STUDENTS, MERCHANTS
HELP PICK APPLES

CLOSED. everybody gone to pick ap-
ples."
Such was the placarded notification
on the front door of every Hood River
business house yesterday afternoon.
when every store and every shop closed
it's doors. proprietors, clerks and book
keepers joining the army of laborers
who are hurrying to get the appes of
the Hood River valley under cover be-
fore bad weather sets in. All business
houses will be closed after IL o'clock
today and tomorrow, as we'll as yester-
dy. The same program will be fol-
lowed next week if necessary. In
charge of only enough persons abso.
lutely necessary to conduct the busi-
nesses. local stores will be opened dur
ing the morning hours.
Beginning yesterday and continuing
as long as the need for harvest labor
lasts. the high school will be closed in
order that its $50 students may assist
in saving the apple crop.
/: The apple crop will exceed prehar-
vest estimates by 100000 boxes, and
for the first time in the history of the
valley the tonnage this year will ex-
ceed the 100000 box figure. The
brilliant sunshine and cold frosty nights
of the past 10 days have caused all
fruit to mature simultaneously, and
never in the valleys history has the
need for pickers been so acute. c. B..
Green. in charge of the government
employment bureau here. says that he
has had calls for over 200 men in one
day. although no supply was at hand.
A heavy rain and wind storm would
cause the valley heavy loss at this
time by blowing the mature fruit from
the trees.
The action of the merchants in clos.
ing their stores and the school board
in shutting down the high school fol.
lowed a'petition from representative
growers.
The amateur business and student
harvest hands will be paid three cents
per box, the regular wage for pickers.

KREISLER IN LEAD
ViOlinist Holds First Place
Among Topeka Music Lovers.
Schumann.Heink Retains Her
Old-Time Popularity.

That Kreisler is Topeka's foremost
musical idol is conclusively SHOWN py
the results of the preliminary an
nouncement of Dean Whitehouse's
artists SERIES Advertisements giving
a list of twenty artists out of which
the dean will make up his concert Sc
ries, were printed in the State journal
Wednesday evening, with the requests
that the favorities in each class pc
marked and mailed to him. Fac
SMILES of the ad were passed out
at the concert given Wednesday eve
ming by Signor Guidi and Hugh
Dickerson. More than 400 replies
were received and the above list shows
the standing of the musical artlstS III
TOpeka's favor.
Communications were still coming
in this morning at Washburn college
and this noon at the chapel exercises
the Washburn students were given a
chance to indicate their musical favor
ties.
That Schumann-Heink still retains
her popularity was shown by the fact
that three-fourths of the votes in her
class were for her. Seventy persons,
however, expressed a desire to hear
Madame Culp, a contralto, who is
taking the east by storm.
Surprising interest was taken in the
announcement of Mrs. Edward Nc
Dowell widow of Americas foremost
composer, as a possibility on the
course. Altho critics rank Mrs. Nc
Dowel1 high as to her ability as
pianist, her appearance before the
public has been comparatively recent.
There is chance that Leopold
Godowsky may be included in the
course. A communication was re-
ceived by the manager of the Austrian
pianist expressing a desire to give n
concert here some time in the early
part of the winter.
Tomorrow and the first part of next
week a thoro canvass of the city is TO
be made by mail and telephone and
the announcement of the concerts will
probably be made the latter part of
the week.
