"The boys and girls of Oregon have started a state-wide -eontest-ta-deter-'. mine who Is best In doing the things that count," said Professor Hetsel, In outlining the plan for industrial , 4u .cation throughout the state. . :., This is going to be a harder fought contest and one that will attract mora attention than any that has ever been carried on by the young people of this state. This great contest will enlist the - best efforts of thousands of the bright, est and strongest boys and girls in this commonwealth. It is a contest that is fat more Important and will be far more interesting than any series of athletic contests ever held, because it is a fight to determine who can do the best work in the things that the world is demand ing. The greatest problem of today before the American people is to lm ' prove the homes and make the shops and the farms more productive. Boy and girls who excel in doing these . things are the ones who will be consld , ered the successful boys and girls of today, and who will be the successful . men and women of tomorrow. "The people of the state are so much Interested lq these contests that they are offering splendid prises to the boys and girls who can prove that-they are the leaders in this great field. You will be surprised to find how much in terest the people Of the state -will take in you If you prove that you are among the best of thos who are working for better homes, . better farms, and mora and better products for Oregon., v , , cooperation Asked. . "We will be watching your efforts, and will expect to see you exhibit at your . county fair, end also at the stata fair. ' We want -you to help us make these contests the greatest things that have ever been dona In the state. We want you to help us prove that you have brains, strength and courage. Will you do It? , ' - "Boys and girls living In the city should be as keenly interested In this work as are the country boys and girls. They wlll be. abla to enter as large a proportion of these contests as will the others. Thousands of back yards and vacant lots now useless and- ijnslghtly can be converted Into neat,: well-kept poultry yards, or beautiful and -prof it able gardens. . Woodwork, cooking and sewing can be done to as good advant age In the city homes as on the farm. We would like to see you prove that you are as able to do things that count as are the boys and girls of the rural districts. '. "(Special to 'rte Journal. I Fossil, Or., March 11. In a petition to be circulated in every county In Ore gon and thereafter" to be forwarded to President Taft. pardon is asked for Hamilton H. Hendricks, who In 1905 was Indicted and convicted of suborna tion of perjury, charged to have been committed by asking W ill Hawk to tes tify falsely regarding Hawk's home stead proof. This Is an echo of the Wheeler county land fraud cases, which for weeks occuj$d the federal court floor In Portland during the Lewis and Clark fair days and In 1906. The basis for the petition Is a con fession by Hawk, a sworn copy of which Is attached to each petition, that Hen dricks Instead of asking-him to swear falsely regarding his homestead proof In reality asked him to tell the truth. Hawk explains his alleged perjury be fore the grand jury by saying he was threatened with all kinds of penalties if he -did -not-come --through-wUh-testl- mony concerning Mr. Hendricks. The affidavit was sworn before W. H. Scott, notary public at Crawfordsville, Or. The petition recites that legal voters Of Fossil and vicinity have been unani mous In signing the petition. Hendricks was indicted in February, 1905, convicted in August, 1906, sen tenced 1n" Aprllrl909r Sentencewas de ferred that he might testify in another case. The petition recites his good rep utation and says action looking to se cure the pardon was taken before Hawk signed the affidavit. TRADE LESS. WORK MORE.

Senator Bourne has had his attention called to the fact that officials of the American Federation of Labor are much stirred up over the fact that, as they are con vinced, the senate Is in danger of pass ing the general immigration bill which Is pending there, and passing it in such form as to let down the bars to the ad mission of Chinese laborers into the United States. It Is declared by officials of the fed eration that if the bill goes through as it stands now and as reported from the committee, millions of Chinese laborers will have the right of entry Into the United States. In order to head off any thing of - this sort the federation has had a brief prepared which seeks to pre vent that situation. The effect of the proposed law would be the miscellaneous admission of Chinese to America. At the same time, organised labor is taking the- matter up In many local ities , arid especially on the Pacific coast The language of the bill prob ably will be "modified.
