means this laborious performance OF
yours?' The reply intended for him
is to make him realize the meanness
and wickedness of his arrogant and
sneering aloofness. The question of
the supplemented is "What is
this" To him a brief straightfor
ward answer is given. AS to the
zone unable to ask an explanation
of the Passover must be volunteered
by telling him the story of the Exc
dus.
Such four types of men we en-
counter everywhere the wise man
who earnestly seeks knowledge and
desires instruction; the wicked one
who sneers and keeps aloof; the un-
sophisticated who is curious to
know; and the childlike to whom
instruction should be given unasked.
1t is needless to add that the four
classes exist among us Jews also.
Most curious and interesting of
all is the Had Gadya," meaning
Zone Kid" kind of nursery rhyme
with which the Haggadah closes.
1t was undoubtedly intended for the
entertainment of the children and is
modelled after we'll known nursery
rhymes of the same character and
content found in other literatures.

Polk county has already built first

MORE ABOUT SUMMER PRUNING
Prunes Should Be Pruned The First
Week in June.

"Pruning vigorous growing prune
trees the first week in June will give
the orchardist the advantage of two
years. branching in one year." said
Frank Brown, in commenting on Pro
fessor Browns pruning talk. by
cutting about six inches off the end
of the limb at this time, a double
growth of good strong branches is
secured. If the pruning is put off
until July or August, however, there
is less vigor in the side branches and
they do not mature up well to stand
the following winter. They are short
and shorter and weaker shoots branch
out from them, forming a regular
mass Of inferior branches, which de-
tract from the strength and bearing
qualities of the tree"
After the terminal or last buds are
formed on trees bearing or beginning
to bear, especially apple trees, Ju-
" or August pruning will tend to
force the sap down into the fruit
buds and make them npen, thus
bringing the tree into earlier bear
ing.

TRIES TO GET CANNERy
COMMERCIAL CLUB SHOWS AD-
VANTAGES IN DALLAS.
Libby, McNeill & Libby Contemplates
Locating Milk Evaporating Plant
and Fruit Canneries in Valley

Dallas Commercial club is trying
to get Libby, Mcneil & Libby to To-
cate a fruit cannery here in order
to provide reliable market for the
fruit growers of the county.
The firm has announced that some
where in the dairy and fruit dis
tricts tributary to Portland, presum-
ably in the Willamette valley, they
may build large milk evaporating
plant and two or three fruit canning
factories. ...- -.
The milk condensary will have ca
pacity of 10000 cases of evaporated
milk day. 1t will represent an in
vsstment of about $125,OO0. A force
of about 125 employees will be requlr-
ed for its operation. The cannel1es,
if established, will be in regions OF
Oregon where fruit of all sorts read
ily will be obtainable.
The local commercial club started
its campaign to get a fruit cannery
here last fall. The secretary cor
responned with the Libby officials at
The Dalles and Mrs. Winnie Braden

city to inspect the plant and inter-
est the firm in Dallas. The cannery

$500 acres planted to Italian prunes
around Dallas and that $500 acres OF
the best land in the county is now
planted to hops. which in all proba-
bility will be dug up and planted to
berries. sugar beets and fruit. Inc
correspondence went on to tell thai
small fruits such as Strawberries, To-
oanberries. evergreen blackberlies
raspberries, cherries, plums anc
prunes do unusually well here anc
that the nearest eannery is 10 miles
away, in Salem.
The reply said that the firm was
not contemplating building any can
ncries in Oregon at that time, bu'
that they would be pleased to receive
any crop statistics available anC
would keep Dallas in mind when thu
time came.

Lessons Learned by Divers

Experiments made by the Brit
ish admiralty and the United States
navy prove that deep sea diving is
feasible. 1t has been found that
the shorter the time a diver takes
in getting to the bottom the better.
because his body absorbs less nitro
gen. Also, the diver must have
at least one and one-half cubic feet
of air per minute at all depths.
Lacing the legs of the Divers suit
increases his stability and permits
him to come to an erect position
with ease. 1t also lessons the dam
