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

) Mayor five Commissioners, District At.
torney and Auditor to be elected. The

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.

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.

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
