FARMER LEADS ALL
It is not new, but still it is worth
repeating, that the farmer is the most
important man in the industrial world.
He not only feeds everyone else, hut
he produces all the materials with
which to clothe them, and many of
those with which to house them.
It is on agriculture that the pros
perity of this country is founded, and
therefore it is only natural that the
politicians should seek the welfare of
the farmers. Probably the Depart
ment of Agriculture is the most bene
ficial branch of the government as it
is continually working to tell how to
produce better, bigger and more var
ied crops. Oranges, raisins, lemons,
, dates, figs, almonds, walnuts, olives
and many other things have been add
ed to our list of production in recent
years. Tea is now being grown in
this country. Coffee is produced in
our island possessions. It is propos
ed to introduce some of the wild ani
mals of Africa into this country to
supplement the food supply. And
while seeking new products, the gov
ernment scientists have taught the
farmer how to produce more corn and
wheat, and better live stock.
LOOKING AHEAD
Just now the farmer is prosperous.

Country Is In Need of
Rest From Agitators
By GEORGE B. HUGO. President of the Employers' Association of
Massachusetts
OUR COUNTRY UNDOUBTEDLY NEEDS A REST FROM PRO
FESSIONAL MISCHIEF MAKING AGITATORS AND UNIVERSAL
FIXERS OF EVERYTHING MORAL, POLITICAL AND ECO
NOMIC. IT DOES NOT NEED A REST, THOUGH, FROM
THOSE HONEST AGITATORS WHO VIGOROUSLY ATTACK EXISTING
ABUSES AND ADVOCATE DESIRABLE REFORMS.
The pure food agitation, for instance, deserves every encourage
ment. The "swat the fly" movement is also productive of general
good. But because it is it DOES NOT FOLLOW THAT WE
SHOULD SWAT EVERYTHING THAT PLIES, CEAWLS OR
WALKS. We seem, though, to have entered into, a NATIONAL
SWATTING CONTEST, evident in many diverging lines of en
deavor. Some of these, while not productive of good, are NOT DAN
GEROUS TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. . .
But this cannot be said of that type of agitators, inciters of class
hatred, advocates of lawlessness and violence, who frankly declare,
"The question of right or wrong does not concern us." -They attack
by this teaching the very fundamentals of morality and are therefore a
nositivA MENACE TO THE COUNTRY. : ;;

Take him as a class, and he will be
found to be enjoying most of the com
forts, and many of the luxuries of iife.
He comes pretty near being -the most
intelligent as well as the most indus
trious and provident member of the j
body politic. It is due to these facts j
that he is not content to let well j
enough alone and depend wholly on
the promises of the politicians.
The farmers all over the land are
just now closely studying the plat
forms of the various parties and are
considering whether their action at
the polls in November will be conduc
tive to the continuance of agricultur
al prosperity, or whether it might en
courage a national policy which would
decrease the income of the farmers
and lower the values of the farms.
What decision the farmers as a class
arrive at, will have very much to do
with the making of the next Presi
dent, and the next Congress.
President Taft in his keynote speech
accepting the nomination of the Re
publican party for re-election, touch
ed on the desire of the party to prd
mote the interests and welfare of the
farmers? The democratic party, while
refusing to repeal the Canadian reci
procity law, still maintains that it is
the real friend of the farmer. The
Bull Moose party at Chicago on Aug
ust 5th, asserted in practically so
many words, that the farmer's good
was its highest ambition. The Pro
hibition party, the Socialist party,
and any other parties claiming recog
nition of the people, will also claim,
without doubt, that if their tenets
and beliefs are accepted universally,
the farmer will be led gently into ways
of peace and happiness and content

NEAR COMPLETION
(Continued from page 1)
House will furnish the potatoes free
of charge, and the barbecue will be
free to all. There will be German
songs during the day. The German
Verein of this city will attend in a
body.
The Baby Show, which was such a
success last year, will be among the
features of the fair. Mrs. J. W. Lewis
will have charge of this. Clackamas
county .can produce some of the finest
looking youngsters in the state, and
many will be there.
There will be a large merry-go-round
on the ground, the committee thinks
the fair will not be a success without
one. The Ladies of the M. E. church
of Canby, who served excellent meals
in cafateria style last year, will also
serve meals this year. There will be
other lunch counters on the grounds.
There will be no fake shows on the
ground. Mr. Eby is endeavoring to
have the large exhibition building
lighted by electricity this year, which
no doubt will be welcome news by all
exhibitors. The lights used hereto
fore have been unsatisfactory.
One of the features of the fair will
be automobile day, and there will be
several hundred automobiles in the
parade, which will take place on the
race track. Prizes will be- given for
the largest number of automobiles of

