his necessities We're so great But I
told him I was used to being robbed
and he had done me all the harm he
could, so his turn to pluck me natu-

Then I softened, as always do to-
ward the claimant Of the other part
and added that we were on the same
footing-I had been a pensioner my

"Sire, I thank you," said Bellenge-,
having shaken the wallet and poked
his fingers into the lining where an

TiIIage and Thrift.

This afternoon | rode over that
part of Monroe county between
Amory and Smithville. This is a
we'll cultivated aud therefore a
productive section of country.
Signs of thrift are all along the
way. Artesian wells, hay pre- ,ses
at work bailing hay, good barns,
painted houses, piles of barn yard
manure already hauled out for
next year and other piles under
shelter about the lots, and last but
not least we'll kept orchards. Near
the home of Mr.. Allen are eight
thrifty pecan trees eight years old.
They will come into bearing in a
few years, and be the delight of
his children many a happy evening
about the family fireplace ,-that
is if he planled the right kind,
and then he will wish he had plant .
ed eight hundred instead of eight.
These pecans are in the middle of
a patch of second crop Irish pota
toes that were green aud growing,
this the first day Of October
though there has been no rain
here since July 25th. How do you
reckon it happened9 A neighbor
of Mr.. Aliens gave me the ex-
PLANTATION. He said Mr.. Allen
broke the land twelve inches deep
and plowed it frequently all the
spring and summer up to planting
in July and had plowed it frequent
ly ever since. This neighbor said
he treated a patch as near like
Mr.. Allen as he could aud that
now when he turns over a clod he
finds moisture under it. He said
this had taught him two lessons +:
/. 1t is not moisture we so
much need in this country as
blowing to preserve it.
End. That he will never be in a
hurry to plant, but take time to
prepare the land.

young Ben Davis apple tree bear
ing its second crop this year. 1t
has now about a bushel Of apples
on it "without spot or blemish or
any such thing" they are beau
ties. Just such as [ have seen six
weeks later in southern Nevada
and northern Arkansas. Just
such as our dealers are now pay
ing $500 apple for in Memphis
aud st. Louis. Mr.. Wax has
already sold 500 worth from this
tree. But what about the care
Of the tree? 1t showed it had
been "digged about and plowed
around. Oh yes, there were no
weeds about this tree. 1t needed
all the moisture and fertility it
should get to ripen and retain
these big red apples, and there
was none to spare for weeds. Mr..
Wax told me he sprayed this L
four times with Bordeaux mixture,
said he had no spraying pump,
but made him one out of some big
cane joints after the fashion of a
boys squirt gun. He said he
could squirt a stream to the top of
a tree twenty feet high with his
cane spray. He told me also that
this tree was much overloaded and
that he thinned the fruit. Then |
thought of a young man | know
| who has a nice apple orchard try
ing to come into bearing aud from
which he should haye hoped to get
a money crop this year, yet he
neither thinned nor sprayed,
though he had a good spray pump
rusting In the weather, and about
the only cultivation his trees got
was the annual spring plowlng.
| Blessed is the man that mixeth
his work with brains.

A Comedy of Errors.

The City Council at their last
regular meeting rescinded the or
dinance for the paying of 81 per
meeting to each of the council
men and the mayor. The abb
surdity in passing such an ordin-
ance has made the situation ridic-
ulous in the extreme and the po-
sition of the city fathers rather
an embarrassing one. The or
dinance passed by the council
some time ago fixed a salary of
81 a meeting, or a total of $40
per each time they met for trans
acting the city affairs. That
there is no such passage in the
city charter is needless to say.
If the ordinance had proven solid
it would have included back pay
for over 900 eouncilmen and 81
mayors. If they had the power
to salary themselves 81 per meet
ing, they also had the power to
raise their salary as high as they
pleased. AS a result the council
men and mayor have been twitted
to such an extent over their &C
ton that at the last meeting they
were only to glad to have the or
dinance rescinded and to serve
the city free gratis.

BY BERT YATES

Harvey L. Fryer left Sunday for
his home in Carlton.
Jas. R. Chambers, who has been
on the sick list for about a week,
left Wednesday afternoon for his
home in Kings Valley.
John Buster is spending a few
days at the home of Dave Gellatley,
and from there goes to Alsea, in
time to hang up his stocking on
Christmas Eve.
Dick Tom, of Alsea, last week
brought in some fine specimens of
sugar beets, raised from seed obtain
ed last spring at the College. He
reports an abundant yield and that
they make fine feed for milch COWS.
Wednesday afternoons train was
crowded with students starting to
spend the Christmas holidays at
their various homes. Among those
who left were G. G. Cate, E. D.
Wetmore, Roy Greer, A. Airth,
Henry Salvon, Marion Stokes, J. C.
Clark, Rae Walker and Thomas
Fritchard. ..
w. N. Shennefeld in a recent
letter from Los Angeles states that
there are two other former o. A. C.
students in that city, Bert Wills
being employed as conductor on
a street railway, and Jas. McTim-
monds is just recovering from a
severe attack of malarial fever con-
tracted over two months ago in Old

Linn County Holy Rollers.

A colony of Holy Rollers has
started in to make Linn county
and Albany famous, having per-
1nanently located il a house on
the Anna Beach place, in the
hop yard, just over the river
from the ferry.
Parson Cremeld, the old-time
leader, returned on Friday last,
and is now in command. Mr..
Campbell and West Seely, with
the two Seely sisters and Miss
Sandal are with the party.
Frank Hurt and wife have also
taken up their residence with
the Linn county squad.
Up to the present time very
little disturbance has been caused,
the party carrying on their wor-
ship with but little noise.
But events are likely to occur
in a few days, if the Rollers be-
come IN any way aggressive, that
will put stop to any further
proceedings on their part. Mr.:
Crefield will be provided with
nice, warm coat, that will fit
him as closely as the paper on
wall, and that will contain more
feathers than the wings he prom
ises himself when he reaches the
place where the holy roll is kept.
He will also be given walking
pass out of this locality, and a
warning about returning that he
will do we'll to heed.
This is the program outlined
by some desperate and determin-
men in this vicinity, and there is
no doubt that it will be carried
out.
