BARREL SHIPMENTS
OF APPLES PLANNED

Ten thousand barrels of apples are
to be shipped from the Pacific north
west in barrels this year as the result
of the entry into this field of an east
ern concern, the Price-Smith-Willman
Company, of st. Joseph, Mo. This
will be the first time that apples have
been shipped from the northwest in
barrels and will be the first time that
other than the first class apples have
been sent east of the Rocky mountains
from this section.
The plan for shipping large quanti-
les Of the No. 2 ana No. 3 apples,
which are good in quality, although
small in size, is due to the demand ir
eastern markets this year for the
northwest fruit.
Shipments by the Missouri concern
are to be made from Goldendale, Lyle
and White Salmon and possibly from
other sections.
Barrels for the handling of the ship
NETS are being turned out by the
Western Cooperage Company's plant
in Portland at the rate of a carload a
day. The barrels are made of the
Douglas fir timber and are constructed
by hand with view TO turning out a
first class article.
l.. G. Holbrook, sales manager in
the keg and barrel department of the
cooperage company. said be was ad-
vised that the Missouri concern intends
to handle large shipments of the
Northwest apples annually in the
future.

DAN WUILLE & co.
MAKES SUGGESTION

sThe following warning against al
lewing apples to remain in the hot sun
in the orchards has just been issued by
Dan Wuille q Co.:
"Mr. Wuille, Of London, England,
who is the head Of this company, is
visiting this district, and has observed
in driving over the valley that picked
fruit is left standing in the sun in box
es in the orchard. This practice, MIR.
Wuille advises, is very detrimental to
the keeping qualities and market value
of the fruit. The fruit should be
moved to cover as quickly as possible
after picking and should be left, in no
case, over night in the orchards when
il is cooled and subjected to hot sun
the next day 1t is therefore advisable
that apples should not be exposed to
the sun for any great length of time
after being pulled from the trees.
1.-The Department of Agriculture.
under the authority Of the Pure Food
and Drugs Act has advised that fruit
covered with spray will not be allowed
on the market, and will be condemned
when found. Il is therefore necessary
to remove this spray from apples be-
fore packing. "

to the board of police commissioners,
Chicago, says, in the Detective, Febru-
airy, 1921, that the neighborhool gossip
and the anonymous letter writer have
one of the nastiest, lowest and most
vicious forms Of insanity known to
medical circles. Their distorted imag-
nation visualizes scenes which they
would have come true, and their in
sane mind Immediately grasps the

Ancient Egyptian Grandeur.

OF all conquests Of Alexander the
Great, Egypt enjoyed the earliest and
most lasting prosperity. AS soon as
Ptolemy. the son of Lagus, had re-
gained possession Of this country 1t
resisted the attempts Of others by the
advantages of its natural situation.
Ptolemy had a moderation in his dis
position which restrained him from
meddllng with affairs in which he was
obliged to venture too much. He soon
acquired the reputation Of equity and
gentleness by which he gained the ia
vor of the people and the confidence
Of other kings. About 284 B. @. Egypt
became the chief seat Of the sciences
Of Greece during the reign Of Ptolemy
PhIladelphus. The grandeur displayed
by this prince in architecture became
proverbial. He and his sons were pat
terms of wise and virtuous monarchs.
But the later Ptolemles did not con-
form themselves to such models.

EARLY METHOD OF COUNTING
System in Use Up to Some Six Cen
turtles Ago Was Primitive
to a Degree.

Multiplication, addition, subtraction
and division-common grades Of
schools today-were problems that
stumped the great majority of people
up until six centuries ago. Then
when numbers ran into three figures
or more the good peasants were
stumped, Multiplication was done on
the fingers-that Is, what was done.
When the sums got to be larger than
five times five, the corner saloon was
resorted to. Here the counter used
large checker board. Checker
boards grew to be the sign Of the
saloon.
When counting by hand, the counter
let the open hand represent the num-
Der FIVE; the hand with one finger
closed, six; with two fingers closed,
seven with three fingers closed eight,
and four fingers closed, nine. To null
tiply, he used one hand to represent
the multiplier, and the other the sum
to be multiplied.
The system Of counting on checker
boards was something similar to the
system Of counting on a Chinese
abacus or counting board.

FEW REAL BAD CHARACTERS
Mr.. eoslington Resents Attitude Die
played by Some Men Toward
Their Fellow Creatures.

There are men that we dislike at
sight; they have streak Of mean
ness or brutality or something that
we recognize instinctively; the best
we can do with them is to treat them
with civility. But there are not many
such; the vast majority of men have
good in them and are entitled to be
treated as brother men, writes "Mr.
Goslington" In the New York Herald.
| have no patience with the speak
ers l hear talking about protecting
the rights of our humblest fellow citi-
zens. There are no humble fellow
citizens; no man feels humble In his
heart and every man resents being
described or being considered as hum

humble business than we once did.
! feel that have much yet to learn !;
but / long since discovered that man
likes to be treated like man. He re-
sents any air of superiority or patron
age or condescension from anybody.
Poor though he may be and lacking
in what is called an education, he may
yet have In full measure the cardinal
virtues of self-respect and decency !;
he may truly be as good as anybody.
And long ago began to discover In
men high and low qualities most I'M
looked for.
You never can tell what any man

is as likely to dream dreams as the
banker. The poor man may be by ma
ture as refined as the rich man; and
barring the few men instinctively bru-
tai, who may be high or who may be
low, all men are entitled to be met
as men and to be treated with cOur-
tesy; not merely with kindness, but
with courtesy, which all men are
pleased TO receive and the lack Of
which all men resent.
OF this we may be sure, that as we
go through life we get what we give.
