STARTLING POISONING CASE IN NEW YORK STATE Wife of East End Heavyweight Gen tleman Hopes Terrible Struggle Will Last Forever. Mr McGovern, a heavyweight gen tleman of London's East end, who bad never been known to work, but who, nevertheless, has added to the popula tion of the earth In figures up to ten, suddenly became heroic, and enlisted. The following dialogue took place be tween Mrs. McGovern and a lady, Mr*. McGovern being happy and compl»- cent in the receipt of her 27-6 from war office- Mrs. McGovern—Good morning, miss. « Lady—Good morning, Mrs. McOov- ern. I hear Mr. McGovern has gone to the war. Mr». McGovern (cheerfully)—Ye*, miss. Lady—Well, Mrs. McGovern, what do you think of this terrible war? Mrs. McGovern—I-ord. lady! I hope It will last forever!—Judge. How He Knew. “You say,’’ said the attorney for the defense, "that though the night was very dark, you saw Rastus Johnson leaving your hencoop at midnight from your bedroom window?" “Yes, sir,” said the plaintiff "How could you distinguish him in the blackness of the night?” demanded View of the Odd Fellows’ Home for the Aged at Yonkers.

No other human being could cast such a shadow on anything BLUECHER ON FIRE AND SINKING IN THE NORTH SEA so dark as that night already was."— Judge. SOMETHING WRONG. Some Canneries, Loosely Organized, Do Not Pay Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis— “ Some of the canneries in the Northwest are making great success. Others are just about existing and still others arc bankrupt." said Professor C. I. Lewis, when addressing the farmer» who were attending the Farm ers’ Week at the Oregon Agricultural college. Professor Lewis attributes many of these failures to the fact that the canneries are run by private cap ital. whereas most of those now In existence in the Northwest are either co-operative or a»sociative canneries. “ One of the greatest troubles with our co-operative canneries is that many of them are so loosely organised that they cannot do any legal business. ¡•oik Exhibita Planned. Monmouth — Plans for exhibits at the 1915 Polk County fair have been made by pupils in the schools of this city. Gardens will be planted at the earliest clearing of the weather and drying off of the ground. In addition to having instructions as to the proper cultivation of vegetables on tho plots, pupils are to have gardons at home. High school students, however, will have only home gardens, as the school garden plan has been abandoned. Great Interest ha» been centered upon garden work by the grammar school boys for the past two years. They do not wait for the season to arrive be fore plana take form. The earliest vegetable raised command high prices at market. Polk Nearly Rid ot Peat. Monmouth — The war on gophers, which has been conducted in Polk county for two years has at last se cured a grip on the common field pests’ work and destruction has abated par tially, according to the statem ents of extensive land owners in this sec tion. The farm ers say the clover crop has attracted the gophers. In the sumiffisi* hnd faff ihbnttrtr tfictfophthi undermine the clover plants and stop seed development. The animals also fatten in potato fields and sap plant life in gardens in the early summer. New Office la Created. Salem — An additional deputyship, making the total number three, for the attorney general’s department, was created by an act passed by the recent legislature. The salary of the chief deputy was increased from $2000 to $2500; the second deputy will receive $2000 and the third $1200. The new deputy will devote most of his time to industrial accident commission cases. I. H. Van Winkle, of Salem, is chief deputy. The legislature also appro priated $10,000 for the prosecution of the Hyde-Henson land cases. Student a Win In Strike. Eugene—Three hundred high school students, who "struck” several weeks aga and refused to attend certain classes to which the school board had fixed o tuition fee, were sustained by an opinion of George M. Brown, attor ney general. He holds that the school board has no right to charge tuition to *ny classes. The legal authorities ot association German armored cruiser Bluecher, which was destroyed by the British In the recent North sea battle, photo work in this country say that all asso graphed just before she turned over and went down by the stern. The crew were singing patriotic songs as the ciations must be purely mutual. How ressel sank. Many of them were rescued by the English. ever, many of our associations are not of this type and the most successful cannery in the state today is not a FRENCH CREEPING INTO THEIR TRENCHES pure co-operative association. 1 do not believe that it is possible to run an association successfully without paying dividends. A second great difficulty which is made by the can neries in the Northwest is their lack of capital. If your farm ers do not feel that they are willing to put in $26 each to start a cannery they had better leave it alone. 1 believe that $10,000 is necessary to successfully Btatr a cannery.” Man l.oat Since fire found. Marshfield — Joseph Booker, whose body was searched for in the ruins of the Bunker Hill boarding house, where seven persons perished by] fire, was found in a Smith-Powers logging camp at Wagner. The reason for his disappearance without leaving any word caused the widespread search to be made. He said he went to a small waiting depot at Bunker Hill the morning after the fire, waited there for daylight and then started for the Wagner camps on foot. i/VAR IS PLEAS IN G TO WOMAN C O R P O R A L H O L M E S .

By a decision Just rendered by the probate court of London, England, the great battle for the Slingsby fortune has been decided at last in favor of Teddy Slingsby, the four-year-old subject of this photograph. The decision in effect declares him to be legitimate son of Charles Raymond Slingsby, though two brothers of the former lieutenant of the royal navy who settled In San Francisco and married Miss Dorothy Culter Morgan have claimed otherwise. Little Teddy becomes heir to an income of $50,000 per year. Woman—The airshaft’s out of order. Janitor—What ails it? Woman—1 can’t hear a word that’s *>eing said in the apartment below.

"I once heard of a sadly henpecked man who made friends with a mouse and by keeping the little animal al ways about him contrived to get the the upper hand.” "A strange story. How long did that state of affairs continue?” "Only a short while. The man's wife introduced a cat and the moment the cat pounced on the mouse she pounced on her husband.’’ In Petrograd. The American war correspondent approached the Russian censor with due humility. "Would it be proper,” he began, "to call the children of the Little White Father Czardines?” Which is another reason for those Siberian horrors. Dixmude After Rain. “The names of towns and cities In the war zone are sometimes given cu rious pronunciations.” "What is the latest example you have heard?” "An old gentleman commented on the fierce fighting that took place at 'Dixmuddy.’ ” Suffragettes, Perhaps. "Whenever I see two women en gaged in whispered conversation I al ways suspect them of undermining somebody's character.” “You shouldn't be so cynical.
