NEWS OF OAKLAND, BERKELEY, ALAMEDA, HAY WARD AND SAN LEANDRO FARMING? NEVER AGAIN, SAYS MAGEE Rural Life Not for University Professor, Who Has Sold His Ranch BERKELEY. Sept. 27.— The back to nature call which Prof. Walter E. Ma g>e, head of the department of physi cal culture at the university, heard and answered by the purchase two >%ears ago of 40 acres of rich farming land near Walnut Creek, has had a re actionary echo stronger than the first summons, and now the well known professor and clubman has sold his "white elephant" and hied himself back to this city, where he has pur chased a home at the corner of Chan nmg way and College avenue. .He still mourns the time and labor expended in hauling 15 miles to Wal nut Creek the famous old fence around the old football field, painted and carved by the students in allegorical representation of victories won by uni versity and classes.' : The. old fence, as famous on the *;a.mpus as the North hall steps, will .he left at Walnut Creek dedicated to the" soil as a memento of the efforts <rf the fleeting farmer. The fence* :?^-h:ch inclosed a wide expanse of foot ball fie}d just west of California hall, was the main feature of the farm h.6me of Professor and Mrs. Magee. : The removal of the fence, however, wats only part of the energy spent by the physical culture professor In the making of the model farm. He pur chased the property two years ago and *>aeh Friday, loaded down with bun dles, went to Walnut Creek, where two risys of hard labor were expended l in developing the land. Each "holiday saw Professor and Mrs. Magee toiling in" the fields, and every Fpare moment from his duties on the campus was spent in the tilling of the ground and erection of farm buildings. Now the call of the wild is but his tory as far. as Professor Magee Is concerned. He spent the last summer in development work, and when asked pliout farming raised his right hand and satd "Never again." The ranch has been sold, likewise all photographs of it, and the only memory In the mind of tlie popular teacher is the old football- fence, which no longer occu pies its customary place on the cam pus, but has been sawed and nailed to form the Magee farmhouse. INSPECTION OF FRUIT AND TREES RIGID British Columbia Horticultural Standard Is High Consul General George N. West of Vancouver reports as follows on the inspection of nursery stock, the plant ing of trees and the development of the fruit industry of British Columbia: The growth of the fruit industry in thie province may be gauged by re turns of imported nursery stock which the provincial inspector of fruit pests i-.Bts -recently transmitted to govern rn^nu The number of trees and plants inspected at Vancouver was as--fol lotss during the first four months of 191-0: • January. 592.002; February. 103. )«; March. 767.155; April. 1.255.715; -iptaJ, 2.718.056. The inspector expects lliait the" number of trees and plants to wrrlye during the other eight months of 1910 will bring the total up to 4,000.000. Every tree and plant is inspected as it passes through the station. This entails a van emount of labor. Owing to this rigid inspection before the stock Is delivered to the buyers for planting ii7:the great Okanocan. Simllikameen. East and West Kootenai and the hanndary country, there is not a trace of San Jose scab or the brown tail, fiTipsy moth or codling moth. The im portance of this fact to fruit growers can hardly be overestimated, as It en ables them to guarantee the soundness of fruit to purchasers. During the year 1909 there, were im ported into the city of Vancouver 113. 11>3 boxes of apples, pears, peaches, apricots, quinces and plums, which, with the amount received from the orchards located in the province, about 25,000 boxes, shows a large consump tion of fruit in this city and the nearby countrj-. ; Apples have been grown successfully at an altitude of 4.500 feet near Ross land. It is expected tha.t there will be a shipment of at least 1,000 boxes of fruit to the prairies this fall from this province, and these shipments will come ind irect competition with those of, the fruit grown In the states of California. Oregon and Washington, which have in the last few years been the principal suppliers of '.fruit, espe cially apples, to the provinces of Al berta- and Saskatchewan. The inspection of fruit coming into British Columbia Is rlgrid and effect ively enforced without partiality to the section in which it is grown." HOLLOW. BEAD INDUSTRY DECLINING IN AUSTRIA Production Reduced to SO Per Cent in 1909 In the annual meeting of the co-opera tive society of hollow bead manufac turers of Bohemia, recently held *n attention was called to the great decline of this heretofore pros perous industry." * It was also reported that in the early part of 1909 the production of hollow beads was reduced to SO per cent? and later in the season to 60 per cent. De spite this fact the organization was in possession of an accumulation of stocks unknown in its history. Since January 1 the number of bunches of beads pro duced hag risen to 45,000. and an effort has b*en made to reduce the producton. The following figures show how the in dustry has declined: While in 1907 the orders received were valued. at $374, 535, in 1909 they fell to $180,670. As a result of the quiet market, wages and hours of work in the hollow bead Industry have been materially re duced. In 1909 the manufacturing es tablishments stopped work entirely for two weeks in September. The principal market of the manufacturers of this district is in oriental . countries, and recent political and social conditions jn India and Egypt have had a. depress ing effect on the industry. - Compe tition .from Japan and : Germany has also been felt. The business has been equally Influenced by the action -of the East Indian hollow bead Importers, who are selling their goods at very low prices. - AMERICAN GRANITE SHIPPED TO EUROPE American granite Is, being 'shipped to i Europe.

