interests and delights him. Where

he loves to .linger. Every flower
face and every blushing rose is an
invitation to him to bide among
them.
We print costly pamphlets and
send them broadcast telling of the
wonders of this wonderland of
Oregon. We advertise and we
sermcnize on our resources and
we urge the homeseekers to come.
Yet the one thing that is a means
of most powerful inducement to
them to remain is often overlooked,
and that is the beauty possible Of
producing with flowers and roses.
And here is the point in these re-
marks. There are children and
grown up people in Corvallis who
are wilfully destroying the flowers
and roses in the door yards OF
home owners. Three little girls
IS or IA years old invaded a yard
last night about 1890 o'clock and
nearly robbed bed of its blooming
hyacinthys. Without permission
and with perfect disregard of their
rights in the premises, they stole
into the place and tore the flowers
from the bed. The lady of the
house heard them and when she
appeared they fled just as sneak
thieves flee and just as burglars
flee. 1t was an outrage because
the people who plant these flowers
want them for the beauty the
flowers give to their places. They
do not want them torn up an car
ried away.
Nor Is this the only instance.
There are complaints all the time.
The effort to beautify the City Hall
park met with even worse dis.
couragement. Grown up people
tore up by the roots and carried off
highly priced shrubs and flowers
that had been procured at consider
able cost and great patience. The
practice was carried on to such an
extent that the effort to keep the
park beautified is about to be aban-
doned. =
In the case of the three little
girls, thoughtlessnese more than
downright meanness is probably
the explanation. Children cannot
be expected to know all that
grown folks know. The wonder
is, cannot all people in town be-
come interested in the encourage.
ment of a Corvallis beautiful.
Cannot the children be taught the
idea, and be made little guardians
rather than little marauders of the
flower plats. Cannot the public
school teachers, the college instrt1c-
tors and parents all join in a move
ment for making Corvallis a sight
ly town to see? We have the
best town in Western Oregon. we
have the most delightful site for
a town with the most beauti-
full, surroundings, can we not add
these artificial touches when nature
has given to us so generously?

Corvallis Times
CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APR. 2, 1907
Albany and Corvallis.

An Albany fraternal order came
to Corvallis last Sunday to worship.
The visit was an expression OF
good fellowship. Itwas an incarn-
alton of friendly relation. The
exchange of friendly visits by the
fraternal orders in the two towns is
frequent, 1t is the embodied alb
sence of feudism and the disappear.
ance of hostile rivalry. The fpetty
rivalries common to towns and cit
les similarly situated as are Cor
wallis and Albany, are silly. They
are too small to be encouraged.
There is room and plenty of it fol
both. There is enough trouble in
the world anyway, without the
canker worm of intertown. hostility
of which there are so frequent and
so illuminating manifestations,
There is scarcely ever excuse for it.
and never honor in feeding and
keeping it alive.
It is better in the sight of God
and man for one town to help build
the other up instead of seeking. to
drag it down. A cordial relation
is pleasurab1e for both, and the
feud relation bitter for both.
Mutual good feeling and kindness
is testamentary to the common
sense and the opposite signifies
more or less Of petty mindedness ir
both. zt
1t is good day for Corvallis
and for Albany when their fraterna.
orders lead the way for mutual es
eem. May all the good people
In both towns follow the example.

cident and few Remarks There

The cry in Portland is for a
beautiful city. The newspapers
there plead for adornment of door
yards with roses and flowers.
The movement everywhere is in
the same direction. People real
ize as never before what flowers
and roses mean. They are beauty,
and beauty. softens and mellows
human life. 1t elevates and thrills,
and at the same time. rests and
refreshes. 1t turns thought away
from the cares of business and
makes the world more peaceful
and more pleasant.
And to the stranger who comes
home-seeking it is attractive. Il

Worship.

