FINALLY LEARNED THE TRUTH
Queen Of Roumana Had to Go IN
cognito to Ascertain Real Worth
Of Her Voice.

In her youth, Queen Elizabeth OF
Roumania spent much time on the
training of her voice, and, encouraged
by fiatterers, came to believe herself
to be singer of unusual talent. AT
length, says Bibliothek der Inter
haltung und des Wilson's, she decided
to have her voice tried by some great
teacher. So she went one day, dressed
very simply, and without the usual
retinue of servants, to see Professor
Dumanois of Bucharest, and urged him
to give his frank opinion on the quality
of her voice, and her future prospects
He tested her voice with great care,
first with the simple scales, then with
a song, and lastly with an operate
aria
When the trial was over, the profess
sor said: II cannot say that you have
a wonderful voice You sing fairly
well, and with not little feeling. /
might undertake to train you to sing
in operetta; but to speak quite frank
ly. you haven't the looks for it."
Up to this time the teacher had not
known that the rank of the aspirant
was any higher than that Of scores Of
other young ladies', equally ambitious,
who constantly came to him. But his
surprise was great when the lady
handed him the visiting card Of the
queen, and he found that he had be-
fore him no. less parsonage than
royalty itself. The queen thanked him
heartily for the frank way in which
he had judged her musical ability, and
went home with her ambition in that
direction decidedly diminished

War Distances.

War, besides being a great leveler,
Is also a great educator. Places we
had never even heard Of previously
are now becoming as familiar in our
mouths as household words" The
distances are apt to be somewhat con-
fusing unless understood. 1t ought,
however, to be quite easy to remember
that a meter measures about one and
one-twelfth yards, or more exactly,
1887 inches. A decameter is 10 me-
ters, a hectometer is 100 meters, and
a kilometer is 1000 meters, or little
more than three-tifths of a mile. The
Russians express the length of their
marches or the distance from place to
place in versts. A verst Is rather
more than a kilometer. the exact dis
lance being 06628S of mile, or be-
tween three-fifths and four fifths OF
that distance.

Secure GroWers
on Sinking Fund
ldaho-Oregon Fruit Growers Ascot
alton Sending All Members Interest
Bearing Note to Secure Them on
Sinking Fund.

This season for the purpose of ere
ating fund to finance the institution
and to enable the return to the grow
ers of the notes that were used this
season the Idaho-Oregon Fruit Grow
ers Association created what IL
termed a sinking fund. The fund was
secured by holding out of each grow
er's receipts five cents for every
box Of apples sold and two and one
half cents for every crate of prunes
sold. By this method a fund will
be secured to take care of the needs
of the association and also to enable
it to look after it's growers in the
matter of the buying of supplies with
out borrowing expensive money.
To secure the grower on this fund
Manager M. ]. Higley is sending out
sinking fund notes to each individual
grower for his full amount in. the
sinking fund The notes bear four
per cent interest and arc due and
payable in three years. Attached
to the note are three interest bearing
which by clipping off and
turning in to the head office insure i
the grower of his interest annually. |
The notes are very neat affairs hav-
ing on one end the autographed copy
of the 10 label which is used on ev-
cry box of apples shipped by the as
sociation.
The same system Of creating a sink
ng fund has been in vogue in the
Yakima Valley for two seasons and
his season it reached the $4,000
mark.

Denney G. Company Protest Against

lnaugurate Campaign to Get Reduc-

Busy.

After learning of the raise in ex
press rates from Payette to all Ida
no points on fruits and vegetables F.
E. Price, of Denney G. Company at
once began a campaign to secure a
reduction. By letter he has taken
the matter up with every firm in
this state that has formerly purchased
early fruits and vegetables of them
and sbas asked them in instances
Were there are no Commercial clubs
to individually take the matter up
and assist in securing a readjustment
of the rates. In cities where there
are commercial clubs he has asked
the merchants to interest that body
in the work.
The traffic committee of the Pay
cite Valley Commercial Club will al
SO work in connection with Mr.. Price.
The matter will first be taken up
with the express company. Should
no satisfaction be secured from the
company the aid of the public utili-
ties commission will be asked as well
as that of the interstate commission.
ALI of the shipments from Payette
going east are necessarily interstate
and will probably have to be brought
to the attention of the interstate
commission.
The time for shipping early vegeta-
bles and fruits is fast approaching
and the prompt handling of this mat
ter will probably secure relief for
the grower.
