for premium should be grouped to-

hibitors should be careful to secure
copies Of the regulations under which
the fruit they enter will be displayed,
and then as carefully follow them.
The aim of the fair as well as that
of the exhibitor should be quality, and
not quantity. A small fair of high
class produce we'll arranged is more
ereditable and has more educational
value than a much larger far of poor

also arouse more community pride and
\ inspire more effort to excel.
Apples and pears should be exhibit
ed in plates of five-no more and no
less. 1t would be wAl to take more
han five to the fair so that in case
one of the exhibition specimens is
damaged it can readily be replaced. OF
peaches and plums more than five
specimens are allowed, but not more
than twelve should be put into one ex

PURITY OF FARM WATER OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE.

T-HE FARM WATER supply is one
Of the most important factors IN
the general health Of the family,
writes T. d. Beckwith, professor OF
baetcriology at the Oregon Agrieul'
,ural College. The supplies Of the city
are usually purer than those oil the
farm because they are better guarded
from reproducing bacteria. Per-
sons who drink infected water are like
ly to contract the particular disease
caused by the kinds Of germs present
in the water. Hence the need OF keep
ing the water pure.
Water is never impure however 70
far as the bacterial content is concern
ed, unless there is some source OF con-
taminatiou. Most diseases arc caused
by some form ot germ, and tho germs
never generate Spontaneously. II prop
er provision against this eontamina'
.tion is provided by some effective
means. the health Of the family will be
greatly increased.
Deep wells pass through an impervi-

Of the well below the surface of the
ground. II the deep well, which Is
supplied with water that has Travelled
considerable distance, is well eased up
so that there is no surface percolation,
the water will generally be quite pure,
since il has been filtered through
many miles Of soil. The water in shall
low wells is quite likely to be con-
taminated with the kind of disease

WINS GOOD POSITION.

UoHN MARTIN, an o. A. c. gradu-
u ate Of 1914, has been appointed
to position in the cereal crop
investigation branch OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture. He
has been assigned to cereal breeding,
crop rotation and seed selection work
in the experiment station at Newell
South Dakota, at n salary of 81 ,44O per
year. He won this prize position BY
his ability as student, his experience
on the farm in summer and in seed
store in winter, and his splendid show
ing in the competitive examination.
His average grades throughout the four
years Of his college work was almost
95. In the Federal examination he
met 10 competitors from many diff.
ferent parts Of the country, and was
one of the 30 to make passing grade,
being one Of the very highest. lie pre-
pared for college and for his bright
career in the schools of Albany and in
the farming and merchantile industries
Of that section.

also unusually strong and of very
drying character. The rainfall for
months is indicated by the first set Of
of figures below, and departure from
the normal is shown by the second Of
each pair of numbers;
Rainfall for January, 1l.4s inches,

The average temperature for each

II is thus seen that the moisture de
fieieney even for the months of july
and August is but very slight. Incl
dentally, the report shows the need OF
irrigation since the normal rainfall ol
July is but little more than quarter
of an inch, and for August less than

more profitable this year than in th'

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN.

N OF ONLY does the School of Home
~ Economics of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College offer opportunities
for the Young women of Oregon, but
in almost every department in the in.
stitution something will be found of
interest to women. The School of Com
meree gives splendid training in stenog-
raphy and typewriting, in bookkeeping
and business methods, including ac-
counting and office methods, aud every
year many young women are found pur-
suing this line of study.
The department Of Industrial Peda-
gogy, training teachers especially for
supervising and teaching the industrial
subjects now rapidly taking their
places in the public schools, offers at
traetive and thoroughly efficient work
for students who are ambitious to help
in the leadership of industrial eduea-
tion throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The call of outdoor life is being in
creasingly felt by women, and as a
consequence the various courses in the
School of Agriculture, especially Ger.
tain phases of horticulture, poultry
husbandry, and dairying. are attracting
women who are broad-minded and pro
gressive. Pharmacy, requiring, as il
does, neatness and accuracy, is espe.
eially suitable for women, and many
have found that this course, immediate
ly following its completion, leads to de
sirable positions. A fine feeling OF
fellowship exists between all the girl:
in college, regardless of the course il
which they are enrolled, and all ar,
alike interested in student activities.
The Oregon Agricultural College, il
short, is eoedueational in the larges
sense of the word. Women on tn,
faculty and women as students fine
here no limitations upon the larges
exercise of their talents and their in
dividuality.

