 June caught her wristbag and gloves from the desk and, signaling to Gordon to follow her, unlocked the outer office door and slipped into the corridor.

 Alabama and Cuba-The Island of Cuba is five-siXths the size of the state or Alabama and contains probably half million more population. Cuba is known as one of the garden spots of the world, and yet Alabama's cotton crop of S100,- 100000, and grain and miscellaneous crops totaling another $100, ,000, 900, com pare very favorably with Cuba's sugar and tobacco. If Alabama's mining and industrial products are taken into con- sideration, the total is probably larger for Alabama than for all Cuba--at least that is the way 1t looks to a casual observer without the time or inclina- tion to look up the statistics on the subject.
 Lawns-It is said that grass lawns were entirely unknown in Cuba until General N ood began his wonderful work on the island. He experimented with various grasses and has obtained a mixture which does pretty well, if it is kept watered. They are being much q fected by the wealthy Cubans, and some of the yards would compare favor ably with any of those in the states. All of the new houses in the Vadado district have pretty yards in the rear, as well as the front.

NICKELSEN OUT;

After a conference of party men in

city, made formal announcement of his

from Hood River and Wasco counties
on the Republican ticket. Mr.. Nickel

GOOD INVESTMENTS

A high water mark has been reached
this year in the investment by orchard
lists in power spraying machines. Dur.
ing the past few weeks one dealer has
sold 20 power sprayers and another re-
ports 10 sales. The total investment
so far in power sprayers will reach ap.
proximately $4,000. The first spray
ing of fruit trees will soon begin. and
the sentire valley will take on an odor
of sulphur. Because of the unusally
wet and snowy winter many orchard,
lists are behind with pruning. The
growers, however, state that when
time for spraying approaches. the
pruning will be discontinued and all
efforts made toward producing a clean
crop of apples for the cominglsesson.
A feature of these investments that
is interesting and particularly crafty.
ing is that many of the spraying ma.
chine purchases. as has been pointed
out by D. Mcdonald, have been made
by nonresident owners of orchards.
1t shows that these owners put faith
in the future prospects of the business
and that they are willing to assist the
community in maintaining its reputa'
tion for the best apples.

SharD.Carter

The wedding of Geo. II. L. Sharp, of
Boston. and Mrs. Mabel Carter was
solemnized quietly at high noon Satur-
day at Canonchez. the home of the
brides parents, on Brookside Drive.
Rev. A. E. Macnamara, pastor of st.
Marks Episcopal church, officiated.
The maid of honor was Miss Bertha
Canon, of Portland. MIR. Sharp was
accompanied by Dr. A. S. Esson, of
The Dalles. The big living room of
Canonchez was artistically decorated
with banks of spring flowers.
Following the wedding Mr.. and Mrs.
Sharp left for Portland, where they
will spend two weeks at the Hotel
Benson. Later they will leave for an
extended stay in San Francisco. In
the autumn they will leave for Boston,
where they will be at home.
MIR. Sharp is representative of New
England wool interests. The wedding
comes from romance begun last year
when Mr.. Sharp met Mrs. Carter at
The Dalles, where she has been resid-
ing for the past two years. Mrs. Car
ter formerly lived in:Portland, having
taught for time at st. Helen's hail.
Out of town guests at the wedding
we're: Mr.. and Mrs. Walter F. Cook
and two daughters, Misses Margaret
and Betty. and Mr.. and Mrs. G. B.
Baker, of Portland: Mr.. and Mrs. Vic
tor Marden, DR.. and Mrs. A. S. Esson,
DR.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Lowe and Judd
Fish, of The Dalles.

comparison. Up to this date condi-
tions, facilities and small membership
has handicapped US in every conceiva-
BILE way. Our results, however, have
been convincing. Our service to our
growers has been appreciated, and the
future is very bright for our organiza-
tion.
Besides handling Strawberries in car
loads this year. we estimate tonnage
of 300 cars of apples. We have ample
facilities to take care of this tonnage,
and we are certain we will be in the
position to give our members better
service, better results and decrease
in charges.
We have a small warehouse at OdelI,
from which we handled 5000 boxes.
The total cost of handling these Odell
apples was thlee-fourths of cent per
box. Under ordinary circumstances
those apples would have been shipped
direct east, and saved not only a hand
ling charge at Hood River but also
saved the growers the freight. AS it
was, we were able to make consider
able saving by billing what extra fan
cies we had direct east.
Our total handling charge for the
season is 10 cents. Growers will ap-
preciate the fact that our new increased
facilities incurred heavy cost the
first year, and this, added to the very
small tonnage, makes a heavier charge,
although we have kept within our
maximum.
Another feature which our growers
want to bear in mind is that they have
been getting a full line of supplies at
a lower cost than ever before. This
means much. lowering the cost of pro-
duction, and should be taken into ac-
| count in the seasons returns.
We have shipped everything. with
the exception of 1900 boxes of special
Newtowns, which are mostly FIVE tier,
and are being worked off in small lots.
All money has been received, and
pools closed, with the exception of
Newtowns. which we are endeavorlng
to have closed and distributed before
the end of our fiscal year. April 80, at
which time q full statement of the
years business will be issued to every
| member.
The following are the returns for
season, all charges and commissions
having been deducted, leaving these
| figures net cash to the grower:
Spitzenburgs. extra fancy $l.55.

