BACKED GY GUN

University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb

er who enforced discipline with a gun
is told in Il reading circle paper just
received at the School of University
Extension from Douglas county, Ore
gon, teacher She does not tell where
the incident happened, and tae only
voucher for its authenticity is the eX-
animation question in reply to which
the supposed happening was described.
This was the question:
y" Describe the most typical example
of the mruly school that has come un-
der your observation. Tell Gay what
caused it TO become mruly; (b) wlat
characteristics marked il as unruly;
(c) what measures were necessary to
establish good discipline.
The Young woman responded with
this example;
A certain rural school had an mex
periencel teacher, q little lacking in
confidence. The youngsters readily de-
tected this, and went from bad to worse
until the teacher was discouraged and
resigned. When the second inexpcr-
fenced teacher appeared, the pupils
were determined to ''rm nim out = and
soon did.
The next lplicant for the school was
slight Young woman of experience.
The board told her of the history Of
the school; but nothing daunted, she
insisted She could manage it.
The first day there was no disturb
ance on tue surface until one O'Clock.
One of the older boys had hardly seat.
ed himself after the noon intermissiou,
when he raised his hand and asked per.
mission to get a drink. The tclcher re.
fused his request, adding that he should
have attended TO that before toe he'll
rang. Notwithstanding this the hoy
went to the water cooler and took a
drink.
While the cup wns az his lips, the
teacher quietly took small revolver
out of her drawer. and shot the cup

pil to take ais seat. He took IL.
After that the teachers word was

Heavy Buying Of Cars
Features Auto Shows
Feretells Greatest Year in Industry
Studebaker Gets Many Orders
..-. for Trainload Shipments.

If there is one tendency more th IN
ANY other that is featuring tlis year $
automobile shows, it is the fact that
the shows are proving occasions for
heavy buying of ears. The Importance
of this is more fully realized when it is
recalled that in past years the big
crowds flOcking to automobile exhibits
came more out of curiosity than de-
sire to place orders.
The tendency to buy heavily at show
times is taken as bearing out predic-
tiOns made to the effect that there may
he shortage in ears this year in view
of the heavy demand 1t is ominous al
so because of the fact that the unpre-
cclented demand at this season fore
tells record year for the automobile
industry.
Among the manufacturers that are
preparing for the neavy business is the
Studebaker Corporation, whose fac
tories are working full force to take
care of orders for the new series II
cars. The biggest problem now, ac.
cOrding TO Studebaker Officials, is to
turn out ears fast enough. As an indi-
cation of the policy of preparedness -
dh output OF lUO,UUO ears rs planned for
1916, based upon the outlook rs re-
ported by dealers
The hitherto unequalled demand for
ears expressed at the New York, Phila-
delphia, Detroit and other shows is be
ing duplicated in the middle west New
records i'll volume of orders nave been
set at the Chicago exhibit, proving that
heavy buying at show times is NOT CON
fined to any one section of the country
but is universal.
So enthusiastic are dealers for ears
for early delivery that requests for
trainload shipments are becoming fre-
quent. The Studebaker Corporation
has secured trainload orders of ears
from dealers at Chicago, Milwaukee,
Madison, LaCross, Minneapolis, Sioux
Falls, Grand Forks, Fargo, Des Moines,
st. Louis and other cities.

January Saxon Business
Breaks All Sales Records
Numbers of Orders Received Is More
- Than Double That Of Best
Previous Month .t,s-

