He wishes the day to be devoted to an ob servance of such exercises as may contrib ute to a better understanding between labor and capital, the great moving forces behind modern industrial development. i ii i it. aonnnillv kllOWtl it IS the llOlllO of j ..v.. , , the rock oyster. In but' one other spot! in the world is this member of the oyster! family to be found, at a small place on j the coast of Spain.

The series already given have been both pleas ant and profitable, but unless some sys tematic effort is put forth for their con tinuance they will terminate with the next concert. Mr. Dave Calbreath has had charge of the matter so far and he thinks it only fair that somebody else should take their turn. Who will volun teer? The concerts should be kept up until after hoppicking. President Roosevelt is spending the holidays in meeting the people of New England. Incidentally he is giving them in his addresses some good, sound, sensi ble advice. At Willimantic, Conn., he spoke as follows: "This nation has great problems to face, problems in its external policy, problems even more important in the administration of its internal affairs. We can solve them only if with serious purpose we set ourselves to the task alike in the national and state governments and in the local municipality and county organizations. We have great problems ahead of us as a nation. They will task our intelligence, but they will task still more what ranks ahead of intelligence character." gives the following interesting description; of the rock oyster: "The scientific name i ti.i.. , I a-,, .ill l.ivnlv.w it.

In an interview the other day Dairy and Food Cornmis " sioner Bailey" said that for the past year scarcely a pound of butter has been shipped into Oregon, that the creameries of Oregon were not only supplying the local markets, but were shipping butter to COMPANY Warehouses at Independence, Monmouth and Airlie.
