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? He
ia the one man upon whom the
whole world depends, and of all
men, he is the man who should car
ry b hea:t of contentment, and a
face as radiant as the noondav sun.

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.

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.
