Editor Glacier: rha memh hers 'of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Hood River, are laying plans
for opening Reading Room, and gen
eral rest room. We believe this will
meet long-felt want and we take this
opportunity through the columns of
your paper to invite the attention of
the fpublic and enlist its sympathy
aud cooperation. There are many
young men In the gcity whose homes
are not here, who board In one place
and often lodge In another and when
their days work Is done, there is no
place where they may spend pleasant
aud profitable evening, but are left
to drift into one of the questionable
resorts" where every influence Ia any
thing but eleVating. II we love our
country, it is the duty of every indi.
vilual to do all In their power to raise
the standard of Its manhood. Hood
River. who is so proud of her rerord
In ohter respects, and who loves to
stand In the fore front of every good
enterprise, must rally to the support
of this undertaking. In process of
time, when some of our bonds have
been cancelled, this can easily be
done by small tax.

brains

Brains are common to all parts of
the country, and traces OF them have
even been discovered in summer iD
Lenox, Bar Harbor, and Newport.
They are originally used to obtain
money, but when money is obtained
by them 1t usually takes their place.
The quality of brains varies in diff
erent localities. Mixed with ginger,
they become very valuable. With a
spine, they are necessity in every
household. At one time they infu-
enced literature, but the discovery
was made that literature could do
without them. Since then they have
been almost exclusively devoted to
to Advertising
Brains are employed 10 various en-
terrrises, They make bridges, rail.
roads, and other syst ems of trsnspor-
tation. They also create capital and
are used extensively In evading the
law. They mix with water and gaso-
line, but are absorted by alcohol.
Brains are bought and sold In the
open market. They may be traded in
on the exchange, in Washington or
Albany or In other political centers.
The hest quality, however, are not
traded in. Indeed, oftentimes they
aIe not even heard of until long after
they have passed away. Thomas L.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE
HOOD RIVER APPLE

One Of the most interesting features
so far In gu apple season replete with
interest has been the Hood River deal.
Never before has the fruit of the ia
nous valley in Oregon invaded the
east to such an extent; never before
hss its triumph been 80 clean cut and
complete. The season of 1908 has
without exaRgeration been epochsl to
the Hood River valley, and, more
than any other three seasons CON-
bined, has succeeded in bringing the
Valleys apple output before the i'm
mediate attenti IN Of the eastern con.
suming public. In fact, 1t may be
fairly said that the initial impetus
given by the dashing and brilliant
handling OF the Hood River deal this
season was to great degree RESPONSE
BILE for the marked publicity that the
western hox apple has recently been
receiving in all quarters. A little
"circussing, as show man would
put it, does no line of business any
harm, and the Hood River apple has
been ''circussed" admirabl bly-just
enough and not too much. 1t las
been placed and kept before the pub
lio eye by tactics in no sense opposed
to sound business conservatism, aud
the result has 5een boom for the
Hood River apple and the Hood Riv
er section that has transcribed all ex-
pectations.
But there is no Royal Road to sue
cess 10 the apple business. The ored-
1t tor the showing made in this deal
SO largely conceived and so quickly,
skiltully aud successfully oonsummat-
ed, is to be divided, share and sbai g
alike, between the men who grew,
packed and shipped the fruit in the
west and the men who handled, dis
tributed aud plugged" 1t in the east.
To the Hood River Apple Growers
Union is due the utmost need OF
praise in sending forward pack that
was as near perfection as anything
human can he. With these apples it
wss indeed case OF "You See One,
You See All" and 1t hasn't taken the
public long to catch on to the fact.
Well, over hundred cars from the
Valley-knocking all previous records
galley west-with the top layer in
every box typical of all the other lay
ers, and every box, pick It at hap
hazard as you please, typical OF the
balance of the car. Such apple grow
ing and packing can't help winning,
especially when the factors who at
tend to the selling of the goods are
made of such metal as Steinhardt L.
Kelly, the house that handled the
deal this season and who have helped

known and esteemed in households
that never heard of the Valley before.
1t has been big deal ard it has
been quick deal with the end crown
Ing the work. 1t has gone to sue
cessful completion without hitch,
snsrl or setback and has done more
for the Hood River section than a
whole regiment of press agents and
publicity agents." - Fruitmau's

YEAR ENDS-AND BEGINS

A few hours ago the point Of time
arrived, at "dead of night" that
marks, according to the human cslen-
dsI, the ending of one year and the
beginning of another. On the scale
of lime, which so far as human COM
putation can reach is equivalent to
eternity, a year covers but an inhn-
itesimal space, out in the life OF q
person OF average longevity 1t is
considerable part, and any yesr from
youth to middle age or past may be
very important, or decisive part.
Nature establishes the year, through
the situation and motion Of the earth,
but fixes no point or day for year
TO end or begin-unless 1t be some
moment In spring, and for this pur-
pose no particular one better than an
other could be selected, and what
would come nearest Citing one lati
tude would not be suitable In another.
So the time arbitrarily fixed by man
sreves as we'll as any other.
Now the twelve months rural work
is fully finished; the harvests have
been garnered and the surplus dis
persed and the price received; the
succeeding holidays end, and nature
and man-that is, the country people
In these latitudes, enter upon season
OF comparative rest and recreation, In
preparation for another years pro-
duotive toll. 1t is a suitabl, time for
iecounting, for reverie, foI readjust
ment; for re- e-examina.ion, reconstruo
tion, for reformatory resolutions.
Wisdom should increase with age. al
least up to a point we'll along in life,
hence must of us ought to be wiser
than we we're year ago. Ii we are
not, why? Now is the especial time Of
the year to find out, and to plan and
prepare to gain more wisdom In the
year, to come. For the wise man said
"Wisdom is the principal thing
therefore get wisdom, and with all thy
gettings, get understanding.

his officiating.
Mr.. Maxwell said: 1.-The Brownson
team won the game for I could not
give any other decision under the cir
cumstances. The ball was in the air
when the timers blew the whistle at
the end of time for the half, and there
fore the ball had TO be counted still

the game. eThe hall went into the
