Let the good people of Oregon
be thankful today, that they live

one enjoys the best Of health, and
where the bracing mountain air
and beautiful weather make life
a real pleasure the year around );
let them be thankful that they
live in a country so grand and
free, where there is plenty for
all and to spare; that they are
not confined within the narrow
limits of a smoky citywhere want
is seen on every side and where
povertyand vice go hand in hand;
where to be poor means endless
toll and deprivation without the
slightest hope of ever rising
above the common herd; let them
be thankful. that here, as nowhere
else, q poor man has a chance
aleng with the rich Of attaining
to something in this life beyond
the lot of the day laborer, and
though a man be poor, he is free,
and not looked down upon. Let
them be thankful that they live
in a country where extreme pow
erty is hardly known and where
to-day the members of every
household will assemble around a
bountiful spread and not a soul
will go hungry let all be thank
full for the many privileges and
much freedom we enjoy which is
denied many people in less favor.

for. these many blessings let us
not forget the poor and needy,
the sick and afflicted of other
places. Before we give thanks
for our own good fortune let

of giving someone else something
to be thankful for. Let US not
be at one with those who

LEARN TO EAT.
Few People in Corvallis Really
Know How.

Slow eating will solve one-half the
problem of ill health. Those who suffer
already with indigestion and weak stom-
ach can with care and the use of Mi.o-na
stom ach tablets restore their digestion to
healthy condition, SO that they can eat
what they want at any time without fear
of distress or suffering.
After a few days use of Mona stom-
ach tablets, the headaches, dizzy feeling,
drowsinsss, bad taste in the mouth, coat
ed tongue, nervousness, sleeplessness,
distress after eating-all these symptoms
of weak stomach-will disappear, and
perfect digestion and good skin will
show that the vital machinery is once
more running smoothly. -...s.. y.
Take little Mi-o.na tablet before each
meal so that it will stimulate the digestive
juices and give strength to the stomach,
and then it will take care of the food that
is eaten, without Indigestion and the un-
pleasant full feellng with which so many
suffe- after meals. ... ..- .--r
Graham & Wells have so much conf
dence in the power of Mio'na to cure
indigestion and all stomach ills that they
give guarantee with every 50-cent box
to refund the money If the remedy fails
to give satisfaction.

3 POWER OF DECISION.

Ability to make a quick and
correct decision concerning any
subje ect upon which we must de-
eide is a possession which every
one should seek to gain. Our
success or failure, not infre-
quently our lives and that of otk-
ers, depends upon our ability to
decide questions quickly and ac-
curately. There is not a day,
scarcely an hour passes that we
are not called upon to decide
something which, just as we de-
eide, shall exert a shaping, possi-
bly, a controlling influence upon
our destiny.
Men have long regarded this
ability to decide quickly and ac-

FRUIT CROP OF OREGON.

To show our people how rapidly
Oregon fruit is taking front rank
in the markets of the world we
gladly publish the following item
from the New York Tribune
Farmer bearing date Dec. 5th.:
"On the basis of reports from
county inspectors, the value of
Oregon's fruit crop this year is
officially estimated at 81, 275, 235.
This figure, far in excess Of any
previous year, is based on
amounts actually received by
growers, and represents an in
crease of So per cent over the
fruit crop valuation of last year.
ITO the high price now paid for
Oregon fruit is partly due the in
crease in this years total, but the
larger acreage set out in orchards
in response to Eastern demand is
also a factor. The heavy plant
ings of the last fewyears are be-
ginning to bear, and the further
increase in the rapid value of the
crop will probably be very rapid
in the future.
According to the president of
the State Board of Horticulture,
the success with which Oregon
growers are meeting within a
