DUCKWALL WARNS
AGAINST WINDFALLS

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. %, 1921.
! Editor Glacier:
In a number of boxes of perfect,
hard, green apples we otter find in
each box of a certain growers pack,
two three or four apples showing de-
cay. The condition of the rest of the
fruit is so good. so hard and green,
that we are convinced these are wind
falls.
Windfalls on the ground only a short
time, pick up bacteria; these bacteria
are all over the surface of the ground
and even if the apple falls in soft dirt
and shows no bruises and appears to be
in perfect condition; at the same time
lying on the ground for a few hours,
the chances are that bacteria are
working on it and in the course of a
few weeks it is going to show decay.
A box of apples that shows even a
small per cent of decay, is very hard
to sell. Buyers think that if box
shows three rotten apples today, they
will all be rotten tomorrow.
So in order to sell them, they have
to be marked at 25 or so cents a box
less than if they did not have in the
two or three in fall apples.
1t IS a comparatively easy matter
for the different shipping firms and
warehouse agencies to check up those
individuals who have been careless in
this respect, by noting the name stamp
on boxes.
What we urge for the correction Of
this abuse. however, is the aid of the
press, the shipping agencies. and the
growers themselves in giving this mat
ter the widest publicity.
We hold it largely a matter of educa-
tion. Let us use common sense and
loyalty, and we are then quick to see
this is to our mutual good

Two Facts for Growers

l. In a decade in the United States,
1910 to 1920, the number of bearing
apple trees decreased from leo million
to lis million, or % per cent and the
new planting decreased from 60 million
to 33 million young trees.
2. The Willamette valley is year by
year plucking up apple orchards and
planting berry plants. We know what
that means.
Therefore, in view of the above
facts Hood River growers should plant
more apple trees.
Again, therefore, plant the best sell
ing varieties. Here are two most ac-
cepted: Red Gravenstein and Rainier.
Every box of the Rainier apples is
bringing $500 this year f. o. b. Yak

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

The Rhodes scholarship contest in 81
states this year have brought out the
largest number of applicants and the
keenest interest and competition in the
history of this unique institution. Every
mems college in America. it seems, has
students eager to go to Oxford.
This competition insures that men of
good quality will be sent-men who repre-
sent the best there is in American college
life and who therefore are good repre-
sentatives of the American people. 1t is
interesting, though, for the new attitude
it shows toward foreign education.
Before the war. American students
usually preferred to go to German uni
versities. Now there is little inclina-
ton to restore the old traffic between
American and German institutions of
learning The English and French uni
versities have the call, with the empha-
sis on the English. Circumstances of
which Cecil Rhodes never dreamed when
he made his princely bequest have CO.
operated in helping along the purpose for
which he founded the Scholarships
bringing together the educated men of the
English-speaking nations.

SILVER DOLLARS

Silver dollars have been scarce east of
the Mississippi for two decades. During
the war they disappeared even in the
West. Lately they have been coming
back again Treasury department re-
ports tell why.
For months past the Philadelphia mint
has been operating on a 24-hour basis
turning out 100000 standard silver dol
lars a day. The Denver. and San Fran
cisco mints, likewise. have been working
at top speed. They have, in fact, ex-
hausted the supply of silver bullion in
these last weeks.
Foreign orders are taking the place of
domestic ones. The Philadelphia mint
is working on Venezuelan coins and San
Francisco has a big order from Indo-
China. 1t is profitable work, whereas
minting money for America circulation
is not always so.
In October our minis turned out %
41J.000 silver dollars. Now they stop. tc
work for other nations. when there aren't
nearly enough to go around.

down TO rock bottom and candy doesn't
seem to be effected as it was when they
were going up. Manufacturers claim
that there are only about two ounces of
sugar used in a pound of high grade
chocolates, the high price being ex-
CLAIMED by the COST of the chocolate and
nuts. There's an old saying: Its a poor

rule seems to have worked perfectly going

New York state at the last election
adopted an amendment to its constitu-
ton establishing a literacy test for voters.
1t will not affect those who already have
exercised the voters privilege. but every
new voter will be compelled to qualify.
Massachusetts already requires such a
test. 1t is a provision which might we'll
be adopted by other states. 1t is true
that many a man who can read is bad
citizen, and many man who cannot
read the required number of words may
be good citizen; but the general aver
age. of citizenship would certainly be
raised by better education. Anything
which sets the voting qualifications a
little higher works for the good of the

Protected by George Matthew Adams

Commissioner Coombs is right in his be-
lief that federal funds will be spent next
year in extending northwara toward
Brattleboro the improved highway in
Guilford. With as good a road between
Brattleboro and Bernardston as an ex-
tension of this road would bring about,
there is no doubt that a great deal of the
tourist traffic which has been bearing
right at the Bernardston Inn would keep
straight north on this side of the Con
necticut, thus passing through this town
and finding above here fully as good
roads as are encountered by the New
Hampshire route.
The AIeddler hopes that the proposed
new buildings on Elliot street will be
built of brick or some other ireproof
material. There are too many wooden
structures in that locality at the present
time. and certainly if the so-called Water
Cure section is ever to be improved it
will not be through the erection of new
wooden buildings to replace the old ones.
The possibilities of a fire like that which
Quilted the Bushnell property a few
months ago are too serious to be ignored.
Neither town nor village, as The Meddler
understands the situation, actually has
to prevent the erection of
wooden buildings, but when their con
struction in certain localities is likely to
endanger all adjacent real estate. and
perhaps seriously affect insurance rates,
public opinion ought to unite to the ex-
tent of making such building projects ex-
tremely unpopular.
