Birds Wanted
During the past week the foot
ball people have been exceeding,
ly upper class and exclusive.
AJtiiieir practice has been done
in secret and "mum" has been
the word on all things connect
ed, .with, football. It has been
simply impossible to find but
what has been going on but peo
ple are glad for it begins to look
like real war and everybody's
confidence is becoming stronger
as the operations proceed and the
great day approaches. An amus
ing incident in conntcuon with
the secret operations was the at
tempt on the part of Professor
Chas. Johnson, one of the col-
ege athletic committee to gain
entrance, tie was on his way
home and wanted to take a short
cut through the football grounds.
Guards were stationed at each
gate and patrolling on the ontsidc
as though it were a Russian ma
gazine and some Jap wanted to
touch it off, The Professor after
appealing at each gate for admis
sion and being relused, attempt
ed to climb the high board fence.
tie succeeded in gettmg on top
when a courageous oorporal seiz
ed him by the foot and held on
for dear life much to Mr. John
son's discomfort. The boys on
the inside seeing the predicament
into which their best friend had
alien came quickly to his rescue
and received him on the inside.
t now promises to be a wet and
sloppy day butno worse than ay ear

ever played in this valley.

. Prof t ssor Shaw of the Oregon
Agricultural College has, sent an
interesting display of birds to the
National Grange which is in ses
sion at Portland this week. , The
birds were all of the weed-seed
destroying species. Each one is
carefully mounted and each one
has a case by itself. There are
a dozen birds in this display
which is only a small part of the
large number- belonging to the
species.' In the craw ' of one of
the birds there were found 1400
seeds of noxious weeds. The
purpose of- the displav is to edu
cate the farmers on the value of
th;se birds and prevent if possi
ble the destruction going on.
Professor Shaw is now and has
been for the past year and a half
preparing an exhibit of mounted
birds for the Lewis and Clark
Fair. He has nearly 150 speci
mens so far and will secure as
many more as possible. He is
making an effort to produce a dis
play as complete as possible but
has had many difficulties to sur
mount in securing suitable birds,
His collection at the present time
is composed largely of small birds
and he desires the assistance of
people everywhere in the state in
securing specimens of the larger
birds. He desires right now to
secure wild geese, ducks, brant,
eagles and large owls. Professor
Shaw will gladly go after these
specimens it he knows or if some
one will tell him where they are.
The college will bear all expense
in shipping, etc. and desires very
much that an interest be created
along this line. " The entire col.
lection when completed will be
sent to the Lewis and Clark Fair
and after that event will be
brought back to Corvallis and
placed in the Agricultural Hall
at the college as a permanent
museum.
The specimens already mount
ed by Protessor Unaware very
fine and he is sparing no pains to
make his work as complete and
successful as possible.
Have tht rnstv old suit of vonre
made new again. Jack and Bob
will dye it for von and it will last
for years. Don't throw it away
