Milton. April S.-Plans which
were started for the celebration OF
Milton's annual strawberry day, at "A
meeting Of the Progressive associa-
ton held in Alliance hall on Monday
night, are being pushed rapidly and
il is thought that by the next meet
ing of the association all of the pre-
liminary work will have been COM
pleted. On this committee are DR.. ].
Cannane William Nichols, DR.. c. w.
Thomas. Mrs. 5. 5. Shields. Mrs. J.
Cannane and Mrs. F. A. Skies.
It is proposed this year to celebrate
on a larger and more extensive scale
than ever before this gala event in
Milton's history. Beside an excellent
literary and musical program which
is to be one of the features of the
day. a big horse show will form
part Of the festivities. This was last
year an important part of the pro-
gram. but arrangements are being
made to make It much better than
on last season, horses being entered
from all the towns in Umatilla coun-
ty and many across the line in
Washington
Nichols grove has been secured. as
usual. for the place Of the gathering,
which insures for those attending a
cool and delightful resort in which
TO enjoy the days work. Beside the
program part of the events and fes-
tivities, the big strawberry dinner will
form an attractive feature and
drawing card for many in outside
communities. Visitors will thus be-
enabled to test the quality and guam
tity of the products from this part of
the Walla Walla valley, in manner
which they could not do at any other
time
From an advertising standpoint,
strawberry day in Milton is regarded
as probably the most valuable Of all
means At this season of the year
the country looks its best. and pre-
sents to the newcomer not only an
excellent appearance but gives him
an opportunity to take material proof
Of the country's resources.
The exact date Of the strawberry
festivities has not as yet been set,
but it is thought it will be some time
in the early part of June.

CHINESE REGENT Rejects
OLD SUPERSTITION

Hong Kong-On the occasion Of
eclipses Of the sun or moon It has
for centuries been customary In Chi
ma for everybody, down to the mean
est subject, to let off firecrackers and
cause gongs to be beaten for the pur-
pose Of frightening off the monster
which is supposed to be swallowing
the luminary, and for every manda
rim holding office to burn candles
and incense and PROSTATE himself be-
fore the darkening orb.
This superstitious custom Is no
longer to be officially recognized. A
Pekln letter states that the astrOnom
ical board presented memorial to
the prince regent the other day re-
porting a forthcoming eclipse Of the
moon and recommending the per.
formance Of the usual ceremonies.
To the horror Of the conservative por-
ton Of the court, Prince Chun replied
that all this was mere superstition.
which must now be abolished forever.
The news that this enlightened view
is held by the prince regent is said
10 have filled the hearts Of all l!ber-
al-minded Chinese with qualification.
