Chinese Lanterns.

Particularly gay and attractive are
the shops of the lantern venders in the
Chinese cities. All varieties Of Ian
terms are to be seen-the large silken
ones three and four feet high, gor-
geously painted with yariegated colors,
embroidered in gold and silver or dec
Grated with deep fringe Of the same
material costing from 500 to 5000 and
used by the wealthy mandarins and
others; and common small horn and
paper lanterns, used by the coolies,
which cost one-sixteenth Of a dollar.
The mode of making horn lanterns is
very ingenious; the horns are cut into
remarkably thin slices which, by means
Of heat and pressure, are joined to-
gether and formed into various shapes;
round, square, hexagon, octagon, and
some shaped to resemble an hour glass.

The old French word "tror

The old French word ''tr0mpe"
meant a pipe or tuba, and the term
trompe was applied to the apparatus
by which the blast is produced in the
Catalan forge. 1t is simple. effec-
tive and ingenious contrivance for
producing a continuous and equable
blast, but it's use is restricted to 10
calities where fall of water from q
height of several yards can be OBJ
tanned. The principle is that water
can be made to fall through pipe
in such way that 1t will draw in
through side openings considerable
amount of air, which by a simple and
ingenious arrangement can be utilized
as a constant current or blast, and
which has the merit Of costing almost
nothing. 1t has been utilized to linn
tied extent elsewhere than in the de-
partment of Ariege, in the South of
France, where it was formerly very
generally employed. Iron has been
made in that district for more than
600 years, but the use Of the trompe
blast was not introduced until the end
of the seventeenth century.

liberia IS REACHING OUT
Tribes Of That Country, II 10 Said, Are
Accepting the Teachings Of the
Missionaries.

Plenyono Gbe Wolo, a Liberian Of
the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co
iumbia university. says:
There never has been scientific
census Of Liberia, but the population
Is estimated at from 100000 to 5000
600. and not more than 1900 are
Americo-Liberians, the descendants OF
liberated slaves. The remainder be-
long to tribes which speak four differ
ent languages and after only nominal
submission to the government. The
krus elect their kings by the selection
Of the NEST available man of the coyal
house. In the Jarroway tribe the king
is an absolute monarch for the reign
Of six years, and is then put to death.
Other tribes also follow different Gus
toms.
The tribes do not acknowledge the
government of Monroyia, because they
feel that it does not protect them. BY
treaty the United States government
is required to help the Americo-Libe-
rians against the tribes, and in 1872
this country helped put down rebel
lion of the Krus.
The constitution of Liberia has a
hteracy test, which has heretofore ex-
Guided most Of the natives from yor-
Ing, as the central government is un-
able to undertake their education. The
Girbas are being taught by Episcopal
missionaries, and the Fulingos, WHO
are Mohammedans, are also gaining
the franchise. The Krus are very am
bilious and are also catching up. There
are more than so Liberians Of the ma
dive tribes studying in the United
States.

ARCHIE EASTMAN
VISITS IN JANEIR0

Mrs. j. O. Eastman, Of the Frank
ton district, has received letter from
Mrs. Carlock Hawk, wife of a mission
ary in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, who tells
of visits to their home of her son,
Archie Eastman naval man aboard the
U. S. S. Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Hawk wrote:
"While the Pittsburgh was without
a chaplain Mr.. Hawk went on board
every Sunday morning to speak to the
bows and | went along sometimes. In
that way we became acquainted with
number of the boys who have called
at our home. We enjoy having them
and they seem to like to come. Your
son is such nice young man, and we
are always glad to see him. He has
told me all about his mother and the
farm where you raise so many apples.
He said the other night:
When | was home | got very
tired of working, but now | wish had
the opportunity of stopping the hogs
and milking the cows.
"Of course you like all other mothers
are glad that the war is over. The

sent home, but Mr. Hawk and | will
miss them very much. They had an
epidemic of Spanish influenza on board

CORN GROWING
TO BE BOOSTED
FARMER SMITH WILL GIVE TALKS
County Produced Greatly Increased Yield
of Wheat but this is Expected TO
Decline in 1920

