A more strict jurisdiction over the management of Moose clubhouses; no club should operate a buffet in a dry state; club buffets in "wet states should be under the jurisdiction of the lodge entirely, and that the no treating" law, which is a part of the constitution of the order, should be strictly enforced. These are the chief points recommended in the an nual report of Supreme Dictator Wal ter E. Dorn ot the Loyal Order ot Moose, submitted to the twenty-sixth international convention. Director General James J. Davis in his report denounced those members of the order who belonged to the In dustrial Workers of the World in the east. He recommended the rejection from the order of all members who followed the creed of "no flag, no God, no government." Such a creed is in direct opposition to the creed of the Moose order, he said, and no member can remain a member, honest ly, it he supports any such sentiment. Mr. Davis' report showed that the order had gained 115,000 new members in the last year, and that there are v over (ifjO.OOO members in the Moose lodge. The supreme lodge of the order adopted the resolution of the supreme council tbnt the woman's cir- le ot the Moose order he refused the privilege of using the name of Moose. SCHOOLS ARE NOW BUSY. Exhibits for Industrial Fair in Sep tember Planned. School Notes. The Polk county schools now are busy with industrial fair work. With the organization of many clubs early in the year the pupils began raising corn, potatoes, leeding pigs, raising chickens, sewing, cooking, canning, and making many birdhouses. Club meetings are held once or twice month. The children's industrial fair at Dallas in September is expected to be the most successful Polk county has ever held. The study of dairying and practical milk and cream testing has been in augurated in several Polk county schools by W. A. Barr, of the Oregon Agricultural College, and H. C. Sey mour, county superintendent or schools. The work is said to have led to the discarding of many poor- paying cows and has served to show the county's great dairy wealth. I'olk county is said to have more Parent-Teacher associations than any county in the state, except Multno mah. The county's attendance percentage tor the term 1H1J-14 established a record when the average rose to 96.3. The lowest mark made bv any school was 90.19, the highest 99.9. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CROPS. The Clover Yield Will Be at Least One-Third Short. H. O. White, member of the frin of D. A. White & Sons, has just return ed from an automobile trip through Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Linn and Lane counties, for the purpose of learning at first hand the condition of the crops, says the Salem Journal. Mr. White is especially interested in the clover seed yield, as he has given much attention to that line of farming and is considered an authority on that subject. He said this morning that, after looking over the prospects for the clover seed crop in the counties mentioned, he thought the vield would be about one-third less than the av erage. Owing to the large acreage now devoted to it and the good prices which the farmers have been getting. the shortage will mean a loss of many thousands of dollars to the central Willamette valley. "The oat crop is about equal to the average, while the wheat, on ac count of heavy yield in some sections, will he a little lanrer than usual," said Mr, White. "The hay crop has been exceptionally good and is much in excess of the production for a number of years past." Yokohama does a large business in raising and exporting goldfish. Most go to the United States. Australia annually exports $2,000, 000 worth of canned rabbit meat IN THE BUSINESS FIELD MANY MATTERS OF MORE THAN ORDINARY INTEREST.

