THE PLANET MARS.
(From Oxford Democrat.D

This old earth of our is getting chum
my with Mars, one of our nearest neigh
bors out in the blue ether. The earth is
not altogether to blame for this because
Mars is coming more than half way
coming nearer than she has been before
since 1909 Of conrse we are interested
in her-want to see how she locks in
the red rob, in which she is dressed; so
we are pointing our biggest lorenette at
her-Dr. P revival LowelPs great telescope
at Flagstaff, Arizona. If one looks at her
with the natural eye, she Is only bright
red star, the same as she always has been;
so one can hardly realize she is flirting with
the earth but she is-at least the astrom-
omers say she is. With the naked eye she
looks about as large as ones fist. but out
through Lowell's big telescope she looks
about twenty-five times the area OF the
full moon, as seen with the naked eye, so
she is some planet. Perhaps our astrono-
mers can now find out what she is doing
with canals, and whether she really
wears an ice cap on her head.

THE ILLINOIS TRAGEDY
Who Started the Butchery?
INV York Herald)

The eyes of this country are cen.ered
upon southern Illinois.
One reason is that one of our great States,
one of those States in which the tradi-
tions of order and honor and power of
law should be of the strongest, remained
supine in critical and tragic hour.
The affair at Herrin was a massacre,
done not merely with deliberation, but
with hideous pleasure.
There is nothing in the history of the
United States to compare with the saw
agery of the mob that turned the surrend-
cred strikebreakers loose only to shoot
them dowL that cut their throats as they
lay wouDded;that cursed them as they were
dying in the hospitals; that killed women
and babies, and that brought the children
into the moreue to 'take a look, kid; at
what your father did,"

May is such a clever girl
She knows the way to blend
The colors in her centerplece
Just so they won't offend.
She's truly very kind of heart
And trims the poorest lots
With something as exquisite as
The blue forget-me- nots.
But when her lovely centerpiece
Was all complete and fine,
Her sister June will GENE along
To change the whole design.

DIR. MACRUM LOOKS
FOR RISING PRICE

DR.. C. A. Macrum. president of the
Mosier Fruitgrowers Association, here
Monday on business, said the main
harvest OF his district would not begin
before the middle of the week. al
though many growers began picking
Newtowns Monday. DR.. Macrum saws
that the Mosier crop will not exceed
lSO carloads this season. Last year
the yield reached 200 cars. The bulk
of the fruit, as in the past three yeRrs,
will be packed in the Associations
community packing house.
Il am not very much worried about
the market outlook on our late varie-
ties of standard appIes,' says DR..
Macrum, "if our growers of the North
west do not get panicky and let loose
at too low prices. The eastern apple
crop is not going to be what we
thought. Most of the apples are of
the earlier varieties, and the quality is
comparatively poor. Scab has played
havoc in New York, and in Missouri a
severe drouth has cut the crop down.
While the situation is going to result
in very poor prices for early apples.
would urge growers not to be too
eager to sell their Newtowns, Spitzen-
burgs, Ortleys and Delicious. "

APPLE HARVEST
Is UNDER WAY
ALL DISTRICTS ARE NOW PICKING
Estimates on Transient Help Up to Sat-
urday Placed Number At No
Less Than 1000

The harvest of Hood River apples
began in all sections of the valley
Monday, and by this week estimates
place the tonnage that will be under
cover at $50, 900 boxes. In instances
growers began picking last week.
Their discoveries of greater percent
age of codling moth injury than ex-
pected and the prevalence of core rot
and sun tan will result in the packed
tonnage being decreased from pre-har-
vest estimates. The yield of the sea
son is not expected to exceed that of
last year when the tonnage reached
$500 carloads.
This district has never been better
supplied with picker help than this
year. Up to last Saturday night Mrs.
j. w. ingalls,, in charge of the free
employment bureau of the Apple
Growers Association. had placed 800
pickers with growers, and it was esti-
mated that another /, 200 had arranged
directly with orchardists for places.
Tent cities have sprung up on the larg-
er orchard places, and growers the
past week have been busy transporting
supplies from city to valley. 1t is an
ticipated, however, that a keen de-
Tnand will arise for experienced pack
ers as the season advances.
Shipments of fruit here up to last
Saturday night had not reached rs car
loads, chiefly pears. Out of 81 cars
shipped the Apple Growers Association
had rolled only six cars of apples
Traffic Manager Smith stated that APP
pie shipments would not begin on a
large scale until October 10. While
rumors of an impending car shortage
persist, shippers here do not anticipate
any serious inconvenience.

