LONG ON ORDERS AND
SHORT ON APPLES

The Payette Vinegar Company g
place of business is a busy one these
days and a peculiar. condition of af-
fairs confronts the management.
With a full car load order for cider
from Idaho Falls and large number
of other smaller orders from all over
the state of Idaho the concern is
kept busy night and day trying to
turn out sufficient of the product to
till the orders. In addition to this
the growers are all so busy with
their fancy apples getting them to
market that they can not find the
time to bring in the cider apples.
However .he Vinegar Company is
making strenuous efforts to fill their
orders and when the growers finish
picking and packing the market ap-
pies they viii haul in their elder
apples.

And the class and the teachers were
surprised at the strides made in her
studies by Harriet Gray. Never before
had the girl shown such liking for her
books. But she was making up for lost
time now, and the race between her
and Beatrice Finch grew closer and
closer each day, and the class watched,
with anxiety. All were hoping that
Harriet would come out victor.
And, strange to say, Beatrice Finch
did not seem to know that anything
unusual was happening. To be sure,
she could not help but notice the
change in Harriet's school work. But
she did not think she was in any way
responsible for the change. And she
was glad that another girl in the class
was making such progress She was
not working for honor alone. She was
eager to learn, to make progress in
school and to be able to graduate as
soon as possible.
One evening, a week before COM
mencement day, Beatrice was hurrying
along the street on her way home from
school. She heard a quick step behind
her, and, looking. back, saw Harriet
Gray. Harriet was about to pass, nod
ding coolly to her, when Beatrice smil-
ingly spoke: "Oh, Harriet, please let
me congratulate you on your rapid ad-
vancement in school. thought would

atrice, for the formers parents were
rich, while the latter was of very
poor family. In the second place, it
would cast discredit on her-Harriet-
to allow the daughter of a poor car
penter (Mr. Finch was such) to sur
pass her on the day of graduation.
Until then she had not minded Be
atrices being at the head of the class,
but now that the fact would be made
pubic-that the class would all be ION
view" so to speak-it would never do
to allow a carpenters daughter to
overshadoW the fondled daughter of a
banker.
One evening after school Harriet
talked it all over with Grace and
Harry Lewis both of the graduating
class. And they agreed with her that
"some one worth while" ought to be
valedictorian. But the pupil having
the best average will have the honors
of the class" sid Harry. IT can't
make up now for lost time. I'm about
fifth in rank, 1 guess. That was my
standing last exam"
"And I just can't catch up with
Beatrice Finch" confessed Grace. 81
haven't the faculty for learning that
she has. Or maybe it's plain stickto-
itiveness. 1 just hate to apply myself
so vigorously"
"I haven't liked to study more than
just enough to pass my exams" said
Harriet. "But I have decided to throw
myself body and mind into my work
and win the race against Beatrice
Finch. 1t will cost me much hardship,
I'll confess. But-some one in our set
must carry off the honors of the class"
"Well, you have my best good
Wishes" said Harry, heartily.
"And mine, too, dear" said Grace.
"Id hate to see Beatrice Finch read
the valedictory. And there's another
matter to consider-her dress! You
know she is so poor that she'll disgrace
us all by wearing some cheap old thing
which will bear the indisputable signs
of being homemade
Thus did the plan develop and grow.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-12

1t had been a race between Harriet
Gray and Beatrice Finch for the hon
ors of commencement day. Beatrice
Finch had always stood first in her
class, and while the other girls and
boys were spending their leisure hours
of evenings and Saturdays in visiting
friends, attending the matinee or go
ing to parties, she had employed her
time poring over her lessons for the
next day or solving some difficult prob
lem which had confused the class dur
ing recitation.
And it had not occurred to any of
the high school class to bestir them
selves till a short time before the clos
ing day of school. Then, suddenly, one
day Harriet Gray decided that she
would love to be valedictorian of the
graduating class. She had played
much of the time during the eight
months of school, and when only four
weeks more remained for preparation
she realized that unless some one of
the class awakened to energetic work
the valedictory would be read by Be-
atrice Finch. And this fact alone was
quite enough to rouse Harriet. In the
first place he-Harriet-moved a grade
higher in the social life than did Be

hope if 1 said anything harsh that you
will forgive me, and that we may be
friends"
But on the evening before the COM
mencement exercises Beatrice was
much surprised when her mother called
her to come down, that Miss Gray was
calling. And when she ran down she
was still more surprised to see that
Harriet carried long box in her arms.
Beatrice, have come to ask great
favor of you," began Harriet. "As a
token of friendship and to assure me
that you have forgiven me for my ugly
conduct toward you, I want you to ac-
cept this commencement frock. Mann
ma had it made for me to wear should
I be voted the valedictorian. See, it
is lovely, and will fit you, for we are
of a size" And Harriet took from the
box an exquisite frock of white chiffon
over soft silk and daintilv trimmed
with tiny pink rosebuds.
"Oh, I-I-could never take it," cried
Beatrice. please, please wear it
yourself 1t is lovely"
Harriet's face fell. 81 have another
frock that will answer just as WELL"
she explained. "And-I had hoped you
would do this for me. II should so
ment perfect"
Beatrice threw her arms about Har-
riets neck. 'I will wear it," she de-
clared enthusiastically. "And from my
heart I rejoice that you have brought
it to me. 1t shall be worn with much
happiness"
"And most deserving1y," too" said
Harriet. "And now l know we are to
be firm friends ever afterward."
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-12

