It is to benefit in tbe widest pos sible seuse the people ' who read it and who jjive it their support. It is to make itself an agent of civilization and prog ress. What a newspaper is for is to keep others from doing wrong. It is in this way that it conserves its own interests and affairs, the reward to which it is en titled. It is through its ceacern for the welfare of the people that it gains the in fluence and achieves the power that makes it indepen lent of any obligations save that of fidelity to its high responsi bilities.

Over a carload o! ths latter will be packed. . The student3 in the agricultural department are also to be allowed to specialize in their . chossn line of agriculture this year, whatever their choice may be, which will undoubt edly result ia great good to the students. Any man or woman doe's better wo-k if, allowed to follow his or her natural in clinations in choosing the kind of work to be done. Therefore, the student thus encouraged to follow his natural desires iu his college labors-can be counted upon to become more thorough, ia specializing in his favorite line, than he would if compelled to adhere to set rules and take tbe course as it is prescribed.

Every bill outside of a few incidental t: aveling ex penses will be paid through the student body treasurer, Registrar Tiffany. Such accusations as those of Jack King will, as a result, be impossible in the future. The money received will at once be turn ed over to tbe treasurer, and when the bills are presented, vouched for by the manager, the treasurer is authorized to pay them. In this way the managers will have nothing to do with the hand ling of the money, immediately after the gate receipts are collected. For handling tbe fund the treasurer receives three per cent of tbe total, and of course is made responsible. This year the student body fund should amount to nearly two thous and dollars. Guard.

It would appear to a causaal obeerTer that seme of the citizens of the rural neighborhoods in Benton would. have sufficient public spiiit and ambition to send in items from their locality regular ly ea:h week, thus securing free adver tising for their vicinity, letting people know that their neighborhood is progres sive and attracting the fnotice of new comers to ! their section. Of course it means news for the Gazette, which is only fair, but there are many other rea sons why a good "batch" of news items from a locality each week is of benefit. The county and in fact all Orenon is full of strangers and home-seekers, and how can a stranger learn more about a locality and learn it easier and quicker than by reading? Be up and doing, with an eye to your own interests. Tell ol the new-comers in your midst; tell of 1 the property sales; the, condition of the crops; the improvemants being made; the new mills or other businesses being eetablishea in short, tell all there is to tell of news and enteiprise and ba very sure that items sent will be fruitfu: not only in benefittine; tbe Gazette, but in arousing interest in the locality f.om wb:ch they come. Lit ua hear from you. AU liens is welcome. Miss Laona Marvin h48 accepted a position as bookkeeper aud collector for the Independent telephone company.
