president of the Oregon State Board of
A Christmas Eve Rush.

Mr.. Josiah Jordon came home at 2
G. M, which, of course made him
late for breakfast the next morning,
and Mrs Jordon knew that her better
half was out of sorts, therefore the
storm broke out before the first cup
of coffee was poured.
81 would like to know what bloom
in idiot has crammed and jammed
the bathroom cupboard full of worth
less boxes, bottles and other useless
articles - fretted the head of the
household as he strutted around the
room like a Tom turkey on dress
parade. Here | wish to shave in
hurry, and not one single thing can |
find owing to the old rubbish with
which the cupboard is packed to its
full capacity.
"Well, my dear, there being but the
two of us in the family" was Mrs.
Jordon's smiling answer, ''the
'bIoomin' idiot should be easily
located. do not keep any of my
toilet articles in the cupboard; all of
my creams and so on are kept on my
dressing table. noticed several
days ago how full the cupboard was
getting but supposed the boxes and
bottles were yours.
Well they are not mine,' growled
the two-legged he-thing of the house,
while he snapped at his oatmeal as if
it were an enemy. What would |
want with a lot of bottles and boxes
and toilet fixings, Ia like to know?"
Those things in the cupboard are not
mine, nor never have been. he snap
ped
every well, my DEAR" smiled Mrs.
Jordon, seeing that her loving sprouse
was not to be so easily pacified.
"Some of our visitors must have left
them there, but I'll take them out to-
morrow"
She smiled again the next morning
as she began to remove the rubbish and
read the masculine names and the
nature on the tables but she said moth
ing, nor did Josiah mention the matter
again for several days. On Christmas
Eve he arrived home little late and
commenced to dress himself for
Christmas Eve card party. He dash
ed in upon Mrs. Jordon where she was
peacefully attiring herself in her latest

Where under the blue canopy of
heaven are my creams, wich-hazles,
talcum powders and shaving soaps?"
he shouted loud enough to be heard a
block away. ''Here we are thirty
minutes late already, and my face
looking like the top of shoe brush,
and not a thing in the house to shave
with unless its the meat ak. What's
become of my things in the bathroom
cupboard?"
''Why my dear, sighted Mrs. Jor-
don, with the same old smile and the
tone Of one whose available stock of
patience was running as low as the
waters of Hood River. "You said
those things didn't belong to you and
| removed them as you suggested. !
did not throw them out; you will find
them al in box behind the bathroom
door" "
Its a wonder you didn't pitch
them into the alley" he growled, but
moderately modified. 81 should think
that you'd use title bit of common
sense once in great while, so as not
to let your brains get too rusty. You
ought to have known that since I've
been getting shaved down town, I'd
forgotten all about that and whenever
wanted to shave at home | would
need them. Jerusalem! what queer
things women are anyway.

APPLE GIFT CAR
Is SHIPPED EAST

The car of apples which was made
up here by Robinson, de Reding &
Crocker left the latter part of the
week for Chicago, and the separate
boxes will be expressed from there by
the Gibson Fruit Co. to their destina-
tions. The idea was conceived by this
firm to make up carload of apples
to 60 by fast freight to Chicago.
Those wishing to send boxes of apples
to their friends could save the heavy
express charges from here, besides
having the apples arrive in better con-
dition near their destination than If
they went in the ordinary express car
and be subject to severe handling and
all kinds of temperature. The firm
met with good response here, but it
took good deal of detail work to get
together six hundred boxes to fill the
car. In order to complete the list it
was necessary to take orders in Port
land, and a good many were secured at
the apple show in that city, where the
firm had an exhibit.
The car contains an assortment of
all kinds quarter, half, and full
boxes, few prunes. but mostly full
boxes of apples. There was one order
of II boxes from one person, but the
bulk have been one, two and three box
orders.
1t is expected the car will arrive in
Chicago in ten days to two weeks, so
that all of the boxes will reach their
destination before Christmas. These
boxs have all been specially packed by
Robinson, de Reding & Crocker, and
will prove very acceptable gifts to
eastern friends, besides being the most
effective advertising Of Hood River.
Robinson, de Reding & Crocker are
also putting up small boxes Of five to
six pounds, packing them to order with
either one or several kinds of apples.
These can be sent to almost any Of the
eastern cities for 35 cents, and they
are having big sale of them. They
have five places in Portland where
orders are being taken for them, and
they are being rushed to NIL the
orders.

