In both cases, on sighting the sub

Rnnea Are To Be Clt.

Hood River - Local apple growers
will endeavor 10 cut the cost in pro-
duction Of apples this year by making
substantial decreases in the labor
scale. The orchardists of the Pine
Grove district. one Of the heaviest
bearing districts in the valley, have
made plans for the organization OF all
growers In the district, in order that
the wage scale may be maintained.
It is proposed that hereafter not
more than 81. rs or 81 and board will
be paid for the ordinary days work in
the orchard. Heretofore this has usu-
ally cost $3.50 day. :
"While the matter Of packing will
be left with the shipping organiga-
tions, who should name the price, the
packer should receive and his respon-
sibilities, we suggested that not more
than 8 cents box be paid, where the
packer follows grading machine, :"
SAYS C. A. Reed, who attended the
Pine Grove meeting. Where women
do the work Of men they are to receive
equal pay" ;,
Mr.. Reed declares that local orchard
lists have made poor arrangements for
handling their labor.
1--WE have few bunkhouses." he
said, land yet those growers who have
erected structures to house their pick
ers and fruit thinners say that the
work has certainly been well worth
while. II gives the laborers place
to dry their wet clothing after q rain.
a place to get warm, and to engage in
a sort of social intercourse.
While individual growers will be ex-
pected to make arrangements with
permanent laborers as they see fit, all
are asked not to pay more than $46 q
month for new, inexperienced men, to
whom houses are furnished.

Marshfield- Several Coos county cit
les find themselves obliged to adopt a
retrenchment policy Immediately,
largely because there will be no saloon
revenue in 1916. Marshfield led off

man on the street-cleaning force.

Rail Board Takes Stand.

Salem-The State Railroad commis-
sion has issued an order which will
have the effect of enforcing a law
passed at the 1918 session of the legis-
lature providing for physical connec-
tions of railroads for the convenience
of shippers. The commission has made
two attempts to put the law into oper-
alton, but the applicants did not show
sufficient reason for physical connec-
tions. Hereafter the commission will
refuse to approve crossing contracts
which do not contain q clause provid-
ing for physical connections if desired.

Randon De6aters Win.

Eugene - The Bandon High School
debating team, taking the affirmative
on the government ownership of rail-
roads, defeated Medford High School
in Eugene, two to one. The Bandon
team now must debate Salem High
School. The winner then will meet
the Eastern Oregon champions for the
state title. The affirmative contended
that government ownership 10 neces-
sary for economic development. The
negative declared it financially impos-
sible, since the valuation Of American
railroads is SIC, 200, 900, 900.

FREAK FURS.

Furs, furs, furs. Everything from
white fox to seal, from sable to pussy
cat. And this is how it happened. 1t
was cool spring and especially at
the races fashionable women felt .the
cool chill in the air even after most
folks had put their furs in cold stor-
age for the warm weather But some
one daring to be original wore white
fox and some one wore blue fox and
some one wore sable. And presto,
summer furs were in fashion.
Then those who follow like sheep
. in the way OF fashion all took to
their furs White furs flourished and
merchants who reap a harvest from
every freak OF fashion flooded the
bargain counters with white furs,
though lambs wool took the place
of fox when they had to sell for
$4.oS.
Summer furs had come and some
who had put their winter attire in
cedar bags and chests unpacked it
and then came the aftermath of freak
furs. Yesterday it was that we saw
a woman clad in seal coat, though
the thermometer rose high toward
noon. An evening coat with col
lar OF heavy bear skin was seen in
the evening. Suits with fur-bound
wrists and high sitting collars were
also seen, and this with the velvet
hats that women are wearing would
have made one think winter had
returned But for the rising ther-
nomcter and the date on the calendar
We might expect snow fury. But
then in February women were wear
ing chiffon hats and transparent
blouscs. Why expect fashion to
show discretion?

From one of our club members comes a

Wednesday, June 0, 1915.
AstroIoSers call this an unfortunate
day since Mars, Jupiter, Neptune ana
| Uranus are all adverse.
The stars bode ill for domestic and
! national serenity. Grave anxieties may
| disturb the country.
Owing to some foreign cause stock
markets probably may fluctuate sharply
| within a week.
As the 'configuration is held to affect
the emotions Of choleric and hish-tem-
pered persons. it Is we'll to cultivate
| calmness and poise today.
This rule is believed to affect the d.
gestiop unfavorably. and to create an
unusual craving for food.
Accidents in which scalds and burns
are inflicted are believed to be more
numerous when Mars is adverse than at
any other time.
This sway may incline to over conf
dence, egotism, foolhardiness and irrita-
bility 1t often produces trouble in the
dwelling place. and causes dissension re-
garding property held in partnership.
1t is held that universities and univer-
sity professors will contribute causes for
international complications in connection
with the war.
This is not an auspicIous rule for con-
tracts connected Win machinery OF Sleel
construction.
A scandal in which graft is exposed
will be uncovered in an Eastern city.
AS the summer quarter approaches
there are signs indicating n period of
unusual conditions. social. climatic and
industrial.
Scandals in hospitals and other pub
lie institutions are again foreshadowed
There Is a sinister augury for the King
of England. Great Britain is to face an
extraordinary crisis. the seers declare.
and Canada will suffer severely before
the autumn.
The death or assassination Of an inn
portant parsonage in the United States
Is prognosticated.
Two weeks of extreme anxiety will
have an affect upon the President of the
United States. He is warned that
August may be a time of severe :tress.
Persons whose birthdate it is may ex-
perience great chansss before next
spring. They should weigh any radical
belief most carefully for their whole fu-
lures may depend on this pivotal year.
Children born on this day surely will
be extremely active, energetic and head
strong. They may have to work hard for
a living. Girls have a forh:dding omen
for marriage.