The Hood River Valley, which on
former years produced practically no
grains for cereal purposes, raised
total of nearly 20. 900 bushels last year,
about equally divided between wheat
and oats. With a heavier acreage Of
the coming year, the yield, il is ex-
pected, will be slightly increased.
After 1919 and the end of the guar
anteed price on wheat, it is likely that
orchardists will discontinue wheat pro.
duction Efforts will be made. how
ever, to stimulate a further interest in
corn growing In the county. One of
the aims of l.. b. Gibson, county school
superintendent, will be to have every
orchard place plant portion of its
land TO corn. Many hundreds of bush.
els of corn have been grown here in
the last three years. The most of it
has been used proftably in feeding
hogs, and it has been impossible TO
secure a correct estimate of the total
production.
In order to stimulate growers to
greater planting of corn, Mr.. Gibson
has arranged for a series of lectures
to be given here during the last week
in February by Farmer" {. l.. Smith,
agriculturist of the O-W r. & n. Co.,
whose distribution of free seed re-
suited in the first local enthusiasm for
the cereal. Mr., Smith will deliver
lectures at all rural districts
Six thousand bushels of the local
wheat crop of 1918 was purchased by
the Highland Milling Co., new plant
of which has just been erected at the
foot of State street. While the con.
cren, operated by j. c. Aplin and his
son. l.. b. Aplin, both experienced
millers, has been producing wheat
flour in accordance with the conserva-
tion rules of the Food Administration,
it is now engaged in erecting an addi-
tional unit which will house rollers for
the production of high class patent
flour.
The milling company is endeavoring
to create an interest among orchard
lists for the production of bnckwheat.
This cereal, it is said, will thrive on
waste lands, and the local yield is said
to be of high quality. The millers
wish to create home grown supply
for the manufacture of cereal hours.

UPPER VALLEY
SHIPPING CREAM

Five years ago the Upper Hood River
Valley, although at one time many
large herds of livestock were raised
there, had less than IL milch cows.
With much development work in pro-
gress, large crews Of men being EN-.
ployed, the community's milk and but.
ter bill reached large sum monthly.
On some months more than $500 would
be sent from the county for butter.
But counting from the summer of
1912. when orchardists of the district
held a cow meeting. which was ad-
dressed by Governor Wlthycombe, then
director of the Oregon Experiment
Station, cows have been on a steady
increase. Today every family of the
district is sending a cream can to the
Hood River creamery. While the orch
ardists and their ranch crews formerly
consumed hundreds of cases of con.
densed milk annually, their milk is now
produced at home.

Manila Buys More Fancy Fruit

Although the tonnage exceeded that
of 1917 by POO, 900 boxes, the Apple
Growers Association las? week sold
the last carload of the 1918 apple crop.
On the same date year ago, the CO.
operative sales agency had left unsold
$50, 900 boxes. Final sales of New.
towns were not consummated last year
until in March. This year final returns
of an approximate 81, 500, 900 will have
teen made to growers by that date on
pears and apples.
The total 1918 tonnage of the Hood
River valley reached l,l00. 900 boxes,
of which 1875, 900 boxes were handled
by the Association. While all fruit
has been sold, several carloads will be
held in local cold storage plants sub
ject to instructions from purchasers.
Jobbers in number Of cities purchase
their supplies early in the season, it is
said, and call for the fruit as it is

complaints that have been made by
Portland dealers, who claim that they
cannot get supplies of high quality
apples, which have all passed into the
hands of spectators, who are demand

we have been willing, and have SOLD
many carloads of apples, accepting q

storage. the balance being paid al
time of shipment. p"
On former seasons when the loca
tonnage was much lighter, the apple
crop, all sold to one or several large
dealers, was often disposed of at {
much earlier date. The present man

season will exceed those of any yea
since 1911.

UPPER VALLEY APPLES
INCREASING RAPIDLY

Many of the young orchards of the
Upper Valley have come into bearing
during the past year, and the yield of
fruit from that district showed an in
crease of more than 25 per cent for
1918. More than 100000 boxes of
apples were shipped from Parkdale.
Of this number $4,000 boxes were
handled through the community pack
ing house maintained by the Apple
Growers Association The Lava Bed
Orchard Co. shipped 1900 boxes, and
heavy shipments were made by Dan
Wuille & Co.
The young orchards will increase
their yield rapi! !ly for several years,
and next season it is expected that
Parkdale warehouse facilities will have
to be increased.

COUNTY WORRIED
OVER ROCK SUPPLY

One of the chief worries of the
county court at present is the supply
of crushed rock for surfacng high
ways the coming year. Suggestions
and information concerning available
quarries has been called for.
The county, until heavy motor trucks
came into general use, found gravel,
huge deposits of which are convenient
for West Side distribution, excellent
for road surfacing. With the light
travel of passenger automobiles and
horsedrawn vehicles. the gravel, mixed
with clay, formed commendable high
ways. The gravel-clay roads. however,
do not stand up under the heavy motor
trucks.
