Persons watching the eclipse of the sun be - hind the moon Saturday morning In the first total eclipse visible In New York City since white set - tlements were established here, were warned today ny Dr. r ree, member of tho American Astron omical society, to safeguard their eyes. Previous total eclipses, according to Dr. Free, have left a toll of Im paired visions. This eclipse which will be visible to the largest num ber of persons that ever have gaz ed upon a like phenomenon, will bring widespread injury unless ob servers use precautions. While the moon is edging Into the center of the sun. and leaving It, Dr. Free advises all observers to wear smoked glasses or cover their eyes with an exposed camera film. Even better, he says, they should wear black handsdges while eclipse Ih approaching totality. the REV. VDTAW, LAST OF HARDIKG'S OFFICIAL FAMILY, RESIGNS AS f AmooI.IM Prtm tsim Wlr..)

" CLAIMED OF NO VALUE Farm Is of No Benefit to Agricultural Industry It Is Claimed and Sup port Is Opposed, Tho Roseburg chamber of com merce will make a thorough and exhaustive examination of . the Btatus of the Bo-called model farm, east of Roseburg, and will make recommendations regard ing the proposed handling of this project. It is understood that legisla ture Is to be asked tor another appropriation to continue this project, and if such la the case the chamber of commerce ex pects to go definitely on record as being opposed to the expen ditures of any more of tbe atate funds on this farm. Four years ago, when tha farm was started, tha stockhol ders In the old fair grounds, turned over their stock to the state for a very nominal sum, it being the understanding at that time that the farm was to be conducted with a view of erlvlng demonstrations and advice to the farmers of the county. It was believed that it would be UBed to aid and help the farmers of tho county, and as the agricultural Industry at that time was in need of all- assistance that could be given, It was believed that the farm would be of great benefit. However, the farm was pur chased and equipped at state ex pense, and Is being used merely to determine whether, or not a farm can be conducted on a pro fit basis. Up to the present time It has been of no benefit whatsoever to the agricultural Industry of the county, and has cost the state a large sum of money. There has been some agitation favoring a change from a model farm, so called, to an experiment station, but there Is some oppo sition to this plan also. The chamber of commerce plans to make a thorough . examination Into this proposal, and will either recommend that the place be disposed of at public auction, or that an experiment station, operated under the Oregon Agri cultural College plan, be In stalled. Any further appropria tion will not meet with favor.! n The secretary has written for a complete report on the project and Its present standing, and all facts will be fully investigated before any definite action is ta ken. . . 1 EVEN AS AT llOSKBURO.
