FEATURES A beautiful campus, faculties of special- ists, modern facilities, low cost, with many opportunities for self-help, “athletics for everybody," s really democratic atmosphere —and the famous “Oregon Spirit.” The ranchers of Riverton are ex pecting a good apple crop. Miss Avis Mathison returned home the first of the week from her visit to’ Stanfield. Linn Ranney of Stanfield is a guest at the Mathison ranch.

Quick farm last Saturday. A good number of rabbits were killed. Harold Luce, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

McFalls, where he received help until his parents came. No Legal Offense. Perhaps the most notable instance on record of a treaty prematurely dis closed occurred In 1878, when n secret pact with Russia was revealed by Charles Marvin, a minor foreign office official entrusted with the task of mak ing a copy. Marvin sent a summary of the document to the editor of a Lon don evening paper, who published It. The sensation was immense, and Lord Salisbury's attempts to persuade the house of lords that the disclosure was "wholly unworthy of their confidence" was promptly followed by the appear- mice in the evening paper of the com plete text of the treaty from Marvin's wonderfully retentive memory. Mar vin was arrested, hut the law officers discovered that he had committed no offense known to the law. There’s no advantage in playing the fool. You may kick against custom If you will, but what gain Is there In it? After nil the world wants re- suits. It’s willing to pay the man who supplies It with what It wants. To act a part, or to claim what is truly yours may bring temporary success, hut the deceit Is paying too much for the whis tle Reactions always follow trick ery ami bragging. If you’re really smart you won’t have to stoop to de ception to get ahead. You will respect yourself and other folk by acting as If everybody had a reasonable supply of brains. That will keep yon from doing foolish things and expecting ex- oneration because it’s you. And the sooner you learn to do your part the less you will have to pay.

W* Have the Choice. Southey tells us that In his walks one stormy day he met an old woman, to whom, by way of greeting, he made the rather obvious remark that It was dreadful weather. She answered ‘ hilosophically, that. In her opinion, “any weather was better than none!" I shonid be half Inclined to say that any reading was better than none, al- laying the crudeness of the statement by the Yankee proverb which tells us that, though “all deacons are good, there’s odds In deacons."
