"A twin ear of corn was ex.
hibited on the street yesterday by
A. R. Locke, who grew it. Both
ears are perfect and are joined to a

Der Of the Albany College track

peared on OAC field in athletic

The short wheat crops in
Eastern Oregon are likely to dimin-
ish the attendance of students from
that section at OACthis year, is the
opinion of Harold Wilkins. who re-
turned Wednesday from trip be-
yond the Cascades. Crops in Sher-
man, Gillian and Wheeler, are
scarcely half the usual yield and
in making inquiries. helearned that
several former students will not re-
turn on that account. In the sec
ton he visited. he says there is a
general complaint with reference to
the crcpshortage. ~
His friends about town find il
hard to explain, but it is fact that
envelopes that usually enclose wed
ding cards are being received with
out the cards inside. Other of his
friends are receiving the same en-
velopes, addressed by the same hanc
containing the wedding cards O
Charles L. johnson, of the mathe
matical department at the college
The only explanation So far ad
vanced for the fact that some of hi:
friends are getting cards and en-
lvelopes and some only envelopes
is that Charles is so excited by hi
new estate that great aud uncon
trollable forgetfulness sometime
possesses him.
