Apache dances. threw themselves
solidly in with the hackers OF the
frisEy and risqus innovations.
Take away your old cotillons and
your stupid waltzes. your pretty little
old-fashioned gavottes and the weak

they cried.
All the season the Apache" dances
have been disturbing society. Most
Of them had their origin in the mu-
sic halls and public dance places Of
Paris and London and were designed
TO be startling and-adEanced- Those
which do not depend for popularity
upon q violence Of movement akin
to can-can and cakewalk depend
upon an extreme propinquity Of part
ners and slow, sensuous movement
Some, like the Turkey Trot, have a
combination Of both the Bunny Hug"
and Lovers Walk" and have de-
scriptive enough names Pulpits and
earnest women and men In society
have inveighed against them. They
are dances one expects to see in some
musical comedies or in some dance
halls, but not in the ballroom.
These Apache dances invaded New
port last Summer. The younger
members Of the circus set seized each
other aTidly and Ehirled around
madly. The colony was split in two.
The older matrons called the
dances Just outrageous hugging
matches! The younger matrOns and
the girls Sid: I'VE like to be hug
ging posts; we adore the Apache
dancesi"
1t was hoped that when the New
York season opened the Pear and
Turkey would die natural deaths
Mothers gave stern orders to debu-
tante daughters against these dances
Mrs. John R. Drexel, who IS one OF
the most important matFons in New
York and Newport, took daughter
Alice aside and said: Now, ny
dear, no Grizzly Bear! No Turkey
Trot this Winter!"
Mrs. De Lancey Nicon took her
pretty daughter Josephine aside and
said: The Grizzly and the Turkey
are not for you, my dear, this Win
ter. These Apache dances are not
ladylike"
And Mrs Cass Ledyard, a most
stern. unbending matron, called her
youngest girl, Jean, to her boudoir
and said: my dear, I do not want
YOU to indulge in such disgraceful
dances as I saw last August in New
port. Now don't forget"
Alice, Josephine, Jean and dozens
Of other debutantes dropped demure
eyes and said in turn: YES mama"
When the cards FOR the Juniors
were sent out these strict mamas
smiled and said: There VIII be no
danger here Of these horrible hug
ging dancesi"
But oh how wrong they were!
The patronesses gave Stowe Phelps
carte blanche in the cotillOn ar
rangements. Poor Mr.. Phelpsl He
IS a second Harry Lehr, you know.
Always eager to oblige pretty girls
and always ready to work himself to
death on the ballroom hoorl

mentous event for each bud. She

daintiest slippers and smiled on all
her world.

IRRTGON.

Rev. J. f. Vernon, of Milton, Ore. ,
preached here Sunday. He has made
a halfway promise to be with us
again on Easter, both morning and
evening.
In enumerating all the chicken
fanciers of IrriRon in one of our cor
respondence We inadver'antly overlook
ed w. G. Corey who makes special
ty of the Rhode Island Reds.
Messrs Weston and Boardnan, of
Castle Rock scraped up all the old
wash tubs and kettles they could find,
filled them with eggs and came no to
IrriVon to sell them to Egpert Wads-
worth.
The Columbia is very low now and
this causes quite hardship on our
water supply in the wallis. All Of our
wells should be from to feet deeper
and then our supply would be mex
haustible.
Mr.. Seamean made shipment of
rs 900 post cards to Indiana few
days ago. Tne post card business
seems to be thriving Lovelier Laster
cards than he has now in stock can
not be imagined.
The social gathering last Saturday
evening at the E. g. w hall was
very pleasant affair. Every body had
a good time at cards and general
merry making. Mr. Harry Walpole
was declared the best PLAYER on the
men S side while Mrs. Friend carried
away the trophy for the ladies.
Mrs. Castle, of Echo, clerk of the
local w. 0. W. lodge, came down to
attend meeting Of that fraternity
on Saturday Of last week. She has
propertv here on river front which is
indeed fine location. From what
we learned the Castles think of COM
ing back to Irr gon Good news. we
surely would like to have them back.
Things are beginning to liven up
little here now Several visitors
from Idaho and other points in Wash.
and Oregon were here last week to
look over the situation. We were
not informed whether they bought
land or not. Others who have land
here are making inquiries with the ),
view of having theirs imroved. We
are bound to forge ahead some time
and we think that the time is at
hand when our fondest hopes will be
realized.

The value of our exported cotton in 1919 was only a little more than the value of our chickens and fowls, and the total aggregate of the capital invested in national banks in the south in 1910 was only one-third in amount of the value of poultry products.

In the good old democratic days the em- blem of the unterrified was the rooster the cock-a-d doodle brd." Let those that prefer the "houn' daws of Missouri or the "Bryanesque donkey of the Pla,. have these for thcr emblems; f-- the "standpat' republicans rally round the flag of the bulky "G o. F. elephant, while the Roosevelt combination have for theirs the fiery bucking broncho, but for those that want safe and sane policies such as spells Underwood, give us back the rooster of the old democratic regime.
 Let me tell you why.
 The mother of the rooster is one of our great national assets. The embryonic rooster and the mother of roosters are the great food producers for the masses as well as for the classes in our country This truly democratic bird is found on the tables of the officeseeker as well as at the feast given by the officehoIder, and Is enjoyed by all races. religions and the va rious brands of political boomers. The rich ripe fruit of the hen is the food of.the pugilist and of the consumptive. The poor and rich enjoy the hen and her prod uots, and so democratic Is this science of food supply that the trusts are not able to still or control the morning trumpeter's voice as he calls the worlSingman from his slumbers.
 The farmers cannot combine to increase prices for we find the hen and her part ner not only in the country, but in our villages, towns and even in the Magic City the early trumpet call of the rooster awakens those that have enjoyed the mid night banquet.
 Not only this, but the quantity of eggs and meat that is produced yearly is so great as to be absolutely appalling in numbers. In 1910 the census shows that the American hen actually laid l5, 423 9i9. 170 eggs q like to he exact.) Just think of it more than 17o eggs for each man. wom- an, child and politician in the United States.
 To place these facts in another way, SO they can be easily handled. we have some thirteen hundred million dozen eggs or moro than 4S.90000a cases of % dozens to each crate It mesns s26o. .0o0,0oo worth of eggs at only % cents per dozep. And the rooster. the greatest booster on earth. an- ncunced to tho public the arrival of each cgx. We arc now able to see plainly that publicity is a democratic Doctrine.

Baltimore, June 22.-Plans for the near Ing Monday by the democratic national committee of contests for seats In the democratic convention were completed to- day by members of the committee.
 Death has reduced by one the number of contests. There will be no contest in the sixth Louisiana district In the same manner in which the contest was created it has been solved. The vacancy in the delegation was caused by the tragic death in Washington of the late Repre- sentative c. Wickliffe. chosen to the Bal tlmore convention some time ago. A dis pute arose as to which of the two alter mates delegates were entitled to his seat here Secretary Urey Woodson of the national democratic committee has been Informed that one of the alternatcs also has passed away.
 Up to date the national committee has received notifications of contests affect ing the entire delegations from the Dis- trict of Columbia, Porto Rica, Vermont, the Philippines and Alaska. In addition. rival claims have been made to seats of the delegates from Illinois at large. the first 10 districts of that state and also the Twentieth
 Other contests inaugurated are over three seats from Rhode Island, one seat in the Seventh and in the Ninth Pennsyl- vania districts. and both seats in the Seventh and Sixteenth districts.
