Mexican Oil
Diggers Ask Pay
for Idle Time

Mexico City, Sept. l7.-When
the oil companies decide 10 resume
operations aon large scale in the
Tampico districts workmen will
not rush back to their old posi-
tions, according to labor leaders
here.
The workers will demand pay
ment for all of the time they have
lost since the shutdown, due to the
low price of oil.
1t is believed, however, that this
plan to collect for days of idleness
cannot be carried out, as many of
the oil field workers are in great
need and will rush to get employ
ment at the first opportunity.
But the claim for back pay may
be used by agitators to cause fric-
tion after operations are resumed.
Extraordinary r e c u o s
against the spreading of disease
are being taken at Tampico be-
cause Of the great number Of idle
and INDECENT persons there.

Every detail of the state fair is
rapidly being whipped into shape,

ber 26, when the big gates swing
open, the final activity of plac-
ing the exhibits should be finished
and the grounds and buildings
ready to turn over to the Oregon

civic organizations from various
places of the state, and 1t is ex-
pected that they will come thou

songs and booster yells. Prizes for
the best will be given, with sill
yer trophy teh most coveted award
offered.

light New Feature;
Free Attractions To
Be Many

For the first time in the history
of the Oregon state fair, patrons
will have the privilege of Witness
ing horse racing by moonlight.
The moon, however, will not be
called upon to furnish the entire
Illumination. This will be the
work Of battery OF powerful
reachlights and arc lights ar
ranged around the entire track,
and which will be SO placed as to
completely flood the course with
strong light. Expert electricians
are now at work on the system.
That these races will be by far
the biggest and most ATTRACTIVE en-
tertainment feature Of the week is
a foregone conclusion. Since the
tentative announcement was made
a short time ago, applications for
racing privileges have been pour
ing into the office Of Secretary A..
II. Lea. Horsemen are offering to
send their finest strings, making
1t possible to announce fast speed
events at these races. 1t was first
planned to make them a one-night
drawing card, but with the enthu-
siasm already displayed, it is deem
ed consistent to stage them every
night, or at least four or five
nights.
Free Features Many

the entries those of the Drumhel-

portion of the Northwest will be

1t is believed that this show

the most densely populated with

the United States. Good road en-
thusiasts claim that the large

the fact that there are thousands
of miles of improved boulevards

that the large number of automo- 4

! WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
In Half BY Food And Grain
Making And Saving

Atlanta, Observation-Disclosures
prices for cotton, such as we had
year ago cannot. reasonably be expect
ed for a long time to come. European
countries that normally use half our
crop are so thoroughly disorganized
and paralyzed in a business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come" said H. q.
Hastings, President Of the great
Southeastern Fair.
"This situation which we cannot.
control. calls for lower costs Of max
ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on ones s,
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
"The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk COWS and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane-
Gus crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in Importance, is
the home vegetable garden which IS
the quickest and cheapest source OF
food in the world.
Most folks here in the South don't
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the lick and a pronli
ise' sort of gardens and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind.
'FWe have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a-reall
garden, plant it, tend it and keep 1t
replanted through the season, that it
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
"The garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest. 1t starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table comes
out of the garden.
"If rightly tended and replanted it
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden is life.

this kind in 1921"

the nation can not prevent terrific
losses to the South nor remove the
necessity for acreage reduction and
other supply of the staple with the
demand. A nationwide and under
standing sympathy, however, can and
will make it easier for us to get the
financial support necessary to tide
over the present emergency and will
protect us from the reerection of
barriers to foreign trade without
which the cotton farm can never
thrive.
