POISON SENTENCE
BEING PROPOSED

A move has been started among state
officials to go before the legislature at
its next session and request the elimin-
alton of that part of the capital punish
ment law providing for the hanging of
persons condemned to death. and the
substitution of a clause authorizing the
administering of poison in carrying out
the mandates of the court.
DIR. r. Lee Steiner, while superin-
tendent of the penitentiary, informed
officials that in the event capital pun
ishment was restored in Oregon much
of the unfavorable publicity attendant
on hangings under the old system could
be eliminated by so changing the law
that poison instead of the scaffold
would provide the death penalty. 1t
was DR.. Steiner's suggestion that the
sentence be so worded that the person
condemned to death. Should be executed
within a specified week. This would
give time and opportunity for the war
den, according to DR.. Steiner, to place
in the food of the prisoner a few drops
of some powerful poison. Death would
be instantaneous. In case the legisla-
ture acts favorably upon the request
for changing the capital punishment
law, it will not be necessary to erect
new scaffold room. Should the request
fail, the new execution chamber prob
ably will be installed in one of the
prison buildings some distance from
the main penitentiary plant.

ney Galloway and Sheriff ChrIsman,

Gated Henry Allen and Council Oliver,

clares.

Co. ready with a surplus supply, the

Its a funny thing" said r. l.
Foust. when the gasoline shortage
was at its height, we were having
continual calls for gasoline. We sold
all we could get, averaging about 28O
gallons day. During the past week
our sales have averaged only about 100
gallons per day"

America can boast a brand-new bust
ness. And there is every indication that
the industry will be booming one. in

deX of future demands. Sea feathers are
going to supplement, if not largely sup

wel-night entirely by the lowing herds
and the bleating hocks
S,l-ely, this should be welcome news In
view Of the fact that shortage of leath-
er has for more than year caused a good
deal of disquitude among the people of
the boot and shoe industry. Strange as
it may seem, we who lead the world in
the manufa cture of foot wear have been
forced to pay more and more for our shoes
during the last two or three years. and
the end of soaring prices is not yet in
sight.
To-day the government authorities have
put their stamp of approval upon leath-
ers made from the skins of sharks,
whales, dogfish swordfish skates. rays,
pOrpOises, and other sea animals which
abound in the waters that wash our
shores.

Selling live stock by auction, a plan
started In Kern County. Calf, in 1917,
has now spread through considerable
area of the interior of the state, espe-
cially where large numbers of hogs are
grown. Last year seven countics--Kern
Kings, MERGED, MADEIRA. Stanislaus. Tu-
lare, and Fresno-formed the California
Farm Bureau Marketing association and
Joined in conducting auction sales. This
association employed a manager and as
sistant manager who were responsible
for the success of the sales In addition
each county farm bureau has a commit
tee in charge of the sales locally. Auc-
ton sales were also he'd in San Joaquin
and Shasta counties. II is expected that
this system will expand throughout the
State during the coming year and that it
will prove applicable to other products
which are capable of standardization.
The business last year included 1888
auction sales at which 543 carloads of
live stock were sold for 81, 100. 800 70. 1t
Is estimated that the sales brought a
direct increased return to the farmers of
S16G 1867 over the prices the stock would
have brought otherwise.
This is but one example of the help
given by the county agent in organizing
farmers for selling live stock One hun
dred and three county agents in 10 States
report this service as an important fea-
/ ture Of the work last year. Further
more, 1873 county agents in II States re-
port that they assisted in organizing live
stock shipping associations in their coun-
ties.

IT is planned that the lodge will accom-
modate, when completed, about "a grown
peop,e, or SO Boy Scouts.
Though the contract has not been let
for the work, the matter has been placed
before one or two companies, and the
final arrangements will be made so that
work can be gotten under way by the lat
ter part of May some time between the
Goth of May and June l. A party from Bur
lington and other points Is planning to
spend Memorial day on the mountain and
help along the work, which will probably
be completed by the middle of June.
The exact spot on which the new lodge
will be located has not been chosen, but
the general location has been selected,
and It is practically certain now that the
new structure will be on a site few
rods southeast of the highest point of the
chin, northeast of the Cave of the Winds
and just below the Adams Apple.
In addition to the Elhu b. Taft lodge
on Mansfield, several other new lodges.
of a less pretentious class will be built
this year along the Long Trail by the
New York section of the Green Mountain
club under the direction of Professor VIII
S. Monroe. All of these lodges will be
built south of Camel's Hump, one near
Burnt Hill, back of Breadloaf Inn: one
at Allen Chamberlain Glen. north of Lin

New Catalogue VIII show s64 In Four
Regular Departments

Several of the bulletins of the Univer-
sity OF Vermont are being published and
will appear soon. This years annual
catalogue will be out In a few days. The
catalogue shows that on April there
were enrolled as regular students In the
four departments s64 students. of whom
COL are men and 263 women. There were
g71 summer school students enrolled last
summer and 81 different students In the
short courses. This gave total Of 1880
enrolled but as nine of the regular
students attended summer school these
were deducted. giving a total OF 1181.
This shows a gain in regular students
over last year of 206 or 81 per cent. and a
gain In tho total enrolment of 294. or
80 per cent. The percentage OF Vermont
students is 70. The largest number OF
regular students enrolled in any previ-
Gus year was in 1916, when there were
672.

MORE GOOD HORSES Nl....suD

The thing most needed in the produce
tion of work horses for American
farms is greater care in the selection
of the stallion and the brood mare,
say animal husbandry experts of the
ture who have been studying the pres
ent situation with respect to horses.
Not only was there net decrease of
approximately $4,000 in the number
Of horses on farms on January /, COM
pared with a year ago. but the eX-
perts are of the opinion that there has
been an even more marked decrease In
the number of mares bred during 1919.
Tho extent of this decrease can not be
accurately determines until the colt
crop of 1920 is estimated However. if
the decline IN breeding is as great as
conditions row Indicate. the country
will be confronted with seriously de-
rleted supply OF good horses within
the next few years.
Many farmers are using up thci-
work stock without making any pro-
vision for the future. Suon policy
is shortsighted and will have serious
results according to Department of
Agriculture representatives. The pres
ent need Is to increase tho percentage
OF efficient horses by careful selection
of parents. One of the principal fac
tors from which the market Is suffer

grade work animals. There ~ q strcrg
demand for high class horses. at Sood
prices, the department says
