We had our corn worked over the second time, and it looked fine. We thought that thing3 looked considerably un certain about our crop. Well, we braced up and we planted the corn over again on the 20th of June and we raised a fine crop of fodder and half a crop of corn, and lots of soft frost bitten corn, for the frost gave a bite at the corn in the Fall hence we had the earlier and the latter frost that year in Illinois.

BASEBALL r.NO SINGLE TAX. J. M. Park, of Dodge, Preaches Agalnit Sunday playing. Dodge, Or., April 29: (Editor of the Enterprise.) I will wrlto a few linos, hoping soino good might result therefrom, concerning the Sunday law. Our young men have been allowed to play baseball on Sunday In Oregon, whenever and wherever they please. Now I hope Sunday practice may be stopped, as It seems to me It creates an unrest. Our old parties are losing ground by allowing ball games and many other games to go on. The Sa loon closing was an awful good thing, so now why not havo a quiet Sunday and w-e will have a country of pcuco and happiness. The writer of this Is not a church member but an old hall player. Now, as to the slnglo tax law to be voted on In next June, It seems to n.e any sane man knows our Statu and county has to have as much money to run the expenses under tho single tax system as under tho present system, so If tax is taken off Improvements and put on real estate, tho taxes will be heavier on tho farms and will bo the means of many a man losing bis home. The single tax will not help tho city either; tho same apply to both farm and city. Tho lots will bo taxed Jiist as high as the house and lota both were. So middle men and tho poor class had bettor think before vot ing. It would be a good law for tho corporations, J. M. PARK. MRS. DUNIWAY'8 APPEAL. Ask the Men of Oregon to Give the Women Suffrage. Gentlemen, Voters, Sons, Brothers: I am growing old, but I cannot rest until you have given us tho victory. Every hour I spend In this service In a labor of love. Every dollar I do nate Is a personal sacrifice. Have tho faithful mothers of Oregon not earned your affirmative votes for their full and free franchlaement? You ought not to be afraid of us. You aro equipped with ballots. We are not. We are depending upon you to honor our flag of truce by voting "Yes" in our behalf in this unequal contest. You kriow you would only compel us to' repeat this strugglo in 1910 If you should fall us now. Hut we believe you will not fall. You have but to unlock the door to the closed citadel of liberty, leaving us free to choose for ourselves, exactly as you do, as to Whether-to vote or not to vote, at every succeeding . election. Thus only can you acquit yourselves as freemen and relieve us from fur ther effort to secure equality with our sons before the law. ,.

I.lndcn, pimlor of the First Hoptlst Church, scored hla par lshoners who pick hops lu a sermon last Sunday evening. Tho church was crowded as the sermon topic was an nounced, as 'Hop Growing and Pick ing, or Should Professed Followers of Jesus Christ Indulge." Mr. Linden handled the subject without gloves, and sulci: "It Is not my mission tonight to antagonize or to heap scathing de nunciation upon those who for recrea tion or remuneration frequent tho hop REV. JOHN yards during the picking season. It is, however, my mission If I am a faithful minister of Christ's Gospel to awaken conscience regarding every questionable practice Jn which tho followers of the Ird Jesus may bo engaged.
