TENTH OF HOP CROP
IS CONTRACTED FOR
According to figures given by var
ious dealers, about a tenth of the
probable hop crop during the coming
season has already been contracted
to date. : " ' ' -
Recently there has been consider
able business passing in the contract
market at 15c a pound, but the grow
ers are showing more disposition to
let go at this figure.
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.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
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. '

padded renders his step noiseless, in
spite of bis great weight." a naturalist
tells us. "and his extraordinary nim
bleness seems alumst incompatible with

ATTACK ON SCHOOL
SYSTEM DEPLORED
(Morning Oregonian.)
Senator. 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
