Won Renown with Short Course Stu dentswhat the Latter say ' About It. Er. Times: Saturday, Tsnuary 28th, being the first day of practical work, in cheese making, the boys of the O. A. C. short cjurse, in dairying. were unable to leave their work to go to dinner. However they were not forgotten by the ladies of the Grange. Two young ladies beaming with smiles and carrying between them a basket filled with good things to eat, appeared at the cream ery. In that basket was snow wbite bread, buttered with sweet butter in which the fragrance of clover still lingered. ' Between each slice of bread was delicious ham that made the boys think of home and the pie, "just as mother used to make" thepumpking three inches thick, apple pie with crust so . brittle . and rich that it melted in the mouth like maple su gar. - .:' - - The boys appreciated the good things, and since the "way. to the heart is through the stomach," we acknowledge our hearts captivated. Short Course Class ' 05. Mr. and Mrs. Tryon were called to Albany last Monday on account of the serious illness ot Mr. Trjon's father. MANY THERE. At Big Religious Heeting in College " Armory Sunday EVENING. One of the biggest religious meetings held in Corvallis in a long time occurred in College Armory Sunday night. About as many people as the big auditorium could accommodate were "in attendance, j All the seats on the main floor were filled, and the galleries were crowd ed. ; The occasion was one of a series of revival meetings that Rev. Ray Palmer has been conducting in Corvallis. , All the ministers in town were on the platform. The choir numbered 25 singers, ; with Otto Herse as leader. An anthem by the Presbyterian choir and a duet by Mrs. Lake and Mr. Herse were parts of the programme. A very pretty feature was a vocal solo "Jesus Lover of my Soul", by Miss Jones of Jefferson. Rev. Palmer's sermon was, how ever, the best feature 'for the big audience. Its delivery occupied more than a n hour but the theme held every listener interested until the last- word was spoken. The text was from the i4th verse of the 14th chapter of Job "If a man die, shall he live?" Dr. Palmer answer ed the question in the affirmative, and with fine analogical reasoning sought to prove it. Many f his arguments were ingenious and all were forceful. His apparent effort was to compress a great deal of discourse in a small space of time and words fell from his lips in a torrent. The meetings are to be continued every afternoon and even ing throughout the current week. IS DEAD NOW. Old Corvallis Shoemaker Died at Stockton on the 25th John Webber.
