| The farmer who is content with av.
erage crops sold in the average condi-
tion must expect only average prices.
/, He who produces anything and puts il
on the market in prime condition is
the one who is going to make sales
first and get top prices. The averaga
man comes along later. No matter
what you have to sell put it in the best
possible condition for market, and see
to it that you can adopt the same motto
that we once saw in a barrel of apples
in the East; ,Whensthe head was taken
out of that barred there was exposed "a
printed slip which said: ''This pack
age was produced and packed by John
Smith, who guarantees that when you
see the top you see the whole" The

package was opened the buyer knew
just what to expect from top to bot
tom. Wetknow farmer who takes his
grain to market and dumps it where
ever the buyer. tells him to and is then
asked how many bushels he had. His
grain is never looked at nor weighed
by the man who has bought lit for
years; if it is not in good condition he
insists on inspection, but il he knows
it is all right he unloads and gets his
pay. A reputation of that kind is
worth more than good farm, for it
brings greater return. Honesty is
not only the best policy, but it is abso
lutely necessary to final success. Care
lessness is the costliest habit.a farmer,
can fall into, and trickery, while it
may seem to succeed for time, must
cost more than it comes to in the end.

self to visitors about the college grounds

fourteen feet, and with the well adjoining it
that is about half as large, it is expected to
| furnish an adequate supply, of water for all
purposes of the institution.

REV. HOSES RETURNED.

Mr.. EDITOR
I have Just returned from Oakland, where
our annual conference was held The con
ference was well attended by both its mem-
bsrs and the laity. The ministers were in
fine spirits, and the various reports showed
that there were advances along all the lines
of church work. A corrected roll of mem
bership showed that there had been a gain
in members of II per cent during the con :
ference year just closed. Some new men
were recei 7ed into the conference, and will
begin work at onco in this inviting field.
But few changes were made in the pastoral
charges; both preachers and people were sat.
isfied with the work and the workers I
was returned to Corvallis for another year.
Two years ago l was sent to your city as
preacher in charge, without my solicitation.
I am with you for another year. Am here
to CO operate with all the pastors and
churches and Christians in pressing forward
the good work for which Christ established
his church. The cordiality and co-opera.
tion of say own charge, and the kindness
and liberality of the people generally give
me great hope for the future, and have
brought me under warmer obligations to
work for the chief good of ALL Permit me
to express my hearty thanks to all, fer their

Powell did not have a key that would

the stranger and became Interested in tho

the lock pooh poohed. Powell looked in-

The discussion of the question of opening
the lock became pretty lively. The man
with the key offered TO bet $50 that he

WANTS THE WHITE MULES.
Tho Dnks Of Marlborough Negotiating FOR
the fsmou. Four Horse Team Owned
by Kansas titypna

Unless negotiations now pending come
TO an unfortunate end the four milk
white tnulcs belonging to Robcrtann
Bros" of Kansas CITY, which created
such sensation when driven to n four
in-hand drag at the horse show. will
soon become the property OF the Duke
OF Marlborough, who is now In this
country. And at some not distant date
this team will bc driven through the
streets of London by this young man,
causing even the blasc citizens Of the
metropolis to pause and wonder.
Every one who reads ncwspa pers
knows That the duke is the young man
who has come to this country To- marry
$4,000 900 aud Miss Consulclo Vanderbilt
Ne for th" mules everyone within a
radius " ljo miles Of Kansas CITY knows
OF them for they were one Of the fea-
lures OF the karuival krcwe paradc
The fact that the duke is to purchase
the mules Is vouched for by one OF the
best known men Of Kansas city. He
has recently returned from n visit TO
Lexington. Ky. While there he met the
Young duke. it was at the race track
They were with the same party, and
during the day spent some time in com
menting upon the vehicles 10 be seen
around the race course. one peculiarly
odd team was a pair Of white mules,
hitChed to a farm wagon This at
tracted the dukes attention He pointed
TO 1t and said: "tf | could find four
such mules as those | would take them
back to England with me and drive
them to n four-in-hand."
Several hours later the Kansas city
man was talking TO Budd Doble. the
famous trotting horse trainer, and he
told Doble the story. At the same time
he told him that Robertson Bros. OF
Kansas City, had the finest team Of the
kind on earth. This gave Doble an idea
He thought he might make some money
by acting as the dukes agent. so he
called on the gentleman and asked him
IF he wanted four white mules. The
duke assured Mr. Dohle that nc was
sincere In his statement, and Doble
promised to secure the animals at rea-
sonahle price. Within nm hour n tele-
gram had been sent to Robertson Bros.
At Kansas City, asking them TO forward
n photograph of the animals and also to
state the price that would buy them.
Tho photograph was sent to DOhle sew
eral days ago and is in the dukes poa-
session by this time. The people Mt the
Kansas city end OF the deal are not
saying much, but the story leaked out
yesterday morning and was confirmed
by the business man who is responsible
for the negotiations.
