HEPPNER, ORE.
Unfamilianty with the issues
to be voted on at the special re
ferendum election of November
4, has been found quite general
throughout Oregon. Some voters
have an understanding of one,
some of two or three of the issues,
but few of the entire group. The
five issues are as follows :
Shall an appropriation of $100,
000.00, made by the 1913 Legis
lature, to construct and equip
an administration ana class
room building for the University
of Oregon and to extend the heat
ing plant through it, be permit
ted to stand ?
Shall an appropriation of $75,
000.00, made by the 1813 Legis
lature,, for additions and repairs
to three University of Oregon
buildings and to the University's
central heating plant, be permit
ted to stand ?
Shall the Sterilization Act,
passed by the 1913 Legislature,
to protect the public from habit
ual criminals and moral degener
ates be permitted to stand ?
Shall the act of the 1913 Legis
lature providing a county attorn
ey for each county and fixing
salaries, stand ?
Shall the Workmen's Compen
sation Act stand ?
Chief interest appears to center
around the fate of the two Uni
versity appropriations and that
of the Compensation Act. Be
lievers in education throughout
the state are aroused over this
latest attack upon the Universi
ty's progress. They state the
case in part as follows :
No new building has been
erected at the University for six
years, during which period at
tendance has doubled. As far
back as 1910 instruction was be
ing given under extreme difficul
ties. The 1911 Legislature came
to the rescue by appropriating
money for two new buildings.
Personal enemies of the Univer
sity resorted to the referendum
and no buildings could be erected.
It then became necessary to be
gin holding classes in basements,
in hallways and in temporary
keep out wind and rain. .
Tne 1913 Legislature attempt
ed a second rescue. It appro
priated funds for one new struc
ture, but added in a second bill
$75,000 for repairs and additions
as follows : To the library build
ing, $30,000; engineering. build
ing, 815,000; DeadyHall, $10,000;
men's dormitory, $10,000; heat
ing plant, $10,000.
Again the referendum has been
invoked, and again x the Univer
sity is put under the utmost
strain to handle the incoming
students, who this fall will prob
ably number 850 in the colleges
of liberal arts and engineering
alone. The $175,000 is available
at the state treasury, and con
struction of the one building and
repairs and additions to the others
will be begun at once if the voters
uphold the two appropriations.
To uphold the appropriations will
enable the University to accom
plish its work more satisfactorily
until the millage bill takes effect
and removes both University of
Oregon and Oregon Agricultural
College from politics.

MUSIC AND SEXUAL
MORALITY.
Calvin S. White, M. I).
The decadence of our times in
music, as illustrated in our popu-
ar songs in the last three-quar
ters of a century, is certainly
apalling. The songs of 75 years
ago, "Old Tom Moore," "Believe
Me," "Annie Laurie," "Bonnie
Sweet Bessie'? and "The Last
lose of Summer," were largely
supplanted at the time of the
Civil War by popular songs set
to martial tunes and were sung
by all a generation ago. How
ever as time decimated the ranks
of those who had served in the
army and as the sweethearts of
the soldiers became the grand
mothers of the present genera
tion, these songs were largely
uyplanted by light sentimental
songs, such as "Ben Bolt" and
"White Wings," and we all gave
a shudder when ."Pretty Annie
Rooney," together with "Sally
in Our Alley," swept over the
country like wild fire. It was
said that we were degenerating
in our tastes, but now the worst
of the cheap and tawdry senti
mental songs of ten years ago are
nothing compared to the abomin
able, demoralizing and almost
obscene songs of the present day,
ground out from photographs,
bellowed in vaudeville, shouted
on excursions and whistled by
newsboys.
Our music stores and song
shops fill their windows with
popular songs, the vileness of
the title page only equalled by
the disgraceful chorus on the in
side. "Everybody's Doing It"
probably .was to try out public
opinion. Evidently public opin
ion approved of it, for it was fol
lowed by "Mabel, How Do You
Manage to Do It on $12a Week?"
"Everybody Loves a Chicken,"
and so on, ad nauseam. What
sort of education in chivalry is
this? Who is Mabel? Who are
the chickens? The vile pictures
of lecherous old reprobates, leer
ing at the pretty-faced and trim
gowned young women on the
title page of a so-called popular
song displayed all over the land
is not an encouraging sign of
progress in the campaign against
a double standard of morality.
BREEDING FOR BIG EGGS.

