Country Justice Had His Opinion Of
Supreme Court Decision.

Speaking Of the perversity Of coun-
try 'Squires," State Senator John S.
Fisher, chairman of the Pennsylvania
capitol investigation commission, told
this story recently:
I'VE have one old codger out in
Indiana county who fears neither law
yer nor court. Not long ago Dick
Wilson had a case before the Squire.
and knowing his man, he went to the
office fortified with dozen or more
supreme court decisions.
Wilson argued his case, cited sew
eral opinions, and finally remarked.
Squire, ! have here some decisions
by the supreme court Of Pennsylvania,
which / shall read
Wilson finished one decision when
the justice interrupted. saying:
"Mr Wilson, reckon you've read
enough. Those supreme court de-
cisions are all right so far they 60
but IL the supreme court has not al
ready reversed itself I have no doubt
that it will do so in the near future
Judgment is, therefore, given against

Of the poorer classes.
In the middle Of the sixteenth cen.
tury Macon was celebrated for its
muscated wines, whereas the muscatel
grape at this moment can scarcely be
made to thrive there. Ancient chron-
icIes mention the cultivation Of the
vine in northern Brittany, where now
even apples are not plentiful. Again,
it is to be remarked that trees which
once fourlshed In the north Of France
are at present found in the extreme
south. and a considerable number have
disappeared altogether.
Languedoc no longer grows the
lemon: there is not an orange left in

question, serve 10 illustrate the

EUROPE is GROWING COLDER.
Temperature Of the Continent Con-
stantly Becoming Lower.

Some months ago there appeared In
these columns some tables worked up
by Camille Flammarion to show
changes Of a meteorological character
which seem to have taken place in
Europe, says the Philadelphia Record.
Writing again, he states that from
actual figures obtained within the
past six years he has become certain
that the temperature Of Europe has
been falling. France has been suf-
fering for long time from an excess
of cold weather, the thermometrical
readings at Paris having been one
degree below the normal height.
Other readings show even less favor

able during the spring than during

UNIQUE LAUNCHING PARTY
Given Monday Night Corvallis
Young People the Participants.

A launching party was given
Monday evening in honor of
Miss Maybelle Ready and the
affair will not soon be forgotten
by those who participated in it.
The guests were the young peo-
pie of the Baptist choir, and the
destination was to have been
about ten miles down the river.
When five or six miles had
been traversed, however, one OF
the engines went on a strike and
the launch was turned back up
stream. The other engine work
ed all right until the launch was
a mile or two from town, in the
vicinity of the pest house, when
it also went "fuey" and the craft
began to drift.
The banks are steep along the
river at this point, the night was
dark and the logs were thick all
about in the surging waters as
the launch tossed about. Not an
oar was to be had and no one
could make the engines do their
work. 1t is reliably stated that
Hartsock was seen to get on his
knees and repeat Now [ lay me"
with a scared expression on his
handsome face, and that smell
ing salts and palm leaf fans were
in general use among the faint
and fainting female contingent
of the party.
Finally, sloping bank was
discovered and the men-folks, by
using a pail for paddle, steered
the wobbly boat near enough to
shore to Jump out and grab a
tree and thus drag the drowning
party ashore. Not shoe sole
was dampened in the escapade,
but heart failure and cold feet
were everywhere i'll evidence and
no one cares to hear about the
trip, just now.
Those in the party were the
Misses Mabel and Edith Ready,
Juanita Davis, Mary and Roxana
Cate and Mrs. A. NJ. Jessen
Messrs. S. K. Hartsock, Harold
Davis, Grover Cate and Bush
Wilson.

State Revenue From the National
Forests Increased.

In addition to the benefits Sc

regulations which control the
use of timberland and range so
as to insure permanent supplies
for local wants, the states having
National Forests now receive,
under the new Agricultural APP
preparation Bill, 25 per cent OF
the gross proceeds derived from
the sale of National Forest re-
sources. This amount, accord
ing to- law, goes to offset any
losses to the states through with
drawal of forest areas from taxa
ton, and is devoted to public
roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints
were made that the withdrawal
of timberlands for forest pur-
poses reduced the taxable areas
of the states in which withdraw
ais were made. The Forest Ser
vice, quick to see the justice of
these complaints, recommended
at first that 10 per cent, and later
that 25 per cent, of the gross
proceeds from the National For
ests should be paid to the states.
AS a result, the states are assured
of school and road funds, doubt
less more certainly than they
otherwise could have been, since
the permanence of the Forest
resources is now secured by con-
servative management. Had the
Forests never been established,
their resources would undoubt-
edly have been exhausted by
hasty and improvident methods
of exploitation, leaving the land
wasted and unproductive.

II IS UP TO you
Corvallis Women Neglect a Duty.
Shall Strangers Knock
or Boost?

Much money is expended an
nually for advertising Corvallis
and Benton county and the prog
ress and growth of the city is
heralded abroad to attract home
seekers to our midst, all of which
is right, proper and commend
able. Our men are doing their
part to advance the interests of
our community and state and as
a result hundreds of new people
are coming to settle among us.
But there is something left for
the women of the community to
do, duty to perform that will
mean much to these homeseek-
ers and much to the city in nu-
merous ways. 1t is the duty of
hunting up these new families
and extending to them well
come that will make them feel
at home. A formal call of ten
minutes from one, two or three
of our town ladies is about what
the average newcomer receives,
according to the complaint made
by many; then they are left to
get acquainted as best they can.
Many a new family grows
homesick and discontented and
knocks Oregon simply because
of this neglect by our people. A
leading minister of our city says
''it is one of the burning needs
OF the church, this cordiality and
hearty welcome-giving spirit to
newcomers"
We realize that it is an age of
commercialism and business rush
in which there is little time, ap-
parently, for visiting in the good
old-fashioned way and taking a
real heart interest in our neigh
bors; but even placing it upon a
sordid business basis, it will
"pay" and pay well, and our wo-
men should rise to their duty in
the matter.
Welcome one and all, see that
they are invited to our churches,
lodges and social gatherings and
made to feel they are wanted,
and soon there will be such a
story sent out from these happy
homes relative to the cordiality
and hospitality of our people
that Corvallis and Benton coun-
ty will be regarded as the most
desirable place in all Oregon for
a home. Women Of Corvallis, it
is up to you. This is no "pipe-
dream" but the sober truth, as
seen by
One of You.
