Maybe you are too young, or too old, to have received in the mail to day one of those lacy, pink-flowered affairs, with little cupidt cavorting around. If you are a school teacher, or a crabby professor, or a fat man, or a slim one, you inight have been Uic recipient of a remembrance In the torm of a funny verse or comic car toon. Then you'd have known that to day was Valentine's day, without The Guard's having to tell you. Custom, more potent than any other author known to man, has de creed that St. Valentine's day, which in our calendar falls on February 11, young folks of all sezes and oldr ones too should exchange missives ami epistles, either comic senti mental, or both. Times bsve not changed much since the days of quill pens and expensive postage, if we are to Judge by the valentine displays In Kugene shop windows. Swains three centuries ago had to content themselves by sending their fair ones some gilt-edgo letter puper envolopcs were unknown with some gold cupids floating around, surmounting a few lines of the fa vored formula saying that because the Tose is red and violets blue, the recipient is a sweet mama or words to that effect. Not so today. Send her a $10 valentine bouquet with that verse on it and ehe'd say "Apple legislative matters, were the principal facts brought out in the address giv en by 11. C. Harlow, Pomona grange master, In bis address last evening before members and visitors of the Four-Oaks grange which entertained a number of state officers. A large crowd attended the meeting. A bas ket supper was served at 6:30 o'clock. Willakeusie and Irving granges both bad representations to help welcome the visiting officials. SI. II. Cilover, state overseer of the Oregon grange, Mrs. Minnie Bond, state lecturer, and Sir. and Mrs. Oh ling, the latter a member of the state grange home economics committee, were special guests for the evening, nad gave several addresses on grange work. The Four-Oaks grange will hold its next regular session on Feb ruary 27. , LAI CATTLE PASS GOOD HEALTH TEST Now there is nu good custom with out a reason. But the reason cannot be found in the life of the good saint who decorates the day with his came. He wrote no love songs. No one rises up to sccuse him of going on petting parties with Itoman maidens, lie was n bishop or popo of Itomc who stood steadfast to that faith dur ing the Claudiun persecutions, and for his faith was cast into.jnil. where he cured his keeper's daughter nfl blindness. Ktymologlsts say, however, that "v' and "g" were frequently inter changed in popular speech in the early days, and that the Norman "galnntin," meaning a devil . among the women, got changed to "vnlnntin." That explains it ,nud it probably ex plains "Valentino." ' From Samuel Tepys, famous Eng Hbh diarist, we get the fh-st record of a drawing or Illustration connected with the day. This under dnte of February 14, 1007: "This morning fame up by my wife's bedside little Will Mercer to be lier Valentine, and brought her name writ upon blue paper in gold leterB, and done by him self very pretty." Introduction of cheap postage of to day laid the foundation of the pres ent flourishing trade In valentines, tho manufacture of which furnishes employment to several thousond per sons every year. Cheap postage is also responsible for the comic valen tine, a hideous bit of caricature, that was popular several years ago. JafoiT-pue T in But the conrtc vitU'Dtine is pflHfung out, nccording to Kugene merchants. No longer does dnd receive the mis sive from 10-yenr-uld Johnny calling him the gnat, or the school teacher a contribution dubbing her an old maid. Humorous valentines can be found aplenty, but they are of tho modifiej form, the use of which has also ex tended to Chrlstmns and New Year's day. Speaker Tells of Aims of Grangers An outline of the. relations nf ro ntons grange to the subordinate and state granges, and a plea urging the state granges to coopernto in all "I.ane county cattle ure compara tively free of tuberculosis and the tests here show better than in a ma jority of the counties of the state," according to Dr. F. H. Thompson, stock tester for the federal bureau of animal husbandry, who has started testing herds in Lane. Dr. Thomp son announces that arly stock owner who deBires tests of his herds to leave his name and address, and num ber of cattle in herd, at the office of the county agent. Dr. Thompson has been testing rattle recently in Mor row county. The cattle of Lane have been tested and retestcd several times and traces of tuberculosis have been eliminated wherever found, the doctor states.
