Of the HOO students of the Oregon Agricultural College virtually so per cent are now engaged in some form of athletic sport Football, wrestling, soccer, fall baseball and track and field events all have their advocates Football is drawing 5I per cent; ' per cent are engaged in field events; 3 per cent have taken up wrestling; 1O.9 per cent are playing soccer; 12.6. per cent play fall baseball; cross country running has 2S.9 per cent; and 16.2 per cent work in the gymnasium.
 This percentage Is in excess of the figures given out last year by Prince ton university, which was considered to have the greatest percentage of ac- tive athletes of the eastern universi- ties.
 Dr. A. D. Browne, who is in charge of the athletics at the Oregon Agri- cultural College, in speaking of the intermural system, says;
 "The main idea in our plan is to have a graduated system. First We have the individuals, then the organi- cations, next the interclass division, and as the complement and result of the preceding classes We have the group of men who are engaged in in tercollegiate competition.

Don't suffer from ego. You may think that everybody in town knows where you are located and what you have to offer. Don't make this grievous mistake.
 The public IS tickle. The public IS forgetful. It needs to be continually reminded where you are and what you are doing. If you don't let it know through the columns of a newspaper 1t soon will transfer its trade.
 Don't t think your busii- ness so we'll estab- lished" it doesn't need advertising. New York s biggest bank seeks ad- vertising. It probably is as well estabIished' as most enterprises.

If business IS a bit poor don't cry that the country IS going to the bowwows. Things will come out all right. When business life is at a low ebb newspaper advertising will help sus- tain it. When the hnan- cial and business de- pression was at its height a Pacific coast merchant spent $l00,0OO in a newspaper ad. campaign. The results more than Justlhed his optimism.
 The Wall street maxim Is. Buy when everybody is selling; sell when everybody is buy ing. If one wants to buy or sell anything he consults the newspapers.

IennlS players of California are cX- pected to rally on behalf of the courts of Golden Gate Park in San Fran cisco, which have been dubbed the cradle of California tennis cham pions." The courts. which are free to the public and on which some inter- national stars like Maurice McLough- lin, William NJ. Johnson and others learned the game as youngsters, need as an adjunct, a suitable club house for housing the embryo champions.
 In order to get the money for its construction it has been proposed to stage a great indoor tennis tourna- ment similar to the annual affair now held each season in New York. No less an edifice than the exposition auditorium is beins considered to house the event
 The Golden Gate Park commission CTS have been apprised of the need Of tine tennis players and have agreed to construct a 5000 structure provid- ed the players themselves raise $500 for the total amount
 Calilornias star players already have been approached on the subject, and all have readily consented to en- ter the competition in the event that the arrangements can be put through. The matches will be played at night so that many who have not had the opportunity of seeing these court stars in action will have the chance of do- ing so outside of office hours.
 II is a fact that while California has produced many champions there are scores of tennis lovers who have never been able to see them play during the afternoon owing to office engage ments.
 4 half dozen courts could easily be laid out on the tremendous floor area Of the exposition auditorium. The surrounding galleries are capable of accommodating thousands of spectat- ors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. r. - The striped bass of Atlantic waters, which has been transplanted to the Pacific ocean is said to have prospered amaz- lngly. While this fish in it's native east attains an average weight of about six pounds, catches which have been made here show that it attains an average weight of between fifteen ana twenty pounds in Pacific waters.
 Approximately 1,800 additional of these striped bass recently have been released near San Diego by the state 1lsh and game commission and they are expected to prosper equally with those which have now become quite plentiful in San Francisco bay. When the experiment was first made there were many who were skeptical of it's success. In view of the splendid rs- suits which have been obtained if is more than likely that this fish will be planted at other points along the Pa cific coast.
 For the information of Pacific coast anglers who are anxious to try their luck with these fish which have a re- putation for gameness, the following hints are given by the fish and game commission
 Tine striped bass is an omniverous feeder, taking clam readily, but pre- ferring crab or lobster. On the east ern coast a favorite bait is shredder crab'-the soft shell crab of the epi cure. Locally the lobster" or craw fish should be very good bait. They also will take a spoon, a spinner or even a fly when properly presented under favorable conditions. A favor lte food also is a small minnow.
 The fish is naturally a bracRish wa ter fish, living for a part of the year at least at the junction of fresh wa ter stream into the ocean. The great weight attained by the bass will give them great advantage in their fight Tor liberty, especially over the light tackle fishermen.
 The bass are protected against com mercial fishing, it being forbidden to take commercially any fish under three pounds, and also forbidden to take commercially any fish between September 25 and November IA of each year For personal consumption. however, and with rod and line not over five fish are allowable

