Mushrooms

An enthusiast on the subject of mush-
rooms says there is no more reason
to mistake a good mushroom for a
poisonous toadstool than to confound
nightshade with huckleberries. The
distinctions are clear and simple and
easily learned. Real mushrooms are
known by their beautiful pink gills,
not reaching the stem, which stem car
ries a we'll marked white woolly ring
by the very feshy down covered top
the delicious and enticing fragrance
the firm, white flesh, sometimes in
cllned to pink when cut or broken
One or two rules In regard to gathering
mushrooms, we are told, will remove
all the peril from the pursuit Of them
Examine carefully every specimen yor
gather. If at all doubtful, throw II
away. Show it to somebody tha
knows. Never cook mushrooms un
less you know they are gathered by
! somebody that knows.

Rig New Depot at Yakima.

The construction of the new North
ern Pacific freight depot will be COM
menced Thursday morning.
The new building will be on the
main line between A and streets.
The office end will front north on b
street and the main building will ex-
tend 500 feet down the tracks. The
building will be So feet wide and will
be modern in every particular. 1t will
be so constructed that additions to the
south end can be made as needed by
the company in handling its growing
business at this place.
The material used will be brick
throughout. After the new warehouse
is built the erection of new passen-
ger station is to be taken up. This was
under consideration by the company
last winter. and it was intended tc
have built the structure when the new
freight depot went up, but the fire
coming on at the time it did the

PROFITS OF UNIONS
IDAHO WOULD INITIATE
OREGON'S METHODS.
Prof. IL. I. French of Idaho Agricul-
tural College, Gives an Excellent
Review of Hood River FruitSrow-
crs' Union, in Recent Bulletin
Organization Has Proved to Be
Highly Profitable.

So well pleased is the state of Ida
no with the fruitgrowers' union of
Hood River, Ore, that Prof. II. I.
French. of the Idaho Agricultural col
lese at Moscow, has given a good re-
view of the working of the Hood
River union in bulletin on apples,
lust issued by him. The bulletin says:
one of the most successful fruit
unions in the Pacific northwest is the
Applegrowers' union of Hood River.
Organized only in 1908, this union has
in two seasons built up a reputation
for an honest and uniform pack that
has doubled and tripled the prices re-
ceived for apples, and made them
eagerly sought in eastern and foreign
markets.
Before 1908 Hood River was pro-
ducing as fine fruit as since, but the
price received from Spitzenburgs was
/ then about So cents; the first year the
union operated the price advanced to
| 50. and last year the entire output
was sold by contract at $3.50 per box
| The union now has 115 members and
| controls SO per cent of the apples
produced in the valley.
The plan of organization and busi
ness methods of so successful unior
are sufficiently important to the fruit
| growers of this state to merit descrlp
ton here. The constitution and oy
laws are not obtainable in printed
form, but are almost identical Will
htose of the Hood River Fruitgrowera
union. the chief difference being tina
the stock is SO a share instead of 81
and of this $3.50 is paid up. EacI
member must hold at least one share
and many are content with the mini
mum holding.
The entire expenses Of the organi
cation are met b. charge of cent
on every box of fruit handled. A re
ceipt is given the driver who deliver
the fruit at the warehouse, and frol
copy of this retained at the otfic
the fruit is charged on the ledger o
the debit side.
When the boxes are loaded on II
cars they are credited on the ledge
balancing the previous entry. VINE
. the check comes back from the buy
) each grower is credited with his pr
portionate share, less the charges
the union.
The union guarantees every bo
9 and has established such reputau'
! that it's products are sold in the
7 acting English markets without /
spection. No seconds or poor vari
! ties are allowed to go out under t
Z union label; the grower is expected

GOOD CHEER AT MEALS.
The Value of Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.

DtSekttOn.
Nothing else will take the place of
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time in the home. There is
a vital connection between amiability
and digestion-between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter Is the best
friend the liver has and depression or
melancholia its worst enemy. Numer-
Gus experiments have shown that mirth
and cheerfulness stimulate the secre-
ton of the gastric juices and are pow
erful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing
this. many of us sit as gloomy and alb
sorbed at the table as at a funeral.
In many homes scarcely word Is
spoken at meals outside of requests for
an article of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying mere animal
| function. The bell which calls the
! family to the table ought to be the sig
nal for good time generally when
all cares should be thrown off and ev'
erybody appear at his best 1t ought
