Some make such representations knowing them to be false, others because they know no better. The responsibility for this condition rests with the dental profession, A great many people would not accept a rubber or celluloid plate if they only understood the superiortty of a metal plate in cleanliness, health fulness and durability.

I notice that tho Krebs Bros, are again at their old game to secure about twice an many pickers as they can use so an to allow a picker to only pick about one box of hops a day and then lay off, spend what he has made with tho Arm. Tho Oregon hop growers aro not all such men as are Krobs Bros., and do not systematically aim to get back every dollar paid to the pickers. The average hop grower doea not go to the north end of Portland and Seat tle and get the scum of such places to pick his hops, but aims to get de cent and respectable people to har vest his crop, and he does not aim to get 90 per cent back from the hop pickers as is done by a great many of the so called hop klng9 of Oregon. Hops will be earlier than coniinon, and growers think picking will begin about August 25th.
