marked that as he was giving the
graduating address every year he
needed the versatility Of a newspaper
man or the genius OF an inventor to
say something new each time. He
then related the story of reporter
who said to Prof. Bell, the famous In
ventor. Were 1t not for the press,
your inventions would not be known
to the world at large" That's So"
replied Prof. Bell, but do you know
that look upon newspapermen as
the greatest invention in the world"
Father Giglinger contended that he
was neither Prof Bell nor news.
paperman, not even word-painter,
and would simply give the graduates
a few words Of advice.
He said that the school does not
solve the problems Of life for anyone:
it only gives its graduates the key to
that solution.

Must Have Religion.

NO life can possibly be complete
with religion left out, and no key
can unravel all the mysteries Of life
If 1t hear not the genuine religious
trademark. Prominent educators real.
lie this more and more every day.
Before and above the duty of man to
man comes his duty to almighty God.
Religion, learning and patriotism go
hand in hand. and are the only solid
bulwark of government for the
people and by the people
Catholics are sometimes blamed
for having their own parochial
schools" said Father Giglinger. THE
parochial school was not founded in
opposition to the public school but
with a view of bringing the child
closer to almighty God and keeping it
from agnosticism or atheism. The
public school under present conditions
does the best 1t can as it has not the
right to teach religion.
Il have found the public school
authorities Of Keokuk a fair-minded
body of men. Speaking for my own
school, there is friendly rivalry but
no opposition to any school"

MINISTER'S OPPOSE
PROM PARTY TACTICS

The ministers Of the city held an in
teresting meeting at the Commercial
club last Monday afternoon. Several
of the ministers have been approached
by man who has been going about
asking citizens to sign card pledginR
themselves to vote for the nominees OF
the Prohibition party as soon as this
party gets enough signatures to vote
the state Dry" Work has been
received that several women wereo to
canvass the county in the same inter-
ests. A lively discussion arose cover
the effect of such methods upon the
general work Of temperance in the
state. AL of the six ministers present
were strong in their desire to rid the
state of saloons, some were prohibit
tionists, but0 they were unanimously
agreed that this method confused the
issue and that the people should be
warned against tying themselves to a
party under the cover of pledging
themselves for no saloons. 1t is not
necessary to vote any certain party
candidates into Office to put Oregon
in the DRY" column, the ministers
contend.
Ample preparations are being made
to have an all.day nonpartissn temper.
ance rally the 25th of this month,
when the various pulpits of the city
will be occupied by the Representatives
of the Anti-Saloon League. That all
the ministers favor a most vigorous
campaign for "No Saloon in Oregon,
is certain, but they believe that result
can best be brought about by nonparti-
san effort and to that they are
nledRed.

new ORDER
WILL REIGN
FOREIGNERS WILL BUY APPLE
Change in Method viii Be Of InestimabI,
Value to Future MarketerS,
Says Sieg

Through the efforts of their Pres,
II. +. Davidson, who has been spending
the winter at New York, where he has
charge OF II of the eastern shipments
OF apples and the export trade, the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors are
bringing about a new order of things
in the exports of northwestern box ap-
Piles. Up to this year all northwestern
box apples have beep consigned. Con-
signments have been tabooeG this year,
ahd the merchants Of the Continent
and England have been making direct
purchases of the fruit.
The buyers are finding the new
order of things to their advantage, ="
says Wilmer Sieg. 81 get daily wire
communications and htters from MIR.
Davidson, and the new method is bring
ing about wider distribution of the
fruit. We are receiving calls from
points in Italy and Scandinavian
Cities
ut is very possible thing" says
mir. Sieg, THAT by the end of January
very few apples will be left in Hood
River for sale. Phe Distributors,
making the change in distribution
methods, feel that single bird in the
hand is better than several in the bush.
But we hope that those who buy will
make profit. They will be encour-
aged to buy again. II is our policy to
sell the fruit on basis that will give
the buyers the advantage of some
speculation. Hhsn this system be-
comes thorouhely understood by ESro-
psan buyers, it will be of insstimabhs
benefit to the marketers in hsndlinA
future crops.
Heretofore thu northeast has
trusted largely to merchants axnd
brokers in Europsan countries, aHd kn-
cause of the free accePtation of cable
advices every season has seen sodrre
disaster. On this account the masaoed-
ing conditions of last year were very
disastrous. The North Pacific Fruit
Distributors, working in accord With
MIR. Davidson and the accredited
agents of the concerns abroad, are
keeping in close touch with all market
ing conditions this year and are abso-
lutely guarding against any consign-
ments. A matter of this kind would be
absolutely impossible without the clos
est cooperation and organization, and
this is but another proof of the bene-
fits Of cooperative marketing"
Mr.. Sieg says that growers have to
learn lessons ass to the handling of
fruit. Too much of the crop of the
year is still in the hands of growers.
Many loads of apples are coimng into
the storage houses this week. "This
is too late to pack fruit" says Mr.
Sieg. Much of this tarianess is dts
to the carelessness Of growers, but a
system of cooperative packing houses
where the smaller orcharidsts can haul
their product and clean it up earlier in
the season will do much to eliminate
the bad effects of having overripe APP
Piles 20 on the market.

OLD YOUNG MAN DE-
VEIOpS His RANCH

Younger in spirit than many men on
the sunny side Of 80 years, John o.
Curtis, who will celebrate his seventy
fourth birthday today, is clearing an
orchard tract near Dee. MIR. Curtis has
beautiful little home and rs making
II source OF pride to himself and all
of his n0ighbors.
The young-old man, when he can be
persuaded to talk, can tell many inter-
esting tales; stories that have been
handed down from line of patriotic
ancestors, and tales of his own expert
ence. Recently Mr.. Curtis received a
draft for Sl.66. from the United States
government, the sum being his part of
an amount that was paid for ships of
his great-grandfather's destroyed by
the French government in the 9eiRh.
teenth century. Speaking of this epi-i
sode and incidents of his own life, Mr..
Curtis said Sunday:
my great-grandfather Robert Pat

Maine, and built number OF vessels
in the latter part of the 18th century,
most of them brigs oand schooners.
About 1897 or 1898 the United States
came very near having war with
France. Some of our shipping was de-
stroyed and oct of this came ehe
French Spoilation Claims" You are
in better position to find out about
the date and amount of the claims, but
have understood that when the Louis
lana purchase was made in 1903 a sum
OF money was kept back to bay these
| claims. The money has remained in
Uncle Sans hands ever since and the
claims. till recently, were never paid.
About ten years ago | received about
nine dollars as my share of schooner

heirs. The list was nearly two deet
long and priced the list more than |
did the legacy. Then 81. .66 came few
days ago and was my share of sloop
