Motherhood.
Oh ! cacredness of motherhood !
'Tis partnership with God !
If her great work were understood,
Her path more gladly trod ;
If peace and joy could fill her heart,
And hers be self control.
How grand, bow glorious her part,
With God to shape the soul !
Let her who at the altar stood,
A loved and loving biide, .
Welcome the hope of Motherhood
And lift her head in pride,
For w by shoo Id the shrink as if in shame?
Or hide in fear her head ?
H ath God axtolletl His work in vain ?
Hath wisdom from Him fled?
Nay, our Creator is the same
Today, as long ago,
When He from Heaven in wisdom came
Ob woman to bestow
The greatest gift that God could give
(While angels wondering stood)
'Though she the life of virtue live
He gave her Motherhood.
Let her who would the ballot wield.
An equal she with man,
That she from sin her loved may shield
Believes it was God's plan
That she should thus protect ber own,
And like a shining light
From all temptations 'round them thrown
To make their pathway bright.
Rem em ber there is greater sower, .
Than by the ballot given, -
Far she may, froin its earliest honr
Incline that'life toward Heaven.
Well might she stndy hard and learn
To mold the life within,
And make it hard for him to turn
From God to paths of sin.
Oh 1 that more women of today, -
Like Hannah, long ago,
Fer motherhood would gladly pray
And when the gift they know,
Wo uld coBsecrate that life to Heaven,
And worship at God's throne;
Then would her greatest power be given,
Her greatest joy be known..

Newport Business Men Seek Lo

The Yaquina Bay News says:
"How did the ; fire originate?
J -A-welesfr smoker aad cigar; cci

is certain and is, that there was
neither stove or chimney in the

did the fire start?
"Stoker's meat market lost, no

"The Palace Market opened up
in tbe alleyway between the bank
and the telephoae office. Any