The compass was invented by the
Chinese nearly 1000 years ago. but II
was not introduced into Europe until
about the middle Of the twelfth CEN
tury. At that time Marco Polo. who
had spent many years in Asia. return
ed to Italy. bringing the. little guide
with him. At first the compass was
used only on land. but later its great.
est nse was 10 the mariners. The es-
sentiai part OF the compass is a
magnetized needle balanced freely on
fine point fastened to the center OF
q circular card marked N. 8. E. w. to
show the cardinal points. The mari,
ner's compass is inclosed in brass
box which Is suspended by gimbals, SO
that the box may remain horizontal
The needle Of compass always points
north. although the compass may be in
any horizontal position. The reason
for this is that the earth is a great
magnet. having its poles north and
south. and attracts all smaller mag.
nets The earth's north magnetic pole
is many miles from the real north
pole.

The Lead Pencil.

Few people are aware Of the diff
culties that were surmounted In the
manufacture of the common lead pen
Gil. In the first place. the graphite of
which 1t is made is rarely found suf3-
GENTLY homogeneous to allow pencil
lead to be cut from 1t. SO 1t Is always
ground to powder and then pressed
into blocks. The great difficulty was
to press the blocks until the graphite
was hard enough to use. and for many
years every effort In this direction was
defeated by the crumbly nature Of the
material. Finally device was en-
ployed that exhausted the air. after
which the blocks were again pressed.
and when this was done the material
was found to be as hard as when taken
from the quarry. But thousands upon
thousands OF dollars were spent in ex-
periments before the result was reach
ed.

apple SHOW DIRECTORS
CETLI1TLESATIS-
Faction
CONTINUED from Page One)

CONTINUED from Page One)
among the apple show directors was
E. F. c. Van Dissell. He told the
oft repeated history of the apple
show and the long train of diff
culties with which the management
has been confronted in trying to
keep harmony among the exhibitors.
He begged Of the committee repre-
senting Wenatchee to discuss the
matter in friendly manner and try
to understand the position in which
the directors are placed.
| Next followed F. E. Goodall, who
spoke especially of the fact that the
directors feel grieved that they have
been accused of bias in the treatment
accorded to Wenatchee. He claimed
that they have no other motive or
interest than to be fair to all dis
! tricts.
Mr.. Goodall told at some length
of the campaign he waged in the east
last winter for the sale of Arcadia
lands; of the exhibit which he made
| in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and other cities. He stated that his
exhibit was made up of rs per cent
of Wenatchee apples, although he
had fruit from 81 districts. After
his supply was depleted, he was COM
PEELED to buy more from the COM
mission men of New York. He found
that about all the Washington grown
apples available in New York city
were from Wenatchee. So he talked
Wenatchee more than any other dis
trict although he was selling land
north of Spokane.
w. N. Day said: We're here to-
day for just one purpose, and that
is to explain our position in order to
maintain the position Of friendli-
ness which has always characterized
our relations with Wenatchee. There
has been no frame up. We don't do
business that way"
Rem Rice, secretary of the apple
show called attention to the injustice
of insinuating that the directors IA
vor one district more than another.
There are Al districts represented
at the show. 1t is folly to suppose
that we would favor one of these un-
less the one nearest home. 1t is no
benefit to Spokane to give the prize
Ito Oregon. We come here as we will
1 60 to any other district to show that
everybody will get square deal"
DIR. King then invited various
members of the committee and of the
commercial club to express their opin-
ions. Ira Edwards was the first. He
called attention to the fact that the
club can do nothing without the CO.
operation of the growers. Some 40
or SO of them called to ask the COM
mittee to stand pat"
Dave Gellatly was pessimistic. He
saw no chance for a compromise 80
long as the Wenatchee growers say
they will not exhibit with handicap
placed on the Winesap while the sdi-
rectors at the same time refuse to
trectify. the Discrimination. 80 &

