M. Swanton, manager of the Oregon Humane society, who was the speaker at the luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce today. Mrs. Swanton gave a most entertaining aa well as Instructive address, and that the subject waa of appealing Inter est was proved by the breathless in terest of her auditors. Mrs. Swanton said that th« activi ties of a humane society, such aa las one in Oregon, extended not alone to the brute creation, but that its object was the carrying of klndncsa and care and consideration to every Individual animal or person where the need might be. Numerous In stances of cruelty that occur aimoat under the eye of authority were cited, and familiarity with these caseB often blinded the eye of the public. She made particular note of the fact that every communitv was open field ¿or the work of the society, a branch of which la to be organised in each county. In making a plea for the boys of the state, and of the efforts of the Oregon society to rescue some of them from themselves and from those who should be guiding them in better ways. Mrs. Swanton urged that better results could be obtained if the institution that stands for the reform of bad boys could be away from the environment of the peni tentiary and the other institutions where delinquency and crime are punished. The speaker advocated znch aa institution In some fa’-utiuN community where the boys would not havo crime and debauchery flaunted tn their faces aa It is where they are surrounded by other states institutions of a like nature. Mrs. Swanton will return to Grants Pass In the very near future when she will organise a county branch of the Humane society. At the luncheon today were nu merous visitors who were introduced, and many brief but thoroughly In teresting talks were given in re sponse to their welcome to the city.

CORN WINTER FT'EL Topeka. Kan., Dec. 12.—(I. N. 8.» —“Hiram, bring In another scuttle of corn.’’ doesn’t mean another bumper of corn whiskey, in this part of Kansas this winter. There was a bumper corn crop this fall, and farmers have found them selves with an over supply and a poor market. Many have announced their intentions of burning their corn for fuel thia winter. It's cheaper than coal, the farmers say.
