In runny localities the guinea hen Is considered as a kind of a novelty or nuisance ahont the place. It does not seem to be thoroughly well understood that the eggs of the guinea ben are highly valued by bakers for cake mak ing and that the young guinea fowl will bring the highest price of any broiler upon the market, says the Feather. If more attention were given to the selection of the breeding stock, preventing too close inbreeding and providing a separate house away from the chickens for the guinea fowls, their cultivation might become more general and profitable. Guinea hens may be taught to live almost the same as chicken hens. The trouble experienced from keeping guinea fowls in buildings or poultry houses is the overpowering Influence of mites and lice upon them. They are much more easily destroyed by lice and mites than the chickens. The young of the guinea hen scarcely exist at nil when once attacked by lice or mltos, which quickly destroy them. Guinea hens live out in the open, build their nests or select their nests under an old stump, a stone or in some out of the way place. When once they locate their nest and lay a few eggs therein they continually remain about the locality, and it is not difficult for this reason to locate their nests and take from .thTjvmrt of the pjrjs.

When either of these are permitted to hatch the young guineas it is well to confine the mother and young as soon as the young are hatched and keep them near at hand, where they can be looked after and properly fed and cared for a short time until the young guineas become of a size that enables them to follow the mother about. , Chemistry, Practical and Theoretical. "Young gentlemen," said the lec turer in chemistry, "coal exposed to the elements loses 10 per cent of its weight and heating power. This is due to the action of the alkali con stituents of" "But whnt if there is a dog sleep ing near the coal, professor r "None of your levity, young man. This is a serious matter." "That's what father thought when 72 per cent of his coal pile dis appeared during three nights of ex posure. Then he asked my advice as a student of chemistry, and I told him to buy a dog. He bought a dog with bay window teeth and the stringhalt in his upper lip, and now wo don t lose 1 per cent of our coal a month. That's the kind of a prac tical chemist I am. Now go on with your theorv." Work to the Office. OAS MUST WIM. Championship of the World Stake Monday Night. at Next Monday night there will be an exciting time at the college armory. The Crescent ; Five basketbaU team, champions of the world, will be here and go np against the OAC team, which now has the title of Uudeteated Champions. ' The Crescent Five won the championship of the United States last year, and have been undefeated this year. They are making a tour of the United States and Canada and are now considering a proposition of ex tending their trip to Hawaii. ; Every player on the team is con sidered a star. The O AC boys are not wast ing a moment's time. Besides their regular practice "Did" Trine has given them light prac tice of nights during the week, rounding them into perfect shape lor the trying ordeal. This game will without a doubt be the fastest and most interest ing game ever played oa the Pa cific coast and Northwest. And there promises to be the largest crowd to witness it in the history of OAC. An excursion will be run from Albany and is expected to bring between two and three hundred people to cheer the OAC boys. Manager McCallister savs the team that defeats those boys will have to go some. We are not figuring on being, defeated and we do not expect to be. It is not necessary to go into detail in giving tbe record of each individual player on the team. Every one of them are stars. Now citizens, students and friends of the old OAC, come out and see for yourselves which star shines the brighter, the Eastern or the Western. The game will be called at 8:io. Doors ooen at 7. Con cert bv cadet band. Feb. 22nd, 1857 Feb. 22nd, 1907. The home of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Seely was the scene of a nap py family reunion in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of their mar riage. Four generations were repre sented at me banquet, tdat was served early in the afternoon. A little child of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Oberer was the youngest guest. Several beautitul and appropriate presents were given the "honored ones." Those present were Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Seely, Mrs. Betty Williams of Washington ' Co.. ; Miss Marie Alien ct Alsea; G. A. Seely, wife and children of Cor vallis; E. G. Williams and wife of Portland ; T-S. Creson, wife and children of Corvallis; Mrs. F. J. Oberer and children of Falls City; J. C. Woods and wife of Corvallis; Mrs. W. Hadley and Mrs. W. Davis of Portland: Mr. I and Mrs. W. M. Crees of Corval lis. The last named couple are old "tried, and found true friends, of