Rot Hits Douglas Pr,,nes.

Roseburg, 0r.-Word that the situ-
alton in regard to the prune crop in
Douglas county is alarming because of
the recent rains and the attendant set
ting in of brown rot caused Walter S.
Browne, of the Oregon Agricultural
College. and Fred Strang, county fruit
inspector, to hasten to the orchard dis
tricts. Wherever spraying had been
done In compliance with the request Of
the county fruit inspector, little dis
ease was discovered. Those who failed
to spray. however, probably will lose a
portion of their fruit.

sheep will be shipped. as compared
with 200 cars during the whole season
last year. Fifty cars have already
been shipped. The value of the sea-

with the Canadian government to
drive sheep across the line into British

Hop Demand is Good;
Picking is in Full Blast

A more general demand has devel.
oped in the hop market and buyers are
offering higher prices throughout the
state of Oregon. Eight cents was be-
ing freely bid on contracts in the Will.
lamette. valley, with a substantial
premium for fuggles. McNeff Bros
have purchased between 500 and 60(
bales of fuggles at IL cents.
In Western Washington the market
has also become more active. Seven
hundred bales of clusters were bought
in that section at cents, including
the crops of Frye, Bremen, Cooper and
Perfield.
No trading was reported from Yaki-
ma, but the market there was also
firm. The first sample of Yakimas
were received by McNeff Bros. and the
quality was fully equal to that of the
best previous years. California ad-
vices were of the sale of 900 bales of
new Sacramentos at 8 and 81 cents.
Pickers are busy in all the Oregon
hop sections. The favorable change in
the weather enabled the pickers to re-
sumo operations, and it also held back
the mold. 1t is too early for definite
estimate as to the size of the Oregon
crop, but many of the dealers believe
it will run close to 100, 900 bales.
New York wires estimated the yield
in that state at 5000 to 10000 bales,
and the quality very fine. Offers up
to 30 cents are being made for states
and growers are asking 80 cents.
Letters received from London deal
ers put the English crop at 300, 900 to
$40, 900 hundredweight. The London
Times has the following from Canter-
bury, dated August "a:
"The hops have not made so much
progress during the past few weeks,
owing to the pronounced drouth. The
crop will vary in yield according to
districts, many of the hops being on
the small side. In the districts where
rain has recently fallen the prospects
are the best. Vermin has disappeared
and mold is not spreading to any ex-
tent. 1t is now expected that the
picking will commence earlier than
was anticipated. Trade on the market |
is quiet, and in the few sales effected |
prices are below recent quotations.

Uncle SAN BEGINS COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATION.

Washington, January i.--Ono N the
most interesting of the new govern
mental activities which are spreading
the influence of the national govern
ment into the every day lives Of the
American people. is the organization
OF school social centers. This work
begins formally today, when DR.. Ed
ward J. Ward of Wisconsin, assumes
charge Of the new sub-bureau of the
United States Department of Educa-
ton, which will'have supervision.
The Importance of the new step is
far-reaching. While the use of the
schoolhouses as forums or organized
discussion is the basis of the work in
which Ward will engage, he will also
furnish expert information with re-
gard to the whole field of community
organization. including the use of the
nations common school system as the
machinery of Industrial and social
adjustment, as the means of Ameri-
canizing and assimilating the immi-

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills OF Maysville People.

As one weak link weakens a chain,
SO may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking-down.
Overwork, strains. colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come. and there
is an ever-increaslng tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kindeys. Maysville testimony is
proof OF their effectiveness.

Why and when it became a year for
the female of the species" to propose
matrimony to the male is an unalien-
able right, without loss of maidenly
dignity, is not set down in tradition.
Possibly it was inspired far back by
a feeling of gallantry. ordaining that
the girls should be given a chance at
playing the principal role in the lot
terry Of marriage. Or perhaps, as the
skeptical are wont to think. It is just
a huge joke in itself.
AS to the origin of the name leap
year. it undoubtedly arose from the
fact that any date in such year after
March leaps over" the day of the
week on which It would fall in ordi-
nary years.

We Are Not Trying To Sell

what we do sell.
We appreciate selling high
priced crops and choice baskets OF
Tobacco; but, we are more con-
cerned about what the average of
the market is and how we are
standing, with reference to the
average.
What one crop or one basket
brings only helps one seller; but,
what the average is tells the tale
for all the people. As long as we
are able to sell Tobacco above the
average of the market we shall
continue to feel that we are rem
dering our full duty to our Gus
toners, the people and the market.
AS you know we do not buy any
crops with a view of boosting"
our average. We simply sell ev-
erybody's Tobacco as it comes,
giving to each crop the same care
and attention and sorting every
load thoroughly.

And, there are other reasons
why you should do so among
which are the the fact that you
can get quickly unloaded and
promptly sold. Never crowded
and always have good light. In
addition we do not employ anyone
that speculates in Tobacco. Our
officers and help cannot buy your
Tobacco low so that they may re-
sell it at a profit. We do not per-
nit that in our Houses. All Of
our efforts are given to the sellers.
We are just trying to sell Tobacco
and sell it well. Simply that and
nothing more, and we mean to
keep our business clean.
We invite Growers and Sellers
to call at our Houses and see how
carefully we SORT and handle all
Tobacco and ask them to make
any suggestions that they think
win improve our methods. We
are always glad to get suggestions
from Growers and Sellers. We
want the Maysville market to be
clean and satisfactory. We offer
no special favors to anyone and
play no favorites. We take the
