C. Magarell, between Beaver and Blaine on last Saturday. A happy party of some 500 people with baskets well filled, enjoyed one of Oregon’s most beautiful days. R. C. Magarell, the Master, and Miss Fannie Smith, Sec retary of the Grange, made all feel at home, ably assisted by a committee of Rev. R. Y. Blaylock, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Wood and Mrs. Jacob Nichols. The grange was organized last Feb ruary and has an actual membership of over 65 of the best citizens of that part of Tillamook County, and is growing rapidly. Early in the morning the people, old and young, married couples with children, young men with sweet hearts and future wives, began arriv ing in autos, buggies and wagons. The forenoon exercises were held in the grove, Rev. Blalock was master of ceremonies, a large choir of ladies and men sang beautifully some of the old songs that touch the heart, and to us older ones, who have wondered far from the old home farm, brought back fond memories of the old home, old parents, old loves, old times: And back to me comes the husking bee, When 1 found the red ear, And took my choice of the maids. And the old brown fiddle. Sang, "Down the middle,” When I led Sally to dance. But that time of hope and bliss, That gave me Sally to kiss, Alas, can never come back, For Sally now sleeps, Where the willow tree weeps, And 1 husk the corn alone. The words and melody of "I love the Farm” rang down through mem ories halls and lulled us to slumber that night, long after the stars shown forth and the birds had slept with heads beneath their wings. The speakers were J. H. Dunstan and Mr. W. Maxwell, of Fairview Garnge, and Mrs. Hattie Vail, deputy State Lecturer of the Grange, and others, all full of pure home thoughts advice and council for the betterment of all. Your scribe drove out from Tilla mook with Mr. Roy Jones, county agriculturist, and his intelligent little daughter in his new Ford, Judge Cal Worrall, on arrival bought ice cream cones for several little girls and told them to bring all the pretty little girls up for him to treat and was soon surrounded by more than 50 of these beautifus flowers of earth. One sweet little bud whispered to her sis ter,"Hurry up, or the man will be out of money,” but he stood pat and all were happy, including some big girls and aged mothers, and the judge was soon a prime favorite with all the ladies. At noon a long table was spread with those "good things,” from chick en to cake, that only the country people know how to prepare, includ ing watermellons pres'ented by Roy Jones. Two handsome matrons liv ing near Cloverdale were seen eating with a pickle and cake together, on the correct theory that each made the other taste better. After dinner catne the sports and races in charge of Mr. Wood; the horse race was won by Henry Far- mer’s black mare, with Virgil Kel- low's bay, second; the free for all foot race was closely contested with Webb McGinnis, first, Roy Sailing, second; one boys race was won by Bob Coulson, with Joe Huston sec ond; another boy's race, the first and second prizes were won by twins so much alike they couldn’t be told apart. The little girls race had to be run twice it was so close, Artice Col lier won, with F.mtna Huston and Ruth Allison 2nd and 3rd, another little girls race was w •on by Jessie Jenson, with Charlotte Miser second, The race that caused t the most ex- citement was between the I handsome young ladies living 1 near ___ ______ Beaver, , Rubie Johnson and Carry Redaway, both as pretty and swift r." as ycur.g young Gazelles, the first race was a tie, and hut a few inches between them in the second. The fat man and ladies’ race was postponed because they all said they had eaten too much dinner to run. All in all the day was one long to be remembered, and, as the sun went low, all went homeward glad that they lived amid natures beauties with pure air and water, and happy, pure, Christian home lives.

