fers. She can choose which games
she likes best, and play with the
groups she knows or meet new ones.
The idea being that rules and reg
ulations should be as few as possible,
that the main idea is good time in
healthy, athletic way.
The plan has met with the greatest
success, and is to be much extended.
In New York large gymnasium is
hired for the chosen evening, and with
so large class to meet expenses the
individual cost is slight-only So a

the Monday evenings. Every city
should nave such an association.
And if college women, why not other
women? A college girl has learned the
value of gymnastics and the fun in
play, but other women are capable of
learning the lesson with little prac-
tice. A club of 90 or 40 girls could
have a glorious time by hiring the SER
vices of a. couple of good instructors
and securing one night week in a
well-equipped gymnasium.

WOMEN NEED PLAY.

A college woman has discovered
that it ism t enough to have only four
years of real athletics. She says you
need exercise just as much, and more,
after you go into business as while
you were studying in college. And
not only exercise, but fun while you
take it.
To put it perfectly a woman needs
play. The harder her work during
the day the more she needs it., Good,
likely play that win loosen up her
muscles and set her in glow, that
will take her mind off her worries
and put her into healthy physical
competition with other women like
herself.
This young woman has formed the
Alumnac Athletic club in New York
which meets twice a week, Monday
evenings for exercise on the track,
for folk dancing, swimming, bowling,
basketball, handball; and Friday even
ings for riding. A girl can join for

TWO MODELS SHOW
PROPER NUMBERING METHODS

Two models which show how the gov.
ernment sells its timber have just been
prepared in Washington, for display at
the forest products exposition, to be
held in Chicago April 30 to May 0 and
in New York May 90 to 30. These
models represent am acre of western yell
low pine land in national forest of
the southwest before and after logging.
In the model showing the stand before
the lumberman goes into it the trees
range from those only few years old
to large, overmature, stag-headed in
dividuals more than ready for the AK.
In the second model the mature trees
and all others larger than n certain
diameter have been cut down and made
into logs and cordwoOd. In this, as in
all government sales, the stumps are
cut low to avoid unnecessary waste, logs
are taken to small diameter well up
into the tree, and such material as is
not fit for lumber is converted into
cordwood. Together, the models show
the care which the government requires
of hmbermen in Telling old trees so
that the young growth is not injured.
The brush is piled in heaps for burn
ing after the lumber has been removed,
in order that tho Sire menace which

ing may be done away with. The
models are ON scale Of about one inch
to five feet, so that trees approximately
100 feet tall are about 20 inches high
in the models.
The models are supplemented by a
graphic chart which shows by pictured
piles of money aud by conventional
trees of graded size the increase of TIM
ber sales ON the national forests from
1905 to 1913, inclusive. In 1905 the
timber sold from the national forests
aggregated 96,00O,O00 board, feet
which brought the government no more
than $4,000 Three years later tn,
amount of timber so d Increased to near
y 390,000,00O board teet, and the money

than $2,000,000, and in 1913 more than
4 2,00O,000,000 feet brought in contract,
amounting to $4,5OO,OO0. Not all thi
money was received in any one year
because national forest timber is sol,

PREMIUM LIST READY
FOR BIG STATE FAIR

The premium list Of the 1914 Oregon
state fair is in the hands of the state
printer, and it is expected that 1t will
be ready to send on. to all those who
are interested before the first of June.
Secretary Meredith has completely re
vised the. work from cover to cover.
Many rules have been eliminated and
some new ones added. The classiti-
cation has also received attention. For
instance, all classification in the live
stock department has been made to con-
form to that adopted by the American
Association of Fairs and Expositions
at its last annual meeting, which was
held at Chicago in December. This
classification was adopted also by the
North Pacific Fair association, of
which the Oregon state fair is a mem
Der, at its meeting held at Vancouver
b. c., last February.
BY adopting a uniform classification,
the association mas rendered valuable
assistance to the exhibitors who wish
to enter their livestock at more than
one fair, as it will enable them to
show their animals in the same classes
throughout the circuit. Formally ad-
ditional animals had 10 be carried along
to fill classes which were not uniform.
The amount of premiums has also been
increased in many departments. For
instance, $3.50 more is offered in tne
sheep classification than ever before.
In the swine department an offering of
1916 for tamworths, breed for which
no premium. have been offered here
tofore, is made; while for county agri-
cultural exhibits it is made possible to
draw down $4,000 more than was Of
fered in 1918.
An entirely new plan in conducting
the county agricultural exhibits, and
awarding premiums for same, has been
adopted. Instead of all of the coun-
ties of the state competing against each
other for fixed prizes, the state has
been divided into three districts, com
prisod aa follows: First district-Clat-
sop, Tillamook, Coos, Curry and Lin
coin counties. Secogd district-WascO,
Hood River, Columbia, Multnomah,
Clackamas, Washington, Yamhill, Polk,
Linn, Benton, Lane Douglas Jackson
and Josephine counties. Third district
-Umatilla, Sherman, Baker, Wallowa,
Morrow, Klamath, Lake, Harney,
Grant, Malheur, Crook, Wheeler, Gil
liam and Union counties. Premiums
are offered pro rata for each district;
basng the amount of money to be di-
vided in eacn district upon the num-
Der of counties entered. This amount
will be on basis of 800 for each ex-
hibit that qualities, for example: If
there are five exhibits from a district,
$500 will be divided among the coun-
ties exhibiting from that district; if
more, 800 will be added for each ad-
ditional exhibit; all competing coun.
tiea from each district to draw pro
rata in the same proportion as the one
winning first, according to the number
Of points scored. An exhibit must
score at least 60 points out of a pos
sible 100 points to participate in the
division of tne money. No entrance
fee will be charged but 10 per cent
will bo deducted from the amount of
premiums won. The scales Of points
upon which the scores win be based
are as follows:

set down the glass, and went out.
