Wanted---A Widow With $4,000.

A few weeks since, a man OF middle
age, of pretty fair appearance, well dress
ed and with pleasing address, went to
Pemberton and began to prospect for a
farm and friends who would let him
have little spare cash occasionally. He
appears to have found the latter, and
there was at least one who thought a
farm was to be sold at good price. The
man gave the name of John Wolfe, but
he did not disclose any specific lnforma-
ton as to his home. But that did not
count. He was one of that sort OF fel-
lows who can get on the inside by the
wink of an eve. He looked at several
farms but the one that seemed to suit
him best was the Cannon Run" farm
on the road to Browns Mills, and he
appeared to be ready to take it at
moments notice.
In the meantime Wolfe had been do
ing matrimonial correspondence with
a woman he represented as Missouri
widow. So warm was the correspondence
that there was danger of the Pember-
ton fire department being called out to
quench the flames in the mail bags. But
such a crisis was averted by Wolfe assert
ing that all plans had been perfected for
an early wedding and the widow was to
come to New Jersey, meet the Wolfe,
and be married. Incidentally the widow
was to be able to show $4,000, then the
Cannon Run" farm would change own
ers and all would go merrily thereafter.
But crimp was put in the plans.
Wolfe went to Camden Saturday. He
met a friend and they met another
friend. All had drink, each with the
other and then new friends seemed to
pop up from every direction and the joy
lals hn
little party was having most of its con-
gratulatory lifting of glasses in saloon
which Harry Thompson operates at No.
Is Market street. According to Thomp-
son it came time to collect for the Joy,
and he intimated as much to Wolfe.
Easiest thing in the world. Wolfe nom
chalantly produced check for $40 and
gayly informed the barman to cut out
the $3.50 due and hand over the differ
ence.
Thompson, however, happened to be
cautious saloonkeeper. Before produc-
ing his good money he went into seclus-
ion for a moment and got into COM
munication with a city detective. 1t
was discovered that the farmers check
was only a fragment of paper. He was
torn from the side of his merry COM
panions and coldly locked up.
Wolfe explained with considerable
trepidation and deep chagrin that he
had spent all of his good money express
ing his thanks with the boys in his joy
on the coming of the $4,000. His deep
lament was that unless he got out of
jail he could not meet the widow, they
could not get the license, there would be
no wedding and all the brightness had
gone from the springtime. He thinks
the widow will forgive him when she
arrives and learns the facts.

government knew all about the prac-
tice in West Virginia, in Michigan
and in Colorado, for it had official re-
ports from its own investigators; it
knew that private armies were main

states yet congress did nothing.
Knowing the situation and taking
no action, it PERMITTED the thing

to the fact that what the people over

time it is gratifying to hear that the
most systematic attempt ever made in
the Northwest to ascertain the most
successful control measure for apple
scab are now being carried on in a
field test conducted jointly by the Lane
County Horticultural Society and Pro.
fessor II. s. Jackson, plant pathologist
of the Agricultural College. The expert
ment is designed to test the effective
ness of the standard sprays and the
most effective means of applying them.
When the information acquired in these
experiments is brought to bear upon the
pest under favorable conditions, it may
be seen which way the battle is going.
The establishing Of vocational courses
at the Agricultural College will open
the doors Of the institution to the peo-
pie Of Oregon. These courses are de-
signed primarily to give opportunities
for college training to those persons
of the state who feel the need Of this
training and are not in position to get
it by the usual degree courses. If they
are desirous Of entering degree courses,
they can ordinarily find means Of pre-
pairing to do so in the local high schools
and other institutions Of learning. II
they merely wish to secure the benefit
of the training and study at college
without reference to college degrees,
the vocational courses are open doors
through which they may enter. The

the product as is feasible in the fresh
state, to establish a canning factory
that can handle large quantities of both
vegetables and fruits, and to install an
|evaporator for the handling of all
classes. Finally the vinegar works
should be added. In other words We
should aim to have plant SO organ
lied that nothing would go to waste,
each plant supplementing the Others"
AS an example of this method it is
shown how peelings and cores from the
cannery could be used in the vinegar
works, or if more profitable, how the
peelings could be dried to excellent ad-
vantage and later worked into jams
and jellies. By combination of plants
losses in all lines would be reduced to Q
minimum.
Because the success Of the association
for handling these products would de-
pend very largely upon the character
of the contract entered into by the
growers this question is treated quite
fully in the new bulletin and sample
contracts are presented in the appen-
dix. Methods Of organization are also
treated quite fully SO that the bulletin
is of the greatest practical value to all
producers who must face the profit and
loss situation in their industry. Those
desiring copies may secure them by

