TWO HUMAN BEINGS
ARE cRUCIFIED BY
NEW MEXICO SECT
Replica of the Tragedy of Calvary
Is Enacted-Americans Permit
c. ted to Witness Good Friday
Ceremonies.

Alberqueque, N. NJ, March 81
Two men were crucified at the Peni,
tente village of Abiqiu, in northern
New Mexico on Good Friday, in OBJ
servance of holy week, in rites per
formed by members Of the Hernanos
de Luz, Brothers of Light, a religious
order, according to B. j. Norfeldt
and Gustave Baumann, artists Of San
te Fe, N. NJ, who arrived here today
Norfeldt and Gustave say they
we're members of a party OF two
dozen tourists who witnessed the
crucifxion and ceremonies connect,
ed with it. .. ...... -. t.
For more than half an hour, the
artists said, the two human sacrifices
were tied to huge wooden crosses, al
the end Of which time they were
taken down, bleeding and exhausted
The condition of the men is said to
be serious and their recovery in
doubt t.,......... -. 'i
The Penitentes are Indians with
Mexican admixture. The order has
many followers, it is understood, in
remote villages Of this state. AL
though supposed to be dying out
the order still attracts wide attention
because of its mysterious ceremonies
which Americans seldom are able to
witness. - ..-' -. ~ -
The principles and practices of the
order are said to have come from
Italy through Spain and Mexico.
Last Friday was one of the rare
occasions, according to the two art
lists, when Americans were permitted
to witness the most solemn ceremon.
les performed by the Penitentes.
"When the Penitentes form in 8
long procession" said Mr.. Norfeidt
they "march to slow weird music and
beat themselves with thorn whips
soaked in brine water to wound
themselves and make their wounds
smart. One man carried a large
wooden cross, under the weight Of
which he fell exhausted frequently
The procession ended with the erec'
ton of two crosses with members OF
the order tied to them"
It is considered IN honor among
the Penitentes to be selected TO,

COTTON FARMERS ~
J. ARE ORGANIZING

Memphis, Tenn, March 3O.-The
cotton growing states are to be
federated into one organization for
the exclusive marketing Of the next
COTTON crop.
This plan has been adopted by the
American Federation of Farm Blu.
reaus and approved by number of
Southern states.
Plans for the federation call fol
organization of the farmers Of each
cotton growing state efinto marketing
associations under a state head. The
farmers are to refinquish all hold or
their cotton after it is raised, turn.
ing it over to the state marketing
organization for sale. -.
Follows Cut.
This plan follows close on the
heels of the cotton acreage reduc.
ton campaign which was conducted
throughout the south this winter.
The marketing federation plal
has three objects in view: ..
Proper financing of the cotton
crop each year through the Local
banks and the federal reserve sys.
TEN. '. I...... ,..
Controlling the cotton acreage by
system of contracts with the far.
mers. ,.r"s. .
Distributing of the cotton cror
over period of IL months instead
of flooding the market. three
months out of the year, as at pres.
ent..
Farmers organizations in Texas
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee
were the first to agree to adopt the
new marketing plan. !.
Employ Experts. H..
Chasing and grading experts are
to be employed by each state orga'
nization to grade the cotton and
find the best market for it. Farmers

ScOURGE OF CANCER
SWEEPING AMERICA
Society for Control of Malady Starts
"A National Campaign

New York, March 31.---Cancer,
more deadly than tuberculosis, is
sweeping America. 1t has increased
"a per cent in 20 years.
In New York, during 1920, there
were 1851 deaths as against 5,026
in 1919, an increase of Sc per cent.
The general increase throughout the
country, was 2 1-2 per cent.
During the war approximately S0,-
900 American soldiers were killed or
died from disease. During the same
period cancer killed 10000 persons.
These figures are made public by
the Department of Health and by the
American Society for the Control of
Cancer. .' j.
AS first move to stop the increase
in cancer, the society will inaugurate
a national cancer week. 49,. .l.y
> Cancer experts will lecture on the
disease, while, tons Of literature will
be mailed throughout the nation.
The necessity of surgical operations
will be explained and the use of ra-
dunn as a remedy discussed.

P0E'S PLACE IN LITERATURE
America Has Not Accorded Due Honor
to Her Gifted Son, Is Opinion OF
Hamilton w. Mabe.

