Bcmom Why Growers 8bold Sot Contract Tfcto Tew, bat Co rmrtm f or - Tbeir HatwU Good. ' Editor Statesman: I de sire, throngli the columns of your valuable paper, to state a few reasons why we hop growers, should not cxn trart our doming! hops. . f ! ' Past experience has taught us that contracts have not, in most instances, been satisfactory to the growers. ; They have been at starvation rates, or if at good figures, the hops are too otea rejected. This, does not relieve the pressure of our surplus hops over con tracted yards, or - those not contri;:d, when an over-supply is, appariJt. What we want i to pat our industry upon a more solid basis, so the grower may feel that what bales he may put On. the market will bring a fair profit for labor and money expended. This movement has already begun in the several hop-grwing states, and is cer tain to adjust the "business in a way that will secure us a reasonable com pensation tor our crops, if we do not bar its progress by entering into con tracts that will so bind us that we will be hampered from exercising our f let ter judgment when this new plan is presented and tisderstood by us. This new plan is simple and can easily be worked out through the associations ot the several states, they operatingl together in joint committee. It ss briefly this: j , , That we growers sign a written ob ligation, one that is strong and. bind ing, formulated; by our associations, one that will compel its observances as strictly as a note or a similar obli gation, not to harvest but lop off such per cent of our acreage of hops, just before picking time, that is reported, by o"r joint committee from the sev eral states, as a surplus for this year. That this written obligation is in full force and binding, provided, say 75 or 80 per cent of the acreage is so obli gated, and that, if such per cent is not so obligated, then this obligation is not binding on anyone who has not 'signed it. Under these conditions the grower who signs first is not bound, until the last one signs required to -:ireach the agreed per cent of siguers. Each district or territory may have an inspector who will be appointed by the association, to throw down or .cause to be thrown down such per cent of hops as directed by the aforesaid joint committee. In most instances the growers will prefer to throw down the hops them selves, each one.being informed jn.wIiLt parts f his yards the poorest hops are growing. This will leave iioth.ing for the inspector to do but count the acte age and report the same. This will raise pur grade of hops, as the" poorer grades will be unharvested. 'After this is done the grower majf go forward with some degree of con fidence to harvest his crop, pay hf$ pickers and other help a fair compen sation for labor, and expect to' sell lus crop for such price as will leave him a reasonable margin. Under those conditions confidence will be restored and bankers will read:lt loan on easy terms. Buyers can make quick sales. therefore require but smdl profits, and the brewer will cheer fully pay a fair price for he knows his neighbor cannot get hops for a trifle and thereby undersell him. ; Now what we should do is to have local hop meetings, send delegates to state conventions, set the wheel to roll ing, and we will have no need to tic ourselves up in a one-sided contract.

The tendency . toward" extravagar.ee prevailing in feminine attire is evident in the use of hand-painting as a fash ionable nioile of decoration. We havt hand painting" on gownjf on parasolf and even on lingerie. jlNot only are silk and gauze embellished by t'he ar tist's brush, but cloth and linert art also treated in this manner. Sometimes the paintiug is made tjuite realistic bj the apjHcation of artificial flowcr pctalf at one side of the painted blossoms with beads for a centre.: For instance a black sflk costume is painted al! around the" edges, in sprays of wild yel low roses, the leaves veined w-ith cbtl' green beads. v - Many of the gauzes arc half painted and half embroidered or appliqucd. One white gown has a rich- boreler of pink velvet ro.ses at the; bottom of the skirt; above them is a Biass of smaller roses, some! of the petali painted, some of velvet, and above this second floral garland sprays of painted roses taper up toward the top of the skirt. The decoration on the bodice is treated in the same way, painted petals and vel vet petals mingling and harmonizing most effectively. ! j An audacious half-mourning frock, evidently intended for a very dashing widow, has a skirt of white satin with a deep fnic of black gauze ornamented with sprays of exquisitely painted lilacs. The swathed bodice is similarly orna mented and the low decplctage is filled in with a berthe of lace. The elbow sleeves are also of lace, j- On moussdine de soic hand paint-, ing is particularly effective. A gown of tlie gauzy fabric in pale pink recently completed was showered with silver pailettes, not woven in the material, but sewed on by hand, and all through tfhis silver shower were orchids painted on the material in exquisite mauve tints and niarvclously true to nature. On a pale yellow gauze are.; also purple or chids, but instead of silver there are gold pailettcs. When the skirt' of a ball gown is made in tlie fashion thus described the waist has the same pat tern of orchids, but in smaller flowers across thefront, and the back of the waist is made of the pailctte ' strewed material. -A jeweled belt and jeweled straps across the shoulders, and a- belt and sash of white chiffon fastened with gold buckle, ; finishes llvefwait. with the exception of a bunch of orchids on the left shouHer. ' - A gown of china blue crepe, painted with -wreaths of snowdrops, falls in classic folds and is caught up on one shoulder with a white dove, from which falls a flowing drapery. Another skirt is of pink taffeta, partially covered by tiny frills of pink mouse!ine .de sole, the overdress being in white chiffon scattered with garland of blush roses, with bodice to correspond. Certainly the evening gown at once suggests itself as the most appropriate tor the new form of decoration. Under wear painted seems fantastic, to say the least, but a white silk petticoat orna mented with spray of lilies of; the val ley and a White satin corset adorned by srhaded mauve otcbids j appear among lingerie novelties. , j ; . Very beautiful hand painted parasrds ?rc to be seen among the new season's exhibit. One should say decidedly that the novelty- among the parasols luxurious, is the white jatin sun shade painted with exquisite bouquets sprays or garlands of flowers.

( From Daily Statesman';' April 22.) ; Registration bi, voters, in the county clerk's oiVice, is Vcmarkably slow, and, as there is now less than three- wceljs in which to register, there is no. tithe to lose for those who have not yet placed their names upon the election register, and thus secured the right to veitc at the June and November elec tions without further trouble. ! The notaries" public j and justices of the peace, in the rural districts, have sent in a good many names during the past month, and those parts ef Marion county are better represented on the list of voters registered, than are the voters in and surrounding Salem. Considerable trouble, has been ex perienced, by the county clerk, in lo cating resident of Howell precinct, who reside brlwccti, the West -Branch and tlie Middle Branch tf Pudding liver.. These citizens all think they are in -Englewood prcciuct. and have par ticipated in the primaries in that legal subdivision, when in reality they re side in Howe-ll precinct. The dividing lii.c between these "two. precincts 'is the West Branch, and. all those residing cast of that line arc not in Englcwood precinct. Up' to the hour of closing the office last evening the number of voters regis tered had reached the total of 490.I, Following is 'a Jist of the precincts, to gether with the total7 registration in each : Aumsville. ,'. . 150 77 - 35 MJ 107 ,t 18 20T1 5t 110 LSI 70 lot 77 & 100 ia.t 120 iM 307 .w 235 Aurora. . . . . .
