MEXICO OFFERS
RAILROAD FARE
TO SETTLERS
The Mexican republic upon order of
President Obregon, concurred in by
the congress of his country, has sent
official word to all of its diplomatic
agents throughout the United States
that will forego the usual customs
red tape, pay the full passenger fares
and 50 per cent of freight costs to all
Americans wishing to take up land
wtihin its borders.
Announcement of this remarkable
proposal of the southern republic was
made here yesterday by A. Rafael
Vejar, consul of Mexico, with offices
in the Morgan building.
Following is the official order:
"In order to encourage foreign im
migration, President Obregon has just
issued orders, in accordance with con
gress, authorizing the secretary of the
department of agriculture to encour
age and assist immigrants to Mexico
with full fares in traveling within the
territory of the republic and extend
ing an aid of 50 per cent in then
transportation of bundles, furniture,
household goods, machinery, agricul
tural implements, animals for their
service and breeding purposes, and
othei: necessaries. The government
will also exempt them from custom
house duties at the port of entrance."
"Mexico is a very fertile country,"
said Mr. Vejar, "and has a vast un
cultivated area of rich land, to be
populated, it is hoped, by Americans
who may wish to locate in that coun
try. President Obregon has, from the
outset of his administration, shown
great friendship for the republic on a
Americans. With the republic on a
new basis of buisness stability and
with peace within and without its
borders, the country has taken on a
new lease of life."

Brenton Vedder, county school
superintendent, announced Monday
afternoon that the following schools
have qualified as Standard, and that
the balance of the county school are
getting in line as fast as possible:
"Willamette, Kelso and Cottrell.
Up to date, schools over the county
which have enrolled under the Stand
ard banner, and which met all the re
quirements and specifications of the
rules as sent out by the state super
intendent's office follow as in the
order they qualified.

that they are hard to get at that.
According to Superintendent Vedder,
the first of the year many of the
country schools were without teach
ers, and it was with the utmost dif
ficulty that the positions were filled.

al hundred bogg ran wild through the
streets and yards in the east Buffalo
section today when 200 women,
weary of waiting for city ordinances
to regulate livestock driving in the
streets, took the law into their own
hands.
The women first argued with the
drovers and finding them obdurate.
attacked them with sticks and stones.
The boys scattered during the melee.
A detail of policemen quelled the

WEST LINN
BOY RETURNS
FROM VOYAGE
Fred Armstrong, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Armstrong, of West Linn
surprised his parents Saturday morn
ing, when he unexpectedly arrived
from a sea voyaere of almost two
years' duration.
Armstrong left on the S. S. Hoxeye,
and has covered nearly all sections
of the world, except Australia and
Ireland, he says, but in his estimation
there is no place like old Oregon, and
the trains could not travel westward
fast enough after arriving in Phila
delphia. As soon as he received his
check, he lost no time purchasing his
ticket for Portland, and now says ha
is through with the sea, and is to set
tie down on dry land. 'With the sea
ahead of you continually and ai all
sides appeals to me no more," says
the young man.
Before making this trip Armstrong
was in the service for 27 months, and
shortly after entering the service dUN
ing the world war wag sent over seas
remaining until some time after the
armistice was signed.
Armstrong has had many exciting
and interestine- experiences since
leaving here, and when making his
apperance today was given most
cordial greeting by his many friends
and comrades of the world war.

WHEN MACHINE
BACK-FIRES
H. B. Greene, chief clerk of the
W. V. S. R. Co., of this city, received
a broken arm when his automobile
back-fired' as he attempted to crank
the machine. His arm was broken
near the wrist and one of ithe fractur
ed bones protruded through the
flesh. Dr. Frank Mount was called
and set the bones. Greene lays the

