Your course seems to me to be ed
mirably we'll balanced for student
who is going to college.
1 am glad to see you take up the
Physics rather than other sciences
and that you give full years course
IN that with laboratory. I am also
delighted to see that you stick to La
tin and give as much of it as you do.
Let me congratulate you upon the

FIFTEEN UNITS TO
BE REQUIRED BY
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
(Proper-G Gander.)

Early in December Supt. Fulp pre-
pared a number of copies of the
course of study as now pursued in the
high school, and together with ques-
tionnaire, mailed copy of the course
to a number of colleges in Georgia,
North Carolina, Virginia, and South
Carolina.
For the information of all high
school pupils as we'll as for the bene-
fit of the friends of the school, ex-
tracts from the replies, as well as the
units credited are here given. The
average good college requires fifteen
units for unconditional entrance.

We take the classification of the
State High School Inspector, and ad-
nit to our Freshman Class uncondi-
tionally graduates of all High Schools
in the State rated by the High School
Inspector as making at least L units.
We do not admit upon certificate,
students from High Schools not COM
pleting the full course of study for
graduation of the High Schools. By
agreement among the Colleges no
High School graduate is given ad-
vanced standing upon certificate, but
may be given such standing upon ex-
animation at the College. We are
thinking of requiring Is units for
admission to our Freshman Glass next
session.

FORTUNES MADE
in INVENTIONS
Bingham County People
Interested in Many
Devices

The man who thinks that all the
opportunities for getting rich are
past should read this article about
how men are getting rich by inven-
tons. Mrs. c. L. Myers lives at
Aberdeen and her cousin, G. r.
Stevenson of Indianapolis, Ind, is
cutting a figure in the field of in
ventions that is worthy of notice.
His father, George Stevenson, in
vented a hand feeder about thirty
years ago for sowing grass seed on
the farm and getting it evenly dis
tributed. Up to that time men had
scwn all kinds of see broadcast, by
hand, and no man who was accus-
toned to sowing wheat, oats or bar
ley could have any idea as to how
thick he was putting it on when he
was sowing timething fine like clover
seed or timothy seed. Stevensons
invention made it possible t.. set a
gauge and then pick up the machine
with the seed in it, hang it across
his shoulder, and walk straight
across the field, operating the ma
chine as fiddler operates the fiddle
bow, and he would know just about
how many pounds of seed he was
putting on per acre and he would
know that there would be no spots
in it, That was a great invention in
the work of seeding meadows and
fields, but since that time so many
other inventions have been made
that the old Stevenson hand seeder
is scarcely heard of any more.
Stevenson made about $4,000 on his
invention and when his son E. R.
Stevenson grew up, the family We're
in very moderate circumstances.
Stevenson worked for many years
in machine shop that was devot-

STRANGE FISH STORY
Angler Makes a Snake the Hero Of

Angler Makes a Snake the Hero Of
3Gt ia the Tale. ia 10
Frank Williamson, angler Of Chico,
Col, has startled Chicoans with the
narration Of a new kind Of fish story
in which snake stars as the hero.
According to Williamson, while fish,
ing with Capt. Allison Ware, former
president Of the State Normal school
here. on the Feather river east Of
here, he saw a water snake make
sudden lunge at a passing trout, catch
it by the gills in its mouth, and after
q fierce struggle under water leap out
Of the stream to the bank, landing on
a broad boulder. Here the snake beat
its prey against the rock until 1t was
stunned. Taking no chance that It
might revive, the snake Topped into
the water again, Williamson AYERS, and
held the fish under water until 1t was
drowned.
Williamson says he has seen this
snake perform on two successive Sat
urdays and believes the reptile makes
It a regular weekly event. He offers
to direct the dubious to the exact spot
on the river where the marvellous
snake makes it's home. @

dent, and Mrs. Mary Neal Conkle,
secretary, prepared the program for
the meeting and altho they didn't
send out cards with kind regrets to
every Mary in the land, each and
every one answering to that moniker
was invited. The organization was
formed three years ago, and it has
grown steadily until some 1000 odd
Marys belong.

Then he extended his invention sc
that a large number of wheels could
be placed one above another in a
column and the machine moves down
across them to cut shaving off of
each cog Of each wheel at one stroke.
If he placed thirty wheels in the col
umn one above another and locked
them tight and gave the machine
freedom to make one long stroke to
cover the whole column of wheels
and had enough trimmers working
so that he, was cutting all the cogs
of all the wheels at the same stroke
1t greatly multiplied the production.
Whereas they had been able to make
only thirty cog-wheels in an hour
with the old time machinery they
made $50 cog-wheels per hour with
his new invention. Stevenson took
out the patent in the United States
and nine foreign countries. Then
he went on and developed his inven-
ton so that it would make all the
different kinds of cog-wheels and
pinions. He had each of those in
yentions patented in the United
States and nine foreign countries.
While the war was going on, he was
perfecting the inventions and secur-
ing the patents. He built 1903 ma
chimes and installed them in one
factory and got it to operating in
October, 1919. He manufactured
cog-wheels at a rate of something
like thirty times as fast as others
were making them, and he sold them
in the market at the same price es-
tablished by the others on the slower
process.
Stevenson visited his relatives in
Bingham county a few weeks ago
on a trip to the Yellowstone park,
and in talking about the matter
when it was said to him, 'This must
be rather profitable, the work of
your new factory" he laughed and
said, eve don't charge any more
than any one else, but to be frank
with you we make so much money
we are ashamed of it. We justify
ourselves on the fact that it is an in
vention that enables us to make SO
much money, and we justify it on
the further fact that we are multiply

ing all its energy to making cog.
wheels. The more machines there
are built in the world, the more de.
mand there was for cog-wheels
The Burroughs Adding Machine COM
pany and the Cash Register company
for example, literally use millions
of little cog-wheels. And all the
cog-wheels that were used in the
world up to the last couple of years
were made by a very slow, tedious
process of making one cog at a time
by cutting out the space between
them. The process took an infinite
amount of time and Stevenson was
employed attending one of those ma
chimes that made the cog-wheels.
Take, for example, a little cog
wheel the size of silver dollar with
thirty cogs on, and those thirty cogs
have to be made one at a time To
make one cog requires scores Of
shavings to be cut off by the machine
and for every shaving taken off, the
machine has to make one distinct
movement. So it can readily be seen
that it takes thousands of different
movements of the machine to make
one little cog-wheel the size of a
silver dollar. Every other cog-wheel
Is made on the same plan regardless
of its size, but it may require diff
ferent kind of machine to make the
bevel gears or the spiral gears or
the wheel with gears on the inner
circle or concave side. So you see
there must have been millions of
dollars worth of inventions made to
build the machine to build the diff
ferent kinds of pinions and cog
wheels. During the war this man
Stevenson was very much impressed
with the way the orders for cog
wheels were multiplying and all the
machines and factories that were
making those things were so far be-
hind with their orders that he be-
came interested in multiplying pro-
duction. The result was that he de-
vised a machine that could be OPP
Grated so that it would cut all the
cogs on a wheel at the same time.
If there we're thirty cogs on wheel
he could complete the job in one
thirtieth of the time that the old
pattern of machine would do it.
