GAS ENGINE COURSE
IS VERY POPULAR


y large number of farmers from
different parts of the state have al
ready arrived i'm Pullman for the
three weeks gas engine course, which
started Monday. with correspondence
from other farmers indicating that
the enrolment will exceed that of
any previous year by a considerable
margin. The increased interest in
gasoline tractors this year is taken
by those in charge of the course here
to indicate that many farmers will
adopt the tractor method of solving
the farm labor problem.
Twelve different types of farm
tractors have been loaned to the col
leee by the manufacturing companies

ascertain just which type of tractor

". S. CO. A. c. GAME
TO Be IN PORTLAND
Yearly Football Game Between Aggie
Schools To BE on Turkey Day
Due to Finances

Due to the withdrawal from Port
land of the football game between
the two Oregon schools, the athletic
boards CT the State College and Ore
gon Agricultural College, have agreed
to play the football game between
the two schools in Portland on
Thanksgiving Day, according to an
announcement made by Coach Boiler
on his return from Oregon Sunday.
On the recent trip of the State Col
lege basket ball tteam, Boiler and
Manager Leach of Corvallis con-
ferred on the arrangements and a
satisfactory agreement was reached.
Ordinarily the two schools have
played on each others fields, but the
withdrawal of Oregon's most heated
game from Portland left a chance
for the two managers to make a sub
stantial gain in receipts which they
gladly accepted.

Bill Sanctioned by Surgeon General
of United States Arm ilI
Affect W. =.

There has been a bill introduced
into the House of Representatives
known as House Resolution 93ll.
/, is entitled "A Bill for the Reor-
sanitation of the Medical Depart
meut of the United States Army"
Section of this bin reads as fol
lows:
There shall be established a de
partment OF pharmacy with a com
missioned officer at the head who
shall rank as colonel and with such
number of commissioned subordi-
mates with ranks of majors, captains.
and lieutenants, as may be deter
mined by the chief of the medical
corps and the Secretary of War, all
Of whom must be graduates of some
recognized college of pharmacy.
This department shall be charged
with the purchase and distribution
OF all medical and hospital supplies,
the care, preservation and prepare
ton of medicines, dressings, books.
and appliances, and the sterilization
and care of all Instruments. 1t shall
also be charged with the clerical
work, the maintenance of records. and
the correspondence relating to hos
pitfalls and their inmates, the render
ing of returns, reports, and records
pertaining 10 the sick and wounded. y
1t is understood that this bill has
the approval of the surgeon general
of the United States army. Up to
the present time pharmacists have
had no recognition in the army. If
this bill should pass, as it likely will,
it will afford opportunities for the
placing of a great many commits
stoned officers. Its scope is so wide
that it will relieve the NJ. DIS OF
much that they are now required &c
do. Without doubt should this bill
pass, pharmacists would be placed in
the exempted class as is now being
done with physicians, dentists, vet
erinarians, engineers, etc. This bill
is a substituted bill, introduced tc
replace the Edmonds bill, which was
introduced some time previously, and
| which has been given wholehearted
support by pharmacists all over the
| United States.

MEDICINE PLANTS WANTED

Many calls for seeds or shoots with
which to start the raising of medicine
plants are being received by Prof
Dirstine, head of the pharmacy de-

medicine plants was made by Dr.
Maxwell, former head of the phar-

". A, A. TO STAGE
THREE ONE-ACT PLAYS
,v,t Humor, and Novelty Combined
aba an Unusual Program for
entertainment March 1

