father here, Raymond Henkle left
Wednesday for independence, en-
route to Portland for a visit at the
Fair. Saturday evening he de-
parts for San Jose, California,
where he is the successful propri-
etor of large drug store.
The Congregational Sunday
school picnic and festival held or
last Saturday in the Cooper grove
was one ofthe truly pleasant spots
in life. The day was such as only
the Willamette affords, and the ia
bles beneath the spreading oaks
spoke of generous hearts and a
prosperous country. The baseball
game between the No7pareils anc
the Elite resulted in tie defeat ol
the former.

wool from J. M, Porters farm i:
not to be part of the Benton ex
hibit at the Fair. 1t was to have
been used for the purpose, bu

shipped. An effort was made tt
stop it in Portland, but it had al
ready been baied for shipment anl
could not be separated from the res
of the lot.
On the first page of this pape,
is an article to interest every citi
zen of Corvallis and Benton. 1t i.
an article worth all the space it oc
cupies. It should be read, because
it bears on the welfare of every
person in the community. 1t re
lates to buying things of the hom'
merchant, and is especially apple
able in these days when so many
journey to the big Fair. 1t is es
pec;ally applicable also at all times
in all seasons and during all years
past, present or future. If you fai
to read the story, you will miss {
good. live thought, a thought vi
tai to the general welfare.
This is how a recently arrived
Easterner diagnosed the case ths
other day. Eastern people in grea
numbers come to the Fair. They
pass through part of Oregon be
fore they reach Portland. "It'
pretty tough, This is no place
for u.s. and other things of the
sort are what they say to each 9th
