HOP PICKING.
The boys and girls of Chemawa are
looking forward with a great deal of
pleasure to their annual outing in the
hop-fields near the school. This is a
source of pleasure as well as profit for
the Chemawa boys and girls. The boys
go into camp in charge of some of the
men employes and their rations are taken
to tliem each day during the picking sea
son, which lasts from two to three weeks,
while the girls go on hayracks each day
to near-by yards in charge of some of the
lady employes, returning to the school
for a late supper, their noon lunch being
taken to them and eaten under the tall
firs near the hop-fields.
It is an inspiring sight to see them
start off after breakfast singing and
laughing and returning in the evening
in the same mood,: having earned from
one to three dollars during the day.
This year the picking will commence
about September fifth. More than twen
ty growers have" asked to be supplied
with pickers, but six yards will be all
that the Chemawa boys and girls can
pick. s ,
FLAG OF CALIFORNIA.
Oh, flag of California,
(Dear Land of Heart's Desire)
Bathe in the breeze of morning,
Flash in the sunset's fire.
Wave from the high Sierras,
Those mountains proud and cold,
Down to the vine-clad valleys,
Down to the fields of gold.
Wave over bowers of beauty,
O'er fruits and fiower3 fair
Guard in our mighty forests
The surly, curly bear.
Moat o'er the strong and fearless,
Here where the heart beats free,
Here where the worn and weary
Rest by the Western Sea.
Wave o'er the sons who love thee,
And prize thee beyond compare
Flag of the land of sunlight,
The poppy and the bear.
The above poem was written by Miss
Gussie Turney, of Los Angeles, sister of
our Mr. Turney, winning the first cash
prize offered by Hamberger's Depart
ment Store of that city, competition be
ing open to the state.