to crank it.
Local People Testify
Convict Bootlegger
Robert Lowe, Portland restaurant
man, was arrested on a moonshining
charge by the officers of that city
and found guilty by the federal grand
jury Wednesday for violating the
national prohibition act. Lowe was
convicted, it is reported upon the di
rect testimony of Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Worthington, of Oregon City.
The federal agents allege that they
had been looking for Lowe for some
(time, and that he was one of the
hardest bootleggers to catch in the
history of the police department.
The case against Lowe hinged
largely upon the testimony of Mr.
and Mrs. C. A. Worthington of Ore
gon City, who stated that they haa
manufactured moonshine under con
tract with Lowe. A check made in
favor of Worthington and signed by
Lowe was introduced in evidence.
BRAKES ON CAR
RELEASED AND
CAUSES SMASH
According to authentic information
received this morning, the Dodge
auto, belonging to J. C. M. Dodds,
which crashed 'through the Price
Bros.' store window Thursday even
ing, was the fault of small boys who
had been looking the car over, ana
released the brakes. Mr. Dodds was
not in town at the time of the ac
cident, at first reported, and had left
the car in the garage upon leaving
town. The garage management park
ed the car in the street, with the
brakes properly set and claim they
were not responsible for the accident.
The Brotherhood Of
Man, Nit
It's a' theory most wholesome, but its
followers are few.
That all mankind are brothers and
should be brave and true,
But just because I'm cranky, I've a
very different view,
So listen to my song.
Chorus. Do not trust the man who
tella you,
That he's seeking just to help you.
Chances are he wants to skin you,
So listen to my song.
I have noticed that the doctor who
informs us of our ills,
And gives us lots of council with a
lot of nasty pills,
Is really planing anxiously ito pocket
all our bills,
So listen to my song.
When the lawyer calmly tells you
that your case you're sure to win,
And tello the Datient jury what a
marter you have been, -"
He is only really planing how to gob
ble up your tin,
So listen to my song.
When the preacher urges mounfully
for you to save your soul,
And make the golden city one etern
al goal,
Don't you doubt it for a minute he is
after your bank roll,
Solisten to my song.
The banker spends his leisure in
writing little rhymes,
That teacher wasting) money
is the
very worst of crimes,
But what he's realy after is to gather
in our dimes,
So listen to my song.
The Auto men are hummers and that
all would have you know,
That they're planning for your com.
forts and to drive away your woe,
But get me right dear comrade they
will stick you for your dough,
So listen to my song.
Almost every one is preaching now
thebrotherhood of man,
And they want to help their fellows
by Bome real progressive plan
But keep your eyes wide open
for
they'll skin you if they can,
So listen to my song.

Woman will have to become a spee-

to take her place in the business
world she is entering. This of itself
need not change the ethical charac

though she must let go out from the
home a large part of its activities to
allow her time an energy for her
business. It need no more destroy
her wifely and motherly instincts
than it has made of man less a hus

Civilization, which has been able to

We cannot believe that womankin 1

some adjustment can be contrived to
deprive motherhood of many of the

OPEN DOORS
IN BUSINESS
THE BACTERIOLOGIST.
Whether or not bacteriology is an
attractive field depends entirely upon
the tastes of the girl and upon her
motives in life. It requires a love of
careful, painstaking, conscientious,
and arduous work in science, with a
complete lack of imagination and
sentiment and a devotion to bald
truth.
To the natural student with a
scientific mind who loves discovery ot
truth for its own sake and not for
the renumeration it brings ifnancial
ly, this is an ideal field. It does not
pay well in currency and it the busi
ness of the scholar who scoffs at mon
ey as a return for the service he is
able to render science and humanity.
At present none but a college grad
uate is welcomed into a laboratory as
a bacteriologist, although there are
helpers who clean bottles, test tubes,
and assist in the actual work of dis
section. Some of these have by this
service become remarkably proficient
and are invaluable although they are
not licensed bacteriologists and can
only remain "helpers." While in col
lege the girls who expect to become
bacteriologists specialize in chemistrj
and physiology. They spend as much
time as they can in the laboratories.
They soon find out whether or not
the work will be congenial. If one
loves it ,she is fitted; if it soon be
comes drudgery, she had better give
it up as she will never succeed,
After graduating from college the
bacteriologist usually spends six
months in a laboratory of some
Board of Health. She may then get
a portion as assistant. The salary
is little above $50 a month at first,
but increases slowly, reaching its
limit of $75 a month for assistants
A full-fledged bacteriologist receives
from $100 to $150 according to ability.
Promotion is largely a matter of
chance depending on a vacancy above
by the death or resignation of some
one higher up.
The only easy thing about bacter
iology Ia the hours, these being from
nine in the rooming till four in the
w!nter and five in the summer. The
requirements- and demands for bac
teriology are increasing but it will
probably always remain more the
work of the lover of humanity and
science than tnat or tne i-usiaess
man. Serology, or the work ot an
alyzing serums, is allied and often
done by bacteriologists.

USES FOR THE WORN-OUTS.
At the end of winter, especially
this recent high priced winter, many
homes are finishing up odds and ends
of clothing and furnishings such as
they would not have believed endur-
able a few years ago. Still there is
worth in some of these and the thrif-
tv housewife can turn them into
something of value yet.

recognition of sex difference. The
dress of both will become standard
ized and less distinctive add sugges
tive. With economic independence women
will be free to live their own lives, to
show their preferment, to refrain from
giving themselves unworthily. They
will receive finer courtesy from their
men who will take more pains to keep
the respect of the women whose loy
alty they no longer hold through "the
loaves and fishes," but which is a
high, free gift to the one each re
gards is most admirable.
There have always been in the
world many childless women. Such
may satisfy their heart yearnings by
choosing some business of social
motherhood. This will work for the
happiness and a fair advantage of both
themselves and overburdened moth
ers and also bring it about that no
little child need go neglected or
without the touch" of motherly love.
Entering business and citizenship,
there will be immense new fields ot
learning to be mastered. This will
make woman more educated, exper
ienced, and capable. She will learn
to look at things broad-mindedly, will
learn to take responsibilities, and
risks and devote herself to the bigger
affairs of life, having less regard for
gossip, tatting, and dress. i
Her new mingling will make woman
less "back-woodsy" and more "spruc-ed-up."
She will be more intelligent,
inspired, broad-visioned, vibrant,
charming, happy and useful.
The glorious Woman of Tomorrow!
Have no fear for her. She is in the
bands of evolution, and is being fash
ioned into a creature the beauty of
which we have not yet dreamed of.
With Man she will move on and on

