Howell, res ident of Route No. 1, The Dalles, who was killed while employed by the Manchester Lumber Company on July 20th, 1915. Death came to him in attempting to put a belt onto live wheels without stopping the machin ery. The widow being only eighteen years of age has an expectancy period of forty-three years, four months and seventeen days. During the remain der of her life or widowhood she will receive a compensation of $30.00 per month from the State. The Commission directed the State Treasurer to set aside in the Segre gated Accident Fund the sum of $7, 357.77. This amount will be iinest ed in securities, so that the princi pal and compound interest will pay her during her lifetime $15,617.00, if she lives the full period of expect ancy. Should she live longer she will continue to receive $30.00 per month until death, except that in case of marriage, the obligation of the State shall be cancelled by lump payment to her of $300.00. The widow is as sured of this pension, as after it has been set aside for this purpose by this Commission, the law provides that it cannot be appropriated for any oth er purpose. The money Is paid by the State directly to the widow and is not subject to assignment and can not pass from the State Into other hands than hers, through any process of the law or of the courts.

HENRY SCHWARZ, Proprietor Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Auguust 2. Farmers can con tribute much to the development of Improved agriculture by making rec ords of their most successful farm operations. It is altogether likely that if all farm practices in Oregon were as good as the best that has been developed by some farmer, the general level of agriculture would be materially raised. Ey making a de tailed record of the various steps by which the result was secured the farmer would be able to repeat and also to help others. The facts of the record could be published in the home newspaper and if general interest in agricultural papers and the Agricul tural College Press Bulletins. This thought was made vivid by examining a six-year record of ex periments on the Umatilla Experi ment Farm. "This report," explain ed Professor C, I. Lewis, "was pre pared by R. W. Allen, superintendent of the farm. It makes use of the loose leaf system so that records are progressive by inserting a new leaf descriptive of each addition to the ex periment. When the experiments are completed there is an accurate and detailed record of each step with no other matter mixed in with it. A glance will show whether the results were good, and if they were it is easy to repeat them. If not, they may be thrown away." Of course this is more elaborate record-making than is adapted to the farmer's use, but an account of the main steps, such as plowing, fertiliz ing, preparing seed bed, culture, har vesting and marketing or storing and using, would not require much work and would in many cases afford a veritable mine of valuable informa tion. Farmers of Southern Lane County are invited to send in stories of success to the Cottage Grove Senti nel, which will give them wide puhli cation in that part of the state. Doubtless other papers would also give space to stories of success and how it was achieved, since the gen eral welfare of an agricultural com munity depends largely upon the pro gress of agriculture.

Owing to the prevalence of rabies In the immediate vicinity of Heppner the City Council, looking to the wel fare of the people of our town, has ordained that all dogs Khali he muz zled or kept chained up until such time as the City Health Oliicer thinks the danger is past. Therefore the Marshal has been instructed to kill all dogs found running at large with out muzzles within the corporate lim its of the City of Heppner on or after July 25th, 1915. Due notice will be given when this order is annulled. This order will be strictly enforced. People outside the city limits are re quested to keep dogs at home as there will be no exception made.

"This young man married in due course, and the wedding trip Included Santa Barbara, so that the bride might taste this superb honey. But to his dismay no honey appeared on the breakfast table the first morning of their stay. The groom frowned. He called the old familiar waiter ov er to him. . " 'Where's my honey?' he demand ed.
