Attention Is called also to the dancer of feeding offal from shuitUered animals to mine, as such a practice is another source of infection. Henry Gaines Hawn of San Fran cisco, an authority on commui ty build ing. is one of several speakers now touring the state in connection wit!! the expansion movement of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce. The State Chamber is making I state wide appeal for a budget of $450, 000, covering a period of three years, to carry on lta development work. The movement has been endorsed by more than two hundred leading men throughout Oregon. Eighty community executive committees have been organ lied to co-operate with the State Cham ber in the canvass throughout the state which will be conducted during Jun and July.

The unique collection of Chinese works of art made by the late LI Hung Chang, one-time viceroy of China which for years collectors tried vainly to acquire, has finally been bought by a Swedish syndicate. The purchase price Is understood to have been more than a million krone (nominally about iSSO.OOO). but the intrinsic value of the collection Is Incalculable. LI Hung Chang died in 1001. He had a collection of works of art larg er than anything of Its kind In the empire. It included numerous old paintings, bronzes- of great worth and ancient ceramics. The bronzes date from a time before Christ, and the paintings were done from the tenth to the twelfth centuries.

Armenia, as well as tin-ece. had a Homer. I.Ike Homer. Moses of Khnrene. who wrote in the seventh entnry. was held to be dealing alto gethcr with tradition until archaeolog ical discoveries revealed tire fact that some of his personages were historic, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Seiniraniis, the queen who built ti e city of Van. much as Homer describes I'ido building the city of Carnage, has been found in the rec ords of the past; hut the civilization of her day was overthrown by Cyrus and his successors, and the land be came Armenia, and entered upon a period of about a thousand years when general Illiteracy obtained among the population. Concerning this period practically no record sur vives. Not until the fourth century did the land, now influenced by Chris tlan'ty. begin to tind self-expression ; so It is hardly strange that wl at Moses of Khorene wrote was long hid Ui h who!'; of li s Imagination. FARMERS' EXCHANGES DISTRIBUTE STOCK Radium Economy. The use of radium on a large scale th rapeutlcnHy Involves danger of l.,ss, and 'Ills factor has been a big one In Inducing hospitals aim clinics with n gram or more of Hi element In use to utilize radium emanation In stead of applicators containing the radium Itself. There has been In stalled In a Pittsburgh laboratory an elegant and useful apparatus for the collection, purification and tubing of radium emanation obtains! from a salt of the e'ement. It differs from nriier apparatus In that llrpi'd air is replaced by chemical means of puri fying the-emanatlons. which are felt to be more reliable. Scientific American Omar Was Right. Waste not your hour especial'y wit. u any employer will give you a dollar for it CO-OPERATJVE BIAING SAVES What does Oregon needT What if It were possible to nun the chief factor does it moat need In order to develop with a maximum of success ' The question Is Impossible to answer. There Is no "chief factor." The solu tion UeB not In one particular need, bu'. many. Oregon today, facing an era of de velopment unparalleled In Its history, must fill these needs if it expects to go ahead. Of the many facers that must be employed if the stale is to progress immigration and colonization, stand pre-eminent In order to solve the vital problem of land settlement. Irrigation, reclamation of land and drainage must be developed as another method of bringing about the solution of this problem. Farm labor must be brought in. Homeseckers who in turn become food producers, milst be en couraged and made to see the possi bilities that await them in the great northwest. Good roads must be built. As the vast tracts of wilderness with thejr billions cf feet of timber are concerted into lumtxr. highways must be pro vided over which commerce can be carrhd and the scenic beauties of the State view id by the tourist. Among other needs are Industrial ei pansion, railroad extension and water power development. Advertising and publicity must be carried 'on if Oregon is to be made known as a country for the honieseek er where Opportunity beckons. Its scenic beauties must be advertised to attract the stream of golden dollars from tourists and pleasure seekers. Other stales, most of them with fewer advantages to attract, are realizing mil lions each year from tourists because they realize the value of advertising und making public what advantages thi y possess. Oregon must develop its water transportation, its mineral lakes, iti ports and reach out ror roreign traue and it must develop the state to pro duce the exports which are to go down to the sea in ships. It must expand its educational facilities as an addi tional advantage to hold out to the homeseeker with children to educate. The Oregon State Chamber of Com merce is the most logical agency to carry on this development work simply because a state organization of this nature can work for the mutual good of all communities in the state with out favoring any particular one.

Breeder Given Opportunity of Secur ing Purebred Sires County Agrl. cultural Agent Renders Val uable Assistance. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) A system of county fanners' ex changes In live stock, feed and seed has been developed In Iowa during the pant year, forces of the state agricul tural college and of the United States department of agriculture working in co-operution. One of the prihicipul ac tivities of the exchange is in the dis tribution of purebred live stock. The breeders, send a list of the animals they have for sale to the ofllce of the county agricultural agent He makes np lists of these animals and distrib utes them throughout the county, fre juently advertising in the local pa pers. If any uniinuls are not disposed it In the county, a list of them is sent lo the extension department of the Uate agricultural college, where lists are made up for the entire state and ent to every county and to adjoining tates. In this way many farmers who otherwise would not have the oppor tunity of locating purebred sires are stile to get exactly what they want Through the exchanges many curbada sf purebred stock have been Bold to ouyers from other states. Instance Cited In Action of Florida Farmers Clubbing Together to Buy Poison. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) An instance of the value of co-oper-tive buying is found In the recent ac tion of a group of farmers in Orange ennntv Florida, who combined their orders for carbon hisulptild and placed them through their county agent. Ihe purchase totaled 1,000 pounds and the material was secured at a saving of 38 cents a pound under the price that would have been charged lor individ ual purchases In small quantities, so that the deal represented a saving of $380 to these farmers. This carbon blsulphid will be used In fumigating the corn to kill corn weevils. Losses from this source sometimes are as much as 20 per cent. The farmers who are clannlng to fumigate their corn either have remodeled their old cribs to make them airtight or haye built new ones. Poor seed means a poor crop, Dry straw makes satisfactory bed ding. Feed never was so valuabl eave it now! Farmers should sow the usual acre age of wheat. Too many fence corners serve as "sheds" for our valuable farm tools. It matters very little how much land one farms, provided be farms well what he has.

In the world. Now It is the richest. Tourist travel did It. Main and Colorado each re ceive $50,000,000 per year from their tourists; Florida gets $230, 000,000; California, half a bil lion a year. Oregon gets $5,000, 000. A three year's advertising cam paign by the Oregon State Cham ber of Commerce may be expect ed to bring in at least one-half of what Main and Colorado get, or $25,000.00, which should In crease on a rising scale. Valuable Fish Statistics. The French government has pub lished some curious figures as to the depths ut which sea fish can be found and taken. These are really startling, for they prove that many of the most valuable fond fishes live In far deeper water Mom wns ever liefore Imagined. L.

You will find MACK trucks incorporate more advanced principles of development toward the accomplishment of accessibility than can be claimed for other makes of trucks. This is the result of MACK engin eering and twenty-four years of building and perfecting motor trucks. MACK trucks are built in two types. The models under 3 tons' capacity are known as AB; those over as AC. The mo tors are identical except as to size. Examine these features of accesibility: Ports in the side of the crankcase, removed by a thumbscrew, permit inspection of the shafts; Pistons and Connecting rods may be withdrawn from the front; the Magneto and Pump are located in front of the en gine. The AB power plant, including engine, clutch, transmission and instrument board may be removed as a unit. The AC engine may be slid out the front by removing the bumper.
