| Now is the time to boom Ben
tton county. The Lewis and
lClark exhibit committee led by
H. L. French is securing the
county for samples. Although
the year is dry, considerable prog
ress is being made and good
samples are being secured. The
dry weather has been general
throughout Oregon, depreciating
samples some but Benton county
Exhibits compare favorably with
those of other counties, though
hardly as good as other years.
These samples cover the whole
category of Benton's natural re-
sources, mineral, vegetable, ami
NAL, mechanical and otherwise,
whatever will boom Benton
county will enter into the list.
There will be samples of coal,
stone, ore and clay. Lumber
and cabinet woods will be proper
ly displayed, while the exhibit of
fruits and vegetables will be
practically endless.

Manufacturing Company is max

butter and cheese. F. P. Sheas-
green is constructing a beautiful
show case to properly exhibit the
honey of the county. These are
examples of what is being done
to start the ball 1olling. What
is needed just now more than all
things else is little more enthu-
siasm on the part of the farmers
in preparing samples of grain,
fruit, butter, cheese, etc. Of
course many have not heard that
the work has been going on, but
a campaign of publicity is being
started calculated to wake every
body up! If you have good
samples of anything, no matter
what it is, drop H. L. French a
card at Corvallis and he will call
and get it. 1t means thousands
of dollars to YOU. There are
about twenty varieties of grapes
in the county, and it is very
much desired to secure good
samples. Let those who have
good grapes send Mr.. French
word. Early apples are being
canned, and the work in general
is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible.
An interesting experiment is
being tried by wide-awake, 13-
year old boy, S. H. Moore, just
west of town. The experiment is
with cucumbers, with view in
mind of making them grow as
large as possible. The largest is
now IS inches long, with the pos
sibility of its increasing in size
still more. The young agricul-
turalist expects to exhibit his pro-
duct at the Lewis and Clark fair,
The raethod employed is to par
TALLY fill an old barrel with fer
tilizer and earth, and keep the
plants we'll watered.
1t has been known for many
years that squashes will grow
more rapidly and become large,
by feeding sweet water OF milk.
This is done by making a small
incision in the stem and putting
a common straw in it, with the
other end in pan of milk. The
squash will drink large quantitie:
of extra nourishment in this way.
| The exhibit will be taken te
the state fair at Salem and thi:
looming winter the whole will be
moved to Portland and placed II
position for the Lewis and CLARK
fair next year.

count OF the first appearance Of the
boil weeyil in North Carolina i'll the
following news item:
.'The Mexican boil weevi' has struck

of cotton from which the bloom was
about to shed and ravages OF the boil
weevil were plainly evident The bloom
was cut to pieces very much after the
order OF the corn worm and the small
boil was also affected. Mr.. Ihorre
discovered the bloom and says his
whole crop IS similarly affected. He
has six acres in cotton from which he

SELE-MADE MEN.

We have all heard much about the
self-made man from our earliest recol-
lection. The self made man has always
been held up as a safe man to follow,
for having carried out his own way
and directed his own interests wisely
and safely, he becomes the ideal man
to lead others. All this Is good logic
and the self-made man does IN most
cases merit the confidence OF others in
whatever he attempts for the public
good. Having trained himself to the
very best thought for the highest pos
sible success, it becomes a part of his
life to pursue safe and sound policies in
whatever he does, either in his own In
terests or IN the affairs of the public.
Two such men the Democratic party
has nominated to head the national
ticket, Alton B. Parker for President
and Henry G. Davis for Vice-Presdent
The Raleigh Post sketches their
Career briefly thus:
"Judge Parker had the advantage Of
poor father and learned Industry Oh
the fai m. Alter d term at an academy
he went to teaching school. He be-
gan early in life to help himself and
has been constantly at it ever since.
He married early in lite and 1t was in
beha!f of relative OF his wife that be
first engaged in politics. From that
day his wisdom and political sagaclty
has BEEN known and recognized, and it
constantly grew until to-day he wears
the highest honor q political party can
give. His position Is a monument to
Els own effort. He is a seif-made man
"Hon. Henry q. Davis, candidate for
Wee iseaiient, began life as farmers
sen, but forsook agriculture Tor posi-
ton as a railroad brakeman. He was
soon made agent at an important sta
ticn ana later engaged in com merciai
pursuits with his brothers, building up
great business and amassing a for
tune. His services have been of ines
tiTabie value to bis State as the pro-
moter O good works and his popularity
rests upon most secure foundation
"'uch IN brief are the two men for
whom the Democratic party asks the
support OF the people. In character
and fitness they are surely deserving Of
the best that can be given them.
s'They are self-made men,"