eager to Stock up while the price weak, seconds aud firsts, and firsts are
is within reason. So far, Amer
ican buyers are making little
effort to buy, although it is known
that many of them have contract
ed hops to the brewers at prices
considerably below the present
market. Oregon's crop is proba
bly the best of any hop growing
section in the world, and as it is
conceded that the total world
crop for this year will fall many
millions of pounds below the
average annual consumption, the
only worry of the Oregon farmer
is that he may be induced to sell
too soon. It is freely predicted
that the price will go above 30
cents within the next few weeks.
At the second juvenile fair re
cently held at Wilsoiiville, Ore,
a nine-year-oid ooy carried ott a
total of 31 prizes, winning first
on practically all lines of fruits
and vegetables, and also took
first money in the chicken display.
Among the other items shown by
this youthful farmer was a box
of 142 pounds of American Won
der potatoes, the product of one
lone spud.
also divided Into ordinary and extras,
the latter being the bon ton big egg
which commands the big price and
which every fancier should strive to
produce.
Most flocks have bens that lay eggs
from eighteen ounces up.
We show here eggs that weigh four
ounces each, laid on successive days by
one of our big egg layers.
Think of eggs three pounds to the
dozen! These are not double yolks, but

'There are hens that lay little eggs,
hens that lay medium and hens that
lay big eggs, and the only way to get
a flock that lays the big eggs Is to breed

Such hens should be bred to a male

No; it's not in the name either.
Minorca fanciers claim Minorcas lay
the largest eggs, and Light Brahma

KURIOS FROM KORRESPON DENTS
Q. I note in a recent "Kurlos" you
state you saw a hen that laid when
her abdomen was so full of tumors
that her oviduct and intestines could no
longer perform their functions. Can a
hen lay without an oviduct? A. No.
The printer failed to get our correction
of proof in time to Insert the word gia-
zard for oviduct; thus the mistake.. In
same column 00 per cent of an egg la
water should read 65 per cent.
Q. I hare used your gasoline-carbolic
louse powder on my fowls with success
and am wondering if you haven't some
thing as effectual for the green lice
that kill my rosebushes. A. Simply
dissolve half a five cent cake of com
mon store washing soap in two gal
lons of water, place in this a teaspoon
ful of kerosene and spray the bush,
thoroughly. One thorough application
will be found sufficient
Q. How many varieties of Wyan
dottes does the new Standard of Per
fection contain. Please name. A. Sil
ver, Golden, White, Buff, Black, Par
tridge, Silver Penciled, Columbian. j
Q. What should one do for that large
swelling that appears on the sole of n
chicken's foot? I have a large Brahma
cock bird with the trouble. Is it con
tagious? A. Your fowl has bumble-;
foot. Not contagious, but from a
bruise, perhaps in your bird's case
from jumping down from too high a
roost Simply cut deep across swell
ing, squeeze out pus, paint with car
bolic acid or some other antiseptic,
bandage and keep fowl on straw floor
until it recovers.
Q. I have a-very fine Minorca cock
erel and think of showing him, but I
notice one of bis feet has webs a great
deal like a duck's. If he is about per
fect In all other sections would not his
other good qualities overbalance this
defect so that the judge would just cut
him slightly? How about breeding
him? A. No. He would be debarred
from competition. Don't breed from
him.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
One way to get ducks off their feed
is to get them excited. A dog or a
boy chasing the flock can so disturb a
flock of market ducks as to put them
out of condition. Same way in tne
laying house. A disturbance that puts
the hens on nerve knocks the egg
record.
Some one says, "The best way to
tell whether an egg contains a rooster
or a nen is to naten tne egg umier a
hen and watch the chick for a year.
and if it crows it's a rooster, and if it
lays eggs it's a hen."
It is occasionally the case that a
breeding pen contains hens that are
not popular with the male or which
give him the cold shoulder. A testing
of the eggs will show some of the eggs
infertile, and they may be easily traced.
Such hens should be mated to another
male, as it is seldom they become rec
onciled to tne neau or me uaiem u iuo
male makes up with them.
When the American Poultry associa
tion met at Nashville, Tenn.. most
restaurants put on lots of chlrkeu frills,
aud chicken soup, chicken salad, t nick
en sandwich and stuffed eggs were on
about every bill of fare. The mem
bers felt like the boy who said U tho
friend Tvho entertained him: "LXmt
want none of that. Got plenty of that
at home."
The Single Comb Brown Leghorn
seems to be dropping out of sight, very
few being seen at shows, and one sel
dom sees a flock of them. One reason
for this is because show requirements
.. . . . j. , t ...i,,..
are sucn tnai me riuicumus umimo
mating system must be resorted to to
get birds to win. This unnatural
method applied to Barred Kocks nas
also retired them from the head of the
procession.
A way to interest that boy and to
keep him busy and happy is to give
him an interest in the flock, whether
chickens, turkeys, ducks or geese.
Make him a member of the firm, give
him part of the profit arid wat h him
ret biisv. Busv bovs. with work that
gives them a sense of proprietorship
and a chance to make money, are not
among our dime novel readers nor as
sociates of the bad boys of the strc:3.
A fancier was recently tried at W11
linmsport. Ta., for shootinn an l klllmsf
a chicken thief. The jury brought in
a verdict of not guilty after five miiv
utes' delilieration. Judges in Pennsyl
vania are cettinir away from the idea
that stealing a horse and a hh ken
does not show the same moral turpi
tude, ami juri.'s no longer consider
chicken stealing a laughing matter.
