the southeastern, division from Amory
to Birmingham. The company proceeded
yesterday morning to employ the services
OF the telephone in handling trains and
official business.
Telephones were hastily installed in
some offices while the instruments for
t,legraphing were cut out of the various
buildings. 1t is stated that the Frisco
will follow it's policy of not employing
outsiders to take posts at telephones. To
this end it is stated that clerks, stenog-
rsphers. passenger department men and
others from the various departments have
been brought into service. In many IN
stances some rather youthful people have
been given tasks. 1t is also said that
youthful passenger men nave been tem7
porarily appointed assistant superinten-
dents for what purpose was not explained
by any of the officials.
AS far as Birmingham is concerned the
strike will have little If any effect here.
The number of men engaged in the work
locally is very small and their release
from duty will not effect the local offices
to any serious extent.

One Way To Keep Boys
On The Farm.

Has the small boy of the farm
a garden or acre of corn all his
own to do with as he desires? |
recently visited a well-to-do gar
dener all of whose boys were in
business with him and was in
terested to learn that he had
made it a practice to pay his boys
as good a salary as they could
get anywhere to work for him.
He began when each boy was
small and increased it as the boy
could earn more. Consequently
the boys learned the business
and have become a part of it,
until now they would not think
of leaving it. He has built a
business that he can turn over to
them with little fear of its going
to pieces for lack Of attention. =

STUDENTS TO ADMIT
PUBLIC OBLIGATIONS
Annual "Oregon Pledge" to
Return Full Value to State,
to Be Taken Next Month

University of Oregon, Eugene,
Sept. "a. Pledge Day" that
curious occasion upon which Uni
versity Of Oregon students agree
to return to the state in good
works their indebtedness to the
state for helping educate them,
will this year come early in Oc-
tober. Hiram Johnson, COVER
nor of California, is expected to
give the Pledge Day address.
The theory of Pledge Day is that
the taxpayer in maintaining the
state university is making an in
vestment in citizenship. The
student thus owes a debt of good
citizenship to the taxpayer, and
at Pledge Day he is made to real
ize a specific obligation. The
form of pledge used is this:
"As a student at the Univers-
ity that is maintained by the peo-
pie of Oregon, ! heartily acknow-
ledge the obligation | shall owe
to them. The opportunities open
to me here for securing training,
ideals and vision for life, ] deeply
appreciate and regard as a sacred
trust, and do hereby pledge my
honor that it shall be my most
cherished purpose to render as
bountiful a return to the Oregon
people and their posterity in
faithful and ardent devotion to
the common good as will be in
my power. 1t shall be the aim
of my life to labor for the high
est good and glory of an ever
greater commonwealth.
This pledge was originally
framed by a committee of the
faculty headed by President
Campbell.

How much are you going tc
get for your wheat? You can
get go to 65 cents a bushel cash
by delivering it at the warehouse
at once. But why not get $1.0O
or $1.20 for it? That is what it
will bring if fed and shipped
with hair on. Stock on the
farm brings profit in many ways.
1t enables the farmer to get far
more for his crop, and it pre-
vents the loss of soil fertility.
Go into any old section, and no
tice the difference between the
farms where stock is raised and
where it is not. Big crops on
smooth, we'll titled land, tidy
fences, good houses and large
barns are found in the stock dis
trict. The farmers live in com
fort, their children are educated
and the whole family is enjoying
all there is in life. Without stock
the crops are smaller, for the
land is becoming exhausted, the
home places look slovenly and
neglected. The farmer each year
bets he can beat the market and
generally he loses.
Put dairy COWS on the farm,
get a herd of hogs, and let them
pay your bills. They will put an
end to long time credits, enabling
you to buy cheap for cash, and
be Independent of everybody. -
