4 FINE APPLE SHOW
REMARKABLE DISPLAY SHOWN
BY HERMAN HARRIS. e..

Herman Harris, who has a fine
bearing orchard located about four
miles west of Oskaloosa, has a rather
remarkable display of apples OF his
own raising in the Fritch & Hines
window on the north side. 1t Is an
object lesson of what spraying" will
do.
The orchard was planted by Mr..
Harris father many years ago and it
contains about every worth while
variety of apple known at the time of
planting, from the Maiden Blush"
an early fall variety, down to ike
Ben Davis" species that is just
now in it's prime. When Herman
came into possession of the orchard
it was. run down." had been neg
lected and was suffering from about
every i'll an orchard may know. Mr..
Harris was in quandary what to do
and invited in an expert. Even the
specialist was in doubt as to the out
come of treatment, but Mr.. Harris
decided to make the experiment, in
stead of cutting out the trees.
The orchard was pruned and spray
ed and it was not long before 1t gave
big returns upon the investment. Mr..
Harris through the instrumentality
of his crops has come to be a well
known horticulturist and an author
ity on apples and tree culture.
Last year was not an apple year
and yet Mr.. Harris had more than
two thousand bushels of splendid
fruit from his ten acres. The fruit
won prizes wherever shown.

waite organization, whose affiliation
with the government is purely honor
airy. 1t is supported by the contrlbu-
tions of patriotic Americans. They are
not as patriotic in this respect as the
Germans or the Japanese. At the be-
ginning of the European war it was
estimated that Germany had over 500
600 members in its Red Cross organic
alton, with 1856 base hospitals, 599
railway medical rooms and 52l con-
svalescent homes, while the Japanese
Red Cross society had over 2,OOa,OOo
members. We have to-day nearly
100000 members in our American Red
Cross, new building for its head
quarters, one completed base hospital
and few miscellaneous supplies.
Under these circumstances the so
ciety Is in the market for contribu-
Itions and services. No matter now

would be surprised to see what IL

ciety During the first year OF the
European war the American Red
Cross sent seventy.one surgeons, 253
nurses and forty-three members OF a
sanitary commission to the belliger
ents of Europe to help with the care
of the wounded. For many months
these physicians and nurses worked
valiantly among the stricken OF
France, Russia, Germany, Austria
Serbia and Belgium. Then, unfortun

And slams him in the Stats.

Ashland. Why did they come here

HOrnbr0Ok Houses
Return Hundreds

Hundreds of dollars in money or
ders, telegraph orders and other
forms were returned Saturday and
today by wholesale liquor houses at
Hornbrook to Oregon patrons who
failed TO get orders to the mail order
liquor houses before the bone-dry
law went into effect, according to
word from wholesalers this morning.
The Astor company reported getting
out all orders Friday in good shape
and has stopped shipping. The
wholesalers refuse any information
as to future plans, but declare their
intention is to abide by the law. The
manager of the Astor Wine Company
said; Oregon is bone dry and we
are through with it. We intend to
obey the law"
When questioned regarding the
possibility of fighting the law he said
he had no such intention and could
not fight it as the company existed
outside the state.
Two big mail order houses at
Hornbrook, the Astor Wine Company
and Mayer, Inc, are affected by the
closing down of the traffic into Ore
