i CHILDREN'S PRODUCT

j As the children of the Middlewest
I ere taking an interest in agricultural
1 products and vieing with each other us
lo which can produce tl.e finest patch
i; of corn each year, so will Oregon'i
I I future etockgrowera, grainmen - and
j ; horticulturist!, under the plan that is
i suggested by L. K. Alderman, superin-
ttnUent of the state schools, get bene
ficial instruction along practical lines
from their contest.
In order to encourage the youngster
in agricultural and horticultural work
the state superintendent has written
the following letter to teachers of the
state:
To the Teachers of Oregon,
Knowing that you are willing to co
ope! ate in educational work 1 ask you
to co-operate this year by encouraging
all your pupils in the growing of cropa,
domestic science and poultry raining.
Children like to do things and will re
spond to your encouragement. Your
county will hold a fair at which your
pupils will be asked to exhibit what
they raise or make. The best of these
exhibits will be brought to the state
fair where liberal prizes will be
awarded.
Ask your pupils how many of them
would like to have a Shetland pony, a
thorough-bred Jersey calf worth $1(X),
a pure-bred pig that would take the
prize at any prize show, a pure-bred
sheep with wool so thick that they
would have to feel around to find its
eyes, or a goat with flossy hair that
reaches to the ground; or secure a fine
Scotch Collie puppie that knows as
much as some people, or win a money
prize that will buy just what they
want. All these prizes and many more
are to be given at the state fair next
fall.
Ask if they know how to grow pota
toes, pumpkins, squashes, corn, pop
corn, et cetera. Ask how many of
them like water melons or musk mel
ons. The reason so many boys and
girls in Oregon do not grow water
melons is because they are afraid the
other boys will steal them. If they
all grow water melons there will be
no one lo HteHl.
Ask them if they know how lo feed
chickens. If they buy three settings
of eggs from one neighbor, and three
hens from another, and in March put
the two together they will probably
raise some prize-winners for the fair.
The children of Oregon can dourtrte the
egg production in three years.
Ask them if they know that the size
of the pumpkin does not depend upon
the size of the boy or girl who plants
the seed. I know n girl six years old
who raised corn fourteen feet high.
Let us show people that we are the
most alive children in the world by
75,0110 out of our 12o,0U0 exhibiting at
the county fairs, and 35,000 at the
state fair. Last year 14,000 children
in Iowa had exhibits at fairs. Let us
beat them two to one.
Youra very truly,
L. It. Alderman,
Supt. Public Instruction.
Brayford Reaches Old Home.
Writing from his old home near
Wallshall, England, Enoch Hrayford
says that the sage of Mood River is
having a good timo among the scenes
of his childhood. Mr. Hrayford's letter
continues: "lam now firm on terra
cotta, free from the reeling seas.
However, we are having some very
foggy, misty weather. I found my
sister and her family in good health,
as was her husky, burly son, Tom, who
is a warden at the nearby asylum.

Old sacred psalms were rendered, such
as 'Hail, Hail, The Power of Jesus'a
Name.' And as the sweet sounds
floated out on the breeze in the early
hours of the morning, my mind was
carried Hack to my childhood days.
"Yet, I have not forgot the land ef

Duck Season Over.
At midnight Sunday the duck shoot
ing for Oregon closed. Hunters had
planned on making Sii"il.iy a last big
day und to lay in supply of fowls for
several days afterward. However,
Sate Came Warden Finley ruled that it
would be illegal for anyone to have
ducks in his possession after the time
limit for hunting, no matter when they
were killed and great disappointment
was the result.