camp on the lake shores next summer
The Columbia River Highway re-
suited in the completion last year OF
the Columbia Gorge Hotel. S. Ben
son. father of the great highway, who
built the tourist hostelry, already ma
tionally famed. sold the property to
his son, Amos Benson, and the latter
is taking a keen interest in making il
place of rest and interest not only TO
Oregonians but the ever increasing
hordes of motor tourists. A large
acreage surrounding the hotel has been
purchased, and landscape gardeners
are laying out system of delightful
parks. Thirteen acres Immediately to
the east of the hostelry will be devel-
oped as Fairgrounds for old and young
before another summer season arrives.
A large swimming pool will be con-
structed, and wading pool for young
sters will be made available. The
kiddles will also have croQuet courts,
swings and teeter boards. Tennis
courts will be provided for adults.
In the Upper Hood River Valley ex-
County Commissioner j. o. Hannum
has built "The Homestead, a new
tourist hostelry, which has won consid-
the almost impossible condition of
roads penetrating the area to the
northeast side of Mount Hood. The
spur road, to be constructed from the
Mount Hood Loop Highway to Coopers
Spur and Cloud Cap Inn will pass di-
reetly by the new resort. Mr.. Han
mum proposes to make his place a win
ter resort as we'll as for the summer
months. He has made preparations
for a natural toboggan slide over
mile long, and the snowfields Of the
community will afford ideal settings
for snowshoeing and skiing.
Never have Hood River folk sensed
to such degree as this year the value
of developing the scenic asset of Mount
Hood, and citizens in general are back
ing efforts of the Hood River Post of
the American Legion, which a year
ago initiated an annual Mount Hood
Climb, in order to draw from all sec
tions of the country sightseers to revel
in the glories of the snow peak and be-
come living advertisers of the region.
While no new orchard tracts are now
being developed in the Hood River
Valley, except on a comparatively
small scale, many of the Upper Valley
orchards are reaching full maturity,
and the valleys tonnage for this sea-
son. although it is the off year, will be
approximately as heavy as that last
year. Numerous warehouses have been
constructed by growers and shippers,
and the Apple Growers Association
will complete soon new storage unit
for about $4,000 boxes of fruit. The
new storage plant will cost around
S25. 900.
When the summer sun begins shining
next year Hood River county will have |
one of the best golf courses in the |
Nor orthwest, according to experts who
have inspected the nine-hole links Just |
laid out in the Oak Grove district, |
where the Hood River Country Club |
recently purchased 15O-acre farm.
The initial expense of purchasing the
farm and developing the first unit will |
reach $4,000. An additional nine
holes can be added at any time without |
play on the course now
under construction.

BLACK, THOMSEN SEE
MANY CREAMERIES

j. p. Thomson, member of the direc-
torate, and w. M. Black, manager of
the Hood River Creamery, returned
Saturday from tour of southern Ore
gon and the Willamette Valley, where
they inspected a large number of
creamery plants. The men were seek
ing information to guide them in a
new $40. 600 home soon to arise for the
creamery.
The two men were very much inn
pressed with new plant at Eugene,
constructed at cost of $50, 900. II is
the plan of the creamery men here to
provide new home that will be at
tractive and source of pride to the
citizens in general
'The Eugene creamery building is
neat and durable" said Mr.. Thomson.
1T is of concrete, the exterior walls
finished with stuccO Of concrete and
quartz"
The contract for excavating for the
foundation of the new structure on a
lot at the corner Of Sixth and Columbia
streets, was let to T. d. Calkins, who
has already begun work. The building
will be so by 100 feet, one story. In
addition to butter the new plant will
manufacture ice cream.

ECONOMY OF SCHOOL
BOARD is CITED

Hood River has a school board that
ought to set the state an example in
methods for reduction Of taxation. Al
the official dedication of the city's new
SIG, 900 junior high school last Friday
night. City School Superintendent A.
M. Cannon told how the board, after
sounding out public sentiment, decided
to replace structure destroyed a year
ago by fire. with the insurance money,
amounting to 1900. While some
wished to secure a vote of special tax
and the construction of large school,
the main sentiment was for rigid
economy.
The school board, with Mr.. Cannon's
cooperation, utilized the foundation of
the cid structure. Even the old fur
mace was used. Pipe from the old
Park Street school gained the board a
saving of more than 5000. An old fire
escape, sent to the discard when the
new annex Of the high school was
built, was resurrected from the base
ment of the Coe primary school and
was found to fit exactly the new
structure.
The new building, which was rushed
to completion September by Strana-
han & Slavens. is of frame construc-
ton and two stories high. Plans call
ultimately for the construction of a
large modern junior high school build
ing on a large lot. Then the school
house will be converted into teach
ers' dormitory or apartment house.
Principal Kizer presided at the dedi-
cation meeting. Several songs were
rendered by students. Joe Haslinger
gave a recitation and Lewis Hart and
Helen Boldly gave readings. Follow
ing the program, the faculty served
light refreshments.

