If
the disease through shipment of
fruits, vegetables or dairy products
from the great non-infected areas
of California. We know of no In
stance where the disease has been
carried hy such shipments," Dr.
Ilouck said.
Complete confidence in the men
in the Held was expressed by Dr. J.
It. Mohler, chief of the bureau of
animal Industry, United States de
partment of agriculture, in a mes
sage he has just sent to Dr. Ilouck
and the local federal Inspectors.
"We have In California," he said,
"the heHt equipped force of Inspec
tors that was ever assembled on a
foot and mouth detail,
"Our methods are not experi
mental, but have been weighed In
the balance of practical experience
and have always produced the de
sired results."
Why Is It?
Why is it that so many people
will ask their home merchants or
the editor of their home paper to
cut pricea for them and then step
into a store in the city and buy
something; without even a sug
gestion of lower prices? Or why
is it that some people will send a
check for the full amount ot the
printed price in a mail order cat
alogue, but will finger the price
mark on goods in a store at home
and ask if that can't be trimmed
down a bit since they "are good
customers." And why, oh why,
will the same people send away
a check for something because it
looks cheap without asking the
home merchant if he can dupli
cate it?
No one has ever answered these
questions, so we have to take it
that its just a trait of human
nature, this thing of thinking
that home people don't like money
as well as strangt rs, or that they
don't want to live as well as other
people. Driving a bargain is all
riRht. Hut there is a difference
between driving a bargain a bar
gain and trying to talk a neigh
hor out of an honest profit. Say,
wouldn't it be a better com
munity all around if we could
drill this into the heads of those
who most frequently insist upon
talking the home merchant out
of the little profit he is bound to
make if he stays in business.
.. And Hcppncr Wept
One sail feature of Heppner's
hall teams defeat last Sunday was
the sadness expressed by many
lleppnerites over the outcome.
It was heartbreaking to note the
sohs emited by the young girl
fans which was finally taken up
hy the older women. Us lone
people felt a degreed of great
sorrw, but it couldn't be helped
and lleppner wept.

NEW MODERN BUILDINGS
FOR ALBANY COLLEGE
Rapid Progress Btlng Made Through
out the State In Campaign to Rais
Funds for Expansion Purposes.
Albany student self-help college, lo
cated at Albany, Ore., Is to have at
least three modern new buildings In
which to house its many departments
of education, when the campaign now
on throughout the state Is finished and
1800,000 Is raised for expansion pur
poses. Rapid progress is being made
in organisation work, according to J.
Henry Lang, director, at headquarters
In the Multnomah hotel, Portland.
At Albany college, every student
entered must earn all or part of their
way by some of the various methods
of work employed, it being the policy
of the school thus to inculcate habits
of the students carrying their own
load, the college lending them a help
ing hand while doing it. It is believed
by the faculty and trustees that this
better tits a student for life work,
hence It Is made obligatory.
Friends of Christian education are
being enlisted In the campaign and
the response to the call for service
has been splendid. Because of the
excellent record of the college and
the splendid field of opportunity In
the northwest, it is believed that a like
response will be forthcoming when
funds are asked for to put the school
on a thoroughly standardized basis
as to buildings and productive endow
ment. Albany college already has
$212,000 productive endowment, but to
enlarge its scope and to provide more
self-help facilities, It is necessary to
have the additional $600,000, (100,000
of which has already been subscribed
in Albany and vicinity.
All Oregon to Aid Albany
Self-Help College
The entire state of Oregon
will be appealed to In a cam
paign now being organlted to
raise $600,000 for new buildings,
equipment and productive en
dowment for Albany student
self-help college, Albany, Ore.,
an old-established school under
Presbyterian auspices, but not
narrowly sectarian. State head
quarters are. in the- Multnomah
hotel, Portland, J. Henry Lang
being director.

Albany College to Have
$600,000 New Endowment
A campaign Is in progress through
out the entire state of Oregon to raise
$600,000 tor Albany self-help college,
located at Albany, Ore., one of the
oldest schools in this state. To show
their Interest and belief in the col
lege, the people of Albany and vicinity
have already pledged more than $100,
000 of the sum.
While a state-wide organisation Is
being perfected, there has been great
progress In the city ot Portland proper,
where $3(0,000 of the entire sum is to
be subscribed. Headquarters lor the
state campaign are In the Multnomah
hotel, Portland, with J. Henry Lang
in charge as director. F. I. Fuller,
first vice-president ot the Portland
Railway, Light A Power company, is

terian churches In the city have been
enthusiastically enlisted In the cam
palgn and many men and women of no
special church affiliation likewise
have been Interested. These are pdo
ple who believe In Christian edura
tion and the value ot the smaller col
lege as a supplemental agency for the
late Institutions of hlsher latniii

Telephone Operator Killed
While CallingJAId
When a million gallons of am
monia nitrate exploded at the
Nixon Nitrate Works at New
Brunswick, N. J., killing some 25
persons and seriously injuring 60
others, a telephone operator
played the role of heroine.
While others ran for their lives
Miss Ruth Rockefeller, telephone
operator of the Ammonia Nitrate
Unit, rushed to her switchboard
and plugged in calls for help.
The explosion blew the wall in
within a few feet of the girl at
the switchboard, and when fire
man burrowed their way into the
ruins an hour later, they found
her body lying across the switch
board, crushed under a great
beam, but untouched by the fire.
Her hand still rasped the tele
phone eoras, out ner lace waa
placid as if she had worked cal nj-
ly and rapidly until the end, con
scious of having carried on the-
traditions of the conduct of her
humble post in great moments.
