1t is sad when desire is stronger in
one than better self control. Two
honored citizens of this neighborhood
| by much labor and watching grew
each a bed of beautiful tulips, and
when in fine bloom someone whose de-
sire overbalanced the just considera-
tion for neighbors, stealthily carried
off all the tulips. Disregard for other
peoples property is bad showing in
youth.

A kaiser mind prevailed over the
Pomona grange last held at Odell. A
resolution prevailed to boycott our
county papers and recommend subordi-
nate oranges to discontinue patronage
of same because the county papers op-
posed unfairly the efforts of C. +.
Spence; that the three leading dailes
of Portland should receive grange re-
ports. 1t is fact that the three lead
ing dailies were much more strenuous
in the opposition to c. E. Spence.
Consistency is said to be a jewel.
Those of the boycott mind should re-
pudiate all state daAies, for they ad-
vocated the $1,000, 900 bonds, opposing
c. E. Spence, and they should sub
scribe for the appeal to Reason" and
go clear off "ferninst everything"