3,000,000 HEIR OF
HERO ASTOR IS BORN
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. Mrs. Made
line Force Astor, survivor of the Ti
tanic disaster in which her husband,
the late Colonel John Jacob Astor,
lost his life last April, gave birth to
a son at 8:15 o'clock this morning.
The new arrival has been named John
Jacob Astor after his, father. The ba
by becomes a direct heir to $3,000,
000 of the Astor fortune.
The attending physician said moth
er and son are in good condition.
The fact that its father proved him
self a hero in the Titanic disaster and
the size of the fortune provided for a
posthumous child have lent unusual
interest to the arrival of the youngest
Astor. ' "
Colonel Astor provided that wheth
er the child was a boy or a girl, it
should receive the same sum, and ev
en if the stork had brought more than
one child, Colonel Astor's will cov
ered tha contigency.
Dr. Edward B. Crogin, an expert, at
tended Mrs. Astor, with the family
physician. Three nurses at first
watched her on shifts of eight hours
each, and later the battalion of nurses
was increased to seven. Mrs. Astor
had entirely recovered from the
shock of her experience in the Titanic
disaster. Her mother and father, Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Force, have been with
her almost continually. She recent
ly gave up her usual nightly rides in
Central Park and remained in seclu
sion. The Astor baby is one of the few
children ever born to have the abso
lute right during its minority, to make
a will disposing of $3,000,000 as it
pleases. - -
Colonel Astor left no doubt as to
what he intended to be the rights and
privileges of his posthumous child or
children. While the sum of $3,000,000
is set aside for each such child to pay
for its maintenance and education
during its minority, the accumulation
and principal to be turned over when
the child or children reach the age
of 21 years, the will also directs:
"I absolutely give, devise and be
queath the capital of the said trust
estate . . . unto such persons and
such estates, interests and proportions
as such child shall in or by his or her
last will and testament in that behalf
direct."
Should the psothumous heir die
without issue or without having made
such a will the $3,000,000 reverts -to
the Astor residuajy estate and would
benefit not the mother, but Colonel
Astor's son by his first marriage, Vin
cent Astor, who is the principal Eeir
and who is now in Europe with his
mother, Mrs. Eva Willing Astor, Col
onel Astor's divorced wife, and his sis
ter, Muriel Astor.
The Farthest West
Now rest ye wanderers westward
bound,
No farther on your pathway winds,
You hear the sunset ocean's sound
Beyond the murmur of the pines!
Behold the hill's unfolding green,
Beneath a milder sunshine lie
The water's blue unruffled sheen
Reflecting deep a kinder sky!
Such blossoming, such ripening
Was not upon the thirsty plains
On greener bifughs the wood birds
sing
New songs to you in softer strains.
Not here in storm and lightning flash,
Her might and grandeur nature
shows,
But in the thundering falls that dash
From shining mountains' summer
snows.
On chilfy shores the towering rocks
Stand grim against the briny foam,
In sun-kissed vales the fields and
flocks
Gladen the farmers' rose-ffinged home
Here list to him who cleared the wild
At old-time tales his eye still beams,
While there his, daughter's lovely
child.
Of fairer future summer's ' dreams:

On an evening somewhere about the
end of the sixteenth tentury a traveler
from Sweden might have been observ
ed at the door of the Rose theater in
London. He was going to see a new
piece called "Titus Andronicus," and
in order to follow it in the native lan
guage he bought a copy of the play,
price sixpence, at the theater door.
WJien he went home to Sweden he took
the book with him to show his wife
and friends what strange stuff the
foreigner ranted. For 300 years it was
preserved and in 1904. being discov

