THE QUALITY STORE PORTLAND WILL PROTECT GIRLS "Big: Sisterhood" Society Organized In Oregon's Metropolis Portland has a "Big Sisterhood." an unique society, which invites the inter est and co-operation of mothers and daughters and other members of fam ilies throughout the state of Oregon. This society is quite informal in Its organization, its aim being to give friendly aid and counsel to girls who are alone in Portland or who for any reason are in need of a "Hig Sister." The work of the Society is not offered as a charity, but is just for an "Little the friendliness of one woman other, or a "Big Sister' for a Sister." So many girls going to the city from the country or small towns have fallen into misfortune through the want of a friend, or in some case? have been utterly lost to their home people, thut these Portland women have associated themselves to extend the friendly hand to girls and women who need any kini of help whatever. If girls, or the parents of girls, who arc gong to Portland will write tc the "Big Sisterhood," care of the People's institute, arrangement will be made to give them such attention as jtheymy wish on reaching the city and their welfare will be looked after I So many sad things happen every day o airls who come to Portland from email towns and the country that the importance of this acquaintance with the "Big Sisters" is urged upon moth ers and daughters throughout the state. Treasurer Gets Bonds Washington, D. C, April 1. John Burke, former governor of North Da kota, who recently became Treasurer of the United States, tiled a I ond for 1150,000 with the Federal Government to insure adequate care of every cent of the nation's money in his custody. The guarantor of his honesty and faith fulness is a seven-rnillion-dnllar corpor ation of Baltimore, the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company. While the total of the t.easury'B funds will run nearlv a thousand times the amount of Governor Burke's bond, all the other treasury cHiciala who share with him the care of tne money are tonded and the aggregate security bears a much larger proportion toward the iotal funds. Besides, the largest loss for which a treasurer v. as ever held responisble was ?M)0, the contents of a sack stolen by a laborer aome i years ago. New School Maps For teaching the geographv ot the United States in the public schools and colleges a strong effort is being made by the United States Geological Sur vey to foster the use of the Govern ment topograph. c maps. 1'hene maps contain so many details of local inter est, showing even the school houses and farm houses as well as every wagon road, with which of course the school children are fami'iar, that it is said to be an easy matter for touchers to en list the Interest of the pupils in this new type of school map. From an un derstanding of the particular maps representing their own localities It is but succession of short steps to lead the pupils to an appreciation of the diff erent types of country o 'rayed on maps of other sections of the United States. Moat of the Uur.di.rd utlas sheets of the Geolngical .Survey of re cent i'sue are prirtfd i.r M.e T'aln ot 1 mile to I inch, a tcd: vt.i, ti shows tne physical features of the country were very interesting in detail. MEDAL FOR BEST ESSAVON ROADS School Children of Rural Districts Are Eligible For Contest A gold medal to the school boy or girl between the ages of 10 and IS who writes the bent composition, not to exceed 800 words, on the repair and maintenance of earth roans, h to be I awarded by Logan Waller Tugs, 1)1 ! rector, Olllce of Public Hon Is, United j State Popartmcnt ot Agriculture, Washington, D. C. All compositions must be submitted to Mr, Page before May. l. 1913, and the medal will be ttwardetl as soon thereafter as the com positions msy be graded. The com ; position mHj be based on knowledge gained from nooks or other sources. but no quotations should bo made. After many fears' experience in dealing with the pur lie roiul situation I of the country, it is Mr. Page'a belief that ignorance on the subject of repair i and maintenance of roada is as much the cause of tneir bad condition as any other one factor. It is expected that the competition will bring about a better umlerstsnding of the subject of repair and maintenance in the rural districts. Many children living in the rural dis tricts have experienced the disadvan tages of roada made impaesnble through a lack of proper maintenance and it ia expected that their interest in the competition will stimulate greater in terest among the parents. Had roods have prevented many children from obtaining a proper education and have even prevented many children from obtaining a proper education and have even prevented doctor from reaching the side of rural patients in time to save their lives. Any child between the ages mention, attending a country school, may com pete. Only one side of the paper must be writton on: each page should be I numbered : the name. age. and address of the writer, and the name and loca tion of the school which he or she Jis attending miiHt be plainly written at the top of the first page. The an nouncement of the competition has been sent to the superintendents of schools in the rural districts. No fur ther information can be obtained from the Office of Public Roads. This an nouncement should bo plain to every one, and all children will thus start on a basis of equality. CENTRAL OREGON GRASSADUNDANT More Feed Goes to Waste Than Some States Raise "Tell me, if you will why, with more grass going to waste in Oregon than is grown in any single state east of the Rocky mountains, the railroads hsve hauled carloads of butter from that poorer grass section that you mHy have butler to spread on your bread." Ths question is asked by Professor A. K Chamberlain, agricultural com missioner of the Great Northern, says the Portland Journal. "Tell me, with vour climate, why you are paying freight on the eggs you use on your tables?" he continued. "It is because your people have been overlooking the little1 advantages thst nature gave you over everybody else in this country, and have been looking to doirg some great big thing instead of availing yourselves of the greatest resources God gave to man grass, plain grass ! "1 have always believed that the greatest asset of the state of Oregon is grass. "v hile you are struggling with the development of orchards, the fruit lands and irrigation projects, there is going to waste each year in the state of Oregon grass that has been pro vided by nature without any aid from man, that if consumed by livestock would produce more net wealth for your people than Is produced from the fields of some states in this union that have three, four or five times the rural population you have in Oregon." Taft's School Duties H. W. Rogers, dean of the Law School, has issued the following state ment regarding the nature of Professor William Howard Taft's work in the law school. He lays : "It is understood that Professor Taft will lecture on constitutional law in the law school and in the college. He ia Kent professor of law in the college of constitutional law. Ilia course on constitutional law is of two years and the book to be used is Thayer's cases. In the coiicte ll.r subject no doubt will be taught from an academic point j of view and In the l.w school from a professions! point of view. The acad emic! course la credited on the acu.iennc i dcri-e inn n,i' rn the. la jcerto. The ! course in the law school ia credited on the law degree, but not, on the arts degree."

Musical Horns Prohibited A Pari di'patch says the musical it'ltointiile horns which threatened to fill the main streets of Paris witr. sriHtchcs of popular or classical airs int-tcad of the usual "honk, honk" have como to a quick finish in Franco. A test case was trought at;aint two motorists of Douai, who enlivened the night trumpeting the leitmotiv of "Die Wlakuer," and it has been decided that thesn instruments are illegal here. The decision brought out a judicial ' definition of the word "horn," which j had hitherto been rather widely inter- -preted. "The latter,' said the Judge, "must be for the purpose of sounding an j alarm and be used to warn the public. 1 not to amuse it. It must give forth a j single note which should be grave, i even sinister, in order to call attention to impending danger. "The new fanhorns." under! the Judge, "lack seriousness and are there fore outside the meaning of the act. PUBLICITY WORK conduct all publicity work on conservn tive lines.
