NO KICK COMING.
The student in Corvallis is in
deed a fortunate fellow. A spec
ial, bulletin just received from
the Iowa State Agricultural Col
lege at Ames advertises that
"board and room may be obtain
ed in the neighborhood of the
school for from $6.00 to $8.00."
And that's down in old Iowa
where everything is supposed to
be cheap. , In Corvallis the max
imum figure for room and board
is $6.00 a week, and very, very
few pay that. But at Ames the
$6.00 rate is advertised as the
minimum. It is also noted that
at a four week's summer course a
matriculation fee of $10 is charg
ed. The O. A. C. winter short
courses soon to begin charge but
$1.00 and a small laboratory fee.
CORVALLIS THE PLACE
A $5,000,000 loss by blizzard
and high tide is the' record in
Boston. To this must be added
the loss of twenty-seven lives at
Boston and New York. And the
Willamette never had a real bliz
zard, never had a cyclone, never
had an electrical storm,; never
experienced an earthquake. The
only thing against us is our rain
falland the yearly average of
the Willamette Valley is less than
that of New York. Corvallis,
with its never-to-zero weather,
looks mighty good as we read
the winter reports from other
sections.
THEY WANT
OUR AN8ELL
MADISON, Wis., Dec 27.
(Special. ) -E. D. Angell, formerly
basketball coach at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, now , director
rvf aViloira at trio Civacran A rrri
cultural College; is the . latest
.suggestion for the vacancy in
the directorship of ' Wisconsin
athletics.
Director Hutchins resigned a
few days ago to go to the Bitter
Root irrigation project, but his
real reason was , faculty opposi
tion to intercollegiate athletics.
Angell may be opposed,' because
when he was at Wisconsin the
Badger institution was enthus
iastic over athletics and the new
readme is not friendlv to' the
men of the old order of athletics:
Director Angell has nothing to
say other than that the position
pays $3,000 a year. He was in
the athletic - department five
years, first as instructor, then
as assistant professor and acting
director. i '..

BLAST FOR WILLIAM WATSON
Lo Gallienne's Reply to British Poet's
War on Women.
William Watson's statement that his
visit to the United States is but an in
itial move in a war on the family of
Premier Asquith of England has still
further stirred the turmoil created by
the British poet's original poem.
Richard Lie Gallienne, who was the
first man in America' to answer the
"Serpent's Tongue" poem with a with
ering blast of verse, has written a
second poem, which he dedicates to
Mr. Watson. It answers the tatter's
latest statement of explanation con
cerning his visit to America. The
poem as printed in the New York
American follows:
His country! So It was to save
England he crossed the wireless wave.
Patriot, indeed, who runs away
Because he needs the sea to say
The words he feared to say on land.
Is England in so bad a plight
She needs a man like this to fight
Her battle, one who takes the hand
Of a fair hostess on a day
And prints the words of yesterday!
O altar of the sacred muse!
Shall Englishwomen thus bear shame
To give an English poet fame?
There is a man who sings the Eong
Of England in such living words
They thrill along the waiting wires
And make the world forget the birds. '
He with his iron English pen
Has written the strong code of men."
His meter Will not march with mine.
So 1 must place his mighty line
As footnote to a fleeting song.
Ah, he Is England's man today. '
He who 'Joined hands of east and west
And made the wide word understand
England is England all the way!
ENVOI.
If English statesmen have done wrong
Hit at them in the hardest song.
And should their women not do right,
Then call their men folk out to fight.
That is the fair and ancient way.
But do not in a teacup song
Say "woman with the serpent's tongue."
"if 8ne have spoken a word, remem
ber thy lips are sealed.
And the brand of the dog is upon him by
whom is the secret revealed."
"If she have written a letter, delay not
an instant, but burn it.
Tear it in, pieces, O fool, and the wind to
her mate shall return it!
If there be trouble to herward and a lie
of the blackest can clear.
Lie while thy lips can move or a man Is
alive to hear."
"Certain Maxims of Haflx," by Eudyard
Kipling.

KING AS A STEVEDORE.
Sweden's Ruler, In Disguise, Carried
Coal to Learn Workmen's Views.
King Gustave of Sweden, who re
cently disguised himself as a steve
dore and spent most of the day car
rying sacks of coal from a lighter at
Stockholm, said after itvwas all over
that this was. only the beginning. He
intended to mix with all classes of la
borers so that he might ascertain their
opinions and wishes. 'Already, he add
ed, he had obtained many valuable
hints from the men with whom he
worked.
The determination of King Gustave
to learn of the conditions of the work
ingmen by mingling with them and
taking part in their labors has resulted
from the recent great tieup of the
business life of the country by a gen
eral strike. King Gustave intervened
last August in an endeavor to secure
a compromise, but without avail. The
strike continued for months and in
volved thousands of men, the employ
ers' association paying $40,000 daily
to support its weaker members, while
the trades unions and other working
men's associations exhausted their en
tire funds to keep strikers from starv
ing. Eventually arbitration was undertak
en by the Swedish government to set
tle the dispute, and in the Interim
many of the workmen returned to their
tasks, although the number unemploy
ed remained very .great. King Gus
tave, the queen and other members
of the royal family, as well as the
cabinet ministers, contributed to a na
tional' fund for the purpose of provid
ing loans to the working classes.
Homesteads have already been appor
tioned among the unemployed, but con
ditions remain such as to cause the
king and his government grave anx
iety. The king found difficulty In ascer
taining facts and made arrangements
to join the craftsmen and laborers at
their work in order to get his infor
mation at first hand.
HOME SCENERY FOR SCHOOLS
Movement to Banish Foreign Art For
American Pastoral Pictures.
Foreign pastoral scenes are to be su
perseded in the west and especially in
schooihouses by scenes of American
farm life if a movement now under
way is carried out . It has become no
ticeable that most rural works of art
deal with scenes in foreign lands, the
wooden shoes of Holland being prom
inent, and a movement is now under
way to encourage art dealing with
farm scenes in the United States, said
to be the most beautiful in the world.
All country schooihouses will be
asked to take down the pictures of
Dutch life and substitute pictures of
American country life. James Wilson,
secretary of agriculture, has ordered
down all these pictures In his depart
ment and 'has given ' orders ' for the
walls to remain - bare until paintings
of American country life are brought
out to take their place.
The movement is meeting with the
hearty accord of all art students, who
say there Is no reason for not working
along American lines, as the United
States has abundant material for
paintings far superior to any to be
found in the old world. 1
Several such schemes have been
started in New York city, but they
have, fallen through because of the lo
cation, and the league promoters think
the only way to succeed is to Interest

munities. PIPES THAT GROW IN FIELDS

provided work being done by the' de
partment of agriculture at Washington
realizes results confidently anticipated
by those having it in charge.
Efforts to Introduce into the United
States the South African calabash, or
gourd, are meeting with marked suc
cess. The use of the calabash as a
pipe bowl was discovered by the
Boers, who attempted to monopolize
the product and prevent the exporta
tion of seed.. Some were obtained for
experiments in the United States, and
it is found the vine grows luxuriantly
and produces large crops of gourds un
der our soil and climatic conditions.
The pipes are graceful and distinc
tive in shape, according to a report
from the department. Imported pipes
made from the calabash sell at from
$S to $12 each. They color like the
meerschaum and are delightful smok
ers. The high cost of the pipes is caused
by the amount of hand work necessary
in preparing them, the shapes varying
so that machine work Is not practica
ble. The gourds can easily be made Into
pipes by buying inside bowls and
mouthpieces. ,.''-
