Tcday, such a sight attracts attention. Many years ago, Chinese were employed by Ore gonians to clear land, and most of their supplies were carriel about by the coolies in the above manner.

Seder, 3808 73rd street, Saturday afternoon and evening, July 24. The afternoon was given over to field sports, footraces for everybody, in cluding the children, a nail driving contest for the ladies, a needle threading contest for the men, etc After the prizes had been awarded for these events, the ladies spread their lunch on tables provided for the occasion on the lawn and every body partook of a genuine Ben-Hur feast. The porch had been gaily decorated with bunting, flags and the emblems of the order and served as a stage for the rendering of the program, the guests being grouped about the lawn under the shade trees. Great credit should be given Brother J. N. Estey for the fine pro gram he arranged for the occasion, beginning with the flag salute by the children, followed by a short address of welcome by the state manager, who introduced Brother Francis M. Phelps, ' the presiding officer of No. 9. Brother Phelps gave a most interesting and touch ing account of his experiences as an army captain in the great battle of the Argonne. The program con cluded with readings and music, and then the guests were invited into the house to participate in a pro gressive game of 500, which closed the program for the day and evening. The Tribe of Hen-Hur is very actively engagaed in work in Port land at the present time, and a move ment is under way to establish new courts in various parts of the city, Work has already begun on a new court for the southeast side, to be known as Arleta Court No. 28. Mr. Seder came to Portland last Sept, ember from Boise, Idaho, to take charge of the work for the order in Oregon, and will make Portland the Northwestern headquarters for the Tribe of Ben-Hur. IS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE HERALD IN ARREARS? The low subscription price of the Herald makes it impossibe for the proprietor to carry the subscriber for a longer period than that for which he is paid. The cost of pro duction each year almost equeals the amount received, leaving practical! y no profit to the publisher. Many of our subscribers forget the subscrip tion to the weekly paper, or else they do not understand the marks, or wait for a statement of account. The mark on the margin shows the number of the week in the year and the year to which you are paid. This issue would appear as "30—20.” The thirtieth week in the year and the year 1920, the last two fig ures of the year being used, li youy subscription mark is back of that you must owe the paper. The Herald would appreciate renewals, when the time expires. The exces sive cost of paper and the cost of its production, make this imperative. How do you stand, friend subscriber? Business generally is good; in dustries are operating and labor is well employed at good wages. All crops except fruit appear to be in excellent condition, and in fruit the money value, due to increased prices, probably will equeal if not exceed the larger crop of 1919. The wheat crop of the Pacific Northwest will approximate 60,000,000 bushels, and oats will reach 30,000,000 bushels, and barley 8,000,000 bushels. Indi cations are that the quality will be good.—Business Digest.
