We call the attention of eur citizens,
and especially the farming community,
to the following, which appeared in
the Eugene Guard recently:
The Eugene Canning and Packing Co
having resolved 70 make beginning this
year, have asked farmers and others to
plant vegetables for their use, offering 70
where for them.
There seems to be an impression that the
producer can aot make much by accepting g
these prices but siieii Is not the cas2.
Take tomatoes: ali acre Of ground viii
plant over z700 plants Now If each plant
gave a box of tomatoes GO lhs.4 whicf. is the
amount r.ised in California it would pay
1910 per ace, put it at oBe-half box, aad
some of our market gardeners here say that
it will well do that and You have S2Tu per
acre. OF eo3sise it takes work, but you are
we'll raid for that work.
Let q naaa who is suslmer following his
land plant il with the right kind of sweet
and he VIII make from S25 to $40 per acre,
much more than he could make from wheat
or oats and the benefit of good summer
fallow besides, but the corti must be worked,
and he does II at time lie has little or
nothing else TO do.
Let him plant peas and he get SIS per
ton for the-.l pods and all while they are
green and weigh heavy ana he Will make
from $50 TO $50 per acre according TO his
ground and all these things are an addition

start this mistress and the producers ard
laborers are the ones that viii receive 10
20ths of all the benefits and profits that are
made. The object is to do q very large bJsi-

Let the producers come IL ard get seeds

MIR. Aver and family living in the
suburb OF Lebanon were poisoned
Tuesday evening after having par
taken of buftermilil and canned straw
berries for supper. None of the fam
lily were able to go for physician, but
thealarm was raised and responded TO by
Dave Ridgeway who hasteued up town
for DR.. Booth. The DIR. found the par
ents aud one child in a pretty bad con-
dition but Eastened to relieve them
from danger. MIR. Aver attributes the
poisoning to the buttermiik, which is
not probable; the more reasonable view
eff the case is that they were poisoned
by eating the canned fruit.

THE GOLDEN RULE BAZAAR.


The fullest store we have ever seen
in Linn county, the finest assortment
of goods in the valley, outside of Port
land, is to be seen at the Golden Rule
Bazaar. Children never tire looking at
the immense stock and unique display
nftoys; the stock CT crockery. glassware
and chinaware is the wonder ahd admi-
ration of all who see it; the six hundred
pounds OF tea OF the choicest brand
and best flavGr, which the proprietor
has sold within the last year, has ere
ated a thirst for more of this excellent
beverage. While DIR. Price and other
chemists are wrangling ever the purity
of their baking powders, the Golden
Rule prize paking powder sells and no
questions are asked and no fault is
found as to its merits. A complete
line ofshelf hardware, lamps, tricycles,
baby carriages, etc, are to be seen at
this house. Don't spend $40 going to
Portland when you can see all
the above sights for the simple
cost of look. When in Albany spend
an hour in this great curiosity store
and you will always be glad that you
visited Gradwohi's Golden Rule Ba-
zaar. Albany, Oregon.

You have done more good than evil
anore right than wrong l know 1t is
gan astounding and unpalatabie SEN
ti'nent that an about to advance, but
ST has the recommendation of being
srue, if it is not popular. You may
Niisbelieve it, but you cannot disprove
1t. IL is this-instead of having done
more good than evil, if you are not a
Tenitent, q believer in Christ, a new
creature, so far as your moral nature
is concerned, you have done no good,
you have done nothing right. Your
moral acts and exercises have been all
.of one kind, and all evil, all wrong
When this is said, 1t is not meant that
your acts have been evil and wrong
in every sense of those words. 1t is
not disputed that you have done
right and good according to the SUI
bordinate Specification of those words,
but in the most important sense OF
those words, their Scriptural sense,
that sense of them in which they viii
he explained by God and understood
in the day of Judgment, 'you have
done only evil, and that continually"
This assertion, though clothed with
divine authority, may give offence, but
examine it closely, remembering
'..with whom you have to do" Right
is conformity to the rrle which God
9has given for the regulation OF human
conduct, that conformity having for
zits spring ans principle the love of
God, for its object his glory. Although
YOU may have acted in some things
agreeably to the revealed rule of God,
yet has your motive been his love,

reasons than that God requires, or doae
rather from fear than love. To do

suggestion of love and with desire
to glorify him. To do good is TO do
what ;is pleasing to God, but without
faith 1t is impossible TO please him."
There are no truly coed works, ac-
.cording TO the Scriptures, but those
auto which we are s.created in Christ

in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing"
Repentance in the case of the sinner,
precedes all acceptable obedience.
Take the case into the family for
practical elucidation. In the case OF
the rebelling subject or child, after
the first act of rebellion and dis
obedience it is all rebellion and dis
obedience up to the moment he repents.

with all who rebel against God. Com
slider the ingratitude as manifested by
you. There never was such case of
ingratitude before, and suppose there
never could be another like it. God
never so loved any other world as to
give his Son to die for its inhabitants.
Such goodness does moi exist to lead
other sinners to repentance. The
intervention of tile Son of God to save
rebel mon renders his case peculiar
and will render his condition here
after peculiar. He will rise to the
highest in heaven or sink to the
lowest in hell. He is the only sinner
that ever received call to repent and

The forming of dairy association
ANA the establishment OF a dairy farm
has been discussed by the farmers and
business men of Linu county for
several weeks past. The plans of the
association were published in the Al

jecror Of that enterprise. In convar-
sation with that gentleman this week
he told rs that the Willamette Valley
is admirably adapted to tlairying. The
matter has keen eanvassed by the
