McMinnville.— A W est Side Farm ers' week and picnic is to be held in M cMinnville June 21 to 24, under the auspices o f the M cMinnville Grange. Other granges and farmers' unions as well as all other farm ers’ organiza tions are invited to participate. Speakers of national standing as well as leading educators o f the north west will be invited The agricultural college w ill be asked to hold a farm ers' Institute in connection with the week's program The committee has been assured of the assistance of County Agriculturist M. S. Shrock, whose work is along similar lines. Following are some of the speakers who will be invited: Secretary of A g riculture David F. Houston, Governor Withycombe, President W. J. K err and R. D. Hetzel, of the agricultural col lege; President P. L. Campbell, of the University of Oregon; J. Frederick Thorne, of the same institution; Dr. C. H. Chapman, o f Portland; J. A.

It is the intention of the committee to ask the candidates for president on the republican, democratic and prohi bition parties to participate in the program. Opposes Inviting Laborers to Oregon University, o f Oregon, Eugene— L e t ters that invite laboring men to come and settle in Oregon should not be sent by Oregonians to Eastern friends or Eastern newspapers. This admonition was given by O. P. Hoff, state labor commissioner, to students in the Uni versity school o f commerce. “ Oregon offers less opportunity for the laboring man than any state in the Union. A city the size o f Portand has five times as hard work taking care o f a surplus o f 10,000 men as a city o f the same size in Massachusetts has, because Portland does not have the great man ufacturing establishments of the East,” said Mr. Hoff. The state labor commissioner thinks that as a partial remedy for winter un- employment the state should arrange to get needy men onto small tracts of stump land. " N o man can make a profitable investment by buying such land and putting all his tim e on it , ” said Mr. Hoff, “ but by using his idle tim e any man could build up a good home in a few years.” Mr. H off said compulsory safeguards would put an end toj>0 per cent o f all accidents in industrial plants in Ore gon. ______ Electric Line Proposed.

The plan Is to lay the rails on concrete ties to reduce the cost o f maintenance. The route has been selected with an idea of tapping much of the freight- producing area of the country, as well as the area of passenger traffic. The line from here to Cold Springs Land ing would be a feeder to the open river. A story of great love and great hate. H eart stirring inter est in every chapter.

It was a single, flawless emerald, square cut and set In a narrow band of sap phire. Farquhar took It from Its case and held it out to her. “ You don’t understand. It can't be just now. it's as though we were re joicing In tbe midst of a terrible grief. Surely you have heard?” “ I know that your brother has not been found.” he answered earnestly. " I know that he was— is very dear to you. Why should that come between us now?” “ Because— ” She made a little, feeble gesture o f despair, and then went on breathlessly.
