A club member. when he aeea a case of negligent or reckless.driviug will report the same to the secretary of the club or the chairman of the automobile committee. who will notify the guiity party and warn him to desist from further cases of recklessness. It was announced that the O. A. C. Welfare school would be here Wednes day and Thursday of next week. It ha not been learned just where the school, which is accompanied by a large number of the experts and in- stuctors of the Oregon Agricultural College, will be held. This will be de termined later. It is probable, accord ing to Prof. J. O. McLaughlin, that the exhibits and lectures will be given in one of the local school buildings. In the near future the judiciary com mittee of the Commercial club, to whom waa referred the recent road laws passed by the last legislature and the members of which were asked to make a study of the laws and report on them, will explain the new laws to the members. Judge Custner made a short talk Monday night, "'there are a number of new road laws that will be of interest," he suid, "and that the people should faimiliurize them selves with. One of the greatest needs in road construction is money. and the people can get the money by bonding. Multnomah county is now busily engaged in a survey for the Columbia river highway. I his survey is an ex pensive proposition, costing about $300 a mile. The local court was asked to have the survey continued on across this county, Multnomah officials stat ing that Wasco county would take the route up at their county line and con tinue it. However, we did no feel able financially to enter such a deal. Some of the counties are taking the matter up"by subscription." L. A. Henderson, a member or a committee appointed to investiagte the feasibility of parking that portion of Second street north of the Hotel Ore gon, reported that tentative plana had been made, whereby the site would be beautified by walks and grass plots, and that it had been proposed to place there a booth of the Commercial club, On the motion of Frank A.

"Ymniff vardencrs entering vege tables for premiums at agricultural, Bchn.il eminlv and state fairs must ex ercise special care in the entries if they would receive favorable notice from the iudies and win the valuable premiums," says Professor Bouquet, of the department of horticulture, Ore pon Agricultural College. "Heretofore too many fairs have been exhibitions of vegetable monstros ities while commercial specimens of mn.ipv value have been conspicuous by their absence. The boys and girls of Oregon must see that the vegetables that they exhibit are clean, smooth, uniform in size, color and shape, anil true to type of the variety. Something must be exhibited that will catch the eye of the judge. Nothing is of more importance than that the specimen should be clean and show great care In preparation previous to exhibition. Enormous specimens oi ueem. rauiaiice, purrniA ni I siiuash are to ue uiscour- ired. but the contestant ahould make it u till! nt in iplertine his specimens in the field to choose them for the quali fied which have been named above.

