We have had in prolusion Masters of Arts, Masters of Science and the like. But recently a new degree is being conferred, but not in formal ceremonies with the recipients in scholastic garb, but as a simple recognition of practical merit in one o f the world’s basic activities. It is that of Master Farmer. During the past year this degree, or title, has been conferred upon successful farmers selected by agricultural journals in 17 states, the qualifications for the honor being stated as follows: “ Those who have maintained and improved the fer tility of their farms through crop rotation, fertilization and the production of livestock; used labor saving equip ment; modernized their homes by installing electric lights running water and other conveniences.” It is a good idea worth developing until all outstand ing farmers in the country have been awarded this recog- ni ion. In no line of effort is there so great a need for pi tctical leadership as in agriculture. The degree of Master Farmer, if worthily bestowed, will give a certain di jnity to the important vocation of farming, and will point out those who receive it as conspicuous examples for emulation. ----------- oOo----------- Girls of Eastern Clackamas county have an easy way of testing the temperament of their “ sweetie.” If he can drive over the average country road of this section with out swearing, as a husband he will never become peeved because of a little thing like burned biscuits, a late dinner, or anything of that order. ----------- oOo----------- That fellow who killed another for reading movie K.b-titles aloud will hardly be able to make a convincing insanity plea, but may get o ff on the ground o f justifiable homicide. ----------- oOo----------- At the time of going to press, the rumor that Rupert Hughe's next biography whitewashing Benedict Arnold would be on the market in the spring could not be con firmed.— Kansas City Star. ----------- oOo----------- Wonder what candidate in 1!*2S the gossipers are going to credit with having made that ancient and moldy remark that a “ dollai a day and a pot of beans is enough • for any working man?” ----------- oOo----------- The most, talked of man in th*> world today has irtiout« thé lèàst lb Say. Clifton spent the week end with rel atives in Portland. Grant Test was a diner guest at the Conner home Sunday. The P. T.