EDUCATED MEN
AT SHORT COURSE
The registration ok over 300 students
in the Oregon Agricultural College
short course is composed largely of
those who have had the advantage of
higher education.
Many are graduates of Eastern col
leger and universities, while but few
are limited to elementary school train
ing. Many eastern universities are repre
sented by one or more students.
Pacific coast colleges have also sent
a large number of graduates, including
those of the University of Oregon,
Stanford and many Oregon colleges.
Over 175 are taking horticulture,
while an equal number are registered
for the work in dairying and animal
husbandry.
Many professors are represented by
those interested in the agricultural
course.
A survey of the 'registration cards
shows that there are insurance agents,
merchants, confectioners, college pro
fessors, lumbermen, carpenters, home
seekers, engineers, bookkeepers, land
scape gardeners, clerks, express
agents, traveling salesmen, stockmen,
ministers, bankers, pharmacists,
trained nurses, photographers, cooks,
general farmers, fruitmen, dairymen,
beekeepers, butter makers, orchard
superintendents and farm managers.
Although Oregun supplies the great
est number of those enrolled, there are
also students from Japan, Germany,
Switzerland, England and British Co
lumbia, and from the states of Vir
ginia, Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nebraska,
California, Illinois, Minnesota, New
Mexico and Washington.
Thousands of acres are owned by
those winter students, one man having
a fayn of 1000 acres in Central Ore
gon, and others owning farms of 200 to
500 acres.
Most of those having less than 100
acres are owners of orchard property.
Many of the former students, having
attended three or more short courses.
Agriculture in its various forms is
becoming quite popular among the
better educated people, and it is re
freshing to see that some of the bene
ficiaries of higher education are plan
ning to do something besides get a
public office and live off their fellow
men. Capital Journal.

"Were you ever buried'.'"
The question came while there was
a lull in the hunting stories that were
being told around the Hotel Oregon
fire Saturday night.
"No, do you take us for dead ones,"
was Joe Vogt's reply, the others nod
ding approbation, too comfoi table with
merchaums and cigars to speak.
Archie Adams, who had made the
interrogation, -now straightened in his
rocker, sucked his pipe, blew some
rings and looking over the boys, said:
"You will have your little joke, Joe,
but by George, 1 mean that about the
burying business. 1 was buried once.
For several hours 1 submitted to
the rites of the dead. One of Fred
ricy's stories reminds me of the time
three other lads of the neighborhood,
I was about twelve years old at the
time, and I went 'possum hunting.
All the folks had gone into town to see
Lewis Morrison play Faust. They
were going to spend the night, but
before going they had left orders with
me to remain closely at home, else
it wouldn't be good for me. Well,
they were not more than out of sight,
when three neighboring boys came
along and we had planned that' possum
hunt. Did you ever hunt 'possums?
With a good yellow dog to tree them,
it is more fun than anything in the
world. That old flea bitten brute of
ours could scent a 'possum for a mile.
However, he treed other animals occa
sionally, anil thereby hangs my tale of
being buried.
"We thought we had lost old Cuff,
when he set up his yelp, that peculiar
little bark that he had when he was
close on to game. He was directly
beneath us in a hollow. We rushed
down that hill frantically. The lan
tern that 1 was carrying went out,
when 1 turned a somersault. How
ever, I was the first one on the scene
and pulling the dog away from one end
of a hollow log, where he was tearing
ofr bits of rotten wood with his mouth,
I inserted the long stick -that 1 carried
for twisting them out. By golly, 1
was tickled, for I felt the forked end
of the stick come in contact with the
fur of the animal. . I gave a few twists
until it got tight and began slowly to
draw Mr. 'Possum toward me. The
other boys had arrived about this time.
I was the youngest among them and
they thought 1 should let some one else
pull the 'possum out. However, I re
fused to turn the stick loose. Slowly
1 was bringing the furry rascal to the
opening of the log. 1 got him out.
Old Cud made a jump and grabbed him
right at my hands, but it wasn't a
'possum. No, a skunk. We called
'em polecats. The other boys had beat
it. And I dnl, too, as quick as I could
get to my feet. Birt. I had got it. Gee
whillikens, how 1 did smell.
"Those other lads laughed until I
wept. I told them about the order of
my parents. It was then that the old
est one said if I would let them bury
me for a while, it would kill the odor
and the folks would never know it.
We secured a grubbing hoe and a
shovel and 1 was laid beneath the
earth, only my head sticking out.
"With one of the boys staying with
me to keep me company, 1 remained
buried several hours. Rut it did not
kilt the odor. I got licked and caught
the worst cold I ever had in my life
besides."
Apple Exports Heavier.
Apple exports last week were esti
mated at about 98,000 barrels by
Freignt Broker Terhune. Of these,
Liverpool got 33,000: London, 35,000;
Glasgow, 15,000; Hamburg, 13,000 bar
rels, and various other markets about
2000 barrels. Halifax was the heaviest
shipper with 415,000 barrels. New
York second with 18,500; Portland next
with 17.110 barrels, and Boston last
with 0,000 barrels. The total ship
ments last week were slighty in excess
of those of the week before.
Columbia Frozen 50 Years Aso.
The following is clipped from an
Oregonian that was 50 years old last
Saturday :
"Three men crossed the Columbia
river yesterday on the ice. Eac car
ritd a long pole, which prevented them
from going down when the ice broke
through. One of them had the mail
from Vancouver. No paper was issued
at that place."

