also be gained in Keeping exact rec
ords, balancing receipts and expend-
itures, and making final reports. Local
county and state club contests will be
held and suitable prizes offered.
There are two divisions of the pig
club work. Division is feeding and
care of brood SOW and a litter of
pigs. Division 2 is feeding and care
Of one or more pigs from weaving time
till they reach marketable weight.
Club members entering Division l
require brood sows, bred to farrow as
near the first of March as possible.
We are in receipt of number of in
quiries from boys and girls from sew
eral different counties asking for as
sistance in finding a suitable gilt or
brood SOW. We have also asked the

announcing that swine breeders having
pure bred or good grade brood sows to
sell may send lists to the pig club

OREGON STATE NfWS|
Oregon State Now Has
16l Standard High Schools

Salem-Oregon now has 161 stand
ard high schools, IT was announced by
j. A. Churchill, superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. The work of stand
ardization has been prosecuted by the
state department Of education for the
last yen, and but 80 four-year high
schools now remain which have not
met the standardization requirements.
There are many one, two or three-year
high schools, offering courses beyond
the eighth grade, but these are known
as one, two or three-year secondary
schools.
Under the new high school law, dis
tricts maintaining standard high
schools are entitled to received tuition
for pupils attending schools there, but
residing in districts not having high
schools. This law excepts counties
maintaining the county high school
fund, but for such counties the state
board of education is required to es-
tablish the standard for high schools
entitled to share of the county high
school fund, therefore the list given
includes all the standard schools of the
state.
In order to be standard high school
must have four years of work; have
not less than $50 reference books for
the library, chosen from the state
library list for high schools: one stand
ard encyclopedia, and sufficient num-
Der Of dictionaries and the proper Ia
boratory for each science offered. The
teachers must hold certificates en-
titling them to teach in high schools
and all high schools must follow the
state course of study or course ap-
proved by the state board of education.

Monday night was shot through both
thighs by q Carranza soldier, who
leaped from his trench at Aqua Prieta,
shouting "viva Carranza," and fired
six shots at Jones, who was on patrol
near the boundary line in the rear Of

soldier is not seriously wounded.
Heavy firing on all sides of Aqua
Prieta was renewed at o'clock in the
morning. The Carranza garrison has
exploded mines along the front over
which they expected the Villa charge
to take place.
Firing is violent on the west side of
Aqua Prieta, indicating Yaqui Indians
from Naco are attempting to storm the
town from that side. All the Villa
artillery was in action, pounding the
Gales defenses south and west of the
town at 1880 o'clock, and Gales re-
piled with guns, rifles and mines.
Many bullets began falling in Doug
las, Ariz.
Fl. X. Jones, a lettercarrier, was
shot by Mexican bullets, as he stood in
front Of his home.
Apparently Villa forces are making
q big dash to storm and capture the
