In .la a great feed, he declares, and goes on to say : "It will not be 'long until the leaves and items will be ground into a meal and alfalfa bread will in a great measure take the place of milk in a well-balanced diet. I know a man will not think favorably of such food for himself and family, but it can be made very palatable. It may to some extent takes the place of corn bread. If for any reason a scarcity of bread stuffs should occnr ia tha United States and meal should go up extremely high, I be lieve that alfalfa bread would be used pretty extensively, provided, of course, that the alfalfa crap were not a failure at the same time. The seeds could not be used, at that would be too rich lor a per son's stomach. He would soon die upon the meal made froja the seeds. It is i the stem and the leaves that will be used." The predictien is made by' Dr. D. F, Luckev, state veterinarian of Missouri. WANTED All kinds of sewing. Inquire at residence of Floyd Lane.

Corvallis weighed 157 stripped and the Columbias ls5. OAC made good gains by line bucks, but invariably fumbled or fouled, and was frequently penalized. Tbe visitors could not get around The Dalles' ends. Tbe forward pass was used freely by both toams. OAO tried three times for a place ;kick from the 20 and 30-yard lines. The kicks were not block ed, but tailed to make the goal. Fifteen hundred people witnessed the game and there was great enthusiasm for the horn e team. Many Corvallis students whose homes are fh The Dalles saw tbe game. Tbe Dalles played faster ball, though OAO snowed better team work." Coach Norcross of Corvallis made the Qfatfl npnt jifbor the St. Vin- I uvmvv Rent's game: "We were well treated and the officials were unusually good, cor vallis was fortunate in fumbles, securing most of them, although tbe men mmoiea to St. Vincent at three crrtjeal etases. While I believe we should have had an other touchdown in tha last half, I am well satisfied with the result; We were unfortunate in losing C iptaia ' Pender graas, who was retired early in the first half with a dislocated shoaKlerbut Bar ber, who rer laced him, played a good game. The warm weather was respon- lible for Corvallis not scoring more points. The men were not used to play ing under such weather conditions and showed they were trained to the minute by coming out of the game as Btroog as they did. Corvallis showed her tootbal' .bilitv bv solving all of St. Vincent's forward passes and trick plays. Allot the men plryed good games." Journal. Established 1864. Large Blue Sign the Place. SALE lis Week I Never before have I J Mr. and Mrs. John McCbesney and two children came over from Albany, Saturday, for an over Sunday visit witb Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Underwood and tw children.

Sixteen years auo on the 25tb day of November, there occurred a double church wedding in tbe first M. . church ot Albany, in which two well known Al bany young couples were united in mar. riage by Kev.

The favors should oe returned by tbe the turning in of items of news by the readers.