U OF 0. OAC GAME.
Played Basketball in Eugene, Sat
urday Night.
The OAC basketball men went
to Eugene, Saturday, where they
played the TJ. of O. team that
night. The score was 29 to 21
in tavor or Corvallis. in re
gard to the game and to the OAC
team, Saturday s Register bad
the following to say:
The reputation of the OAC
team is widely known. In fact
the Corvallis college has won
greater fame through her basket
ball team than from any othei
branch of athletics. They have
been champions or Oregon ana
the Northwest for years and have
twice defeated tbe best teams ot
the East. This year, . however,
they are somewhat crippled ow
ing to the loss of their great (trio
ot players, Swann, R 00 per and
Bilyen. Bar Foster, : the giant
and WEBXTE
center, and Reed and Rinehart, '
me maicniess guaras, are sun in
college, and they form a nucleus
about which Trainer Heater has
built up what he hopes to be
again an invincible team.
Tonight they will be put to theft
severest test, for their old rival
the" UniversitoTreg'on, "has'
turned out the speediesc and most
consistent team in her history.
Coach Muiphy has proven him
self to be an efficient basketball
man and with a bunch of individ
ual star players, he has developed
a team that works with machine
like surety. Moore, Watson, Van
Scoy, and (Ramp are forwards,
more than ordinarily active and
quick of foot, and as accurate
goal throwers as ever played in
Eugene. Hathaway, Farming
ton, Charman and Strong are
guards of tbe first rank', and
Coach Murphy has great faith in
their ability to keep down tbe
OAC score. " In Loosely and
Stevenson the varsity has two
centers over six feet and even the
renowned Foster will have diffi
culty J in throwing baskets over
them.
CANNERIES FOR WILLAMETTE
Every Town Should Have One,
Says President Newell The
Big: Rally.
Up at college chapel Satur
day morning was held a horticul
tural raUy that was one of the
most enthusiastic meetings of the
presen t "Sb ort Course' ' term at
OAC. W. K. Newell, president
of the State Board of Horticul
ture, gave a splendid address on
"The Canning Industry." He
declared there is too much mar
gin between tbe producer and
consumer in relative cost, a con
dition that should be altered
by co-operation in regulating val
ues by which producer and con
sumer may reach a satisfactory
basis ot operation. The speaker
urged the people to have no fear
of engaging in the fruit industry,
declaring there was do danger of
glutting the market.
The West should can enough
small fruits to supply at least the
home or Western nurket which
now depends upon the East,
Mr. Newell emphatically de
clared -"there is room for a can
nery in everv Willamette valley
town," "and urged the people to
engage in this industry.
The address of H. "M. William
son on '"General Horticulture"
was full of excellent practical
suggestions. He said tbe census
of 1900 showed that of the grain
WITH SHOES
farmers of the country 47 per
cent owned their farms while 78
per cent of the fruit growers were
home owners, dairvmen being
third on the list in percentage
of owners of their homes. In
this connection it must be borne
in mind that the average fruit
aTrTis"onTy aBbut "half as large
as the average grain farm, ' yet
fiom the figures quoted it ap
pears plainly that the fruit man's
profits are much larger than those
of the grain grower.
In the East the average year
y income per farm, in New York.
is $1,100; in the West it is, $800.
The difference is ascribed to the
fact that in the more populous
East tbe tracts of land owned by
each farmer are smaller and are
therefore better cultivated and.
cared for, which proves that in
tensive rather than extensive
farming is tbe kind that pays.
Mr. Williams urged enthu
siasm along horticultural and
agricultural lines and gave spe
cial praise to farmers' institutes
and other meetings of the sort
that have a tendency to arouse
the farmers' interest in these "in
dustries.
The farms should be brought
up to a standard whereby the an
nual income per acre would be
$50, which could be done by
cutting down the farm in size
and giving greater care to fewer
acres. The speaker said that
city men were eager to secure
fruit land and locate in the coun
try to engage in this work, since
it has long ago been demonstrat
ed that it requires fully as much
education and intelligence to be
a successful horticulturist as it
does to be a business man in
other lines and the fruit man can
not now be distinguished from
othet business men.
He advised young men to
adopt horticulture as a life work,
and urged that farm homes be
made more attractive and home
like, more on the order of the
homes in .good old Englrnd
where the homesteads are nanded
down, generation after genera
tion from father to son, and the
young people therefore take a
deeper in the farm because they
expect it to become their own in
later years. -
A. H. Carson, commissioner of
horticulture, delivered an in
structive address on ''Growing
Grapes in the Willamette Val
ley." He said that this was gen
erally considered an industry
difficult to handle successfully in
the Valley but that this idea was
erroneous. Tbe grapes, he said,
could be successfully and profit
WAY
ably grown if given proper study
and attention, the same as one
would to any other industry.
"Any of our Oregon soils with
a depth of two or more , feet, and y
that are well drained are adapted ,
to grape growing," said Mr. Car
so?-. A ,goldwe tlsoiUsLJbe,
avoided, as the grape will not
thrive there. Our hillsides and
slopes are usually naturally
drained, are warm, and as a rule
are better adapted to the growth
of the grape than a level flat.
The varieties to plant must be,
determined by the prevailing
climatic conditions of the fruit
zone in which one lives. Tbe
hardy American varieties, such
as the Concord, Wordea, Niagara
and Moors Diamond, will live
and thrive where the more ten
der European varieties such as
the Tokay, Muscat, and Malaga
would fail. From a commercial
standpoint Mr. Carson places the
Concord first, stating that if he
were planting a ten-acre vine
yard he would t plant eight acres,
in Concords and divide the other
two acres between the Worden,..
Niagara and Moors Diamond.
The vineyard can be planted any--tlme
from . November 1 to April -.

UVU lUt IIS wuia.
not too wet, and tbe vines should.
not be crowded. No doubt in.
coming years the Willamette Val
ley will be heard from in this in
dustry as well as in other lines ot ,
horticulture.
