MU SEASON OF ORATORY AND DEBATE NEAR' " 1 I I - W SW 1 WASHINGTON HOUSE S HE RECEIVES NO HELP Work With Rom) Has Been Particular, ly WoadttfaJ Works by Himself. .Brooks, Or., Feb. 20. Rev. Father George Schoener, who cam here from a large church In Pittsburg, Fa., that he iiiielit better work along lines of scientific plant development, has already accomplished some truly remarkable restiltn, and at the same time has taken care of hi parish, which is some miles in extent. Crossing the Oregon wild blackberry and the Cuthbert raspberry, he has .produced a fruit which he called the Willamette berry.' The canes are much longer than those of the loganberry, .which it resembles somewhat in ap j;caraii -, and the lcves are large, fcilken in texture arid heart shaped. The flower is double, and resembles a white rose, and when grown over a trellis, would nerve aH an attractive climber, even if it had no other virtues. If chief claim lies in thJ peculiar, pleasant vanilla flavor of the berry, which is more sweet than the logan and equal to !t in size, but round in stead of long. In color it is a dark brown, also a distinct color in fruit. . Another fruit in the process of mak ing is tn edible roaeberry. which makes a delicious Jelly,' and a third creation in the fruit line is a peach prune, excellent for drying, with the good pointa of both Its parents re gained. But It Is with flowers that Father Schoener has "made the most note worthy success. His garden consists of 1&.000 roses, whose pedigree he has studied hack aH far as possible, and during the summer Just closed his experiments covered o400 specimens. To see him on a summer morning at work transferring pollen from one plant to another, tying a paper bag over the seed pod and making a few entrits lr a book, seems iike making -new varieties, ''while you wait," but this if. Just a simple step, for before he applies this process he has first mastered the pedigree of both parents, their traits an, characteristics, and the probable outcome of such a union. After a few months the s,eed pod is plucked, and the seeds planted in a specially prepared bed, whtre they lie one year or more before appearing above ground. When they have grown some good, str- ng leaf buds, they -ire grafted upon the native sweet briar or sc m other wild specimen selected by tatlier Schoener. and the task is com plete, some thre or four years being required in the process of making a nw rc-Fe. Among tiio most showy of the roses is that of . '."uroline Testout, buddd -mi a'ii Oregon sweet briar, which stands -0 feo.t ' i.i height. ' a veritable rose tii-o. with a blossom measuring eight inches j-cross. Am'ther brilllanfcreaticn, exhibited for tli.- first tini" a.t the 1914 rose show in Portland, was a blend of the Gruss au Tcpiitz and the La France, and christened the .iesse Currie, in honor oi one of the officials of the Festival association and a rosarian. Thcs are only a few of the wonder ful tl.ins Fathei Schoener has done ftt Brooks, where facilities are lacking to assist him in his work. He has in sufficient ground for so large an un dertaking, iiis water supply consists of what he can pump and carry by the bucketful, and the task of caring for these thousands of roses falls upon him alona, while the money to pur-chas- roses for experiment comes out of his own pocket. VANCOUVER, WASH. Vancouver, Wash., Feb. 20. The Wayfarers' Inn, which was opened here last November and which at tracted considerable attention through out the Pacific northwest as being the only institution which furnished meals ' and lodging gratis to those who were out of employment, will close March -1. according to an an nouncement made yesterday. For a time after the institution opened' It was crowded, and, owing to the fact that there was no work for those be ing cared for, the institution lost money. After donation of a part of the old trestle near the Northern Pacific dock, the men were worked an. hour for-each meal and two hours for their lodging. The wood cut in this man ner was eold and a profit resulted. Between November 23, the da- on which the institution opened, and Feb ruary 1. a total of 11,780 meals was furnished. .The matter of securing an agricul tural agent for Clarke county was dis cussed at some length before the board of county commisloners, but the petition was denied. Professor I. D. Cardiff of the state college at Pull man, spoke to the members of the board and outlined the duties of such DARKEN GRAY HAIR, LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY .Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur darkens so, naturally that nobody can tell. Almost everyone knows, that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and "stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking ; at any drug store for Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will gt a large bottle of . this famous old recipe, for about 50 cents. . -, Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray ' hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv ' h ll p z&? ; L 1 One of the Testout-Sweet Brier an agent, and cited tha numerous benefits to be derived. The fact that there Is already a great deal of ex pense in conducting the county gov ernment was given as the reason why the project was turned down.

The enormous toll of hog cholera, reaching $65.OQ0,O0O in one year, is so alarming that the government's field agents, working in -harmony with the state ag ricultural college, are especially active in combating the disease the country over. Dr. J. E. woson, veierinary fleld agent of the federal bureau of animal, industry, who Is conducting the fight here against the hog disease, de clares that the hog has been neglected, despite the fact that the hog has brightened more homes, put more car pets on the 'floors, more music into the parlor and turned the faces of more boys and girls toward the colleges than any other one factor In our entire econ omic fabric. According to Dr. Gibson, 90 per cent of all the losses in hog raising Is caused by cholera. The country is now passing through the third serious epi demic in 80 years, and the control and eradication of the disease la one of the larger questions confronting American farmers today.
