tongues of the Bandon high school
team from Coos county at Eugene
Monday. Medford had beaten Ash

the stellar performer for the Bandon

In the development of ideas there is
no such thing as spontaneous generation.
Those who seem to be the beginners of
great movements are those who lived
under great influences.
Apparent exceptions to this, as
Shakespeare or Darwin or Lincoln, on
examination prove excellent examples
thereof.

Taking Up the Recoil.

The quick firing field gun used By
the French and British is equipped
with most ingenious device for TAX
ing up the recoil. When it is fired the
gun slides along guides on the top of a
steel box, called the cradle. Inside Of
the cradle and attached to the gun is q
piston. which is driven by the recOi!
into a cylinder filed with glycerin. The
glycerin is forced through narrow
channels into a reservoir full of COM
pressed air, which it further conf
presses. This friction brings the gun
to rest after it has recoiled. and then
the expansion of the compressed air
forces the glycerin back into the piston
and returns the gun to the firing 90
sition once more.-Science Conspectus.

OF OPPORTUNITY
BY HENRY WALLACE.

| sometimes, as | ride over these
prairies, think that when the Almighty
got tired Of making mountains and
stars and suns and world and systems
of worlds, rainbows, trout streams and
woman's eyes, he said to himself, |
must give them one piece of country
in which to make the final effort to
build up splendid human beings, bear
ing the image of God. So he sent
down his great glaciers, leveling down
the hilltops, filling up the valleys,
leaving US these great lakes for the
commerce of the world Then he held
his hand on it until Moses had given
given us art, until Rome had given us
Jurisprudence. Still he held his hand
on it until Martin Luther indicated
the right of private judgment. John
Knox taught us the great principles
of religious liberty. Still he held his
hand on it until steam had been dis
covered, until we began to learn to
build the iron highway. Then he took
his hand off it, and he sowed it with
the choicest of seed the best that Old
England could give, the best of the an
cient Vikings, the German of the old
state, Goethe and Schiller with his love
of home and travel; and the Scotch
man who thinks there are Just two
beings in the world, God Almighty
and himself: Pat, the broth of bow
with mirth for a spice and then he
said: MY children, develop this great
Mississippi valley, this great cornbelt
region, until it blooms like the land
of Egypt" This is the mission of this
generation, with all the wisdom CT the
past, with all the experience Of the
past, the soil. the fertility of which
we should keep as a trust, as we
honor our father and our mother and
our parentage This is mission that
belongs to us, and in it we must join
as farmers, as bankers and as bust
ness men, to build up great people
that Outranks in civilization anything
that the world has yet seen, in en-
towering it with the religion of that
little tribe, the wisdom of Asia, and
to whom it was given to give the re-
ligious thoughts that rule all the
world. This is the mission that we
must cooperate to perform, if we will
be worthy of our heritage.

sure the best results in feeding
During the process of filling, the cut
material should be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center, and
we'll tramped close to the sides, where
the friction of the wall tends to pre-
vent settling. 1t is not SO necessary
to tramp in the center of the silo, fol
the weight of man is little compared
to the weight of the silage.
The usual practice, when the silo is
filled, is to wet down the surface i'm
mediately after filling, and tramI
thoroughly several times during the
first week. By this method a crust
will be formed over the top. This
crust is not to be broken until feeding
commences, when the damaged silage
at the top is removed and discarded
The silo needs to be we'll ventilated
until the heating and fermentation
have subsidized or much or all of the
entire amount spoiled.

and bright yellow. these with black

Chinese flag.
Flag in hand, the suffragiStS go out
into the highways and byways with
their message of equal political rights
and responsibilities for men and wo-
men First class, said Il smiling
faced, prosperous looking Chinaman in
we'll cut American clothes as he greet
ed the suffrage banner. First c.aSs, |
believe in that" he repeated, and other
Cinnamon smilingly nodded assent.
AS the banner moves on pleased mods
and bows greet its progress Into
dark doorway and up the stairs marches
Miss Dock holding her suffrage ban
ner before her Our nurses come here
often to look after the children" she
explains.
Through Il crowded kitchen and into
a room in the front Of the house she
marched. May We come in?" asked
Miss Dock. A cultural sound signified
assent. A young woman with much
embroidered and solemn faced baby
looking like an infant mandarin sat at
one end Of table between the win
doWs At the other window sat an
older woman sewing. Both women
wore native costumes. Neither could
speak English The younger woman
went out Of the room and soon return
ed, bringing her sister, q girl Of fifteen,
who goes to high school,. She listened
to Miss Dock moment and then q
smile broke out all over her face. Yes
indeed, she knew about the suffrage
campaign. and she believed in votes for
women. Then she turned and spoke
rapidly to her mother and sister-in-law.
Immediately their faces changed, the
GUINNESS vanished and they beamed
upon the callers. They, too, believed in
votes for women; yes. indeed, and so
did their husbands.
Out on the street again and up into
another house marched the Chinese
banner with it's message of equality for
men and women. Here was a Chinese
woman Of high degree. Heiress to all
the traditions Of old China, neverthe-
less she has her face set toward the
promise Of the years to come, and she
believes in equal suffrage. To be sure,
as Miss Dock explains. there are not so
very many registered voters in China
town. but even though they be but few
they are going to receive the message.
They are interested in it too. One full
blooded Chinese voter born in this coun-
try expressed the new ideal for women
as he sees it: II would like my wife to
be a citizen

Perhaps the most curious mineral
found in the United States is staurolite
otherwise known as the fairy stone
This is an iron aluminium silicate found
only in Virginia and North Carolina,
the reddish brown and brownish black
crystals occurring in well defined sin
gle and double crosses. There is some
commercial demand for the crosses as
curiOs, which are worn as watch
charms or on chains in the manner of
a locket or lavalliere-a demand per
haps stimulated by the quaint legend
which is told Of their origin; the fairies
living in the caves of the mountains.

In putting up winter lunches for the
herd, follow good recipes.
Silage is usually cut in one-half-
inch lengths, according to a recipe
given by G. G. Humphrey of the Col
lege of Agriculture If cut longer than
this COWS will refuse to eat the
coarser portions of the stalks, caus-
ing waste.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted, or allowed to get ripe, it gen
orally will make good silage if water
is added at the time of filling the silo.
No definite rule can be given as to
the right amount of water to add Each
must be guided by his own judgment.
The aim is to add enough to make the
moisture content equal to that of
green corn. Unless the water is added
while the cut fodder is being put into
the silo, it may fail to reach all parts,
thus causing moldy spots. Thorough
ly mixed silage is also desirable to in

Problem of the Dav.

The greatest material problem for
both town and country in the great
middle West is to bring about the
adoption of systems of farming under
which old land shall become richer
than new land. And this is possible,
feasible and profitable; but not by the
use of small amounts of such mixed
manufactured fertilizers as the farm
ers of the older states have been in
duced to purchase at high prices and
to apply to their farms in systems of
soil stimulation and ultimate land
ruin.-A. W. Hopkins.

A dry and we'll ventilated kitchen
attic is good substitute for curing

While there are numerous devices
for hanging seed corn so that it will
dry out thoroughly, a strong string
makes a good and cheap hanger. The
ears can be tied separately, or the
strings may be crossed as indicated in
the accompanying cut, and so prevent
one ear from being in contact with an
other.
A curing room should be provided
with good ventilation and fire should
be kept going until the corn is dry
Frequent inspection will help to pre-
vent any of the seed from becoming
damaged in any way.