A national literature must have
many notes, and Poe struck some
which in pure melodic quality had not
been heard before. AS literary inter-
ests broaden, and the provincial point
of view gives place, the American estl-
mate Of Poe will approach more nearly
the foreign estimate. That estimate
was based mainly on a recognition
of Poe's artistic quality and Of the
marked individuality Of his work.
Lowell and LongfellOw continued the
old literary traditions; Poe seemed to
make a new tradition. The art
list always pushes back the bounda-
ries a little, and opens a window here
and there through which the imaglna-
tion looks out upon the world OF which
1t dreams, but which It sees so rarely;
and we are not prone to mete out
with mathematical eXactness our
praise Of those who set us free. If
we lose our heads for q time when
Kpling comes with his vital touch,
his passionate interest in living, the
harm is not great. Poe may have
been over-valued by some Of his eager
French and German disciples, but,
after all deductions are made, their
judgment was nearer the mark than
ours has been and 1t was nearer the
mark because their conception Of lit
erature was more inclusive and ade-
quate.-Hamilton w. Mable.

Our Sister In Typhoid.

In his Past and Present" that open
ing gun of the mdnineteenth century
radical campaign, Thomas Carlyle tells
grisly story Of a poor Irish widow
in Edinburgh, who begged for help.
"She was refused, till her strength
and heart failed her; she sank down
in typhus fever; died, and infected her
lane with fever so that II other per-
sons died Of fever there I'm cOnse-
quence. The forlorn Irish widow ap-
plies 10 her fellow creatures, Behold,
l am sinking. l am your sister; one
God made us They answer, No, i'm
possible; thou art no sister Of ours
But she proves her slsterhood; ner
typhus fever kills them; they are actu-
ally her brothers though denying it,

TIE 1925 CONVENTION

1t behooves us now, in a modest
way, to set about preparing for the
1926 worlds fair to be held in Port
land. At her Rose Festivals and at
such huge conventions as that held by
the Imperial Shrine last year Portland
has won international fame as hostess
city. Indirectly and directly we out
lying smaller towns have reaped ben
eft from Portland's hospitality. Al
ready Astoria has begun planning big
things for the 1925 exposition. We
are in position to realize on the ven
ture and Portland should have our full
est cooperation.
Julius S. Meier. who has long been a
good roads booster, one of the best
friends the Columbia River Highway
ever had, is at the head of the big fair
Men of like energy and vision are as
sociated with him. The exposition will
be a success.

Man Has Much to Learn.

Man thinks he is a pretty smart fell
low now. And so he Is, but 1t must be
somewhat Of a bump to his pride when
he considers how long Il took him to
learn the few things that he knows.
For II is really only a few things
that man yet knows compared TO the
things that surely he is destined yet TO
know. 1t is true that he has invaded
both the kingdoms Of the fishes and
the birds, that he can navigate the un-
der waters Of the seas and the upper
winds Of the air, but these are prob
ably small achievements in view Of
that which Il Is possible for him to
achieve in the future.-Los Angeles
Times.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1921-03-03

The "father and son" movement re-
ceived commendable stimulus recent
ly at the local dinner given by Hood
River fathers to their sons. The happy
relationship of mutual confidence, love
and respect between a man and a fam
lily of sons is something that almost
creates covetousness in the less fortu-
fortunate. No obstacle can stand in
the way of a man and his boys when
they set their heads on cooperating for
the accomplishment of some worthy
end in life. The father should begin
while the boy is still little tad to
take the son into his confidence, make
himself companionable to him, talk
business, sports and more trivial Incl.
dens over with him. Create in him a
need for his father. The future
rewards both to boy and father are
sure. The evening meal of every
family, where there are boys, should
be a father and SON. banquet.

FARM LOAN ACT
DECLARED VALID

No news has been so cheering to
Hood River orchardists as that convey
ing word that the United States Su-
preme Court Monday had rendered a
decision declaring the Federal Farm
Loan Act constitutional. When litiga-
tion last year tied up operation of the
act, number of growers here had APP
plications in for loans. Others were
engaged in completing the clearing up
of title and other formalities prepara-
tory to making applications. The re-
sumption of operation of the Act, it is
said, will probably bring loans reach
ing into the thousands of dollars here.
Statistics on loans that have been
applied for or contemplated cannot be
ascertained. as both R. E. Scott, sec
retary of farm loan association oper-
ating on the East Side. and August
GuignArd, secretary of the West Side
association. are both out of town. Lo-
cal bankers declare that the resump-
tion of the loan act will be of great
benefit to the district.

