EXCURSION
OF FARMERS
IS POSTPONED
LATE CROPS CAUSE OF
CHANGE IN DATE.
Homeseekers' Special Will
Come West Some Time
In September.
The Homeseekers' Special, sched
uled to leave Omaha July J 9, to bring
300 people to Oregon to view the agri
cultural possibilities of the state, has
beea postponed until some time in
September.
This information was received here
today in a letter from Geclge Quayle
secretary of the state chamber of
commerce, which organization was
sponsoring the trip.
Gordon J. Taylor, representing the
Clackamas Realty Board, arrived in
Omaha Monday as the special repre
sentative of Clackamas county. He
was: sent to confer with those mem
bers of the party who would.be espec
ially interested in the advantages of
this district. Plans were also being
made by the local realtors to enter
tain the visitors, who were to arrive
; in Oregon City July 29.
Late Crops Cause Delay.
The reason for the postponement
of the excursion Is that jthe late
crops ' have made it impossible for
many of the farmers who are now
engaged in harvesting, to leave. Tne
date, which will be some time in Sep
tember, has not been definitely set.
Mr. Taylor will probably finish his
preliminary advertising work for
Clackamas county, and return here.
The letter from Secretary Qual
follows:
"This office s just in receipt of a
telegram from J. P. Heuring, the
state chamber representative at Oma
ha and Kansas City, recommending
that the excursion date of farmers
from the middle West be postponed
until September.
''The reasons given are that be
cause of the excessive rains through
out that section, there are miles of
wheat in Kansas, Nebraska and Mis
souri still in the shock and the
weather is such that it cannot be
threshed and the farmers are unable
to leave at this season of the year.
The farmers interviewed by the Un
ion Pacifc men and others assisting
in the work, have stated that the
would be glad to come to Oregon in
September, and request that the date
for them to leave be postponed until
thatjf time.
Conference Is held.
"Upon receipt or this telegram, a
conference was held with our execu
tive committee and it was decided to
change the date of leaving Omaha
from July 19 to some date in Septem
ber. "As the Northwest Grain and Hay
Show is to be held at Pendleton from
September 19 to 24 and the state fair
nt Salem from September 26 tc Octo
ber 1, it is possible the itinerary may
be so arranged as to give the farmers
from the middle West ar. opportunity
of attending; these places.
"We realize that the crops :n Sep
tember in Oregon will not be at at
tractive as in July, but if the farmers
can be at Pendleton and Salem on
the above named dates, they will get
a gcod deal of the crops raised in
every sectio n of tne state
CLUB WORK FOR BOYS
AND GIRLS ADVISED IN
CLACKAMAS COUNTY
Important Opportunity for
Education Neglected,
Says Visitor.
Home beautification and1 dairy

jects that "ara very helpful. in many
communities but have not yet been
taken up by the girls and boys as
club work in Clackama3 county, al
though this county is clearly the lea
der in club work, having won 11 of
the 15 project prizes in state-wide
contests This at least is the view of
C. J. Mcintosh, agricultural press ed
tor of the state agricultural college,
who was a visitor in Oregon City
last week.
Training Held Good.
In home beautification -work, he ex
plains, the children taking it iip draw
plans of the homesteads as they are,
and usually take a few kodak views
of tho premises They then submit
plans for malting the ground, and
buildings more attractive and con

proved proceed with the actual work
of bringing, the grounds into harmony
with the approved plans This work
fcot only provides the best of train
ing for the children but likewise adds
to the attractiveness of home life,
particularly life in the -country.
The dairy record keeping goes"
hand-in-hand with the advancement
of dairy interests in acorclance with
the campaign recently conducted in
the county by W. A. Holt, county
agent, and E. B. Fitts of the college
extension service. This campaign had
for its purpose r more dairy cows
through which to market forage crops
rather than sell the hay off the place
and better cows to give the farmer
40 or 5o pounds of butter fat per ton
of hay instead of 20 or 30 as many
cows do.
Records Are Kept.

Unhappy Marriages
Wonder how all these June brides and bridegrooms
are getting along? Have their honeymoons been all
that was expected? Or are some of 'em already getting
a little frayed around the edges suggesting that the
wedding garment was not made of very enduring ma
terial. Philosophers and educators are deploring the great
number of divorces and they feel they are a sinister
fact in modern life. Can anything be done to remove
. the causes of these tragedies ?
Commonly such matrmonial wrecks are attributed
to lack of congeniality between the two parties; also
to the fact that many people are wedding after very
short acquaintance, when they know little about each
other. But perhaps the biggest cause of all is that so
many married couples set up their housekeeping with
out those two bears lacking which no home is a success.
These two bears are "Bear and forbear." i
It takes a lot of personal adjustment for people to
live together. If folks have a considerate spirit, are
willing to make allowances for each other and not to
expect perfection, then persons of very different inter- .
ests and characters often get along admirably. Even if
they do not have a passionate love for each other at
first, yet as children come, as they help each other along
the toilsome path, the deeper affection grows, and the
ties that bind the heart strings become stronger every
year.
Two people may be interested in precisely the same
things, but if they are selfish and inconsiderate, they
are jarring on each other every minute, each feeling
that the other is not taking the fair share of the com
bined load. , '"'.
Soon they are taken by some new face or fancy
and want to shift partners. People who are passing
through their first matrimonial jars, should reflect on
what a miserable tragedy separations usually are, and
ask themselves if they purpose to do everything possible
in the way of sacrifice and service.

TO BE POUGHT
AT REHEARING
Opposition to the raise in tel
phone rates, in regard to which a re
hearing is to be held before the Public
Service commission July IS, is being
organized for here under the direc
tion of the Oregon Telephone federa
tion, ar organ iyition formed last
March for this purpose.
Mayor James Shannon yesterday
authorized Mrs. A. D. McDonald to
solicit volunfary ..contributianjg to
carry on this work in the name of
the federation
At a former hearing before the com
mission' a 33 1-3 per cent raise was
authorized. - Upon the ground that the
ates were raised more than this
amount, a re-hearing was granted.
The fight against the raise is beic;
waged by the Willamette Valley Tele
phone company, composed of rural
owners, and the Oregon ..Telephone
federation.
The Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company justifies the raises
upon the basig that . the increase is
compatible with the increased cost of
ismess operations ; and the new ex-
improvements for staging the event
to make a perfect spot for a two
weeks' outdoor educational, recrea
tional and entertaining diversion.

President Cross, who has been a
director of the association since its