Indicative of the remarkable prosper
ity of the automobile business is the
January record of orders just announced
by the Saxon Motor Car company. In
the month just closed this company re.
tceiyed orders for 6792 cars for inlmedi-
Inte shipment
This breaks all previous Saxon rec
ords, the total number of orders re-
ceived in January being more than
double that of the hest previous month
last Mly-when 3.3iS were received.
The showing il considered all the more
remarkable when il is remembered that
January is winter mOnth-Ordinar-
lily a dull period-while the best pre-
viOus month was in the heart of the
spring selling season.
The Chicago Automobile Show
brought in total of 3,4l4 orders and
the New York Show 1000 These Or
ders were placed at the shows by deal
ers who this year attended the big me
tropOlitan exhibits in greater numbers
than ever before.
A striking feature of The record
breaking January business was the num-
Der of trainload orders received A few
years ago the ordering of trainload
aof cars was considered a big event.
but nowadays in factories of large pro-
ductiOn, like the Saxon and Others
trainload shipments are not uncommon.
Fl. w. Ford, president of the Saxon
Company, is authority for the statement
that trainlOad orders are now on hand
for Los Angeles, San Francisco, SpO-
kane, Dallas, Saginaw, two trainloads
for New England, besides large orders
for Des Moines, Syracuse, Minneapolis
and other points.
The Saxon shipments for the month
of January were more than double those
of the same month a year ago In fact,
the Increase amounted to 100 per cent
over the business of January, 1915.

Umailla Project Rich
Says Official Report

A crop census of the Umltilla Pro.
iect in Oregon has just been compiled
by the reclamation service, The report
is exceedingly gratifying in that it fur
nishes abundant evidence of substan.
tial progress on the part Of the settlers.
Owing to the numerous natural OBJ.
staeles in the way of light, sandy, and
blowing soils, rough topography and
lack of experience on the part Of many
farmers, the settlers have had many
difficulties to overcome. During the
first few years progress was slow and
many were discouraged. The latest re.
port Of farm conditions on the project
is encouraging as evidencing a better
understanding of the requirements, with
results which price the actual merit of
this section as a producer Of valuable
crops. Summarizing the report the fol.
lowing statistics are Of special inter.
est.
In 1915 the total area irrigated was
5,3O6 acres, of which 1000 acres were
in young orchards, and ll6 acres in new
alfalfa. Approximately 3,6O3 acres pro.

CALIFORNIA MOTOR OIL
IN COLD WEATHER

1t is reported that in some localities
on the coast where the mercury hul,
dies pretty low in the tube, motorists
have been troubled by their oil getting
thick in the crank case.
This has been the experience mostly
with motorists using an eastern oil Of
paraffine base. On account of the ma
ture of paraffine-b crude, it has al
ways been one of the worst problems of
eastern refiners to manufacture an oil
that would not CONCEAL at zero temper
atuTe.
Motorists who use an asphalt base
oil, especially one made from Califor-
mia crude, have no difficulty with their
oil in cold weather. The oil contains
no paraffine or other substances that
can CONCEAL at low temperature. The
zero temperature has no effect on Cal
ifornil asphalt-base oil. 1t is practical
ly' the same in winter and in summer.

DEATH OF A BROTHER
John F. Cain of Mankato Called to
Fond du Lac to Attend the
Funeral
From Thursdays Daily.

Fond du Lac Commonwealth, May
29.-William Cain, aged sixty eight,
and resident of Fond du Lac county
for more than half century, died
Saturday evening at six o'clock. The
funeral will be held from st. Joseph's
church Tuesday morning at nine
o'clock, the Rev. J. ]. Collins officiat-
ing, with interment at Calvary ceme-
terry.
The deceased was the oldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Cain, pioneer res
idents of Fond du Lac county who
came to Dundee from Utica, New
York, in the early SOS. The family
with the exception of William, who
was hopelessly crippled by an accident
when he was six years of age, moved
to Tracy, Minnesota, in 1879.
Attending the funeral from a dis
lance are Henry J. Cain of Tracy,
Minnesota, and John F. Cain of Man
kato, Mimi. Their parents died some
years ago. This is the first visit the
gentlemen have made-to the scene of
their youth since they left the county
in 1879.
Henry j. Cain, now district manager
at Tracy of the Mutual Life Insurance
company of New York, stated today
that he did not find Fond du Lac as
much changed as he had expected.
This, he said, was probably due to
the fact that he came from a country
in which big cities were often the
development of but a few years. On
Main street, this city, he said ne no
tlced many buildings with which he
was familiar in his boyhood, and the
general Typography of the city was
such that he should have recognized
it in a moment under any conditions.
John F. Cain and family have re-
turned from Fond du Lac, where they
attended the funeral of William Cain.
