OREGON SHOULD HAVE A BEE SCHOOL The California College of Agriculture, cooperating with the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture, held an extension school for commercial bee keepers, at Los Angeles, December 5 to 10. It was well attended. The problems developing the greatest interest were dis eases, queen rearing, management, and the relation of bee keeping to commercial fruit raising. , The bee school is to be an annual event in California. ' The Oregon Agricultural College should follow the lead of California. ; There must be more bees here, if the greatest nrowth and success of commercial fruit growing is to be at tained. There can be no certainty of pollination, of most fruits without bees. Cherry blossoms are rot carried by the winds at all. They must be carried by insects. All other fruit blossoms, or nearly all, must depend to a greater or less degree for fertilization upon the aid of bees. We have here in the Salem district potentially the best bee country in' the world. The early honey flow is the best known. : What we need is plenty of bee pasture for the later Iflow, and a better knowledge of the principles of bee keeping, These can be provided. The Oregon Agricultural College au ' thorities' should take . the lead. ' They should 'also establish a drug garden, and in other J ways work more closely with farmers and fruit -.rowers who are building up here great industries and should have all the encouragement it is possible to give them. hemp, too. A reading of the article on the Pep and Progress pages of this morning's Statesman will be conclusive to any one who may have entertained any doubts. The time is com ing when the flax and hemp industries will be among the greatest of all Oregon industries. All the natural conditions are here. That assurance was provided for when this valley emerged out of the Two Islands'- ol the pre-historic period. If the undertakings now under way shall develop as they should, this development will take place while most of us are still alive to see it and Tbenefit from it. .1 BITS FOR BREAKFAST No broccoli meeting today.

"W When city recorders, county judges and justices of the peace make a sincere effort to enlorce the prohibition law, the boore handling gentry will seek ether methods of making a living with out work. That very thing Js happening here, and should go on as long as there is a bootlegger or a moonshiner in this city or section. Respect for the laws is the bulwark of organized society. . The flax industry is a comer. It cannot come too fast for the good of the Salem district and the growth of this city. That indus try alone is capable of supporting a city here five times as large as Salem is now. r u V The paying of the farmers for the flax they grew last ye?.r will help some. S Dehydration's the thing in lood conservation. And growing bigger and more promising every day. . WHEAT FIGURE IS VARIABLE "WANT DEHYDRATED CORN "P. F. Nichols of the U. S. Department of Agriculture stated that the demand for dehydrated corn in California has so far greatly exceeded the supply. He believes that de i hydrated jcorn will soon take its place on the market the same v as dehydrated pumpkin flour, which has already made good with the American housewife." .. - That there is coming rapidly a great extension of the ; services of dehydration, as it is done under the processes of 1 the King's Food Products Company, there is no sort of doubt. This company is constantly experimenting, as is stated in ? the descriptive article on the Pep and Progress pages of this S morning's paper. They some time ago took up. the idea of ' dehydrating corn on the cob, and it proved a great success, v Dehydration is the greatest thing in the world in the ; line of food conservation and dehydration is brought to 1 the highest points of perfection yet known under the patents . and processes of .the King's company. . "j fIt is a most fortunate thing for Salem that the greatest plant of this company is located here, where such a wide va riety of fruits and vegetables is available for dehydration? ? sThis plant is bound to grow steadily and to be continually 1 one of the most powerful aids.in the building up here bf a big city, rivaling Fresno and San Jose and the other big and pros- perous cities of California that are supported by their fruit 4 industries, and where the range of diversity is not nearly as "large as it is in the district of which Salem is the, manufac turing, banking, shipping, educational and commercial center. SEVEN BILLS ARE VETOED BY OLCOTT (Continued from page I.) tionally adopted, the entire bill calling the special election is made invalid. The words left out of the election bill are "House joint resolution. No. 3 providing for an amendment to the consti tution of the state of Oregon providing for an exposition and financing the same." Another Omission Made A portion of the senate amend ment to house bill No. 2 2, which fa part of the exposition legisla tion passed by the special session of the legislature, was omitted in enrolling the original bill. The amendment, which author ized a share of funds raised for exposition purposes to be apor tioned to various counties of the state for exhibit purposes, will be inserted before any court action is started to compel President Rit ner to carry out the wishes to sign the measure. "The omitted amendment fol follows: Said 10 per cent shall be ap portioned among the 'various counties of this state as follows: ' There is no doubt whatever concerning the fact that the Salem district can produce as fine flax for the fiber as can be produced in the best flax growing sections in the world.) like those of Belgium and Ireland.

