Cr.O. a4V t.II.I.V HELOW, TWO SNAPSHOTS The bacteriological department of the Oregon Agricultural College announced a programme of eight lectures to be Jelivercd In January at the college on "Rural Hygiene." the object of which will be a popular presentation of the factors favorable and unfavor able to health In rural communities. These lectures will be given with the Idea of making them as practical as possible by supplementing with demon strations and lantern slides. The cen sus bureau of the L'nlted Btates Gov ernment compotes that the annual money loss from human tuberculosis alone amounts to $600,000,900. which Is approximately 7S per cent of the total value of the wheat crop of the country. Much of this loss Is preventable If or dinary care Is exercised, aay hygiene sto'Vnlf. The coarse of lectures In rural njr gtene will take up such subjects as water supplies, especially wells, their location and construction: various sar.tl&ry methods of sewage disposal: use and abuse of septle tanks: trans misslbn of tuberculosis and typhoid: the fly pesf In Its relation to germ carrying, and. In fact, all phases of the problem of rural health and well being. orderIelps poor m OWNERSHIP OP LAND MADE EASIER FOR HOMESTEADER. Enlrvman May Relinquish Part of Farm Unit and Have Monejr Credited lo Part Kept, OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 14. Secretary Fisher to day decided that a homestead entry man, subject to the reclamation act. may relinquish part of his farm unit and have payments which have been made on the part relinquished credited on charges against the retained part. and. further, that If the eniryman so desires thereafter, he may relinquish part of the retained farm unit and have the charges paid credited on the part not relinquished. Ten acrea Is the minimum area which any settler may relinquish. Land thua eliminated will be aubject to full pro rata construction charges by any succeeding entryman. so the Government will lose nothing through this ruling. Kxperlenee hss shown In many Instances that 40 to 80 acres Is too large for a man of moderate means to cultivate to advantage. In order to promote Intensive cultiva tion of all land for which the Govern ment has furnished the water supply, and to enable deserving settler, to re tain part of their present holdings, which might otherwise have been lost through cancellation for non-payment of chargea. Secretary Fisher has au thorized such entrymen to reduce the area of their farms and will credit the amount paid ou each farm unit to the area retained by the entryman. BIG LENS.

Validity of Sherman Act to Be- At tacked Directly, Without Rais ing First Question of Ilefendante' Guilt. CHICAGO. Nor. 14. The Indicted Chicago meat-packer.. ty precipitat ing today a Federal Court decision on the constitutionality of the Sherman actl-trust law. when they anVrendered themselves Into custody and asked for a writ of habeas' corpus, merely took steps necessary to carry the fight be fore the Supreme Court of theUnlted States without the cost or delay of a trial. It was announced tonight. Government attorneys, taken una wares, were cut off from much of the results of their long Investigation into the meat-packing Industry by the sud den movement or the packers. Instead of a promise to be supported by evi dence carefully brought together, the f.ght tor a time at least must be con ducted purely as an argument of law. Mala laaue la Shifted. The fight thus becomes not a ques tion of first issue as to the guilt or Innocence of the packers, but a plain attack upon the validity of the Sher man act. according to attorneya for the packers. They explain their posi tion in this way: ' "The Supreme Court. In the tobacco and oil cases, converted the Sherman law Into an Illegal enactment, since the court, by placing each Individual coiporatlon on a standard of Its own. built upon its peculiar individual acts, took away from all individuals the possibility of knowing bow their acta were to be viewed by a Jury in the light of reason': that this .obscurity of definition of what constituted wss contrary to the eighth amendment of the Federal Constitution In short, the petition, the attorneyg say. charges the Supreme Court inter pretation with nullifying the Sherman law In spite of the court's action In ordering the dissolution of the Amer ican Tobacco Company and the Stan dard Oil Company. Trial to Be Postpone. Only an adverse decision to the pack' era' contention by the United States Supreme Court will give the Govern ment attorneys an opportunity to us. the material they have gathered for the prosecution. In the meantime the trial, scheduled for Monday of next week, undoubtedly will be postponed, pending the decision of the higher courts on the question. Attorney John S. Miller, who as chief of counsel for the packers, conducted the court move, characterized the Sher man law aa a "net large enough to catch all possible offenders, and leaves It to the courts to step in and say who rightfully can be detained and who set atThegpetltion for a writ of habeas corpus goes Into details in the alle gation of insufficiency of the statute to set up a crime and it lays stress on what the attorneys for the packers characterise as the cltisen's Inability to know whether he Is a lawbreaker. It Is charged that the act attempts to establish as a crime acta not crim inal, but civil In their nature. HARVESTER TRUST OUSTED Missouri Court Imposes $50,000 Fine and Mirkes Conditions.

There is a suggestion about the open road as of something about to happen, a suggestion which Farnol develops most happily, for something does happen. And so his short story, ' ' The J oufney 's En4," is a story of this same road, or the end of such a road, and the end of a jour ney thereon, and of a wanderer and what he found at the journey's end. This is the first short story Jeffery Farnol has pub lished since his book made him known. It is a good short story, one of the good short stories in the November Century, but by no means the only one.
