ftcHRlSTOPHONE" INSTALLED,
Church Services Now Held by
Phone in Albany.

The Albany Herald of Wed
nesday says:
"ConversloHs oy telephone
will be made possible in Albany
commencing with next Sunday.
The time has passed when it is
necessary to attend church to get
the benefit of the minister ser
mon, or to enjoy the music OF
trained choirs.
ALBANY will be the first city
on the Pacific coast to have one
OF its churches equipped with the
Chris -ophone. Manager DeVar-
ney of the home company is how
engaged in installing this Won
deItui invention in the United
Presbyterian church and expects
to have It il working order by
Sunday morning. Speaking on
the subject last night Mr.. D.,
Varney said that the Christie
phone was one of the latest in
ventions in the telephone line.
and while it has been tired in one
or two places in the United
States with success, it is yet in
the nature OF an experiment. 1t
the Christophone is found to
prove successful in the United
Presbyterian church, Mr.. DeVar-
ney states that he will endeavor
10 install the instruments in all
the houses of worship in the
city.
The Christophone," said Mr..
DeVarney lis designed especially
for the convenience of patients in
hospitals and any persons who
are unable to attend church. We
will probably put in suitable
apparatus In the hospital here SO
that the patients can have the
benefit of hearing a church. ser
vice with no inconvenience on
their part.
1t this initial experiment
proves successful, and Christie
phones are installed in all the
churches, Albany will only have
to call ''Centrar' and ask to b.
connected with the church OF
their choice to realize the bene.
fit of religious service.

number of Instances are on re-
cord of women going ahead with
this work in the face of obsta
cles that would have stopped an
ordinary man. During a recent
storm in Pennsylvania a woma il
was the only carrier in that part
of the country to start out on
route and complete the trip. She
drove the entire way through
drifts and ovei almost impossible
roads and delivered the usual
quote of mail. The postofhce de
partment points to her record IS
one equslled by few men. There
have been similar instances in
this part of the country. The

LET HORSE SHOW coMz.
1t Means Much to Corvallis ana
Benton-Farfners Interested.

Isn't it about time to begir
planning for another horse show
for Corvallis? Il not, why not?
The horse show last year was
one OF the biggest aft .irs from
several standpoints, ever held in
Corvallis, and its results are
still noticeable in this city and
Benton county. Not ouly did it
bring together an immense crowd
for two days and interest old
and young, men and women, as
they were never before interest
ed in 6ne horses; but it attracted
the attention of the entire state
and of neighboring states to the
horses of Beuton county. The
result has been that horse buyers
have been constant visitors to the
county ever since, paying prices
for desirable animals that have
made glad the hearts and fat the
purses OF all farmers with such
stock for sale.
This year many farmers in
Benton have young animals that
are in prime condition for exhib-
ition purposes, and they are nat
urally beginning to wonder if
Corvallis is going to give them
an opportunity to display these
animals.
The horse show means money
to the farmer, because many
horse buyers will. it is certain,
come to the show and pay big
prices on the spot for prize win
ners and other desirable hors-s.
When the farmers prosper, the
merchants, grocers and the en-
tire community also prosper
When the town receives such
advertising as a horse show
gives it, near and far, it is der
t in that the news will travel and
bear fruit.
Therefore, it behooves Corval-
lis horsemen, those who So sue
cessfully planned and carried to
ful6llment the big horse show
last year, to get busy and agi-
tate this Important matter. AL
ready several farmers have been
making inquiries and are eager
for information on the subject.
If deemed advisable, other fine
stock might also be exhibited at
the same time, as goat and other
shows are held in neigh5oring
towns with marked success.
1t has been sensibly suggested
that no cash prizes be offered, as
they are of little moment to the
men who own fine horses and have
plenty OF money already. Rather
let the ,'ney be invested in sill
yer cups which can be suitably
engraved and be kept as heir
looms in the family of lucky
winners.
BY all means let US have a
horse show and let plans be for
mulated at an early date.

Due to VANITY.

What women will do and endure in
the quest of beautiful looks was eX-
emplified by some instances given by
a lady doctor.
A very wealthy woman recently took
on trip abroad with her staff of
beauty experts besides her maids
They travelled with her everywhere,
staying at the best hotels and receiv-
ing large salaries for about an hours
work each per day The lady, who
is considerably past middle age, thus
managed to keep up an appearance Of
youth, the artificiality of which, how
ever, deceived no one but herself.
Other beauty maniacs, as they are
called, are so made up with dyes and
facial coloring matter that they have
to avoid the open air. The treatment
begins at noon, the face being steamed
and massaged, the hands, arms, and
neck whitened with artificial prepare
tons, the hair manipulated and the
figure scientifically laced. Drugs are
used to make the eyes bright. And all
this is gone through for the sake of
shining at some social function.-Cas-

Gator, was greatly beloved in the
south, and his visits were always en-
joyed by his former pupils and parish

custom to offer prayer whenever he
made a ministerial call. On one occa-
sion he called at house where three
Of his former pupils were staying.
These ladies' were all past the. thirtieth
year mark, but in the eyes of the old

explains the petition he offered

evitable camp squabbles, three per-
mits the association of two as chums

Get as well acquainted as possible
with all members of the party before
starting. An uncongenial member
may spoil the pleasure of tthe whobe
party. If possible let one nran know
well how to- do camp cooking. Try
him on a short outing before you trust
him ON the real trip.
The comfort Of the whole party de-
ponds most on the ability Of the cook.
Fancy cooking or chafing dish adept
