Amid an artistic array of Christmas
greenery and sparkling tinsel garlands
the formal semester party of the Phi
lodosian and Philodorian societies Sat
urdav evening in Waller hall was one
of the gayest of Willamette 's fall So
cial calendar. The affair took the ma
ture of a mock trial to which King
Grover Gates and Queen Barbara Stein
er, the elective regents of the social
kingdom for the evening, summoned
the program committee, Miss Ruth Per
niger and Arnold Gralapp, to meet the
displeasure of the assemblage by fail
ure to present program. After wit
ty display of pleading for the prisoners,
the attorneys convinced the judge that
the committee erred. An impromptu
program of readings by the Misses
Odell Savage and Beatrice Walton and
vocal duet by the Misses Lucille Me-
Gully and Louise Benson was then
thoroughly enjoyed.
Later Santa Claus as interpreted by
Harold Tobie distributed presents to
the citizens and taxpayers of the realm
before ices, cakes and candy We're serv-
ed by the Philodosians. Closing with

the HA club to encore the ice cream

table fact that not one-tenth Of
the grain is taken out of the
shock until it can be threshed,
and consequently much of it is
lost or SO badly sprouted or
bleached that it will hardly sell
at all.
And this is not the only loss
we have to contend with in the
saving of an oats crop in this
country.
Cutting with a moving ma
chine and raking up with a hay
rake will cause a loss of from
three to seven bushels per acre
over what would be lost when
handled with one of the better
class of binders now to be had at
a fair price. The same applies
to the use of what is known as a
reaping attachment to be used
on a mower, except, perhaps,
there will not be a loss of over
four bushels per acre. However,
the expense for labor to bind
and shock will make quite an
item to be charged up to loss.
Also the bundles made by the
binder will stand handling much
better than that tied by hand,
consequently saving another loss.
The modern binder, stacking
or housing as soon as dry, will
save many a bushel of oats for
the Southern oats raiser, besides
saving the crop in such a condi-
ton that it will sell much more
readily, and at much better
price than when harvested by
the old slow method, and left to
stand in the shock waiting for
the thresher until the rains have
damaged it.
Neighboring farmers having
less than rs acres of oats should
go together and buy a binder, as
one will easily take care of over
a hundred acres in good time, in
an ordinary season, and do it
better, quicker, and cheaper
than any other way.
