In the Globe Democrat OF June 25 is
seen communication from Chatham, N.
T., on the fruit interests and its d;scour-
agemeuts. The Scale insect has made
its appearance there and it may SION be
here. 1t ia said that the sparrows there
keep down the encroachers. The lady
birds will have to be introduced where
the Scale insect Is. as they destroy them,
and they have already been introduced
into California for that purpose.
In New York state they propose to in =
trodnce into the schools the subject OF
insect life, and thus learn the childre q
early in life the Two classes Of insect s.
the injurious and beneficial, and in tn is
way it is hoped at no far distant time to
greatly help with such knowledge as in
time will greatly lessen the injurious i n
sects and increase the beceiic,al ones
that will make in the future fruit grow
ing more successful. The fruit growers
Of Missouri have in preparation a small
volume on horticulture to be introduced
INTO the schools of this state, and when
completed will, without doubt, contain
brief outline On insect life for the pc
rusal Of the children IL the state.

We must not have two kinds OF dol
lars in this country. II there is good
dollar and poor one, tho working man
will always be given the poor one. Every
dollar that We now have is on parity,
whether that dollar Is gold, silver or
paper. The free silver men are rallyinR
under false cOlors. They call themselves
simetallists. This is a rank humbug.
There is no such thing as free bime
talllc coinage at the ratio OF Is to l..
That would be silver coinage alone, with
gold taking flight across the sea. A
genuine bimetallist is one who believes
that dollars worth OF silver should be
put into silver dollar, in case We adopt
free coinage. The ratio can only be de-
term,ned by IN International confer
ence. That conference IS bound to come
sooner or later. Until it does come there
should be no more monkeying with our
CURRENCY.

We Lose Another Game.

The Oregon base ball aggregation
went to Mound City last Friday and
dropped another game to the boys there.
Things were coming our way until the
fifth inning when grievous errors on the
intield caused Street to lose his bead
and ne went to pieces. This tells the
whole story as we'll as column OF the
best selected ball phraseolOgy could.
The boys had a pleasant time in Mound
City, no xever, and ball players and visi
tors alike were treated nicely. AS a
matter OF fact the crowd wanted to &C.
their home team win-it's a wooden town
that won't support its owa team. We
are indebted to Bass Meek for the score:

A Starch Factory.

Situated a. is Oregon, in the very
heart OF country to raise more corn
and potatoes, than any where else Tor
it, extent, the wonder Is that Q starch
factory hes not been added to those OF
our business enterprises-made part OF
our canning factory. The machinery
Tor the purpose, is comparatively mex
pensive and the help required for its
running OF little skill, while the same
power fer cannery could be utilized for
the starch factory. With large metro
politan cities close at hand to take much
Of such product, We believe the manu-
featuring of starch at this place could
be made profitable business.

w. Ii. Foster, a near resident OF
Forest, who has been quite sick for some
time past, is reported as improving, and
with no back-set, will soon be around
again.
On Tuesday morning Of this week,
Father Hurley, Of TarkiO, came down
aud united in marriage, at the Catholic
church here, Mr.. William Birmingham
and Miss Bell holland, daughter Of Mr..
Pres holland; both the parties Of Holt
county. Mr.. Birmingham is section
foreman Of the X. G. rad at Napier.
Nearly all OF our citizens were
clothed in their Sunday attire the fore
part OF this week, the occasion OF It
being that of the assembling OF a Chris
tian CONVEX ton held here. Many Of the
notables Of that church in this county
and surrounding country were in attend
ance. Our citizens did the hospltable
act IN entertaining all that came.
II. Claiborne was called by telegram
Saturday evening to the bedside OF his
sick daughter, Mrs. Ella Carbaugh, at
Hampton, IN Platte county, this state.
He has returned and reports that she 10
much better and will likely DO able to
be removed to her fathers home here in
u few days. Mr.. Claiborne reports that
all crops in that section OF country are
immense.
The experience that some of our
young male citizens have been having
with the criminal laws Of the state is
likely to prove II great benefit, not only
to them, but to put timely check on
others TINT are inclined To- go in the
same direction. IL seems that the
salutary teachings Of our churches and
Sunday schools have but little effect On
that element.
On Wednesday morning 81 this
week. while two OF Prater Chesney g
boys were hOeing and cutting weeds in
a cornfield, one OF the boys accidentally

was that silver convention should be

committee were not Of that opinion. A
direct vote Of the committee for free sill

members Of the committee were not
present, hence a true sentiment Of the
