GRADUATES HAVE MISSION Social Activities of State Hostesses at Fair Marked Livestock and Poultry From Oregon Carry Oft Awards. BY AVNE SHANNON" MONROE. OREGON BUILDING, Panama-Pacific International Exposition. San Francis co, Oct. 20. H. D. Scudder. chief of agronomy at the Oregon Agricultural College and Experiment Station, told us some interesting things about the psychology of a farmer in a visit to the. building yesterday. He considers such an exhibit as we have at the Exposi tion of tremendous value to the agri cultural interests of a state, particu larly owing to this thing of the farm er's psychology. He says that it is his experience that a farmer refuses to learn of his neighbor. For instance, he will come to this fair, make notes on the kinds of grains that do best and the nature of plant ing, tilling, etc., advocated for differ ent sections; but he won't copy the plan of a neighbor. One man moves Into a community and makes a big suc cess by treating the soil a certain way or planting a certain amount of seed, and the other ranchers, instead of tak ing their cue, set their chins stubbornly to succeed In their own way; and they go on making failure after failure be cause of this well-established idea that a practical farmer knows best what to do regardless of the modern improve ments made by scientists. Farmers Resent Innovations. He tells of having grain planted in two plots for demonstration purposes at the experiment station; in one 3D pounds to the acre, in the other 60; in the 30-pound section the grain comes up better, more thriftily, and in every way appears far more promising than In the crowded 60-pound plot: he will show this to a g-oup of ranchers, ex plain why the planting of fewer seed brings better results, and plainly show them the better results; and still they will go straight home and plant in the old way. 60 pounds to the acre. However, the experiment stations are harvesting good rerults for Oregon 'right ..ow. for always there are those ready to learn and who become suc cessful ranchers in communities where others fail utterly. In speaking of the college graduates, as a coming farming population to be counted on. he said that they made about one to 600 old-time practical farmers, so that their influ ence, as farmers, would continue slight: but the big value is to use these men to go out la farming districts and teach and organize for better methods. The Oregon Agricultural College graduates for a long time to come, according to Mr. Scudder. will be valuable to the state as apostles of .scientific methods.

Old meth ods will never make a living in this country, much of which will be farmed by dry farming methods, but to the man who understands soils, moisture conservation and choice of crops itis a great opportunity.

WOMEN WIN WAGE VICTORY Munitions AVorkers to Receive Same Pay as Men in Britain. LONDON", Oct. 22. In a statement is sued today, David Lloyd George, Min ister of Munitions, announces that women 18 years old and over engaged in munition work receive a minimum wage of one pound weekly. While do ing skilled work, on time or by piece, women get the same pay as men, the announcement further says. This official recognition of the right of women to receive the same pay as men for the same work is held up as a great victory by suffragettes, who have long' been agitating the ques tion. MR. DIECK'S BUDGET CUT (Continued From First Pace) And thus ended the long-drawn out struggle with the budget of the De partment of Publi? Works. The ma jority of the Council has been charg ing Mr. Dieck for some time with hav ing an overload of employes and has been spurring him in an effort to get him to reduce his budget nimself, but without material avail. The action of the Council soon spread to the employes in Mr. Dieck's depart ment and great uneasiness exists as a result. The cutting means the loss of about $42,000 worth of Jobs during the next year. The 15 per cent cut idea, as oritfi nated by Mr. Baker, may extend into some of the other departments before the budget is finished. At the next meeting, Monday, it is likely the same plan will be proposed for some other departments, including the Water Bu reau and the Purchasing Bureau. The Council yesterday finished with the first round of all the budgets. Adjournment was taken until Mondav at 3 o'clock, at which time the Auditor's office will have compiled figures showing the net results of the prun ing so far. At that time the question of an appropriation of $130,000 for the elimination of O.-W. R. & N. grade crossings will be considered. Early next week sessions with the advisory budget committee will be held. at C. H. Baker Shoes. 270 Morrison, 270 Washington. West Park and Washington. Buffttm & Pendleton glen's Clot!

BURDEN PUT ON DRUGGISTS Sales to Be Limited to Ethyl Al cohol and Sales Will Be Made at Peril of Seller Pharma cists Must File Bonds. - SALEM. Or., Oct. 22. (Special.) With the approach of the first of the year when the new Oregon prohibition law will become operative. District At torneys throughout the state are re ceiving constant inquiries from citizens and organizations as to different pro visions of the new law. Most of these have been referred to Attorney-General Brown, who today completed his re plies to the queries. These have been combined into a single opinion, where in the question asked is given first and the Attorney-General's answer below. The series of questions an danswers, which cover practically every phase of the prohibition law, follows: "1. In' the case of the owner and proprietor of a drug store who is not a druggist but employs a registered pharmacist to sell drugs, and -dispense and compound prescriptions of medical practitioners, who must execute and file the $250 bond provided for In sec tion 2 of chapter 141. General Laws of Oregon of 1815, before alcohol can be lawfully sold at the drug store? Pharmacist Mast Give Bond. "To this question my answer is that the bond must be executed and filed by a registered pharmacist. Section 5, of the prohibition act. provides that it shall be unlawful for any per son to manufacture, sell or barter in toxicating liquor within the state, ex cept as provided for in said actl Sec tion 6 of said act provides that reg istered pharmacists may sell ethyl alcohol for medicinal, pharmaceutical, scientific and mechanical purposes, and for external use and application, only upon complying with the provisions of the act, and that before said pharma cist may eell ethyl alcohol he must file with the County Clerk in the coun ty in which he resides a bond running to the State o Oregon in the sum of $250. The next paragraph of said sec tion provides that the Clerk shall then issue to the pharmacist two books of 50 affidavits each, upon the payment of $2 for approving and filing said bond, and the sum of 50 cents for each book of affidavits. "To my mind it is 'manifest that the bond must be given by the registered pharmacist, where the proprietor of the store is not authorized by the laws of Oregon to practice pharmacy. Case Would Involve Two. "Second If the proprietor In the above" case insists on having a prescrip tion filled prescribing alcohol in the case of the prescription having been written by a physician, who is at the time of writing the prescription a man of intemperate habits or addicted to the use of narcotic drugs, who of the two The Combined Service and Stocks of 26 Leading- Stores Your Command Saturday Nights. ftrWENTY-SIX of Portland's leading;mer chants, named below, are co-operating to make your Saturday night shopping hours convenient, inter esting, advantageous!