OREGON MINES
SHOW DECREASE
There has recently been a decline in
metallic output of Oreogn, and so far
as present data shows, this decline was
more marked in 1911 than in 1910, ac
cording to Charles G. Yale, of the
United States Geological Survey. The
total number of active mines shows lit
tle change, but some of the larger
ones have become less productive.
Several gold dredges are iu operation,
but the most productive was not work
ed for several months in 1911. The
hydraulic mines are the most product
ive placers, and their number is great
est. The deep mines of the state are
yielding larger quantities of milling ore
than formerly, but the grade of ore
worked has declined nearly one-half.
This accounts for the falling off in to
tal gold production. Some siliceous ore
is shipped to smelters, but most
of it is milled, and comparatively
little copper ore is now being smelted.
The output of silver in the State is
small. Baker County is still the larg
est producer of gold. It includes the
districts of Baker, Cornucopia, Cracker
Creek, and Mormaon Basin, and be
tween 50 and 60 producing mines, about
half of which are placers, although
much the larger proportion of the gold
is obtained from deep mines. In gold
output from placer mining Josephine
County leads. There are 12 counties in
the state now producing gold. In
southwestern Oregon the placer mines
are producing larger quantities than
the deep mines ; in northeastern Oregon
the lode mines ara much the most pro
ductive. According to preliminary figures
prepared by the Director of the Mint,
Oregon produced, in 1911, $592,536 in
gold and 69,1115 fine ounces of silver,
valued at $38,014, against $091,400 in
gold and 4,800 ounces of silver, valued
at $23,000, in 1910.
BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Baldness is too Generally Considered a
Sign of Advanced Age.
A bald-headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpor
ations have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 35 years
of age as new employees.
Piobably 65 per cent of bald-headed
people may regain a good head of
healthy hair if they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
a remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any heao, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead, the
follicles closed, and the scalp glazed
and shiny. We want people to try this
remedy at our risk, with the distinct
understanding that unless it does ex
actly what we claim it will, and gives
satiaafetion in every respect, we shall
make no charge for the remedy used
during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt our word, or hestitate to put our
remedy to an acual test.
We want every one in Hood River
who is suffering from any scalp or hair
trouble, dandruff, falling u.iir, or
baldness to try our Rexall "93" Hair
Ionic. We want them to use it regu
larlysay until three bottles have been
used and if it does not eradicate dand
ruff, cleanse and refresh the scalp,
tighten the hair roots, and grow new
hair, we will return every cent paid us
for the remedy for the mere asking.
There is no formality expected, and we
exact no obligation from the user
whatever.
We are established right here in
Hood River, and make this offer with
a full understanding that our business
success entirely depends upon the sort
of treatment we accord our customers,
and we would not dare make the aboe
offer unless we were positively certain
that we could substantiate it in every
particular. Remember, you can ob

Something You Should Know
About Substitution
If you wanted to buy oak lumber and the man delivered
yellow pine, jou would know the difference.
If yon wanted to buy silk and they sent you calico, you
would have no trouble in seeing the substitution.
It is not ro easy, however, with medicine. A great many
medicines look alike and taste alike, BUT THEY DON'T ACT
ALIKE. Just think this over the next time you want medi
cines. Rememlier that at our store you can absolutely rely on
every drug we sell. The difference between buying medicines
and merchandise is the difference between knowledge and be
lief. You know the one but you have to believe in the other.
You will lie absolutely safe when you put your belief ill us.
