SCALP TROUBLE FOR YEARS

26S Harrison ST., Elyria, Ohio--My
case was a scalp trouble. 1 first no
ticed small punches on my scalp which
commenced to itch and l would
scratch them and in time they got
larger, forming a scale or scab with a
little pus, and chunks of hair would
come out when l would scratch them
of 1t caused me to lose most of my
hair. 1t became thin and dry and life
less l was troubled for over ten
years with it until it got so bad / was
ashamed to go to a barber to get my
hair cut.
Il tried everything I could get hold
Of and but received no
cure until / commenced using Cueicu-
ia Soap and Ointment when the scale
commenced to disappear. The way l
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
was to wash my scalp twice day
with warm water and Cuticura Soap
and rub on the Cuticura Ointment /
received benefit in a couple of weeks
and was cured in two months.

FORGOT DESIRE TO QUESTION
Chairman's Reception of Would-Be
lnterrogator Somehow Discovered
the Rest of Them.

At a political meeting in a certain
New South Wales gold-mining dis
trict the chair was taken by an ath-
letic miner. The candidate during
his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chaff, and his
chairman was soon in a state of boil
ing indignation Smothering his
wrath, however, he pacif1ed the
boys" by assuring them that at the
end of the candidates speech they
should be at liberty to put any ques-
ton they chose Accordingly, at the
end of the harangue he arose and in
quired in stentorian tones and in a
rich Irish brogue: His 'inny gintle-
man a questhion to airsk?" A stout
little Welsh miner, who had been a
conspicuous disturber of the peace
of the evening, shuff1ed slowly up the
steps of the platform But at the
top he was met by the chairman,
who, without the slightest warning,
delivered a terrific left-and-righter,
and sent the Welshman sprawling on
his back. Now" roared the chair
man, has inny other gintleman a
questhion to airsk ?"-and there was
no response.

tunity for a joke In the closing
months of his administration Henry
l. Stimson, then secretary of war,
wrote Mr.. Taft a very urgent request
that he give a friend of Stimson a
certain federal position
MIR Taft wrote to Stimson as fol-

"A steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and

AND THE SCENERY

There's a million dollars worth of
scenery, said DR.. Withycombe week
before last pointing to the Hood River
gorge. as the car in which he was
riding topped the East Side grade. He
changed his mind, when the automobile
rounded that eminence just beyond the
Reed home and concluded: "No, it's
worth more than that; you cant esti-
mate it. -
Nor can one tell the worth to us of
our natural wonders, the property of
all of us; be he ranch hand or million
aire-even though we had the latter
here in our democratic paradise. The
scale of the value shifts with the indi-
vidual as his mood shifts. At times
the mountain peaks may aid him in
reaching an exalted frame of mind be-
yond the descriptive powers of his own
utterance, although again he may see
without feeling. And yet it is a pecul-
iarly constructed piece of humanity
that can ever stop and view this heart
of the Casades without some thought
of its infinite splendor.
1t is ours to make the most Of We
raise apples and the world has
awarded them palms for their merit.
But we can become known to the four
corners of the globe, habited with men
and women, all of whom are filled with
the wanderlust, for these wonder spots
of a world. Build roads and make
them accessible and tourists will come.

PajarO Crop Estimates

The cOnsesus of opinion among apple
growers in|the Pajaro valley inclines
to the belief that shipments this season
will aggregate not less than 1000 car
loads. A few of the more optimistic
shippers and packers place the output
at 1900 cars. The most commonly ac-
cepted estimate is that there will be
$50 carloads of Bellefeurs and 300 cars
of Newtowns with 450 cars of mixed
varieties.
The valley in general seems to have
suffered more heavily from the frost
and other elements than was at first
supposed, but the Corralitos section
will no doubt have fair crop, Corral
itos fruit being the best in the valley
so far.
Watsonville is not the only apple
growing community that has suffered
from the weather this season, for re.
ports heard from all over the country
are about the same. Most of these re-
ports state that the apple crops in all
sections have been hard hit this year
and there are few places where there
will be full crop. Already few
Skinner Seedlings and Gravensteins
have been shipped out, but they are
going slowly at the best.
The community this year will not see
the large influx of "apple tramps"
that are a feature of every season
there. These cramps" have heard
the reports from far and near of the
situation there this year, and they
have departed for other climes.
A few of the faithful are coming in
to the city every day, but they are but
small in number when compared with
the army that has visited this section
every year heretofore.