r., friday evening March l, there
lii be chance for everyone to
laugh and enjoy three of the most
srarkling playlets ever staged at the
ctote College of Washington, or, for
.sot matter, put on behind the foot
lights anywhere.
The Women's Athletic association,
.,ouring the open date on which any
ooIlegiate organization may stage a
,,av. has decided to recognize the
universal favorite, the one-act sketch,
and instead of conforming to the old
stvle conventional three or four-act
MAY will put on three short comedies
and thereby introduce the modern
ism of the Little Theatres of the
twentieth century to Pullman audi
ences,
The plays are to be given as a
Red ross benefit and the net receipts
will 90 to swell the diminished eX-
cheouer of the Pullman branch.
Although it will be the first time
that the Women's Athletic Associa-
ton has ever put on an evenings en-
tertainment, the playlets themselves,
and the we'll known stars of the col
legiate armament who are taking the
parts, give double assurance of sue
cess The lines, the humor of the
situations and the acting itself, forms
an alliance that is sure to make for
a laugh every odd minute, while the
fact that there are three themes of
interest instead Of only one, will give
the whole evening the variety that
is always figuratively hailed as the
spice of life.
How the Vote Was Won" by Gee
ely Hamilton, is as typically English
as man who never recognizes his
"h' and as humorously original as
the daring English suffragists them
selves in the days before the war.
The very fact that all the men are
called upon to support their female
relatives until the vote is given them
sounds ridiculous, but when one man
in particular finds himself so bur
dened. there is a situation that is
ludicrous and laughable in the ex-
IRENE.
Where Shall We Go" is a French
sketch by Henri Layendan that sug-
gests in name that there is case
of Where Do We Go From Here?"
in progress, and indeed the thought
and action of the piece does center
around that one idea. Instead of a
company of Johnnies in khaki to
sing the refrain, however, there are
five children of varying ages, a
French mama and incidentally a po-
lite French papa who cares nothing
where they go as long as it is some
where out of his sight and hearing.
In the climax, which is also the end
of the action, is the principal laugh
stored.
Joint Owners in Spain" an
American contribution, by Alice
Brown, gives splendid opportunity
for character work. An old ladies'
home, quick-tempered scold who
might well have been the wife of
Rip Van Wrinkle, a chalk line and a
modest, fearful little old maid are
the central points of interest, and
from these develops joint ownership,
peace and content, as we'll as much
amusement.

More than two decades ago there

he was reduced almost to poverty.
Little Jake was widely known as

In Detroit one day he met sullivan

Receipts Are Lighter And
Damage to Soft Corn

Chicago, Feb. 10. - Unfavorable
weather gave some degree of frmness
today to the corn market. Excessive
moisture and low temperatures made
a combination which seemed likely to
cause further damage to soft corn.
Besides, receipts did not have the
volume that would have been pleasing
to the bears. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as yesterdays
finish to nc of, with March Sl;21h
and May $1.26%, were followed by
slight upturn and then little reac-

Oats climbed to new high price
records for the season. The chief

Just what the future holds for base
ball in these uneasy times is Ques-
ton that has been variousiy answered
by club owners and moguls. Some
are quite optimistic about 1t, belieV-
ing that the game is going to pull
through its troubles in fine shape
while others are disposed to see moth
ing much better than the worst. Harry
Hempstsad, president Of the New
York Giants, and Tom Hickey, presi-
dent Of the American association,
represent pretty well these two points
OF view.
When It is kept in mind that Hemp
stead has club that should make
money if such q thing happens to any
club at all and that his Giants are
about as well-favored q crew as there
is In the game, his optimism may be
taken not too seriously. He has rea-
son to be gay and optimistic II ever
anyone did. Just the same, Hampstead
has said that with fair break OF
luck the national pRstime should have
a first rate reason this>year and that
few should suffer.
''It Ia my opinion" said Hampstead
recently that baseball will continue
to hold the public interest at a time
when some distraction from our wor-
-ries and sadness Is necessary. There
may be falling on In attendance
except on holidays and Sundays. But
even though the crowds are smaller
the interest in the game will not die
out and the fans will continue to
study the pennant races and read
about the games in the papers at
least. THAT'S the important part. the
men behind the game can afford to
lose q bit for one season or so, but
they do not want to see the interest
In baseball subside. And If the fans
keep their eye on the scores, whether
they 60, to the game or not, basebalrs
future is reasonably secure"
Tom Hickey, on the other hand, Is
not in position TO regard the thing
in so philosophical q mood There is
not the least doubt that the American
association faces a quite critical sea
times since he took the chair in the
association, but he Is likely to see the
stormiest this year. More than q few
baseball men are predicting certain
disaster for the A. A. They declare
that some day this summer the cir
and then It's troubles will be over.
The international league has decided
not to take the field this year and
many believe that the association
would have been wise had 1t taken
Then again there was the proposed
Union league that was regarded by
many as the one salvation OF the
minors. Small QuarrelB and Jealous
les I'm the association put this plan on
indianapolis, Louisville, Toledo and
Columbus join with Buffalo, Newark,
Baltimore and Toronto to form a new
circuit. The failure Of this plan to
go through left the International
league in so desperate a plight that
the towel was tossed in. Those who
were in support Of the idea will like
w be on hand to eXult and shout
liz the A. A. is unable
to get through the season.
