Putting the Blame on Noah.

A tablet believed to be 1900 or 5000
years old and to antedate the book of
Genesis by 1000 years sets forth, ac.
cording to the translation Of DR..
Steven Langdon of Oxford university.
England, that 1t was Noah and not
Adam and Eve who brought about the
fall OF man. Noah was commanded
not TO eat Of the cassia tree in the gar.
den of paradise, the translation has Il,
and when he disobeyed the curse Of III
health and an early death instead of
life span of $4,000 years like that of
his ancestors, fell on him. According
TO Babylonian and Sumerian accounts,
the flood occurred about $4,000 years
before Christ, and the period between
that catastrophe and creation-432 600
years-was filled in by ten kings, so
that each must have ruled something
like 1920 years. The comparatively
short reigns of later kings is explained
as being the result OF Noah's sin in eat.
ing Of the cassis tree.

BETTER APPLES AT HOME

II is noted in this weeks Glacier
that the Apple Growers Association
plans to exploit the markets Of central
Oregon and other parts of the state
with some of the best apples. And why
should not home folks eat more Of the
best of their product? In times past
any old fruit has been shipped to the
nearby markets. and II may be that some
of our neighbors have reached the
conclusion that we could not grow good
apples.
Certainly, Bend and all the other
towns of eastern and central Oregon
should be given an opportunity to buy
of our extra fancy Spitzenburgs and
Newtowns. Nor should we forget to
attempt to sell some of our finest fruit
at home. Local consumers would eat
less oranges, perhaps. The local hotels
should serve the best. And we under
stand that the Hotel Oregon has made
1t q practice to serve at its tables the
finest Hood River extra fancies.

The Osvil's Bibls.

The devils Bible is In the Royal Pal
ace library OF Stockholm, Sweden. II
Is huge copy Of the Scriptures, writ
ten upon 300 prepared asses skins.
One tradition declares that 1t took 500
years, or from the eighth to the thir-
teenth century, to make the copy,
which Is SO large that 1t has table
to itself. Another tradition afirms
that the work was done In single
night by a monk with the assistance
of his satanic majesty, who, when the
work was completed, gave the monk a
picture OF himself for the frontispiece,
where. amid Illuminated ineantations,
1t Is still to be seen; hence the name.

Slogan-Making.

(New Haven JournaI-Courier.
 The offer of the national suffraga 1 workers of a $25 prize for the best five-Word slogan has brought to mind
 a whole raft of successful slogans
 ''The Full Dinner Pail'' was the in spiration of one who understood well the psychology of the crowd
 Millions For Defense likewise
 showed that he who would, coin sIo-
 gans must know the popular mind
 upon which the words must impignn
 Free Soil, Free Thought. Free
 Speech, Free Men'' went because there was national appeal there ''Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too supplies another of. the many historical in
 stances of what the elusive slogan can do when captured The suffra
 gists know for what they appeal when they turn to the general public in the hope of gathering in 8 slogan which will give their cause the pop ular impetus which they apparently think it needs. Just how successful they will be in striking fire is open to doubt. It is not improbable that among the citizens of New Haven who have had experience in slogan making, there may be one who will give the suffrage advocates what they think they, want. Personally. we re- gret that the inducement is not greater. Slogan making calls for an incentive perhaps somewhat in ex- cess of the amount here stipulated. We wish earnestly that the added incentive were there. Under the cir cumstances our best. effort to date has been, employing the five words allowed, no more, no less:-" Eve bir. Let her vote.' Which. while we are quick to see it's inadequateness, seems to us to. have something of the qual- ity by which the acceptable slogan should be marked .-