Miss Leigh Stafford. The hall was planned to be built last semester, but owing to the lack of funds for the building only about half of the $2,000 needed was raised. With this as a nucleus for the fund, the women have made renewed efforts and hope to raise the additional $1,000 by next spring. Miss Grace McFarland, who is chair man "of the subscription committee, is one of the most energetic workers for the new hall. Miss Cora ;Weider is general chairman of the women.. The management of the student play has offered the women 20 per cent . of the money gained by celling tickets for the Shaw classic, and the women have started .to work with a will. A number of the students of the Berkeley high schoorhave also com menced to sell ticket's under the di rection of Miss Mary Clayes, and the money they raise will be used for the benefit of needy students, graduates of the school, *vho are attending, the uni versity. -The details for the founding of this scholarship will be worked out later. . ADVICE GIVEN TO WOMEN WHO JOIN FOX HUNTERS Bill Nye's Story Patched Up for New Readers Among the bits of historic fun which Life !s patching up for its readers' de light the following is from Bill Nye's story of fox hunting in America, when the fox is an anise seed bag. Too much stress can not be placed upon the costume worn while fox hunting, and, in fact — that Is, after all — tht; life and soul to' the chase. For ladies, nothing looks better than \u25a0 a close fitting jacket, sewed together with thread of the same shade, and a skirt. Neat fitting cavalry.., boots and a plug hat complete the costume. Then with a hue in one hand, a cry In the other, she is. prepared to mount. Lead the horse up to a stone wall or a freight car and spring lightly; into the saddle with a glad cry. A freight car is the best thing from which to mount a horse, but it -is too unwieldy, and frequently delays the chase. For this reason t<To much luggage .should not be carried on a fox hunt. Some gentlemen carry a' change of canes, neatly concealed in a shawl strap, but even this majr be "dispensed with. EATING OF CURDS IS ' OFFER OF, MARRIAGE Curious Leap Year Custom Pre- vails at Manche An interesting ancient custom is ob served in Manche at the harvest time. When the work is on the point of completion a sheaf of honor Is made and decorated with flowers, which the farmer himself carries' in procession, surrounded bythe harvesters." Two of the party,, under the pretext of sweep ing the way, raise a cloud of dust. If in Jhe progress the procession meets a stranger the girls offer him some corn from a pewter plate.' If he accepts and makes them a small monetary present the girls kiss 'him.*. But: the principal ceremony Is reserved for therepast, in which curds occupy a prominent, place.* When this. part of the menu :ls 'reached the girls each choose one of the young harvesters and endeavor to force . him to take a spoonful. . If the attempt is a success It is taken as an offer of mar riage on the man's part. / BAD LUCK OF FRIDAY ATTRIBUTED TO GODDESS Venus of North Held Festival on ' Sixth Day .The bad luck supposed to attach -to.

There, is-music for music lovers, fun for fun lovers, drama for the serious and mys tery for the problem solvers. Of all the excellent \u25a0 acts, there are four that vie for first honors. Among them Is Rameses,. the Egyptian, who has a- production equal to anything of its kind'ever seen here., As a trickster he presents puzzles that puzzle, and his quickness and dexterity in this line of work .are remarkable. Especially Is this true in the burning of the fire god dess, one of the most mystifying tricks imaginable. .-\u25a0\u25a0' "High Life in Jail," as pictured by William H. Sloan and W. \H.

"The Parsonage," with Miss Rose Wilbur and Zellah Covington enacting seven different roles, is another, act that stands among the leaders and is prov ing a drawing card, \ while the Four Rianas, two of whom appear as human monkeys in an acrobatic act called "In Africa," which keeps the fun up to a lively pace throughout, acquit them selves with credit. . Miss. Lottie Duisserett Is not only a splendid concert viollnlste, but a chic and dainty soubrete as-wall. She is programmed for her violin work only, and her little song and dance as a third encore! come as a pleasant surprise. - "Jack, the .Giant Killer," with big George Auger, . little Ernest Rommjl, Caroline Hass and Sylvia Hearne, has been retained, and continues to delight both young and old. j.'vThe Bison, four are all boya with splendid, voices and a good idea of r*al comedy. Their new songs, one of which is "The Chantecler Rag," have won\ indisputable favor. The Jack Artoia Duo, as clowns who perform puzzling feats on the horizontal bars, round out a winning program. ~ \u25a0; Next week's headllners will Include a :little" classic In- slang byj George V.