was transferred for safety to the Lund
university. The book is the only one

which endear him to the hearts of his subjects. During a recent visit to

LITTLE GIRL KILLED;
IS
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 14.
With the body of eight-year-old Vivi
an Greenfield lying in a morgue, a
horrible gash in the throat showing
how her life escaped, the police are
searching today throughout southern
California for C. E. Greenfield, her
stepfather, with whom the child- was
last seen alive.
The little girl's body was found yes
terday in a room in an apartment
house at Venice. Blood still was flow
ing from the wound in .the throat,
which evidently had been inflicted by
a razor.
Greenfield and the child left their
home Sunday, the man telling his wife
that he and Vivian were going for a
little trip. Sunday they spent at the
beach here, various concessionaires
along the Midway remembering the
happy little girl and the man who
seemed to be providing the fun.
Monday, according to the police,
the man and the child again made
merry along the beach, and in the eve
ning Greenfield again sought a room
for the night. His finances were at
a low ebb, and It was only after try
ing several places that he was able to
secure accomodations.
The authorities are at a loss to sup
ply a motive for the crime. Physi
cians who examined the child's body
say the murder evidently was not the
act of a perverted person, a theory
that was at first advanced.
Greenfield has not been seen since
the little girl's death. His description
has been sent to the police in every
Pacific coast city.
Tides and Storms. .
When a tempest is approaching or
passing out on the ocean the tides are
noticeably h'gher than usual, as if the
water had been driven in a vast wave
before the storm. The Influence ex
tends to a great distance from the cy
clonic storm center, so that the possi
bility exists of foretelling the approach
of a dangerous hurricane by means of
indications furnished by tide gauges
situated far away from th? place then
occupied by the whirling winds. The
fact that the tidal wave outstrips the
advancing storm shows how extreme
ly sensitive the surface of the sea is
to the changes of pressure brought to
bear upon it by the never resting at
mosphere. Inconsiderate.

SON TO POOR NEGRESS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Deeply
touched by the pathetic story of little
Joe Wilford Johnson, a 10-year-old
white boy, found living in unspeak
able squalor at the home here of Nora
Johnson, a negress, where he is al
leged to have been placefl by his
mother, a society woman, all Wash
ington today is eagerly awaiting fur
ther developments.
"Nora is my 'brown-faced muvver,' "
lisped the lad today "but I got a white
faced muvver, too. I dess she don't
! care much for me, 'cause she hardly
ever comes."
Major Sylvester, head of Washing
ton's police force, openly asserted to
day that the mother had deserted the
boy, placing him where he would be
certain to succumb to death by en
forced imprisonment.
Joe was found in a dark room where
he had been held for at least a month.
His body bore many bruises and
wounds, indicating that he ha8 been
brutally beaten. The- negress, Nora
Johnson, is held on a charge of mal
treating the boy. Judge Delancy of
the juvenile court is thoroughly
i aroused over the case. He said:
"This negress was not merely paid
as a nurse. Joe was given her as
part of a studied plan to place him
where he would die. It is the most
heartless example of unnatural moth
erhood that has ever come to my at
tention. Slow but sure murder was
i the fate this woman planned for her
boy."
To prevent the child from being kid
napped, a heavy guard was placed ov
er him today. The police searched
the home of the Johnson woman today
and found letters which confirm their
belief that Joe's mother is a promi
nentsociety w7Jm. Several valuable
clues were secured and Major Syl
vester announced he would place the
city's entire detective force on the
case, if necessary to run them down.
Equal to the Occasion.
A lady entering her kitchen one
morning saw a knife, fork and plate
as well as the remains of a rabbit pie.
Suspecting that a certain policeman
had sapped at her expense, she ques
tioned the maid. "Jane," she said,
"what has become of the cold rabbit
pie?" "I gave It to the dog, mum," re
plied Jane. "Does the dog use a knife
and fork, then?" demanded the mis
tress. "Not very well yet, mum," said
Jane, quite unabashed, "but I'm teach
ing him to." London Telegraph.

rated word of Bert H. Franklin, a
self-confessed felon."
This was the substance of the im
passioned appeal of Earl Rogers, chief
counsel for barrow, to the jtfry that
will decide the fate of the defendant
in his trial for jury bribing.
. Rogers moved his- auditors to tears
and to laughter as he willed. He
spoke at length on the social and eco
nomic problems which he declared 1
produced dynamitings, and which, he !
said, would have to be solved immedi
ately. Touching on every feature of the
trial, illustrating his address with
charts, huge lists of witnessss and dia
grams, Rogers made a great address.
Even Juror Ritter, ,vho sat with his
face to the wall during the speeches
of Assistant District Attorney Ford
and Defense Counsel Appel, faced the
speaker and watched. Rogers closely
all morning.
Rogers closed his morning address
with an arraignment of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Ford and the entire
case against Darrow. Because Ford
accused the defense of attributing to
the late Judge Cyrus S. McNutt state
ments that, according to the prosecu
tion, he never made, Rogers turned
wrathfully to the prosecutor ca.ling
him a "prurient-minded, scaly-tongued
person, who would desecrate the
grave of a dead man."
Rogers also characterized the evi
dence that has been presented againsi
Darrow as "a vomiting of turkey buz
zards." During the course of his plea.Rog

statement: "While I was employed by
the Merchants' and Manufacturers' as
