"port skirt" and pongee blouse, a light sweater and the low . serviceable oxfords and gx!f hose which I meant to use for tramping, I whimsically thought that now I was preparing -for the walk for-which I had so longed I ' would like nothing so much as to go to bed again. .- Dicky sauntered in as I was putting the finishing1 touches to J Highest patcnt iminino ISBAiiD I1ULUII jMILLS W .

He had the air of ha ing; spent the preceding hour In indolent contemplation , of the landscape, bat looking- shrewdly at him I saw that he had been engaged itf something strenuous. His face was flushed, ? and his breathing was a , trifle hurried. And though he tried to make his toice "nonchalant, be could not keep a triumphant note out of It when he spoke. Dicky's Small Triumph. T "Well, old dear, your break fast is on the broiler! The re doubtable Mandy assured me Just now that, 'the young missis' breakfast would be ready in two shaken of a lamb's tail. But I am a'laid she meant a sheep of a studious and ruminative dispo sition, who would pause, to com pose a poem between shakes.

"I though there was no butcher in the town." ; "Tour thinks are eminently correct," he answered. "I got this bleak in , Aberdeen, three miles away." "How in the world ' I was stiy carefully incredulous. "Taxi, my child, taxi!" my hus band retorted. "There's a rhap down here that's got the world beaten-for getting to a place and back again.

You'd think his ear was human the way it responds to him, and the way he talks about it. He has a place near here in the winter and spring, and a home out on the east end of Long Island.

(By the Associated Press.) : The risgig tide of prosperity' has not only wiped out the unemployment problem of a few months ago but has created an actual shortage of men with an accompanying in crease in wages, according to em ployment agents, railway officials and manufacturers tonight. One evidence of this, they said, was to be found Jn the raise In pay announced for employes ot the United States Steel corpora tion. Farm Hand's Scarce Employment agents complained that there was a scarcity of both railroad labor and farm hands and said that as a result higher wages were being offered. One railroad official attempted to show that the steel companies. were being forced to pay higher wages because of the wages paid for the same class of labor by the railroads acting under author ity of the United States railroad labor board. While common labor in the steel mill3 here is receiving 30 cents an hour at present, he said. section hands constituting com mon labor on the railroads are receiving a maximum of 35 cents an hour In the Chicago district. These maintenance of way men, even with the decrease in wages authorized by the labor, board and effective last July, are still re ceiving ! cents an hour more than the common labor in the steel mills. Steel Advance Equalizes While the increase granted to day to steel workers will In a great measure equalize this, he pointed out that the maintenance of way workers have a wage case in Involving all the class roads of the country coming before the labor board August 28 at which time their leaders will ask that the wage cut of July 1 be reconr sldered and that an increase be granted, the expectation being that they win ask that tho old rate with a maximum of 40 cents for this district be restored. Railroads Not Obstinate A number of railroads, this man said, have offered no resist ance to this action and apparently do not expect to do so. Practi cally all roads, he said, waived the provision requiring 30 days notice before wage eases can be submitted to the board, indicat ing a willingness to aid the em ployes in a readjustment upward of wages to thiB extent. DOING JELL Excellent Showing Made V(th Peaches and All Oth er Kinds of Fruit When the big freeze came thre-3 years ago in December, ev erybody agreed that there would n't be a peach left In the Willam ette valley - ' except the canned or evapniated or pretty girl varie- ' Some peaches did die in that memorable storm, but so, too did thousands of sturdy oaks, and ironcird Arctic apples, and aliaost every kind of tree tha is either native or planted in Oregon. The curious fact, perhaps, is that there are more fine , peaches left than, apples, and that the peach crop this yfear warrants any fruit grower in? planting out all the peaches he thinks he can care for they look as safe as govern ment bends. Peaches Flourishing . A Statesman representative this week visited the Beaver Island peach orchard, on the Mission Bottota 12 miles. north of Falem and the Bent Jones orchards, an other half mile farther north. Maybo this is a better country for prunes and filberts, tut the peach grower certainly has a great nm for his money. At the Beaver Island farm 18 varieties of peaches are grown. They cover a ripening season of almost three months, from -July nntil October. Some of these trees are quite old; 15 years or more. Most of the trees suffered somewhat in the big freeze; some were killed outright, and others have been sniveling and losing some of their limbs each year since then, limbs that ouldn't recover from the cold. Some vig orous trimming Is the only salva tion lor many of these older or chards This Tree Wonder One Columbia tree, however, this year has produced 20 bores of packed merchantable peaches. The tree haa a spread of 35 feet, and Is as healthy as a thistle. As a rule, however, the big yields come from the later variet'es, like the late Crawford and the ARE AT FARM WEDNESDAY MORNING. Muirs, both famous canning peaches that are still not nearly fall fe-rown. ; The Early; Crawford is just now being harvested- The Ueacr Island farm ' will- haw several hundrea boxes of this standard variety. - Ptacnes suffered as mucli as did acy other fruit this year from the dry weather. It would give a tender-hearted, hungry man the willies to see the fine big peaches that urop off some ot the trees just before ripening, a the result of the drought. Bnt still there are lots of peached left. Hundreds of the. trees are fairly breaking under their loads of fruit. Others would be breaking if they had not been propped up. Most ct these peaches are being taken to the Portland, market. Walaut lu Well The Beaver Island farm ha3 practically every Oregon fruit, except apples and prunes. Wal nuts sic doing finely; some of the trees already show a growth of 4igLt feet for the season of 1922 Filberts are being set out in large numbers, and Cuthbert raspberries and evergreen black berries are also receiving special attention. A number of acres were' Irrigated tie latter part of July end the first of August be fore she rains came, including hops, peaches and small fruits. So remarkable has been the growth of all the irrigated crops, that the managers plan (to level off the whole farm' for irrigition. The terries look like about the surest money,' and always the quickest return and the easiest crop to change of any of the fruit. The Cuthberts especially promfee to be cold mines for the careful grower who can irrigate his crop. Old Trees Cut Back Some of the older peach trees that have spread abnormally or have grown too big for good pick ing cr spraying, are being cut back, and new sprouts are being allowed to grow from the central stem, making the second or even the third crop of branches from the one set of roots. The Pearcy brothers and O. K. DeWItt of Salem are the mana gers and part owners of tie Bea ver Island fruit farm, which was built up by the consolidation of their 135-acre holdings, mostly set to fruit; and another adjoin - ing farm belonging to Portland Investors. They have been furn ishing & market for much picking and packing labor this fall, though they expect to have many times as much business in the next five years as they get the place fairly developed. Salem Pageant Will Be Given About Semptember J Parts were assigned yesterday for the Imposing "Story of Sa lem" pageant that Is to close the year's work at the summer play ground on Fourteenth street. The play will be given in seven acts, each depicting one distinct period of the growth of the north west in general and Salem In par ticular. It will go back many years farther than the Willam ette pageanf given four years ago, that covered only from about 1830 onward. It will be given in costume, with a herald to car ry the story, the performers themselves not being expected to use their voices at all. . This promises to be an ex tremely interesting presentation. It will be a fine wind-up of the year's play activities. It is to be given about September 1. The contracted two months of play ground supervision ends on Sep tember 1, and after that the grounds will be closed so far as public service is concerned.