be the valedictoran of the class, but
now I do believe you will outstrip me
and carry off the honors. l shall be
glad of your"
Harriet coolly interrupted with: "Oh,
thanks, awfully. But 1 am not trying
to outrun you, Miss Finch. 1t is the
duty of some one of-of-of high stand
ing to have the honors of the gradual
ing class. 1 am only doing my duty"
Beatrice's face flushed crimson and a
lump came in her throat. She felt the
insult, but was too well bred to resent
it as many other girls would have DONE
She merely said: "I beg your pardon
for having broached the subject. / am
sorry If you do not believe I was sin
cere in what / said just now. AS far
as my station in life is concerned-weil,
l have my life before me, and shall try
to make it honest and deserving. And
1 hope never to envy those who think
themselves above me, though I may
hold an opinion which differs from
theirs. l really have not been trying
for the valedictory. 1t seemed newt
able that it would fall to me until you
began to catch up with me. Now l
hope I have made myself clear, and
that there will be no hard feelings be-
tween u.s."
AS Sne nnlSned speaking Beatrice
smiled and bowed to Harriet, then
passed on down the street. She had
been deeply wounded, but was too sem
sible a girl to let the matter weigh
heavily on her heart. Indeed, she did
not allude to her conversation with
Harriet when she talked with her pa
rents that evening at supper.
The same evening found Harriet sit
ting in her room alone, and a little
pucker between the eyes pronounced
the fact that she was i'll pleased with
something or somebody. And the
somebody was none other than herself.
After parting from Beatrice on the
street that evening her conscience had
kept calling out to her in spite of her
self. "Why should you have insulted

that poor honest, deserving young
classmate?" it kept asking. And Har-
riet could not answer.
At last, after having sat In her rooom
for an hour pondering she broke out
with: Harriet Gray, you're a snob!
Why should you be so stuck up over
your fathers position and wealth? 1t
is not yours You did not make a cent
of the money you spend. Your father
made it with his own perseverance and
good judgment. If he had been like
poor Mr.. Finch, what would you have
been? Only the daughter of poor
carpenter and you could not have
been placed in the same rank with
Beatrice Finch, for she is an unusual
girl. First she Is lady; second, she
is above the petty things which you
Harriet-allow to govern your life.
Yes, you have been a snob, an over
bearing egotistl
"How that poor girls face flushed
when so vulgarly hinted at the differ
ence between her station and mine.
And how mean felt, too. Butt shall
make amends to her if she will allow
me to do So"
The last week of school rolled by,
and two days before the great COM
mencement day Beatrice Finch was
surprised one evening TO nave call
from Harriet. Beatrice had gone to
her own room to put the finishing
touches on her commencement frock-
a simple, white lawn made by her
mother, but which was left for Bea-
trice to trim with some bows of white
ribbon. The valedictory had been be-
slowed upon her, for, in spite of Har-
riets endeavor to get it, she had
dropped second to Beatrice in the'final
examination. And when the teacher
had announced that Miss Beatrice
Finch was appointed valedictorian
Harriet had gone to her and offered
her congratulations. "I am so sorry
she added, that made such fool
of myself two weeks ago when you
spoke to me on the street. haven't
the face to ask your forgiveness. All I
can do is to say 1 am sorry" And
Beatrice had grasped her hands, say
ing in low. earnest tones: "And I was
sorry at the time. I forgive you, and

NEW CONTESTS


T was a great satisfaction to me to
know that so many of you had
u such sensible ideas about the July
Fourth celebration, and I hope that
every one of you will find that there
are many splendid games and enter
tainments which will make the day
one for you always to remember, with
out the danger of some terrible injury
which would make IL doubly memoir
able.
Last week 1 firmly believed that I
could tell you all about the summer
vacation prizes today, but here I am
still waiting for the latest information
from the business office. I really be-
leve that if you would all write me a
letter asking for those beach trips
again and telling me Just what feature
of the trips last year you enjoyed
most that I might hurry up the busi-
ness office. 1t is the business office
which gives us most of the good times
we have, although it usually requires
a good deal of persuasion from my
department before it is given to US.
1 believe that scheme is a good one,
see that they are printed, and then
will see that the business manager of
the paper sees them, and if anything
could add to my efforts and win these
trips for us this summer 1 am sure 1t
would be such page. Be sure and
send plenty of letters, so that we will
have one whole page about beach trips,
hot NUb Xub a
was the best fun and what particular
day seemed to be the incest of all the
trips we had. Those letters will be a
great help, I can assure you.
Now 1 wonder how you are going to
like this historical character contest.
1t is only to run for a short time, so
all the boys and girls who want to win
prizes in it must hurry and write their
letters. Meantime 1 will consider sug-
gestions for a new contest. Make your
letters on this subject on separate
sheets of paper, signed with your full
junior signature and make the letters
as short as you can-explaining your
suggestion clearly. 1 shall save these
until l receive several and then run
them under head, suggestions for
NEW OOnleSlSs
You can all think of something that
would be interesting, and-Who knows
. perhaps some of you may think of
something far more interesting than
any work we have had as yet.
The Fourth of July topic, both in
the writing and drawing contests,
ought to call forth good work. Per-
haps you will draw picture of some
old soldier, standing with barred head,
for the flag salute; perhaps the pic
ture may be one of group of little
tots with paper soldier caps and toy
drums, having their parade" or it
may be some other incident in which
patriotism, loyalty or at least interest
in the day is manifested. Then in the
letters you may tell what the present
status of America would be if those
brave men had not signed the Declar-
alton of Independence, or you may tell
of some of the blessings which have
followed upon that day when the bells
rang forth the glad news of indepen-
dence to the poor, oppressed people of
the colonies.
l shall look for many splendid patri-
otic letters on this subject, and L know
that my boys and girls will not dis
appoint their loving
