A. c. authorized subscription representative of The Country Gentleman The Ladies’ Homedeuraal The Saturday Evening Fast Mlm-tLN The rapid physical development of Marine Corps recruits undergoing training here is shown ip a report made by the naval medical officers, who recently examined 188 recruits whose ages averaged about 29 years. On the date of enlistment each re cruit was given a careful examina tion covering height, weight and chest development. Less than two months later they were re-examined and it was disclosed that the average gain in height was nearly half an inch, the gain in weight a trifle over five pounds, and the Increase in chest measurements a fraction under one inch. During this period the men had not been put under a special course of training, but had eaten the same food and performed the custom ary drills given to all Marine Corps recruits. Some interesting facts were brought out by the surgeon’s report Two of the men gained two inches in height, one of them showing a gain of five pounds while the other lost nine pounds. Thirteen of the group lost weight, but showed gains in height or chest development. In ex actly eight weeks, one recruit gain ed sixteen pounds, grew three-quart ers of an inch, and increased his chest measurements one and one- quarter inches. Another man gain ed eleven and one-half pounds, in creased his height one-quarter of an inch, and the circumference of his chest four inches. 12 isues—$2.00 Ub^-tLM CALIFORNIA Calls You TO A WORLD OF INFINITE BEAUTY AND CHARM America’s Winter Playground Outdoor life Ideal.

(School Commandments) Harken unto me, ye young and tender students to the things which I say unto thee. Thou shalt have no open book before thee while thou art reciting, nor anything withal to refresh thy memory. Thou shalt bow down before professors for they are jealous gods and will get even with thee elsewhere. Remember the assembly room and keep it quiet. Thou shalt not kill—time. Thou shalt not covet thy fellow’s seat even Iho it be in the back of the room. Thou shall not covet his best girl nor Latin pony nor his fountain pen. Lastly I say unto thee, "Thou shalt not." GOLD AND BROWN LEAVES Umatilla High School By Lotys Davis Removing a Great Pyramid of Salt School reopened Monday with full attendance. Teachers and pu pils both report an excellent vaca tion. The teachers were enabled to visit their homes by the length of the two weeks' vacation. Miss Dunlop went to Estacada; Miss Jenks visit ed in Tangent and Independence; Miss Larsen in Milton; Miss Irving in Portland and Mr. Rush in Jen nings Lodge. Fern Rennick of the eighth grade visited in Portland during the holi- days. There have been several withdraw als recently.

The enactment of a compulsory dairy bull replacement law is being considered for enactment this com ing legislature. The dairy industry of Oregon has made rapid advance ment but there are many owners who still have scrub bulls. One bank in Coos county is trading purebred bulls for scrub ones in order to improve the dairy stock of that section. Not all dairy owners will even take advant age of this offer. Certain improve ments must be made through legal force, as an example, the Stallion Registration Law. It is planned to require that all dairy bulls licensed for service shall be purebred and from certain standards and approved dairy producing dams. Recently, at the National Dairy Show, a register ed bull "Flora’s Queen's Raleigh” that sold for $150.00, won in the get- of-sire contest over the $55,000 bull “Sybil's Gamboge.” Thus it would seem high prices do not guarantee marked superiority.

I understand that an artist has swept all the other Idols of the art world into the gutter. He has pro vided the many people who depend for social success on the gush of the pseudo-enthusiast with a new lease of life, says a writer in London Sketch. It seems easier to attain a success of this sort in the picture world than In music or literature. All have their Bunthornes, of course, but studios and picture galleries are stuffed with es thetic shams. This man hit upon a very simple no tion. He painted the faces of his por traits green. Nobody In this world, so far as I know, ever yet painted por traits of living people with green faces. Why not? Were they afraid the sub jects might not like it? But they had merely to choose the right subjects. Did they suppose there would be no public for pictures with green faces? Well, there Is now, at any rate. "People stand in front wondering what they are all about.” This reminds me of a young woman who protested that the only author she could “stand" was Henry James. Tn "stand” and to "understand,” you see, are very different things. This class of enthusiast does not want to under stand. They love to wonder what It Is all about, like a small child peering at the works of a watch. You would not expect a baby to discuss the merits of a watch.
