began Woodrow Wilson in a pub

unveiling of a monument to
Fighting Jack" Berry defined
"Americanism." He has reiteri-
ated and amplified the definition
on every appropriate occasion
since that historic day.
No orator, scholar or states
men. living or dead. has ever
supplied a more inspiring defini-
tion. In my judgment it is the
definition which the Ameri .an
people will accept next Novem-
ber.
quote the Presidents words:
Men have been drawn to this
country by the same thing that
has made US love this country
by the opportunity to live their
own lives and think their own
thoughts and to let their whole
natures expand with the xpan-
sion of a free and mighty nation.
We have brought out Of the
stocks of all the world the best
impulses, and have appropriated
them and Americanized them
and translated them into the
glory and majesty of great
country.
So, ladies' and gentlemen, when
we go out from this presence we
ought to take this idea with us
that we, too, are devoted to the
purpose of enobling America to
live her own life, to be the just
est, the most progressive, the
most honorable, the most enlight
ened nation in the world. Any
man that touches our honor is
our enemy. Any man whostands
in the way of the kind Of pro-
gress which makes for human
freedom can not call himself our
friend. Any man who does not
feel behind him the whole push
and rush and c,moalsioa that fiji
led mems hearts in the time of
the Revolution is no American.
No man who thinks first of him
self and afterwards Of his country
can call himself aa American.
America must be enriched by US
We must not live upoa her; she
must live by means of US.

Geo. Phelps and son of Bowbells,

week.
Rev. liver Sandberg, pastor of the
Lutheran church at Barrett, Mimi, is
the guest of his uncle, Peter Miller.
of the Minot Dairy Co.
President E. Pennington of the 500

Miss Jean Hunter, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. W. C.. Hunter of this city,
was presented with a fine son at
Grand Forks Wednesday morning. The
young Scot has been named Donald
and it is said that he is wee bonnie
lad.
A. j. Parks, who owns a fine farm
near Deering, was in the city Satur-
day. Mr.. Parks says crops are just
fair over his way. Rust and hail have
ruined some while the extremely hot
weather Of the past month is respon-
sible for the failure of some of the
crops.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Davis will leave
on the 21st on trip back to their old
home in Ohio. They expect to be
away until the latter part of Septem-
Der. During their absence Mr.. Davis

Per floor Of the Doloff block, will be in
charge of H. A. Germany.
Albert S. Johnson, from south of
the city, was in town yesterday. He
said that his wheat would average
fair, something like ten bushels per
acre, which is not bad, considering the
present price. Mr.. Johnson said his
neighbors were all going to have some
wheat and he thinks the reports re-
garding poor crops, especially from
his neighborhood, are exaggerated a
little.
Mrs. E. F. Tompkins and daughter
left Tuesday for Caldwell, Idaho,
where they expect to spend the win
ter. Caldwell is in the southern por-
ton of the state and right in the heart
OF the fruit belt. The climate is ideal.
Their many Minot friends hope that
their new location may not prove so
attractive as to lead them to make.

they will return to Minot again in the
spring.

Mrs. d. w. Bowker returned on
Wednesday from Ventura, Ia, where
she went some time ago for an opera
ton. Mrs. Bowker is very much i'm
proved in health. She states that
crop conditions in Iowa are far from
promising. Farmers were already en-
gagged in threshing, the wheat crop
being practically nil while oats We're
running on an average of but Is
bushels per acre. Corn will be about
SO per cent below the average. The
wet weather early in the season and
the extreme heat during July is held
responsible for conditions.
DR.. J. Semple, who owns four sec
lions of land in the vicinity Of Este
van, Sask., returned Tuesday from a
trip of inspection across the line. He
says that the hot weather with hail in
some parts has practically ruined the
crops thruout Saskatchewan. He has
a tract Of 500 acres into wheat and
says that he will not attempt to har-
vest the major portion of it. There
has been plenty Of moisture up that
way, the sloughs are all full of water
yet and if this dries up there will be
an immense hay crop later in the sea-
son. Last year the Doctor threshed
over 10000 bushels of wheat on one
Of his big Saskatchewan farms.
Chas. H. Lewis, a noted hunter,
trapper and scout, was in the city Sat-

Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Moeller and Mr..

party of Chicago capitalists purchased
the tract for golfing grounds. Mr..
Moeller says he is glad to get back to
North Dakota and says it is hard to
believe that men will farm that high
priced land in Illinois when they can
get land equally as good around here

living much easier than in the east.

ure. Oats are going from 20 to 80
bushels per acre. On sandy soil there
will be no corn whatever this season,
ewing to the drought. On the heavier
land corn will be about half crop.
The hay is excellent and unusually
heavy this year. The hot weather in
July just literally burned up the crops.

CONSUMER WILL BE
PROTECTED IN THE
BUYING OF BERRIES
(Hyman H. Cohen In Portland
Journal.)

