that instead of operating the pumps

WHO SHOT COL. GARRETT? ="

BY H. M. Egbert
MIR. Heard, you must save John
Thornton's life. He is Innocent"
looked at the young woman who
stood before me in my Office, her
hands clasped, the tears streaming
down her cheeks. Ny first thought
was that it was just such scamps as
Thornton who find such women as
Janet Clifford to believe in them.
My second was a desire to help her
in any way that was possible. But
the murder of old Col Garrett had
stirred the blood of every one, and
threats of lynching had been openly
made.
The verdict had been rendered
within fifteen minutes of the jury's
retirement, and the case seemed to
have been proved to the hilt. Thomas
Garrett had been the wealthiest man
for miles around. He had been a
slaVe-owner before the war, and he
had saved enough out of the wreck
to enable him to amass a huge for
tune when electric traction came and
created riches for the far-sighted.
John Thornton, CARROTS nephew,
had been scapegrace. His uncle,
after repeated admonitions, had
finally ordered the young man out of
his house He had cut him out of his
will, leaving all his property to Ellis
Tomlinson, another nephew. That
had been two years before.
l had known that Thornton and
Janet Clifford cared for each other,
but 1 had not guessed at the devo-

The source of the distribution of the
literature, which aroused speculation
and caused general comment, some in
agreement with the papers attack and
others denouncing "Truth." could not
be learned. The boys with the papers
said that they did not know the men
who had paid htem to pass the publica-
tions around. Not a rig in the city
was issued by the disseminatiors of

CHURCHILL FAVORS
PENDLETON NORMAL

J. A. Churchill, state superintendent
of public instruction. is asking the
voters of the state to support the initi-
ative measure on the ballot this fall
providing for the establishment of a
standard normal school at Pendleton.
The state superintendent last report
shows that only l3 per cent of the
grade teachers of the etate are normal
school graduates and he more than any
other one man. appreciates the need
for more competent instruction, partic-
ularly in the rural schools.
"Oregon's greatest need for its rural
schools is the teacher who has had full
preparation to do her work." he said
in making public his endorsement of
the measure. "Such preparation can
best come through normal school train
ing.
81 trust that the voters of the state
will assist in raising the standard of
our schools by establishing a state nor
NAL school at Pendleton. The location
is central, the interest of the people of
Pendleton in education most excellent,
and the large number of pupils in the
public schools will give ample oppor-
tunity to all students to get the amount
of teaching practice required in a
standard normal school,"

PREVENTION OF OATS SMUT
FormaIdehdye Treatment Has Been
Thoroughly Tested and Found Ef-
fective Against Disease.

Just before seeding oats is the time
to prevent oats smut. The Tornado
hyde treatment has been thoroughly
tested and found effective, and is the
cheapest kind Of insurance against the
disease. AS an example, the Cornell
station points out that man who
planted FIVE acres of oats last year
had a fourth of II affected by smut,
so that the yield was only $50 bush
els. Had he treated the seed, there
would have been an additional so
bushels. At so cents bushel this in
creased yield would have brought him
$25. The treatment, including mate
rial and labor, could not cost more
than 50, which would have meant
net profit of $23. Farm experts claim
that it pays to treat seed oats even
if it prevents only two per cent loss.
The formaldehyde solution, which is
a colorless pungent liquid and prefer
ably of 40 per cent strength as pur-
chased, may be obtained at any drug
store for about 80 cents a pint. It
sometimes goes under the trade name
of formalin.

WEIGH AND TEST MILK
Lack of Records Is Reason for
Improbable Cows.
Only Reliable Way to Learn Whether
Individual Animals in Dairy Are
Paying ls 70 Keep Tab on
Production Of Each.

II is variously estimated that one
fourth TO one-third of the number of
COWS in Wisconsin-one OF the very
best dairy states in the Union-belong
TO the class that is referred TO as
"robber cows" or star boarders,"
from the fact that they do not pay
for their keep, to say nothing about
yielding a profit to their owners. Ac-
cording to Mr.. F. N. Woll, the main
reason why farmers continue to keep
such COWS is that they do not know
how the accounts stand with the indi-
vidual cows in their herds. They do
not know how much milk or butter
fat the different cows produce, nor
how much feed they consume, or
it's cost.
There are, on the other hand, many
dairy herds in the state that average
over twice ITO pounds Of butterfat
(the estimated average production in
the state) year. These are yielding

COLTS AND CALVES IN FALL
Practical Dairymen and Horsemen
Make Most Profit Out of Animals
Dropped in Autumn.

We have inherited from our ances-
tors the idea that spring is the time
for calves and colts. But the most
practical dairymen now know that
cows which freshen in the fall are
apt TO make them more money than
the ones which come in in the spring.
The succulent pastures OF May and
June cause a great flow when milk is
cheapest: and the usual August
drought cuts down the yield so early
in lactation that the loss IN getting
the COW back or trying to do so is
great.
When milk is dearest the cows are
drying up. But the fall freshening
cow, when comfortably housed, gives
her full yield in the winter, when milk
is scarce. Just as she begins to need
crowding, to prevent a shrinkage in
her yield, the spring grass comes on
and gives her the required boost. The
August drought strikes her about the
time she ought to begin to dry off,
anyhow.
But fewer realize the arguments
for the fall colt. The dam Of colt
dropped in October has the entire
winter Of leisure to devote to the
duties Of maternity. She is off work
when the drain on her vitality is the
greatest If the colt has warm quar-
tiers at night and during stormy
weather he will do as well as he
would in summer. When he is weaned,
the grass is ready for him. He has
more vitality to devote to flies and
mosquitoes. Some mighty good horse
men think the fail colt is the only
colt for them

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won
products of the farm. the orchard and
the centres OF industry. No country
wrote a brighter page Of history In
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
a billion bushels OF grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average s24
and will not exceed s35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the En-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave OF abb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished TO work in the harvest fields.
and their labor was an important fac
tor in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the az
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916. and 1t is
now announced that soldiers in Cam
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length OF time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
In every Province Of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting OF
