Extension Division
Reaches Many Farms
Proposal to Consolidate All Extension
Work In Order TO Economic and
Increase Efficiency.

Washington. Dec. 20.--Notwith-
standing the Department of Agricul-
ture saved and turned back to the
Treasury more than 100000 out
of the money allotted it last year,
Secretary Wallace is looking for ad-
ditional ways to economize in his de-
partment without affecting the quail
ity Of the service. In his budget re-
quests for this year he has indicated
desire to coordinate all of the ex-
tension work done by the Department
Of Agriculture into one bureau. This
would result in the elimination Of
three bureaus now in existence, the
elimination Of number of employees
and increased efficiency in the work.
In discussing the various forms of
extension work in which the depart
ment cooperates with the numerous
states, Secretary Wallace points out
that about 1000 persons are now en-
ployed. Agricultural agents are en-
ployed in about 2,lO0 counties, home
demonstration agents in 800 counties
and club agents in 200 counties. In
addition, there are $50 district agents
and specialists in the preparation of
subject matter who cooperate with the
extension workers.
1t is estimated that through the
extension personnel the department
comes in contact with about 2,5c0,000
farm homes. The s9l,G00 boys end
girls enrolled in club work report
products valued at more than S7,000,-
600. OF the field agents, 272 are
colored and work to aud negro farm
ers. About $7000,090 of federal
money was spent for extension work
luring the past year to which was
added about S9,700,000 Of state money.
Other agencies used in ditfusing
information, according to the Secre-
tary's report, are bulletins, pamphlets
and periodicals, motion pictures, ex-
hibits at state and district fairs, and
mimeographed material distributed
to the press According to Secretary
Wallace's annual report, the Depart
ment distributed in the last year
nearly 34,000,000 copies of various
bulletins, pamphlets, etc.
In addition to the publicity matter
sent to the newspapers and handled
in the form of bulletins and circulars,
the department has a division which
handles moving pictures. The de-
partment now has a total of SAT reels
for distribution; 21 old films have
been revised and brought up to date,
and 33 new films have been completed.
Work is now progressing on 2s films
on new subjects. These pictures
are circulated by county agents, ex-
tension workers and through the
public schools. 1t is estimated these
films were seen last year by four to
five million people,
The department also has series
of exhibits which are displayed at
fairs. Last year these exhibits were
at 60 fairs, at which the total at
tendance was more than 100000.
These figures give some idea of the
tremendous number of people that
are reached every year by the acti-
vities of the department.

East and West to Settle
Football Championship
Toledo, Ohio, and Corvallis, Oregon,
High Schools Will Scrap 1t Out
On New Years Day.

East may be east and west be west
as the poet said, but "Never the twain
shall meet" is a mistake. The east
will meet the west in a national high
school football championship game
at Corvallis on New Years day.
The Toledo, Ohio, school will be
the east in this struggle, and Coz.
Wallis high the west. The Toledo
team has triumphed over the "fai
east" America and the midwest, and
three years ago played tie game
with the Aberdeen, Wash, school.
Corvallis has won the championship
of the Willamette valley three times
in TIT last four years, and won all
its games this year with a total Of
2S2 points to by all its opponents
combined. Toledo managers elected
this team because they consider Cor.
Wallis representative of football al
its best on the coast, becaus. they
could use the agricultural college
field, stadium, armory and gymna.

as near the center of population as
possible, and because, their coach
being an old Whitman grad, they
wanted to keep as close to Walla
Walla as possible.
The college stadium and covered
bleachers, built by the students, will
seat 10000 persons, and if that is not
enough the open bleachers will care
for half as many more.
The armory, to be used for practice
is almost large enough to play reg
ulation football game in.
The gymnasium with its showers
and great swimming pool will serve
the health and pleasure of the east
erners.
A $4,000 guarantee fund was put up
by the Corvallis business men. Many
thousands of spectators from Port

pected to witness this east-west test

"The Glorious Fool''
Is a Comedy Romance
Mary Roberts Rinehart, Famous
American Author, Writes Charm
ing and Entertaining Story.