GROWERS OF VALLEY
ASKED TO COOPERATE

The proposition of the growers of
Hood River valley, cooperating with
the Hood River Apple Vinegar Com
pany. to enable them to enlarge their
present industry, and to add whatevr
lines OF manufacturing that would be
advisable to take care of the crops of
the valley, such as an evaporator, can
merry, etc., has been worked out on an
easy payment proposition.
The grower taking one share of stock
(par value $l0) for each acre of bear
ing orchard, giving two notes for the
same, bearing eight per cent interest,
the first note to mature March l. 1914,
and the second note to mature March /,
1915. These notes are payable in Gull
apples or cash, at growers option.
The stock will be issued and bear the
same date as the date of the notes, and
the holder will participate in whatever
dividends that may accrue on his stock.
The stock will be held as collateral for
the notes and the Gull apples credited
on the same, the first of each month.
Now, Mr.. Grower. we ask you for
your own benefit, as we'll as for the
good OF the valley, to give this matter
your careful consideration. We are
not here as promoters, but have been
with you for the past five years. in
vested our money in the present plant,
and demonstrated to you who We are,
what we are, and what can be done
along these fines. with proper manage
ment and salesmanship.
We are not asking any bonus, or
recompense, for what we have done
and the business we have built up. We
simply ask you to join US and to enable
us to keep pace with the increase in
production of your valley.
Our plan is to make this plant as
near cooperative as possible, to enable
you to get the highest possible price
for your products. The proposition
outlined above has been approved, and
notes signed up for over 60 per cent of
the bearing acreage of the valley.
Bring in your Gull apples and. when
you have an opportunity, visit the fac
tory and we feel confident you will be
impressed with the progress we have
been making. and will let US have your
support. Very truly yours.

ROdenhiSer May Have Gone to AlaSk a

W. H. Rodenhiser, the Upper Valley
merchant, who SO mysteriously disap-
peared the first of the month, may
have gone to San Francisco, where he
took passage for Alaska. according to
some of the Upper Valley citizens. He
had mining claims there.
Hunting parties have returned from
the mountains, having found no trace
of the missing man. and it is now be-
lieved that he was never lost but left
the community. going into the VILLAIN
ette valley via Lost Lake and the head
waters of the Sandy river.
Creditors of the missing man have
brought suit to recover for moneys
owed them, and his merchandise has
been placed in the hands of r. l.. Sa-
bin, of Portland.

COWS AND FARMERS

al am a farmer from the bottom Of
my feet to the top of my head, de-
clared DIR. Withyeombe, when he ad-
dressed the Upper Valley ranchers.
And the director of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College spoke the words in
such manner that they rang true.
Hood River people are talking cows.
They are planning the inauguration of
COW club. They must become real
farmers, if they are going to make the
success that they dream of, out OF
cows. The Hood River valley has not
had enough farmers. This is true
statement of fact and not meant as a
criticism. A large percentage of the
local country residents have come from
the cities Of the country, comparatively
recently. They could not have been
farmers. If they had so desired. But
the life in the country is working
metamorphosis, and sensible, educated
farmers are springing up in all parts
of the district.
Lured by the stories of rich returns,
every fruit district up and down the
Pacific coast has its men and women
who have come to the country and
have had to go through siege of dis
appointment. They have gone on their
places with an ideal system of agricul-
ture in mind, the ideal fruit raising.
Perhaps, they paid a small portion
down on their places, and yet this
small portion was all the money they
had in the world. They expected to
pay the balance from the returns of
the land, the fruit crops. Perphaps
there was reverse due to weather
conditions or to markets. With all his
eggs broken in the one basket, the
family in such position naturally felt
keen disappointment, but those of
sturdier natures, who are strengthened
by diversity, saw the necessity of
turning real farmers, and the adverse
circumstances. while thought to have
been an i'll wind, blew them good.
And here in our own valley, orchard
lists have come TO realize the necessity
of a limited adversely of agriculture.
You may still find some of the IDEAL
lists. All is well, if they have the
price to say. IL don't want to bother
with cow" If they haven't, they
had best seek clerkship or some such
position and thus find their level.

Ii is admitted that the dam of the
Pacific Power & Light Co. across the
Hood river near the city obstruets the
passage of salmon. This stream. be-
cause of its fishing. is one Of the eoun-
tvs biggest assets. leaving aside the
orchards; for it draws tourists here.
The state has set aside the stream as a
spawning stream. If the big fish can
not reach the waters above the dam,
this action is needless. The request OF
the Fish and Game Commission seems
reasonable and the officials of the pow
er and light company should cooperate
with them in an effort toward making
the NEST of the river for those who
love the sport of fishing.
