Professor j. b .Horner Says Oregon
School is Doing Share i'm
Present Crisis.

"The World War will last from
three to thirty years." said Professor
j. B. Horner of the Oregon Agricul
tural College in recent interview
while in this city the first of the week.
with Gazette-Times representative.
Professor Horner bases this state
ment upon facts he has learned from
various sources and from the men
who stand high in the military af-
fairs OF this country. 1t was a no.
ticeable fact at the opening of the
war that the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege students who had previous thor
ough military training offered their
services to Uncle Sam. However the
War Department through Major Bell
has issued statement to students in
land grant colleges that they can
best serve their government by re-
naming under military and indus
trial instruction until their services
are called for. Therefore, the Ore
gon Agricultural College and other
institutions of that type are COOP
Grating with the government in edu-
eating young men and women to be
of the greatest possible aid in the,
movement of food preparedness,
which is to decide the war; also the
institution desires to be helpful in
placing Oregon boys who go to war
in positions of rank where their valor
and their lives will count for most.
For this purpose, the College Fac
ulty are visiting every nook and cor
ner of the State during their vacation
to meet young men and women who
need help in this national crisis ut
would be regarded as patriotic act
on the part of anyone" said Prof.
Horner, ito send the College the
name and address of any one who
ought to make better preparation for
the defense and protection of our
country"
From the large number of students
who have registered in the Oregon
Agricultural College from Heppner
and vicinity, Professor Horner recalls

time was dean of athletics for Nor