"To this question our answer is that under thj law of this state bouth would be guilty of an offet se. The proprie tor who directed the sale and the phar macist who filled the prescription and made the sale are equally .guilty. "See section 2370. Lord's Oregon Laws, which reads as follows: All persons concerned n the commission of a crime, whether it be felony or mis demeanor, and whether tbey directly commit the act constituting the crime, or aid and abet in Its commission, though not present, are principals and to be tried and punished as such. "Said, section has recently been in terpreted by our Supreme Court in the case of the state vs. Geor, 71 Oregon 501. and in many prior cases. Pharmacist Sells) at Peril. "3. If the sale is made upon an affi davit to a person of intemperate habits by a pharmacist who did not know that the. person to whom the sale was made was a person of intemperate habits, would ignorance of such habits be a defense? "To this question our answer is in the negative. The pharmacist sells alcohol at his peril, and if he sells without knowledge of the person's habits, he takes his chances. Ignor ance of such habits is not a lawful de fense, but it is a matter that the court can properly consider in mitigation of the penalty to be infliated. The Ore gon Supreme Court has held in many cases that in purely statutory crimes. unless there is incorporated into the legislation definition of the offense, the element of knowledge on th part of the defendant, the intent with which the act was done is not an ingredient of the offense, and that lack of knowledge on the part of the defendant is not a defense. Llqnor Cannot Be Sold. "4. From and after January 1, 1916. can a registered pharmacist fill a pre scription for intoxicating liquor other than alcohol? "To this question our answer is no. The law plainly provides that the only intoxicating liquor that can be sold by a registered pharmacist is ethyl alcohol for medicinal, pharmaceutical, mechan ical and scientific purposes. "5. Is a prescription stating that the alcohol is required for medicinal use sufficient without any other specifica tions or directions for the use of the alcohol? "This question we answer in the neg ative. The law provides that such pre scription written by the physician must show on its face the purpose for which such alcohel is prescribed. alx tan a physician administer in toxicating liquor to a patient, when the same is actually necessary as a medi cine in the treatment of disease? ' I.lqner May Be Administered. "To this our answer is yes. The law provides that a physician in good standing in his profession and follow ing the practice of medicine as a prin cipal calling, may administer or provide for the administering of any intoxicat ing liquor to his patient when the same is actually necessary as a medicine in the termination of any disease or malady, but nothing in the prohibition act contained shall authorize the sale of such Intoxicating liquor by the physician. "X will add for your information that the prohibition law makes no provi sion for the physician obtaining intoxi cating liquor other than alcohol, except in the last paragraph of section 12 of the said law, which provides 'that any person or family within this state may receive from any common carrier not more than two quarts of spirituous or vinos liquors, nor more than 24 quarts of malt liqurs within a perld f fur successive weeks."

BERLIN WOULD CURB TURKS Ally Not Responsive to Attempt to Stop Atrocities. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Confidential advices received today by the State De partment said the German government officially had made efforts to alleviate alleged atrocities on Armenians in Turkey, but that Turkish officials ap parently displayed lack of interest in such endeavors. Representations were made by the United States through Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantinople some some time ago, warning Turkey that continued persecution of Armenians would alienate the friendship of the American people. A number of dis patches on the subject have been re ceived from Mr. Morgenthau, but there has been no announcement of a deft nlte ansyer from the Ottoman govern- I ment. p yv--ii-juLMfr jpgJAUMii"'! j ' ill I I I I I I 1 1 I l ' .

Who Fathered Measure at Last Session of Con gress. Is iKnored. OREGONIANNEWS BTTTrRAlT, "Wash ington. Oct 22. Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, who. in the last Congress fathered the resolution proposing a suffrage amendment to the Constitu tion, has been dropped by the Congres sional Union and that suffrage organi zation has asked Senator Sutherland, of Utah, to introduce and take charge of its resolution at the coming session of Congress. The Congresional Union believes Senator Chamberlain did not do as much as might have been done to get action on the suffrage resolution at the last Congress, and It therefore has se lected a new leader to direct the fight in the Senate. It is noted that the Union has se lected a Republican, notwithstanding the Senate is Democratic, and in this it has ignored Senator Thomas, of Colorado, chairman of the committee on woman suffrage. This action the Congressional Union will not prevent Senator Cham berlain from again introducing his res olution of the last Congress. I 1 swum It S87 Morrison street.