MARSHAL WILL COM PLETE ROAD WORK Portlanfl &Astoria NaYigatmn Co. Although C. K. Marshall, who for the past year has been road master of the county, has submitted his resigns tion, the same to take eifect at the pleasure of the court, the members of the county court have accepted the res ignation, effective only on October 15. The court feels that Mr. Marshall should be allowed to finish pieces of construction work that he has begun and that it would be an injustice to him as well as to the county to dismiss him at the present time. The county court is in thorough accord, according to Judge Castner, with that portion of the road laws providing for a roadmas ter, who shall have general supervision of the roads of the county, thus stand ardizing the work and insuring a more uniform system of roads. A statement given out by the county court last Saturday ia as follows: Now, there having appeared before the court a committee consisting of F. C. Sherrieb, J. 11. Jeffry and A. 1. Mason, who presented a petition signed by 27ti taxpayers of the county re questing that the office of county road master be immediately vacated owing to the present financial situation of the county, and the court having listened to argu i ent of the committee in sup port of the said petition, the court di rects that the petitioners be replied to as follows: The road master was appointed under authority given by the Statutes, and in accord with the recommendation of the grand jury of October, 1912. I. it is the unanimous opinion ot the members of the court that such an office ia necessary if the road work in the county is to be carried on in a sys tematic and economical manner, and such opinion is endorsed by the legisla ture of the state, inasmuch as the laws Exhibits will be Shown in Mount Hoik! Annex Building-Corps of Profess ors will Deliver Lectures The Oregon Agricultural College welfare school, will arrive here Tues day and spend Tuesday and Wednesday in this city. The school lectures, ex cept the civic improvement address by Prof. Peck, A'hirh will be given at the Commercial club, will be given in the Mount Hood Annex building. The O. A. C. extension school on general welfare made up of specialists from the Agricultural College, the State Food and Dairy Commission and the Oregon Social Hvgieua society, carrying splendid educative exhibits will lie in this city next Tuesday and Wednesday. Sept. 16 and 17. The statf is completing a six weeks' tour of the stale ami press reports indicate mat the sessions have left the various citit-s strongly impressed with the value of their work. It is out purpose to take whole some, helplul information to the people f the various communities of the tate," said Director K. D. lletzel, of the extension division, in writing of the aim of the school. "We do r.ot pretend to know everything but wa do believe that the college cmi render val uable assistance te the people of the state if they will cooperate with us and help us get the information to them. We are particularly anxious that every person who is interested in bet- tre cities, belter moraiu, better nomea and better schools, shall lock arms with us in this attempt to help solve our many problems." The lectures and demonstrations by Mrs. Robbina, on subjects relative to the home are proving to be of great interest and practical value to the women of the towns where the work has been . offered. The instruction given along these lines is practical and right to the point, f or example, the demonstrations on domestic science emphasize simple, accurate methods of obtaining attractive desired results in the preparation of white sauce, me making of a batter series from a thin batter to a thick dough, etc. Domestic art subjects such as cutting, fitting and sewing garments, will be treated in a similar way. Accomuanving these demonstrations informal talks or lectures will be given on many problems concerning the home. The lectures and demonstrations by State Food and Dairy Commissioner Mickle ar designed to bring directly to- every mwnuritty"the information that will aid ty- materially tn m preservation of the public heatth. In this Prof. H. V. Tartar, of the O. A. C department of chemistry also as sists. Prof. Peck's lectures on civic im provement and the development of home grounds are of particular value as they are given after a study of local possibilities in his line and are de signed to bear upon actual existing conditions. '1 he subject of social hygiene, which is receiving so much emphasis through out the country at the present time, is handled by Secretary K. J. cummins, of the Oregon society. To supplement his lectures he is carrying the exhibit which he has enabled his society to do much etTective work in the city of Portland. Other exhibits to be shown in ex planation of the welfare work are those of Stale Food and Dairy Com missioner Mickle; the State Library be comp ; whiJand f rVe f rom 'ibm- " a" uc iumijai.1., , .

CLUB HOLDS ITS FIRST FALL MEETING The first fall meeting of the Com mercial club alter me passing oi ine hot season, held in the club rooms Monday evening, was an enthusiatic one. About 25 of the city's business men were present and various topics came uo for discussion. One of the slogans for the organization next year will be: "Better water ties." An effort will be made to have work in the county be carried on under the supervision of either the road mas ter or county surveyor., and leave the court practically no discretion. 3. As regards expenditure, the sal ary of the county surveyor is fixed by law at $5 per day and 10 cents per mile for each mile traveled. The salary of the roadmaster is left to the discretion of the court, and at present $5 per day and tz.'M per day lor traveling ex penses, when actually engaged in the performance of his duties, therefore, beginning with January 1914, the employment of a superinten' dent of county road work is required by law, and the only question will be whether a road master is to be ap pointed or the county surveyor em oloved. The county cannot be saved the expense in any way. the petition Mr 4.

Attention was also called to the fact that the people of Underwood were greatly annoyed by the heap of garbage that confronts their eyea and nostrils every time they make trip to this i city. "I was recently in the Under- wood district," says S. A, Mitchell," and as every one else that passes that 1 way, I noticed the garbage heap. 1 ! would consider it a personal insult if 1 I were the people of Underwood and had - to pass by that stench every time 1 came to this city." The club's attention was called to the fact that the city council was now started by him, could not be carried out without his assistance except at great inconvenience, expense and delay to the county, and the members of the court being satisfied of the value and competence of his services, they feel that it ia their duty, and they have therefore decided to retain his services until the 15th of October, 1913, Dated Sept. 5, 1913.
