If the voters of this state fail to kill the sOcalled

into comercial industrial and agricultural panic
that will shatter the prosperity Of the entire COM

When, by law, money is permitted in Oregon to-
bring no higher yield than per cent, there will be
NO money in this state for loans Outside investors
will shun Oregon Foreign capital now invested
here will be withdrawn. Local capital seeking in
vestment will go to other states where it secure
better returns There will be an absolute dearth of
money in Oregon.
United States government bonds bring per
cent. Eastern commercial paper yields as high as
8l-2 per cent Canadian bonds bring 9per cent. I'm
provement bonds of other states and communities
practically all bear per cent interest.
WHO WOULD LOAN MONEY in ORECONAT
PER CENT?
Money is commodity It seeks its highest return If law
were passed limiting the price that could be asked for auomo

Predict Lack of Game Next Season

! Local sportsmen predict that the continued presence of snow and ice on the ground will make 8 noticeable scarcity of gaue in this locality next fall as is bids fair to kill off a large quantity that is not h1bernating. The ground being covered with snow and ice for the past month together with the extreme cold, weather will without doubt kill off many of the cartridges and quail as these birds depend largely on open weather to carry them through the winter months. Their chief food is gathered from the ground and with this covered they de- pend on things that can be gIeaned from the trees.
 Many formers living in the sur rounding towns report that they have seen many fioeks of these birds close to the houses and in many cases they have fed them. Several local hunts men have taken grain and other food for birds into the woods and left it among the frs and cedars where the quails and cartridges make aheir homes during the winter
 Not only birds have been driven in-

Noted Pianist Coming to WooIsey
 Hall. New Haven.

An exile from his own country un- der the hardships of war and revo- lution, Seigei Rachaminoff. the noted pianist, composer and conductor, is to play at Woolsey Hall, New Haven, Tuesday evening. Feb. 24th, and probably no pianist on the concert stage today is attracting more vide spread attention. Rachmaninoff comes back to America in the prime of his years, in the full maturity and exercise of his powers, and at the height of his reputation, Hardly an- other Russian musician is so many sided or enjoys such international fame.
 As pianist, and as composer of music for the piano. Rachmaninon will primarily address himself to the American public. For years in Rus sia in other countries in Europe, and in America in 1909, he has given proof of remarkable technical pow CTS. true virtuoso instinct for the pi- ano. A master of the keyboard, he has shown no less signal ability as an interpretative artist, playing with rare insight and imagination.
 This is the last of the Steinert se- ries of concerts in New Haven this season and lovers of piano music may consider themselves fortunate in having this opportunity to hear a musician who is playing such a prominent part in the musical life of today.

DOLLAR DAY BUYERS
 EXCEEDED PAST RECORDS

In spite of the difficult travelling on Saturday, the number of people that came to this city to take advantage of the reductions in merchandise offered by lccal merchants was as great as in the past The early trains and trolleys coming into the city from surrounding towns each brought in their share of purchasers who had come early to avoid the rush that started in during the morning hours.
 The condition of the sidewalks and streets of the city and the roads of the country surrounding this city was soout the worst Saturday that it had been any day since the stoFm of the 5-h- The thaw of Friday followed by freezing temperature during the night eeaied the sidewalks of the city with solid sheeting of ice which made walking dangerous, but this danger was removed during the afternoon af- ter the sun had played it's part.
 Families from towns surrounding Sorwicf @sne in either by automobile Or bx ss !. and the streets afforded befter -mmodatien for pedestrians thsn did the sidewalks themselves.
 That the day was one of success as far as the merchants were concerned WIS learned Sunday when one of them stated that Dollar day this year was as big a day for them as any Dollar day had been in past years, and that figures might prove it to have been even better The attractive bargains offered by the Norwich merchants as usual did not fail to bring out those purrhasers who were endeavoring to nzve money by buying at lower prices.

This amount, which has been given within the short period of two months, has come without sensa- tional publicity or without any of the methods which are characteristic of the drive. The announcement of the success of the fund was eAthusias- tically received. It was pointed out however, that already the wealthieF alumni and friends of the university had contributed and that in order to raise the entire amount extraordinary effort would be necessary. The com mittee explained that the three million dollars was an irreducible minimum. It was the sentiment of the meeting that the fund should be generously eyersuhscribed.
 The following gifts make up the amount so far received: Stephen o. Metcalf, $100, 600: Henry D. Sharpe, s2ao, ,8eo; Miss Ellen D. Sharpe, $5o,- GOO; Louisa and Jesse H, Metcan. s25e, 900; Mrs. Mary D. Chaffee. s50,- 0e0; Manton B. Mekcaif, s100, GOO; Mrs. Louisa D. S. Metcalf, $35, ,00O; William Gammell $50, ,000; Samuel w. Smith, $25,000; John D, Rockefeller. IT,, $50o,- 900, and other gifts and pledges total ing s156, 1855. The gift of s250,o00 from Louisa and Jesse H. Metcalf was spe- officially given towards the building and equipment of a new chemical lab- ioratory.
 In many ways this meeting, held on Friday, the 18th, is remarkable in col lege history. For the first time Brown university invited prominent business men of the state to meet with her in a discussion of current problems and future developmeHts Three men prominent in Rhode Island industry James R. MacColl. George H. Holmes and William l.. Sweet-were the speakers of the evening. 4 lively dis cussion of the work of. the college was a feature of the meeting.

