Hop Harvest
Under Way
MT. ANGEL. Aug 14 Hop
picking started Monday in the
A. J. Humpert yard south of town
and the picking of early hops is
expected to be well started by
all crews by the end of the week,
several setting August 16 as the
opening day.
The A. J. Humpert crew will
also pick at Henry Humpert',
the college yards and Joseph Zei.
The Henry Annen and White
yards will start picking Monday.
August 19.
Some of the crews expect steady
work for several weeks, harvest
ing the fuggles in the various
yards and then going on to late
hops without a break. Others will
pick the eartys and then wait a
week or two until the late hops
are ready.
Generally, the quality of the
hops in this section is better than
last year but the yield la expected
to be about the same. The picking
price of cents per pound is
generally accepted.
Lardon Road
Signs Phical
In Ceremony
MIDDLE GROVE. Aug. 14
About IS of the property owners
along county road 7S3, near here,
fathered Tuesday to place a sign
on the road naming it Lardon
road, the name by which is ha
long been known.
The neighbors readied the algn
for erecting and Paul A. Lardon,
son of the late Louis P. Lardon,
the man who was Instrumental in
establishing the road, was broqght
to the site as a surprise and put
to work as a post hole digger.
The main sign has "shingles"
hung from it giving names of resi
dents along the road and the dis
tances to their homes.
The road, which Starts at the
Silverton road. Is the second one
north of the Middle Grove school.
It is part of the Chapman dona
tion land claim, which the senior
Lardon bought in 1903.
Stock Market
Workers Take
Vote on Strike
NEW YORK. Aug. 14-(4)-The
stock market's celebration of the
first anniversary of victory day
was somewhat unenthusiastic and.
while assorted rails, utilities and
industrialists gave a good rising
performance, many leaders stum
bled. An early walkout of Union
Stock Exchange employes to take
a strike vote proved only a tem
porary interruption and these re
turned after being out an hour
or so. Low-quoted Issues domi
nated the proceedings in the ini
tial period, coming out In large
blocks. Gains, running to 2 or
more points for favorites, were
reduced or cancelled by midday
and. at the close, losers had a
shade the bet of the argument.
Carrier stocks and bonds seem
ed to benefit from the pocket
veto of the Wheeler-Reed re
organization bill.

Rains Weaken
Grain Prices
CHICAGO. Aug. 14 -AA) -Rains
over a wide area of the corn belt
caused weakness in futures of
that grain on the board of trade
today. Nearby oat deliveries
were In sympathy with corn, but
the most distant contracts dis
played a firm undertone.
Showers were received In Illi
nois, Indiana. Missouri, Kansas
and North Dakota. Trade reports
said that In some areas these
rains, added to those recently re
ceived, were sufficient to carry
the crop through to maturity.
Corn finished down a cent,

lower to s higher, August
75. There was no trade In barley.
