STUDENTS GOOD The moral character and clean life of the students at the Uni versity of Oregon was vindicated last week in the circuit court at Eugene, when James Fullerton was convicted for circulating a report that “ immorality was rife” at the University. The University revealed its entire dis ciplinary record since 1872, and also proved from army statistics that not a single Oregon man gave signs of any venereal affec tion when subjected to the mi croscopic tests at the S. A. T. C. examinations, and that there had not been a single request for pro phylactic treatment. E v e r y thing Fullerton said was proved to be founded on mere rumor and hearsay. The jury convicted the aged defendant on the first bal lot. Council Meeting.

I E stacada , O regon , T hursday , M arch 13, 1919 A Remarkable Poultry Record Miss Ida M. Schrepel has given us the following interesting data concerning the record of a flock of hens at her home. It num bers thirty-one hens which were hatched last April 4th, and began laying September 9th. F o r September and October they averaged six eggs a day, which was increased to a dozen eggs for November. In December there was yet another increase to fifteen eggs a day, and for January and February this mount ed up to one and a half dozen a day. If this record is maintain ed by April when these hens will be a year old, they will have brought in an income of $50, while they themselves are worth at least a dollar apiece. These hens were bought-as day old chicks for fifteen cents each. They came from Corvallis and are cf the White Leghorn strain. They have had good but not fancy care, and even were neglected occasionally when there was a new baby in the house. Wedding Bells At the White Temple, Port land, by the pastor the Rev.
