ENDS SHOULD Be VARNISHED
Agricultural Department Tells How
to Prevent Door From Sticking
on Damp Days.

A door which sticks to the frame
every damp day Is not conducive to
unruffled feelings on the part Of those
who use it. The forest products lab

ment of Agriculture ut Madison, Wis.,,
has made public method which obvi-
ates the difficulty. =: .5''
. Wood specialists there say that the
fact that the top and bottom edges
of door are practically always left
unfinished is largely responsible for
Sits troublesome habit of swelling and
shrinking. The exposed ends Of the
vertical stiles give the most bother,
because wood picks UP or gives of
moisture more rapidly through sur
faces cut across the grain than
through those cut parallel to the
grain. ..-t''.. ... .rsrs=t .<>s-. Is

shut easily and fit tightly, 1t is Inn

door, after 1t is hung, the freshly ex-
posed surface should be retlnished at

APPLES FROM ANCIENT TREE
Said to Have Been Planted Ninety
Five Years Ago, 1t Still Bears
-.t Delicious Fruit.

| Two apples were picked by, A. X. =.
Gutenberg at Vancouver recently
from what is said to be the oldest
apple-tree in the Pacific Northwest.
The tree Is 95 years old, and is Iiy-:
f.ag- monument to the romantic days
when the Hudson's Bay company ruled
over vast territory within the Uni
ted, States. r'.- y.
Sailing around Cape Horn in 1926,
Hudson's Bay company employee
ate an apple. It seemed such adeli-
clous apple after his long sea diet of
salt horse and bareback that he
planned to raise other apples like 1t
in his new home in the wilderness.
He dropped the seeds in his vest-pock-
ct and forgot all about them. But they
were discovered BY the tailor at Fort
Vancouver, to whom he turned over
his clothes to mend. The tailor gave
them to the gardener, who planted
thein,s and the trees that grew from
them were the ancestors Of the
flourishing orchards which have since
made Oregon and Washington famous.
The ancient tree, now standing alone
on the site Of the old fur post, has
lived through many changes that made
history. Fort Vancouver was founded
on the Columbia river in 1924 by the
Hudson's Bay company as the rival
Of John Jacob Astor's pioneer Ameri-
can fur post Of Astoria. For years
under Chief Factor John McLoughlin.s
known as ''the king of Oregon" it was
the company's transmontane capital,
and It's fur brigades swept as far east
as the Rockies and almost as far south
as the borders of modern Mexico. rs,n
When at the close Of the "Fifty-four
forty or fight excitement, Oregon was
ceded to the United States! the COM
pany abandoned the fort and withdrew
north Of the Internal ional line. When
Fort Vancouver was at the height OF
its prosperity, the company was SUI
preme lord over thrce-fourths Of North
America. t.1ss ..fl.. 4. r. ..TE

There are no indications that in. re-
