THE DESERT.
BY INIRI ZUMWAI4T.
Morning

Morning
A landscape wild and barren
With shadows flying west
AS mornings streaming banners
Rise DER the mountains crest.
A tide of amber sunlight
Flooding waste of sand
To where the walls of granite
oa In golden glory stand.
Noon
A waste of sand and cacti
Stretching far away
To where the hazy mountains
Rise from the desert gray.
An infinite desolation
Under a sky of brass
With never habtation
And never blade of grass.
A scorching sun in the zenith
Pouring its burning rays
Down on the sand and sage brush,
Down on the desert and haze.
Evening
An expanse of trackless desert
. Under fading sky,
The warmth of parting sunbeams
On eastern submits high.
The crimson glow of sunset
In the hay, golden west,
A Jagged wall of mountains
Where the day,beams sink to rest
Ger all a purple glory,
AS daylight slowly wanes,
Blending earth and heaven,
Softening rock and plain.
Night
A dream of death and darkness
In the twilight's fading bars,
A vastness and silence
Under the solemn stars.
And in the gathering shadows
Thoughts that have no word
Of the wide and silent desert
And the mountains earthquake stirred.
Of the mountains hory headed
That have stood while ages fled,
Of the desert vast and silent
And its secrets strange and dread.

Labor Shortage Presents Problem

The shortage of labor is already
creating a problem for Hood River
orchardists. With an insufficient num-
ber of men available to conduct or
chard work, district road supervisors
declare that they find it almost impos.
sible to secure men to work on roads.
The shortage of orchard workers
will be intensified when Twelfth Co.
is called to mobolize. Practically all
of the members of the company are
actively employed either on ranches or
in the mercantile establishments of
the city. Tentative plans are already
under way to organize the working
forces of the valley and business men
and orchadists alike are planning on
spending more hours per day at work.
The rule of working from sun up till
sundown will be put into effect.
When the strawberry season comes
on young women and school children
of the community will take greater
part than ever in any former year.

center lights joined together with
crepe paper streamers of the different
class colors, then from each light
streamers coming to the center Of the
hall, with pennants attached to the
ends.
In the center of the stage large
American Flag was hung. The sophs

the fine and original method of decor
ating.

served as refreshments. Everyone
said it was the best party given this
