI-Olu IIcu AlHtC Lttlu S,OOU
Eggs.
Farm and Fireisde includes in the
poultry department of it's current is
sue an account of a remarkable hen
owned by the woman who writes the
article. This woman, Elizabeth Grin
nell, tells in part, as follows, the his
tory of this hen-a hen which in the
25 years of it's life laid approximate
ly $500 eggs:
Il bought this hen in 1890 for half
dollar. She was just a plebian
yellow hen, without family or reput-
ed pedigree. Is she young?' l asked
of the seller. She's not old; she's
laying was the reply.
81 scanned her feet, as a buyer
does horses mouth, to guess her
age. l concluded she had seen a
couple of summers or more. !
therefore believe her to be at the
time of her death, 1913, about 25
years of age. She made good her
reputation as fair layer
"She began to fail in strength
when about ten years old. But she
kept on laying and rearing her
broods. That is, she laid irregularly
until in 1911 she produced but four
eggs, and in 1912 one egg only. Her
eggs had ceased to be fertile for sew
eral years, or after she began to look
old. Not that she herself lost the
mating instinct, but that she was no
longer pleasing to more youthful ad-
mirers of the biddy world. The cock
of the yard would sidle toward this
aged person with the usual demon
strations of tender feeling and then
suddenly sneak away.
"She was a useful member of So
ciety. She would mother any brood
from quail to turkeys, at any age
offered, even after she was too Grip
pied to scratch for them. In her
later years a brood of young fowls
was always given her in the autumn
to insure her safe passage through
the winter. These chickens thought
the mother hen lowered them and
were satisfied with the warmth al
ways obtained by cuddling; but it
was the vitality of the young which
kept the old alive. For some years
it was impossible for her to squat
or to bend the knees; she simply lay
flat on one side, and the chicks bur-
rowed in her feathers. Her appe-
tite failed for food other than whole
yellow corn"