In accordance with an ancient
custom, Knight Templars celebrate
Easter service with appropriate
ceremonies. This is the custom
the world over, where Knight
Templarism exists. Temple Com

ships in the elegant Masonic hall
OF that city. At times they have
sent to Portland, Salem. and cities
more remote Tor prelate to ofhciate
on that special occasion. This
year that distinguished Office was
conferred upon DR.. J, R. N. Bell,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of this city. And the hon
or was more significant for the fact
that the Masonic body accompanied
by the Eastern Star of that city.
came to this city to worship. Prom
inently among the number were,
D. P. Mason, the patriarch of Ma
sonary in Oregon. w. R. Bilyeu,
J. R. Cusick, Frank Miller, c. B.
Winn and Russell Wyatt.
The services at the Presbyterian
church were held at 3 o'clock so
as not to conflict with the services
of any other church. DR. Bells
sermon was a mastery effort. and
the scene confronting him was a
sight to behold, for it was fore
ground of plumed Knights SUR
rounded by the order OF Eastern
Star. Upon repairing to the Ma
sonic Hall refreshments were serv-
ed by the ladies of the Eastern
Star. The local Knight Templars
and members of Oregon Council
No. R. &. S. M. sought in every
way to make it pleasant for the
visitors. The rest of the afternoon
was devoted to visiting aud to the
cultivation of that fellowship which
is cordially harmonizing the rela-
tiohs thar exist between Albany
and Corvallis.
At the close of the exercises the
guests expressed the wish that the
Masonic bodies of Corvallis might
at some time in the near future re-
turn the visit,

Occasionally we hear of some doc. tor ably and wisely directing the Far mers' Union how to do and act. We don't mean practicing physician when we say doctor, but we mean this loose. slip-shod kind of doctor that has al- ways poked his bulky nose into the farmers business. Yes, they frequent ly remark: "The Union is all right, If it will just stay out of politics. v And no truer utterance, properly handled, can be made, because the or ganizatio as an organization, will never besmear its noble records with politics. But, my dear honey, it is the concentrated business aspiration on the part of every farmer in this State, not in the Union, to just be political enough in his affairs to let the world at large know that he is going to run his business, and woe be unto that doctor But he political astute, or an up-to-date 20th century, political non. inity, whose stock in trade is, 'gobble much and perform but little' except that ordered by his bosses.

This Is a season of the year when il behooves us, every man and woman, to give care to our fellow creatures, whether biped or quadruped, covered with hair or feather. Fresh water during these sizzling days should be accessible to beast and fowl. It is impossible for them to ask for cup or bucket of water, and they are en- tirely dependent on the thoughtful ness of woman and man. It is dis- dressing to go about the market places and see crates crowded with fowls ire. quently so densely packed that they are two deep in the crate; their mouths open, panting for breath. They do not so much need food as water. It is not, as one might suppose, that the market men or the shippers are cruel. They are simply thoughtless. Habitude has made them forgetful that all domestic animals are highly organized yertebrates like ourselves, possessing with us the mysterious principles of life, and enjoying and suffering everything similarly with ourselves. ''The hand of less employ ment hath the daintier sense," and it becomes the duty of all humane peo- pie, those who have not become cal lous by long habitude, to insist upon the promotion of kindness and com fort toward animals.
 There are between three and four hundred societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States, but there are many hundred thousands of people not be. longing to these societies, who are humane both by nature and education. There is wider scope for altruism than benevolence to our own kind. merely, there can never be the high est benevolence in and to the human race until the humane sentiment be- gins at the formation and embraces all life.-The Living Truth.

Even yourg and healthy trees are continually dropping off leaves and twigs. These are the rejected things that are not for the well-being of the tree life. In the same measure, any sort of an organ Zation will from time to time cast off various excressences that are useless or burdensome. The Union will lose from time to time some of it's one-time members, but SC long as the orga nization remains pure and healthy, this means only the drop. ping of burden or an unnecessary thing.

Keep it in mind all the time that the roads are made for the man in the country. It makes no difference who pays the money to the road build CT for his work, the price ultimately comes out of the farmer, the man who most uses them.

It is the business of the Union to teach good farming in all that this word means. It means good planting, good seeds, proper laying off of the crop, proper sorts of things to plant, proper cultivation, harvesting, and above all, the proper marketing, "for what profteth it man if he maketh hoss-lot full of stuff, and the Philis. tine gets it for a song" That is not exactly according to the words of the Scriptures, but it fits the case all the same.
