The eagerness of brewers to pur chase 1913 contracts at 15c a pound is indicated by their small surplus. It is stated that in no time during re cent years have stocks of hops in the hands of brewers throughout the world been so limited as at the pres ent time. Market for spot hops continues very firm. There has been a gradual hard ening tendency in the price of the poorer grades, and the range of prices is from 17 to 20c a pound. Business has recently been reported at both figures. Spot hops are being held firmer than contracts by growers. There is a fair amount of business available at the price now quoted, and the movement is held back only by the lack of gen eral offering by the country. Prevailing Oregon City price are a follows: HIDES (Buying) Green salted, 7c to 8 c; sheep pelts 25c to 65c each. FEED (Selling) Shorts, $26; bran $24; process barley $27 to $28 per ton.

By EDWIN A. NYE. "THE WOMAN TEMPTED ME." "Sixty -nine per cent o&the Inmates of a western prison,'" says a recent writer, "say that they were led to com mit crime by the extravagance of their wives." Balderdash! Within the limits of a reasonable probability it may be stated that 69 per cent of that 09 are unconscionable liars. There's Adam, for instance. Scarcely can there be a donbt that our valiant foiuesir lusted after that forbidden fruit until his mouth water ed over the thought of its succulence. And. after. lie hiid hypnotized Eve to' the point or plucking away the apple, be laid the entire blame on her frail young shoulders' "The woman thou gavest me, she tempted me.'' -And the males of lineal descent from Adam to now have followed the like excuse. Now It must be admitted there are some silly, improvident and extravagant wives. . And it may In? that some hus bands of weak brain stuff have Indi rectly been drlveu' to the commission of a crime by the sort of wife who insists upon spending more money than her husband earns, .but The excuse is a f rnjed one. . The reasons - why ' a jnan gets drunk are varied. He gets drunk because he wants to drink, or because somebody invites him,. or rbecause .be has made a bad jlnvestment.. or because be is mad at somebody, or just because. - , Under -the influence of the liquor be commits a crime. '-,-..: Whereupon, having, been brought to bay. he whines. abjectedly concerning his '"wretched .domestic affairs" and avows that.be was driven to the, crime by the extravagance- or the nagging or the unfaithfulness of-biSyWife. Mostly f such charges, are, libeL Exceptions aside, more ' men than women are extravagant. .And the av erage wife will undergo more personal sacrifice for .the sake of ithe .family than, the t husband. - And. . exceptions aside, wives are more faithful j than husbands." . ..- The, woman, . however is made the scapegoatfor the husband's, sins. That husband who seeks to .hide his frailties behind,. a woman's petticoat Is mostlyi noti merely a liar, but a cow ard as well. ' The Curious Elephant.

Dimick's project to econ omize in educational appropriations begins with an attack on the rural schools. These humble schools, have no dignified body of professors to speak for their interests. No politi cally adept president goes about the state making -friends for them. No closely organized group of alumni keeps watch to see that they are pro vided with luxurious maintainence. The rural schools have no friends but the people and even the people are too often misled to forsake them in their day of need. Naturally a legis lator who takes up the subject of economy In educational appropriations wishes to cut as brilliant a figure as possible and make as few enemies as he can in doing it. The blow which Senator Dimick aims at the country schools takes the form of the repeal of the law for county supervisors. It makes no dif ference to him that the taxpayer gets twice as much for his money as he did before they were appointed. The welfare of the schools is1 not his aim. What is wanted is a little cheap glory for an ambitious economizer. Orei gon's educational system, if we may call it a system, has alyaws been top heavy. The principle has been gild ed until the gilt fairly peels off from sheer superabundance, while the foundation stands scarred and forgot ten. The legislature has usually been too ready to bestow the taxpay er's money vhere the results would glitter, but for the infinitely more im portant cause of rural education funds have been granted stingily and grudg ingly. The reason is plain enough. There is nobody to blow the trumpet before the man who stands up for the country-schools. He is not heralded far and wide as a "friend to the high er education''. He is not lauded as a pillar of the classics and a buttress of football. He deserves merely the modest praise of being a friend of the public welfare, and who cares for that? --' ' We wish t j emphasize the self-evident fact that education In Oregon has always been topheavy. The Wil lamette Valley is crowded with col leges. Most of them subsist upon pri vate means, but some are mendicants at the public crib, and, like all mendi cants, the more they get the more they want. But " heaven knows the country child gets little enough even with the supervisors whom Senator Dimick so begrudges him. The wel fare of the state is wrapped up in the country schoolgirl. If they grow up in ignorance and neglect the com munity must suffer immeasurable harm. t It does not matter so much about our lawyers and physicians, our ministers and politicians. If the home supply should ever fail we can import them in superabundance . and very cheaply. But a bold yeomanry, their country's pride, When once destroyed can never be Supplied. We beg pardon -for quoting Gold smith. We ought to quote Horace tat an article of this sort, but we appre hend that Goldsmith will be better understood in the rural districts where Latin is not a common branch of study, it may be well enough for the state to lavish the taxpayer's mon ey to educate physicians and lawyers. That is a point which admits of de bate. There is something to say on both sides of It. But upon the question-whether the state should give the best education within its means to the boys and girls in the rural schools no debate is possible between sane persons. . The duty of the state in this matter is as plain as noonday.- - It Is based upon the law of self-preservation. In a community like Oregon, where every citizen is a legislator, It would be consummate folly to neglect the education of the rural voter. It would be folly almost as dire to neglect such higher schools as connect directly with the welfare of the rural popula tion. But what shall we say of the wisdom displayed by a man who be gins his educational reforms by slash ing at the very roots of the country schools? WILLAMETTE DANCE IS SOCIAL TEAM The first dance of the Willamette Club, for the 1913 season, held Thurs day evening was a big success. Be cause of the bad weather and the death of Mrs. William Sheahan the number present was not as large as it would have been under other con ditions. Many beautiful gowns were worn by the women, which made the scene one of rare beauty. The punch had for its one and only virtue its purity, for it consisted solely of Bull Run water The music was rendered by Fox's orchestra of Portlaind. It is probable that the next dance of the club will be given within a month and just before Lent. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. John Clark, Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Meldrum, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Gray, Mr. and Mrs. George Swafford, Mr. and Mrs. Linn wood Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Forbes Pratt, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Brodie, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Warner, Mr. and Mrs. M. D.