MARCH WINDS

Golfers Weekly has an editorial
writer, who is possessed of great
deal of authentic information. He can
turn his versatile thoughts and ply his
versatile per- anent politics or the care
of babies at will, and he oft sings in
prose of the wonders of flowers. Re-
Gently he touched upon the March
winds of our broad domain of Uncle
Sam. They are as varied as the tenn
permanent of men. Golfers says:
In southern California they have a

No wonder they have some freaksh

Harvard College for three centuries.

tween Port land lumber mills and those
of the Willamette valley and the Hood
River valley, the Portland Chamber vt
Commerce has made a serious mistake.
II the Chamber of Commerce we're q
Portland institution, organized for the
purpose of promoting Portland indus
tries and no others. then some excuse
might exist for the Chambers resolu-
tions and activities in favor of the
Portland lumber men. But the Cham
ber of Commerce, as We understand 1t,
is an Oregon organization. And be-
cause of this it should be as ready to
promote the industries of Hood River
as those of Portland. In fact, this
should be the case, even though II
we're organized for Portland's interest
alone, for the welfare of the entire
state will have a direct influence or
the metropolis city.
As the Oregon Voter has we'll said:
A rate fight between lumber mills in
the same territory should be decided or
its merits. without big city CONNER
cial organization showing partisanshiI
for either conflicting interest.
We would like to cite to the Portland
Chamber of Commerce a parallel case
here in our own Commercial club,
when in 1918. with lack of foresight
the local club participated in recall
election. Such activities were without
the pale of a commercial organization.
and grave disruptions naturally fol
lowed.
By taking up the fight of some of
the business men, who are its men,
bers, against those of other business
men. also its members, the Portland
Chamber of Commerce is crippling its
efficiency as a source of much good CO.
operative boosting for the entire state.

RASH TALK

A. D. Stillman, father of the Mon
tana farm loan laws, who was here
Saturday to deliver an address to local
ranchers is very serious minded man
and he is engaged in worthy task. that
of making possible better financial con-
dtions for ranchers. MIR. Stillman's
hard work. judging from his state
ments, has borne fruit. and his fellow
Montana rancbers are enjoying the
fruits of his toll in five per cent long
time loans. Oregon men are particu-
larly interested in MIR. Stillman's talks,
for all fair minded Oregonians will ad-
NIT that Oregon is in need of some
adequate system of rural credits.
Because he has been through the mill
of establishing loan laws for his own
state, Mr.. Stillman should be able to
give US some good advice. But we
would warn him against some of his
rash talk. Mr.. Stillman says that one
VA tue piIst ~oIhS VI IuoSc ChucdNoiibk
to secure farm loans for Montana was
the task of eliminating suspicious. Mr..
Stillman. himself. is possessed of an
uncalled for suspicion of bankers.
Maybe. his Montana bankers are differ
ent from the average Oregon bankers.
And the Montana man makes seri-
Gus mistake in his analysis of Oregon
bank statements. In his speech Satur-
day Mr.. Stllman took the statement of
certain bank, and by his analysis the
bank was made to earn net 63 per
cent income on its investment. MIR.
Stillman's careless statements overshot
the facts, and such speeches tend to
give his otherwise sound talk the sem
blance of professional agitation.
Under the restrictions that are i'm
posed on them, banks cannot carry
ranchers on long time loans at low
rates of interest. and some system of
cheaper money over long periods is
needed. But northwestern banks, we
are sure, have been of the greatest as
sistance to fruit growers, in carrying
them over the stringencies of harvest
time. Only few weeks ago c. W.
Moomaw. of the Office of Markets of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, who was here telling orchard
lists of the plans of the Fruit Growers
Agency, Incorporated, said:
"You may have heard some SPELL
binder telling you of the ideal condi-
tiOns that exist in European countries
for borrowing money. | want to tell
you that none of our investigators have
ever found anything to exceed the
manner in which your northwestern
banks finance growers, through your
associations. You secure money on
