CHILDREN's EVENING STORY

makes me hungry just to think about
them. I'll Just have to stop, or I'll
never finish this story.
At last, after having opened the
oven door about forty-leven times,
Uncle Wiggily said:
We'll, finally the buns are baked.
Now I'll get them out of the oven,
Grandpa Goosey, and we'll heat our
Easter egg dye
Putting on a pair of SNOWFALL nit
tens, so he would not burn his paws,
Uncle Wiggily pulled the pan of hot
cross buns from the oven and set them
to cool out on the back steps. Then
he began to heat the rainbow colors
in the little bottles to make them
ready to dye the eggs.
All at once, when Uncle Wiggily and
Grandpa Goosey were quite busy with
the red, green, blue, pink, purple and
yellow colors, the bad old egg dog, who
mad gotten over the toothache, after
having chewed on the white stone
Uncle Wiggily gave him-sll of sud
del that bad dog came up son the back
steps Of the hollow stump bungalow.
iii have those Easter eggs yeti"
me growled to himself
He looked in the kitchen window,
and saw Uncle Wiggily and Grandpa
Goosey coloring eggs, and that bad dog
said to himself:
'Ha! Now is my chance! I'll sneak
in, upset pot of red dye all over them.
They'll be SO surprised they won't
know what to do, and before they see
me I'll grab all the eggs I want and
I'll"
All of a sudden the bad dog stopped
thinking what he would do. For he
saw the pan of hot cross buns on the
stoop, near where he was standing.
II guess I'll wait about getting
the EGGS" said the dog to himself
'Ill take some of these buns. I can
get the eggs later"
Then, not knowing the buns were
just hot out of the oven, the egg-dog
took several In his mouth and began
chewing on them.
And then!
Well, l think you can guess what
happened.
WOW! Ouch! Double WOW! Horse
radish! Mustard! Pepper hash" cried
the bad egg-dog as his mouth and
tongue and teeth were burned by the
hot cross buns. ooh, why was not
content to take some eggs?" he cried
And then he ran down off the stoop,
ami hurried to look for fountain OF
ice water to cool his mouth.
So he didn't spoil any of Uncle Wig.
gily's Easter eggs after all, and when
Grandpa Goosey and the rabbit gentle.
man had colored nearly enough they
went out on the stoop to get the pan
of hot cross buns-only, of course, the
buns were cool enough now.
WHY" cried Uncle Wiggily, his
nose twinkling like Christmas tree
some one has been taking some Of the
buns"
"Well, hope they liked Them" said
Nurse Jane, coming back Just then
I'm sure they were welcome to 8
fe.,, as 1 have a great many"
But don't believe that bad egg-dos
liked the hot cross buns at all, dc
you?
Anyhow this teaches us that ice
water is very good thing on hot
day, and in the next story I'm going to
tell you about Uncle Wiggily's Easter
that is If the goldfish doesn't throw
snowballs at the canary bird and scare
the pussy cat so it can't jump rope.

FORMER NEIGHBORS
HEAR HERMAN STRUCK

Many of the former neighbors of
Herman Struck, now an artist of note
at San Francisco, were at the Hebron
ner hall Tuesday evening to hear Mr..
Struck's lecture on art.
MIR. Struck illustrated his talk with a
set of IL large canvasses, depicting
scenes on California ranch. Mr..
Struck, who first studied art at the
Hopkins Institute in San Francisco,
went to Chicago, where he studied un.
der Alphonso Mucha. Returning to the
west he has been spending much of his
time on large California ranch.
Until MIR. Struck was here last
week, he had dropped from the minds
of his old time friends and neighbors.
Those who had recalled him remem-
hered akfarm lad like his playmates,
perhaps little more serioussminded,
and with talent for drawing. In his
childhood days on improvsed canvasses
he would paint the farm animals and
draw landscape scenes.
Both Herman Struck and his brother,
Ferdinand. the latter graduate of the
University of Oregon and local high
school, have made good Ferdinand
Struck is now superintendent of the
West Orange, N. j., Industrial school.
After he completed his work at u. of

OLD GRlST MILL
WILL BE OPERATED

J.sR. Phillips has made arrangements
to secure from K. E.stlarblson the old
milstones used by Daniel d. Rogers
in Hood Rivers first gristmill and will
install them at his saw mill on Phelps
creek. near the original home of the
old burrs.
Since the O.-W. r. & N. Co. began
the distribution of free seed corn and
since Billy Sunday and l.. c. Heller
demonstrated that corn could be sue
cessfully grown on local ranches, hun
dreds of acres of the grain have been
planted Turns" of the golden grain
may now be taken to MIR. Phillips mill,
where it will be turned into excellent
meal.
The old millstones have for many
years been in the old HARRISON mill on
Neal creek The mill. however, has
not been operated for more than five
years.
+. l.. Smith was instrumental in get
ting MIR. Rogers TO establish his grist
mill. MIR. Smith at that time owned
4S0-acre ranch in the Franktou dis
trict. Contrary to advice Of neighbOrs,
MIR. Smith concluded to experiment in
the growing Of wheat He cleared and
planted rs acres on the fiat which lies
jut east of where the old Belmont Nj.
Il. church is located. From this field he
harvested and threshed 1000 bushels of
fine wheat.
Mr.. Smith had proved to his doubling
neiRhbors that he could grow wheat,
but he was confronted with the problem
of getting the grain made into flour.

geous pageantry of Paganism into
sharp and clear relief against the tow

of the early Christian faith, and even
dlscloses the riot and license of self
indulgent Rome. as it were, at the very
foot of the ascent to Calvary.
The motion picture version is natur-
ally more elaborate and detailed than
the original stage presentation of the
play, and the great Roman gardens,
baths, palaces and forums, with their
identical wealth of costume and set

it faithful copy of the times and en-

Putting il to Use

From Portland Commercial Club
Buletin.)
1t would have required an automobile
two miles long and containing 3467
seats to accommodate the Portlanders
who were on the new Columbia river
highway last Sunday. Hundreds of
picnic parties spread luncheons on the
hills high above the charming Columbia
river and at spots from which marvel
Gus views were obtained. Besides the
contingent of residents, there were
several hundred easterners out on the
road.
Several cars were observed which
were only partially filled with passen-
gers This leads to the suggestion that
no Portlander drive his auto onto the
highway without going around to some
of the hotels and picking up a stranger
in the city, if there is an extra seat in
the machine.
II you are going anyway. it costs no
more to carry guset and the advertis-
ing will pay big returns.

durable Rs well as attractive.

Station Experts Make Recommendations

In numerous orchards throughout the
valley considerable injury is being oc-
casioned to foliage through the pres
ence of red spiders. In feeding upon
the under surfaces of the leaves a
hronzing of the foliage occurs which
easily distinguishes the injury caused
by this spider tribe from other apple
troubles.
Where the infestaton is serious it
would be well to combine Black Leaf
at the rate of l-l200 with the arsenate
of lead in the next codling moth spray.
If the infestation is scattered here and
there throughout the orchard. the more
economical procedure in handling the
situation would be to mark and spray
the infested trees separately. A few
tanks in most cases would suffice.
Owing to the fact that the red spid-
ers feed on the under surfaces of the
foliage. the spray, to be effective, must
be directed from below in other words
