It will be wade np of delegate from other or ganization, civic and commercial. Moat of the afternoon session of the convention wa taken up In debating the people'a land and loan bill." The measure is purely a slnitle tax iropo'I tlon. augmented by a atate loan fea ture which, it sponsor say, 1 intend ed to aid the can who seek a home at a low rate of interest and l.uii; time payments. Eugene E. Smith, one of a o.ir.nilt tee on unemployment which drafted the measure, spoke in ita tx-hulf and sought to show how It would be a panacea for unemp'oyment and a lot of other economic evils. He declared that 30.000 aipuati.rel would bo secured to the bill to iniutej it through the unions of the state. C. E. Spcnce, master of the state grange, thought that the couvention would make a tnlsake In hooking up the sinnle-tai proposition with it and Initiating and fathering the measure. J because he believed "three-fourths of the fanners of the state were antago nistic" to the single tax. So m of its features be thought were good, but he questioned whether they would be a panacea for the ills which are intended to be cured. He further said that the state grange would hardly indorse the bill. ll HI l l . oil', ii'iuwiy wi-iaiit liiiiflti'r at Atlanta. uw living at Marl.na "It mt Jhm a few day l-efore sch-wl civl that I foil 1 i.l lli.-rv wa .i be to nioii- tvlir.r f-r inc. iM Hie studrnL "I knew al'iit Hie Vmi alildi'iil. and the Idin ixviiin-il 10 me that I might put up a li.n k and lite In It and t In deit-iitli'iil I cain down fnm Mari etta and went to M-e Mr. IVtciw an I akrd hliu If I mUlit build senile r. of plai-e oil hi laud Hint I could the In. and b aald'l cmuM " The hop lustruiiors hi-lel liluu and the acboi gave hliu iil; n ml a wlu djw OtberwlM the Iioum- wat built by Cole alone.

TO SEE HIS SHADOW SPRING WILL BEGIN SOON, AC CORDING TO ANCIENT SCAN DINAVIAN LEGEND. Mr. Ground Hog poked his head out nf his burrow and yawned Tuesday. He had Just awoke from his long win ter nap, and stretched the kink out of his legs. He looked north, south, east and west. Nowhere was the sun to b seen. He climbed all the way out of his burrow and sat upright on the ground. The closest examination failed to show a trace of a shadow. Then this master weather forecaster turned back and yelled to Mrs. Ground Hog, who was below awaiting the outcome of her husband's investigations, that spring would come to Oregon early this year. Yes, Tuesday was ground hog day, I and judging from popular superstition that, well-known animal was not fright tfened back into his burrow for a stay of six more weeks by the sight of his shadow. The story of the grovnd hog comes from the Scandinanvians. On their holiday. Candlemas, tho giound or hedge hog, was supposed to come out of the ground and look around. The sight of his shadow would frighten him buck in his hiding p'ace for six more weeks, and the coming of spring would he correspondingly delayed. BY WAGON 1.7C0 MILES.

If you pliue tin egg on the neck of a carafe almost any one would say that It Is Impossible to put the egg Into the carafe whole. Yet It can be dune, nnd at Hie same time un Impor taut principle in ulr pressure can be proved. First have the egg hulled hard and then peel it. Make a torch of folded paper, light and push it Into the carafe. After it has burned almost nut place the egg on tin; neck of the carafe, small end downward, so that It acts as a stopper. Hut be sure you do iiot push It at all. The heat of the burning paper has by tills time driven much of (he ulr out of tlie ciirafe mid liented what re mains Inside. When il has Dually burned out tlie carafe will begin to cool, the nlr In It becomes cooler and therefore takes up much less space. The pressure of the atmospheric it i r outside of the bottle Is exerted upon the egg. which lengthens out gradually and lit last drops Into the carafe with a loud "plump " In this way several Important points in physics are made plain. First it is seen" how heat rarities tlie air and when the nlr In the enrnfe cools cre ates a partial vacuum. Then Is proved the fact of atmospheric pressure by the way In which the egg acts. At last we see the egg forced Into the arafe. so that the air from without may Gil the vacant spaces. Exchange. Hooray! "Haia olt'" I rry. To Atlam 1'f.ifT. Who ha a ai Ltnt phonograph.
