MISSION TURNER'S
Plan A new HALL
Cornerstone to Be Laid for First
Building of Society
Since Fire

Arrangements are complete for lay
ing the cornerstone of the new Mis-
sion Turn verein hall on the lot of
the society, corner of Eighteenth and
Lapidge streets, near Valencia, Sum
day afternoon at . o'clock.
This is the first permanent hall to
be erected by a German society in
therefore an event of particular in
terest not only to the German popula-
tion of the Mission district, but of
the entire city, and many societies
have accepted the invitation of the
turner's and will attend.
Immediately after the fire the turn
ers erected a temporary hall on the
site of the old one, and since that
time instruction has been regularly
given to mems, womens and childrens S
gymnasium classes.
After the new hall is completed the
society expects to, extend its work in
the gymnastic line, as its gymnasium
will be one of the most complete and
up to date in the city. 1t is expected
that the new hall will be ready about
the middle of September.
II will be two story and base
ment class A structure of brick and
steel absolutely fTeproof with two
mezzanine floors, q large auditorium
and dance hall with maple f1ooSs, a
large banquet hall. large gymnasium
equipped with all the modern appa :
ratus, shower baths. bowling alley,
lodgerooms and concert halls, and will
cost about $4,000.
The design of the new building will
be in old Spanish mission style, in
keeping with the traditions of the
Mission, and will be built according
to the plans OF Architect Reinhold
Denke, who is also the architect for
the new German house, which will be
erected in the near future.

IN HOME BUILDING

genial climate to place palms and semi
tropical flowers and shrubs in the
ground and this gives a touch of lux
uriance and beauty to the-place.
This not only gives added value to
a place and an entire neighborhood. but
creates love of home.
The cities across the bay are splen-
did examples of this kind of home
building and home making. But San
Franciscans who have their eyes open
are beginning to Nsee that the same
thing can be done in the new subur-
ban districts Of the city proper and ex-
tending down the peninsula. When
such homes are made in close touch
with the city proper they soon attain
a very high financial value
The new private parks in the Rich
West Clay park. the Jordan tract and
many restricted streets are good ex-
amples of this.
Any little neighborhood can by con-
certed action of the property owners
his house in different style, and beau
tifying the grounds to the best possible
advantage make in this way a park
district OF their own.
The many novel styles of architecture
seen in trip around the suburbs
shows that this spirit of artistic home
building has taken root in many Sec
tions and promises to make a new San
Francisco of greater beauty and di-
versity than was dreamed of a few
years ago.

Another wedding that was quietly
celebrated the early part of the week
was that of Miss Victoria Yusuk of
Berkeley and George Carriman of

subsequently given IN her honor on
both sides cf the bay. The attractive
little bride elect said vaguely the we'd
ding would take place in the fall, men
tioning no special date, and last week
when her friends were hidden TO tea
at her home they thought they would
be told the all important day.

Farmers Cannot Get Harvest Help
Situation is Becoming Alarming

Farmers in the vicinity of Pullman
are unable to secure harvest hands to
harvest the grain that is already cut
and many machines are running
short handed, while others have been
unable to start at all because a crew
could not be secured. The wages Of
fered are exceptionally good, rang
ing from $3.50 for bundle wagon
drivers and field pitchers to Sc and
81 for engineers and separator tend
ers.
The situation is becoming alarm
| ing and appeals are being sent to
other towns for help, but from near
| ly every town in the Inland Empire
comes the same story-nO men. Us
ually at this time of year the streets
! are filled with harvest hands looking
for positions coming here after the
completion of harvest in the Walla
Walla valley, but this year not man
! is to be found who is not employed
and the farmers are so anxious TO
secure help that they meet every
train in the hope of finding men who
are willing to work 1t is not unusual
at this time of year for the brush
near town to be thickly populated
with hoboes who, when asked TO
work, hold out for higher wages than
are offered them, but this year even
that elem ent has not put in an ap-
| pearance.
The fact that harvest is consid-
erably earlier than usual is given by
the farmers as a reason for the scar
city of men, it being thought that as
soon as the harvest is completed near
Walla Walla they will come to the
Palouse country. That does not help
the situation, however, as by that
time the grain will all be threshed by
short handed crews or combined har-
vesters.
Many farmers have become dis
gusted with the situation and say
they will use the combined harvester
hereafter, thereby employing a linn
tied number of men. Teams also are

Republican State Convention Raps
Insurgents and Lauds Pres. Taft

The republican state convention in
session at Tacoma Wednesday went
Oh record as opposed to insurgency
and PoindeXterism 1t voted to repeal
the second choice provision of the
direct primary law and renominated
all five of the retirin supreme Judges.
The platform adopted at the conven-
ton tells the story and is as fol-
lows:
The republican party of the state
OF Washington, assembled, declares
Its unqualified allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the party, as enacted in it's
various platforms of principles and
as eXemplified in the wise. patriotic.
progressive and constructive work
OF the statesmen whose services the
party has given to the country, such
as Abraham Lincoln, William McKin-
ley, Theodore Roosevelt and William
II. Taft
The republican party continues to be
as it has always been since its organi-
cation, the party of progress. of prin-
ciples and achievements. To it be-
longs the credit for the enactment of
the legislation Of the past half cen
fury, which has made this country
the pride of it's people and the object
of the worlds admiration.
Every American should be, and ey-
cry loyal republican is, justly proud
of the matchless administration of
William II. Taft which has not only
been thoroughly republican and tru-
ly American, but has resulted in the
enactment of more vital legislation
in the interests of all the people
than was ever accomplished before in
the same period of time.
The admission Of Arizona and New
Mexico into statehood at the earnest
solicitation of republican president
was an impartial and fearless dis
charge of a public duty. Among the
notable achievements of the present
administration may be mentioned the
postal savings law, the enlargement
of the powers of the interstate com
merce commission, the creation of a
court of commerce, the corporation
tax, the tariff law, the law authOriZ-
ing reciprocal treaties in relation to
tariff and the law providing for the
creation of an impartial tariff COM
to investigate and recomm end
such changes, if any as may be found
necessary in the enactment of laws
pertaining to this subject.