RURAL SCHOOLS FOUND
 TO BE UNSANITARY

Black has made a report to the state council of health on the survey which the health department is making of the sanitary condition of the schools in the state at the request of the state board of education. Four employees of the department have been engaged in vestigated the condition of 423 school buildings, mostly rural They were situated in Litchfield, MiddIesex, Windham, New Haven and New Lon don counties The number of school children attending the schools was 55,4S1. Forty per cent. of the buildings were in an uasanitary condition. Tn most of them they received no atten- tion other than that given by the teachers and pupils.
 When there were inside toilets one half were of antiquated designs and one-quarter were out of order. One half of them were in very bad condi- tion. They should be all standardized. Tn 222 schools the old system of hand basins were used and only in 25 were individual towels used. Tn 156 schools there, were nc accommodations for washing. and in one-quarter the ven- tifatidn was unsatisfactory. In one quarter of the rooms the temperature was. as low as 5S degrees. Tn relation to the water supply pr. Black said that 115 used public water, 126 wells on grounds, 12s depended on neigh bers and "A on springs and brooks. Tn 30 schools children drank out of their hands or by impFoyised cups made out of paper.
 The cost of making the survey was $4 per school. The department of health was obliged to discontinue the survey because of lack of funds The work of the survey was confined al- most entirely to the rural schools.

"chsekersa at the Breed.

Checkers, the famous racing play, will be presented at the Breed thea tre today and Tuesday as a superb motion picture. On the legitimate stage Checkers was tremendous success as the story was a sensa- tional one. There are many big spectacular scenes in the film, such as an actual race on the famous Bel mont park track, thrilling train wreck in which a freight car con- taining several persons and a race horse topples into a river, and 8 sen- sational scene in New YeFks China town. The story tells of southern beauty who falls in love with Check CTS, the race tout. He grooms a horse owned by the girl for a rich stake, and in getting the horse to the race track encounters tremendous difficulties. His chase leads from the south to New York and through Chinatown. At the last minute. just before the race is to start, the jockey is maliciousiy blinded, and the young girl rides the horse to victory. It is one of the best and most stirring pie lures in every respect seen here in some time, The all-star cast head ed by Thomas J. Carrigan and Jean Ackef give an evenly balanced per- formance.

Big Auto Show at New London
 Opens Feb, 13,

OECuS ECUs ios
 One of the finest exhibitions of au- tomehiles ever held in this section will be staged at the state armory beginning Wednesday evening, the 18th, and continue for the balance of the week.
 The show is being conducted un- der the auspices of the Third Battal- ion, Third Regiment, c. S. G.. and when the show opens it is expected that every dealer of automobiles in New London will be members of the association.
 After the visitor has passed the entrance doors to the show, he will be confronted with a dazzling spec with q bright coloring scheme which will tend to set off the wonderful dis play of cars.
 The show will undoubtedly be sur- passed only by the Boston and Hart ford exhibitions and then probably only in point of cars entered, for with the elaborate decorative scheme the arnory will afford a beautiful set ting for an automobile show. The space allotments have been snapped eagerly by the automobile dealers and visitors will have a chance to see the very latest in the various makes of automobiles from the smaller cars to the huge auto trucks.
 Ample arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the visitors to the show. Every after noon and evening an orchestra will furnish music and the management is negotiating for one of the best Broadway stars to appear twice daily.
 Every night will be given over to |. iaI night will be Chamber of Commerce night, Thursday night will be Motor ists night. Friday night will be so- ciety night, and Saturday night will be Norwich night.
 The dealers association is doing the city, its public. and it's motorists a real service in conducting an exhibi- tion of such caliber, and all indiea- tiens point to an unqualified success.

There were many floral trib- utes. The bearers were Arthur Kerr roack, Arthur Penn, Leo Cote, Daniel Reynolds, Lawrence Rem and Daniel Duquis.

 Cummings and Ring will take the remains to Danielson when the wealth CT permits.
 Sunday evening Rev. Mir. Trick de- livered the third lecture in the Plan of the Ages, the perior of Human In- nocense." In part Rev. Mir. Trick fol- lowed this line of thought: The God discovered, in the scintific ground for creation. and the Word, namely 8 person of plan and power enables us to predicate certain things of His ere atien. We are told that everything was good and man was the culmina- tion. Man was created in the image of God, which was not phyhsical but spiritual and moral. God bFeathed into man and man became a living soul" The. image of God demands spirituality God is spirit" intelectu- ality. Com let us reason" morality. ''Be ye holy for am holy" The moral is the prevailing condition during this period. This we will call innocense. The evidence of this innecense is the condition of harmony. Man is at harmony with God, God walks and talks with man in the garden; har- mony with nature, He names the an imals; harmony with self, nakidness does not embarrass them. His is the condition in which man came from the hand of the creator and-these rela- tiens he lived in the garden of Eden, How long this lasted we do not know but it came to an end in what we know as the full.
 The fall was a rupture of the three fold harmony. expulsion from the gar den and the beginning of sorrow. Fhe curse involved in the fall rests upon man nature and the devil. The cause of the fall was the acceptance of the -dvince of the serpent over against the command of God. 'The day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die Thou shalt not surely die" Man is expelled from the garden but not with cut hope. 'The seed of the woman sAaH bruise the serpent's head" Man leaves paradise and the first period of human existence closes, and man has lost hi6 innocence.
