The young performers acquitted themselves In a manner that reflected credit on themselves as well as on Miss Clark, their ef ficient instructor. Miss Clark is a sr ltd of St. Paul's Academy at Walla Walla, where she received her diploma lust June. r. B. Hdgar, of Fossil, was a visit or here Thursday night making the round trip of more than 200 miles to be Initiated into the local lodge of ,;Mk8. Mr. Edgar, on leaving Fli msy morning, expressed himself as so 'well phased ..with -the town, the lodge and (he principles enunciated by the order, that he expects to re . turn as frequently as conditions will permit. He Is engaged in the stock business in Wheeler county and la a pioneer of the Pliy creek section. W. H. Herren, organizer and man ager of th( Blue Mountain Fur Farm on upper Willow creek, reports that business is good and he finds a much greater demand for his stoc'k than he can supply. Mr. Herren started in the business in a small way last summer by pur chasing a few pair of thoroughbred rabbits of several breeds of which, perhaps, the Chinchilla rabbit is the mo3t important because' of the value of its fur which it is claimed will soon take the place of the famous Chinchilla fur, the bearer of which is becoming almost extinct. Mr. H.rren started in this breed last summer with one buck and five does and he has already shipped a con siderable number to purchasers in different parts of the country for breeding purposes. He is also rais ing the Flemish and the Giant White breeds, both of which are more prized for their meat than for the fur, although there is a good demand for the latter at satisfactory prices. Some of these animals attain the weight of from 18 to 22 pounds, Mr. Herren says, and the flesh is high ly prized for Its food value. Mr. Herren received an order for 100 rabbits fom his farm a few days ago, which he will fill as soon as the young animals are old enough to ship. He also received an- inquiry in the same mail for young Guinea pigs, with an offer of 50 cents each for the little fellows when one month old in any and all quantities offered. These littlo animals are used exten sively in laboratory work and It Is said the demand ia Increasing faster than the supply. At the price named and in view of the well known pro lific Increase of thjO "pigs" it would seem that there should be a fine profit in the Industry. Mr. Herren tins recently purchased a pair of silver foxes which he will add to his farm sometime during the coming spring. Many marketing plans have been de vised to help the poducer and so far about the only thing all agree upon is that the farmer needs help. The Pendleton meeting should be able to develop something of advantage to all concerned. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4J 4. 4. 4. 4 INCOME TAX IX XUTSHELL 4. WHO?

English faculty will get in bad with Oregon high school stu dents if he doesn't watch out. Last week before the state teachers' asso ciation at the Lincoln highschool he aid Oregon high school graduates know how to dance better than how to talk or write correctly. He said that out of 100 high school graduates taking an English examination at the Oregon Agricul tural college upon their entrance at that institution, 33 gave the past tense of the verb drag as "drug," and also that so many used "bring," and "brang' that he djd not count them.
