SALE OF FIREWORKS

No More.

All indications point to shortage
Of fireworks this Christmas. Mayor
Ainslie Is strongly leaning that way.
Recently following a conference with
johbers who deal IN arewerke. the
mayor directed a notice be sent out
notifying all dealers that the use Of
fireworks would be prohibited after
those now in stock had been ex-
haustsd.
This notice was-@taken. 1T is said,
literally by the jobbers. But II ap-
pears. from information In the hands
OF the mayor that retailers had mis-
construed tho notice. and iabored un-
der the apprehension that they had a
right TO secure fireworks from jobbers
outside tho city. and that the notice
sent out by the mayor simply meant
that local jcbbers could not sell Are
works in the city after their present
stock had been exhausted. This mis-
understanding, II permitted to be car
ried out by the retailers. would OF
course. make the order issued by the
mayor practically worthless. IT would
have the effect OF taking business
away from the local jobbers and Civ
ing X to outsiders.
In response to a letter from a job
Der yesterday the mayor explained
that his Intentions in the original
order were that after the Jobbers and
retailers had disposed of their stocks
now on hand. the custom OF using
fireworks in Richmond on Christmas
and other holidays would be discon-

III this notice Is disregarded by the

FARM LABOR AND PEAK LOADS

Farm labor is becoming scarce and dear not on ac-
count of the employment ITSELF but of conditions sur
rounding it. 1t ceases to attract the industrious man who
wants steady work. because there are two peak load
seasons when labor is in demand and the Iaborer IS
worked harder and longer hours than at any other occ
nation One these seasons is the spring when planting
to be done and the other the late summer and fall when
the harvesting is on Wages at these times are larry
good and there is plenty of work When the harvest Is
over there is slack period in which there is not work
for all and the wage goes down. This is peculiarly so OF
those sections where one crop is relied on as the man
one The great wheat sections demand nomadlc labor
for they especially are subject to peak loads Here IN
Oregon with our diversified farming, the trouble IS not
so great for the work lasts longer Commencing IN the
spring the berries give abundant employment followed py
hav and grain harvess and then hops prunes and the
orchards Still with these advantages, there is long
season even on the Oregon FARMS when labor must per-
force be idle and work for small wages These things
naturally drive labor away from the farm and INTO the
cities and once it finds employment there 1t VIII not go
hack to the farm unless almost compelled to do So OF an
extra wage persuades This is really one OF the most
spros phases of farm life and it is one for Whch thefe
seems no remedy Diversified farming will help some but
At the best there are times when there is nothing to uS
fv the farmer in employing labor He will be true Ph
anthrophist who finds practical solution OF the problem