difIculty is to 90 back to the same
standard a. prevailed at the first
show. Let each variety stand on its
own merit. Let the best apple win
on the basis Of perfection, no matter
what the variety may be-"
p. P. Holcomb, president OF the
Wenatchee Fruit Growers association
told of his presence at the meeting
Of exhibitors held during the show
last year. AS he looks back upon
that meeting now, he is of the opin-
ion that it was manipulated by typi-
cal political methods and that the
mass of the exhibitors present did
not realize that the action being
taken was establishing their chances
to win or lose prizes for the future.
He was in favor, however, of MAX
ing an exhibit this year even with
the handicap.
President VAN Dissel again arose
to sa ythat the conference had been
liberal education to him and that
he would take home the remarks of
Clark and Gellatly and have them
discussed in the next meeting of the
directors. He thought that the plan
of giving universal rating of ten
to all varieties would relieve them
of all the kicks which are now COM
mon from all districts. Goodall and
Rice were Of the same opinion.
TIL eapple show secretary said: II
believe you have given us the right
solution. Now can't we get together
for this year. We are still holding
your space, both at Spokane and Chi
cago. And l won't cancel it except
by your order. If you should have
the best car of Winesaps, even
though it should not win the sweep
stake, that car will go to Chicago"
M. j. costello, of the Great North
ern, made happy speech filled with
humor.
G. G. France was emphatic in his
refusal to take a car of Winesaps to
the show under the present rating.
He told of receiving 81 per box more
for his winesaps last year in Chicago
than for his extra fancy three tier
Yellow Newtown Pippins. He could
therefore see no justice in giving the
Pippin a rating of ten while the
Winesap is handicapped two points.
1t was evident that nothing further
could be gained by discussion and
the meeting was summarily closed.
Much informal discussion was in
dulged after the adjournment. P. D.
Tull remarked to a reporter of the
World that he does not think it
would be just to put all varieties
upon the same basis, but that the
directors will probably put this up
to the growers and let them decide it.

Applying the above, Mr.. Hill
Hill writes:
Many people believe that the day
Of good roads is long in the future
This is because they do not realize
that under proper management a
highway system can be built just as
quickly. just as effectively, as rail-
road. The construction crew of the
Great Northern railroad left Spokane
on the nineteenth day of July and l
came into Seattle on a train over that

lowing January.

impression that their honesty or pa
triotism had been questioned. Per-
sOnal character has never been dis
cussed. 1t is simply matter of de-
Tending the Winesap apple. 1t is
personal pride here to give the Wine
sap justice.
There is not a single fruit grow
ing district in the world" declared
the president of the commercial
club, but knows the Winesap is SUI
perior to all other varieties in point
of texture, color keeping quality and
all around commercial value. This
Is not a matter of winning the grand
prize, much as we would like to have
it. We simply feel that your posi-
ton is autocratic. If you thought
the old rules were antequated, it was
up to you to establish justice. Buy
ers come here from all over the world
to get our fruit and they say that we
are right in the position taken. Yet
we believe you are sincerely trying
to do the right thing. We will, there
fore, defer final answer until the
whole thing can again be presented
to the general meeting of the club
to be held On September r."
Mayor Gellatly recognized in the
situation very precarious dilemma.
1t will be an injury to this valley
not to be represented at the show,
and he earnestly pleaded for some
sort of a compromise offer. A. l..
Hill emphasized the same sentiment.
r. P. Wright, of Chelan, said that
he is a Rome Beauty man and felt
that his pet does not receive the pro-
per training. He will exhibit just the
same. He called attention to the
fact that Mike Koran did not win
the sweepstake with Winesaps but
with a mixed car of five varieties. :.
Mike Koran stated that the diff
Guilty lies in the opposition, no of the
directors, but Of the other districts.
He was confident that not a first
class car of apples was exhibited at
the show last year. The winning
car was over ripe and had to be sold
on the ground. 1t was dead and
could not stand shipping. Wenat-
chez can show a car of apples that
will glisten with vitality. The other
districts know it and will do all in
their power to put trouble in the way
of the directors adjusting the matter.
President Van Dissell remarked
that Wenatchee and North Yakima
have more exhibitors than all other
districts combined. They could rec
tify everything by getting together
at the next meeting at the show.
Mayor Gellatly replied that poll
tics should not decide the rating, but
merit. There is way to determine
perfection and the duty Of the d.
rectors is to find out the right stand
ard regardless of what any district
may think or do.
w. T. Clark then made a speech
which was the keynote of the whole
discussion. He called attention to
the fact that the first show at Spo-
kane was conducted on merit alone.
"Shepperd of Hood River knew that
his district could not compete on
that basis. Hood River therefore re-
fused to exhibit. shepperd insisted
on the Pathological rules, which are
|25 years behind the times. That
marked the introduction Of politics.

the rules are ltqade by political in