Mr. and Mrs. Seely. In the evening the young peo ple of the family rendered an ex cellent program oi songs and recitations, that proved to be one of the most enjoyable features ot the occasion, and one that appeal ed most strongly to the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Seely. On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Crees informally entertained Mr. and Mrs. Seely and their children. Light refreshments were served and "the hours sped all too quickly" in social inter course. Mr. and Mrs. Seely were married in Iowa, Feb. 22, 1857. The next year they moved u Wisconsin. Mr. Seely eelisted in Company M, Third Wisconsin Volunteer Cavalry, and sere almost tour years. While in ser vice, he was wounded, and h still suffering from the injury thai has almost incapacitated him from manual labor. They moved to Kansas from Wisconsin, and thence to Oregoa about 1888. They resided tor some years in Alsea. f It is a pleasure to greet this couple, who, while wearing the crown ot many winters, are lin ing a life of youth and Summer time, and who have endeared themselves to their friends by their kindness, cheeriness and sterling worth. We wish for them a happy re union oa their diamond anniver sary. Read the LessOn. Reverting to the lower grade work, Mr. Inglis witnessed an impressive scene which convin ced him of the wholesomeness of Hawaiian school life. He de scribes it in this graphic lang uage: Out upon the lawn marched the children, two by two, just as precise and orderly as you can hod them at home. With the ea"se that comes of 1 jng practice the classes marched and counter manded until all were drawn up into a compact array facing a large American flag that was dancing in the northeast trade wind forty feet above their heads. Surely this was the most curious, .1 !! most aiverse regiment ever drawn up under that banner tiny Hawaians, Americans, Brit ons, Germans, Portuguese, Scandinavians, Japanese, Chi nese, Por'o Ricans, and Heaven knows what e'se. " "''Attention !' ' Mrs. "Fri- zer com manded. The little regiment stood last, arms at side , shoulders back, chests out, heads up, and every eye fixed upon the red, whi e and blue emblem that waved protect- ingly over them. "Salute!" was the principal's next command. Every right hand was raised, forefinger extended, and the six hundred and fourteen fresh, childish vcic:s chanted as one voice : ''We give our heads and our hearts to God and our country ! One country! One language! One fiag !" Tne last six words were shot out with a lorce that was explo sive. The tone, the gesture, the gazs fixed reverently upou the flig, told their story ot loyal fer vor. And it was apparent that the salute was given as spontan eously and enthusiastically by the Japanese as by any of the other children. There were hundreds of them in the throng, and ; their voice? rang out as clearly as any of them, their hands were raised in unison. The coldest clod of a man who .sees the children perform this act ot reverence must feel a tighten ing at the throat, and it is even more affecting to see these young atoms from all the world actually being fused in the crucible from which they shall issue piesently as good American citizens. Laughter. To laugh long and hearty; to tingle with intense excitment; to sit spell'uound with rapt atten tion; to have the tears well up in his eyes in heartfelt sympathy, are some of the expressions of the emo'ions that make lite worth the living. This is the kind ot en joyment you get when you see the production of "A Cowboy's Girl." At the opera house Sat urday niht, March 2nd. To Trevcni Bovrel' Vrbnwr It has been said that if dry wheat brau is used as a covering for the floor of a feed box and if nothing but a dry grain ration is fed to the young chicks and pure water and grit are set near by for them it will prevent bow el trouble. In addition to these, some use stale bread ground small in a cof fee mill and some fine ground chop. Tills is a meal made of equal parts of oats and corn ground fine with the oat husks sifted out and fed In the bran. These are said to be the safest remedies against this trouble In poul try in hot climates. VETOED BY GOVERN 3.1. Pare Food and Voting Machine Bills Given Quietus. A dispatch from Salem under date of February 26,. enumerates bills vetoed by Gov. Chamber lain. Thev are as follows: S. B. 198, Beach's voting ma chine bill, was knocked into a cock hat. It provides no ma chine costing over $coo shall he considered, in his veto message on this bill the Governor says: 1 am forced to the conclusion that there are no machines that might cost more than Soo which could not be considered because of that limitation, even if one of them might do the work of two at the lowet once. It smacks of an effort to legislate in the in terest ot one or more establish ments with low-priced machines. and I cannot give it my assent. The officers named in the bill are just as competent to decide as to the price as