and the man rs well as the boy least
amenable needs the most Of the dis
cipline. Most boys at some time in
their lives, while building aircastles,
imagine how when grown they will do
as they please, without having to
oblige themselves to the rules of
school or discipline of home.
But nobody ever does as he pleases
without very serious consequences to
himself and others. Life Is not laid
out on a do as you please basis, other.
wise ages would not have been spent
in devising the best system for organ
izing and maintaining society. We
form a vast mutual benefit association
and in spite of petty and personal self
ishness we conform to the rules or pay
the penalty in costly terms. There
fore, that boy who early learns the les
son of obedience and discipline has a
great advantage over the one who
resists it until later in life when he
should be it's master instead Of its
servant.

THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS

Those San Francisco boys, to whom
President Wilson presented a flag,
must have ONE away from the White
House with very old thoughts in their
young minds. for the president laid
some before them.
." dare say you think" said the
president, shat schoolmasters are
often a bit hard on you in requiring
you to do things In order that you
may pass tests OF the school, but |
want to a you that when you get
out OF school you are going to have
harder schoolmasters than you had
before
It would be very well for every
school boy to read that, for II is full of
wisdom and truth. A member OF the
present congress writes In his biogra.
ply In the Congressional Directory:
II was educated In tho school of hard
knocks." Il ID not necessary to make
life unpleasantly hard to make II use

REPUBLICAN, REORGANIZATION

That there will be some tangible
steps taken toward republican reor-
~ganiZation along national lines has
been plainly manifest ever since the
last presidential campaign. 1t is ma
tural and inevitable that something
should be done to remo"e some of the
causes of dissatisfaction responsible
for defeat, and more particularly to
prevent it's r~eCurrance by making 1t
certain that the next standard bearer
may have an unQuestioned title to
his nomination.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that the most feasible way to bring
this about is to hold an intermediate
convention to change the apportion-
ment of delegates. By such change,
representation in the subsequent nomi-
mating COW entiOn would be made to
conform more closely to the party
strength in the respective states and
congressional districts, and the out
delegations stopped.
Just nov a competition thu eatens
over rival claims for the credit of
starting the reorganization movement.
Certain party leaders, chiefly United
States senators, want it to appear that
they firot turned the wheels, although
it will be necessary for the regular
party organization through it's duly
constituted officers to %inaugurate and
carry through whatever plan may be
adopted. While the party door will, Of
course, be open to all who arc ready to
join hands again under the old ban
ner, the qualification test for leader
ship will have to be sincerely of pur-
pose, ability to inspire confidence and
readiness to fight tho battles ahead of
us with patriotic and unselish motives.

APPLE CROPS ESTI-
MATES ARE VARYING

With the blossoms bursting in all
points of the Lower Valley. the grow
ers and experts can now make esti-
mates on the apple crop for the coming
year. Although this season is sup
posed to be the ''off year, all indiea-
tions seem to point to crop as large
as, if not in excess of that of last sea
son. A. z. Bateham, president of the
State Horticultural Society, who is
now a resident of Portland, was in the
city last week on business and made a
tour of the valley. because of my
brief visit could not make an esti-
mate. says Mr.. Bateham, but
think the prospects look pretty good
for a large crop this year. The
growers tell me the fruit spurs show
evidence of being loaded, and can
only say that | saw enough to be able
to accept their estimate. MIR. Bate
ham was formerly heavily interested
in orchards in the Mosier district.
j. c. Porter, of the Sears q Porter
orchard company, says that his trees
will not bear quite so heavily this year
as they did last, but that many of the
trees in the valley that were not
loaded last year will be full this year.
MIR. Porter looks for good full crop
despite the fact that it is an off year.
Indeed, at the present time it is diff
cult to get definite line up on esti-
mates of the crop for the year. Inter
views with growers in various parts of
the valley in the past week have
brought different ideas in most all
cases. Some of the orchardists declare
that the Spitzenburgs and Newtowns
are going to bear prolitically this year,
some say the Spitzenburgs will be
good, but that the Newtown crop will
be light. A. |. Mason says the indica-
tions in his orchard are for a large
crop of Spitz, but small on Newtowns.
The general prevailing opinion seems
to be that the crop will not be larger
than that of last year.
While the weather during the past
week has been intentionally chilly at
times. experts declare it could not be
better for the apples. II holds the
buds back and this slow process OF
blooming is said to be much better
than to allow the blossoms burst oper
almost spontaneously. Peaches, pears
and cherries are in full bloom in the
Lower Valley. and the whole distric
will soon become sea Of blossoms
Many friends of local people who re
side in neighboring cities will visit th
valley while the blossoms are at thei
| best. A party of high officials of tn
al o. w. r. & N. Co. will be the guest
, of the Commercial CLUB during II
height of the blossoming period.

LANE INTRODUCES
BULL RUN BILL

United States Senator Harry Lane
has introduced bill in the senate for
the purpose of the protection of the
Bull Run water reserve and to prevent
the construction of a road through the
reserve to the headwater of the Sandy
river. The first news of the introduc-
tion of the bill was received here when
Congressman N. j. Sinnott, wrote to
the Commercial club and stated that
the senator had taken this action. Mr..
Sinnott, who is we'll acquainted with
the conditions in the Lost Lake district
is opposed to the bill, for he realizes
that the road will be of benefit not
only to Portland, but to Hood River.
Mr.. Sinnott enclosed a clipping from a
New York paper calling attention to
the highway that the state is going to
build across the watershed of New
York City's Catskill system.
The news of the action of Senator
Lane and that of Representative Laff.

in the house of representatives, has

A gold medal to the school boy or

must be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1919, and the medal will be

positions can be graded. The compos-
ition may be based on knowledge
gained from books or other sources,
but no quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country, it is MIR. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of repair
and maintenance of roads is as much
the cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about bet
tre understanding of the subject of re-
pair and maintenance in the rural dist
ricts.
Many children living in the ruraI
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest il
the competition will stimulate greater
interest among the parents. Bad road:
