For one who is thoroughly acquainted with all the phases of Oregon life the questions would not have been hard The tendency of the Oregon schools is to braneb out from Oregon to the rest of the world and it is very neces sary for a teacher to be thoroughly acquainted with Oregon. The following is a liat of the suc cessful applicsnts: Oregon State Life: Miss I.unah W Wallace, Ontario. Five Year State: Miss Nannie Dun can, Ironsides.

"I have been up to my ranches get ting the haying crews started and giv ing attention to other personal busi neas," said Mr. William Hanlev, candi date for I'nlted State senator and one of the leading cattlemen of Harney county, who was registered nt The Moore, over .Saturday and Sunday." "and I have not heard much about politics, but I guess there has been no marked change since I left Port land. Just at this mid-season, f.irmers nnd ranchers are too busy harvesting their splendid crops lo give more than a casual moment to things political." Mr llnnley came from his home ranch, the Hell A, via Burns to .lu tura by automobile, stopping off be tween trains at Vale. He said that in all of the years he had been In this part of Oregon, he never saw the con ditions better and the farmers bus ier. "Why, alt along the route I no ticed great actlvltv nnd as far as I could tell the farmers are pretty well al g wth their harvesting There Is a world of activity. Certainly one cannot see signs of the social unrest that people are talking about, at any rate not In this section of Oregon At any rate the farmers of Malheur and Harney counties haven't the same com plaint as the farmers of the middle west -there seems to be no real scar city of farm laboi The coining in of the homeslttadera. many of whi h I find are real farm hands, ami willing to work In the fields, are helping to solve this question for us. "Anyway, Its deeds, not words, that count In this or any part of the coun try and right now everyboiM seems to I., doing il Is that count During the dog days, politics is at a stand tall. It won't be before the first or the middle of August that things will begin to warm up. 1 am quiet set's fled with the outlook. Of course a man who ia In the public eye must expect to be under keen srruteny and I guess the good people down In (In- lower county are satisfied that t am all right, for ray candidacy has been r Ived -i kllldl) I haven't lost faith In hiiinanlD. The people are honest lis the Individual who some times goes wrong that In a meaaure createa your social unrest. Il will cull for real unselfish personal sa crifices to bring about the cure for this evil. Yet to my way of thinking the picture is being greatly overdiawn There Is a way out. Thinking men will find the auawer and prescribe a remedy The splendid crops over the country can mean but one thing a greater prosperity to all ."
