 Don't you admire the ambitious girl who works her way through cofieges Several young women of my aequaint- ance have held various positions on the playground i'll winter and summer and thereby paid their school expenses.

A Btave Boy.

A Btave Boy.
 Dear Uncle Jed wfien John was a little boy he was afraid of boats, &nd as he grew older his fear seemed to increase. When ne was twelve years old his father and mot her decided to send him to q boys camp that they knew about
 John enjoyed swimming and was de lighted to lind that the camp was sit- uated on large lake, but his delight was soon changed to disnay at seeing twelve canoes.
 The next day John became acduaint- ed with most of the boys and had many good times with them.
 One day after John had been there five or six weeks, all the other boys went on a hike but John remained at the camp. About half an hour after they left John saw something on the water about half way across the lake that he thought was a piece of wood. After watching it for some time he mo- ticed it moving in a manner most un- usual to blocks of wood so he ran into the tent and brought out his field glasses Looking through them he found out that>it was a man. and also, that he was struggling At the same time he heard faint but uhrnistakable cry of "HeIul" At first John thought Of swimming but then his better jUdg- ment told him that that would be very unwise thing to do. He looked around. His only chance was a canoe. Again he ran into the tent and returned with rope which he threw into tho nearest canoe. and, jumping in himself. tried te paddle as he had seen the other bovs do. He reached the man and thI ew one end of the rope to him. The man grab hea # ana TotJled IYiTnse{f m to the TO noe As John could not get him in the canoe he tied his hands with the rope and pulled him up close to the back O. the canoe so his head was out of tn water
 In that way John saved the mans 1ifr and at the same time overcame his fear of boats.

Score 40 To IA

The University of Oregon bas-
ketball team last night defeated
the Chemawa Indians five at Che
mawa by score of 40 to IA. The
Indians were completely outclass-
ed by the Eugene team.
At no time during the session
were the university men crowded
by Chemawa. Early in the initial
period the Oregon team took the
lead and maintained it throughout
the game.
Many substitutions were made
by Coach George Boiler of the
visitors.
Last nights game, which was
watched by the entire Chemawa
student body and many Oregon
students who reside in Salem, was
refereed by Coach Roy Boiler of
Willamette, brother of the Eu-

Predict 1926
Year of Woe

London, Dec. 20.-The year
1926 is destined to shake the
world to its foundations, both
physically and politically. 1t is to
be a succession of plaques, famine,
floods, shipwrecks, rioting and
revolution. So says the British
Journal of Astrology, which has
drawn the horoscope for that year,
when the planets Mars and Mer-
curry will be in conjunction.
Six years later the great Arma-
geddon is to take place. 1t will
be final conflict between Mo
hammedanism, allied with bolshe-
vism, against the united Anglo
Saxon world. 1t will end in a
universal peace" in 1882, but
"there will be so few of us left
and we shall all be so tired that
peace should happen any how"
the horoscope says.

Coastino in Wake Of Boat

Passengers on one Of the Hudson riv.
er ferries in New York were treated
in the summer Of 1919 to the odd spec
tacle of a canoe sailing in their wake,
all the way across the river, without
any means of propulsion. What made
the canoe 60 was question that puZ-
zled many. The more observant no
ticed that the canoe did not keep to the
smooth water directly aft the ferry
boat, but rode off to one side, in the
rough waves that the paddle wheels
kicked up. They also noticed that the
canoe did not hug the ferryboat close,
and that often it pursued its mysteri-
Gus course at a considerable distance.
though it travelled just as fast as the
ferryboat. According to O. writer in
the Scientific American who explains
the mystery, the canoe always took n
position on the forward side of wave
and kept it all the way across. The
wave carried the canoe along as the
surf carries the Hawaiian on his surf
board.

OVERSEEING WILL
KEEP $11o,o00,0oo
IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Columbia, March 14.-South
Carolinians imported $110,0o0,00o
worth of food and feedstuffs from
the West last year, according to
figures compiled by the committee
on banking, legislation and ware
housing of the South Carolina Divl-
son of the American Cotton Associa-
toin. The importation of this enor-
nous amount of foodstuffs into the
state was made necessary by the
eagerness Of the farmers to raise
cotton, many of them planting sew
enteen acres to the plow.
In a statement issued yesterday
the association declared that here
was no reason for the farmers Of
the State to be panic-stricken over
the fact that the price which cotton
is now bringing forbids them plant
ing over half crop of it next year.
It is declared that a study of the
figures collected by the committee
on banking, legislation and ware
houses of the association ought to
convince them that a diversification
of crops in South Carolina will
prove profitable.
According to the committee state
ment the importation OF food and
feedstuffs into South Carolina from
the West last year as follows: Corn,
s15,ooo,OOO; Mixed feeds $1S,0oO,-
600; Hay s12,Ooo,ooO; Oats, s1o,-
600, 900; Flour s2O,Ooo,ooo; Beef
s15,O00,oO00; Bacon $20,O00,-
600; Eggs and butter s3,000,O0o;
Canned goods 100000 making a
grand total of s11,000,000.
"These figures" says the associa-
ton "are purchases from this state
only and every item must be paid
for in cash before the goods are de-
livered together with the freight.
This amount could be spent at home
if the farmers of South Carolina
would get their minds off OF cotton
for few minutes.

GERMS ON POSTAGE STAMPS
Physicians Have Found Microbes o.
Disease on Almost Every Speci-
men They Examined.

Drs. J. Diner and G. Horstman
bought postage stamps at so different
places and tested them for the mi
crobes Of disease. They report to
the Medical Times that every stamp
was infected, and it appeared to make
no difference whether they were from
q drawer or cash register or exposed
on q desk
Among the germs they found were
such deadly ones as colon bacili,
staphylococci, streptOcocci, pneumo.
coco. and diphtheria bacilli. The edi-
tor of American Medicine comments
that if postage stamps were as grave
a source of infection as these facts
might seem to indicate, very large
part of the population would be suffer
ing from infection. as almost every
body is in the habit of licking stamps.
The fact is that an examination Of the
mouths, noses and throats of almost
all of us will reaveal the presence OF
some or all Of these germs at any
time.
However, licking postage stamps Is
q dirty habit and one that Is quite
easy to acquire.
