And happiness measures the depth of vouth As sunshine heralds a cloud- less day. Faith Is broken upon the spade That layz the cornerstone of doubt. And marks the spot where love first laid Its glorious plan of beauty out. And ue.ith Is welcomed if men have seen A 1'fe of effort upon the wheel ' That bore them backward aSaliit the stream And crurhd the shrine on which they kneeled. Yet life is sacredly sweet and true If effort's intentions are un- derstocd. And tr;bute's paid where trib- ute's due And good exchanged for good. Arthur G. Lewis. KNOCKING THE FAIR. In gathering fruit, grain and other exhibits for the county fair, the agents of the fair commission who are trav eling over the county for this purpose, find dozens of well-meaning, thrifty, intelligent farmers who actually "knock" against the fair, not really in words, but in more emfatic ways, by their actions. Cue remarkable fact in connection is thai scarcely a -olit.iiy exhibit of fruit yet sent in for the fair has been donated by the grower for that pur pose. Every exhibit must be paid for, not only In cash, but in fancy prices. It Is almost necessary to beg the producers to furnish fruit for exhibit purposes, even at high prices. The people have not responded to the fair ns they should. They are to be bene ficiaries of this fa-ir. They will draw the premiums and secure the benefits of the advertizing. It seems that the fruit exhibits might be donated where the producer expects to secure a premium worth more than the ftuit. The commission must collect .the fruit, ship it into Pendleton and place It on exhibit. The bizness men of Pendleton are carrying a big burden In establishing this fan. A:, 1 they are receiving no pay for thc:r service. They are doing the work In order that Umatilla and Jlorrow counties may have something In the shape of a fair, which other towns and rich counties like theze enjoy. The people who furnish the exhibits, take the premiums and reap the har vest of advertizing will be the only people to profit directly by the fair. The slight flurry of trade while the f ilr lasts ir as nothing compared to the lasting benefits to be received b the country people and the entire county by the fair. It is hoped that the people of the two counties awaken and take suf ficient Interest in the event to gather and Bend In their products. The business men, the county court and the fair commission are doing the work and furnishing the means. It looks ns tho the people might at least supply the exhibits and draw the pre miums.

The same people who are seiirchini; in musty' political doctrines for an ex cuse for opposing public ownership are heartily Indorsing .the policy which pays the rail'.'oiuls enough on each mail car every year to bild the car. The mall carrying frraft Iz one of the greatest. Every mail car earns over JfiOOO every year thru the profligate expenditures of the government. If the government owned the railroads this graft would be cut down to ac tual expenses. HENRY CLEWS' CONFESSION. Henry Clews, the hired "financial" agent whom the trusts maintain In Wall street to watch their interests and peddle out doctored "news" from the street, gives the brilliant mone tary system of the United States a hard blow in his last weekly letter. Sneaking of the threatened panic which was fully expected among the eastern banks a few days ago. as the result of enormous bank failures, rob beries by insurance companies and the cornering of money by the sharks of Wall street, he sez: 1 The government's action in deposit Ing funds with interior hanks tende. to relieve me strain In the money market. Until this last step was taken the treazury. thanks to our clumsy currency methods-, had locked up about J43.dOO.00n more than a yeai ago. all of which might have been in the banks lubric.-.ting the channels of business but for the ignorance and in action of congress. secretary sii.w has dunk HIS BEST TO COUNTERACT THL EFFECTS OF AN ILLOGICAL CUR REXCY SYSTEM.

The ordinary farmer" In Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, and the bo nanza farmers of the Dakotas, sow 40 quarts of wheat to the aore, and harvest anywhere from nothing up to 20 bushels. The average crop for the state of Kansas Is 13 bushels to the acre, and the highest average In any year in the last 15 was 15 bushels. Yet the followers of the system of dry farming outlined sow but 12 quarts to the acre, and harvest anywhere from 35 to 58 bushels to the acre. Last year the third largest crop of wheat ever grown In Kansas was cut. It averaged 12 3-4 bushels to the acre, aggregating 75,576,867 bushels, on 5,854,047 acres. If the smallest average crop report ed by followers of scientific and ra tional dry farming methods had been obtained thruout the state, the crop last year would have amounted to 216.599,739 bushels.

