VACATION " 1 1. f ri r IK' -t With all the attendant clamor and excitement of a "sure-enough" politi cal campaign, the Junior Government primaries are now In progress. Ever . since the campaign opened on Monday , there has been tense excitement in me neighborhood of the Yeon building, on the ninth floor of which campaign headquarters have been opened. The early candidates, following the pol- icy of the early bird, are out getting the early votes, and showing great zeal In rounding up any stray pennies, nick els and dimes. Votes are 1 cent each. They are Bought in small and large packages, and there are no restrictions as to the number of times, nor the size of the ; vote, that supporters of the earnest young candidates may cast. Each per son may vote Just as often as he ; likes, provided he has at least one cent each time. There is no penalty for ballot-stuffing. Mayor and Other to be Chosen. This will be the third annual Junior , Government election. There are i ) Mayor five Commissioners, District At. torney and Auditor to be elected. The , money made by the sale ot votes win be applied upon the annual installment loan which will fall due in July on the : mortgage with which the Newsboys' Home, First and Hall streets, is bur dened. The primary election is being con ducted under the management of George L. Baker. Dorr E. Keasey and Alexander Rae, trustees of the institu tion. These three men have been news, boys themselves, and are giving their aervices in the effort to steer the debt ewamped boys' clubhouse out of its financial difficulty. Nominations will be open until Wed nesday, by which time all candidates expecting to run for office must have . been officially entered. Votes may be least either at headquarters or in any one of the 40 ballot. boxes. The elec tion will close on Saturday night, July : 11. Newsboys' Home la "City HalL" ' The Newsboys' Home has been the ; "City Hall" for the Junior Government 'administrations ever since both were . organized, three years ago, and the itwo have been identified together in : what is generally recognized as a re markably effective improvement of conditions among the 400 newsboys of Portland. Judge W. N. Gatens and his staff of juvenile court workers give . their unqualified indorsement to the Junior Government system and the in fluence of the First street clubhouse, which they declare are accomplishing more for the future good citizenship of the city, county and state than all the reformers and reform institutions oi the city, county and state. The Junior administration has week, ly meetings. The boys discuss impor tant questions that are under consid eration by Mayor Albee and the real commissioners. The boy Mayor and juvenile Com missioners sit as a tribunal in many a knotty newsboy case, and have ac quired a reputation for dealing out speedy justice. Fifty Boys Are on Police Force. A force of 60 boy police, under chief appointed by the Mayor, looks after the enforcement of law and order among the boy population of the city. The newsboy police officers in the downtown district, are particularly ac tive, and are always on the alert to discover and deal severely with urchins guilty of petty thievery, short-chang Jng. crap-shooting and other tabooed Indulgences. Before the establishment of the Newsboys' clubhouse and the Junior Government system, these small vices were prevalent everywhere, and be cause the "newsies" were always on the street there were many accidents, the deaths and serious injuries averaging one a month. Accidents Few) Laws Are Obeyed. ince the opening of the clubhouse, with its gymnasium, swimming pool and big social hall, where there are a pianola and a victrola. the youngsters are seldom seen on the streets except during the hours when they are selling ' papers, and the accidents and petty law-breaking have been' reduced to the minimum. The Junior . Government system is not. . contrary to the general impres sion, confined to newsboys. Several of the offices are at present filled by schoolboys, who do not sell news papers. Among the candidates in the present campaign are nominees from several different schools. Many of the boys are working hard to help support little sisters and broth ers, and have little pleasure or oppor tunity for character development in their own poverty-stricken homes. The Newsboys Home and clubhouse is their one great joy, and the most wholesome Influence in their young lives. The boys hold "open house" every Saturday night at the Home.

