Monarch's Hobby 10 Botany,

King Ferdinand Of Bulgaria is said
to have one redeemlng virtue. He Is
considered the best botanist In eastern
Europe. At his summer residence
Just under Musalla, the highest peak
of the Rhodope range, he has, or used
to have, wonderful rOck-garden
where not only Alpine and sub-Alpine
plants are grown, but even representa-
tive specimens from England, as well
as many rare native Bulgarian noun
tain plants. These last have peculiar
scientific interest. for, while some Of
them are mere varieties of Carpathian
or Alpine types, others correspond
closely TO those Of the Caucasus and
Asiatic hlghlands--thus dating from
period before the two continents
were divided by the Dardanelles-,
while few others, like the lovely Bull
garan gentian, are indigenous flowers
not found elsewhere. But summer
succeeds so quickly to the time of
melting SHOWS that the full glory of
spring flowers on the RhodOpe range
Is seldom seen except by the sEep-
herds of the mountain pastures.

An OPPORTUNITY

We will wager that every old 5. A.
T. Z. or Officers Training Camp man
who hears that Colonel Leader will
speak here at the high school and at
the Pine Grove institute will begin at
once to make preparations 10 hear him.
Tney will be drawn by his rare person
siity, which they have come TO know
through their military work at the
University of Oregon.
Col. Leader could hardly be other
than interesting. Born in India in the
Himalya mountain district at one of
the highest habitable places Of the
world, he WAS reared in Ireland, reared
in family rich in traditions. He was
in the Boer war. He has been Chinese
interpreter through knowledge Of
that intricate language gained from
personal contact with the Orientals.
He has been in Siberia. In fact, he
knows most of the we'll known as we'll
ss the out Of the way places Of the
world.
Col. Leader was living with his wife
and two boys. one mere babe, when
the great war broke over the world.
He answered the call at once, and has
played magnificent part. Wourd:
received at the battle of the Somme
have incapacitated him from active
service on the battlefront, but that did
not dim his ardor. and his work at the
University Of Oregon has been luvalu'
able to the cause of the Allies.
He will have a message worth the
attention Of any loyal citizen.

He often said that he loved Hood

the Hood River Valley Of pioneer
days, just as orchards were coming
into their own here, when he wrote
the following:
Bloom of apple and orchard trees.
Scent Of clover and hum of bees;
Spreading oak and towering pine,
BillowiDg wheat and climbing vine
Thinking brook by wild rose traced

Grove and glen, sun and shade,
Fairest of lands that God has made.
Far as the gladdened eye can see

Mountains that keep eternal guard;
Pillars Of flame in the morning sun
Pointing Paradise lost and won:
Where sundown sleeps with her ban.

would be strange allies whose hearts

ALL SORTS OF AFFLUENCE
Great Mistake to Get the Idea That
Wealth Consists Only In Posses
sion OF Money.

Riches and money have been com.
monty but mistakenly synonyms. A
mother with a group Of children may
consider these her jewels, albeit by a
bank examiners rating she would be
poorer than Jobs turkey. A man with
houses and lands may be destitute In
human affections eddying round his
chair and table, and SO in life's para
mount values the balancing Of the ac-
count shows deficit, though under
the dollar sign he may be able to fig-
ure fortune.
Each soul selects the sort of affiu.
ence 1t prefers, observes a writer in
the Philadelphia Ledger. You may
choose that you will gain the whole
world, no matter what becomes Of the
spirit. Years after 1t will be sad
thing to see the gross materialist you
have become. You may be stated with
the pleasures Of the senses, but you
have missed the best things life has
to offer. You may be the chief target
for the income tax collector, but the
children of the region do not love you.

Napoleon Still Points Way.

almost removed it from the earth, one
building has tower standing un-
touched. A platform tops this tower
and miniature figure Of Napoleon
stands there facing and pointing
toward the positions held by the Ger
mans.
Thousands Of shells have whizzed
and exploded by this tower, but none
has touched the tower or the figure
of Napoleon pointing northward.
Thousands Of Americans. thousands Of
trucks, quantities Of guns and am
munition and supplies have rolled over
the main street by this figure point
ing the way to the bOche during the
past few weeks.
Everyone has marveled that the

poor people inside tremble. What new
horror were they up to now? The

Germans were gone. They had blown
up the bridges, burned few factories,

inhabitants believed there must be
