.ELKS HAD FINE
TIME At CONDOR
Visitors We're Royalty Entertained
On Recent Trip-Dance and
Banquet Featured-12O of
the Antlered Herd and
Wives Enjoyed
Trip.

Heppner Elks who were fortunate
enough to board the special train for
Condor last Saturday are still talk
ing of the trip and of the royal en-
tertainment given them while they
were in the Wheat City.
There were 120 people on the train
by the time it reached Condor. Upon
descending from the train there, they
found the city to be a blaze of glory
in the decorations along the streets.
The business houses made it known
that the visitors were welcome, not
only through their cordial greeting
but through the abundant window
decorations. The Elks went at once
to the lodge hall where large class
of candidates were initiated into the
order Later, dance and banquet
was held Many of the local Elks
state it was the most enjoyable dance
they ever attended. The Multnomah
orchestra of Portland furnished the
music and the dance was carried on
until late hour.
The return trip was made to this
city Sunday, the special arriving at
the local depot about ten o'clock.

FREE ROSE SL|P0FFER
AGAIN FROM j. 0F0.
Six Thousand Clippings Will BE
Ready February for Shipment
Eastern Oregon Consign-
ments Later.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan.
22.-February / will see 5000 har-
dy rose clippings ready to send out
for planting on Oregon lawns.
This practice was begun in 1914,
when H. M. Fisher, superintendent Of
grounds, instead of throwing away
the tops clipped from the University S
fine rose hedges, put them in the
ground, where almost all took root.
A circular letter was then sent to the
high schools, announcing that the
University would be glad to send
from IL to 20 cuttings to any school
that cared to write for shipment.
Since then, this yearly custom has
added to the beauty of many school
lawns.
Last year there were 1000 slips
available, but so many requests came
in that a number had to be held over
until this winter. For the 1917 sup
ply only two applications have come
in so far: one from H. G. Tschanz,
principal of the Long creek high
school and the other from H, H. Hoff-
man, superintendent of schools at
Heppner The usual dluge Of re-
quests is expected, however as soon
as announcement of the slips is made.
Mr.. Fisher has had letters from all
parts of the state, proclaiming dis
tinct success in the growing of these
roses from cuttings.
Eastern Oregon shipments will be
delayed as long as possible in order
to escape the coolest weather. Mr..
Fisher says he has never had such a
lot of vigorous shrubs as this year,
and that even last fall the slips for
this years shipping were loaded with
bloom.
Orders will be filed in the order of
receipt. The slips are, of course, do
mated.

MAKES PLEA IN BEHALF
OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
c. G. Chapman, Editor Oregon Voter
Sees Great Good Done Through
Extension Work of o. A. G.
Editor Gazette-Times:

The city is competing with the
farm for young people of Oregon.
Unless farm life is made more in
teresting and attractive, the lure of
the bright lights will contiue to draw
more and more of the boys and girls
of our state away from the whole
some country into the sordid conges-
tion of the metropolis.
To help make agriculture more in
teresting to young people, and farm
life more attractive, there have been
installed in many schools courses in
agriculture. opening the mind to
knowledge which transforms mere
drudgery into enthusiasm.
Our Agriculture College, through
its extention courses and the work
of the county agriculturists, has been
cooperating with the state superin-
tendent of public instruction and the
local school authorities to popularize
scientific knowledge. While this
educational work has resulted in bet
ter crops and more profits, that is
less important than what it does for
the young people.
This work is sustained by state ap-
preparations. One of these appro-
priations has been cut out; the 9TH
ers are in jeopardy. The fathers
and mothers of Oregon should make
it known to their legislators that
this work should not be sacrificed so
long as it is possible to economize,
and these agricultural education
items will be eliminated unless legis-
lators learn that these expenditures
ar of great benefit to the boys and
girls of the state.

M'AdoO Favors Spanish.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan
ga personal letter from William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury
was received recently by H. F. Har-
than, professor of Spanish in the Uni
versity of Oregon, urging him to try
to popularize the study of Spanish
with Oregon students.
Secretary McAdoo sees a valuable
future for Spanish in the United
States, especially on the Pacific Coast
because of recent developments in
Central and South America and in
Mexico.
"The United States Government is
laying special stress on the learning
of commercial and conversational
Spanish in the universities just now
for it realizes the indispensibility OF
the language if we would successfully
promote trade relations with our
southern neighbors,' said Mr.. Har-
than.
Spanish is one of the most popular
courses in the University; more than
200 students take 1t. Mr.. Harthan
has spent several years in South
America.
