A IOC 3 Monmouth Mp.ditat.inm A 5 &W" ( IQI The fair time hut passed and the Thanksgiving turkey has al ready begun to roost high. Dahlias and gladioluses ere admired more for their beauty than for the way they are spelled. The automobiles found it bard to give up the right of way on Main street but most of them are dodging it just at present. . The pumpkin pie appears at this point as one of the compen sations for the passing of summer. Whon the street paving is hafely laid it will be hard to find anyone who will admit that he ever opposed the idea. Come now, let's put our heads together and see if we can't find another crossing of the railroad track north of Main street. The political aspirant is be coming more in evidence which reminds us that there is really an election drawing near. The season for putting up fruit is about over but the sea son of putting up for sugar promises is to remain with us for a while vet. A. N. Halleck says if the Chi nook should express his indiffer ence he would not say "I should worry" nor yet "Ishka bibble" but "Wak-ik ti-kopa-nika." The almanack has a certain arbitrary date for the beginning and end of the seasons but it is Nature who draws the summer to an end and she usually does it with the first frost. peared ou the surface the special election of Tuesday appeared to create a very considerable in terest. When you touch a man s (or a woman's) pocketbook you get his interest. Thos. Boulden says the men who are doing our Main street plowing may have had agricul tural experience but they surely neglect the admonition ham mered into the head .of every boy plowman to be sure to "cut and cover." provementand encouragement, throngs would resort to it for rest and recreation. IU1 soon Miss Puller says there is a woman superintendent of schools in Malheur county and if a woman can get around there over the immense spaces and through the snow of that ele vated region she thinks she can get around little old Polk with out any trouble. Employers who seek help say they find it a scarce commodity in this section. Our surplus has moved away during the past few trying years and now when busi ness promises to open up in full blast on the old stand there will have to be some wholesale im portations of labor or there will be a shortage. The average political rally is not for tho purpose of making converts, but to enthuse people who are already converted. Party afliliations are like church ties and not subject to easy changes. The man who can not tolerate other views in religion and pol itics than he himself holds should seek to broaden his mind. Reading the program of the teacher's institute at Dallas next week brings up the conclusion that proximity to the Normal leads to more attractive institute programs. The welfare of the Normal is of close interest to all friends of education in the county and they should do all they can to further its development. The editor who fills his col umns with the political dope furnished free by the partisan organizations is handed one means of neutralizing the in creased cost of print paper. The editor of the Myrtle Point En terprise has struck a happy scheme and prints Republican columns and Democratic col umns alongside one another and lets his readers tuke their choice. bp- critical me for Are you interested in indus trial development of the youth? If so it would be a good idea to attend the meeting of the Parent-Teacher's association next Friday evening. Miss Hoham believes in start ing in time and is teaching fourth and fifth graders to play the violin. We may expect to hear something from that direc tion one of these days. ' The pessimists who said Main street would never be paved, that the project would end in talk as it always had ended, will now have to seek some other foundation for cheerful prophe cies. Although very little of it ap- The remarks of Dr. Hizz of medicine show fame, were not all frivolous. He said Monmouth had a better reputation abroad than it has at home, which in fers that many of its citizens do not think as well of Monmouth as many of its neighbors. A man who lacks faith in himself is not apt to get very far. Bet ter find a quiet, secluded spot, bury your hammer with due ritual, and then forget about it Joking aside, we. believe the rear lots of the Riggs place could be turned into an elegant park. The trees could be trimmed up with excellent landscape effect and with graveled walks winding out and in among the walnuts, with perhaps a lagoon and a few (lower beds, could be made most a'sthetic and charming. It would be exceptionally convenient also. The public takes kindly to it anyway and with a little ira- The baseball season will be over and the chainpion?b series will be the center of inter est. The temptation placed fore ball players, in criti places, at this stage of ttie ga isirreat. It is not money the thing is arranged so that a money influence is minimized. But jealousies and prejudices are to be contended with. This could well be an important factor in such a contest as is now staged in the National league. The two positive contenders.Philadelphia and Brooklyn, are alternately in first place. Lesser teams, hav ing no hopes themselves, are bound to have prejudices for one team or the other. Players in critical places may not inten tionally throw games but their interest will affect their playing in some degree or another. A certain editor one time seized on a shovel, procured a barrow, and went upon the street to relieve the contractors of a portion of a certain arduous task they had contracted to perform As he smote the shovel in among the pebbles the ribald throng that passed by waxed merry at the sight "Ho," shout ed one, "Dost work out thy fine or bast been sentenced to the rock pile?" "Stay," said an other, "Dost seek gold or dia monds in that filth?" "Go easy," cautioned a third, "My uncle's wife's third cousin on her step mother's side perished by just such violent exercise as that" Verily, if he had retained a note book and had jotted down the gems of wit which the occur rence brought out he had ob tained sullicii'iicy to fill such columns as these many times overllowing. Verily, the world is filled with jesters. This is the season of the year when prominent political con verts occupy a more or less im portant position in the public print. Thos. A. Edisou, who has not been Democratic since the days of Cleveland, announces himself for Wilson and Henry Ford, the man who took several kinks out of the profits of the automobile business for his com petitors and who financed the famous peace voyage to Norway, is also experiencing a change o( heart Notwithstanding Mr. Ford was a Republican candi date for president and carried Michigan in the primaries he takes pains now to express his preference for Wilsou. On the other hand Colonel George Har vey, editor of the North Ameri can Review, in a merciless aud scathing analysis of Wilson's character and achievements d. clares this week for Hughes. Harvey is the man who put Wil son ou the, political map, who picked him out from the nresi- deucy of Princeton as the one man who could eliminate Bryan, secured his nomination as gov ernor of New Jersey and nursed his presidential boom uuiil it reached theproperdevelopme.it. Mr. Harvey U especially dis pleased with Wilson's foreign policy and with the Adarason law, which he declares the great est humiliation the nation has suffered since Suinpter was fired on. 23 Willamette Valley Silo Manufactured by the Willamette Valley Lumber Co. ijJll Ask us to quote you on The Gold Mine of the Farm Phone Main 202.
