A STUDENT JOKE.
Conspiracy OF Silence That Put En-
Professor In Parie.

Professor In Parie.
Professor Elias LOOMS for man
years occupied the chair OF astrono
my at Yale and was the author Of
the well known series of mathemat
ical text books.
Pro essor LOOMS repeated each
year % the junior class course Of
lectures on physics. The lecture
were illustrated by experiments
and in one on compressed air he
explained the principle OF the well
Known air gun. -
The students of each succeeding
class as they entered the room for
this particular lecture found on the
side of the room remote from the
platform a small target. After ex-
planning the operation OF the gun
Professor LOOMS was in the habit
of landing three of its projectilss
with mathematical accuracy in the
center of the bullseys.
The professor was always APP
plauded for this feat, but his grim
face, covered by a tightly drawn
skin Of parchment hue, never show
cd thc slightest sign OF qualification
or recognition OF any kind. To him
II was apparently only a scientific
experiment to be exactly demon
strated.
One class OF Juniors, however,
who had learned OF the immemorial
incident from the then seniors, at

their own. the subject being maths-
NAUTICAL and scientific human ma
ture.
Three puffs from the air gun, and,
although the studonte saw that the
bullseyo WAS perforated as usual,
there was not a sound of applause.
Professor LOOMS looked a moment
1t the elias in n startled way, then
at the target, and then. with a do
gree OF emotion no had never be-
fore shown, exclaimed:
"Didn't il hit2 Didn't it hiti
Didn't il hit?"
A roar q laughter, followed by
even more than the usual applause,
showed the professor that he had
not lost his mathematical accuracy.

GOOSE MEAT is NUTRITIOUS
Fowls Will Be Found Profitable In
Regions Of Cheap Land and
Abundant Pasturage.

If the goose of the fable was able
to lay a golden egg there is no reason
why her progeny of the present era
cannot repeat this miracle in a more
concrete form. Goose meat is nutri-
tious and palatable and not greasy
when properly cooked, and an extern
sion of goose raising in the regions
Of cheap land where pasturage is
abundant is a suggested source Of
cheaper meat.
Geese are raised chiefly in the South
and middle West, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Missouri and Arkansas being the
chief supply sources. During the dec
ade ending in 1910 the total number of
geese declined % per cent, largely be-
cause Of the lack Of cheap pasture
and the limited demand for goose
feathers and goose flesh.
The Toulouse. Emden, Chinese and
African are the most popular Ameri-
can breeds of geese, the first two
greatly leading the others. Occasion
ally the eggs are used for cooking, but
generally geese are kept only for meat
and feather production. Practically
all the geese in this country are raised
in small flocks on general farms, some
men making speciality of collecting
large numbers Of geese and fatten-
ing them for a few weeks before they
are killed. AS grass makes up the
bulk of feed for geese, it is doubt
full whether it pays to raise them un-

also a desirable feature.

INTERCHURCH PLAN
Pastors Of Various Denomina-
tons Pleased BY County
Conferences,

The county Interchurch conferences
held throughout the Inland Empire
between April and 16 were so large
ly attended that in many cases the
churches engaged for the meetings
were not large enough to accommodate
the crowd.
Explanatory addresses. some illus
trated by charts and lantern pictures,
provided a mass of information about
the Interchurch World Movement; and
the pastors and laymen who attended
represented virtually every Protestant
church in the Inland Empire.
That public sentiment is decidedly
in favor of the Interchurch movement,
was the opinion Of leaders Of the group
of speakers who had in charge the
various county conferences.
There was not note of dissension
anywhere" said the Rev. J. E. Smith,
pastor of the First Baptist church, Spo-
kane. 1.-THE youns peoples meetings
we're remarkably well attended. The
people of the Inland Empire are keenly
interested in the Interchurch move
ment and our only considerable OBJ
stacle is a lack of adequate informa-
ton. The time has come for church
partnership in place Of rivalry"
Biggest Thing Since Reformation"
IF the Interchurch plans are carried
through. this win be the biggest thing
in the Protestant church since Ldther.s

Reformation" said Rev. George w.
Knepper, pastor of the Central Chris
tian church, Spokane. For the first
time in history the Protestant church
has an adequate sense of its task and
has definitely planned an adequate
campaign to meet the need. This CO.
operation will not only stir the local
churches to their very depths, but will
bring forth an outpouring of life and
money that will bless every needy
field of the work. God is on the
move. we must go with him or go
under"
Il am impressed by the cooperative
efforts shown by the conference" said
]. G. Eldridge, dean of the University
of Idaho faculty, Moscow, Idaho. THE
Interchurch is movement force1 on
the churches by the world situation,
and the same need for joint activity
applies to the Inland Empire"
"Brings New Vision"
There is no doubt but that the
Interchurch is bringing vision which
will mean a new day for the religious
life of the Inland Empire" said the
Rev. H. o. Perry, pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Moscow,
Idaho. ut surely brings a challenge
to Professionalism when it is proposed
to sit down together in every county
and work out together an adequate
program for that county. The confer
ence has carried US long way to-
ward the goal, and there is undoubted-
ly a great revival coming to us ALL"

range during the grass season. South
ern plantation owners keep geese to
kill the weeds in the cotton fields.
The eggs may be Matched by either
hens or geese. Some breeders prefer
to raise all the goslings under hens,
as geese sometimes become difficult to
manage when allowed to hatch and
rear their young. The period of in
cubation Of goose eggs varies from %
to, 80 days.
Goslings do not need food until
they are twenty-four to thirty-six
hours old, when they should be fed
one of the mashes recommended for
chickens or goslings, or mash or
dough of two-thirds shorts (middlings)
and one-third cornmeal, which can
be made of equal parts shorts and
cOrnmeal, with per cent Of beef
scrap added after the goslings are
six weeks old. Bread and milk make
an excellent feed for young goslings.
Fine grit or sharp sand should also
be available in cold weather.
Most geese breeders do not confine
their geese for fattening, but feed
them freely few weeks on fattening
ration before they are to be marketed
The geese may be confined for two or
three weeks and fattened, but some
green feed or vegetables should be
added to the ration.

NOT SUCH A BIG

campaign, April rs to May 2, are

it?
But it isn't. It's only one-third
