patiently for a chance to press the
button when there were no people
passing in front or along side of the

case. Crowds came and went and
Mr. Coffey's patience must have
been woru to a frazzle before he ac

The man np near Medford who has
only eight acres, all in orchard, and who
has refused $5,000 an acre for it, did not
need a large farm to make money, says
the Journal editorially. Nor he isn't
worrying about a panic. As he will get
$2,000 an acre for bis crop this year, and
perhaps can do abont as well every year,
be refused the $40,000. And there are
tens of thousands of acres of land just as
good in Oregon. But men just as good
may be scarce.

Hobos are going south in large num

clime, and in Albany, Sunday sight
several houses were entered and the 0.
& E. railroad ticket office was robbed,
the immense sum ot eight cents being
taken from the till. One train brought
in 25 of these gentlemen of leisure, who
were locked in box cars and promptly
shipped out of town. Because of so many
of these idlers being abroad just now, it
might be wise for Corvallis citizens to
keep their doors locked and take a few
extra precautions.

A circumference of 16 inches would
not be unusual ia masy localities for a
cantaloupe or a small pumpkin, bnt there
are few places outside of the Willamette
valley where 16 inch apples are" not
unusual, says the Capital Journal. 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.

The TJ . of O. college paper, "The Ore
gon Weekly," has toe following editorial
comment on the big game to be played
there tomorrow between U. of O. and
CMC: "OAC has much to gain. 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.' ''

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.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science has now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.
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.