Mult nomah county being excluded. For the purposes of this proviso the board of county commission ers of any county whose fiscal affairs are managed by such board shall be deemed to be in cluded in the term "county court." The total that would thus be provided for county exhibits at the exposition is $300,000. Multnomah county would pay 33 to 4 0 per cent of the tax which would entitle this county to over $100,000 for an exhibit. With characteristic generosity the Multnomah delegation cut their quota down to $50,000, thus adding over $70,000 to assist the other counties of the state In their exhibits. Flax BlU Signed Seven more bills, six house bills, end one senate bill, passed at the special session of the leg islature were signed yesterday by Governor Olcott. Two of these were important measures. One is house b'U No. 26. introduced by the ways and means commit tee, and providing for an -appropriation of $30,000 to compensate farmers who this year have had flax contracts with the state, but who were unable to receive their money because ot shortage in the flax fund caused mainly by a slump in the market. It declares an emergency. The other important measure is senate bill No. 11, introduced by Staples and Robertson. - pro viding that state banks, if so au thorized by the state superintend ent of banks, ay borrow from the Federal Reserve bank, the War Finance corporation or other gov. ernment agencies, in excess of their paid up capital and surplus. The measure is intended matnly tor the relief of eastern Oregon livestock men in borrowing from their local banks. This measure alro carries the emergency clause. Other Measures Approval Other measures signed yester- aay were: H. B. 9, by Gallagher Mak ing operations under bounty law optional in Malheur and Harney counties, declaring an emergen cy. H. B. 2 0. by joint ways and means committee Appropriating money for certain expenses incur red by circuit judges, corrective to make effective law passed at last previous session. ii. i. a, Dy commission on roads and highways Providing for lights at railroad crossings.

See-Saw Market is Experi ence of Commodity on Board of Trade CLOSE VERY UNSETTLED Changes in Value of Corn and Oats Governed uy Action of Wheat CHICAGO, Dec, 28. It was Fee-saw market in wheat today. Belief that government figures on the 1921 crop would be bearish led to declines, but then the mar ket rallied owing largely to pre dictions that the government re port tomorrow on the 1922 crop would be bullish. The close was unsettled at 1-8 net loss. The majority of wheat traders appeared to be expecting 25,000,- t)0O to 50,000.000 busiitls in crease of the government's 1921 crop estimate. Attention cen tered almost wholly on this fac tor during the first half of the session. As a result, prices showed a general tendency to sag, and it was near midday before dry weather complaints from the southwest were effective in di verting notice chiefly to the chances that there might be a bullish showing tomorrow from Washington on the acreage and condition of next years crop. In fluential buying followed, and the finish although irregular, was at about the day's best prices. Rains delaying the Argentine harvest counted somewhat In favor of the bull3 at the last. Changes in the value of corn and oats were governed in the main by the action of wheat. Bulls in corn were restrained ow ing to the outlook that reducea freight rates would enlarge re ceipts.

Mrs. Kate Mc- Caskle and Mrs. P. T. Risteign were in charge of the affair. The hall was decorated beautifully in the Christmas colors. One of the features making the ball a suc cess was the snowball dance giv en by Mrs. Ralph White and five ot her senior students from Salem. Little Miss Margaret Keene gave a solo dance which was also re ceived with much enthusiasm. The Bungalow orchestra furnish ed the music.