- XPRESSING the view that it is
l. easy to dispose of first class pro-
duets, but that the profit of the
fruit and vegetable business depends
very largely upon utilization of the
second and third class products PRO
fessors c. i. Lewis and w. s. Brown
have issued a new college bulletin call
ed "Fruit and Vegetable By Products, -
in which they explain the conditions
and processes of organizing and run
ming by.products factories.
The highly important questions of the
amount of money necessary, the guam
tity of-products raised within the pro-
posed by.products territory, and what
kinds of plants to establish, are treat
ed intimately from the point Of view
of the grower.
"The question Of what kind of plant
should be put in-cannery, vinegar
works, evaporator, or jelly factory
cannot be answered off hand" SAYS
Professor Lewis. "There is undoubted-
ly splendid field for all these manu-
featuring plants. Il would be unwise,
however, to try working all our low
grades into any one of these forms. If
we were to attempt to work all valu-
able produce into vinegar we should
easily overstock the market. We must
remember that there are only certain
types Of products that are adapted to
each of the special uses The ideal to
which every association should work is

\ GROUP of boys from the electrical
4 Engineering courses of o. A. C.

IA Engineering courses Of o. A. G..
are finding instruction, practice
and employment in the great electrical
works of New York, the largest of the
kind in the world. Several other form
er students from the Oregon cellege
are in the employ of the company, sta
TONED at various parts of the United
States and other countries. These boys
ar, meeting the competition of the best
product of most all leading colleges and
universities Of the country, and what is
most important, they are meeting it sue
cessfully.
The students now at the central plant
of the general electrical work in
Schenectady, ON the Mohawk River, are
members of the graduating classes of
1910, II, 'l2 and 'l3. They have
formed an Oregonian club and live to.
gether at beautiful Lake Ballston, eight
miles out fro mthe works on a ear line.
They have named their cottage the
"Oregonian, and were first of all the
students who make their homes at the
lake TO organize and maintain an
alumni club for its members.
The company for which these college
men are working has maintained stu.
dent training courses for many years
Every year a limited number Of stu,
dents especially qualified in their col
iegc work and adequately recommend
ed by the college Officers, are accepted
for training, practice and service, il
competent, All that are accepted for
training are admitted on positively
equal terms and assigned to the course
technically known as the Students En-
gincering course. In order to receive
advancement students must do mini
mum OF one year s work in this course
and can do much more, depending upon
the nature of the specialization they
undertake. The chief value of this pre-
liminary course is disciplinary, although
n good living wage il paid from the
time the student enters upon his work
At the end of each six.month period
students who remain are given stated
increase in salary.
When this preparatory work is fin
ished by any student he is assigned
either to the industrial or to the com
mcrcial end Of the practical engineering
business with the company. Both
phases of the practical business as car
ried on by the company are highly spe
cialized. The student who has won his
position in either of these fields selects
his speciality and goes into further
training. He never quits it until he is
complete master of all its complicated
details, after which he is regularly en-
ployed by the company and may con
slider that his position is permanent.
Qualifications for salesmanship are
equally exacting with those for opera
tion. Should the employe elect to han
die switch.boards as his speciality he
must master all the technique of the
operator in order to act profitably as a
demonstration. He must know the
sources and nature of material going

