If the farmer isn't a prince, then it's his own fault. He has his own cream fresh from thecow, his straw berries from the patch, his eggs from the coop, his water from the stream, his vegetables from the garden, his own meat, his own flour, wood and home. If it came to a pinch, he could make his own clothes and shoes. In what other walk ot life can thi- bs done?

One of the most popular places in Corvallis the fourth was the moun tain water faucet at the Graham & Wells corner, Several cups had Deen placed there for the conveni ence of the thirsty, and from early until late the cups weie in demand. A placard placed over the faucet j bore the inscription "Corvallis Mountain Water," and none whoi drank failed to note the splendid, sparkling beverage that is Corvallis' pride and to remark about it. The fact of this faucet being so much appreciated is a strong . plea for more drinking fountains in Corval lis, at convenient places, whether they be expensive or only plain, serviceable affairs where man and beast may quench their thirst. Ned Smith carries his right arm in a sling since Wednesday night, when he figured in the capture of a runaway horse. The latter ran from the Vidito livery stable barn, with harnesc: oti and lines dragging 1 It ran on the sidewalk for tomej distance on Main (street and on other! side streets, frightening people near ly out of their wits and attracting large crowds who watched the out come with interest strongly mingled with flight.

It would seem that before another celebration rolls around there should be laws formulated to put a e top t J such things as bombs being used. The small firecracker is an noying enough, but when it con to firing bombs that fairly jar the earth and endanger life and limb, it is time to cail a halt.