ONE REEL YARNS i A XKy PAIR OF EYES "Florence is such a worrier." sighed her mother. "She looks at the world' threugh dark glas ses. She fusses and stews about little things." 'I've noticed it." said Dr. Wal lace. "Our little daughter seems to be growing up into a regular! storm-cloud. Already she has a discontented pout and a droop ing curve to heir Hps." While they were speaking Flor ence burst into the room. "Oh. dearr" she sighed. "Winifred has measles. And. she's my . best friend. Now she'll bo in for ever so long. I ' do have the worst luck."

She be gan to realize how many beauti ful things there were for any one with "seeing eyes." An "all gone" feeling crept over her when she thought there was a chance that she might not see again. Then one day Dr. Wallace came in and sat down on the bed beside florence. "I'm going' to take the bandage off in the daytime now," he said. "But first I want to ask you something. Wouldn't you like to pretend that these are new eyes you are getting, and that they are eyes that see only the good, lovely things?" Florence was very quiet. He thought she had not heard.

How to Be Healthy The Crusade of the Double Barred Cross Practical Talks on Disease Prevention Prepared 4r the OREGON' TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION (Practically every adult person is infected with tuberculosis. This infection need not be a source of danger. To keep the latent infection from becoming disease, bodily resistance must be kept at its best. This series of articles shows you how to keep healthy.) DC WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS Dr. Lawrason Ilrowm, Saranac Iike. X. Tuberculosis is a disease caused by a germ, discovered by Robert Koch in 1882. which early in its course produces little modules, called tuberccles. It is widely distributed throughout the world, and attacks man more severely when he abandons a nomadic or outdoor life and lives in large centers ot civilization. There are two varieties of the tubercle germ that attack men. the human germ and tht. cattle germ. The cattle germ, while rarely affecting adults, causes an nually the death of about 10.000 children and infants in the United States. It is conveyed by milk, and is killed by Iwiling or pasteurizing the milk. The chief source of the human tubercle germ is the rputuni coughed up by the consumptive and deposited only too otten on sidewalks. The germ gains en trance into the body by inhala tion of the fine droplets of spu tum roughed out. by the consump tive, by the inhalation of dried sputum in the form of dust and by the transference through dirty fingers of the particles ot sputum in the dirt of the streets and bouses, from balls, tops and other playthings, to the mouth. The younger the child, the more readily he la infertt-d and the more often hovmouths the ob jects he soils in the dirt in play. By the age of puberty two-thirds to three-quarters of all children have had the gcj-m In their bod.es. but only a small percentage of these develop the disease. It I? estimated that 2.00.000 persons I in the United tate3 hac tubercu losis today, and without doubt many contracted it first in child hooM. It is not safe, however, to conclude as some would have us do. that adults cannot catch con sumption, for a rather large per centage may owe the disease in their lungs to an infection iu later life. These facts serve to emphasize the importance of good hygienic living, and the avjoidance of over strain of any sort, whether work, pleasure or play. -When man lives in the open he seldom develops pulmonary tuberculosis, but when he changes this for indoor life he may succumb. The boy and girl who play and live much out of doors nave utile tuberculosis un til they become 13 or 14 years old. It then increases as the anxieties of school, the burtin of work. and the overindulgence in pleas ure make more demands on the body, until it Is most frequent be tween the twentieth and thirtieth year, it is then that people are most confined, and most often overwork or overplay. A return to the outdoor life, to the simple pleasures, the avoid ance of self-indulgence in any way may quickly restore a threatened individual to health. It he once developes the disease it can be cured, but it requires time, pa tience anad self-denial. Hest ot body and mind, education in re gard to what is safe and what is dangerous, good food and fresh air are the medicines tiiat rot-tore health. Intelligent medical supervision, freedom from care and worry, confidence in recovery, conscientiousness in carrying out every detail given by the physi cian, work miracles, as thousand can testify who have fallen ill of tuberculosis, but who have fought the good fiht and won out.
