The community conferences are a development from the system of filing single lecture calls. City planning is one specimen top ic for a community conference. The State University has a school of ar chitecture, at the head of which is El lis F. Lawrence, who is notable in city planning work. Anv Oregon city that desires,' to map out a develop ment plan so that as the years go on it will be a healthier, prettier anil happier city in which to live is en titled to the services of anyone on the State Unversity faculty who can speak with authority upon city planning. A city's educational system is an other specimen topic for a community conference. The University school of education is able to make limited number of school surveys this year, showing to each surveyed town where its schools are strong and where de fective. An elaborate survey of this type was made last year for Ashland, Ore. Community conferences on the schools are suggested. School of commerce professors are available for conference upon city administration. FISH FOR EAST Many Humpback Salmon Being Trans planted to Rivers and Lakes In the fall of 1913 the Bureau of Fisheries transferred from the Pa cific coast to Maine 13,240,000 hump back salmon eggs, and in the fall of 1914 a second shipment of 7,022,000 eggs was forwarded. These eggs were developed at the Green Lake and Craig Brook hatcheries, and the re sulting fry were planted in various selected streams where the conditions seemed favorable. Reports have been received indi cating the survival of some of the early plants and the possibility of the establishment of a run. Early in August, 1915, a female humpback sal mon 221, inches long and weighing 4 pounds 3 ounces was taken at Ban gor waterworks in the Penobscot. A little later a male fish of about the same size was taken in this river at Orland Dam. It is the intention of the bureau to continue the planting of humpback salmon fry and fingerlings in Maine waters, ad arrangements have been made to ship about 7,000,000 eggs of that species to the stations above re ferred to during the fall of 1915. LADDER IS VIEWED Fish Warden Kelly and Party Look Over Aid to Salmon at Falls In order to become thoroughly ac quainted with conditions at the fish ladder over the falls of the Willamette FLsh Warden Kelly, F. M. Warren, Jr., and I. N. Fleishner visited the county seat last week and looked over altera tions that are now being made. After viewing the fish ladder and approach es the committee suggested that a number of obstacles be cleared away and some further changes in construc tion be incorporated in the plans. It is also hoped to have a number of blind channels near the approach of the fish ladder opened up, so that in the future runs the salmon will en counter less difficulty in passing over the falls to spawning grounds above.

TREND TOWARD BUSINESS Choice of Studies Indicates Trade De velopment Is Impending Here The necessity of building up the trade relations of Oregon is at last being recognized by the young men of the state, whose awakening is in dicated by their choice of studies this autumn at the University of Oregon. The oldtime student in the classic, at college usually picked out law, medicine, the ministry, or teaching as his profession. The student of 1915 is more likely to be taking cost ac counting, domestic commerce, business law, business organization and man agement, municipal administration, public utility accounting, resources of the northwest, and similar studies that help to fit for constructive busi ness in Oregon. FOREST SERVICE NEWS What Uncle Sam Is Doing for Folk Told in Brief Paragraphs In Oregon, there are approximate ly 709,000 head of sheep grazing up on the National Forests. This rep resents 43 percent of the number grazed in the State. In its improvement work, the For est Service has constructed to date in Washington and Oregon over 4000 miles of trail and the same length of telephone line. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, there was opened to entry on the National Forests of Oregon, upon individual applications, 315 for est homesteads, covering an area of about 29,000 acres; and in National Forests of Washington, there were 812 forest homesteads opened to entry, covering an area of 3,800 acres. Results obtained from land class ification work on the National For ests demonstrates the fact that prac tically all farm land has been ex cluded from the forests. According to figures compiled by the Government, water powers in the State of Oregon are capable of de. veloping 3,500,000 H. P. and in the State of Washington 5,000,000 H. P. In Oregon there are already developed 156,181! II. P. and in Washington 408, 000 II. P. "Intelligently" Is Good Although the general election is still more than twelve-month distant, the Republican party is lining, up in Oregon for the fray. During the past week the state central committee has been active, getting into communica tion with party leaders in the various districts for the purpose of ascertain ing from first hand local conditions that it may act INTELLIGENTLY in the campaign that is approaching.