State Press Clippings Cates, of the Polk County Observer is probably 1» pivuauijr both MV... a - god o---. judge .. of but- ter and a judge of good butter. He is 1 eminently right in the following ob-! servation: "The Standard Oil Com- ' pany, it is announced, will tnanufac- ■ ture butter as a by-product. The Standard a long tine ago manufac-I tured axel grease, and from axel grease to some kinds of butter is on ly a step.”—Telephone Register. There is a good deal of hard every day common sense in the following few lines: Someone who has been figuring on the hard times has come I I to the conclusion that they are cans i ed by the fact that most people buy ! more than they produce. It says: 1 “\Ve let our Himber rot and buy fenc ing; we throw away our ashes and buy soap; we give away our hides and buy rope; we raise dogs and buy hogs; we let our manure go to waste and buy fertilizer; we grow weeds and buy vegetables and brooms; we catch 5-cent fish with a $4 rod; we build school houses and send our children away to be educated; and lastly we send our boys out with a $40 gun and a $10 dog to hunt 10-cent birds.”—News Reporter. The authorities of Jackson county have decided to prosecute with vigor all cases of accident resulting from carelessness during the hunting sea son, and have already taken the necessary steps by arresting the principal actor in the recent fatal ac cident in the woods near Medford. If it is born in mind by those who go into the mountains for sport, that any undue excitement and haste of lack of precaution resulting in the wounding or death of another will not be pass ed by as unavoidable accident, but that the party responsible will be subject to a heavy fine or imprison ment, it cannot help but have a bene ficial effect. While sympathy is al ways given to those who are unwitt ingly the authors of these deplorable affairs, sympathy does not heal the wound or bring back to life the vic tims, nor does it assuage the grief of those left to mourn.—Umpqua Valley News. The jobbers and manufacturers of Oregon must be playing the news papers of the state for a bunch of suckers. Every little while this of fice, and we presume, most every other office in the state, gets a re quest to do some favor or other for them in the way of giving free space boosting "Oregon made" (their) products, etc. All the while they have persistently and consistently failed to make good their promises of "greatly appreciating” any of the favors extended them, in the only way that they could show their ap preciation, namely, by patronizing the advertising space of the state pa pers. If the Oregon papers have reason to boost any-one’s product, it is the product of the Eastern manu facturers, for the Eastern concerns are liberal patronizers of their space. If the Oregon manufacturers do not find the Oregon papers of value as advertising media, how can they find I them of value when the space is given free?-Banks Hearld. The Appearance of Things. Whjjcver the merits or demerits of Mr. Jones may be, there is a question of taste in his appointment on the Federal Reserve Board while a gov ernment suit is pending against him. It is true that he has not been in dicted, but if the civil suit under the Shertnan act should be successful the criminal clause of that law could be enforced. The chief deliverance of the Baltimore platform on the sub ject of trusts was a demand for more rigorous enforcement of the criminal clause of the Sherman act. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican which might be classed as a thick-and-thin friend of the administration in its general policies, feels that some other suitable person should have been found for this high position in the new financial system. In order to set out the nature of the government’s objections to the practices of the In ternational Harvester Company, the Republican reproduces from the news columns of April 30 and May 1,1912 the following abstract of the attorney general's complaint: The government charges that the defendants have absorbed competing companies, but concealed their owner ship, permitting them to be adver tised "as wholly independent and without connection with them, the ’trust’ or any ‘combination,’ intending thereby to mislead, deceive and de- fraudthe public and more effectually cripple existing competitors and keep out new ones," The bill contains these charges: "Defendants have re sorted to unfair trade methods; have made inaccurate and misleading state ments concerning rival machines or concerning the credit of competitors; have by misrepresentations sought to induce competitors’ agents and deal ers to abandon them and in divers unfair ways have endeavored to des troy them and for the purpose of dis- tractive competition have reduced prices of their machines in some lo calities below cost of production and distribution while keeping prices up in other localities. "Defendants have systematically bought up patents upon harvesting machinery, tools and implements and acquired all new inventors therein, in order thereby more effectually to perpetuate the combination and mo nopoly." The Republican suggests that the president should either direct the at torney general to dismiss the suit or he should withdraw the appointment of one of the defendants. Mr. Jont.i, to the Federal Reserve Board. The synopsis of the testimony of Mr. Jones before the senate Conimjttff on Banking and Currency shows that he was jn accord with his associates on the board of the Harvester Com pany and that he defended the prac tices of the corporation. His testi mony was frank and manly and the country thought better of him that he did not try to occupy the pose of re former the president was led. through some mysterious information, to as- TILLLAMOOK COUNTY FAIR SEPTEMBER 15-16-17-18,’14 $ We want every Man, Woman and Child in the County to make an exhibit and help make this hair a grand success.

While the currency measure was being fashioned its au thors declared that the Federal Re serve Board should be as dignified a body as the Supreme Court of the United States. It was even intimated that party lines should be ignored in the selection of its personnel. They may have been, although it is worthy of note that all the appointees are Democrats.
