THE PRESIDENT PITCHES HAY

going out making or rak

never doubted that he was able to do
this nor T. T. Geer either.
But before w believe these emi
nent ; statesmen have harvested,
mowed, raked, pitched and m6ved
the hay crop of ths country, or any
considerable or appreciable part of it,
we will register from Jefferson City,
Missouri, and request to be shown.
According to the Atsocistcd Press
secount, the president rushed out to
get in some hay in whst lot of block
of Oyster Bsy is not disclosed be
esuss a thunder storm came up. This
pert of ths yarn,' as to ths thunder
shower, we believe. And the rest of
it we don't take it on ourself to deny.
A president who can tsckls ths
Standard Oil trust is liable to pitch
hay, or to eat a haystack for break-
ir was"" ttT the morning when "ths
thunder-shower came over Oyster
Bay. The hay had not been taken
into the barn . the day before because
everybody hsd been out to a picnic,
Secretary Shaw had lust telephoned
tnat he wanted to borrow a- tktto-oil
the surplus. ..The thunder- rolled, or
St least reverberated, snd the only
oyster left in Oyster Bay hunted 'the
deepest hole along the beach; the
president rushed forth. He hsd only
one gallus, and that. was only half
hitched. He seized his Big Stick,
but , ths suffering neighbor who
owned4he meedow where -th hay
grew told him that a" club, was no

much aa 15 cents to help save the
hay, but they were all tired. The
only really industrious, rustling man
in Oyster Bay was Teddy.. And he
is no quitter. - The account says that
"when the hay wagon wss filled the
president, very much to the astonish
ment and pleasure of the farmers, fol
lowed the men to the barn, and, going
up into the hay mow, received the
hay and stowed it away, trampling It
down vigorously. .The , perspiration
rolled down his face whn he had fin

pleased with his experience and re

him when another field of hay is to

SUNDAY THEN AND NOW.
S
UNDAY is a very different day
from. what it used to b We
need not go back to Colonial
times to find a Sunday such as no
body endures or scarcely dreams of
now. Not more than 50 years ago
Sundty among many CnrUtiana was
ODservea very aiiicrenwy irom wnat
It is by most of them now. ' It wss
a day of rest from all ordinary labors,
ss now, but it wss also, with many,
a day in ths naturs of a penance.
Two midday. sermons and an inter
vening Sunday Ichool occupied about
three mortal hours of time, summsr
snd winter, at least in some Protest
ant' churches. There wss the lesst
possible cooking, no visiting, no
traveling, no work except of mercy or
real necessity, no games, no mirth
By the stricter religious people it
was really held and used as Gods
holy dsy. Many a conscientious par
snt would rather have buried a loved
child thsn to hsve seen it going to a
picnic snd enjoying itself. The peo
ple who thus1 observed Sunday sin
cerely believed that they were per
forming - their ', highest duty, were
keeping a divine command; like Paul
when he persecuted the Chrlstisns,
they verily thought they were doing
God's service, and all the more so if
even to the devoutest of them the day
was ' irksome. And while msny
church, members were .rnot -5)uite so
strict, and non-"profeasors , -took
considerable latitude in the use of the
day,, there were no - excursions, no
noisy gamel, nothing worst than
mild, quiet diversion.
But nowU-how -different- True,
many people go to church and listen
to soms artistic music and sn essay
of about 20 or 30 minutes' duration;
msny abide at home or only soberly
walk or ride abroad; there is yet a
good deal of real observance of Sun
day, -ailed. the Sabbath; yet for a
multitude of others it is only a day
for outings, for excursions, for I ports,
for conviviality, for nothing suggest
ing the "holiness" or sacredness or
former purport of the day. '

CROPS.
GREAT
T IS HARVEST TIME of some
kind nearly all the year round In
uregon. it is not only grsin.
snd fruit nd oiry products, and
livestock, but the peculiar and inter
esting crop of hops. .
Oregon is the greatest hpp pro
ducing state in the country, and the
finest hop-growing region in the
world. 3 The crop soon to be har-
vested it variously estimated at from
100,000 16115,000 bales. Suppose
there are 110,000 bales averaging 180
pounds each, the yield will be 19,800,-
000 pounds. If all the growers had
realised tha prices now current this
would distribute to the comparatively
few people engaged in the hop in
dustry in the neighborhood of $3,000,
000. ;
The price' of hops fluctuates more
than that of any other product Two
years ago It was up to over 30 cents
for awhile' and last year It was 'down
to 10 cents or less; while the present
prospect is thst the price may reach
20 cents, at which figure growers who
have taken good care of their yards
can make "big money."
- Hops are -omewhatfriiky,"flue-tuating
things, si to yield and price,
and are tha subject of a good deal of
speculation and an Immense, amount
of commercial misrepresentation by
interested parties; yet one year with
another! with care and industry, a
man In western Oregon can succeed
well and accumulate a modest fortune
by raising hops.
Every time - thst Mr. Roosevelt