Italian Zouaves Once Voted to Make Their Ruler a Corporal. During the battle of Palaestro, In 1859, the Austrtans In three columns attacked the Piedtnohtese In order to throw them back across the Sesla. The right and center columns were repuls ed, but the left continued to advance and threatened danger. At that mo ment the Third zouaves, led by Colonel Chabran and obeying the orders of Vic tor Emmanuel II.. attacked the Aus trians with the bayonet, threw the en emy back across the bridge over the Sesla-and drowned many of them in the Sasetta cauul. In this memorable battle the king was constantly In the fiercest of the fight. The zouaves were enchanted with his prowess, and in the evening a sergeant of the regiment proposed that they should send a congratulatory address to his majesty. 'Let's raise him to the rank of cor poral," suggested one, which proposi tion was unanimously adopted. The scholar of the company thereupon set down In his finest calligraphy: "By the wish of the Third regiment of zouaves Victor Emmanuel, by trade king of Sardinia, is appointed unani mously a corporal in the suid regi ment" Then, while the wish was hot, a deputation of corporals and men went to Castle Torione, where the king was staying. The deputation was announc ed. The king was pleased to receive it at once, notwithstanding the fact that he was in his shirt sleeves. He was greatly moved by the token of admlra. tiou, pressed the stripes to his heart and conveyed his thanks In such terms that the zouaves, in a delirium of Joy. cheered him as if they would nevar stop, and in taking their leave one and all embraced their newly appointed corporal.

Until 1881 the president of the Unit ed States had no personal flag, his presence on board an American naval vessel being indicated liy hoisting the national emblem at the head of the mainmast, and the garrison flag, re served for times of special ceremony, was displayed on the staff at army posts whenever be visited them. The need of a special flag for the president was frequently felt, especial ly when visiting royalty was entertain ed in this country. In August, 1882, It was directed by the secretary of the navy that "the flag of the president of the United States shall consist of a blue ground, with the arms of the United States in the center. The flag shall be hoisted at the mainmast of, the vessel of war while the president Is on board and shall be carried in the bow of his boat." For years after this the national flag was used for indicating the presence of the vice president or of an ex-president, but this use was more or less confusing, and, besides, It was argued, the stars and stripes properly stand for the nation rather than any in dividual. For this reason a special flag for the vice president was adopted. This flag is the same in design as the president's naval blue flog, except that the national coat of arms is emblazon ed on a white field on It Cabinet offi cers and the assistant secretaries of some of tbe executive departments also have distinctive flags. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Natural Pillows, The pollack tree provides the natives of British Honduras with splendid ma terial for pillows and mattresses. It is a common soft wood growth with a large pear shaped fruit, which has a hard shell, changing to almost black when ripe, and containing a short sta ple brown fluff or silk fiber. The fluff Is about a quarter of aa inch loug, more like the finest of camel's hair than fiber, and is used extensively for filling pillows and mattresses. It will not become hard, even after years of service. The natives occasionally ex pose it to the sunlight for a day or two and put it back as good as ever. Then She Smiled. The tall, cheerful young man glanced up at the haughty blond behind the counter and smiled a sunny smile. "1 beg pardon," suid he. "but you don't care a thing for beauty, do you?" "Sir!" retorted the haughty blond. "How dare you! What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing very particular, only you've got a mirror right there behlud you. and you've not looked luto it once!"

