control Of the borers, eradicsting the
green and.black aphis and the spraying
or Goblin moth. The thinning Of
fruit will also be considered.
Both the forenoon and afternoon
sessions are open to the public and 1t
is expected that all will attend who
are interested in the development OF
the fruit industry in Josephine
county. In no line OF industry does
experience cost so much as in fruit
growing and the grower who attempts
to learn thr ough his own efforts or to
bliudly bIunder aloug will pay dearly
in wasted effort, loss of money and oil
time. It is at the fruit growers
meeting that the alert, progressive
orchardist gains the knowledge that
will enable him to avoid the mist ,ket
and losses of other orchardists and to
learn how to profit by the success OF
others. And there 10 no class more
free to tell OF their successes and
failures than are fruit growers and tc
give helping hand to the beginner in
| the industry.

Practically the entire interest of the day centred
about the water display the placid Delaware.
where during the afternoon there a parade of
nearly two hundred vessels OF every class of craft

LORD OF THE AIR.
Title Bestozced by French 4dmirers
on Wilbur Wright.
Paris Ssntemher %.

Paris September %.
The flights OF Wilbur Wright in his aeroplane
at the Camp d'Avours, near lie Mans in which
he has broken the worlds records in aviation.
have been witnessed by thousands of Parisians.
Wilbur Wright apart from the qualities that
have ELECTED from his French admirers the well
merited title of "Maftre de rAir"-'Lord of the
Air"-has aroused keen interest by his strong
individuality. He is looked as the personih-
cation of the Plymouth Rock spirit, TO which
French students of the United States, from de
Tocquevile to Jules Huret Urban Confer. Paul
Bourget and Andre Tardieu, attribute the grit
and indomitable perseverance that characterize
American efforts in every department OF human
activity. highly attractive and witty Partisan
lady, whose husband occupies a foremost posi-
ton in political life. and who has Just returned

Wilbur Wright, in conversation with the
writer related her personal Impressions which
present Wilbur Wright seen through the
face-a-main of a leader Of smart society.
THE first impression not altogether
favorable" she said. M Wright appeared a
bit too rough and rugged His expression was
fixed and terribly stern. But the moment he
opened his lips TO speak the veil of severity van
ished. His voice is warm sympathetic and
vibrating. There Is a kindly look that imparts
exceptional charm and refinement to his bright,
intelligent eyes. The shape of the head the
high, oval skull and the prominent, beaklike
nose give him the appearance of an eagle. He
wore rough overal1s and thick double breasted
REFER Jacket. He remarked that his sister for
whom he had the most devoted affection, would
scold him could she him in his uncouth
costume, stained with grease and bearing the
marks of the workshop. The frank, honest way
in which he looks straight In the eyes the per-
son to whom ne speaks and the firm grip of his
wiry, muscular hand seem to give true insight
into his character and temperament He is ex-
tremely modest and closely observes all that
takes place about him.
Il sat him at dinner He was called on
to make a speech He rose and after some
hesitation spoke in deep. low, musical voice
He said:
After dinner speaking is for me very hard
nut to crack. People usually like to do what
they can do best. The best thing that can do
is to remain silent. 1 cannot talk as well as
can fly. The best talker among birds, but the
worst flyer is the parrot. This, among many
other good reasons. induces me to refrain from
any attempt at making an after dinner speech.
Thus, unconsciously, Wilbur Wright accom-
plished neat and effective bit of after dinner
speaking He lives an austere, ascstic life, and
frequently retres like a medieval hermit into
his cell, which in this is his shed. He i'm
pressed me as of the most remarkable men
I have ever met" c. l. B.
