TAXES .
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.

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

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-

If the billboard must exist the
voted at' their last-meeting to

from out of town taking part in

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

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?

"A riot, " said Maggie,, speaking up

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,

step with the progress of the
best institutions of the country.
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."