New odds and ends of woolen
goods, percales, ginghams, etc., may
be 'made into comforts and quilts. It
is a question how much time it
worth while spending on these. Un
les the sewing machine is used in
piecing or the woman's time is of
very little value, piecing quilts is an
expensve luxury.
All scraps of goods may be washed

Putting education into unhealthy
children ig like putting new wine in
to old bottles. The container will
not stand the test.
It is hard to get an education un
der any circumstance, with physical
handicaps it is cruelty. A generation
ago, we boasted loudly, "The country
is the place to rear children. Turn
the boy loose in the country and let
him grow hardy." But suddenly some
statistician spoiled our smug theory
by demonstrating that city children
were more healthy than their country
cousins. This was due, they told us,
to less exposure and wet feet, more
obtainable medical care, fewer cold
lunches, better lighting, heating and
ventilation of his school house, and
more adequate physical development
in playground training.
This as a shock!
More cities have medical inspection
of school children. Few rural schools
have it. Most cities see that their
children have a hot lunch at noon.
Few rural schools do.
There is a call for more Parent
Teacher Clubs or Community organ
izations in the country. The Public
Health Nurse is the best known
agent to discover the defects of each
child. Some organization is neces
sary to follow it up and see that
these defects are remedied.
THE FAMILY HOTBED
The first week in March is none too
early to start the hotbed. By so doing
one may enjoy radishes, onions and
lettuce a few weeks earlier than if
he waited until the weather permitted
them to be planted in the garden.
A hotbed is not difficult to make
nor so expensive that it will not repay
one many times for the early -vegetables
to be enjoyed and the neat lit
tle sum to be derived from selling a
few on the early market. Aside from
this, many other vegetables of the
later varieties may be started and
have a fine vigorous growth for early
transplantlng. These vegetables al
ways have a ready sale.
The standard sash for hotbeds is
3x6 feet. There are those just halt
the standard size. Any number ma
be used side by side. A two-sash bed
which is 3x12 feet is large, enough
for ordinary purposes and it might be
well to divide the bed since tomatoes.
peppers, eggplants and such veg
etables need more heat than cabbage,
lettuce and onions. Or if little paper
pots are used they may be shifted to
the warmest or coolest spots. . This
will be found advantageous in setting
out, as the tiny roots need not be dis
turbed, simply tear the bottom out
of the cup and set out as usual. The
paper proves a good enemy for cut
worms also.
The bed should be dug at least 2
feet deep and stout stakes driven in
at the corners to nail the side' and
end planks to. The 'bed should slope
from 2 feet in the back to about 15
fhches in front and should face the
south so ft will have the full benefit
of the sun.
Fresh horse manure mixed wit
straw or leaves is used for the bed,
putting it in layers and seeing that
each layer is well tramped down. The
manure should contain enuogh straw
or littler to make it springy. Six
inche3 of good soil is put over the
manure, the sash is put in place and
left till the thermometer, which is
driven down into the soil, registers
80 degrees. Then in a couple of days
the bed will be ready for planting the
earliest seeds. Lettuce, onions, mus
tard and radishes may be matured in
the bed and may be had in four or
five weeks.
The bed must be watched and. in
telligently watered and ventilated.
Sash should be raised a little at all
times, if the weather is at al warm,
so that the plants will not grow
spindling. Farm Life.

SAVING FOR COLLEGE.
-S.sJsc.$..$.Ssg$s$I
A movement is succeeding in the
South which brings about the savings
of money by children in school for
their college education. Mrs. Browne,
state chairman of the Federation ot
Women's clubs of Louisiana, reports
that 80 per cent of the children ot
the public schools are saving their
money for future needs. One large
life insurance company of the South
is offering a "college education pol
icy" on which payments are made as
for Christmas savings. When the
high school course is finished, the
college education may be provided for
in advance.

Ontario is making an effort to fill
a long felt need by cooperating with
rural communities in establishing a
social center. The Department) of
Ontario will furnish note exceeding
one-fourth of the cost of the necesary
building, or not exceeding $2,000. It
provides plans, or approves the plans
suggested by the community commit
tees. These community centers must
have at least three acres near at
hand for athletics and each building
must have an auditorium or assem
bly room with moveable seats, stage,
and other equipment. It must also
have a reading room including li
brary and kitchenette. The center
shall be available for any public
gathering of an educational, frater
nal, religious or social nature or for
the discussion of public questions.
