Cut Off Your Trousers Buttons.
The Button!ess Suspenders Now
Take Their Place.

Six, trousers buttons now become
as superfuous as the vermiform ap
pendix. After making centuries of
trouble and placing men without
nun Der in p.rplexing predicaments,
they can now 60 out of business for
all time.
The new buttonless suspenders
differ from the familiar form only
in the substitution of clasps for the
leather ends; but these clasps are
of a peculiar pattern, neat, nick!e
plated, with grip like a bull dog s
yet warranted not 10 tear the cloth.
Cast-offs both in front and in the
back are provided, so that it be-
comes necessary to open, the clasp
only when the suspnders are
changed from one garment to
another. This operation, however,
is just as simple as unbuttouing the
straps.
Nolan Il Callahan have secured
the first 100 pairs of suspenders to
come to Corvallis, and they are on
sale TODAY at heir store at the in
troductorv price sc cents.

RAILROAD WRECK.
Two Corvallis People in a Railroad
Smash-up on Southern Pacific.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkins, who
have been residing in this city
tor the past year, left last week
for years visit in Iowa. They
were ON the south-bound train
that passed through Ashland on
March 20. When they arrived
at Mott they received orders to
hold the train until the track be-
low was cleared of freight
wreck that had taken place that
morning. The orders were in
some way blundered and the
train started south. When they
reached the freight wreck in Sac
ramento Canyon, south of Mott,
the south bound overland, ran in
to the engine that brought the
wrecker up. J. Sunski, a car
repairer, had one leg nearly cut
off; Geo. Hudson. another repair
er had his head cut and his teeth
Knocked out, while B. Couley,
section man, suffered slight bruises
about the head. The engine
pulling the southbeund passenger
was damaged about the front end,
the wrecker engine was smashed
mp in the rear, and the cars that
had just been placed On the rails,
were thrown off the track. The
injured men were taken at once
to Dunsmuir and placed under
medical attendance. None of the
passengers of the southbound
train were injured, but all were
pretty we'll shaken up. After con-
siderable delay the damaged loco
motive pulled the train to Read
ing and our friends arrived in due
time i'll San Francisco, without
further mishap.

an upright piece five inches wide con-
caved, for the front of nest, nailed to
the bottom, 12 inches from the back
end. They should be made interchange

one, let her have her own nest, by
moving hen and nest together, into
either row you wish. The doors are
made seven inches wide, hinged to sides
by large screws, and should, when
closed, leave the open space at top and
bottom equal.

ABOUT COMB BUILDING.
1t Does Not Pay to Let Bees Make
Their Own Foundation.

Their Own Foundation.
The man who allows his bees to build
their own foundation is merely wasting
the time of the bees. Sometimes it
seems like spending a great deal of
money that might be saved to buy
foundation, but it is really economical
to do so. Honey comb is made OF
practically pure wax, and this is, in
fact, the fat of the bees. 1t is IN Ter tn"
scales of the abdomen and may be seen
there if the bee is put under glass of
very ordinary magnifying power. This
wax is pulled from it's place by the claws
of the bees and worked into comb and
this operation takes time that is lost
when the colony might be storing nectar
if the foundation has been furnished.
No man has been able to make founda
ton that is as soft and pliable as the
comb the bees make, but a pretty fair
imitation is made that answers all prac-
tical purposes.
When honey comb is first made it is,
as every one knows, sweet and perfectly
palatable, but as soon as brood beg ms to
be grown in it, each embryo weaves 4
thin cocoon that is never removed, and
the cell becomes smaller and the comb
darker with each succeeding brood
hatched in it. This makes the bees,
grow smaller and smaller, and such
comb should be cut out and melted down
for sale before it gets too dark to find
a place to keep them.
Where sections are used the comb is,
of course, removed often end sold, and
here is where the most profitable use of
foundation comes in.-Journal of Agri-
culture.

other bills. Especially is this true of their
gents who cart their pianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to

about $40 on a piano by buying in large carload
lots Do you think that makes up for the
above EXPENSES? We are in position to sell
cheaper than any large firms and the way our our
customers are i creasing gives evidence that
people are finding it out. Beware of spec

always make profit on our pianos and never
give anyone special price, or sell to you for

The TrimbIe Bill.

Commenting on the bill of Repre-
sentative Trimble, of the It'll Ken
lucky District, which is designed for
the relief of the farmers and tobacco
growers of the United States, pull
lished on the first page Of the GOLD
LEAF this week. the Raleigh Post
says this:
This is very attractive bill on its
face, but needs to be carefully cOnsid-
cred in all its BEARINGS before unquali-
fed endorsement is given.
The result of the measure. should it
become IL law, would be
TO repeal the tax on tobacco, or
dealing therein or on the manufac-
lures thereof. SO far us the farmer
handling his own product is con
cerned, but not as to the regular
manufacturer or WarehOuseman.
1t will confne the farmer to dealing
in and manufacturing his own pro-
duct only. but should he let Il drop of
mOlasses or licorice get MKT up with
it he would then be subject to the i'll
ternal revenue tax and revenue Of
ficerS
1t would tend to seriously injure if
not destroy the warehouse business
where the growers now has the adj
vantage of open competition between
buyers, and subject him to the merci-
full manipulation of the pin-hoOker.
Under present business conditions
and methods, when tobacco, chewing
or smoking, is sold by registered or
well known brand, to the farmer
would have hilarious time trying
to sell his ''hOme made twist from Il
basket like he does his eggs.
1t is the best proposition for the
benefit of the trust that has even
been made, so far us proposed legls-
latiOn is concerned, and, between The
pin-hOOkers the trust manufacturers
the last state of the tobacco grower
will be infinitely worse than the first
or the present.
The present tax on dealers in OF
manufacturers OF tobacco is not eX
cpssivp. The regulations for the salt
Of the leaf places the growers pro
duct where it must be sold to buyer;
in competition witlIeach other so fiil
as such competition exists, unless liz
should assume the risk of dispOsins
of his crop to a licensed dealer ''a1
the barn rather than give such buy
ers as may desire chance to bid Oh
it on the floor.
This new proposition, if enacted
into law, would not help the grove
sell his ''twist" or his unsweetened O
undOctOred tobacco, but would sub
ject him to the raid and misrepresen
tation of the perapatetic pin-hooker
or the shrewd representative of TIN
trust or antitrust manufacturers.
Wecan see no good in Congressman
Trimble's bill. However, as it pre-
poses to give ''the farmer create
freedom in managing his crop, an
has the appearance of shifting til
trust, it will doubtless prove ''poI
ular;;" and as there are many NOR
people engaged in growing than i
manufacturing tobacco and running
warehouses, and this being campaig
year the climax of statesmanshi
must be the ''prOtection of the fa1
mer.' against himself as well as tn
trusts,
We publish the letter. however, S
those of our growers who may wis
to send petition can do so.
