Hofer of Salem, editor of the Lariat, a western literary magazine, was at the Normal School Monday and spoke 'to the student body. Mr. Hofer is devoting all of his time to making the Lariat a worth while publication, and all have great confidence in his, ability to succeed in this ambition. The Social Committee of the Facul ty have found it necessary to make the following requirement in regard to living places of women students'. "Students will be permitted to live in houses only where there is careful supervision. Householders or per sons equally responsible and approved by the Dean of Women,, must live in all houses where students are resid ing." The Committee takes this means of getting before the towns people of Monmouth a recent regula tion, adopted in order to safeguard the Normal students living in private households.

Pioneer Sons Visit Seek Political Honors Two visitors at the Herald office Friday were Walter L. Hembree of McMinnville, Democratic candidate for secretary of state and Col. Robert A. Miller, of Portland, Democratic candi date for presidential elector. Mr.! Hembree is a brother of Clark Hem bree, former resident of Monmouth, and a member of one of the pioneer families of the state. Mr. Hembree was a member of the student body of the Oregon Normal at the time P. L. Campbell became president and he likes to recall many incidents of his life as a student in the school. Mr. Miller says he is unrelated to Milton A. Miller, another Democratic war horse and the only way the two ever clash is over the title of Colonel which is the peculiar property of Robert A. Mr. Miller is of pioneer stock and has led the hosts of Democracy in many a gallant charge. He has been a can didate for various offices and has al ways run well because of his wide ac quaintance in the state. He is identi fied with the pioneer association of the state and has frequently been call ed on to be toast master in the annual evening camp fire program.

Fishback and family of Salem were guests of friends here Saturday, j The incense wafted on the evening breeses Monday and Tuesday bespoke a high grade of fertility for the land to which the compost was being ap plied, but many a householder in the city .within the scope of those per sistently scented sephyrs ventured the hope that the next time the land receives its enrichment winds from contrary direction might prevail.

Because, owing to crop failures in other countries Canada, Russia, and Algeria consumption has caught up with production, and not because ox market manipulation, farmers of the United States this year stand to gam by increased prices for their products. This, in substance, was the analysis of the agricultural situation contain ed in a speech delivered at the Ben ton county fair last week in Vintoni Iowa, by James R.' " Howard, of de mons, la., former president of the Am erican Farm Bureau federation. Mr. Howard, who spoke under aus pices ol the Benton county iarm bureau, likened this year, so far as prices of farm products go, to 1879 and 1897, which were short crop year! preceeded by large production. "Both years", he said, "marked the beginning of relatively long terms of higher farm prices and profitable ag riculture. It is not unreasonable to expect that 1924 is the beginning of a similar era." . E. C. Cole concluded a two week's vacation from duties 3 at ; the Miller store and started work again Tues day.
