Practically all of young Polk coun-
ty is interested in a like manner.
Youngsters from the age of years up
have earned and spent over and over
again the amount of worldly goods
they expect to earn in the hop fields.
And not only the children are inter-
ested, but the older folks as we'll, have
been making big checked aprons and
Voluminous sunbonnets, sleeve hold
ers, etc, and every one of them ex-
pect to make their fortune sweltering
Cor perhaps it will be the perpetual
shower bath this year, over the edge
of huge wooden box or basket until
the fluffy blossoms fill it to the brim,
whence follows the shrill cry of
check" or box full or measure -
or its equivalent. On through the
long, tedious day the pickers pull, and
snatch, and grab, and thrust until 6 I
O'Clock comes, and with a bunch of
little red or green, or blue tickets .
pinned on the front of their shirt .

But after all there is fun in it, and
happier, merrier, bunch of humanity
could not be found than hop wagon
crowd travelling the dusty road to
town.
In some of the large yards. dance

through the night, like a rude blare
of the trumpet that ended your mo-
ments Of joy you bid the Angel good
night and walked home on air, with a
heart as light as the ghost of the
thistle-down that kissed your face on
summer day.
1t was puppy-love, as they call 1t,
but no passion could be more COM

crossed your waking hours and ran

look back now, after the gray has
silvered your temples and your girth
prevents the use of last seasons
trousers, you know that that same
experimentation was pure as the
snow that clings to the sides of the
wind-swept mountain, and its
enthralling mastery of your soul is
one of the brightest spots that fingers
in the memories of the past.
IT was the lure of youth, the golden
spring time of the soul, but every
heart beat was true, every inspiration
was uplifting because of it, and it has

those who have felt 1t are none the

enchanted spaces in the pathway
that leads from the cradle to the
grave.
There are Mary Smiths and there

gone by and they are fighting the

MUCH SPACE FOR FAIR SHOWS
Board Finds Difficulty i'm Securing Suf-
fcient Room For All.


SALEM, Aug. $3.50 extensively
has the State Board of Horticulture
planned for the free attractions at the
state fair this year, it is becoming
difficult to furnish sufficient space for
both the attractions and the conces-
sOners. The Parker shows, conceded
to be one of the largest carnival firms
in this country, has requested the
board to set aside nearly two times
the space occupied by it last year,
while cOncessioners from every sec
tion of the West are fiocking toward
Salem in a frantic search for space.
Never before in the 81 years his
tory of the oregon state fair will
there be such an array of free attrac-
tions as there will be for the fifty
first assembly. The board has eX-
pended approximately $4,000 for
music and free entertainment. while
the stakes and purses offered i'm the
speed program amount to $4,000

Ontario Democrat: A few years ago

That Dallas will possess a fruit can
raised in this vicinity to keep one in
operation, is the statement made by
the Armsby people, and we believe
that that promise is sufficient for all
purposes. The majority of people
have no idea of the immense amount
of material required to operate a
cannery successfully. The fact that
several towns of the Willamette val
ley have had cannery buildings erect
ed, and the machinery installed, only
to remain imperative for years, sim
ply because the acreage of fruit was
not sufficient is evidence enough that
there was no demand for such institu-
tiOns. The Armsby people represent
one of the largest canning companies

More than 10000 Oregon Repub-
licans indicated their choice of La
Toilette in the April primaries. The
Wisconsin senator was second in the
race in this state. Senator LaFol-
lette has announced his allegiance to
the Republican party and has bitterly
attacked the Bullmoosers in his mag
azine, and publicly. He will soon take
the stump in defense of his real pro-
gressive principles and will advocate
the election of the Republican nation
al ticket. Those wild supporters of
the Roosevelt party who are declaring
that their god will sweep Oregon in
the November election, have another
guess coming. Do they suppose for a
minute that these 10000 LaFollette
Republicans, or even portion of
them, will cast their ballots for the
man who defeated their candidate,
and even prevented compromise
which might have made his nominal
tion at Chicago possible? On the 9TH
er hand. our Democratic friends who
are claiming that the Wisconsin
mans support will go to Wilson, are
not counting the fact that these men
are Republicans. that they have re-
mained true to the organization and,
following the advice of their leader,
will be found lined up.
