V Groundwork Basis Established for Constructive Efforts In Various Industries 14 different Tractors Still In Use. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Corvallis. Jan. 6. (Special.) The most successful farmers' and homemakers' week ever held at the Oregon Agri cultural College closed tonight, after practically ever phase of Industry of direct interest to the farmer or house wife of the state had been treated by specialists in their respective lines through lectures, demonstrations and conventions. In reviewing the work of the week. Professor Hetzel, head of the extension service of the college, said: 1 d Meve that this is the most successful Farmers' week we have had at the in stitution. My opinion is based on two considerations. First, the total reg istration of 1717. aside from the fact that it shows an increase of 227 over last year's enrollment, represents an attendance of approximately 500 or 600 more people from points distant from Corvallis than in former years, which enables the department to extend its information over a larger portion of the state. "Second, we have succeeded in se curine from our conferences here a good constructive basis for future work. Those who have attended have entered into the work of the confer ences with a complete understanding, and after thorough discussion have closed with definite plans for future work. Work's Benefits Recounted. "I feel that the work of this week's conferences and conventions is going to have an important bearing on pres ent-day state issues. It will enable the farmers to get at the scheme of things which are logical and well planned. The week has assisted many people to be in a position where they can become leaders in advancing the work in their respective lines. "Recognition should also be given to the complete co-operation of all mem bers of the college faculty, and to the heads of departments, upon whom the responsibility of handling the week's work has devolved." Prominent among the gatherings held today was a fruit marketing con vention. Problems or marketing con fronting fruitgrowers of the North west were discussed, and special em phasis was laid upon the necessity for standardization and organization of the industry along the lines of an ef ficient corporation. To ehow the steps which are being taken in that dlrec- tion, Paul H. Weyrauch, of the North west Fruit Growers' Agency, Walla Walla, gave a general description of the workings of that organization. Professor Lewis, of the college, who has Just returned from the East, where he made an exhaustive study of mar keting conditions in the larger cities, told of his observations and made com parisons between the physical condi tions of Eastern and Western fruits in their markets. "Although Northwestern fruits shewed superiority in physical condition." said Professor Lewis, "there was a decided lack of uniformity in the size. We must adjust economy, cheap moving and quick moving; and at the same time maintain the quality of our fruit. As a means of securing unity and greater co-operation among growers of the Northwest, we should have Federal inspection of fruits. Efficiency and etandardization could then be acconv plished." The course in gas engines and tract ors, which opened yesterday, will con tinue during all of next week. For this purpose the college has secured 14 different types of farm tractors; from firms in the northwest and is using them for exhibition -and demonstration purposes. The annual Winter short course, which will begin Monday and continue four weeks, will carry out the same work which the farmers' week has been offering, but in a more complete form.

Al though the inauguration of a President for a second term is usually not as lavish an affair as the inauguration of a first-termer. President Wilson's inaugural reception will draw an immense crowd from all over the country, and the women will play an all-impor tant part.

Provision Made for Structures In I Small Towns, Where Upkeep Will Far Exceed Present Rent. South Highly Favored. m OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 6. Widely aroused public sentiment against "pork barrel" legis lation is expected to prevent the enact ment this Winter of the omnibus pub lic building bill. It will not prevent the passage of this bill through the House, but probably will hold it up in the Senate, and if not -there, at the White House. Sentiment against the squandering of millions, especially at a time when a deficit Is piling up in the Treasury and further taxes are becoming more and more certain, has s-nread throughout the country. Never did the term Vbork barrel' more appropriately apply to any bill before Congress than It Applies today to the $36,000,000 public building bilL River and harbor bills have been so stvled. and have deserved the name but to no such degree as this public building bill, which is, by the official tests, declared to be 80 per cent "pork. BOS Cltle Are Provided For. In all 508 cities and towns are pro vided with public buildings, sites and buildings or buildings on sites here tofore acquired, irr the pending public building bill. Should this bill pass the Senate, it would of course be swelled by the addition of many new Items by the Senate committee, and there would be few If any eliminations from the House bill. . . - - , The pending bill - makes appropria tion or authorization of buildings in 116 towns whose postal receipts are less than $10,000- a year; it provides for buildings in 250 towns having less than 6000 population, according to the last census, and it provides for build ings or building sites (which mean buildings ultimately) in 64 towns which have less than 2000 population. As in the case of the river and har bor bill, the bulk of the public build ing "pork" is credlteed to Southern states. The chairman of the publlo buildings committee. Mr. Clark, hails from Florida: so does Representative Sparkman. chairman of the river" and harbot committee. Florida Is quite as liberaly provided vwlth pork In the one bill as in the other. Enormous Expense Involved. It is by the application of the busl ness test that 80 per cent of the items In the public building bill are found to be "pork." The Public Building Com mission collected extensive data on the cost of maintaining public buildings and found, for instance, that the aver age annual cost of caring for buildings which cost $75,000 each was $2320 while the service for buildings costing $50,000 averaged $1815 annually. This takes no account of Interest on the money invested. Computing Interest at 3 per cent, the $75,000 building would cost $4570 a year and the $50,000 build ing $3315 The commission further found that the highest rental paid by the Govern ment for postofflce quarters was $2580 a year and the rentals ranged down as low as $151. At 378 offices for which buildings are proposed to be provided the rental is less than $1000 a year. Out of 4320 offices on which statistics were gathered the average annual rental was $824. Cost to Government Increased. This means that it now costs the Government, on an average, $824 a year to rent offices which are proposed to be replaced with buildings which will cost, every year, $3315, If the buildings Is to be a $50,000 structure, or $4570 per annum if it cost $75,000, The towns for which sites alone are proposed are: Appro priation .$ 8. 000 . 6.000 6,000 W-f: f,4 i' -.-V ..

A man with g Ji'i'L How Publicity Helped Mrs. Thomas to Health Doctor Had Decreed Operation When She Read of Mrs. Dunlap's Experience. Some time ago Mrs. R. C. Dunlap, of DeKalb, Mo., wrote to the St. Joseph. Mo.. News-Press telling how, after vears of suffering with stomach trou ble, she had been relieved of a quantity of gall stones and restored to health throuKh using Kruitola and Traxo. This letter was published and read by Mrs. Georgia Coe Thomas, of ijinraster, Mo., who had been told by her docto-, after months of treatment for similar trouble, that nothing but an operation would save her. Mrs. Thomas obtained Kruitola and Traxo from the drugstore. and says: "By the time I had taken a month's treatment 1 felt like a new woman; the first dose of Frultola brought a large number of gall stones and I am certain Kruitola and Traxo saved my life' Fruitola and Traxo are compounded from the original Edsall formulas at the Plnus laboratories in Montlcello. 111., and can be purchased in drugstores: a doc tor's prescription Is not necessary. Fruitola Is a pure fruit oil that acts as an in testinal lubricant and disintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, rundown system. , . . , .
