A PROGRESSIVE FIRM

Last summer Roberts & Simms ac-
cepted the district agency for the San
Francisco Life Insurance Co., of San
Francisco, CAL, and from the fact that
they gave it such volume of business
from this county, the first of October
they were offered and accepted the
state agency for the western part of
Oregon, which was taken charge of by
l.. c. Simms. and the Hood River bust
ness was left In charge of G. 7. Rob-
erts. but again the results we're so sat
isfactory that in January, 1914 the com
pany was offered and they accepted an
agency for the entire state of Oregon.
The growth of the business has in
creased to such proportion since then
that it was more than Mr.. Simms could
give proper attention to, so that, not
withstanding they were the leading
real estate fand fire insurance firm To-
cally, they decided to devote all their
time in effecting an agency force to
represent the San Francisco Life In
surance Co. So they have sold their
real estate and fire insurance business
to Messrs. Reed & Henderson, who
were their most successful competi-
tors, and they can assure their many
friends and patrons that their business
will receive as prompt and careful at
tention from their successors as it has
received in the past.
Mr.. Roberts says:
''ln discontinuing our Hood River
Office we desire to thank our many
loyal patrons Individually. for their
hearty support and cooperation. and
were il not for the fact that there are
l35 deaths to every fire. and that we
think we can serve you better by pro-
curing some protection for your wives
and children, we would continue to
serve you as we have in the past.

DISTRIBUTORS WILL
CHARGE BY BOX

tFrom Spokane Spokesman-Review)
A complete new set of charges fol
handling produce was compiled by the
trustees OF the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tTibutors IN three-day session which
closed last week. A new basis ha,
been determined upon. Hereafter
charges will be made by the centra
selling agency with the box as tht
unit, rather than the car, as was The
case last year. The general result il
the same, however, and there will bC
no material increase in the cost Of do
| ing business.
The new charges are set forth in the
following resolution, which is final, al
though the trustees have returned {
their respective districts to meet witt
the growers and explain that the new
system will be really give a more
equitable distribution.
Resolved, That the charges Of the
Distributors for the season of 1914 foi
handling produce be fixed as follows
said charges TO include collection foI
railroad claims, all brokcrages and ex,
change on drafts and checks, except as
herein noted:
Apples, 5 cents per box and | cent
additional per box for advertising and
emergency fund.
Pears. 8 cents per box and ! cent
for the advertising and emergency
fund. "Prunes, plums and peaches,
cents Der box and I cent for advertis
ing and emergency fund. except peach.
es do not contribute to the fund.
"On export cars, all foreign charges
shall be added to the above.
ION all ears going to auction or sold
on commission, for any reason, the fol.
lowing charge shall be deducted from
the net market returns to the distribu.
tors:
Apples, % cents per box and cent
additional per box for advertising and
emergency fund.
Pears, cents per box and cent for
advertising and emergency fund.
Prunes and plums, II cents per box
and ! cent per box for advertising and
emergency fund.
Peaches, II cents per box.
The charges for potatoes and wa
termelons, including the collection of
railroad claims, brokerage and ex-
change on drafts and checks, are here
by fixed at S25 per car.
'On all other commodities, such as
cherries, berries, cantaloups, grapes,
etc, the central office is authorized to
adjust the charges equtably upon the
same general basis as schedule ], ex-
cept that no charge shall be made for
advertising"
'On this new schedule we now take
care of everything on a box basis, ;"
said j. II. Robbins, general manager.
Previously there was charge of SIS
per car by our office, SIS per car for
brokerage in the east, exchange run
ming from so cents to 81 per car and
10 per cent charge on the collection of
all railroad claims. In the end the new
schedule will probably mean a reduc.
tion in total cost per car
1.-THE old method was not altogether
equitable. Some districts shipped as
many as 750 boxes in a car, although
the average car is only $50 boxes. Un-
der the old schedule one district paid
the same for $50 boxes as another did
for $50 boxes. The new arrangement
will enable us to extend our salaried
representatives. in the east. The
charge for advertising is the same as
last year"

A HOME RECIPE FOR
REMOVING WRINKLES

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and attrac-
tive as she reasonably can! Why
should she be placed at disadvantage
in numerous ways by wearing wrinkles,
if she can avoid these hateful marks Of
advancing agel Few women, however,
know what to do to effectually rid
themselves of wrinkles or sagginess.
Most Of the advertise preparations are
unsatisfactory and very expensive. But
a very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any woman can make,
will work wonders where all the patent
preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite al
any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in half pint of witch hazel and
use as wash lotion. The results are
practically instantaneous. Marked inn
provement is noticed Immediately after
the very first trial. Wrinkles and
sagging are corrected and the face feels
so refreshed and snug like.

ULSTER WILL NEVER
ACCEPT HOME RULE
Orangemen Walk Out Of Parli-
ament In a Body Rather
Than Debate II.

London Sept. l6.-(By mail to New
York Ulster will never accept home
rule This is the only conclusion that
can be drawn from recent developments,
despite the fact that Ireland has pre-
sented united front in the face Of a
national crisis and the home rule bill
has been placed upon the statute books.
The unprecedented scene of the entire
opposition, headed by Andrew Bonar
Law, walking from the house of com.
mons and refusing to participate in de-.
bate, when protest against the enact
ment Of home rule during the war was
ignored, was presented. Attempts were
made to cable this news today, but it
was held up, killed by the British CEN
sOrs. The unionists regarded the action
of the government as fiagrant breach
Of faith, but left the house rather than
prolong the party differences by debate.
In manifesto to Uulster, Sir Edward
Carson calls upon his followers to con.
time to do their duty toward the empire
despite "the unparalleled treachery and
betrayal of the radical government.
VIII Fight Later
"They are taking advantage of the
situation created by war, which threat.
ems the very existence Of the United
Kingdom and the empire, to inflict upon
us this degradation and this humilia-
tion," the statement declares. The
government has thought it an opportune
moment, when a great number Of the
members Of parliament are serving
their country and so many of our peo.
pie have nObly responded to Lord
Kitchener's appeal and when, there
fore, we could not enter upon resistance
without iniuring and weakening our
country, to seek a party triumph with
out regard to national interests.
"The infamy Of such a proceeding,
will, ] know, sink deeply into the heart
of every local and patriotic man, a1G
WILL ] am sure, act as stimulus 10 the
fight to the finish which we have
covenanted to carry out.
"But ! ask my followers in Ulster
to remember that this is not the action
Of the nation, but Of a despieabe pOliti-
cal faction and our duty at the present
moment is towards our country and the
empire. . But you may rest as.
sured that we shall not slaeken for q
moment our efforts to be prepared when
our country is out Of danger TO take
such action as may be necessary TO car
ry out our covenant to the end. ! once
more promise TO 90 straight on with YOU
in the fight, strengthened by the be.
lief that Great Britain will never for.
