One day I was talking with one Of
my schoolmates about the dog, and she
told me that they wanted to get rid of
him and would sell him at low price.

the whole family made so much fun Of
my wanting him that I said no more.
But as Christmas was quite close I
begged father quietly to give me the
dog, as he was all I really wanted. On
Christmas morning, much to my de-
light, I found the dog in the kitchen. A
tiful-looking little object, sure
enough, but not for long when I was
sure he was mine. After week or so
Of good care and kindness everyone
was pleased with him and learned to
love him as well as I did myself, for he
turned out to be very intelligent and

I considered him my most treasured

A VETERAN WITH ONE ARM.

One Christmas 1 received a small
parcel, containing little box in which
was a small china doll with one arm
broken off. A little friend of mine
had sent it to me and could not re-
frain from laughing when I saw it. In
little while the child's mother came
in and she noticed it and asked who
had sent that present. I told her, and
she began to laugh; she stayed a little
while and then she went home.
Pretty soon someone knocked at the
door and I opened it. There stood the
little girl who had sent me the present
and she said, "Mama told me to give
you this handkerchief, but I like the
dollie a lot better, because Willie gave
it to me yesterday and I thought you
liked it, too, because when I showed it
to you you said, 'Oh, ISM the doll
lovely!' So thought if you liked it
so we'll I'd give it to you.' told her
I did think it was lovely and gave her
little cup and saucer and she went
home happy. I think the little doll
and box one of my best presents.

Arithmetic Of the Newspaper.

Once in awhile, and sometimes twice,
would-be critic suffers the torture of a
mental spasm when he sees turned
letter or misspelled word in the Gla-
cier, and the whole force from the devil
to the deity who presides in the sanctum
sanctorum is mathematical by the
erudite reader. who perhaps, cannot
for his life write simple sentence
void Of some error OF photography or syr-
tax, such 10 the peculiar eccentricity Of
some minds. So much has been said
recently regardinga few errors which
in the haste of hurried makeup have
unavoidably crept into the Glacier, that
the writer thought 1t would be inter-
esting to our critics and other good
friends to give them few facts concern
ing some of the little things which go to
make life q burden to the average
printer.
In a column Of solid S-point type such
as is used In the body OF the Glacier,
there are 200 lines, and there is an aver
age OF fraction more than 80 pieces of
type, including spaces, letters, punctua-
tion marks and figures in line. BY a
simple mathematical calculation it has
been found that there are 1l0,997, ,32I,- :
2O5, ,799, ,306 422, ,3S7, AIS, 1928, 504, 022, S00,-
900 900 opportunities to make an error
in composition in setting one line Of
type. In other words, printer has
but one chance to set line OF type cor.
rectly to the staggering number given
above against his doing so. Multiply
this number by 200 and you have the
trouble the compositor has to meet in
half days work. Use your gray matter
and multiply your last product by So,
the number Of columns we have to set
when we ill our eight pages of home
print, and you will begin to get an ink
ling of the opportunities we have for
making blunders in the print shop. But
the intelligent compositor is not the
only one who covers himself with--not
glory-but chagrin, by making blunders
which stir up the ire Of thecritics. To the
chances for error already enumerated
must be added the errors Of the make
up man and the pressman. You can
imagine, then, what the lord OF the paste
pot and scissors has ahead OF him at the
beginning OF the week. for he ie the

force. So, while 10 the casual observer
it is as easy as falling down cellar to put
up string Of type properly, it is neces-
sary for the comps to keep at least one
eye open is he dozes over his copy. And
this reminds us of one Of the most fruit
full sources of error that the printer
has to contend with. The printer is
not 90 particular about the spelling Of
the words or even the grouping of the
words, he can "doctor" that part OF it
II the characters Of which the words are
composed are legible But so long as
the average printer is not an adept at
mind reading he will not be able to
decipher ehirography which bears no
resemblance to anything in the alpha
bet. The correspondents of the Glacier,
however, who contribute regularly TO
its columns, furnish copy far above the

"Joseph Olwell of Jackson county says
the Rogue River apples will continue to
have a sale at top prices in the best
markets in the world, New York taking
the Spitzenbergs, for Americans prefer
a red apple, while London takes the
Newtowns, the Europeans preferring
the yellow apple. In the great market
OF New York City Mr.. 0lwell found the
Rogue River Spitzenbergs and New
towns not equalled by apples of those
varieties from any other section except
Hood River, which produces as good an
apple, but which does not yield the
profit OF Rogue River, for it costs $50 an
acre each season in that valley for
irrigation. The bright color, waxen
polish and perfect size, shape and flavor
of the Rogue River apples makes them
sell in preference to all other apples,
and at much higher price" :.
The above clipped from the Portland
Journal may sound all right to jack
son county man, or even to foreign
fruit commission man who is looking
for the best on earth. But to people
here in Hood River who have taken
gold, silver and other medals, taken the
Great Wilder medal for the best
fruit display at Buffalo; here, where we
have never failed to take the lions
share of medals whenever we have
exhibited, 1t sounds much like an echo
from the camp Of q ward politician.
We cannot repress a smile as we read
that Mr.. Olwell comedies that Hood
River produces apples as good as Rogue
River, for it is known everywhere that
the apples OF Hood River are unap..
proachable in their quality, beauty and
size. As to prices, Friend Olwell
apparently forgets that his people sold
50 many OF their apples last year at
prices from 25c to SOC per box below
those obtained at Hood River.
Now, the one thing Mr.. dwell at
tempts to hold up, like scare head on
the front page of a yellow Journal, is
that "it costs $50 an acre each year for
irrigation in Hood River valley" We
will not accuse Mr.. dwell Of wilful
instrumentation for we think him an
