Oh cherries and orchards this time, So will devote little space to straw berries then bid yoou good=day un- u another time However l might say that this is only a few mics dis tant, probably 1 , or 20 miles, from the far-famed Hood River valley, where so much fine fruit is grown and am told here that this section is little behind that, fl any, in tie fruit line.
 Strawberries are grown very abun- dantly and profitably here on the irrigated lands. Let ne explain here The valley and creek or river bot tom lands are called the irrrigat- ei lands, because they are easily irrigated from the streams flowing through or near them. The hill side ard mountain lands are called the dry lands, because they are not ir- rlgated, and are farmed by sys- wfeat-hay, barley, some alfalfa, or ehards and potatoes forms the prin- elpal products Of the dry-land farm lnng. There are number of var ieties of strawberr es grown, chief Y among which is the Gold Dollar, Glarke's Seeding, Mt Hood and other varieties, which l can not now call to mind
 Berries yield under fair cultiva- tion and irrigation 150 to 200 crates per acre and sometimes even above The price varies during the early season from $3.o0 to S co, down 10 S125 to $2 25 per crate during the main season. Tie price is now $ 50 to s. 60 per crate The picking s as OF begun here about the first week n June and $ yet in progress. Some. times extending on up into July. A few miles distant here up the creek makes great variation in the ripening of berries tand cherries al sol. The lower attitudes ripen fir t.

The Christmas Spirit.

In spite of all you may say against
Christmas as it is observed, it has
saved more of the original spirit OF
the festival than any other public
celebration.
Thanksgiving day may have been
turned from prayerful devotion into
overeating, July from day of ma
tional consciousness into coarse dis
turbance of the peace. But Christ
mas still sparkles with the mirth OF
children, the worshipful romance OF
carol music and spirit of universal
friendliness.
Christmas draws the big crowds
of the year to the churches. Not
merely are elaborate and stately an
thems performed, but the carol music
now so popular is a remarkable sur
vival of old folk songs. These
spring from the life of the people
and are sung in our churches today
as they were sung in castle and cot
tage in Europe centuries ago. Some
thing about these songs, their quaint
tang. their picturesque, rhythmical,
and harmonic originality, has made
them live through the ages, and still
sets the heart to dancing.
In the homes, there is ever new
fascination for the child heart. The
rush of the kid,ets at early dawn, to
see what Santa has left in the stock
ing, is just as impetuous as ever.
The old folks must be getting pretty
crusty and grabbed If they don't feel
some reflection from this child mer-
riment.
Christmas greens and the candle
lighted tree MAKE a fairyland for
the small folks. For older people
they bring the charm of nature into
the homes. and suggest the eternal
newness and hope of the Christmas
story.
The embattled store clerks, post
office and express employees are the
on side of 1t ali. Yet a wealth of
sensible and unselfish giving Is done.
A great many people receive sub
stantial offerings that bring comfort
and sympathy to meager homes.

Career of a Women Superintendent.

Career of a Women Superintendent.
Some one says that the two most
notable things About Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young of Chicago, are that although
woman, she had $4,000 salary
as superintendent of schools, and
that every gown of hers has a pocket.
Relative to the latter point most wo-
men will say that 1t takes force of
character thus to defy the unanimous
and militant convictions of the dress
makers.
When the Chicago school board
practically forced Mrs. Young out a
few days ago, they failed to consider
that personality that so combines
both forceful and gracious qualities,
wins a great many adherents. To
the politicians it is wasting good mo-
ney to give any woman a $4,000
job. But the politicians view is
getting obsolete, as the emphatic
protest against Mrs. Young's retire
ment suggests.
When Mrs. Young began teaching
in the Chicago schools in 1862, about
all the important positions she has
occupied since that time were for
hidden to women. AS a member of
the National Education Association,
she had to sit in the gallery and see
the men do the business. 1t was
quite a turnover when she rose to
the presidents chair of the same or
ganization, and preserved order
among the men. Hers has been a
life of struggle and of overcoming
difficulties that encompass any wo-
man who cuts a path into fields new
to her sex.
Many instances of quick penetrat-
ing intuition can be found in Mrs.
Young's work, all suggesting that
women superintendents may not be
so rare in future. While mechani-
cal ventilating systems are fashiona-
bic now, Mrs. Young believes that
open windows several times a day
are better than any patent scheme.
1t was remarked, after the school
principals had been more or less
late at their first meeting, that some
thing happened as result of which

Saturday was the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Samuel
Jordan Kirkwocd, the famous war
governor of Iowa and the most dis
tinguished citizen who ever called
Iowa City his home. The event has
added interest, both there and over
the state, for the reason that Mrs.
Kirkwood, widow of the governor,
still resides in the old family home
stead on Kirkwood avenue, enjoying
the love and esteem of host of
friends. Mrs. Kirkwood herself is
nearing her hundredth birthday,
and although she still enjoys excel
lent health and remains active in all
her mental and physical faculties, she
naturally lives retired life, in the
quiet, old-fashioned section of Iowa
City where are clustered the homa-
steads of Governor Kirkwood, Gov
ernor Lucas and others of the noted
pioneers of the state. Mrs. Kirk
wood was the recipient of many kind
messages coming from over the
state.
