APPLE SHIPMENTS
CONTINUE HEAVY

The shipments of apples from the
local warehouses of the Apple Growers
Association continue heavy. Fourteen
carloads were sent out Monday, Small
deliveries continue daily.
The growers are already making de-
liVeres of boxes of fruit to be sent out
on the Christmas cars on November Is.
A carload of gift boxes will be shipped
to New York and one to Chicago, and
from those points, the fruit will be
distributed to the home cities Of the
donees.
IN discussing the apple situation Will
mer Sieg said in Sundays Portland
Journal
'The conditions of the past week
have been ones of marked improve
ment. The ordinary stuff and stuff in
overripe condition is cleaning up and
there seems to be disposition on the
part of the trade in different parts of
the country TO rather anticipate de-
mand for the future, taking stock that
is suitable for storage and under such
conditions, ii is quite possible to main
tain cur list of prices, where the char
acter iustities it.
''The inquiries come from no specific
territory, but are spread over terri
tory from Arizona to the New England
states, showing better and tirmer
feeling. Export demands are also ma
terially improved and on the basis of
actual purchases, showing the conf
dence of the foreign buyer in his mar
ket and for the future,
prices, while low, are at what
might be considered a satisfactory ba-
sis for the season, because they insure
the grower s0me profit on his product,
although, of course, the man is materi.
ally affected whose orchard produces
too heavy a percentage of the lower
grades,
The demand also for these lower
grades is improving. More inquiries
are being received and more orders be
ing taken and ! can note the fan
healthier tone existing that ought tC
lead to some advances in the neaI fu

Spitzenburgs, FOR instance, are being
taken about as rapidly as offered, De
mands for the intermediate grades

took place last Thursday on 10, 900
acre tract near 0lex. "For two weeks
men had herded the geese on this big
place, owned by DIR. Kilburn, of Seat

allowed to shoot the big birds as they
fed on the grain, until Thursday when
DR.. Kilburn and his friends arrived and
participated in the big shoot. More
than 60 men were on the field at once,
and the smoke arose as from huge

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS


A large flock of wild geese aroused
Hood River residents last Thursday as
they winged their way eastward toward
the feeding grounds in the Arlington
and Blalock regions. The honking of
the huge birds, as they flew low, form
ing a big Y, was heard plainly in doors
and brought housewives to backyards
and porches. 1t is said that the flight
of geese or ducks toward the south in
the fall portends wintry weather. In
fact, the heavy wind and rainstorm
followed the flight of the geese last
week.
While other Hood River men have
turned their attention to hunting, E.
W. Middleswart continues to seek
pleasure fishing. MIR. Middleswart
rarely misses day on the Hood river,

WOMAN'S WAY IN GARDEN
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

| wonder If many women collect
their vegetable and flower seeds for
planting another year? If they do it
is a great saving to the pocketbook.
In some instances 1t does not pay, but
one can easily save beans, peas, corn,
pumpkin, squash and cucumber seed
for the following year, and many ex-
pensive flower seeds can be gathered
during this month. The seeds must
always be ripe and free from all
flesh with vegetables such as the Gu
cumber and pumpkin,

bags, as the odor Of tobacco will keep
mice away from them. In each bag
l put a paper with the name of the
flower or vegetable written plainly
on 1t. / hang the bags in a cool closet
in the winter.
These are busy days, We must
plant snap beans the first, the middle
and the latter part of the month. AL

Food in ScotIond.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea-
son is just about to begin there Is a
controversy in the North as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies Of Scotland
for their patrons from England. 1t
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some Of the southerners re-
sent this. They want more vegeta-
bles, for instance, and a greater va
riety Of them. They demand turnip
tops "a luxury rarely consumed north
Of the Tweed, save by Sheep, and
ask, why no spinach?" Also they
want a heavy supper, likewise beer.
The complaining controversialists
say it is a case of ham and eggs for
breakfast, a midday dinner and a high
tea to conclude the meals of the day.
AS for beer, they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts look
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. So far the only reply of Scotland
to the f~ault-finders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out
side.-London Chronicle.

FOOD CONTROLS SEX
Generous Diet Means a Girl; scanty
Food a Boy, Finds Philadel-
phia Doctor.

Philadelphia.-That sex of children
may be predetermined is the conclu-
sion reached by DR.. Israel Bran of
this city after a study of 80 of his pa
tients upon whom he experimental
with special diet and also with medi-
cine. His conclusions are given in the
current number Of a medical newspa-
per.
DR.. Bran say that an excess Of
nourishment in the mother may decide
in favor Of a female child, while a
deficiency tends to the production, of a
male. A generous diet means a girl; a
scanty one, with low proteid allow
ance, favors a boy. In support Of this
theory 1t Is advanced that in times of
financial panic or war, when a plenti-
full quantity of rich heterogeneous food
is not available, male infants are in
the preponderance.
The second theory is that sex is de.
termined by the activity of the adrenal
glands, those ductless glands above
the kidneys, which secrete a substance
that seems to have an important effect
on the entire muscular and nervous
system.
1t is declared that in women who
are deficient in the adrenal supply
their offspring are female. 1t is there
fore thought that the use Of the ex.
tract of s%uprarenal glands Of animals
or a similar substance which would
stimulate the adrenal glands would in.
crease the chances of q male child.
DR.. Bran says that Of 30 of his pa
tents who placed themselves under his
directions 26 gave birth to boys.
These results" he writes. Strongly
indicate that the experiment employed
was highly successful, and that he
probably have at our disposal a means
of controlling at will the sex Of the un
born infant"
In accordance with these theories II
a boy is desired the treatment is diet
airy and medicinal. Eggs, meat, fish
and cheese are forbidden, and 1t is di
rected that the diet consist Of sucf
substances as cereals, fruits, potatoes
milk, buttermilk and butter. Plenty O
water is advised.

I'm glad I'm not the oldest" re-
marked a pretty girl to her chum.
why, Susan has to do almost every
thing at home; father thinks she ought

says I'm spoiled-and you just bet I'm
glad I'm the youngest grill"
Too often the oldest daughter is
made a drudge, and there is not the
proper amount Of respect and regard
for the girl whose labors take the
place of a maid. She is expected to
run errands, help with the care and
amusement of the children, teach
them lessons. What wonder that
such a girl will take the first oppor-
tunity for work as a mean to escape
from these unpaid labors, or accept
an offer Of marriage in order to live
apart from a family who do not even
try to make her home life comfort

Of IN open fountain. Some lovers of bird and animal life wondered what

Some time ago a drinking fountain Of the bubbnng type was installed

his bill into the stream with a quick darting motion Nothing happened, and
he tried 1t again. Finally he let it rest in the stream, and withdrawing it