Whether they know it or not, all
authors write about themselves or
their friends. Mary Roberts Ripe-
hart, who wrote the story of the new
Goldwyn photoplay, "The Glorious
Fool" which will come to the Star
theatre Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan.
and 2, knew intimately the source
from which her story came. In her
youth, Mrs. Rinehart was a hospital
nurse; and no doubt the part of the
pretty probationer, played by Helene
Chadwick, was suggested by some
lovely nurse the auhtoress had
known.
The story begins with the marriage
of an inexperienced probationer to a
private client who is on the point
of death. The patient is desirous Of
cheating his vulturous relatives of
his fabulous fortune; and the poor,
wrackled nurse consents to the mar
riage only when she feels that her
patient will not die content unless
she acquiesces in his wishes. But
the man gets well-uncomfortably
well. And what is more, knows that
he is in love with his nurse.
Then hospital politics come into
play. The little nurse is transferred
to maternity ward, where her sym
pathies again cause her to do some
thing that nurses simply don't do.
And when it appears that she is
about to be dismissed, that she has
been complete failure, fortune takes
turn and shows her many things
she never guessed were in its wheels.
The rich patient in the case is
played delightfully."- by Richard Dix.
Mrs. Rinehart has expressed her
pleasure at the excellent production
and the consummate direction given
"The Glorious Fool" by E. Mason
Hopper. Under his guidance, the pic
ture is a sweet romance with many
tense moments that dissolve into
happy events.

Art Minor Remembers
Friends With Calendar

The many friends Of G. A. Minor
in this city, were remembered this
week by receiving from him a cal.
endar Of original design.
On the upper right hand corner Of
the plaque is placed Photographic
copy Of the picture made a number
of years ago by Mike Galloway, en-
titled pioneers and Pioneer Stock
men Of Morrow County, Or" and un-
derneath this a neat little calendar
tab. The reproduction of the picture
Of the pioneers is a valuable prize,
and to add to the worth Of the cal
endar are the following lines, writ
ten some. time since by Mr., Minor:
On yonder wall there hangs a picture,
somewhat faded by the passing Of
the years,
Called Morrow County Stockmen,
Morrow County Pioneer and Pion-
eers."
Oft when the day Of toll was over,
/ have looked at it and thought and
thought:
Who would be the one to tell that
story, though l was much the
younger Of the lot.
Those pioneers who left their faith
ers' homes; their native sod; from
man had lived apart;
They blazed the way to a land un-
trod, and there with nature lived
heart to heart
In little cabin built of logs, ehinked
in, and with sod and dirt covered
o'er;
A fireplace for a stove, one sliding
window; and oft they used the
earth for a floor.
There amongst those hills and val
leys where surveyors stakes we're
never stuck or known;
Where the owl did hoot and the coy
ote walled; that's where the pion-
eer built his home.
A home it was, tho of the rudest sort,
built from natures rough unfnish-
ed store;
But no man was a stranger there
the latch string always hung out
side the door.
Gone is the bunch grass that bowed
and bent like fields Of grain before
the northern wind;
Gone are the Indian caravans and
their ponies-that 10, the pinto and
the spotted kind;
Gone are the prairie sehooners-the
oxen that so slowly trailed them
from east to west;
Gone are the flint locks, the powder
horn, and all those things our fa-
theirs loved best.
Oh, how those pioneers they would
weep; the life blood quicken in
their veins,
Could they see those bleak and bar
rem hillsides; Oh, those grainless,
barren, barren plains.
Weep not for things past and gene,
but bid the cowboy and things Of
his day adieu;
For when the latch string it was sew
cred, the West and the spirit of the
West went too.
God, remember those pioneers when
they come,-those men that wore
the blue, the gray;
They numbered three score and ten
then; with but less than twenty
here today;
And in few more years, they who
shaped the way whereby others
reached wealth and fame,
Will be known here no more, but be
stilled like their pictures in the
frame.
Those bodies once so supple are stiff
er now-their train is backing on
the track.
1t will not be long till they will all be
gone, and they are not a-coming
back.
And at night when the woods grow
dim and the owl does hoot and the
coyote walls,
Think Did the golden moments ever
come to those that cleared the way
and made the trails?
