A LIFE THAT INSPIRES.
'The following editorial from the
Oregonian is one that cannot help
nuking a great impression on those
who read it. 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.
