UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,
Eugene.-"Pioneering' is the eX-
preston DR., Chester l.. Carlisle,
( captain of the United States Pub
/ lie Health Service, conducting the
Oregon State survey Of mental de
feet, delinquency and dependen-
cy, finds for the part the UniVer-
sity of Oregon is playing in the
survey.
He asserts positively that this
is the first time in the history
of the world when the citizenry
of a district or state have taken
part in conducting a survey Of
this nature. Previously such in
vestigation has been made in the
hands of staffs or organizations,
but in this instance the state,
through the instrumentality of the
university, is enlisting the public
for research.
"The greatest value of this sur
yey, which was ordered by the
legislature in special session, will
be in proving the efficacy Of the
method which the university is
inaugurating and in educating the
people of the state, by the investi-
cations they conduct, in the in
terests of the survey to the cOndi-
tions of mental deficiency exist
ing here and everywhere" says
Doctor Carlisle.
This is not the first time the
University Of Oregon has gone /
a-pioneering in the interests OF
better citizenship. As she is now
in the interests of control
of mental deficiency, her practi-
cal achievements in perlecting the
mental and physical vigOr Of Ore
gonians have been decisive. Out
side the scholastic field in foren-
sic and in athletics and all other
of achievement she has
risen above her opponents, won
meets, seized victories and earned
championships. Oregon is pio-
.eer," AYERS Doctor Carlisle

Rad MAN ESCAPES
WITH HANDCUFFS

Glenn Duncan, who was arrest
ed in Ashland last Friday for the
theft of an automobile in Rose
burg, escaped from the officers
while hp was being taken back to
Douglas county, Sunday after
noon. The deputy sheriff and his
handcuffed prisoner occupied the
rear seat of the machine as they
neared Myrtle Creek. Duncan,
while the officer leaned over the
front seat to converse with the
driver, leaped from the machine
and lodged into the brush. Two
shots were fired at the escaping
man. neither of which took effect,
and before the officer had alight-
ed from the automobile the pris-
oner had disappeared completely.
A search was at once instituted
end a posse formed to find Dun
cali, but so far as has been learned
has not been heard from.
Several charges are against
Duncan, it is learned. He is said
TO have passed several worthless
cbecks in Roseburg, previous to

BEST VARIETIES
OF GRAIN GROWN

A movement has been launched
by the Farm Bureau TO determine
what are the best varieties OF
wheat, barley and oats to grow in
this county, and to get pure
strains OF these varieties estab-
lished over the county. The wheat
has long been such a mixture OF
varieties that it is usually dis
criminated against on the market.
Farmers have been getting their
seed from theirs and their neigh
bors's best fields, regardless of va
riety, yield, milling or feeding
qualities of the grain.
This practice must give way for
q business-like selection of seeds
that will mean agricultural pros
perity for the county. 1t costs
but little more to plant good seed
than 1t does to plant mixed seeds.
The trouble has been in the past
that 1t has been hard to find pure
strains of desirable varieties.
1t is hoped that the farmers of
the county will take advantage of
the efforts being put forth by the
Farm Bureau in behalf of pure
strains of tried varieties. If the
farmer has been raising grain
or If he has an established opin-
ion that certain varieties of wheat
and barley are best adapted to
this county, he is asked to give
the Farm Bureau the benefit of
his knowledge and experience so
that it will be possible to concen-
trate efforts along the lines they
will be the most effective. The
former to meet the present con-
ditions confronting him, must
produce a better grade of live
stock, better and higher yielding
varieties of alfalfa, wheat, barley
and oats.

MRS. CORDELL LAID.
TO REST SATURDAY.

The funeral services of Mrs.
Mamie l.. Cordell were held in
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Victor Mills, Saturday, June 26,
conducted by Rev. c. f. Koehler,
pastor of the local Presbyterian
church. The remains were buried
in the Ashland cemetery.
Mrs. Cordell was born Novem-
Der IS, 1868, on a farm near Har-
rodsburg, Ky, This farm proved
a quiet retreat during the war and
here her childhood and youth
were spent in quiet contentment
ard unalloyed happiness. Her
earlier married life also was most
happy. Later the malady took
possession OF her which proved
incurable and resulted in untold
suffering up to the time of her
death.
Though handicapped seriously
in this manner she yet served her
generation we'll She had the hap
py faculty of remembering in her
ministrations such as are general
ly overlooked, and she sought to
make happy all with whom she
came into contact. She stored her
mind with the choicest gems of
literature and consequently her
conversation was rich with whole
some ideas.
Though not long a resident of
Ashland, she yet made many
friends here many of whom were
present at the funeral services to
show their appreciation of her
worth.
A very interesting feature Of
the occasion was the reading of a
poem composed by Mrs. Cordell
entitled Mothers Day" which
was written to a friend who had
lost a mother and in commem-
Grafton OF the first Mothers Day.

Dear Ed:
Will meet Emery E. Smith at
1O:45 tomorrow (Monday) and
see Dolan (McCormick's secre-
tary) to iron out the transpor-

Cormack today just as he re-
turned to town from taking a
congressional committee on a
tour. He is arranging to send
them north to Crater Lake and
Ashland in his car.
Mccormick is keen on the Ger
ard trip to Ashland. Emery ].
Smith is very active and the Ger
ard party is hearing more about
the Ashland trip than they are
about anything else than the con-
yention itself,
You know that Taggart leaves
here for French Lick Springs Fri
day and will not visit Ashland un-
til later. He is keen to see the
Ashland proposition and is urging
Ex-Governor Samuel r. Ralston of
Indiana to go to Ashland with
Gerard. apparently Ralston is
interested with Taggart in French
LickD Tomorrow morning we
will make an effort to cinch Raj
stOn's decision.
Cherry will place Gerard in
nomination. RalstOn is a prince
Gerard chatted very pleasantly
about Jesse Winburn and his ca
pacity, He left no doubt that
Winburn could bring Ashland to
the attention of the world. Ger
ard talks in a crisp style and |
only regret now that | did not
take his exact words down in
writing concerning Winburn's
Ed, you certainly have had
blooming optimistic nerve to un-
dertake to crowbar Gerard or
else away from such an
interesting thing as a national
convention. | am telling you
that your work in assembling the
forces to get the trick turned
looks mighty good from this end.

Gerard's patriotic address at
Ashland during the celebration
will be the greatest treat ever Of
fered to a Southern Oregon au-
dience. He is absolutely the best
qualified man in America for such
an occasion.
He is the only living American
who in official life "sat on the
Kaiser"
AS United States ambassador at
Berlin, the former justice of the
New York supreme court faced the
difficult problem of protecting
American interests in Germany
at a time when the treacherous
propaganda Of the former wan
lord was, like an octopus, reach
ins out its tentacles to entangle
America.
America had better look out
after this war. l will stand no
nonsense from America after this
war" was the challenge Wilhelm
hurled at Gerard when the am
hassador was closeted with him
in an interview of an hour and a
half, in 1915.
1t has never been printed what
Gerard replied, but his careful
handling of the delicate situa-
tons during the ruthless submar-
inc warfare proved he plainly in
dicated Americas position and
that he gave Germany to under
stand the United States attitude
was firm in its demand that the
lives of neutrals be respected.
Gerard's four years in Germany
were filled with more difficulties
than ever a diplomat faced in a
foreign country. Besides taking
care of the affairs of his own
country, he turned his embassy
into clearing house for all COM
munications between the warning
and protected entente in
terests in Germany.
