of the college'but it Is every friend :
duty to speak in its behalf. The res
olution states the college training is
unethical and urges farmers to re-
flain from sending their boys and
girls TO the institution.
Let the results procured by the col
lege speak for themselves. There
are now five hundred thirty younA
men training at the oregon Agricul-
tural College serving their hation in
the army and navy. At least -four
hundred of these young men arc
serving as commissioned ana nom
commissioned officers. The rank oil
/ ninety-five others is uncertuin and il
is probable that most Of them, on ac-
count of their previous military train.
ing, are serving as Officers. There Is
in this list one lieutenant colonel
eight captains. thirty first lieutenants
seventy-five second ueutenants. and
twenty-five now in the officers train,
ing camps. This means that the
Oregon Agricultural College has pre-,
pared this large number of young
men for the army at q time when
training of this kind IS or the great
est value to the nation.
Not only that, but it II now giving
/ military training to seven hundred
/ thirty-two men at the cvnege. Re-
suits such as these should speak loud
er than the insinuations of those WHIT
place the stigma of unethical upon
the training of the schour, and urge
the boys and girls OF Oregon to re.
main away because the .usutution Is
an unfit place within which to secure
This training.

While the attendance Of most ot

WON'T EAT ANTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. al
Jimmy, the ant-eater," mascot
of the L. S, Marines in France,
just won't eat ants.
He'll eat anything but ants
although once in a while the
cook slips IL over on him by
camouflaging insects IN scraps
of bread. OF course, Jimmy
thinks he's eating rais-n bread
but what's the difference?
Jimmy became attached to
the Marines at Vera Cruz, more

then has led an adventurous
life When the seu-so1diers
went overseas he went along.
He greatly puzzles the French
poilu with his choice of foods.
He eats AL the aps-even

In short he eats anything and

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ Is IS too
much to pay for an Easter hat?
ca Is it proper to hold boys coat

Eight dollars for an Easter hat would
be extremely high for some to spend
because they cannot afford 1t and
they can have very nice selection
for $5 or even less. Eight dollars for
other people with large incomes would
seem a very moderate price to pay.
(2) 1t is not considered proper for
a girl to hold a boys coat at any time.

could organize Tell Me a Story"

There could be season tickets for the

be offered on King Arthur and His
Knights" Greek and Roman Tales"
Robin Hood" and all the other stor-
les that children ought to know.
When l see SO many mothers drag

think Of this plan. l am a stranger

months. No one knows me and l
know only my teachers and a few

(2) Do you think I could do 1t for
the public library? ANXIOUS.
"a 1 think there is a splendid
chance for you to do this. Get the
names Of first grade children at the
grammar schools and then call on
their mothers and tell them your
plan. You could have one or two
story hours an afternoon and charge
Is cents for each child. You will
make more money il you do not over
charge. 1t probably would be better
and more convenient for the mothers
| il you took about ten children living
near each other and taught them at
the home of one of the children. You
probably could get some mother to
let you use her home II you did no.
charge for her child. In this way
you could have several classes in diff
ferent localities.

terested in your scheme. 1t would be
worth while to talk the matter over
with the librarian.