If you are in need of Legal Blanks you will find that it will pay you to come to the Courier, Historic Westminster Hall. Westminster hall, England's old holt of the king's Justice, Is one of the world's notable historical shrines. Built four centuries before Columbus sailed for America, burned, restored, remod eled, it bus seen more history in the making than perhaps any other build ing west of Rome. Here some of the early parliaments met, and here the second Edward was expelled from his throne. Here Richard II. was deposed, Charles I. condemned and Cromwell hailed as lord protector. Westminster hall was the scene of the trial of War ren Hastings. In it sentence of death was pronounced on William Wallace, Sir Thomas More, Somerset, Essex, Strafford and Guy Fawkes. Nuremberg. Nuremberg was once almost the rich est and most famous town in Europe. The well known saying of Pope Pius II. that a Nuremberg citizen was bet ter off than a Scottish king was Justi fied by the accounts that have been preserved of the town and its burghers. In the fifteenth century there came from Nuremberg the first watches, known as "Nuremberg eggs;" the first cannon, the first guii lock, the first wire drawing machine, the clarinet, certain descriptions of pottery and the art of painting on glass. For 800 years its walls defended the valley of the Pegnltz against all enemies. Four hun dred towers once topped the walls, but only about a third of them now remain. Clock Made of Glass. A clock constructed throughout of glass is the result of six years' work on the part of a Bavarian glass polish er. The plates and pillars which form the framework are of glass and are bolted together with glass screws. The dial plate, hands, shafts and cogwheels are of glass, and glass wedges and pins are used for fastening the various parts of the running gear together. Like the clock itself, the key by which it is wound is of glass. The construc tion of the remarkable timepiece was a matter of infinite pains. Some of the parts had to be made ns many as forty times before a clock that would go could be produced. STARX'S COMMENTARIES Turning the Tables. The saying that a woman doesn't like to tell her age may be a cruel slander on the ex, but It was true of Mrs. Thomson. She never missed a chance of letting her friends know she was years younger than her husband. "Yes, George is fifty years old," she remarked to a visitor one day, "and there are ten years between us." But the visitor was an elderly spin ster with a sour disposition. "Is that so?" she exclaimed, In well assumed surprise. "Now, really, you look quite as young as he does!" NEVER DESPAIR. Wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss, But cheerfully seek how to redress their harms.

What Is knowing something? It Is having lived through an actual expe- ienee of it; of being able to compare It with other actual experiences; of misjudging It and then being forced into correcting one's misjuilgrnent; of handling It, turning it about and look ing upon it from all sides and of medi tating upon It. This takes lime. That is why our young people know so little. They mistake a glib rendering of facts for the real thing. They think they know, but they don't Life. The Chief Sense. All the great families of living things have a dominant sense. We lead our lives by sight and make artificial lights to render darkness tolerable. But the creature whom next to ourselves we prefer, the dog, lives In a very differ ent universe. Ills dominant sense, like that of many other quadriiieds, is Jhe very one we most neglect, the sense of smell. The dog will track his muster, never lifting up his head to search the distance: often with hair falling over his eyes ho follows on. not troubling himself to shake It aside. Blessing of the Bay. So far as known the first vess d built in this country was tbe Blesslug of the Bay. In Winthrop'g Journal, un der date of July 4, 1031, appears the quaint announcement, "The governor (Winthropi built a bark at Mlstick, which was launched this day and call ed the Blessing of the Bay." Argo- Discontent is the mother of pro gress. So long as you are content with a situation or condition you seek no change. This is the reason the powers that be teach us content ment. When they find that we be come restless then they interest us in many things harmless, or at least utterly useless to ourselves and some, times even harmful to us. In order to arouse discontent among the toilers these papers are written, more often under trying conditions than other wise. In my last article I referred to the trying, uncivil surroundings which are the lot of farmers in general in order to arouse discontent. I knew that more vanity would be wounded than intelligent discontent awakened. A discontent that strikes blindly is injury self-inflicted and finally be comes defeat. Therefore it is well that we first of all realize existing facts and the nform a goal and find means of accomplishing our object. While I realize that my contribu tions are somewhat disjointed it is im possible to follow out all ideas to their ultimate end in the limited space which the Courier so generous ly bestows me; also, I am driven by the same economic lash as most farm ers, so my time and energy to this course are limited. Economists who are not hired to pervert minds or facts divide society into two classes, the producer and the explaiter. It is sometimes difficult to define some individual's class, owing to the complex state of society. Fur thermore, there are persons who are actually partly in both classes, so be long not wholly to either. These are the ones who most confuse our minds. Then there are persons who imagine