Taxes are a legimate expense and should be met as such. To pay taxes should bring as much pleasure as to pay the grocery bill. While groceries are neces say to sustain life, tax funds are needed to provide conditions that will make iif e worth living. The matter of paying all legit imate tills, taxes included, should bring as much pleasure tuberculosis, as recently made to the National Assocation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, will stem the tide of popular disapproval of the billboard. The opposition is strong and it is growing. RISING F FORTIES Annoijncement APPLE r FAIR COMING.

DOOM OF THE BILLBOARD The Albany Democrat men tioned a tomato this week, shown by the late J. F. Peebler, measuring 13 by 15. Yesterday C.R. Widmer, of North Albany, left a solid fellow, a beautiful tomato, at the office,, which measured 13 by 20 inches, the biggest yet. . ; ORIGINAL ? The billboard as a"means of advertising ; will soon be but ; a memory a nightmare if public sentiment against it continues to increase in volume and effective ness as it has during the past few months. Never since the Americian Civic Association opened its campaign fory the abatement of the billboard nuis ance has there been, such an awaking to the fact ihatv "the billboard is an eye sore, a nuis ance, and a disgrace, and should be abolished altogether, "as the Washington Herald aptly puts it i From the East to the West, organized effort to eliminate, or regulate, the billbtarl,' has been taking' definite and effective form. Carefully prepared ordin ances have been passed and others are being drawn for pass age. Cincinnati recently scored against the billboard by the , adoption of a building code con taining elaborate provisions re garding outdoor advertising. Under that code a large number of sign spreads have been or dered J done. Moreover many advertising merchants are volun tarily abandoning the billboards. In the West, Portland and Seat tle are grappling with the prob lem in an intelligent manner. In Cambridge, Mass., a Wo man's Club secured the removal of many stands by appealing to the advertisers' direct. Lynch burg, Va., has placed a most ef fective ban on the billboard. The : American people . believe in advertising, they read adver tising, they patronize, advertis ers, but they are discriminating; they, don't want the. advertising that mars scenery, - that , shuts out light, that depreciates ad- ' joining j property, that offers a - rendezvous for " neighborhood juvenile gatherings of dangerous .tendencies. . - If the billboard must exist the voted at' their last-meeting to issue special cards - to visitors from out of town taking part in the program, so that during their stay in Albany they will have the freedom of the club parlors. " -In addition to" the display of apples which now promises, to. .be of a very high class, there' will be given probably the finest ex hibition of Oregon ' chrysanthe mums ever shown in the central Willamette Valley. Devotees of this queenly flower in Albany are coaxing their finest buds for display at that time. .One en thusiastic grower reports that he has now a blossom, only partly developed, which measures eight and one-halt inches in diameter, a remarkable; pro duct. - v ; PARLORS E .

The Boy and the Book. - The late Edward Everett Hater said a , Boston magazine editor, "was a great student of child life. ' "Dr. Hale once dilated to me on the incorrigibly, bad taste in books that children have. He instanced the case of his own son,' now a famous archl tect, whose taste he had a hard time forming." ' ' "Tbe little boy, it seemed, cared only for the sensational in literature. Jack Harkaway and Dead wood Dick seem ed to him the very topmost pinnacle or literary excellence. He yawned over the splendid historkvl works his father read to him. "One day, however. Dr. Kaje had a gleam of hope.- The little boy brought him a volume of English history and said: - - ; ; i "'Will yon read me some more oat of this, please? x : i " 'Why, ; certainly, my boy,' the father answered cordially. . 'What part would you like to have? '"Read me,' said the little boy. 'about Mary, queen of Scots, getting ber head cut off and tbe blood all running down her back" , - .

"A riot, " said Maggie,, speaking up like a little drum major. ; A "Possibly," ; said the teacher, "but that is not what 1 mean. ' Tommy, you' may take the question. Three bananas among three boys that would be one banana apiece for each boy. Now, three bananas among seventeen boys would be what? ' '.-'.'."'.' ' "Three " bananas, mim," answered Tommy. v v .v ' "I know, -but three into seventeen Is" said the teacher. t -' '-- ' "Three bananas would go into seven teen boys once and none over," said Tommy.conGdently.' .v . : It was then that the new teacher re signed. uar per s weeiuy.

It is our purpose to meet the heeds of the people for a practi cal education. We aim to train useful citizens for agriculrural and mechanical pursuits rather than for the professions, and our courses in agriculture, forestry, domestic science and arts, civil, electrical, mechanical and min ing engineering, commerce, pharmacy and in other lines are adapted to the needs of the masses. v "There are many districts in Oregon without high schools: in others the high school work ex tends through only one or- two years. I None of the high schools offers courses in agriculture' and very few provide any training in mechanics or in the domestic arts. y Yet the great majority of the people of Oregon are engaged in industrial pursuits and need vocational training a knowledge of the things with which they are to deal in life. "The rapid growth of the in stitution and the increase in the number of our students show the appreciation of the people of the state of the value of the special training that is given here and also illustrates the im proved ability of the families of Oregon to send their young men and women to college. The in creased incomes are the result of better methods in farming and the cultivation of the crops that pay best It is gratifying to know that the , majority of our students go back to the farms from whiph they came and most of the '; young women - become farmers' wives." v ; - William E. Curtis. TRESPASSERS.