SCOTLAND NECK TCH E s
GASTONIA.

Last week we printed Editor Mar
shall's statement in tie GastonIa Ga
zette that his subscribers had sweet po-
tatoes from last years crop and were
also making potato custard from this
years crop. We called upon HALIFAX
county to match it ; and While some OF
our readers seemed little skeptica
about Editor Marshall's statement, We
assured them that he is a truthful
man and we pinned to what he said,
however long the stretch OF faith.
But Scotland Neck matches Caste
mia, for yesterday Mr.. Bennett Ais
brook sent the editor of The COMMON
WEALTH half dozen beautiful sweet
potatoes and two nice canteloupes, all
of this years crop. He mentioned In
a note that he could match the Casio
mia man, for he has old potatoes from
last years crop In the slips which he
saved for seed.
So THE COMMONWEALTH claims for
Halifax county are made good IN Mr..
Allsbrook's contribution from his crop
of early potatoes. This, too, opens the
Way for others to let it be known what
they can show in the way of early pro-
ducts and the large amounts per acre.
By way of stimulus to corn cul-
ture around .Gastonia, we remind Edit
or Marshall that Mr.. n. Biggs makes
seventy-five barrels Of corn on three
acres about every year.

LIFE UNDER WATER.



Jules Verne has been vindicat ted His
dream ship. which for generations has
been voyaging under 10000 leagues OF
imaginary water. has at last become
a reality-a submarine fact. 1t has
been demonstrated to the satisfaction
Of the United States navy that Captain
Memo and his tabled Nautilus have
been eclipsed. or. in nautical phrase
submerged by modern submarine tor
pedo devil, the Fulton. which recently
spent comfortab bic night on the bot
tom of Narragansett Bay.
On the night following the speed and
firing tests. 1t was decided that the
Availability test should be made by
submerging the Fulton at the bottom
Of the bay This was the first test
ever made under naval supervision to
determine whether men can live aboard
a submarine boat under water as safe
ly as they could in Newport villa.
Cooking utensils as we'll as reading

and necessity We're installed on the
Fulton during the afternoon. and at

with nine men aboard. One Of the first
impressive features of the experience
was the distinctness with which sound
was conveyed to the party under wa
ter. In the small hours of the morn
Ing the crew were awakened by near
ing what was afterward explained to
have been the Fall River liner Plym-
outh touching at Newport Ell route
from Fall River to New York.
Although the Plymouth did not pass
within mile Of the submerged Fulton
several Of the submerged party were
awakened by hearing her ploughing
| through the water Prior to retiring
for the night the water-imprisoned
company had an excellent meal, which
was prepared on board, and after the
boat was submerged. All the cooking
as we'll az lighting was by electricity
and had 1t been necessary the boat
could have been heated by the same
means.
The air reservoirs were filled to theil
full capacity or IoTly CUBIC Ieel, ahu
when the Fulton rose to the surface al
11:O6 a. m. after being under water
for twelve hours and twenty-three min
utes, there was hardly perceptible
difference between the air Of the sub
merged boat and that of the surface
world
AS result Of these tests the nava
board Of inspection and survey will
recommend the expenditure of the
$3.50, 900 recently appropriated by Con
gress for submarine destroyers OF the
Fulton type. This means that the
United States soon will have notilla
