FILTHY READING MATTER

The general public is altogether toe
Indifferent to the immoral effects that
may be left by the reading Of some
of the suggestively filthy publications
that are available to young and old
alike. School boys and school girls
are said to be drifting toward per-
verted sense of humor from too much
reading of the low order of witticisms.
When young girlhood, where we look
for inspiring purity, is besmirched by
familiarity with obscene jokes that
may we'll have had their origin in a
tenderloin burlesque, it is time for
parents to lift themselves from a
status that they may consider a toler-
ance of modern times but which in
reality is a lethargic, moral laziness.

According to A. j. C. Schroeder of
the Acme Grocery, who with Mrs.
Schroeder attended the recent grand
lodge convention of the Knights of Py-
thias in Portland, drove to Hood River
and The Dalles. this years apple crop
at Hood River is one of the largest
and finest as to quality of any in recent
years and the people in that part of
the state are optimistic and happy as a
result. Some of the first Delicious
apples shipped from Hood River to
New York brought So a box. This is
higher than the apples will bring rom
now on however, though purchasers of
real Hood River apples of first quality
expect to pay fair price for them.
according to the local merchant. MIR.
Schroeder brought back samples of
many of this years Hood River apples
and has a fine plate display Of the
fruit at his store, including Jonathans,
Ortleys. Spitzenburgs, Winter Bananas
and others. He also contracted in

From the standpoint of legal techni-
cality the Multnomah county budget
commission has been right in rejecting
the promised appropriation of 1856, 600
for construction of the Loop Highway
in Clackamas county. But moral re
sponsbility rests on Mutnomah county
to fulfill the agreement made last
spring. Clackamas county was inan-
cially unable to pay for the full cost Of
constructing its portion of the great
highway. The Multnomah board of
commissioners made possible the pro-
gram for the road by promising to fur
nish $4,000 of the fund.

Despite Walters Assertion, Traveller
90 Was Convinced They Were In
the Wrong Room.

The late William Dean Howells was
very fond of travelling in Spain. He
once said on his return from Anda-
luSia:
1.-THE Spaniards, especially the
southern Spaniards, have enormous
families. Eight children is the aver
age and families of 16 and II chill
dren are quite common.
But they don't know how to raise
these children. They take babies of
three or four months travelling with
them. In every hotel and train there
are sure to be as many babies as
adults.
Il was ushered one evening by a
Malaga waiter into the lofty marble
and bronze restaurant of a sumptuous
hotel. The restaurant was crowded
with babies. .....
"'This is our dining hall, senior,
said the waiter, complacently.
Il put my hands over my ears.
"'Your dining hall?' I said. Don't
you mean your bawl roomT"

LAST evening before went to bed
[ was reading a book called Sunshine
Susan 1t was about a woman who
just made up her mind to be happy
no matter what happened. Then her
husband was brought home with
broken leg, and the two children had
number of measles simultaneously,
and the house burned down, and the
bank in which she had deposited her
savings closed its doors, and In spite
Of everything she went around singing
and dancing.
'If had thought 1t over I might
have realized that it was too good to
be true. No human woman could be
gay and happy in the midst of so
many calamities. But was In
sentimental mood, and when I turned
out the light and went to bed thought
that ought to be ashamed of myself
for not being like Sunshine Susan, and
made up my mind would turn over
new leaf first thing in the morn
ing.
$50 I came downstairs smiling, and
was singing all the time 1 was get
ting breakfast, and when Mr.. Curfew
came down he said it warmed up his
whole being to see me in such cheer
full frame of mind. It reminded him
of him of the time when I was sweet
seventeen, and as pretty as a red
wagon. Then he gradually drifted into
story to the effect that he had a
great opportunity to make the finest
horse trade of his career. All he need
ed was 81 in cash to close the trans
action, and he would make at least
SIS by 1t.
HE knew had 81 put away in the
clock to buy myself some clothes I
need the worst way. I had saved that
money, nickel and a dime at time,
and was looking forward to the time
when would have enough to go shop
ping and buy myself an outfit good
enough for the queen of Sheba.
Mr.. Curfew had been trying to bor-
row my savings for long time, offer
ing to give me his note as security, and
before read that Sunshine Susan book
always refused him, and nearly
pnanpa5 b;e haad off dninp ~ p11k fhot
morning was anxious to make every
body happy, so I handed him the
money, and he went and made his
horse trade and brought home an old
crowbait that has been sick ever since,
and he spends all his time out at the
barn, feeding 1t pills and powders,
and can't get him to do any Of the
chores around the place.
"The same morning Mrs. Turpentine
heard me singing in the back yard,
and she thought it would be good
time to borrow my patent electric
washing machine, and came over for
that purpose. She had asked for IL a
dozen times before, but always told
her to go to. Being full of sunshine
on that occasion, however, I told her
she could have it and welcome, and
I've never been able to use it since.
The man who sold it to me says it
will cost Sc for repairs, so you see
what Sunshine Susan did to me.
