The number of members of the Lin
coln-Roosevelt league is being increased
steadily. The league seeks two results
in the August primary election: First,
to take the control of the Republican
party from the Southern Pacific rail-
road, which has dominated it in the
past, and restore such control to the
Republican voters of the state; second,
to procure the nomination of candi-
dates of the highest character for Iegis-
lative and supervisorial offices which
are to be filled this fall.

A Republican paper begins an article
with the statement, 'If Taft and Sher-

that is surely canny enough. The more
conservative Republicans are in their
statements, the less there will be to
embitter the cup of sorrow they are
weirded to drink.

Miss Polly Tick 8.

Polly Ticks, the quaint old girl,
Has the men in a sweaty swirl;
First she favors No. /,
Then she has it on the run; -
Then she thinks that Heney's
right,
Then sizes Fulton on to fight;
When the socialists say ''scat"
Polly's there with gaudy hat;
When the dems say they will win
Says Polly, "'Tis sinch; go in!'
When the prohibs try their
strength
Polly hesitates; at length
She says: at is my dearest wish
To cast my vote with the prohi--
bish!"
When the reps say "We're ahead"
Says she "Of course the rest are
dead"
Polly Ticks is free from guile,
But keeps 'em guessing all the

When a man thinks he is at. "
Polly hands her icy mitt-

MAKE PLANS NOW
Shall the Summer Count for
Good, or Ill?

A problem that will soon con-
front the parents and particu-
larly the mothers in Corvallis is,
what shall we do to keep our
boys and girls busy and out of
mischief during vacation?
The question is a serious one,
not only to the fathers and moth
ers who are driven almost to des-
peration by the restless of their
their children, butto the children
themselves, who must be either
employed in some profitable and
harmless way, or who will seek
amusement and employment
neither helpful nor beneficial, in
order to "work OFF, their surplus
energy.
Only few more weeks and
the schools will open their doors
and turn out the army of eager,
happy children, and then it will
be time to act.
Every parent should keep this
subject in mind and have the
campaign planned in advance.
A plat of ground set aside for
the use of the little folks will be
certain to attract the boys and
girls this year, for they have not
forgotten the All-Benton School
fair of last year and they can
easily be interested in the COM
ing fair, which is to be bigger
and better than that Of last fall
A few garden seeds, a plat Of
ground and a generous amount
of interest and encouragement
from the parents-these will be
found an excellent thing for the
, boys when school closes, ano
even now, in spare hours.
And the girls have an equally
good opportunity of winning
4 not only the rosy cheeks tha
! result from outdoor exercise
| but many handsome prizes tha
, are offered in the various depart
ments, and the mother who fail
, to grasp this opportunity of in
teresting the daughter in fin
, sewing, bread making, fruit can
ming, jelly making, and a doze5
other kinds of work, is missin
a chance that may never appes
q q so strongly again to the daugE
9 ter.
- The school fair will help Ber
. ton county fathers and mother
: very materially in solving tn
y, % problem Of pleasant and prof
~ - able employment for the youn
~ folks during vacation, and if yc
% do not keep the boys and CIR
ct ct actively engaged at home the
g will elude your care and find e.
-. tertainment and amusement ou
g side their homes.
10 10 1t is up to. you, then, parent
~ to say whether the children sh'
81 roam the streets with idle col
= h panions during the coming SUI
~ mer months, or whether the
-. - hours shall be turned to prof
y able account. The time to thi
w w it over is now-you will not

Ii the present plans material

building will soon become

hopes of the original promoters
of this project have been delay

which need not be discussed
here but which at the time SEEM

been deeply deplored by every
one and many have gone so far
as to say that it would never be
completed, and that the money
already expended had been
thrown away.
Such thought ought not to

sideration for the building is-not
going ITO fail of completion but
instead the present board of trus-
tees have formulated plans by
which they expect to be able to
complete the work already start

Up to the present time $18,-
900 has been subscribed by the
friends Of the project and OF this
sum, over $4,000 has been paid,
leaving outstanding $4,000.
| These sums are in pledges of
many individuals, running from
so cents to $4,000 and payable
in instalments, the large major

the public will be better inform
ed as to what is being done. En-

S. K. Hartsock, and all entries
must close at 6 p m, May 14th.
The committee desires to make
this horse sale as well as a
horse show and farmers are
therefore requested to send to
the secretary a brief description
OF such horses as they will offer
] for sale at the Corvallis show. Ii
a sufficient number of animals
ARE offered for sale, the commit

to have buyers on the ground at
that time. The committee will
simply bring the buyers and
sellers together and leave the
rest to those interested.
