ASKS 4 QUESTION.
OF Vital Interest May Organize
q Fruit Association. 9A i

Why does not Benton county
organize a fruit growers associa-
ton? This is question that is
asked by County Inspector
French, and the query may we'll
be repeated by every resident OF
the county, especially ii he is in
terested in fruit culture.
Other counties have annual
fruit fairs and they are entirely
successful as we'll as beneficial to
the county in a commercial
sense, and what others have done
and do can be accomplished by
Benton if a little interest is taken
by residents of the county.
The live stock show is a fine
thing aud a big thing for this
town and county, as everyone
will readily admit, and Mr..
French concurs heartily in this
opinion; but he declares that
with deeper interest awakened
in the culture of fruit, more work
will be done to improve the quail
ity and quantity of Benton's pro-
duction, and the result will be a
material increase in the price of
land in this section. Once let
Benton produce such apples in
large quantities as does Rogue
and mood River. and other fruits
in proportion, and her land will
bring any reasonable price that
is demanded. And Benton can
produce such fruit if proper at
tention is given to the industry,
for some orchards have already
yielded as large and as delicious
ly favored fruit as ever grew any
where. and it can be made gen.
eral thing if the people only will
it.
Mr.. French has been quietly
asking tine opinion of local fruit
men on the subject OF organizing
a fruit growers association and
90 or 80 have declared their will
ingness to attend meeting for
the discussion of the matter. 1t
is probable, therefore, that Mr..
French will call meeting about
the middle of this month for the
purpose of organizing such an
association.
The Linn county court has ap-
propriated funds to assist in de-
fraying the expenses of an apple
fair this fall, and unless Benton
county shows the proper spirit
and organizes on her own ac-
count, her apples and other fruit
will have to go to neighboring
county to be exhibited. y,
What about it, Benton?

Danger of Indigestion.

While health reports do not give indi-
gestion as cause of death, yet it is in
reality often fatal, as it SO weakens the
stomach that one becomes readily sus-
ceptible to an attack of typhoid fever,
kidney disease, nervous prostration, or
other serious or fatal diseases.
At the first symptoms of indigestion
Mi-o.na stomach tablets should be used.
1t will build up the stomach and di-
gestive organe, SO that you can eat any
thing at any time without fear of distress
or indigestion.
Try SOC box of Mi-o.na. Graham &
Wells guarantee that the remedy will
cure any case of stomach trouble, no
matter how chronic or serious, or money
will be refunded.

Health Hints.

Never get cold feet, especially
in politics.
For palpitation of the heart,
quit reading market quotations.
A good way to. treat appendi-
|citis is to cut ont the surgeon.
Avoid late hours; when the
clock strikes 2 it is time to go
to bed.
Maladies which fail to respond
to any other treatment should be
treated with silent contempt.
Remember that care killed a
cat, and the man who has no
more than nine lives, can't afford
to worry. p r
Nose-bleed is often caused by
not minding your own business.
1t may be cured by. calling the
police and diving into the near
est drug store.
IF you are fat, get thin; if
thin, get fat. Nature never meant
you to be satisfied with your
weight.
A bee sting is good for rheu.
matism, and therefore those who
have hives are seldom troubled
with sciatica at the same time.

ga NIGHT OFF,

A special feature of Com
tmencement week will be the pro-
duction of "a Night OFF, by the
class of 'o7. This play is fav-
orite one in amet ur college
theatricals and is sure to be made
a success by the members of the
cast, who are using all available
time for rehearsal. The play is
under the direction of Mrs. B.
w. Johnson, whose success as a
director of amateur plays is well
known.
The scene of "a Night OFF, is
laid in college town where an
elderly professor, during the ab-
sence of his wife and daughter,
decides to produce a play which
he had written in his college
days. His authorship being a
hobby with him, causes him to
keep it secret, and his expert
ence along theatrical lines being
very limited, causes him to be
taken in by smooth theatrical
bunko artist, one Marcus Brutus
Snap; but he is about to have
the play produced, when his wife
and daughter return unexpected
ly. They, as we'll as other
friends, do not wish the play to
go before the public tor various
reasons. and as soon as they ar
rive trouble begins to brew. The
professor attempts to scue him
self, but with disastrous results,
all of which keep the audience in
roars of laughter. The plot then
begins to unwind itself, not only
proving delightfully."- funny, but
of sufficient depth to be exceed
ingly interesting from start to
finish.
A special musical program of
orchestral selections and solos by
members of the class is under
preparation.

Did You Know?

Do you know that June 14th
is "Flag day" all over the Unit
ed States? An exchange says of
it.
"The American Flag Associa-
tiou is calling attention to the
approaching 18th anniversary of
the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the flag of the United
States. The association is COM
Iposed of individuals and mem
bers of flag committees from
patriotic societies. 1t was FORM
ed in 1897 to promote reverence
for and to prevent desecration of
the flag of the nation. Despite
an increasing public recognition
of flag day as a national anniver-
sary, it is deemed advisable to is
sue a reminder in order to secure
the widest possible observance
this year. ."~,.'.
"It is desired that everywhere
there be display of the national
colors on June IA and the Co
operation of governors of states,
mayors OF cities and the press is
being given. 1t is a good plan
for all American citizens to join

FRANK DANIELS AT COLUMBIA

Frank Daniels with his quaint. roguish

annoGnced as the Columbia attraction
this week, under the manag cement Of
Charles Dillingham;. The opera Is en-
titled The Tattooed Man" and as Mr.

no great stretch of imagination TO

The story of the piece centers around
the Persian court, the first of the Two

Valuable Lesson in Bridge"
For Would-Be Drannatists;

All would-be dramatists should have

week, fer as a negative lesson in play

tie "dOn'ts" Of dramatic construction
were religiOusly committed. In the frst
act Of the new society drama" action
is conspicuous for its absence. and the
character drawing IS so crude that il
scarcely deserves the name. The death
of Nora's father is theatric TO the ex-
tent that it is positively ludicrous. The
author makes the entrance of his star
so commonplace, and has her aturcd
in such a sloyenly fashion that the au-
Olence mistakes her for the scullery
maid. The author in all probability con.
