The average choir master would have been helpless un der the circumstances that confront ed director Robinson, who finding himself in, a tight fllace if he intended to make his 'church appointment, used a livery rig at one end of his trip, and an automobile and taxi at the other end, getting on his church job by the skin of his teeth. At that he was luckier than his tenor soloist, for on the previous Sunday, that man lost a ten dollar gold piece through a similar anxiety to get to church. Park Place high school students ar-e rejoicing in the possession ot their first annual. The magazine is exceeding creditable, and gives ex ery evidence of the most careful sup ervision of the editor-in-chief, Miss Amy Peckover. The number of ad vertisements also shows that the bus iness manager, Miss Lillie, was on the job. Doubtless the next year will see another annual, and by that time the. editorial staff win have had more experience. - 1 The awning in fronth of J.

As is usual after the holiday rush, there is a scarcity of stock of all kinds. Some few cattle were brought in for Monday's market which sold at $7.25 for top but $7.00 was the price obtained for most of the stuff offered. As this was not in any sense fancy stock, the good demand ex plains the price received. There is a particularly strong demand for good cows and the market is a little high er. The shipments of hogs have been unusual'' y light. Not a head in the yards Friday the 28th and $7,60 was the extreme top for the week and $7.50 prevailed in most instances. There is a good steady market for sheep. Choice yearling wethers bringing $5.50 and two years olds $5.25. Choice ewes $4.50 and prime lambs- easily $6.75.

OREGON CITY 7TH AND MAIN . STREETS Cannery at Mt. Pleasant Probably the greatest boon for the Mt. Pleasant section, which is but a short distance from Oregon City, is their new cannery which is now put ting its first output on the market. This cannery is owned and operated by a stock company, the members of which are all growers and live at Mt. Pleasant. A. A. Pease is president of the new concern and P. W. Meredith is secretary. John Christensen, Rob ert Clark and E. E. Kellogg are stock holders and are among those who have an interest in the products of the plant. The cannery is located on the Mag nolia Fruit & Poultry Farm which is owned by John Christensen an is in the center of a fine fruit section, no te for its fine quality of berries, grapes prunes an apples. Among . the pro ucts of this cooperative canning plant are, corn, string beans, Bartlett pears, Italian prunes, jelly, grape juice, prune butter, sweet cider, vinegar, etc. Some of these products have been sampley by representatives of "Ore gon City Publicity" and pronounced to. be extra fine. "We intend to double our output next year and 'will add a large variety of good to our list,'1' said H. R. Jacob son, who is interested In the cannery and is acting as traveling salesman. This statement was made to mem bers of the Oregon City oCmmercial Club who are very much pleased over the success of this new enterprise. The fact that Clackamas County has not only farmers who have the ability to produce fruit and vegetables of par excellence but also can operate their own business and sell to a good ad vantage, is quite gratifying to all those interested in the progress of this section. No doubt more such plants will be installed in other neighborhoods in the near future as it is evident that the organization of a stnall can-. ning . company is the means of the growers making more money. (Oregon City . Publicity.) FOOTBALL TEAM lTO GIVE DANCE FOR INJURED PLAYER The Oregon City football team will give their annual dance this evening at Busch's Hall. Prasp's orchestra of Portland will furnish the music, while each member of the team will see that all guests are well entertain ed.

Heretofore the big' stores have kept open on New Year's despite the fact of its being a national holiday, but the owners at a conference Monday evening decided to give their employ es a holiday so will close their places of business. It was agreed by all that it would be better in the long run, for the prospective buyers will have to make purchases some time, and if they are not enabled to make them New Year's and they have any money left, which most Oregon City folk wi'l have, for they are sensible they wil make them Thursday, Fri day and Saturday. The employes, of course, are happy and they will enjoy, the great national holiday to the full est extent. FARM CROPS Stable Manure Supplies Many Plant Pood Elements and Adds Humus tc the Soil Calcium Should be Ap plied Howard Eldridge, Porterville, New York, writes as follows: "I am a far mer living in Erie county, New" York. The soil raises very good crops in everything excepting wheat an'd oats The average yield of this grain for the past few years has - been fifteen or twenty bushels to the acre, as com pared to fifty bushels to an acre a few years ago. How can this land be im proved?" The principal plant food elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. These are necessary for the production of crops. If any one of these elements is deficient, it will mean that the crop production will be lessened. Continuous cropping 'ith out rotation, combined with poor cul tivation, is bound to result in de creased yields. The nitrogen can be replenished by growing leguminous crops, such as clovers, cowpeas, soy beans, vetches, etc. Also, by applying stable manure, or plowing under a legume as a green manuring crop! By doing this you not only supply nitrogen to your soil, but you improve its physical condition by adding vegetable matter. Very few soils require potassium. This is especially so of sandy soils, although if the soil is not in good physical condition, the potassium may not be available, but if you supply the vegetable matter either in the form of green manure or stable manure, it will tend to make the potassium available. It may be necessary to supply phos phorus in the form of a commercial fertilizer, which may be done by using finely ground phosphate rock, provid ing the soil is in the proper physical condition. The phosphate rock, will cost you only about half as much and contains practically twice as much phosphorus as acid phosphate. The best way of handling rock phosphate is to spread it in the stables with the bedding or to scatter it on the manure pile. The decaying df the stable manure will tend to render the phos phorus available. The other principle element, which is especially important if you expect to grow leguminous crops such as clover and alfalfa, is calcium. This may be supplied by the use of finely ground limestone rock.- The need of calcium is shown by the presence of horse sorrel, and the failure of legumes to grow. There is another way of determining the acidity of the soil or the lack of calcium by the use ofj'litmus paper, which may be purchased sat'any drug fitnre. Place the most "soii nronnd the litmus paper for ten or fifteem rinutes. If the blue ,aper is turned to a'fHnkVsh or reddish color, ft will indicata' that your soil requires lime. Finely ground limestone may be applied at the rate of from one tb eight tons to the acre. 1 Vi V; -J- 4 , v ft 4m C J ..'- 14 t -A 9 c o - , in,.. depending upon how badly your soil needs calcium, but the usual applica tion varies from one to four tons. The other factors which enter into crop production are the selecting of good seed and the preparing of the soil. It is possible that the seed that you are using has become somewhat run out and needs to be replaced by pure seed. Combine with this the preparation of a good seed bed which is very important in order to obtain a satisfactory yield of small grain. - Generally. "How much does your, wife pay fo' her hats?"

Ford, pastor of the Meth odist Curch, announced Monday even ing that there would be a big old fash ioned dinner at the church at noon New Year s. While Dr. Ford did not vouchsafe the information, it has been learned that he was the in stigator of the prospective "feed".
