FARM TRAINING URGED
G. W. HENDERSON" SPEAKS TO
REAiTY BOARD MEMBERS.
Adoption of AgTicnlttiral Education-
1 Department In Otty and
County Schools Surggted.
Adoption by both city and countv
schools In the state of a farm educa
tional department waa advocated In an
address given by O. W. Henderson,
principal of the Ockley Green school,
before the Portland Realty Board yes
terday. .
Mr. Henderson said that one of the
greatest factors In the future develop
ment of lands would be the Introduc
tion ot new principles In the educa
tional system by which young men
would recognise the advantages of
rm life over those offered In the
crowded cities. The speaker said that
under the present public school system
the attention of young men Is directed
solely to persuits of city life.
"The great problem today Is to Im
prove and aettle the lands. said Mr.
Hendereon. We muat adopt aome plan
Dy wnicn ww can anow young men that
they will have better advantages on
the farm. Every other walk In life Is
crowded. We must make the young
people see that country life Is the
proper life to live. One of the steps
towards this end would be the estab
lishment of agricultural high schools
in each county and teach modern prin
ciples of agriculture and horticulture.
These sohools would be open to both
city and country pupils. They would
be the means of inspiring many young
people to look upon farm life aa the
Ideal life. Today the impression Is
among young people that tillers of the
soil are 'Reubens.' The pupils should
be taught that there Is no higher nor
more profitable nor happier business
nan that of farming.
-The school girls' garden contest
now under way will do much towards
Impressing young minds aa to tha Im
portance of back-to-t he-f arm move

Countv Judge Cleeton and County
Commissioners Llghtner and Hart went
before the grand Jury yesterday after

recommendation of its predecessor and
make a complete investigation of

wish a whitewash, but that we wanted
them to go into the subject carefully
and thoroughly, and offered to provide
them any aslstance they might .deem
necessary.
Judge Cleeton says he haa heard

dose the system with powerful stimu
lants and tonics, calculated to restore
nervous force or strength that is not

result that the functions are tempo

of the patient. Weakness Is only a
symptom, resulting from many local
conditions, and Is curable by local
treatment only, without the giving of a
single Internal dose, which demon
strates the absolute accuracy ot my
understanding and treatment of this
disorder. In years I have not met
with a single failure, and I have en
