Approves Corvallis Plan.-

One of the delegates to the Or
egon Development League in
Portland last week told how Cor
Wallis spent but 5000 advertising
in Eastern agricultural papers of
large circulation and received
over 6, 900 replies, with the result
that several hundred new people
located in Benton county. This
is plan of advertising that would
be a success for Eugene or any
other Oregon town, because it
reaches the people we are after.
Thrifty farmers who will buy
small sized places and farm them
thoroughly are wanted, and when
we get them the other classes of
population will come as needed.
Advertising in high class naga-
zines is expensive, and reaches
for the most part people who are
not looking for new locations, but
buy magazines for entertainment
and recreation. The Corvallis
experiment was practical test of
the efficacy of printers ink, used
with good judgment.-Editorial,
Eugene Register.

Origin of the cornucopia.

The cornucopia, or ''horn of plen-
ty,' is familiar figure in architec-
ture and sculpture, where it is rep
resented as filled to overfowing
with fruits and flowers. Most boys
and girls have seen it no doubt, but
It may be that they do not know
how it originated. The old writers
say that it came from Jupiter, the
supreme deity of the Romans, and
this is the way of it: Rhea, Jupiter's
mother, soon after he was born gave
him to the daughters of Melisseus,
king of Crete, as his nurses. They
fed him with milk from the goat
Amalthea, an animal that was some
times badly treated by the infant
god. One day, it is said, in a fit of
temper he broke off one of Anal
thea's horns and gave it to his
nurses, endowing it with the power
of becoming filed with whatever
its possessor might wish. That horn
became the cornucopia. = Chicago
