UNDERWOOD PEACHES
HAVE BEEN GOOD

Despite the fact that most of the
trees are young the peach growers OF
the Underwood and Hood sections of
Skamania county, Washington, have
received excellent returns from their
orchards this season. The principal
| shippers of this district have been j.
L. Wendorff, W. Wendorff, Kelley &
Dubois, K. Haselton, A. j. Haines,
Beebe & Love and Morrow & Packard.
The older orchards have on an aver
age yielded 5 or 6 boxes per tree.
Growers were receiving last week IS
cents per box for the peaches. "Three
year old orchards have been yielding a
box per tree of excellent fruit" 4" said
l.. G. Westfall, who was in Hood River

aged the peach crop in the section.

has prevented them from ripening with
the usual excellent. flavor and good
color.

been developing rapidly this summer.

many new homes have been erected.

pull the wool over the eyes OF
Saint Peter.
The Pessimist: I cannot re-
member having met many. but it
is best to keep away from such
people, therefor I will be brief.
One of his chief characteristics is
growing at everything anyone
does. If a man really does anything
great, or deserving of mention, he
is the first to try to belittle and
depeciate it. No matter what you
may do, he can always find some
ulterior motive for the deed, be it
giving away a library or taking the
children of the neighborhood out
for a ride in the new autombile.
He likes to borrow trouble and it
gives him great pleasure to make
trouble for others. If he hears of
a famine or earthquake in some
far off quater of the globe. he inn
mediately starts his whine about
the wickedness of the present gen
Grafton and the just retribution
that is being called down upon the
people and, at the same time will
attempt to impress upon you the
hardships that he and a lot more
like him are suffering because they
were unfortunate enough to inhab-
it the same earth as the guilty ones
who are being punished for their
sins. Give a beggar a piece of
money, and if a pessimist sees you
he is more than likely to ask the
beggar to let him see the coin, and
the chances are about ten to one
that he will test it to see if it is
good and scrutinize it closely in
the hope that it may be counter
felt. Perhaps he deserves this ar
raignment, and perhaps he de-
serves nothing but pity. for it is
more than probable that he was
born that way and cannot help it.
Anyway we will leave him rest in
the peace that comes to all some
time.
Thus we have the few who are
all that is undesirable. l have not
time nor the ability to describe the
desirable. The best thing we can
do is to look for their good side,
and when they most provoke you
leave them alone.

The Discharged Man
By 2870

Between the man who leaves pris-
on with his final release papers and
the paroled man there is this differ
ence: the former has to find his own
job; and it is he with whom this ar
ticle has to deal. While every dis
charged man is, few weeks before
his release, granted an interview
with the parole agent, with the os-
tensible purpose of securing job,
the latter is not bound to do SO, but
in many instances simply refers the
applicant to the Associated Charit-
les in the particular city to which
he goes. There are many men who
hate to apply to any Associated
Charities for job and with good
reason. In the first place the en-
ployment offered at these places is
in many cases unsuitable, especially
for an educated man, the wages are
small and life history of the appli-
cant is required for fling purposes.
Every man leaving prison debates
in his own mind whether it is better
to return to the city where he is
known or to locate in some strange
town. There is just this to say
about it; if man has it in him to
make good he will do SO in either
place. But the man who goes where
nothing is known of his past has a
slight balance in his favor.
A gradual change has taken place
in the public attitude toward the ex-
convict. Where ten years ago all
hands were turned against him, he
is generally accorded fair treatment
at present. This is not to say that
there is any scarcity of those who
are only too willing to knock and
advertise the mans past, but they
have one-idea brain where there is
not room for one idea to pass the
other.

here with twenty-five dollars as the

The Commercial Value
Of Common-sense.
By E. j. I

Betwlxt you and me and the gate-
post, this thing called common-sense
is an asset of very high importance.
1t is OF that class Of trade relation
ship that points an exception from
the general plan and is common on
ly in SO far as it expresses an an
tithesis and hence forms distinct
departure from the common,
1t is of the rarer things. but is
found, and when found, is rated
at Its true value.
The individual who may be in
possession of common sense. may al
the same time be one of those whom
we call harmless lunatics. On the
other hand he may hold a more or
less responsible position and be full
ly aware of the fact, but yet may be
largely nil" in the blessedness. or
cussedness, of that plain, old fash
ioned possession. of common sense
with emphasis on the common.
In a commercial way this form of
capacity weighing, though more or
less painfully analytic, is important,
and as a result the modern, up-to-
date idea or act of specializing is
merely an arrived at determination
o f acumen and bility
of this or that individual along
particular line.
Progress demands or necessitates
change, and an innovation of today
may be, and largly is proven obse-
lete within the short space of half
decade.
Who that is aware of the wonder
full impetus given practically all
lines of Cat least commerclaD activ-
lty through specializing in advertise
ments, follow-up order in business
correspondence, cooperative reality,
the mail order branch toward stim-
ulating trade, the picture post card,
and the Nickleodeon, could possi-
bly, doubt the value of sense both
the mental and the coin Of the realm?
This application is true not on
ly as regards situations relative tc
barter and exchange of the genera
commodities, but is also true,
though less appreciated. in relation
to the Individual, civically and as
employee.
In this respect let us stop a NOM
ent to reflect on what the result of
an application of common sense has
proven, and if we consider the facts
in broad, general term, there is but
one conclusion to be arrived at, and
for which the recoghation Of an ec-
onomic factor is conceded to be of
high, practical worth. and that is ex-
pressed in the one simple but pow
erful word Reciprocity.
Common-sense. as viewed by the
majority of persons is, to my way of
thinking. just another form of in
terpreting p T. Barnum's oft re-
peated quotation.
