TIMES ARE NOT HARD

Don't talk hard times when hop
yards cannot be picked for want of
pickers. Growers have been running
around here this week actually crazy
for picKers and the demand could not
near be met. Many of the yards got
through picking, but the pickers re-
turned home deciding that they had
made their fortunes and did not care
for any more work III that line, es-
pecially at so cents per cwt. Then so
many found it paid them better to pick
berries. 1t is hoped that those having
hops still on the vines will be able to
get pickers as the market For hops seems
to be getting tronger.-Woodb In

Are times "hard" in the willamette
valley' Do you know of any unem-
ployed men who really want to works
Think of the present situation. Hop
growers unable to secure help enough
to pick their crop; road supervisors com
planning that they are unable to get
men to work the roads, and fuel dealers
unable to find men and teams to haul
wood to fill orders already on hand

It is my policy to tell all the good things I know and these let ters are for you, and you alone to criti- cize.

 Becky dear, do believe that each week the pictures in the Rotogravure of The Age-Herald improve and they print equal to any photographs know of, and this week on the front page are three fall brides, Mrs. Albert Joseph Day, who was Miss Myra Agnes Long of Ensley. Let me tell you funny thing about the an- nouncement of her marriage, too. Her parents have the same initials as Louise Longs parents and when I saw this an- nouncement at once called up Mrs. Long Nouise's mother) and inquired if they were to have two weddings in one family so near together as these two were, but Mrs. Long relieved my mind by saying that there were no more girls at home like Louise"
 Then there is Mrs Blaney (Annie Don- elly), who, by the way, is visiting here now, and Mrs. Zemria Riddle of Huffman, and cute little girl. Willie Mae Bun-
 
 quite a splendid reader for one of her age.
 At the top of one page was Mrs. Thomas Parke, who is one of Birning- hams most beloved and popular women. Mrs. Sterling Foster and Mrs. Edward Cabaniss are two other popular matrons that we feel quite proud of. The picture of Mrs. Carle Seals is fine. She was Mary Morris Clarke of Mobile before her marriage and we have been so delighted to have her make her home here and I don't know any young women who has any more real friends than she. heard real cute thing about Mrs. Seals that one of her Sunday school boys said. When all the soldiers were going away, Major Seals among them, one of the little fellows said: John, have you ever seen Mrs. Seals husband?" One little boy spoke up and said "Well, I don't know him, but Mrs. Seals is so lovely her self I am sure that she would not have married him if he wasn't, too.'
 There was big bride picture in the cen- ter of Mrs. Leon Harris, who now makes her home in Chicago.
 The picture of Miss Roberta Wilson, who is quite famous now as a movie, star but who was formerly a Birmingham girl, was just splendid. The picture was loaned to The Age-Herald by a special friend of Miss Wilson and will come as a surprise to her as well as a number of her friends here.
 The picture of Lottie Belden we think quite good Miss Belden is one of Bir mingham's most promising young musi- clans, and I hear that%there is quite future in store for her.