(Hyman H. Cohen IN Portland
Journal.)
Oregon believes in playing fair to
the producer as well as the consumer.
There is a law on the statute books
Of the state which says in regard TO
! berries
Section 1.-THE standard boxes or
baskets used in the sale Of strawber-
ries. blackberries loganberries, rasp-
berries or similar berries shall be of
the interior capacity of 67.2 cubic
inches (dry quartz or 1876 cubic inches
(dry pint), and it shall be unlawful
to offer or expose for sale or sell
/ strawberries, blackberries, loganber-
ries, raspberries or similar berries in
! boxes or baskets of other than stand
ard size; provided, that nothing with
in this section shall be construed as
! in any way preventing the sale of
Strawberries. blackberries, loganber-
ries, raspberries or similar berries by
weight in boxes or baskets of great
er interior capacity than 67.2 cubic
| inches.
This law has been practically a
dead letter but state officials have de-
cided that it will hereafter be enforc-
ed to the letter. 1t means that here
after berry growers or shippers who
send their stock to market must pack
them in such a manner that the boxes
shall be full of fruit; level with the
top of box. 1t means that the con-
sumner will hereafter secure exactly
what he pays for.
While local growers have in some
instances been rather lax about COM
plying with this law, California has
been the principal violator. Growers
Of the south in few instances comply
with the provisions of the Oregon
law. This is especially true of the
sale of raspberries and loganberries
which are generally packed there in
butter plates that have approximately
S ounces Of fruit.
Owing TO the fact that some of this
stock is in transit from the south
and some already held by dealers here,
the state officials have made ruling
that until these shipments are dis
posed Of the sale will be allowed pro-
viding that each package is correctly
marked with the weight of the con-
tents.
The retailer who handles these
short measure California berries will
be compelled, according to Assistant |
Deputy State Sealer of Weights and |
Measures Spence Workman, to place |
q placard over these boxes announc-
ing the net weight of the fruit so that
the public will know that the stock |
is not packed in standard pints or
quarts.
Hood River has taken the initiative !
in the matter; in fact some months
ago sent out notification to the grow
ers of that district to pack their Der.
ries 3-S-inch above the top of the |
box to allow settlement in transit and |
enable the consumer to secure full
pack for his money.
Assistant Deputy Workman an
nounces that the law will be rigidly

SINGLE ITEM VETO
PLAN WILL Be UP
AT NEXT ELECTION
INITIATIVE MEASURE WILL PRE-.
SENT SUGGESTION BY
GOVERNOR WEST.

PORTLAND, ore, June 9.-The vo.
ters Of the state will have placed be-
fore them at the November election
the "singe item veto" amendment IA
the constitution for their approval OF
rejection. This amendment, in the
form Of senate joint resolution No. 70,
was drafted by the 1915 legislature
and ordered submitted 10 the people al
the the general election of 1916. II
provides that the governor shall have
power to veto single items in appro.
priation bills"
The resolution directed that a Joint
committee consisting Of two senators
and three representatives be appoint
ed to draft a suitable argument in IA
vor Of the amendment for publication
In the official election pamphlet.

Ben Selling, speaker Of the house.
appointed Representatives Cardwell OF
Douglas Lewis Of Multnomah and
Jeffries Of Clatsop. and Senators Dan
Kellaher Of Multnomah and Sam Car
land Of Linn who were appointed by
w. Lair Thompson, president Of the
senate.
1t has taken long time to secure
the submission of the single item veto
amendment to the vote of the people
II is a measure, the value of which
has been recognized and the submis-
sion of which has been urged for a
number of years. A similar amendment
drafted by Governor West and rec.
commended in his message was defeat
ed by the senate in 1913 after it had
passed the house, while the present
amendment passed the senate by a
small majority, Thompson, among
others Of the senate leaders. voting
against it.
Reason for the Amendment.
The long followed legislative prac-
tice Of tucking needless and extrava.
giant appropriation items into the gem
eral appropriation bill has given rise
to the movement for the amendment
As the constitution now stands. the
has the power to veto an en-
tire bill but not a single part or item
In the 1913 session the general appro-
rriation bills carrying appropriations
Of $4,000 900 were stIll in committee
nine days befre the adjournment Of
The legislature, and were not reported
at and passed until the last day be- /
fore adjournment.
These bills carried all the money
,oted for the maintenance of the state !
government. and it was impossible for .
he governor to disprove the bills with |
lut holding up this maintenance mon
~ for two years, or calling a special ,
session for the sole purpose of consid
sring his veto
For years those fighting against |
'normous appropriations have con-
ended against this practice. Efforts
rave been made to split the approprio-
ion bills into segments, so that use
ess appropriations could be reached
~ the legislature, or the governor,
Without endangering or defeating ne
essary and legitimate state expendi-
ures. but with little success. 1t was
'nly when public sentiment forced the
ssue that the senate bowed to the de-
nand and allowed the amendment to
,e given to the people
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-06-03

enforced. Retailers who purchase
stock either from the wholesaler or
farmer will be held for the observance
of this law so far as prosecution is
concerned. Mr.. Workman announce
es that the retailer who keeps berries
for an extended period and allows
them to settle down in the box will
be compelled to refill the boxes be-
fore sale is allowed.
The new ruling will give absolute
protection to the grower who fills his
boxes as well as to the consumer who
has heretofore pair money for some
thing he did not receive.