driest year the valley has known
for many years, the actual rainfall is

EGG RECORD STANDS.

efRT THIS MOMENT million
~ hens are in training to beat
that record" said an eastern
poultry journal few months ago in
speaking of the record Of 303 eggs in
year made by the o. A. c. hen C52l.
From reports of the two laying compe-
titions at the Missouri and Connecti'
cut stations, it now looks as though
the record may not be beaten this
year On August first no hen had made
a record equaling the Oregon hen and
it hardly seems possible now that any
of them can overtake her.

THE State Art Commission Of Min
nesota is fostering arts and crafts
- f,r,, bomnc

SHE State Art Commission Of Min
nesota is fostering arts and crafts
in farm homes.
Few, save those who have expert
enced it can realize the loneliness and
mental starvation of the average life
on the farm, especially in isolated
localities, and anything which will miti-
gate this should receive attention. 1t
is useless to lament the drift of the
rising generation from the farm to the
city, unless some practical means can
be found of making life on the farm
more attractive. When creative genius
comes into play, as it does in crafts
manship, or in any sort of artistic de-
velopment, time ceases TO pass slowly,
for self and surroundings are forgotten.
The State Art Commission Of Mime
sofa was first put to work as an art
club, which became statewide in its
activities and was finally placed un-
der the government and given an ap-
propriation for use in the distribution
Of circulating art libraries and for
prizes to encourage the development OF
artistic genius.
It was discovered that among the
foreigners in many localities the arts
and crafts of older countries were re-
tanned among the older members of the
family, but such activities were falling
into disuse for lack of encouragement
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-15

The Art Commission made it point
to encourage the revival Of weaving,
lace making and basket weaving along
the old country lines and stimulated the
interest of the workers by placing be-
fore them new designs and better ma
terials than they had been using
When the outside world took an in
tcrest in the activities of the olders,
tho rising generation began to find the
work worth while, and as a result
there are few idle hands in villages or
in country communities where such in
terests have been encouraged. Farm
life has been enriched, talents have
been discovered and industry developed
in several fields through tie work Of
this commission.
An increased revenue for the farm by
reason of the spare time products is
one result; and the encouragement of
better grades Of flax for weaving goes
to show that when betterment begins
it follows all along the line.
Aside from material benefits, how
ever, the fact that life has been made
more bearable to the women living on
the farms is the main issue. 1t was
said at one time that the insane asy
lums wers filled with women from the
farms. Loneliness and monotony arc
the food of mental unbalance. Either

Col. Weller J.. StoVcr,
Chairman finance committee City

Dear sir; Judge James w. Lat
tomus of the Juvenile Court OF this
city has addressed letter TO City
Council asking Tor a remuneration
for his services as a city official.
While the Juvenile court law as
enacted does not provide for salary
for the Judge vet we believe that
some such provision Should be made
for him by the city as has been
done by the Levy Court of New
Castle county. Surely our city
should not be less generous To an
oHicial who is donating his time
and service 10 the correction and
reformation OF the juvenile dclin
qmuts OF The city.
You and your fellow members
in City Council cannot be fully
advised of the great good accom-
plshed by our Juvenile Court be-
cause one of the principal OBJ
iccts of the system is the avoid
ance OF publicity. Judge latto
mus. however. has told you OF
the number of cases which have
had the careful attention of him
self and the probation officer.
The undersigned. who arc deep
ly interested in the Juvenile
Court and who know of its good
work and results are satisfied
that Judge Lattomus deserves
the compensation he asks. and
we would respectfully urge you
TO make suitable provision for
him.
Please bear in mind that all
delinquent boys of this city. II

jurisdiction Of the Juvenile Judge
and our Municipal judge is re-