PRODUCE NEW LIQUID FUEL
Spirit Known as Natalie" Made In
Papua, Put on Market Cheaper
Than Gasoline.

The rivers in the sugar-growing dis-
tricts Of Australia will run less sweet
ly now that the government mas re-
moved the excise duty Of shilling a
gallon, which has made Improbable
the local manufacture of Industrial
alcohol. Every year, so writes a cor
respondent of the London Times
Trade Supplement from Sydney, nun
dreds of thousands Of gallons of
molasses have been run into those
rivers because there was no profit In
using the molasses to make alcohol;
but the removal Of the duty comes as
an important part Of the movement
now under way to replace petrol with
Industrial alcohol and thus make Aus
tralia able to produce her own liquid
fuel.
One Immediate result has been the
formation in Australia Of an impor-
tant company to manufacture indus
trial alcohol: and one future result
seems to be that Australians who now
speak Of petrol will eventually say
"natalite." In Natal a patent spirit
which has been given this new name
is already being marketed at a price
lower than petrol, and the making of
this liquid fuel is about to be under
taken on n large scale In Papua, where
plants and trees have been discovered
that are expected to yield about 73
gallons a ton hundred square miles
OF country have been reserved on
which some 100000 gallons of natal
lite a year are considered a reasonable
beginning with the likelihood Of in
creasing the output TO at least 49,
100000 gallons when a system Of re-
the land has been put in
operation. The plan goes further, and
will seek to engage farmers to CO.
operate by raising crops of sorghum,
with an estimated yield of so gallons
Of Industrial alcohol to the ton, for
a share In the profits.

FELT PITY FOR VAIN MAN
$50 Full Of Himself That He Has No
Room for Anything Else," Wrote
William Penn.

A vain man is q nauseous creation
he is so full of himself that he has no
room for anything else, be it never so
good and deserving.
'Tis l at every turn that do this,
or can do that. And as he abounds in
comparison, so he is sure to give him
self the better Of everybody else. ac-
cording to the proverb, all the geese
and swans.
They are certainly to be pitied that
can be so much mistaken at home.
And yet have sometimes thought
that such people are in a sort happy,
that nothing can put out of counte-
nance with themselves, though they
neither have nor merit other peoples.
But at the same time one would
wonder they should not feel the blows
they give themselves or get from
others, for this intolerable and ridicu-
lous temper; nor show any concern
for that which makes others blush for,
as well as at them, viz, their unreason-
able assurance.
Whereas the greatest understand
lngs doubt most, are readiest to learn,
and least pleased with themselves;
this, with nobody else.
For though they stand On higher
ground, and so see further than their
neighbors, they are yet humbled by
their prospect, since it shows them
something so much higher and above
their reach.
And truly then 1t is, that sense
shines with the greatest beauty, when
It is set in humillty.-William Penn
in Fruits of Solitude"

AS HE SIZED UP THE VISITOR
Hotel Clerk Was Pretty Sure That He
Was Not Likely to Come in
Very Early.

Cortlandt Blocker said at a New
York roof-garden supper:
"Apropos Of New York as a summer
resort, / heard a story the other day.
"A westerner blew In here and ap-
piled for a room In hotel. The hotel
clerk said to him:
avery sorry, sir, but we're so over
crowded that I'll have to ask you to
share a room with another gentleman.
VIII that dor
"'Hm. Yes, I suppose so,' said the
westerner reluctantly, but will this
chap turn In early? I've got lot Of
work to do here in New York, and I'll
need a lot of sleep, and don't want to
be disturbed, by crinus.'
"The clerk laughed.
"Youll have your nights rest com
pleted before this gentleman ever gets
in he said.
"Sure. of thatT said the westerner
Certainly said the clerk. You
see, the mans been stopping with us
every August for the last eleven years,
and this is the first time he's made the
trip without his wife,"

capsules and Fly Screens.

Among modern inventions that make

of the most important the capsules

and the wire screen used to protect
our houses from disagreeable insects.
Quinine, he says. was I'm the days of
the Civil war the great medicine Of
