Polk ctunty has surely tied itself
up so far as road prospects are con
corned. As a prize puzzle, how to
untangle and get back to where we
were at the time Judge Kirkpatrick
eft oflke, would give a brain storm
to any one who set about'a solution.
One day the bolshevists are un
done, bankrupt and demoralized
The rext day they lake Eetastopol
and put the enemy to rout. We
suspect we are too far away to
more than guess at the situation
i i Russia.
With green in evidence every
where and the winter rains back on
the job, the native smiles cheer
filly with the assurance that there
is no place like Oregon.
D. M. Hampton says the Live
Stock Show in Portland is the best
ever, the fattest hogs, the sleekest
Jerseys, the most meaty Here
fords, the hairiest goats and the
wooliest sheep. The Northwest
takes pride in its live stock and has
reason to do so spectators proclaim
who have seen the stock show.
It is a curious fact that it took
an enterprising person with a mov
ing picture outfit to show us our
first views of hop harvest scenes
The pictures bore a Salem, Ore..
date line and were taken only a few
milesaway from Monmouth. Doubt
less" they were manufactured in I
distant city and come back to as
with a reminder that the world is
not so 7ery large after all.
Returning home in the dusk of
an evening recently, we nearly
stumbled over a prostrate form
blocking the way to the home door
way. Investigation showed it to
be a huge squash one of the kind
the half of which would nearly fill
a bushel measure, it must, hav,
weighed about seventy five pound
and was presented with the com
pliments of Fred Huber. Fred had
two of the mammoth squashes on
exhibition at the county fair each
weighing over a hundred pounds,
and he grew one which weighed
one hundred twenty five pounds.
Squashes and apples have nothinjr
in common yet one reminds us of
the other, Miss Rose Smith havine
brought in a huge apple Wednes
day, a souvenir of her trip to Idaho.
Miss Smith and her mother, Mrs.
J. F. Smith are just back from a
four weeks trip in which Mrs.
Smith visited her sister, Mrs.
James Knowels, at Nampa, Idaho,
whom she had not seen before in
twenty yars. They found Idaho
prosperous, .having experienced
good year with fine crops. Fru
grain and alfalfa fourish on the
irrigated lands thire. One farmer,
who had four acree of peaches, sold
from it this year $1880 worth
fruit.

Thos. Boulden, who has a rhilos-
ophy of his own, says times-will not
get as ,bad with us new as thcee
were which followed the close of
the civil war. Why? Because we
were a debtor nation then, whereas
now we are a creditor nation and a
nation like a man who has some
thing coming in, is better off than
one who has to meet debts as well
as current expenses.
ler'a market. The seller was able
to make the prico and the buyer
had to use strategy occasionally to
to get his order filled at all. The
normal condition of things, the
buying market is now returning to
control. The sales agent is moie
frequently met with and people
with manufactured stocks or with
produce are paying more attention
to the selling end of the game.
People who for the past few sea
sons had to beg workmen to cut
wood or do farm work, now have
these joba sought for. The holo
who had all but disappeared, is
once more in evidence. It looka as!
if we were headed back to Normalcy.
We believe there is merit in the
proposal to make Senator Chanil er-
lain secretary of war. While
Chamberlain did not assist openly
in the election of Harding, he ma
terially contributed by his record in
office to foster a state of public
sentiment from which Harding
profitted. The choice of Harding
was as free from pure partisanship
as any election has exhibited In
years. It would be only fair if he
recognized the general nature of
the support given'him'at the polls
by liberality in selecting his ollici; 1
advisors. President Wilson had
the opportunity during the war of
uniting the nation as one huge fam
ily. If he had been able to over
look the narrow bounds of rarti-
sinship and with a coaliticn ca'mut
given full credit to the patriotism
of his political opponents as well as
his followers, the result of the late
election would have been vastly
different. In a considerably lesser
digree the same opportunity now
awaits Mr. Harding.
Speaking about poor roads in
Polk county, we doubt if there are
any worse in the county than the
one that leads over the Fishback hi1
and the Antioch hill during the
wet months. Chas. Orsborn of
Antioch butchered a 650 pound hog
recently and because the road was
so bad thai he could not get it to
market he reduced the hog to lard
and secured 250 pounds in addition
to "the regulur amount of hams,
spare ribs, etc. Mr. Orsborn says
that during the prune season be
had to use six horses to haul 19
boxes of prunes to the dryer;.
