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.

Professor Sigurd H. Peterson of
the O.A.C. 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.
He declined to place the blame for
the Ignorance of bo many students
after 12 years in grade and high
school, but out-Edisoned Edison in a
caustic remark after his talk that:
"They at least learn to dance in
high achool."
Out of the 160 students, 38 per
cent were able to spell the word
"too." Eleven didn't k"now how to
spell "stopped" or "dragged."
Lists of words wre given and the
students were told to pick out the
adverbs. One student, typical of
others, picked out the following:
Was West, Portland, again, six,
years, Corvalis, city, each, getting,
are, not, long, possession, soon, set
tled, two, might. Globje-Tlmes.
Allison Talks to Klaasmen
"Bearcat" Allison, Wan lecturor,
spoke to a crowd of klansmen and
others Friday night at the Armory
Hall. His address did not develop
any or tne "rough stuff" which he
is reported to have pulled off in some
parts of the state. He spoke chiefly
on immigration, advocating the ex
clusion of European undesirables.
He declared that all moonshiners,
bootleggers and drinkers of booze
should be fired from the klan. He
disclaimed any fight against the
Catholics except the Pope.
He also took occasion to pay his
"respects to the newspapers the
Oregonian, the Telegram and anoth
er one "near enough to spit on
the "Glob-Crimes." He was par
ticularly hostile to the "lying Tele
gram" and "The Globe-Crimes." I

Sam had passed through a harrow
