One unfon.nnate feature about the milk-condensing business is that, it does not help develop the industry of raising twine.

From reports that have reached Corvallis from, the various resorts where Corvallis people spend their summer vacations, it seems that deer and other game are not so plentiful as in previous years. Many a hunter will return at the end of his vacation empty-handed, while the friends who are accus tomed to being; "remembered" wili miss the yenif on that has fallen to ;heir lot in seasons past. A di(tir was called to the house of a lawyer. Sa'.Iv, the hired girl, was sick-i-hed. When the doctor was alone with the girl phe said: "I am not sick at all, but Mrs. owes me three month's wages and I will tay in bed until she pays me." "Will she pay?" asked the doctor.

Fear i already boinsr ixoressed that difficulty will be experienced! again this year, and in greater de gree, in securir g help to gather the hop and prune crops of Benton county. Help is so scarce in ail lines that, it will be little short of a miracle if enough laborers can be had to gather the cops in season. It is the habit of Coi vatlis and Ben ton county people to go to other counties where the hop yards are larger acd the ' j jb" lasts longer, and this is another reason why Ben ton county growers are uneasy in regard to help this fall. r. an.j urn.

An exchange discusses the absutb babit that prevails among men es pecially young men of pulling their trouser legs up, thus display ing a large expanse of flashy hose, to the disgust of those who have to witness the performance. The ex change says: "Why they should do this is hard to guess, as the patterns in most cases are loud and the quality of tbe hose very cheap. There is one satisfaction about open cars with the seats running cross ways. These unblushing youths are robbed of their privilege to make a display of their bad taste. They may defend it on the ground that they are saving the crease in their trousers. That makes it even worse, for a new crease costs but ten cents. Crease the trousers every day if necessary, but don't show ugly ankle bor.es and loud hosiery."
