Seeley, now a resi dent of Portlnud. His career was earied, h having be gun as a rancher, from which lie branched out into the legal profession, newspaper field, and later became a banker and part owuer of the Coos Bay water system. Mr. Bennett was Identified as part owner of the Coos Bay News from 1S0 lo 1S34, when he began the practice of law.

The private, whispered hunch of nmny members of the army general staff circulated through the war department today is that t'rahcisco Villa is planning whnt he hopes to be a mixture of eet re venge and the coup d' etut of his up and down life, Persounl letters received from officers in the field by officer friends at the war department, are the basis of the hunch. Inquiry among several members of the general staff today developed the same answer to the question, "Do you believe Villa is nlive?" the answer iu cvitubly was "I most certainly do." And almost inevitably detailing' of the huuch followed. Each officer em phasized it was a "pure hunch," but based on letters that read very much like similar letters received a month or two prior to the last Mexican crisis, which caused at lenst one mnior gen eral to prophesy just what afterwurd occurred. The hunch is that Villa, nursing re sentment over the Carranza recognition by President Wilson, plans a series of lightning like border raids, just as close to election time as compatible with strategy. Army officers generally do not fear any real Villa activity until Pnucho has spent several weeks more gathering ammunition and as many of his old followers as possibte, in order to make it necessary for the Carrauia-I'iii-ted Mutes field armies to cuter into op erations against him on a larger scale than either would waut to at such a time.

ACKERMAN IS FOR PENDLETON MEASURE HEAD OF MONMOUTH NORMAL SAYS ONE . SCHOOL CANNOT SUPPLY DEMAND FOR TEACH ERS. Monmouth. Ore. "A careful analy sis of the situation will convince any one that Oregon- needs a Normal School In Eastern Oregon and also one in Southern Oregon," said J. H. Ackerman, President of the State Nor mal School at Monmouth. "It ia a well-established fact that a centrally located Normal School cannot supply the needs of the entire state. The need of a Normal School in Eastern Oregon is readily proved by the most cursory Investigation of the list of our students and the list of our graduate teachers. The estimated population of our state in 1914 was 795,587. Take for example the eight Western Oregou counties, Clatsop, Clackamas, Benton, Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties. Their population for 1914 was 214.608, or less than 27 per cent of the total population of the state. yet 50 per cent of the graduates from our Normal School for the past five years are teaching school In some one of these eight Western Oregon coun ties. There are 35 counties tn the state, yet eight of these counties are getting half of the benefit of the teachers for which all of the counties pay the taxea. Here ia the list. During the past five years we have supplied the fol lowing graduates as teachers to these counties: Clatsop, IS; Clackamas, 20: Ben ton, 25; Lane, 36; Linn, 28; Marlon, 28; Polk, 25; and Yamhill. 20. In other words, 203 of our 407 teachers who have secured places ia the public schools in Oregon during the past five years, have gone to these eight Wil lamette Valley counties. Now take eight typical Eastern Ore gon counties and see if they have se cured Ihek proper share of teachers with Normal training. During the past five years we have supplied Normal graduates as follows to these Eastern Oregon counties: Baker, ; Grant, 1; Harney, 4; Mal heur, 2; Morrow, 4; Umatilla, 10; Wallowa. 7; and Wheeler, 2. The eight Willamette Valley coun ties had 203 Normal teachers as against J Normal teachers for the eight Eastern Oregon counties.

Found out it was a superior quality of blue clay. Now they're cutting it down and ship ping it away by the car load to be used m the manufacture of pottery. That hill was worth more than the rest of the farm. Man down in Connecticut had a worn out piece of land. Couldn't even give it away. Wit it wonld grow trees. Son studied forestry and went to work in the right way. Woodland now increas ing in value every year, and worth more than good corn tand. Limestone ledges, phosphorus rocks, quarries, swamps all have their val ue. Even the gravel beds and the san3 pits, according to the U. S. geological survey, yielded $23,121,017 duriag the last vear.

From reports received at this effice, it ia apparent that the practice is not com mon. Most of our correspondents ad mit that they have never seen it dona. However, J. D. Harper, assistant in soil and crop extensions, Purdue Universi ty, has the following to say: " Refill-f) nng silos with shock fodder is entirely practicable. It must be borne in mind, however, that it is necessarv to add water as the silo Is being filled. On farmer friend tells me that he filled a fifty ton silo with shock fodder, ajid that he added fifty barrels of water. This in his judgment was hardly suf ficient.
