A New Years Surprise

On New Years eve, just be-
fore the watch night services

pastor, Rev. Ingalls,. had gone
to the church for the service,
there was ring az the parsonage
door bell, and upon the summons
being answered, there was found
large company of people wait
ing for admission. and when all
were admitted. the house was
pretty well filled. but upon i'm
quiry il was found the pastor was
at the church. SO a messenger
was dispatched for him 10 come
10 the parsonage at once, as his
presence was desired there. and
the reverend gentleman, think
ing that perhaps some one wish
ed To get married, and as il lack
ed but few minutes of being
time for the services TO begin at
the church, came with all haste,
but upon arrival at the parSon-
age and seeing no one he thought
TO be candidates formatrimony,
asked the meaning of such an
assembly. and what it meant
Whereupon Mrs, Sarah A. Kemp,
acting as spokesman for the
company, in a few well chosen
words explained the purpose of /
their presence, and ON behalf of |
the people and in token of their |
love and esteem presented the |
minister and his wife a purse .
of fifteen dollars in money. [
Mr.. and Mrs. Ingalls, both re- |
sponded with expressions of (
appreciation, not so much for
the money received. but for the
spirit and motives which had
prompted its giving.

1t seems to be high time that
the matter of telephone rates
in st. Johns be enforced ac-
cording to the provisions of the
company's franchise with the
city. According to the fran
chise the company is permitted
to charge no more for service
than it was charging when the
franchise was granted. Resi-
dence phones at that time was
charged for at the rate of S1.50
per month; now it is 1925. It
is also understood that the price
of business phones have also
been materially increased since
that time. The city authorities
should take the matter in hand
and force the company to stick to
its agreement. and il also
should be made to refund the
excess charges it has made.
Why not?

Governor West is certainly
making a fame for Oregon that
is far from desirable. When
the report is widespread abroad
that Portland was SO rotten that
the Governor had to interfere,
that he had TO interfere i'm sew
eral other places in the state,
and finally declare martial law
in Copperfeld, people will lust
naturally tumble all over them
selves to get to this state of
turbulaney and lawless disorder
Ii will likely take Oregon anum-
ber of years TO recover from the
effects of the governors otlicious
acts. Whether or not his latest
drastic action was justiiable or
not cannot be determined until
all the facts have been made bare.
To the ordinary mortal, how
ever. il did not seem necessary
TO send a woman under armed
guard to Copperheld. when il
was clearly a mans job. lei
looked like an imposition upon
the young lady, one from which
she naturally shrank. but to
please the Governor she accepted
the mission. If a governor has
the power to dictate who shall |

various cities, his powers are |
much greater than has hereto
fore been imagined. The out
come of the situation will be
with great interest,
Dut all the same one cannot

ldyertising this state is getting

INCREASES ITS CAPITAL.
The Ossian State Bank Increase.
Capital Stock to $50, 100000.

In another column of this Bee ap-
pears the legal notice of The Ossian
State Bank, showing an increase OF
their capital stock. This action is
taken by the BANK to give it's custom
ers added facilities. The bank, be-
ing under control of the state bank
ing department and subject to exam;-
nations of the state examiners, has
found this action necessary in order
to comply with the law restricting
them to certain amounts in making
real estate and personal loans. As
this bank only loans it's funds on real
estate tributary to Ossian, and this
real estate has increased considera-
BILE in value during the past ten
years, it has really forced this action
upon the bank, in order to be able
to make the larger loans asked for.
They have also, as the notice will
show, complied with the new Trust
law, which enables them in future to
act as executors of estates, guar
dams, and in fact to act in any mat
ter of trust in I legal way.
This added increase of capital,
coupled with conservative manage
ment, as shown during the past thir-
ty-four years, gives it's customers
added security.-Ossian Bee.

neo by tillage, and foreign mulches
"hlch are applied to the surface OF the
SOIL. The natural soil mulch consists
simply of an air-dry layer Of soil COW

The effectiveness of the natural
soil mulch is dependent upon the size
OF the soil particles, the coarseness OF
crumb structure. the thickness Of the
mulch, and the frequency OF stirring"
says Professor Throckmorton.
Care should be taken not to have
very line dust mulch, because It will
tend to prevent the ready entrance OF
moisture into the soil, and the cult
walton necessary for its formation will
destroy organic matter. A deep mulch
Is desirable, but there is danger In get
ting 1t too deep, because the roots OF
the plant will be harmed by the deep
cultivation. The mulch should be
stirred frequently in the spring. The
sooner 1t is stirred after a rain, the
better.
Many materials are used for foreign
mulches. The more common ones in
use are Manure, straw, dead weeds
and sawdust They are applied to the
surface of the ground, and serve as a
cover to the moist soil. These are used
TO considerable extent on grain and
pasture fields. All of them are efficient
as mulch, their efficiency depending
upon their thickness and porosity. The
foreign mulch is not used extensively
In general farm work, and is not as
practical as the natural soil mulch.

KEEPING MOISTURE IN SOIL
Rye to Turn Under In Spring Pays
on Land Inclined to Pack and
Puddle-vetch Aids Humus.

Disk the stubbles, kill the weeds and
prevent evaporation of soil moisture.
II Will often pay to SOW from forty to
sixty pounds Of rye to turn under in
spring, especially on land inclined to
pack and puddle.
Winter vetch added to the rye will
make more humus and nitrogen, but
before laying too much OF this expen-
sive seed II is better to use a couple
OF pounds to the acre, as the ground
may need incubation, or If you think
you may use vetch next year buy a
pound or two and see how II thrives.
Vetch has a place in our rotations.
especially where 1t is desired to take
repeated silage crops from the same
land with a short haul to the silo.
Land that grows rye or vetch as a
winter improver is best irrigated In
spring before plowing, as they draw
heavily on soil moisture. Do not trust
to surface indications; dig the rye
roots. go deep and mat, making
a good, pliable, light sod from their
roots. II is not necessary to wait
for very heavy top growth, nor
