W S B«H «r« W«dnMd«7of N«xt And then the presidential race Wednesday of next week will be a red letter day for the farm ers, dairymen and horticulturists ■ o f this community, this being the date set for the big demonstra tion train o f seven cars sent out by the Southern Pacific which is being operated throughout the Willamette valley in conjunction w ith the Oregon Agricultural 'College and Experiment Station. H. A. Hinshaw, representing the Southern Pacific, w as in tow n a few days ago making arrange ments for the big meeting and it looks now like Newberg would i furnish the banner crowd for the visitors. The train will arrive in New berg on Tuesday evening and will remain over night. The hours set for visitors are from 8:45 to 10:45 making a tw o- hours program which will be none too long time and conse quently it will be necessary for people to be on time to the dot if they get the full benefit o f all that is coming. Dr. Jas. Withycombe. director o f the Experiment Station, will be in charge and as speakers ami dem onstrators there will be M. O . Lownsdale, - horticulturist, Prof. A. B. Cordley, entom olo gist, Prof. C. L Lewis, horticul turist, Prof. A. D. S cu d d e r, agronom ist, Prof. P. L. Kent, dairy husbandry, Prof. R. W. Al le n , assistant horticulturist, Harry Asbahr, herdsman. A car will be fitted up with a modern d a ily stall, with milk •cow and milking machine and a •dairyman will tell you all about the latest and m ost approved methods of dairying. Other cars will be arranged for demonstrat ing the various industries that are to be represented and every minute o f the tw o hours allotted to Newberg will be utilized for the benefit of all who have inter est enough to come to tow n and « v a il themselves of the opportu nity. The train will probably be switched onto the track down tow n where it will be convenient for everybody to reach it. This will be the biggest thing for pro ducers in educational lines that ever came to tow n and no one within reach can afford to miss it . Come early in order to get it all and see that your neighbors know about it. Ganderbones’ Forecast for Novem ber. A table and a pitcher, A tumbler and a stand, A man in double-breasted clothes, And music by the band; A last appeal to reason A crowd with cheering daft— Some folks think it’s Bryan And others think it’s Taft. In the old Roman calendar No vember was the ninth month. Blessings fell early, and the em pire gave thanks just before the first frost; but about 700 B. C. the trusts left the people so little t o be thankful for after nine months that it was decided to w ait awhile and see if anything would come of the Roman elec tions. Numa accordingly made November the eleventh month and had Thanksgiving fall with the first snows, notwithstanding the month gets its name from the Latin novem*(mne). The frisky colt will sniff the air and hear the whistling quail, the festive calf will indicate the zenith with his tail. The frost will paint the forest with a deep and redder dye, the hired man will shuck the corn, the pumpkin vine will pie, the politicians will hit Will hold its royal sway, And everyone will exercise His liver, anyway. He’ll pounce it up and down be tween His pancreas and gizzard, And waltz it through his inner works From A around to Izzard, And even though his present race May prove to be in vain^ He’ll nave the health and strength to run Sometime, perhaps, again. At any rate the candidates will dash into the stretch, and 'both Bills-o’-the-Wisp will make them selves quite hard to k e t c h . They’ll spurt in spirited response to many mild arouaers, and tan the dust up with the slack dow n hanging from their trousers. They’ll come in sight exhibiting a score o f fancy paces, and only hit the trembling earth in tour or five high places. The air will darken with the flight o f gravel, dirt and sods, and the crowd will sound its battle cries and give and offer odds. And Teddy mean while Will wedge m quite close beside the track, with something that he has concealed within a paper sack, and when his entry charges down, hot-footen like the wind, T. R. will hang a hor nets nest upon him dow n behind. And then there will be doings on This agitated sphere— The earth win pitch and buck to beat A frenzied Texas steer. The sun will spin around and round And blow up once or twice, The moon will turn a very dark And bloody ball o f ice, And no one will remain to see Who w on the race for vice. ‘ The election will be hdd on the 3rd, and the trusts will hold an all-night prayer meeting on the 2nd. Mr. Bryan will cast his vote for Mr. Taft at Lincoln. Mr. Taft will return the courtesy at Cincinnati, and Mr. Rockefel ler will receive the news at Cleve land. The quadrennial ass who wheels another quadrennial ass through tow n on a wheel barrow will start from the Post- office at 10 o ’clock on the morn ing o f the 4th, followed by 90 boys and the Foolkiller. The complete returns will be in by the 15th. The annual show-down be tween city and country life will be complete by the 20th, when the farmer will have his cellar stocked with potatoes, turnips, kraut, honey, nuts, hams, side- meat, souse, popcorn, pickles, pigs’ feet, applebutter, lard sweet potatoes and sorghum, and the city man will enter the winter with his cellar stocked with ten tons o f hard coal and tw o gas meters. The man who made election bets, Relying on his knowledge, Will write a sad note to his son, Withdrawing him from college. The football season will wind up The class room claimits braves, And the faculty will order flowers And decorate the graves. A double fleece-lined coat of hair will come in style for dogs, and the farmer will put on the pot and kill his fattened hogs. The air will team with shots and squeals and sundry flavors sweet, the good housewife will render lard and scrape and pickle feet, the spared old hens will get a note o f terjftr in their cacklings, and the children will refresh their gums with good, old-fashioned cracklings. Mr. Roosevelt's annual procla mation advancing the price o f turkey 10 cents a pound will be issued about the middle of the month. He will urge us to give thanks that 55,000,000 cubic feet of earth were excavated at Panama in October. the chief problem before the na tion. On the man who gives the material for clothes and food the entire nation depends. Through him society isjooted in the land. Many o f the great economic improvements in late years have been directed to the betterment o f fanning. The Department o f Agriculture has been working to increase the productivity ol the land, to instruct farmers in the best methods o f cultivation.
