If the co operative effort among the Ameri an farmers fail there will be, in ) 2 judgment of C. E. Spence, state master of the Oregon grange, three possibilities facing the Am erican farmer. These he outlined as follows in the address, which he delivered recently. First, peonage, or the peasant ry of the Middle Ages: second, po litical action and state ownership and operation of the system of distribution; and third, revolu tion." "I do not believe that the Am erican farmer will ever stand to be reduced to peasantry," reads Spence's address which runs the complete gamut of the problems seen to beset the farmer, "al though," he continues, "there is a movement on foot under the direc tion of the federal department of agriculture to colonize European peasants on the farms of this country." The state grange master sees in this colonization plan (wtieh he mentions a scheme to head off the present co-operation movement among the American farmers. Transportation problems, taxa tion, distribution, co-operative marketing and the condition of the state grange are some of the things to be discussed by Mr. Spence before the annual conven tion of the body.

Tuberculosis Survey Will Be Made In Benton A special survey of tuberculo sis conditions in Benton county is being made by the Oregon Tuber- j culosig assoclatton and the Stake Board of Health. Rotert W. Os-1 born, who is conducting the inves-j tigation is in Salem making ar-l rangements for"a free tuberculosis clinic to be held in Corvallis some time this month with Dr. G. C. j. Ballinger, superintendent of thej state tuberculosis hospital, as the examining physician. "Before the clinic is held and' the survey completed a thorough investigation of sanitary condi tions in Corvallis will be made,"! stated Mr. Osborn. "Hotels, net-, urants, meat shops, food handl ing places and rooming houses willj be inspected to see that the health ot the public is properly protected. Too of tea we find tuberculosis pa- nm working in public eating places." "A tragic and pathetic instance of how tuberculosis is communica ted, was related to me by a Benton physician. During bis early prac tice he treated a school teacher for tuberculosis, who insisted on fin ishing th last few days of her term, although carrying a temper ature of 103. In her small school five pupils later developed tuber culosis and four died, one her own brother In one of the hones where a student died, everyone of the family, except the father, died of tuberculosis. Nearly every physl-j cian can tell a similar story of contagion, and still we find the public generally negligent where tuberculosis Is concerned." Mrs. Wallace Strait Schultz, f ormerly the Princess Troubetskoy of Russia, and reputed to be the most beautiful Red Cross nurse in France, has found, it is said, that her marriage was all a mistake and a failure. She is now livipg in San Francisco under an assumed name to establish a residence there in order to bring suit for divorce from her husband, a popular Milwaukee elubman. Wedded bliss with her husband was all a mistake, she says, for after a few weeks of married life, Captain Schultz accused her of having a husband and brought suit for divorce. The former princess claims that Captain Schultz, when he married her, kn ew that her first husband, Cap tain T. Turpin, had been killed in action in France.