The Denver Tost says of the Ameri can telegraph monopoly: In Sheridan, Wyo tho people held a mass meeting in Order to express their Indignation over the rotten serv ice that the Western Union Telegraph company is giving that town. In this connection is might lie well to state that In Hillings, Mont., If t telegram Is received there early In the morning, the early receipt does not assure that the person to whom 't may be addressed will receive It on that particular day; and If. for In stance, you are living at Livingston. Mont., which is an important point on the Northern racific railway, and you should happen to send ft telegram, say nt S o'clock In the evening, and then were going to Hillings, and It were addressed to the biggest and best hotel nt Hillings, it Is more than an even break you would have to go to the telegraph office and ask for that telegram mid then be informed that no such message had been received. And then, when you spend your money to wire to Livingston to ask why the telegram was not sent, in the course of several hours you may be Informed that the telegram has ar rived. These facts point to the probability that, some day, all along the line, of the Northern Pacific, the telegraph poles of the Western Union Telegraph company will be torn up and strewn In the roadway and their place will be taken by the Postal Telegraph company's poles, as in the case of the entire Pennsylvania system. Here In Denver we have the Postal Telegraph company and for that rea son we can call ourselves blessed. THE ELEYEX LOST DAY'S. The eleven days from Sept. 3 to 13 inclusive, are memorable for hav ing once been entirely omitted from the calendar of the Anglo-Saxon world. The Gregorian calendar was not adopted by the Hritisn Empire until lT.'il. long after most other na tions of the civilized world had con formed with it. In that year an act of parliament prescribed that the next year. 1752. should begin on January 1 Instead of on March 2.", as had previously been the rule, and that In the following September these 11 days should be dropped from the calendar, the day following September 2 being known as September 14. Stirring times those were, too. in which days were not lightly to be spared from a year, with Cllve con quering India and Washington be ginning the conquest or the Ohio val ley. Hut the precession of the equi noxes took no note of trifles like these, which could be accomplished as well under one calenderial style as another. It may be observed that, while Greg ory dropped only 10 days from 15S2. 11 days had to go from 1752. and Russia would have to drop 13 from l'.iiii) to square their dates with the rest of the world. New York Sun. :r0.llitj PORTLAND Y". M. C. A. A large dial. 15 feet in diameter, fastened to the east wall of the Mar- quam building gave forth the lutein gence to people passing that way this morning that $'i0,0oo had been raised toward the $350,000 fund which the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are trying to raise jointly by October 6, for a new building In which the two associations will make their future home, sez the Oregon Daily Journal. The $50,000 was a gift from the Wll Ham H. I-idd estate and was rendered to the directors of the Y. M. C. A. at a banquet held In the Portland hotel last night. Later in the day the big hand was moved to show that $6noO more had been raised. Other gifts have been coming in today anil little doubt is exprest that the necessary nmnunt will be raised in the specified time of three weeks. 170 I.l MIIKIIM HX MET. At the monthly business meeting of the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturers' association in Eugene Saturday night reports showed the as sociation to have 170 members, rep resenting an annual output of 1,750, 000 feet of lumber, sez the Eugene Guard. The association has been or. gauized but a year and a half, and is the third In size in the Cnlted States. The meeting discussed the present lumber situation, which Is very good, and took up the car shortage. All the members reported trouble In se curing cars, but the association took no action In the matter. "l)HY" FARMING PAYJ5. A report comes from Loveland, Colorado, that 30 acres under dry farming methods produced 1930 bush els of grain worth 11395.90, and that the showing made was responsible for the sale of a tract of land at J25 an acre, which cost but $4 a short time ago, says the Cheyenne Tribune. In the opinion of the Tribune there Is no other Idea, theory, resource or enterprise that means so much to Cheyenne as dry farming. Pushed and developed as It should be by real farmers or men actually Interested In the growth and settlement of the coun try five years will see many waving wheat fields on the plnteau about Cheyenne. Scuttle: Has 118 Policemen. Seattle today has 118 police of fl cers. The city charter allows It one to every 1000 of the population, says the Seattle News. This figure was arrived at on tho basis of the allow ances made In most of the eastern cities. Seattle Is hilly and to be prop erly covered It should have more po licemen than any eastern city which has not got Its hills. Again, Senttle Is a seaport and almost every country on earth Is represented In Us cosmo polltan crowds. It Is the main city for a large country up north and It Is the point toward which criminals of all the northwest naturally turn. These are some of the reasons why Seattle should have more than one policeman to every 1000 of the population It such a ratio Is found necessary In the east.