they are to de cide as to the quality, and how ever meritorious the bill may be it ought to be defeated unless it vests the authorities with abso lute freedom to do what is best for the state .after models have been submitted aud the bids are all considered." . H. B. 293, by Beals, created the office of dairy and cheese Inspector. This was vetoed be cause the governor holds the duties imposed by it should be performed by the present dairy and food commissioner and fur ther because the appointive pow er is not left to the executive. Kay's bill. S. B. r:7. which provides for the garnishment of wages ot state employes, was dis approved for two reasons. First, because the state has not con sented to become a defendant in actions against its employes, and, therefore, the bill would be in operative; and second, the Gov ernor savs the bill is not in line with a sound public policy. He says the business man ought to know the credit and standing ot those to whom he extends credit without harrassiner the emDloves of the state with the matter. H. B. No. 40. by Northup. amending the code relating to the redemption of property, was vetoed because there were two bills bearing on the same sub ject. H. B. 21. bv Tackson. orovid- ing a closed season for salmon on the Umpqua, was vetoed for the reason that it was covered by the present statute. S. B. 77. bv Hodson amend- ii' atory relating to the sale of wa ter under tne uarey act, was vetoed on the cround of coinoli- O - cations that were feared from its enactment. The p-overnor also vetoed the Johnson road law, and the pure tood law ot the same senator. The governor is usinp- his veto power seemingly without fear or iavor. In Union is Streugth. In January of the present year, Lhe retail merchants and grocers of Oregon met in Portland and perfected a state organization. By some oversight Corvallis was not represented. Mr. C. C. Mer rick, the state secretary, spoke to S. L. Kline as to the possibility of a local organization being formed in Corvallis. Mr. Kline realized the value of commercial benefits to be derived from such a union, and with the hearty co operation of our business men has pushed this move until a city or ganization, in the near future. has become an assured fact. The importance of such an or ganization is apparent to every business man, and great credit is due Mr. Kline for his untiring efforts to bring about this union. The following mtrchacts ard business men have, signified their willingness to join a Retail Gro cers' and Merchants' Association. S. L. Kline & Son, J. R. Smith & Co., Welcher & Bertnan, R. M.

One of the most enjoyable so cials of the season was given last Saturday evening, by the ladies of the W. R. C. The program was as follows: All joined in singing Amsrica. Rev. Hurd gave a short sketch of the life and work of Washing ton; duet, Mesdames.,Blackledge and Farmer. T. T. Vincent gave an excellent talk cn Lincoln, fol lowed by a solo by Mabel Hubler. Rev. Feese reviewed the lite of McKinley. Patriotic solo, Mr. White; recitation on McKinley, Master Kale; recitation, "Hats Off," EUa Felkin accompanied by a flig drill by six little girls; reading, Mrs. Thcrp; Loyal solo, Blanche Hammel; recitation, "How Betsy Ross Made the Flag,' Besie Hubler; solo, Janet Black ledjje; recitition, "Washington," Kitty Kyle; recitation, Josie Holmes; duet, Florence and Har ry Djwliog; nationals anthem by all. The informal social hour, that followed the program, was much enjoyed, and many words of ap preciation were heard in favor of the efforts of these loyal women to entourage patriotism and loy alty in the hearts of the young, as well as their kindness to the old veterans, who are Hearing the "last roll call." They have assisted materially in furnishing the Old Soldiers' Home at Roseburg, and are ever ready to aid any worthy call for help. Facts of the Case. Considerable hot air has been generated concerning the pioneer bassetball team ot Whitman college that they are the Cham- pions of the Inland Fmpire, and that a game with OAC would give them the championship of the Northwest. When manager McCallister was asked why OAC did not play Waitman while out on the tour. he said: "We tried to arrange a game with the Whitman team but they were not inclin-d to giv us a game, as they were not in the best ot ?hape. But we de feated Pendleton high school by a score of 63 to g, aud Pendleton high school defeated Whitman 14 to 13. So you can see by these scores that tbe Northwest championship is not likely to be snatched away from OAC even though we should succeed in ar ranging a game with Whitman to be played on OAC floor." A Cowboy's Girl. Sparkling and bright as pure water, as entertaining and inter esting as a letter from home, more instructive than an entire college faculty, and as funny as a fanny page of a Sunday paper, ?.s the concensus of opinion of both press and public as regards the new play, "A Cowboy's Girl," to be seen at the opera house tomorrow night.
