MORAL CLEANLINESS
OFU. 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.

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.

Jacobs, and marched up the aisle
to the strains of the wedding
march. She was met at the al