themselves to belong to the "upper class" and give their moral support to the exploiter class. There are also some who realize that they are of the "mudsill" va riety, who gladly "bend the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning." These frequently get some crumbs that fall from the tables of the masters and do not re sent being kicked about. So long as the crumbs will maintain, an existence they will be good watchdogs. Of course we all must live somehow, so we seek the lines of least resistance, Many of us realize our slavery but cannot emancipate ourselves by in dividual effort. Slavery does not, however, necessarily force us into a state of mental servility. It wiil be recalled that a few years a go a movement was on foot appar. ently, to set the government wheels into motion to provide "farm credits." The political platforms more or less vaguely, told us rubes that something was to be done to us in the sweet by and bye. Then a plan reflecting rgeat wisdom was evolved to send a bunch of bums to Europe "to tsudy farm problems." Two soft-handed duffers, I believe, went from each of the sev eral states, including Oregon. These have come back and were apparently highly gratified at the "success of the junket." Have you felt it? How big was it? Or have you been so enter tained by the passing show that you forgot that there was smeothing wrong with your economic condition? Nof, of course, new numbers are be ing added t the program, so that you have perhaps forgotten that you were deliberately burglarized by your precious government out of so many plunks, and at the same timed jollied into believing something would be done for you instead of to you. After the clowns, who went on this swindling trip haw bowed off the stage, there came the so-called farm ers' organizations and some other bodies or persons with great programs of reputed farm credit plans, with all of them bewailing the fact that the farmer was being farmed quite scien tifically by those who ate their bread in the sweat of other men's faces. These plans, stripped of detail, pro vided the farmers to become jointly in debt for "say from 50 to 100 years," and then the Wall Street bunch could more easily and securely collect their unearned increment by appointing the government of this FREE country as thee ollecting agent, and still the band played on. While I am not in the baptizing business having never taken out a membership card I propose to raise my voice in this bewildering mess and suggest a plan, which I know you farmers will not adopt because "the senator is agin it," and our worthy master will not favor it "because it is too radical." You are, however, advised not to get "het up" as there is no Santa Claus going to ram it down your chimney. You will never get it until a majority of farmers de sire it. At present writing you are very anxious to have that big loan to the allies succeed, because you are heavily interested in the outcome of the international duel. After that you are afraid the cripples will over run this country like a lot of Huns and Vandals so your minds will be so oc cupied by "our unpreparedness" that you will not notice the big iron fist picking your pockets. The philosophy of our present economic system is that the exploiter shall not be molested in gathering in all the natural resources of wealth, that is, the means of living and all the artificial products taken from na ture's storehouse. The energy of or ganized society, commonly called gov ernment, is devoted to that end. The idea has become so thoroughly fixed that we usually subscribe to it with out question. Observe the many ef forts constantly being made "to en courage capital.'' The public treas ury in all the various sub-divisions are drawn upon and popular private subscriptions are industriously circu lated for countless enterprises "to en courage capital." You have never heard of a subsidy to encourage labor (the laborer) un less it was for the express purpose that capital may derive profit there from. I doubt very much if a score of my readers ever followed this idea out. Care is taken by all the agen cies which mold public opinion, that such ideas are not hatched out. These agencies are the press, the pulpit, the public rostrum and thee ircles of labor, such as farmers' organizations and labor unions. There is a reason ! Getting a living or, as we say, "making a living," requires nearly all our time and energy. This applies to all living beings except a small por. tion of human parasites, whose living is so provided for that they are often at a loss to find methods for "killing time." Aside from these there are many persons very busy doing abso lutely useless things. Then there are numbers of people whose occupations are wanton destruction, yet even these are so occupied in an effort at getting a living. Often these persons are highly honored for their utter use lessness or viciousness. Incidentolly, the observation may not be amiss that all political governments that I know anything about are occupied more than half of their time promoting de struction of property and life, and pay a premium for murder machinery and murder. In fact, all governments were formed by murderers and rob bers. So it is not strange that the basic philosophy of our economic sys tem rests pn exploiting the producer. Even the producer, taken as a whole, sees no alternative. Generally speak ing, the producer seeks to become an exploiter because he fails to compre hend that there is a better way. This series of papers are written to edu cate people to the idea of fostering production in order that the human race may all have useful work; all have plenty, and all may have leisure.