Roscoe Fawcett, in the Sunday Ore gonian. has the following about a Dallas boy: "When Wayne Barham played with Victoria last season he drew $150 a month. Cincinnati pur chased the pitcher in the fall and rais ed his pay to $300 a month. Accord ing to baseball law. a player advanc ing to the majors is entitled to a 25 per cent increase, so Cal Ewing. of San Francisco, figured Barham was getting $187.50 a month and he forked over $1200 in cash for the kid a while back. He must now pay his same salary, $300, and. as Howard isn't nsing the Dallas hnrler. be is proving an expensive luxury. Barham is just such a feature as is Elmer Martinoni, of the Beavers. He has a good win ning record, but does not have the con fidence of the manager." HOSKINS SOME PUMPKINS. Invasion of Railroad Opening to Set tlement Much Fertile Land. Mr. A. V. R. Snyder was at Hoskins the other day, and while there took the opportunity to make a hurried in vestigation of the conditions that will probably obtain with the completion of the Siletz railroad. That section, he says, is particularly favored for agricultural and horticultural pur suits, the valley being one of the gar den spots of the coast country, and with the advent of the railroad will come to the front in a surprising man ner. Already the hamlet of Hoskins is assuming larger proportions and more important airs, it being the cen ter of a vast productive section. This new railroad is bound to open up to settlement a splendid territory, ac cording to Mr. Snyder, not only sur rounding Hoskins but beyond toward the source of the Big Luckiamute, where there are thousands of acres of fertile lands awaiting development. THE PRICE GOES UP. Violators cf Speed Ordinance Most Now Pay Double. Officer Chase said yesterday that he had no wish to make any arrests, and that he would be willing to treat all motorists as he did one. He accom panied this one in his machine and showed just how fast he could go and keep within the speed limit. As a result of this short trip the auto mobile owner had a speedometer in stalled, and promised to abide by it hereafter. The speed fines henceforth will bo not only a penalty assess ment, but they will carry costs, these include the judge's tee of $2.50 and the officer's fee of $2.50, which makes the amount for a first offense $10 in stead of $5, as has hitherto been im posed. Hawley Sees Fine Wheat. Senator C L. Hawley, in company with two other regents of the Agri cultural college, recently visited Har ney county for the purpose of inspect ing the experiment station there, and report upon its condition. The Har- nev News, commenting on the visit, says: "While here some of the visttors were driven around in the valley and noted the large amount of land now in cultivation in comparison with a few years ago and in talking with the farmers they found that methods had been improved and crops bettered bv the influence of the experiment station, its example and instruction. Among other places observed was the wheat field on the Brown farm, north of Burns, which Mr. Hawley declared was better than any he had ever seen anywhere; also an alfalfa field in the same locality which is maturing its second crop and which caused Mr. Hawley to exclaim to the News man who was with him : 'You people may know and appreciate what you have in this great section of country, but I really doubt it.' " New Scott Changes Again. Georee Corsen is again in possession of the New Scott Hotel, Mr. Hall hav ing retired from the management on August 1. Mr. Corsen has twice eon ducted this hostelry, and has a wide acquaintance with the traveling pub lic. He is an experienced hotel man, and that the hotel will prosper under his direction there can be little doubt. Hotel Proposed for Bandon. J. C. Hammell, who recently traded hotel property at Albany for farm property in Polk county, is reported as having commissioned J. S. Atkins, an Albany architect, to draw up plans for a fireproof hotel building, to be erected at Bandon. The plan is to erect a three-story building on ground space 100 feet square. The proposed capacity is 04 bedrooms. Spend Pleasant Afternoon. The members of the Thursday af ternoon club held their annual picnic at the city park on the afternoon of July 30. The ladies spent the after noon in the delightful shade of the mammoth trees and in the evening about the dinner hour were joined by their husbands, and a regular picnic dinner was had. Dallas Defeats Falls City. The game of baseball between Dal las and Falls City, pulled off at the latter place last Sunday, was a good exhibition of the national sport, and resulted in a victory for the county seat tossers by a score of 4 to 3. A number of fans accompanied the team to the neighboring town. Contributors to Exhibit. Those who contributed to the coun tv exhibit for the week ending July 31, are: R. O. Boyer, wheat; J. C. Stults. plums; J. B. Hayes, wheat; C. D. Nairn, wheat; Jacob Van Well, wheat; J. Bowles, plums ami grass. Motorcyclists Enjoy Picnic.

While many throughout the state have received notice from New York to discontinue issuing travelers' checks until further advices, owing to the conditions abroad, the Dallas banks have received no such notifica tion and are still issuing the checks when called for. Missionary Meeting. The Christian Woman's Board of Missions and the Mary Lee Circle will hold a joint meeting at the home of Mrs. Charles C. Curtis tomorrow even ing.

Fewer Men Employed. There are employed at present in the Willamette Valley Lumber com pany's sawmill at this place, 105 men, including the office force. This a much smaller number than has hitherto been employed here. The de orease is caused by the large falling off of lumber orders in the last few months. Cartagena, Bolivia, is to have an industrial and agricultural exposition, November 11 to December 31, 1915. Montreal in 1913 shipped 54,335,314 bushels of grain. Canada in 1913 imported 254,094 and produced 8,658,922 barrels of ce ment. THE CLASSIFIED "AD." In learning to utilize Class- ified Advertising, you take a "six-league" stride toward success! There are still some people living in Dallas and Polk county who have nod learned to use The Observer's classified advertising columns. They know that there are "such things as "want ads," and probably assume that some people must find them useful. But, for some reason or other, they have not put these "ads" to the test of usefulness to themselves. These same people have "caught up" with events in many other directions. They utilize the telephone, the tele- graph, gas, electric light, the street cars. They adopt mod- era conveniences for honse- keepiner. Thev utilize time and labor-saving appliances in business. . But, having a task for a classified advertisement to do, they try to find some other way to accomplish it. If it is a rentine task, thev depend upon a placard. If it is a ' oropertv selling task, thev put up a "For Sale sign." If it is a nosition-findiner task. they rely upon personal friends to help them. If they have furnished rooms to rent, they place an advertisement in the window or over the door bell. When these people make their first successful use of want advertising, they acquire a new optimism. Irksome tasks become mere business matters. New possibilities without number open to them. They learn to utilize the " Six- Leaerue Boots" of publicity when occasion requires and every little daily problem be- comes manageable. The Ob- server is published Tuesdays and Fridays, and gives re- suits. It has been proven. BUTTER WRAPPERS MAKE THEM WORE. You have noticed the handsome labels on packages sent out by leading manufacturers of crack ers and other similar goods f Of course you have. Nifty, eht Nice appearing labels help to sell these goods. Tbe label of the National Biscuit Co. costs a bunch of money, and if we in clude the box, reaches a cost al most equaling its contents. DOES IT PAY? You may safely gamble that it does. A pretty package attracts attention and makes sales. You know it everybody knows it Well printed butter wrappers do the same thing. We make them. Butter wrappers in one or more colors, in quantities from 100 to 1,000,006, and guarantee the price. Let's talk it over. POLE COUNTY OBSERVER. The Republican Ticket. For Governor James Withycombe.
