Wisacky, March 13.-We are hav-
ing a stormy, clustering night, with
every appearance of much rain. We
are needing the rain for oats, gar
den, and that the farmers can apply
soda to the oat crop which has i'm
proved greatly in the last three
weeks. The farm hands in this sec
tion have been thoroughly prepar I'd
for planting and quantities of ferti =
lizers will be used Special atten
ton will be given to corn. Some Of
our farmers are now planting. Our
farmers are very much interested in
the hog crop, and there Is a fine pros
pect for an abundant supply of meat
for another year. In fact, our farm
ers are devoting much more atten-
tion to the raising of grain, forage
stock, poultry. ETC.. which goes to
prove that they are awakened TO our
best interest.
Mr.. X. NJ. Cooper will soon ship
his beef cattle GO2) to the northern
markets for sale. They have gained
IT'S pounds each on an average.
Though he will not realize as much
as he hoped to have done, owing to
a drop in the beef market, the re-
turns In domestic fertilizers will give
him a handsome return. He is now
having the manure hauled with n
spreader, and will have enough to
cover 40 or 45 acres Of land heavily.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many CatharticS Tend to Cause Injury to
the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than con
stipation. They in no way effect a
cure and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in il is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it SHALL not cost the user
cent if it does not give entire satisfac-
tion and completely remedy constipa-
tion. This preparation is called Rexall
Orderlies. These are prompt, soothing
and most effective in action. They are
made of recent chemical discovery.
Their principal ingredient is odorless,
tasteless and colorIess. Combined with
other we'll known ingredients, long
established for their usefulness in the
treatment of constipation, it forms a
tablet which is eaten just like candy.
They may be taken at any time, either
day or night, without fear of their
causing any inconvenience whatever.
They do not gripe, purge nor cause
nausea. They act without causing any
pain or excessive looseness of the
bowels. The are ideal for children,
weak, delicate persons and aged people
as well as for the most hearty person.
They come in two size packages, IL
tablets 10 cents, 36 tablets 25 cents.
Remember you can obta them only at
our store, The Rexall Store. G. A.

@. A. c. EXPERTS FOR
LOCAL INSTITUTES

Arrangements have been completed
for a series of three horticultural insti-
tutes to be held in Hood River valley
on next Monday, Tuesday and.Wednes-
day, March 6, 7, and 8, when leading
experts from the Oregon Agricultural
College will be present to discuss with
local orchardists the various problems
Of fruit growing which have been met
with. The meetings will be held in
Pine Grove, Parkdale and Park Grange
halls.
The institute sessions will be of an
informal nature and similar to the
meetings which were held in the valley
last spring. The experts from the
college will speak on the various Hood
River problems which have come to
their notice and they will answer ques-
tions which may be asked them by the
orchardists present The Corvallis men
will bring along examples of the vari-
Gus tree pests and will explain the
methods of Kidding the orchards of
them. The Hood River orchardists will
be expected to bring along any things
they have found in their orchards which
they are unable to understand.
Dean A. B. Cordley will head the
party and he will be accompanied by
Profs. G. |. Lewis and c. F. Jackson.
The three men are each at the head of
different lines of horticultural study.
1t is probable that Prof. Lawrence, the
Hood River Fellowship expert, will be
here in time to attend the meeting.
Monday the meeting will be held at
Pine Grove beginning at nine o'clock
and one in the afternoon. The ladies'
of the Grange will serve hot chicken
pie dinner with coffee for 35 cents.
Tuesday the sessions will be held at the
same hours in McIsaac's Hall at Park
dale. The Wednesday meeting at Park
Grange Hall will begin at ten in the
morning and basket dinner will be
held at noon.

hostelry at the busy cross roads before
many months. The orchardsts in that
vicinity are backing the scheme and
one of the primary objects is to provide
place in which to house and feed the

seasons. The building will probably
be erected on the site of the Little

SMOKING MERRIHUANA.
II Fills Mexican Poems With Some.
thinq Like Delirium Tremens.


thing Like DeIirium Tremsns.
Water bugs and worms are among
the tidbits In which the Mexican peon
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top of fresh water
ponds, drying them and then eating
them with as much zest as an AmerI-
can boy eats peanuts. AS near as the
peon can explain 1t, their flavor Is
something on the order Of the chest
nut, but as no white man has ever
tried eating water bugs, or If he has
doesn't dare confess 1t, the exact taste
of these Mexican morsels can't be de-
scribed very accurately.
The poems dote, too, on the nice,
fat pulque worm. This insect is about
two inches long and half an inch thick.
They fry the dainty In grease and
pack IT In brown paper packages of
a dozen worms, which fetch cents
a paper. An Industrious pulque worm
collector makes good living.
The worm inhabits the maguey or
pulque plant, from which is distilled
the aqua miel, or honey water, of
Mexico. After twenty-four hours fer
mentation 1t is very intoxicating. Aft
er the Mexican has primed himself
with several drinks Of aqua miel and
has smoked half b dozen cigarettes
made Of the dried leaf Of the merri-
huana weed and brown paper he Is
ready for any crime of violence.
This combination Of stimulant and
narcotic has the effect of deluding the
victim into thinking that his enemy
and every peon has a choice collection
OF enemies-is a pygmy in stature. At
the same time 1t gives him an idea
that he is tremendously strong and
wonderfully brave. So he sallies forth
to make mincemeat Of his enemy or
enemies and, as rule, lands In the
local calaboose.
One Of the peculiar effects of mer-
rihuana smoking is to distort the size
Of all animals, making them Of enor-
nous size and horrible shape. The
smoker is filled with a horrible fear,
something like the horrors brought on
by delirium tremens. A kitten or a
puppy to his distorted vision appears
as some terrible creature. A common
sight in Mexico is to see a swarthy
"greaser," armed to the teeth, flee in
terror from a small dog, while he
would fearlessly attack any man with
his knife or his machete.

Eczema Cure A Beauty Wash

Although d. D. D. Prescription has
been recognized for years as the one
remedy for Eczema, Psoriasis, and all
other forms of skin diseases, 1t is now
known that there is no other wash,
even those used by the beauty special
list, that can compare with this mild
liquid for cleansing the skin of pim-
pies, blackheads, rash, and all similar
skin affections.
Por this reason alone, bottle of
d. d. D. should be kept on hand in
every household. A trial 25c bottle
will show you the merits of this great
remedy as complexion wash.

child.

Ball Team Ran Politics.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hayner and
son, of Portland. spent last week here
the guests of her sister, Mrs. A. l..
Parker. Mr.. Hayner enjoyed calling
on many of his old friends who are
numbered among the Hood River
pioneers. He came here in 1880 and
was employed on the railroad for many
years, He homesteaded the farm
known as the J. |. Miller place in the
Oak Grove section and sold the 100
acres for 81, 900 in 1894. Ten acres of
the place was sold last year for $40, 900.
Mr.. Hayuer was member of the
first Hood River ball team and he re-
calls many Incidents of the old days.
He says he knew every resident of
the valley at onetime. There were but
80 voters cast in the first election held
after he came here. 1t was to elect
Justice OF the Peace and the ball team
controlled the election, putting in the
man who was pledged not to interfere
with Sunday ball.

at all the river towns. Large crowds
were assembled at Natchez, Vicksburg,
Helena and other large places.
Between Cairo and st. Louis the
Natchez afterward claimed to have lost
seven hours and one minute on account
of fog and broken machinery. The
Robert E. Lee, however, was not de-

three minutes ahead Of the previous
record established by her competitor.
Fifty thousand people from the house
