lecture on "(letter Untiles," being n
story full of Intercut, Illustrated by
1000 feet of film, also 15 silent pic
tures, showing farts about tho humnu
family. Theso facts are of vital In
l'lve hundred thousand human lielum
nro dying annually from ptoventablo
diseases, Two million children nro
working In sweat shops, mills and
mines; 40 per rent of tho children
art) starving; 33 1-3 per rent of young

women nro to bo found In tho while
slave traffic. Tho cause of this con.
dltlon of nf fairs Is largely Ignornuce.
It Is tho object of theso lectures to
educate tho people, nnd tlluM'iiiliuitu
useful knowledge ovoiywhero.
Miss Livingstone Is a cousin of Dr.
Dm Id l.lvtugslono, t li noted explor

ceedingly Interesting as well as pro
fitable. Kvery picture In full of In

t'lmiH Chnrloy, nged 10, of liutto
creek school, who Imn been In tho In

girls with corn growing as his project,
has produced a griulo of corn Hint
Is certainly surprising, I'roiu tho
one-eighth nrro which lift has har
vested, weighed and proved a produc
tion of corn at tho rate of 111 bush
els per aero. Ills corn Is mature nnd
dry mill tho leu ears exhibited has
won several first prizes Including
first nt the county fair. This hoy's
corn with his excellent report to tho
college will glvo him u very high
place In tho -Into contest. Whom In

1 1 1 bushels per nrro In Oregon?
The work required to produce such
results Is considerable for n boy of
111 or oven for n man, The com wilt
