David Hynd, who was In the city
on Tuesday from the Rose Lawn
ranch of Hynd Bros. In Sand Hoi
low, wag pleased that shearing hud
not yet started at the Hynd ranch
es. The heavy loss of sheep on
Butter creek, following shearing,
caused by the severe storm of the
first of the week, would doubtless
have been visited upon them, as the
storm was quite cold and heavy at
the Hynd ranches. The moisture
will be of much benefit to range
conditions, however. Shearing will
be on at the Cecil ranch this com
ing week, Mr. Hynd stated, and
would have been under way there
sooner but for the weather condl
tiona.

Farm Electricity Aids
In Thwarting Thieves
The shotgun and the dog are giv
ing way to outdoor lighting sys
tems and electric burglar alarms
as protection against petty thieves
and night prowlers who cause such
heavy losses of farm property each
year. The agricultural engineering
department at Oregon State college
finds a strong demand for an alarm
or protection system which Is cheap
and effective in reducing this farm
hazard.
Yard and flood lighting systems,
with a control switch at the owner's
bedside, often prove valuable in
frightening away night prowlers.
One well-known Oregon woman
uses a 100-watt bulb, fastened high
powerful reflector, fastened high
on the windmill. Another Oregon
farmer goes still further and has
mounted on his house top a large
search light similar to an auto
headlight. From inside the house
he not only can turn on the light
but can also turn the rays lnany
direction. Many farm women can
reach out from their bedsides and
make the electric lights gleam In
the poultry house.
Another popular method of re
ducing farm losses from theft Is the
burglar alarm system, which Ik
quite effective, especially when com
blned with flood lighting. When the
system is set for the night a bell
will ring In the house If any door
or window Is opened in the build'
ing or buildings thus protected.
The owner then snaps on the flood
lights and picks off the Intruder
with his twenty-two. Or, if the
owner prefers not to be disturbed,
he may locate the bell In the chick
en house or elsewhere, and Its ring
will In Itself usually frighten the
thief away.
There are various kinds of sys
terns, and their value usually de
ponds on the cleverness with which
the alarm circuits are Installed, the
agricultural engineering department
finds. Several commercial concern.)

"SPRIG HAS CUB."
Spring is surely here. How do
we know? Well, take for Instance
those worthy or is It unworthy
students, who sallied forth from
the mussy, dusty halls of learning
Into the warm spring sunshine to
commune with, nature instead of
lapping up knowledg in the class
room.
How sorry we feel for those stu
dents whose spirits were so high
and whose same spirits were
brought to earth with a bang Mon
day morning when Mr. Bloom sen
tenced them to five times as much
study time as they spent playing
"hookey."
We wonder if, after all, it was
worth it

Todav he has been In nffW fnr

To do it. he had to walk on some

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Curt Thomson and Billy Schwaiz
do not spend all of their time trv.

son saw them sitting upon a hill
last Sunday, hodine a cord In their

their minds had wandered and had
failed to return, the fellow started
UP to tell thm that there were nn
fish on that mountain-side, and they
mignt just as well go and sit in the
shade and throw their line nut in

arriving, tne fellow found that their
lines had loops in them, and when
Sir or Madam Sauirrel Htnc.V his
