One train brought in 25 of these gentlemen of leisure, who were locked in box cars and promptly shipped out of town.

O. A. Muths of Lincoln brought in a Gloria Mnndi apple yesterday that measured over 16 inches in circumference and placed the specimen en exhibit in the board of trade rooms. The apple was grown In the orchard at Lincoln and its parent trees, like many other trees there, produce many bushels of fruit nearly as large. One Corvallis merchant recently ad vanced the novel aad no doubt original idea that bis trade was so geed and in creasing so rapidly " now that he did not believe he need do any more advertising for a .while. He had been advertising generously ever since he went into buBi uetse, hiuu accounts ior bis present prosperity. On being presented with this side of the argument she wisely . dec ided that he woaui continue to put a notice of bis Koods before the public in the Gaz ette, and there is no douot that his trade will continue to inciease until he will need more clerks to baudie the business. Let no advertiser get the idea that he has advertised ' enough.'- As long as he is in business just so long will he increase h.s profits by constant, judicious adver tising in bis home newspapers.

We have much to loose. Our record tnus far is splendid. Out of the eleven games play ed bdtwetui the two colleges seven have been won by Oregon, two by OAC and two have been tie games Since 1897 the 'Agrics' haye not lowered our colors. For two years we have practically held the Northwest championship. However, the game we look forward to each year lor the hardest fight, the game that stirs every student and faculty member to help by word and deed to win, is the an nual contest with OAC. Let the "Ore gon Spirit" which in the past has put a college of 300 on a par with greater in stitutions and which, at the last moment, has changed more than one defeat into victory, pervade every part of the Univer sity. Now, and whea the two big teams line up Saturday, let the loyal, all-pull-together-spirit of Oregon be eyident. Al so, w bile we prepare tor victory let us be big enough lor defeat. Let us iu the words of Bruce Shorts, 'either be gener ous winners or game losers.' '' In order to clean up lumber yard betore starting his mill, Sam H.

Corner 13th and Harrison streets. 92-5 Wideawake, energetic business people realize after one visit to OAC the great advantages offered tttere for advancement and culture, and thereby hangs a tale. At Waldo Hall a young lady named Hel liwell, from the vicinity of Yoncalla, is making her home and attending college. She comes ot a good f imily and her par. ents are of the progressive clavs. A few days ago the father came to Corvallis, bringing a younger daughter to college, but he was obliged to return home on the next train. After making the usual in quiries the second young lady found she could not enter as a full-fledged freshman, and on advise of the Waldo Hall sister, took the next train back to Yoncalla, ar riving as soon or a little before her father had reached home. But she did not stay. The parents realized that the college sur roundings meant much to the young daughter,' whether she took a full or oaly a sub-f rest-man course, and the next traia to Corvallis brought the young lady back to Waluo Hall. . In a couple of weeks another daughter, a son-in-law and a grandson from the same family of Helli wells are to register at OAC for courses, and Mrs. J. B. Horner, matron at Waldo Hall, laughingly admits that she would not ba surprised to have the parents appear almost any day, to take np their abode. It has all come about through the clear-sightedness of these parents who recogaize a good thing when they see it, and are progressive enough to desire their children to have the splen did advantages offered at the Oiegon Agricultural College. The story is worth the consideration of other parents.

A few yeara ago, when a sufferer ircm indigestion went to a stomach specialist, the reaalt was a rigid diot list that almost meant starvation. But the first thing to do in the case of indigestion or , etomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines, so that they will care fur the food that is eaten. In co other way can this be done aa well as by taking a Mi-o na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, so that the fond is digest, ed readtl; and its nourishment retained ia the system to onild up energy and vitality. Do not think the sick headache, heart, burn , bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleepless Less and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of indigestion, will go sway of themselves. The stomach must be built np and strengthened by Mi- o-na before you can be well and strong, free lrom suffering and distress. Tbt guarantee that Graham & Wells give with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless the remedy cures, shows their confidence in the treatment.
