Sidon, the metropolis of the ancient
Ph0enicians, was dominated first by
the Egyptians, but the yoke of the
Pharaohs was thrown off after which
the Assyrians ruled with heavy hand.
Later Phoenicia became a Roman
province. Greek culture had a shap-

ancients through period when clas-
sic history was shaping.

burg. Most likely, George Washing
ton never chopped down the cherry
tree. The manuscript division Of the
library of congress isn't sure about
the cherry tree episode, because
George didn't write letter about ii.
but ii holds documentary evidence re-
garding the other two illusions of our
school days. SO the history books that
we studied so trustfully were wrong.
The manuscript division has the two
original drafts of the Getty sburg
speech, one carefully written ON Off
cial White house stationery, partly in
pencil, and the other in ink, both dis
playing L!ncoln's well-known hand
writing. The first draft and the re-
vised copy differ slightly from the ad-
dress as it was finally delivered.
AS for the Declaration of Indepen.
dence, the official journal of the Con-
tinental congress for July 4, 1776,
shows that on that day congress adopt
ed the declaration by vote, but the
signing, which we make So much Of

of the members signed the document
a month later, while In 1881. five years
later, some other congressman who
were not in office in 1916 also added
their signatures, thereby gaining i'm

Apple Growers Association, which

Davidson Reports Little Buying

Apple speculation will be fairly we'll
eliminated from the 1920 deal, accord
ing to letter just received from Il
f. Davidson, who has been attending
the Chicago convention of the lnterna-
tional Apple Shippers Association.
He writes
"a have talked with growers and
shippers from all over the country and
most of them report good prospects
and fine quality. Apparently, however,
there is not much selling. and buyers
are Indifferent. They declare they will
wait until the harvest and then buy as
they need the fruit. Have only heard
of few sales. but buyers and sellers
no doubt will get together later. Buy
ers who lost heavily on early purchases
of last year are still depressed. The
increased freight rate is not cheering
them any.
Cooper stock fer barrels is far
short of the demand in the east, and
all hands predict a heavy movement of
bulk apples. and this will nave an eff
feet on the barrel and box apple con-
sumption for October and November. F."
Mr.. Davidson, who left Chicago for
New York city. will arrive home about
August %. He declares the Chicago
convention very well attended, and ex-
presses the belief that the conference
between prominent shippers and grew
ers will result in good.

VALLEY APPLES
GROWING FAST
HARVEST COMING AT NORMAL TIME
GrOwerS viii Begin Picking Pears and
Early Apples Latter Part of Month
Main Harvest October |

: Growing weather of the past several
weeks results in indications that the
Hood River pear and apple harve t
VIII begin about the normal time this
year, although summer began with
fruit far later than usual because of
the long continued cold weather of
spring Shipping concerns are now ex-
pectlng the pear harvest to begin about
the Latter week in August. King and
Gravenstein apples will also be har-
vested about this time.
The pear crop will be handled chiefly
by the Association which will follow
the usual custom of hauling the pears
directly from the orchards to refriger-
ated rooms, where they will be packed
under refrigeration. The near crop is
not over 45 per cent of that of last
year, when the Association shipped l.3
carloads of the fruit.
The main harvest of apples will not
begin, it is said, until about October !.
Growers state that no outside help will
be needed to harvest pears, and tran.
sient pickers will not be needed to any
extent until October. Wages ranged
from six cents per box to cent or two
more last season for both picking and
packing. No schedule of wages has
been announced this year, but it is not
anticipated that any increase will be
paid. Fruit is of uniformly large size
this year, and both pickers and packers
will be able to earn more per day.
The Apple Growers Association will
hold its annual packing school some
time about the middle of September.
Efforts will be made to train more
packers to give more care TO their work
this season. Inspection, too, shippers
state. will be very rigid.
According to letter just received
from Miss Aida G.. Bowler. a large
party of Seattle professional women

pie harvest seasan on vacation.
