Emil Horning and his bride of a few weeks, at their home on North t'ottnge street Inst night. After bund practice at (he school the band, attended by a large following of rooters, repaired to the Homing domicile nnd made the ev ening zephers vibrate, with sounds of melody, ns discord, in the hopes of get ting u "rise" out of the "newly weds' to the extent of a big "feed." Al though this was the fourth attempt to corral the elusive couple it was abso lutely devoid of any semblance of suc- cess and, after parading about the house inside ami out, lor more than nn hour. land awakening the entire neighborhood, the boys were compelled to give up in despair and without so much as fl mouthful of refreshments, llrs.

Mr. Peterson's Letter St. Paul, Ore., Nov. 4, 1015. Editor Capital Journal: It is with some surprise and a deep sense of personal loss that, the writer learned from the daily press that the work of the county agriculturist, for Marion county had been discontinued on October (i for lack of funds, the county court having persistently re fused to make any direct appropria tion for this work. We also observe with satisfaction that tho Salem Commercial club ' is working arduously to miiiutuin the work. 10 very farmer in Marion coun ty should dike of his hut, to the Sa lem Commercial club for it was this body that secured a county agricul turist in September, 11)12, giving Mar ion county the distinction of being the first county in the west to employ a county agriculturist. That fall the county agriculturist was. culled in and the possibilities of growing corn in this vallev were dis-l cussed. He urged the importance of local grown seed and the next spring was on the job with some of the bests he could find. I'nder, his direction and' management a boys' corn club was organized nud a corn show held that fall in October, at St. Paul, antrum county, mis was t tie tirst com show, if the wriler is rightly informed ever held west of the Kockies. Suc ceeding corn shows arid persistent ef forts to secure better seed and better methods of cultivation hnvo afforded a marked stimuluy to the corn indus try.' There are at least 25 acres of corn in Murion county this season where there was one acre three years ago and the quality and yield per acre have ulso ' increased. As further evidence nud final proof that corn can be suc cessfully grown in Marion county six local corn shows are planned for dif ferent parts of the county this fall and a county show is to be held at Salem in December. As proof of the value of this work take the ensn of the w riter two acres of corn in 1012 that did not mature nnd with little value com pared w ith 20 acres in ID 111 that husk ed 45 to 50 bushels of good inaiketable corn per acre. This is no exception as there are thousands of good mature corn in Alar ion county this season as a direct result of the county agriculturist 's work. Then how can any man doubt that it pays? In this connection we wish to quote at some length from n speech recently delivered by Senator Halph Metcnlf before the Tnciimn Commer cial club and the county commissioners of Pierce county, Washington, on the subject of employing a county agricul turist. Senator Metcnlf said in part: "The country is the city's backbone. We will all agree that tho prosperity of our city, county ami stale depend largely upon the development of I he country. Crossing the Atlantic, we find that every nation in Kurope ex cept Russia produces two and Ihree times as much per lie re on land that 1....1 i , .... i .:,... ...i ...... t . , ii.t.i I..-. .. . .ii. .villi . i iim ceiuuries lie- .
