Leader.
If the farmer isn't a prince, then
it's his own fault. He has his own
cream fresh from the COW, his straw
berries from the patch, mis- eggs
from the coop, his water from the
stream, his vegetables from the
garden, his own meat, his own
-four, wood and home. If it came
TO a pinch, he could make his own
clothes and shoes. In what other
walk OF life Can this be done? He
is the one man upon whom the
whole world depends, and of all
men, he is the man who should cor
ry heart of contentment, and
face as radiant as the MONDAY sun.
-Ex.
One of the most popular places in
Corvallis the fourth was the noun
tsin water faucet at the Graham &
Wells corner, Several cups had
been placed there for the convent
ence of the thirsty, and from early
until late the cups were in demand.
A placard placed over the taucet
bore the inscription Corvallis
Mou ntain Water" and none who
drank failed to note the splendid, ;,
sparkling beverage that is Corvallis
pride and to remark about it. The
fac; of this faucet being so much
appreciated is strong plea for
more drinking fountains in Corval-
lis, at convenient places, whsther
they be expensive or only plain,
servicea bic affairs where man and
beast may quench their thirst.