toll from the mole tribe, as an examina-
tion Of the stomach contents of over
1000 of these birds disclosed the re-
mains of but 13 moles, of which had
been eaten by the red-tailed hawk, 4
by the red-shouldered hawk and one
each by the broad-winged hawk, the
barred owl, the great gra yowl and
the sereeeh owl.
Stomachs Are Examined.
From an examination of the stomach
contents Of 200 moles taken in all
months of the year it was found that
earthworms and white grubs constitute
the bulk of the food. Beetles and their
larvae, spiders, centipedes, cocoons and
puparia also form part of the diet.
Seed coats of corn, wheat, oats and
peanuts have been seldom found in
stomachs of the moles.
Complaints of damage or depreda-
tions by moles are frequent and insis-
tent. However, in very many cases q
thorough investigation would show that
the smaller rodents which follow the
mole's runways are responsible for the
damage to corn and other cultivated
seed products that grow under ground.
Trap Efficient Destroyer.
When it is desirable to destroy the
mole the trap win be found to be the
most efficient means. Sc far all ex-
periments undertaken with the object
of finding an acceptable poison bait
have given negative results, as the very
nature of the animals food makes il
difficult to secure a satisfactory SUBJ
stitute of live worms, grubs, and in
seets Moreover, the little animal seems
to be shrewd and quick to sense the
danger in poisonous substances.
There are number of excellent mole
traps on the market, most of which will
give good results if properly set. There
are the harpoon, the scissor-jaw and
the ehoker types. Harpooning traps
are designed to impale the mole in the
ground by spring driven spikes. The
seissor-jaw traps are intended to be
set astride the runway to grasp the
mole firmly when he attempts to pass
in either direction, and the choker
trap has a set Of wire loops that en-
circle the burrow when the trap is set
All three types are designed to be
sprung by the same sort of mechanism,
a trigger pan resting on depressed
portion Of the mole ridge in such .
way as to be lifted when the animal
passes beneath.

"Students train at these great elec

colleges Of the country" said Mr
Smith. Several other schools Of tho
West, among them the University OF
Oregon, University of Washington
Washington State College and the Uni
vcrsity Of California are represented
The latter in particular has large
delegation, although the O. A. c. is most
largely represented of the Coast schools
we find, too, that our students are
ns well trained for the work as those
of any other school. When students ar,
first received il is on recommendations
alone that the officers of the company
must rely for information about the
fitness of the students, and during the
first year there is no distinction made
After that, however, students are ad
vanced on their own merits, and here as
elsewhere in life, the personal equation
is the important factor.
"The Oregon group was recommend
ed for the work by Professor Hilla

tion forms, and by other officers of the

Five Recognized Groups.
In this country there are five recog-
nized groups of true moles, two Of
which are confined to the Pacific Coast
and the other three are distributed over
the section east of the one hundredth
meridian, extending from Canada to
the Gulf Of Mexico. In the latter dis.
triets and in the greater. part of Penn
sylvania, New York and New England
the common mole occurs with the star,
nosed mole and Brewers mole
The mole is so seldom seen, even by
those who are familiar with its work
that it is often confused with other
small creatures, particularly the shrew
the mole or meadom mouse, and the
pocket gopher. However, it can be
readily distinguished by its stout, short,
front limbs ending in broad, rounded
hands with palms turned outward. II
has a rather elongated body, close
plush.like fur, pointed snout, and a
short tail. Neither eyes nor ears are
in evidence. 1t is creature of strictly
subterranean habits.
Moles Are Disliked
1t is believed commonly that the
mole works only at regular periods each
day, but direct observation taken in
later summer and fall fail to substan-
tiate the theory. The moles are dis
tasteful and seldom eaten by domestic
eats and dogs which have learned to
catch them. Hawks and owls take small

VIEWS AND REVIEWS.
ELF-FEEDERS for either fowls or

ELF-FEEDERS for either fowls OF
swine are easily and choaply made
and give excellent satisfaction
when properly constructed Aside from
decreasing the cost of labor, they are a
great saving of time and Of worry over
the fact that hand-tended animals must
be fed regularly two or more times a
day. The use of elf-feeders also saves
feed by giving the animals chance
TO balance their own rations, by pro-
viding it regularly, and by saving all
the scraps that usually result from
handfeeding. Methods of constructing
home made self feeders, accompanied by
drawings and photographs, will be pub
lished from time TO time in this jour
nal.
Apple scab is reported to be greatly
on the increase in some Of the fruit

TO indicate that orchardists arc losing
ground in their fight against this pest,
the conclusion is not at all inevitable.
