We suspect that labor men and rail road n:en divide on political lines very much as other groups of peo ple do and their suffrage is not to be handed bodily to any one. November 22 to 24 are the dt.tes of the corn show to be held in In dependence. Corn growing is a new institution in the Willamette valley, comparatively speaking. Tiie time was when it was asserted there wsre lots of things the cli mate of the valley did not argee with and which consequently could not Le produced here at a profit Each year the list grows smaller and the corn show is an institu tion that will evidence our prog ress in growing the crop that is the mainstay of the states along the Mississippi. Prizes ' aggregat' ing ?200 in cash and $250 in mer chandise are offered as rewards to exhibitors. People interested in the development of this part of Polk county should plan to take in this show and if possible have ex hibits there. Vhi!e it may be true that the country was set for a change nf administration- and anything Cox might have done would have had little to do with averting the ava lanche, we may speculate on what would have happened had he lived up to his reputation and appealed to the wets the same as Governor Edwards of New Jersey appealed to them last year. He appears to have lost his old friends and gained few new ones. To paraphrase the Vic ar of Wakefield, "they who are wet and will associate with none but the dry, are hated by those they avoid and dispised by those they follow". The nation honors sincer ity and somehow the spectacle of Cox in the guise of a moral reform er did not appeal to it. The late A. N.' Halleck was of the type known as everybody's friend. He had a cheery greeting for everyone and if he had any per sonal enemies the fact never ap peared in his private conversation "Present" he would exclaim, as he entered the Herald office, and then add, "Oh, I thought someone start ed to call the roil". He delighted in homely rhymes and expressed the opinion that he was a poet and didn't know it. The Chinook jar gon was also a favorite accomplish ment of his and if he could get hold of another pioneer who vas similarly accomplished fiey would hold joyful converse in which the ess talented auditar would catch such expressions as "cultus". "skookum", "tillicum", "wake ik te copi nika". His mind was stor ed with the lore and traditions of the early pioneers and he liked to recall the unusual in weather, in crops, in the economical conditions of the country. He was one of the fast disappearing links between to day and the time of the early set tlement of Oregon. For Sa'e A Samson windmill. The Hippo's Day Off The teacher of Kngilsh 1 in High School hut chose,) one of a number of compositions for publication. There were many animal in the Zoo but there was only one hippo potamus. He was known, by nil the other animals, to hate his keep er, which was very odd because all of the other animals liked hiin. But the Hippo had a reason for his hatred. Once when he was very hungry the keeper had brought him fine dinner and wiu standing by the cage ready to feed him when some visitors walked by. Of! course, they were very much inter ested in the animals and the keeper, forgetting about the Hippo, said he would show them around. So he went off. forgetting to food Hippo. Now Mr. llippi, yo.t cm imigine, was very angry after he had seen his nice dinner, and then to have it taken away in such a r.anner. So he thought he would let the keeper know about it. He started a gieat commotion. The keeper heard tl e noise but only thought the Hippo was up to one of his tricks and paid no heed. Now Mr. Monkey, who lived in the cage next door, wanted t know the cause of this sudde i anger. The Hippo told him the story only t.- have the Monkey laugh ai if h s s w.u'd burst, i'y this ti i e all the other animals had become rurio'is and it was only a few min utes until the story had spread to every part of the Zoo. Of course the animals thought it a tine joke This made the Hippo very rngry to be laughed at so he decided to get even. One bright day Mr. Hippo culled over to Mr. Murkey and told him of his plan. Mr. Monkey thought this a huge joke and set tled down to watch the fun. About noon the keeper came to feed the Hippo. He had a nice meal for him but as he started to open the door the Hippo jumped forward and es caped into the outside world. Ti e police and attendants saw him but were unable to get him buck as the Hippo was a fast runner and played so many tricks on them. He ran around the trees, went over to visit the other animals in their cages and on the whole had a very enjoyable time. After he had played around all day, a little boy who had been watching the excitmement suggested that they get the Hippo to chase the keeper and have the keeper run into the cage thus trap ping him. This was considered a good plan. Now Mr. Hippo is known not to be a very dangerous animal, but when he gets his temper roused he i s very fierce. So the keeper knew that he must be prepared to get out of the cage in a little time. He then t wught of a plan. The cage was made with wide spaces between the bars, large enough for tha keeper to getthrough, butnot large enough for the Hippo to get through, so the keeper ran around the Zoo and, of course, the Hippo gave chase. The keeper then ran into the cage and out through the bars. The Hippo, of course, had followed, but finding he was trapped, gave up. Now Mr' Monkey told me this story and I am hoping that you will not repeat it as we all know Mr. Hippo is very sensitive on this point and we would hate to hurt his fee ings. Ey Dorothy Clark.
