discovered that members of the recep-

supply of the popular beverage. Not
a drop of cider was available at the
plant Of the Hood River Apple Vinegar
Co., and no apples were at hand for
pressing.
Someone. however. thought of the
cider mill Of c. A. Hage. of Mosier.
and to the neighboring district must
go the honor of furnishing Mr.. Bryan
with the delicious beverage. En- route
to Portland on an early train Saturday
morning NJ. Hage brought the cider to

Porter Expects Clean Crop

J. C. Porter, director of the Apple
Growers Association and pioneer in
the commercial orchard industry here,
expresses the belief that the 1919 apple
crop will be the ceanest ever harvest
ed by Hood River growers. While Mr..
Porter does not believe that the crop
will reach the 1000, 600 box mark, as
recently estimated in the government /
forecast, he says the size of the fruit
may develop to such an extent, as the
growing season continues, as to bring
the tonnage above expectations.
On his own East Side orchards Mr..
Porter is expecting crop ot 10, 600 tC

Clipped Here and There

From earliest records we have the
evidence that apples were regarded as
the most desirable of all fruits and, in
consequence. they frequently played
the part of tempter and bIibe. Satan
himself could think of no more potent
appeal to Eve than the apple of Eden,
and with an apple Eve enticed Adam
to his fall Since that day even the
greenest of apples. have proven ire
sistible to small boys, spite of the dis
astrous consequences which overtake
them as surely as they did Adam.
We find the apple chosen as the fit
ting prize for beauty when Paris made
his famous award to Venus and, in
spite of her astounding loveliness. she
had to offer him beautiful wife to
get it. What apple-lover does not
sympathize with Ataanta, the Arcadl-
an princess who was so fleet of foot
that, wishing to remain unwed, she
consented to marry the man who
should outrun her. Her cousin, Milan
ion, despaired of distancing her in the
race, but she was fair and he was willy.
What would tempt her most powerful
ly? All, ha he would scatter apples
upon the sands of the shore where she
made her get away; and Atalanta
stopped to pick up the luscious fruit
and Milanion passed ahead of her.
So we see three very famous ladies'
Eve, Venus and Atalanta yielding to
the allure of the apple. In more mod
ern times fourth distinguished wom-
an was added to the number when Ar.
thur Stevenson, American minister to
the court of st. James, presented
Queen Victoria with some fine Abe
marie Pippins. We should not dream
of lnsinuating that this was bribe,
but certain it is that these Virginia
apples so tickled the royal palate that
the queen had the import tax on apples
removed and since that time England
has been the principal export market
for American apples.
Thus history shows the power of ap-
pies, the wise man today raises many
and good apples are power in the
land. American Fruit Grower.

FIVE REDLECS
FORMERLY WITH
THE WHITE SOX
Roush, Rath and "Hod" ElIer Were
Dropped by Chicago After Tryout.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-It is a singular
coincidence that five members OF the
Cincinnati Nationals formerly wore the
uniforms of the White Sox-the team
they are to play for the worlds base
ball championship.
Eddie Roush, star batter and outfield-
err with the Reds, was with the White
Sox for a tryout under the manage
ment of Jimmy Callahan in 1913. but
was released to Lincoln. Morris Eath,
the Reds second baseman also was
with the White Sox under Callahan.
He was released to the Kansas City
club where he came to the front as a
300 hitter He was signed by Cincin-
natl last season-and made good from
the start.
"Hod" E,ller, who has been pitch
ing remarkable ball for the Reds was
on the White Sox roster during the
spring training trip of 1916. but was
released to the Molino club of the
Three-I- League. Ellen started his pro-
fessional career in the Three-I-League,
which also produced Clarence Rowland.
whom Kid Gleason succeeded as
manager of the White Sox. Rowland
was the first to recognize Eller's ma
jor league possibilities and gave him
a chance to qualify in fast company.
While the team was in training at
Mineral Wells, Texas, Eller "palled''
with Dave Danforth' and other pitch
ers, and picked up a lot Of valuable
information. His rise to baseball fame
with the Reds has been rapid. Like
Eddie Cicotte, one of the pitching stars
of the White Sox, Eller's best year
previous to this season was in 1917. He
won ten out of fifteen games. He has
been one of the pitching mainstays of
the Reds staff this season.
The Sox-. also contributed two more
players TO the Reds, concerning whom
little is heard. They are Henry Schrei-
Der, utility infielder, who was with the
Chicago club in 1914, and Artemus
Ward Allen, a catcher, who was with
ComiSkey'S club for a short time in

CITY OF Conventions
IS COLUMB|A'S TITLE
Guest List of Gatherings Has
Given 1t Right to Bear
This Name.
CITY is ACCESSIBLE
University and Other Schools
Also Serve to Make This
an Ideal Center.

Columbia, it would seem, has full
right to cling to her tihe, "the city OF
conventions" and no one, if he will
glance over the list of gatherings
which have met here in 1919 and are
scheduled to meet here jim the future,
will be likely to deny this city her
right to such title.
Already this year Columbia has
been the seat of nine state and district
conventions. These conventions have
brought to this city a total of nearly
1.500 delegates.
The first convention of the year was
gathering of the state officials OF the
Y.MCA in April. The Missouri Flu
neral Directors met in May and were
followed by gathering of the under
takers. Other conventions meeting
here were the Missouri Press Asso-
citation: Boone County Bankers; Dis
trict Dentists Association: Missouri
Old Trails Association; and the Re-
bekahs and the Missouri Farmers.
Besides the regular Farmers Week
given by the College of Agriculture
each January and the Journalism
Week each May, when the editors of
the state meet at the School of Jour
nalism. there are already scheduled
in Columbia number of state and
district conventions for 1920.
This number includes the Elks' state
convention the second week in June,
the Rural Mail Carriers the first week
in August and the Gideons the first
week in October.
Three Causes for City's Popularity.
The three things which perhaps
contribute more than anything else to
draw conventions to Columbia are: its
the University and other well-known
schools. and the ample accommoda-
tions which are obtainable here at
reasonable prices.
One requisite of convention city
is that it must be easily accessible or
equally accessible for all the dele
gates. Columbia is not far from the
geographic center of Missouri. which
in itself is one of the central states
of the United States.
The University and the other
schools of Columbia are not only
drawing cards for conventions, be-
cause of the fact that every taxpayer
would like to see the institution
which takes each year certain per-
centage of his taxes, but because the
activities of the schools are so nu-
merous that they furnish one of the
diversions from the regular business
meetings of the conventions.
Accommodation Good.
Columbia has built for herself a
hotel which is able to take care OF
the guests of the conventions. The
Daniel Boone Tavern has at times
comfortably accommodated $50 guests
and, in case of necessity, could pro
vide food and lodgings for greater
number than that
I've can always accommodate s
larger number of women delegate:
than men," F. W. Leonard, manager
of the Daniel Boone Tavern said
Women as rule are more willing tt
double up and share their rooms will
other delegates than the men are ant
in that way we can get along better.

ditorium furnish large enough seat
