The great conflict centers around the “bob.” It is rumored that dame fashion is now decreeing long hair, done up with the usual pins and other devices. But sohie advocates of feminine free dom are frankly opposed to the new ityle, and “refuse to go into any great length” on this question. A cameraman took a stroll across the campus the other day, and “shot” seven of the prettiest coeds in the University. The first, Alma Farmer, of Salem, advocate of the extreme “boy bob,” is firm in her belief that women will never flock back to long hair. “Short is so handy, so efficient, and it ‘feeds so good!!! * ” she declared The next photographed was Janice Mr. Kinnon, Eugene, who could be classed “average” as to hair length. She in tends to keep her hair just as it is, because, since it is naturally wavy, it stays attractive, and because it, is so “handy.” The next two pictured were in the “transition stage.” One, petite Grace Talyor, Eugene, is just about to have hers cut again, because “it is such n Forest Grove — Pacific univer'i sity will build modern athletic grandstand.

More Poor Cows Should Be Fattened and Killed It is a common practice among dairymen to fatten a cow for tlie beef barrel each year. More of our poor cows should be fattened and sold for beef. After a cow Ims passed tlie. mid die of her lactation period or has been bred it is natural for her to drop in milk production and gain in weight Feeds which will fatten an animal for bet'f should be wide in the ratlf) of protein to carbohydrates and fat, or in other words you should feed a ra tion low in protein, as protein feeds stimulate milk production at the ex pense of body weight. Good cows will, however, continue to give some milk even though they are receiving a fattening ration.