Oregon people living in California have organized a society to assist in every way In making the Oregon ex hibits in the Fair a success. Eugene Shelby, secretary of the new organ ization, outlines its aims as follows: "The primary object of this society is to co-operate in an auxiliary capac ity with the Panama-Pacific Interna tional Exposition in the reception and enteratinment of the many Oregonlans who will visit San Francisco during the year 1915 and the pre-Exposition period, and to develop interest In the Exposition through correspondence with relatives and friends in the state where crops were never known to fail and destined by nature to become one of the greatest in the Union. Social Features to Be Fostered. "Incidentally, literary and social fea tures will be fostered, and it Is ex pected that ere long it will be a privi lege, as well as a mark of loyalty to our old home state, to be enrolled among the membership of the Oregon Society." D. O. Lively was elected president of the association and Mrs. J. W. Howard vice-president. A meeting has been called for Tuesday, June 23, at 8 P. M. In the directors' room, fourth floor of the Exposition building, and all Ore gonlans sojourning in California are cordially invited. INDIANAPOLIS RATE CHOSEN Woodmen Insurgents Lose Fight at Toledo Triennial Session. TOLEDO, O., June 20. The Indian apolis insurance rate was substituted for the Chicago rate in the by-laws of the Modern Woodmen of America by the triennial convention of the order in session here today. The Chicago rate, which is higher than the Indian apolis, was the cause of much insur gency. The insurgents of the convention lost in their fight to have the salaries of the head officers reduced. Their pro posal to decrease the officers' pay about one-half was defeated by a vote of 300 to 120, INVADE CHILDEEN'fJ HOME AT . After about a month of investiga tion, officials' of the public market on Yamhill street announced yesterday that they have completed a check of persons of all races who are selling produce on the market, determining exactly those who are actual producers or growers and those who are not The Investigation has resulted in fraudulent farmers being ousted from the market. Ten arrests have been made -in the process. It is said now that the plan is so worked out that those in charge of the market have complete records of the farmers and know by sight persons en titled to the privileges of the market. Investigations have been made by C. W. Wyman and have been particularly searching in the cases of Japanese dealers, against whom there has been more or less complaint. Mr. Wyman says he has required each Japanese on the market to produce his lease, and after this he has required signatures. affidavits and other information to ae termlne their correctness. Farms Are Visited. Th farms have been visited and a description taken of the stuff being arown. This has been usea in cnecn- ine un the kinds of stuff brought in by these farmers. Similar' procedure has been followed in cases of the white farmers and Chinamen. Out of !50 farmers on the market yesterday, 30, it was reported, were Japanese. There are 33 Japanese who are registered so far and are entitled to sell on the market. . The market hoard has prepared a set of new rules and regulations which will tend to prevent fraud and will guaran tee the quality of produce offered for sale. Each producer will be required to arive a card with his name and ad dress with each purchase so tnat ne can be found if the stuff sold is in ferior in any way. Eggs Most Be Stamped. Each tKK sold on the market must bear a stamp showing the name of the producer and the date the egg was iaia. Arrangements nave Deen maae aiso for the sending of surplus produce to charitable homes. Each of the homes will have a donation box on the market n which all produce not wanted by the farmers can be placed. These boxes will be sent to the homes. It Is said this wttt mean a great saving to many of the Institutions. The market offi cials also are encouraging producers to engage inmates of the homes as salesmen in the market. Each pro ducer is entitled, under the city ordi nance, to one salesman. Yesterday was the biggest day the market has had. It was reported. Actual heck kept by market officials showed that there were about 30 tons of produce brought In. About one ton re mained at noon. It was estimated that there were more than 6000 purchasers. The count shows there were about 1000 crates of berries, 1000 dozen eggs, and a ton of dressed chickens were sold. Prices Lower Than Stores. The prices were said to average con siderably below store figures. Although there were some dealers who asked store prices, it was said that their produce was of exceptional quality. Although 43 new booths were In stalled, making a total of 120 booths altogether, there waa hardly room for all the producers. In some cases the producers had to double up. During the day as many as six farmers occu pied the same stall, one selling out and giviug way to another. A feature of the market was the shopping from automobiles. Dozens of autos passed along the street between the booths and purchases were made without the occupants having to leave the machines. Market Master Gill has issued a request that all cases of dis courtesy or unfairness or dishonesty on the part of farmers be reported to him, and steps will be taken to bring them to a stop. 1 CLOSING OF GYMNASTIC DEPARTMENT. i V r."Ua, j r s v y , The Willamette IT 17 A 17 TTJ A T7 fv Tf A tHAUIAUQUA Gladstone Park, July 7th-19th Inclusive 13 Big Days ' 26 Big Programs 50 Summer School Lectures All for $12.50 in the Most Picturesque Spot in Oregon Ten Miles South of Portland WRITE TODAY H.
