He Was Mistaken,

Miss Ellen Terry, who underwent a
successful operation to her eyes re-
Gently, is noted for her wit, and she
was always the life and soul of the
various theatrical companies Of which
she was member.
The famous actress was once ap-
pearing in a play with certain actor
who was noted for his irritability. He
used to complain that Miss Terry con-
tinually laughed at him during one Of
his most important scenes.
At last he wrote her letter on the
subject, In the course of which he said:
81 am extremely sorry to tell you that
1t Is impossible for me to make any
effect in my scene II you persist in
laughing at me on the stage and so
spelling the situation. May ask you
to change your attitude, as the scene
is a most trying one2"
To this Miss Terry replied as follows:
"You are quite mistaken. never
laugh at you on the stage. wait TIL

THE HARVEST MOON

Did you see the glorious harvest moon
last week? The full, yellow orb of Di'
ana rose each evening at first darkness
and shone the entire night, shedding
rays more yellow and effulgent than
usual. This full moon of the autumn
season is called the harvest moon be-
cause the peasants of Normandy and
Brittany were accustomed to spend the
evenings harvesting their crops by the
aid of its light. Portions of the night
were spent in work and the remainder
in pleasantries.
Just contemplate the horror that the
harvest moon may look down on in the
continental European countries today
instead of scenes pastoral, Diana may
behold that of carnage and blood.
Then think of the quiet and peace of
these Oregon hills.

A WONAN'S FAIR

An agitation is being made 10 have
the proposed annual sock show Of next
year extended to take in the activities
Of the communities housewives. The
suggestion is one worthy Of commenda-
tion, and we hope the women will see
their desires gratihed.
The Hood River valleys innumerable
good cooks should be permitted to vie
with each other in the making Of pas
tries and breads and in the display Of
their canned fruits. The seamstTesses
should be allowed to bring forth their
handiwork. We assure the women that
we shall take just as much interest in
this proposed branch of the fair Of
next year as in the fine stock. The
husbands should not be allowed to 90
forth with all the glory.
1t was suggested directly to us few
days ago that we supply a woman's
page with the Glacier. We did not at
first comprehend the suggestion, think.
ing that it was meant that we fill
page with cuts Of changing fashion
or some such matter. We abbor this
turn Of many newspapers, and we were
immensely pleased TO learn that such
suggestion was not intended. Instead
it was proposed that we give our space
to local women for the exchange of
recipes for cooking and canning and
for suggestions of entertainment dur
ing festive seasons.
We will welcome the first recipe
from Hood River woman. And we
assure the women of the valley that
we will be glad to publish every item
of news or interest that will assist
them in making their home life in the
Hood River valley more profitable and
pleasant Where articles are not Of
recent news happenings we will re-
serve the privilege of holding them for
future issues of the paper, when our
space will not permit of their publica.
tion on week of their receipt.

ROAD MARKERS

We have had many tourists this year,
and no small portion of them, because
of our poorly marked roads, have been
lost. In the summer months people
from The Dalles en- route to Parkdale,
not knowing the roads and there being
no signs, took the Fir road for the
Neal creek canyon and were getting
back close to home agein without
knowing it. 1t is said by people of the
East Side that rarely day passes that
motorists do not stop TO inquire the way
to The DalIes. Others from the east
want to know the route Heading to
Hood River. The cross road should be
well marked with signs large enough
to attract attention.

Wahstar and Turkaus-


Senator Daniel Webster at his farms
in New Hampshire and at Marshfield,
Mass, seems to have been one Of the
earliest advocates of Improving the
turkey. He did a great deal in that
way himself and sent many fine COB
blers and hens from Marshfeld to
friends at home and In Europe who
were engaged in improving breeds of
poultry. A downtown hotel In this
city made for years a special feature
of serving prime turkeys from Web
ster's Marshfeld farm. The "godlike
Daniel' used to stay at that hotel,
and at times when in good humor he
would take the head of a table and
carve one of his own raised turkeys, a
saddle of mutton from his New Hamp-
shire place or haunch Of a deer shot
by himself in Plymouth woods.-New

old prophets and poets-Manu, Moses,
Homer, Chaucer-walked in. You may
name 1t America, but 1t isn't America.
Neither Americas Vespucius nor Co

it in mythology than any history Of

At present in this vicinity the best
part of the land is not private proper

the walker enjoys comparative free
dom. But possibly the day will come
when 1t will be partitioned Off into so
called pleasure grounds, in which a
few will take narrow and exclusive
pleasure only. To enjoy thing ex-
clusively Is commonly to exclude your.
self from the true enjoyment Of It.

Corn Is really a food for the gods. In
nutritite value it Is but little behind
whole wheat -four. containing within
9 per cent as much carbohydrates and
within 3 per cent as much protein
Much OF the food value Of wheat Is
sacrificed in preparation Of tiour. TO the
end that our dainty appetites may be
piqued by the snowy whiteness OF the
bread. Thus bulk for bulk good corn
bread is quite as nutritiye as is the
wheaton loaf. Many ways Of cooking
corn are known, but the simplest are
the better. A sturdy race OF pioneers
throve on mush and milk and corn
pone and hoe cake. Civilization and
luxury have led the children Of these
pioneers to look with disdain on corn
and TO prefer TO secure its great health
giving properties through other medi-
ums. We have been taking our corn
by way Of pork and beef.-Omaha Bee.

he did wt't?"

A COMPARISON

Cities, like human beings, soon gain
good or bad regulations. The visitors
to large city are impressed with GER
tain features which they never forget.
A city may gain name for its i'm
morality, or its conservatism, even for
ultra Ipuritanical qualities of its resi-
dents.
Seattle, city known in the four cor
ners of the world, from reports that
are circulating, is getting in bad. 1t is
getting name that big, progressive
metropolis should not have. The repu-
tation that is attaching to the name of
Seattle will have an effect that will re-
suit in injury.
Seattle is said to tolerate, even con-
nive at the custom of holding up its
tourists with exOrbitant hotel rates.
Scores of the bankers at the recent
American Bankers Association conven.
ti0n at the Washington metropolis re-
turned to their respective homes thor
oughly sore at the stiff prices inflicted
on them. Rates at hotels are said to
have been doubled for the occasion.
This is not the first time Seattle has
been accused of such practices.
Compare our own city of Portland
with Seattle Portland sends its visit
ors away with tales of praise. Tourists
are given the best at no increase of
rates. And Hood River. too, is making
such reputation. Local hotels treat
alike the home man or the visitor.
When Breckenridge Jones, st. Louis
banker. who was recently motoring
through the community, received his
bill at the Hotel Oregon, he expressed
his surprise that it was not more.
