RURAL CLUBS WILL
BEAUT|FY THE HOME
SchOOI Children VIII Plant
Trees and Shrubs To I'm
prove Appearance


The "Rural Home Identification
project for the Industrial clubs in the
rural districts of Oregon is a new club
project added this year at the sueges-
ton sof Theo. B. Wilcox, of Portland.
who provides the prizes offered in this
contest. Club members entering this
contest will furnish drawings and one
or more photographs showing the condi-
tion of the premises at the time of TAX
ing up the work of improving and beau
tifying the home. They will also furnish
drawings and explanations setting
forth their plans for Improvement. The
work will include care of lawn, trees
and shrub planting, flower and garden
planting and the story about the work,
so many points to be credited to each.
The capital prize for the one making
the highest score in this contest is the
same as in each of the other club pro-
iects-a trip to the Oregon Agricultural
college and membership in the summer
school for BOYS and girls, with all ex-
penses paid for the two weeks.
Superintendent Churchill thinks
! through this project great deal can be
accomplished toward solving the prob
lem of excepting the boy on the farm )"
by getting the boys and girls to think
ing and working, on competitive
basis, on the improvement of the rural
home-making it more pleasant and at
tractive by improving and caring for
the lawn, planting few shade and or
namental trees, adding a little shrub
/ berry, giving some attention to the
planning and planting of the garden
etc.
In connection with this, the idea is
suggested that every farm or rural
home should have name and that that
name should be prominently displayed
on an arch over the front gate entering
the premises, or in some other conspie-
uous place. Surely every rural home is
worthy of name and should be digni-
fled by one. There is usually some dis
tinguishing feature about the premises
to suggest an appropriate name A few
years ago the Oregon legislature passed
law providing for the registration of
farm names with the county clerk. No
special attention has ever been called

New York, Nov. 25.--Tne slowly
dying custom of playing big football
games on Thanksgiving is reflected in
today's schedule. Only two games Of
more than local interest are scheduled
for Eastern teams. In the west, one
intersectional combat-the Syracuse
Montana game-alone is of more than
passing interest.
At Philadelphia and Pittsburgh this
afternoon the two undefeated teams OF
the East swing into action, and on the
results hinges to large extend whetA-
er Cornell will nave an edge on Pitts
burgh or vice versa in the final ac-
counting.
Cornell should have a comparatively
easy time with Pennsylvania, which is
completing a disastrous year replete
with coaching troubles. Pitt, however
has a tough proposition in Penn State
which already has licked Pennsylvania
and came near beating Harvard.

Football Season
Ends In Northwest

Portland, Ore, Nov. 25-Four games
will bring the football season to a
close in the northwest this afternoon
They are: Washington and Colorado at
Seattle, Multnomah club and Oregon
at Portland, Whitman and Idaho at
Moscow, and Washington State college
and Gonzaga at Spokane.
In view of Colorado's lone victory
this year it was believed that Wash
ington would win easily.
Oregon has not won a game from the
Multnomah club since 1909, and admir-
ers of the clubites expect history to
be repeated this afternoon.
Washington State college has gor
through the season undefeated and
should easily dispose of the Catholics.
Whitman and Idaho are .nore evenly
matched, neither having had a very
successful year. Idaho is conceded a
little advantage.
The weather along the west coast
was rainy and windy. Heavy fields
will be encountered at Seattle and Port
land. East of the mountains condi-
tons were somewhat better for fast
playing.

MARKET PROBLEMS

Meet Commercial Club
Representatives

After an Interesting session of two
hours yesterday afternoon in which
members of the agricultural depart
ment of the commercial club discussed
with representative farmers the great
problem of markets, motion was pass
Ell authorizing President Hamilton to
appoint committee of five to take ur
the feasibility of establishing com
mission house or market at the Salem

place. 70 act on this committee, which
will report at the next meeting, Presi
dent Hamilton appointed George w.
Weeks, L. II. McMahan, Robert Paulus,
A. c. Libby and Milton Brown.
In the general discussions of the ses-
sion, it developed that the farmers
were opposed to selling to regular
commission man who would buy at the
lowest price and sell in the highest
market, taking the profits for himself.
What the farmers want is to eliminate
entirely the middleman and to bring
the7 producer and consumer together,
thereby securing for the farmer high.

simply relieve, it aims to cure.
Daniel j. Fry can tell you of many
well known people in this city who this
remedy has restored to health, often
after they have tried many other
methods Of treatment with little or no
benefit. No other dyspepsia remedy has
made so large q percentage Of cures as

The best kind of advertising Is the
praise of a pleased customer, and there
are hundreds in Salem today praising
Mi.o-na because it does what it is ad-
yertised to do. A few months ago they
could eat nothing without wondering
what the result would be. Since using

form of a new Farmers Bulletin inc.
623) entitled: 'lce Houses and the Use
Of Ice on the Dairy Farm" The bull
letin should be useful in dairy sections
where natural ice is obtainable. Plans
and specifications for ice houses are
given.
In its general summary the bulletin
MAKES the following 10 suggestiors:-
(l) Wherever ice is abundant the
cost of harvesting and storing is US
ually very small.
~ If a stream Of water is avail
able, a small pond can generally be
constructed on the farm by building
dam.
% In building an ice house care
should be taken to provide FOR proper
drainage and ventilation. The drain
should be efficiently trapped to prevent
air from entering the house through
the drain.
a. The efficient insulating of ice
houses is Of the utmost Importance,
consequently great care should be ex-
ercised in the selection and installation
of the insulating material.
90 About 40 cubic feet of space
should ordinarily be allowed for ton
of ice. A cubic foot Of ice weighs
about 81 pounds.
t6) Under general conditions about
/ pound of ice will be required to cool
and keep one pound Of cream in good
condition until delivered to the
creamery when deliveries are made
three times a week.
% When storing ice, about so per
cent more should be packed than Ia
actually needed. This amount allows
for heavy shrinkage and for house :
hold uses.
80 The dairy farmer should pro
vide annually one-haIf TO one ton Of
ice per COW for cooling cream only
and one and one-half to two tons per
COW if whole milk is cooled, depending
upon the locality and other factors.
90 If cake Of ice is kept floating
in the water surrounding the cream
cans when the ordinary cooling cans
are used, the temperature will remain
at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
(l0) Good ice-water tanks can US
1ally be constructed for from s. ~
$40.

POOR QUALITY OF BUTTER
Often Caused by Lack of Thorough
Cooling of Cream

One of the most common causes OF
poor-quality butter is the lack of i'm
mediate, thorough cooling of the
cream after separation. The Dairy
Division of the department has made
careful investigation of conditions
on a large number Of dairy farms,
and the data obtained show that, if
properly cooled, cream Of the best
grade can be produced with but little
extra labor or expense. The principles
involved are very simple and are cas-
lily understood.
A liberal use Of ice which has been
stored in winter TO be used the follow
ing summer is one Of the require
ments for the solution Of the poor
butter problem. Farmers who are al
ready successfully delivering good
products to the creamery have usually
provided for themselves convenient
source of supply for the ice, suitable
houses for storing the ice, and ice
water tanks for the immediate cooling
of the milk and cream. In parts Of
New England, although the dairymen
often hold cream on the farm four
days in the summer and seven days in
the winter they deliver practically all
their product while sweet. After it
reaches the creamery it is pasteurized
and shipped distance Of from so TO
300 miles, and may still be sold in
these remote localities in the form of
sweet cream.
The expense connected with the lib
eraI use of ice in this connection ia so
small and the result so satisfactory
that details have been compiled for
the consideration Of those interested
In dairying and are now issued In the
