| Whether or not general farm hands
automatically come under the provis
ions of the workmen s compensation
act is the problem that is now up tothC
Oregon supreme court, as the result OF
an appeal from a decision of Judge
George Bagley of Tillamook county in
the case Of Wesley Reney against the
State Industrial Accident commission
Judge Bagley, in writ of general re-
view, decided that farm hands do au
tomatically come under the provisions
of the act and that the plaintiff was
entitled to compensation
The case was brought by Wesley
Reney as the result of having his hand
cut off while operating an ensilage cut
ter by d. R. Tinnerstet. The accident
commission denied the application for
compensation on account of the fact
that Tinnerstet had not made applica-
ton to come under the provisions of
the act.
The case presents two problems that
may face the accident commission. The
supreme court recently held that farm
hands engaged in hazard employment
come under the employers liability act.
Should the supreme court decide that
the farm hands come under the com
pensation act only in an optional sense,
it is expected the commission will re-
ceive flood of applications.

 Another was sent to Sergeant C.. w. Durham, Camp Pike, Arkansas; another to A. G. Bader, Fort Russell, Cheyenne, Wyoming; one to Lester Powers, Naval Cantonment, Mare Is- land, Cal; one to Charles McGookin, American Expeditionary Force, Hauts, England, and two others to Rem GUS Hook and Dave Babbitt, Aero Squadron, Salisbury Plains, England.
 Should any have been overlooked it will be an easy matter to speak to Mrs. Porter and a bag will be sent immediately. The pleasure it affords the committee in sending the bags can not be too lightly estimated.
 The knitting machine for socks and wristlets has arrived and the work will begin next week. Another con- signment of yarn will be forthcoming and rapid progress will be made in the knitted articles.
 One thing we are pleased to mention this week is the hearty response giv- en the call for funds for comfort bags be the Normal Training school. We know the number of children there is not large, but generous contri- button of twenty dollars was handed in. The children will feel they have indeed had part in giving pleasure and comfort to the soldiers.

 Germany Has Lost Her Soul.
 An unusually strong talk upon the present war, was given at the Fed erated Church. Dr. Baum told of the Germany of yesterday, leaving no one unconvinced but that German had lost her soul. America stood ready to lose hers, should she, like Germany, give up her Bible, her Sabbath and her God. Let us ever stand firm for these things. Next Sunday Dr. Baum will talk in the morning on Troubled by Thoughts of God. In the evening one may we'll imagine this to be an interesting topic, Cutting Down Fruit Trees" Come out and hear both.

 Show Success.
 The Shakespeare Club feels much gratified over the result of its pie ture show. While the consensus of opinion among the club members had been that more popular picture would draw larger crowd, yet the result shows many were interested from both standpoints-that of seeing Hugo's masterpiece and an added in terest in the Red Cross. A fine mat inee helped swell the receipts. The club was most pleased to turn over thirty-five dollars to the Red Cross Thanks are extended by the club to their patrons and Mrs. Porter, as Chairman, most gratefully acknowl- edges the donation.

 Food Campaign Success.
 The campaign on Food Conserva- tion was most telling one in Coco nino county. MT. Alex Johnston, as director, has nothing but praise for the managers who so ably assisted him in the Food Drive.
 The ladies gave up their time that each home might be visited and mem- bers urged to sign a card. Only those who have made canvasses themselves understand the difficulties these la dies had to deal with, but one and all speak of the unanimous co-opera- tion on the part of all. To date pledges have been received from 1125 heads of households willing to save in the various homes. Small outly- ing districts are still to be heard from.
 Wheatless days and meatless days are now in order due to these pledges. 240 Normal students signed cards ad- mitting their willingness to conserve and help others to do the same. 9th CTS are still to sign. Miss Ryan, Do- mestic Science teacher at the Nor1 mal, proposes to cooperate with the Food Administrator by practical dem- onstrations of war-breads and other suggested recipes. These will truly be most helpful.

 A Halloween entertainment at Se- dona school on the night of Oct 31 drew every one for miles around. Miss Katherine Kennedy was instrumental in interesting her pupils in presenting truly Halloween play.