NEW PLANT
in OPERATION
EMRY COMPANY PLACES EQUIPMENT
New Woodworking Factory Able to Turn
Out Anything That Can Be Pro-
duced in Portland Plants

The Emry Lumber & Fuel Co has
started operations at its new Sl0. 900
woodworking plant, the only industry
of its kind between Portland and par-
dleton and crew of men is now ELI
gagged in turning out odd mill work
ana other products for local contrac-
tors.
The new enterprise, housed in con-
crete building three stories high and 40
Dy oO IN size, includes Yates planer.
resaw machinery, full box making
equipment and machinery for making
doors and sashes and odd moulding.
Ihe debris and shavings from the pla-
ners are carried into a huge alright
tank by a system of blower pipes.
The material will be hauled to the
Hood River laundry in dump trucks,
where it is in demand as fuel.
The new plant, which is electrically
driven, Will employ from four to eight
men continuously. 1t is the aim of the
company to keep the plant in operation
constantly, using the box factory as a
filler.
During the past two years local con-
tractors have found themselves badly
hampered in their efforts to secure
mill work and extra moulding from
Portland manufacturers. This condi-
tion was largely responsible for the
installation of the local machinery.
We felt the need of the new plant
Tor our own convenience, says Nelson
Emry, manager Of the plant, "for it
VIII enable US to fill our orders and
give our customers better service. We
intend to draw to this city from vari-
GUS mid Columbia points mill work and
door and sash orders that have been
going to Portland. We are equipped
to turn out any kind of work that can
be done in any Portland mill of the
nature of our plant"

old things may be discarded. He has not
caught the spirit of the festal celebration
who is not stirred to renewal and is not

welcome to the light
1t is more than church festival. Be-
liever and unbeliever together share the
influences of the day. In each of us,
whatever creed we formally profess, there
dwells the feeling that the day betokens.
1t is the assurance that life is worth the

surprising meteors; appealing at once to
seat of wonderful the touch so thrilling
ly delicate, and the belly-so imperious
when starved. 1t combines and employs
in its manifestation the method and ma
terial, not of one art only, but of all the
arts. Music is but an arbitrary trihing
with a few of life's majestic chords;
painting is but shadow of its pageantry
of light and color. Literature does but
drily indicate the wealth of incident, of
moral obligation, of virtue, vice, action,
rapture and agony, with which it teens.
But, struggle as you please, man has
to work in this world.
Industry is, in itself and when properly
chosen, delightful and profitable to the
worker; and when your toll has been a
pleasure, you have not earned money
merely, but money, health, delight and
moral profit, all in one.
With voiceess calls, the ancient earth
Summons me to daily birth.
You cannot run away from weakness;
you must sometime fight it out or perish;
and if that be so, why not now, and
where you stand!
An aim in life is the only fortune worth
the finding; and it is not to be found in
foreign lands, but in the heart itself.
To be what we are, and to become what
we are capable of becoming, is the only
end of life.
1t would be we'll if nations and races
could communicate their qualities; but in
practice when they look upon each other,
they have an eye to nothing but defects.
There are two things men should never
weary of-goodness and humility.

afternoon, April 9th, Pres. w. j. McC.,
presiding. Attendance twelve, absent
two, dropped from roll one.
Reading and approval of minutes and
distribution of library books being prompt
ly disposed of, the short orations, arranged
for at the last meeting, were called for.
Vice-Pres. L. J. w. lead off, his subject
being Benefits That Follow Disasters"
Instead of treating property losses, or ply
sical catastrophes, he selected the phase of
the subject that dealt with the Individual
human life, especially the disaster of crime
and the benefits that an awakening to the
ethics of life may bring. Mr.. H. P.'s sub
ject was "Two Men Inside" and explained
the innate dual natures, the DR.. Jeckel and
Mr.. Hyde propensities, alleged to exist, as
a part of each human entity. His pre-
fatory remarks proclaimed it deep sub
ject, his peroration left no doubt as to the
subjects profundity. Mr.. S. H. F. spoke
on "Narrowness in Specialism." This was
Mr.. F.'s first appearance before the Circle
and his able delivery, and adroit reason
ing, won the hearty applause of the men,
bers Mr.. r. J. T. closed the limited to
five minute talks, with the subject "Morals
and Manners" He obtained running
start by relating an amusing anecdote,
touched on some of the most serious of
themes, stressed few logical deductions
and ended with an original couplet. Mr..
T. has heretofore demonstrated his ability
to talk, it seems now he has become nicely
inoculated by the "Poetical Bee" so preva-
lent here this Spring
Mr.. c. M. w. gave a talk on "Means of
Communication as Used During the World
War;" The blackboard was brought into
use and Mr.. w. graphically depicted the
manner in which gun ranges were OBJ
tanned, the different kind of systems of
signaling how code letters were used to
expedite and add secrecy to the sending
of messages, and how the alphabet was
used instead of numerals. Mr.. w. speaks
