A visit to Etnest Miller's home will add to the impression: ' The Albany Daily Democrat tells in a recent issue the story of a visit by one of its staff to a. little. home . near Knox Butte, in Linn county, of Ernest Miller, .in invalid, who for 16 years lias lain in one position in bed without the use of any portioin of . hi body from his neck down. Only his head and brain are normal." He has a good memory, reads with avidity when he can find someone to hold a'book or newspaper or maga zine in front of him and turn its pag es. Month after month he has remain ed in the same position since he was a : lad fifteen years old, without a-mur-mur of complaint except for the trou ble he has bro ight upon his patient mother. . What a lesson we have in the life of - this hero, for hero he is. Not a hero who has faced the cannon's mouth, not one who in the excitement of the charge has met a hail of bullets, not one who has done any of the great . deeds to bring him med."ls or titles, but in the quiet of his bed, suffering .. paroxysms of pain, Ernest Miller has become a greater hero than thous ands who have been lauded by rulers . or praised by generals. J What a lesson the life f of-Ernest Miller offers to those of us who en joy health and strength and yet re pine and complain that the world has gone awry and that our ships have gone astray upon the seas. Ernest Miller, with only a living head and an active brain, more helpless -than the babe a day old, might readily con vince us that for the use of an arm. ear, or a finger, he wonld be willing to suffer far more pain, -endure far more suffering, for then he could turn before his eyes the pages of a book or the columns of a newspaper could do these things alone, without shar ing that portion of his burden with anyone. Think of that mother! Imagine the hopes she had for her-lrd of 15; then the realization that, until his death he . would lie almost like helpless clay. Does it not make one feel small, use less, unworthy, to think of her and . ber thankfulness, her great thankful ness, that her boy has been spared to her, broken and helpless though he is? What a lesson we can gather from the Miller home, and what a pride we should feel that near ns lies patient and cheerful a hero worthy the praises of all mankind. CLOVER "FLOWER MIDGE. The following is published by re quest, some advice given by the U. S. department of agriculture in reference to clover flower midge: , Because of the fact that weather conditions during the summer and fall of 1915 were very favorable to the growth and late blooming of red clo- t vcr, it seems probable that an unusual abundance of the clover-flower midge, and possibly also of the clover-seed chalets, may be expected to occur dur ing the present spring. . . The clover-flower midge is a very ' small mosquito-like insect which lays its eggs in the developing clover heads. From these eggs hatch every minute, salmon-pink colored maggots, which feed in the young clover heads, absorbing the flowers and preventing them from bearing seed. There are at least two broods or generations of the clover-flower midge during each : year in most portions of the country. The clover-seed chalcis, which also affects both alfalfa and bur clover, is ft minute wasp-like insect, which lays its eggs in the seeds of red clover before they have begun to harden. In the case of alfalfa, the eggs are de-- posited in partly grown pods. The resulting tiny, whitish maggots feed upon the substance of the seeds, and a single maggot may destroy as three or four of these before completing its growth. Although neither the clover-flower midge nor the clover-seed chalcis in jures the leaves stems, or roots of the clover plant, they do ajfect the seed crop very seriously indeed, and as the price of clover seed has recently ad vanced rapidly, due no doubt to the light seed crop of the summer of 1915, a large production ot clover seed in the United States during tlie coming season would not only be very desir able but should under favorable con ditions of growth prove most profit able. However, if a good yield of seed is to be obtained, farmers should pre pare to fight both of the insects which have bcen'mcntioncd above. For this purpose it is recommended that the first crop of clover be cut premature ly, or, just before the plants have come into full bloom, in order thus to deprive the maggots of their food and prevent their developing into flics and depositing their eggs in the (lowers of the second crop, which produces most of the seed grown in this country. Nothing can be done this season to prevent the female midges from lay ing eggs in the flowers of the first clover crop, but if this crop is allowed to stand until just past full bloom it is probable that thousand of the young maggots will mature, drop to the ground, and complete their de velopment. This will mean a large number of midges to lay eggs in the second or seed crop. If, however, the first crop is cut early, when the whole field is fresh with bloom, but before any flowers have withered, the young maggots will be killed by the drying of the flowers and there will be few midges to lay eggs in the second crop, providing farmers will agree to cooperate in adopting this measure. The early cutting of the first crop is also effective against "the cloven- seed chalcis. . Extra copies of the above may bet secured at the Murphy Seed Store. MISFITS Stand by Albany College to the last ditch. A commencement speaker said that cant and slang are signs of mental deficiency. At one service the sermon was 39 minutes long, the rest 60 minutes. It's getting so one hardly knows whether one is attending a concert or a church service. We're all trembling - lest the Brownsville picnic brings rain this week. Two boys in an Albany family were talking the other day, when one said: "I don't like Rev. ." The other rushed to his mother and asked: "Can George go to heaven if he .doesn't like Rev. V H. B. Chess, a Lebanon lawyer, ought to play a good game in the profession. The way to compete with the cat alog houses is to beat them at their own game. Sell the same kind of' goods as cheap or cheaper than they do, and let people know about it. Attempted Pun. Corvaltis G .T.: Albany Students the goat. "O. A. C. Graduates Nany Linn Co. Students." Headline in Al bany paper. Evidently no boys among them. ' "Chic bathing suit arrests the eye," is the heading of some pictures in a Sunday paper. Sure enough; pretty near makes the eyes burst from their sockets. Thinking of Vacation. It seems to me I'd like to go Where bells don't ring nor whistles blow, Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don't sound, And I'd have stillness all around. Not real stillness, but just the trees' Low whisperings, or the hum of the bees, . . ; Or brooks' faint babbling over stones In strangely softly tangled tones. , ! ' . , ; Or maybe a cricket or a katydid, Or the songs of the birds in hedges hid, ' Or just some such sweet sounds as these To fill a tired heart with ease. If 'tweren't for sight and sound and smell, . I'd like a city pretty well, But when it comes to getting rest I like the country lost the best. 45omestimes It seems to me I must Just quit the city's din and dust And get out where the sky is blue And, say, how does it seem to you.
