OIL COMP ANY
PROTESTS LAW

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 25.-The
Standard Oil Co. OF California applied
to the state railroad commission for
authority to issue common stock to a
par value of $24,S43,S00, recently de-
clared as a so per cent dividend, but
specifically stated that it makes this
application under duress and compul-
sion" and reserved the right to object
to the commissions jurisdiction over
its affairs.
The application stated that it was
made solely to comply with the law,
but that it was not to be construed as
assenting to the commissions legal
authority over it. This position was
taken because the last regular session
of the legislature included pipe lines
among public utilities, under certain
conditions. The Standard Oil. in its
application. said that pipe lines were
only an incidental part Of its business.

we, the students OF the Agricultural
college, assembled, do hereby resolve:
First, that we express our most sin
cere appreciation of the splendid and
unseltish work Of our president during
his twenty years of administration,
and also that we have great respect
for the sincerity which he has shown
in the present regrettable controversy,
and further that we hereby pledge to
him our earnest loyalty.
Second, that we place great confld-
ence in the character of the board of
regents and our respect for their mo-
tives leads us to believe that they con-
template no such action in regard to
the reduction of the curriculum as
might be inferred, from what we regret
to say is an untimely and ill-advised
statement OF the members of the
board, but let it be known that we be-
lieve these statements to have been
made unaware Of the construction that
has been and may be put upon them.
Third. that we consider the merging
Of the Better Farming association and
the extension department a wise move
but we regret the appearance of
sinister influence at work and also
the division of power that has arisen
in consequence. Further, we express
our sincere hope that at as early a
time as possible the college, expert
ment station and extension department
shall be brought under the control of
the president of the institution;

 The custom in milder form ig referred to in work published in 1906, entitled "Courtship, Love and Matrimony."
 "Albeit it has now become a part of the common laws in re- gards to social relations of life that as often Gs every bissextile year odth return, the Iadys have the sole priyileg during thee time it contiuueth of making love unto the men, which they dca either by words Or by lOOkes, as to them 1t seemeth proper; and, moreover, no man shall be entitled to the bene- fit of clergy who odth in any wise treate her proposal with slight or contunely."-From The People S Home Journal for February

 Her random pictures through

 again
 One picture Of the May. The veil Is parted wide, and 10, A moment, though my eyelids
 close, Once more l see that wooded hill Where the arbutus grows. Hark! from the mOss-clung apple

 Beyond the tumbled way, there
 broke That gUrgling music of the May TT WAS the first robin spoke!