The biggest business enterprises in this coun- try were built upon ad- vertising. None will deny that. Newspaper advertising IS the most potent of all. The money that IS spent annually in the newspapers of the United States IS enor- nous.
 Enormous as it IS, the return IS tenfold. And yet one occasionally will find some self sufficient business man who will declare he doesn't need advertising.
 Every man in every business needs advertise ing. Some need it more than others. It IS non- sense to say that a cer- tain article sells itself.

CASE
 COMES UP TODAY Judge Smith Will Hear Man. damus Petition Directed
 to Judge Stiles

The hearing in the plea made by Horace c. Wilkinson for a writ or mandamus seeking to have Probate Judge J. P. Stiles call an election in which the voters of Birmingham could cast their ballots on the subject of abolishing the commission form of government and returning to the alder manic system is set for Il o'clock this morning in the circuit court before Judge c. B. Smith.
 Mr. Wilkinson, who filed petition asking for this election, is said to have had considerably more than the legal requirement. of S900 qualified voters as signers Those who oppose the petition for the election, and City Attorney Ullman, representing the City, claim that the provision in the law linn iting the Laferty act to cities of S5,0Vo population and under, invalidates the Wilkinson petition. On the other. hand Mr. Wilkinson contends that the lim- iting clause is unconstitutional as it is not mentioned in the heading of the act.
 The city attorney contends that if the limiting clause is invalid, the en- tire bill under which an election in this matter could be called is null and void. It is expected that Wilkinson will merely file his brief in the case today without argument and that no matter how the judge may rule the case will go to the supreme court for final de- cision.

COKE JOINS OTHERS IN
 BREAKING ALL RECORDS

The cause for the unprecedented output of coke is the demand for iron, occasioned by the great production of steel and other structural supplies. While no records are available, the 1916 output of pig iron in this state will be the greatest in it's his tory.
 The revenues that the great productions of coke have brought cannot be esti- mated, inasmuch the greater amount of it has been used in the manufacture of pig iron by the furnaces in this dis trict. The price of coke is higher than ir has been in many years, and, by virtue of this fact and the additional fact that the supply is less than the demand, vir- tually every battery of ovens in the state is in operation.

TELLS OF WORK IN
 THE NEW PALESTINE
P. M. Raskin Delivers Address at Tenn pie Emanu- Fl on the Zionist
 Effort

'"The New Palestine" was the sub ject of the address delivered last night at Temple Enanu-El by P M. Ras- kin, noted Zionist lecturer and au- thor. MT. Raskin painted beautiful picture of the change which had been wrought in Palestine within the past 30 years under the direction of the immigrants who had gone into the land to reclaim it and bring it back to its former prosperity. beauty and glory.
 He told of the small number of Rus sian Jews, students of universities who were responsible for the remark able transformation. The former land of milk and honey, the land blessed of God the chosen land, had for IS cen turies been trampled under foot by the Bedouins. he said Now in less than 30 years these colonists had re- turned it almost to it's former state of beauty and attractiveness.
 The 4S colonies founded by these Jewish immigrants. of whom there were approximately 12000 had com pletely changed the complexion of the country. There were schools and uni- versailles of every nature and the edu- cational facilities were of the highest order. Students graduating in the high schools of Jerusalem and Jafa were now admitted into the leading univer- sities and colleges of Europe and America.
 Another address by MT. Rankin will be delivered Sunday night at S:30 o'clock at Knesseth Israel He is rec ognized as one of the ablest and most cultured speakers who has appeared before a Birmingham audience in sometime. He is graduate of the leading universities of Europe and is an author and publfcist of interna- tional ranown. He is the representa- tive of the Zionists of the country, of whom Louis D. Brandeis. now justice of the supreme court. was the first chairman. Dr Stephen s. Wise. who is well known in Birmingham, is at the present time chairman of the move ment.
