(Bv Daniel l.. Cady.)
TO clean house is still some job,
As any eye can see.
And vet it ain a hackumStance
To what it used to be
When Ma pinned mp her Bingham dress,
And Pa took off his blouse,
And everybody pitched right in
And wen. % cleaning house.
The dishes, pictures, beds and chairs
Soon found themselves outdoors;
Our yard was jest as full of things
As two compartment stores;
You'd pose we fitted pedlars out,
The same as Broadway Rouss-
That's how our dooryard used to look
The day we cleaned the house.
The mantcl clock it licked away
Beneath the Harvey tree;
The victuals safe was next the road
And bread and cheese was free;
The hitching post held up my brace
OF dust-Consorying grouse,
And Henry Clay stood on his head
The day we cleaned the house.
We cracked the family looking glass
\ little more each year,
But didn't throw il down the bank
For things them days was dear;
We glued the whatnot shelves back in
We "fnished up" the souse,
And burnt 4 bunch of wax-work flowers
Each time we cleaned the house.
The elothesline rocked with quilts an(
mats,
And long the portico,
Stood all the windowshades there was
Upstairs and down below;
! And every window that was washed
had To 90 and douse
With water that | pumped myself,
The day we cleaned the house.
We scrubbed the chairs and blackc,
the stove
And took the heater of.
And secured the ikon grandpa Trip
Brought back from Pcterhoff;
We each could see the others Work,
There WASH / no chance TO chopse,
And sometimes two was mad at once
The day we cleaned the house.
Tho Sunday school collection box,
And rarcgoric shelf.
Was things that Ma attended TO
Entirely by herself;
And once she said, or nearly said,
Jim Trip, put on your blouse
And 90 away and doctor sheep,
While | refresh this house.
| The time orr goods was back inside
\ Twas ten o clock, about;
II We couldn I BEDFORD all the beds
II And SO ! went without;
II Twas fun to lay there on the flo
II rs quiet as q mouse
III J never had no other fun
U The day we cleaned the house.

business of the northwest is eentered

will be handled this year through the
Salem houses and all, this business is
being financed by the Ladd q Bush
bank.
"The evergreen blaekberries is be-
coming a great asset to the county.
There is q demand for 1000 acres Of
%evergreens.
Through the Salem Fruit Union,
pitted cherries that were formerly
thrown away were sold for 80 cents
a pound. We had one offer Of 20
cents but we sold for the IS. Black
Republican cherries, heretofore with
scarcely a market we can sell at from
5 to 80 cents a pound.
California concerns are getting
their fingers into all this great bust
ness. They already own both of the
big canneries in Salem and have plants
at The Dalles, Vancouver, Portland,
Wenatchee and Lewiston, Idaho. LIB
by, Mcneil and Libby have plants at
Yakima and The Dalles.
"The finest pears and cherries grown
in Oregon are shipped out Of the state
under California labels. There are
some people that have never heard Of
our fine fruits who have been ealing It
for years under California labels. Cal
ifornia already has a throttle hold on
our great fruit industry.
"Salem should not 90 to sleep ON

skin any community in California.
"Puyallup men have been sneakin9
around in this valley trying to get
hold Of some Of this big business. We
have the finest fruit land in the world
and while we ask 800 an acre for It,
California is getting from $500 to
$1,000 an acre. They ask $500 an
acre for prune tracts in California
and you can buy all you want in this
valley a lot better for 5000 an acre.
