Spreads easily, covers thoroughly, and does not crack or scale, no matter how severe the assaults of sun, rain or snow.

RUGGLES IS THE DAHLIA MAN Whenever a Hood River housewife is hostess at a dinner party or evening reception or card narty, at this season of the year, her husband is almost cer tain just before the atlair to be in structed to drive by and bring home a bouquet of RdfjglM dahlias. Bouquets of the enormous and beautiful flowers grace church altars and the chairman's table at formal (and informal public gatherings. Judtotl G. Kugges, native of Mass achusetts, printer by profession, and i good one, for he takes just as keen an interest in his craftmanship as he does In the production of flowers, has be come known in Hood River as the "Dahlia Man." Mr. Ruggles, foreman of the composing room of the Glacier, has resided in Hood River for six years. His accumulation of choice dahlia plants has been gradual. To day he has more than 100 choice sorts, cactus, decorative, hybrid and peony bursting into gorgeous bloom on a full vacant lot adjoining his home. H knows them by name. He likes to show his flowers to visitors and point out the lnsulindes, Geo. Walters, Gladys Sherwoods, I'atrika Omaras, rearl Ruggles and on ad infinitum. While Mr. Ruggles gladly furnishes bouquets, he doesn't grow dahlias for profit. His flower garden is his hobby. But dahlia bulbs, especially of the newly originated varieties, are costly A single, insignificant looking little bulb often costs $2, S.'s and sometimes more than $5. Mr. Ruggles makes his hobby self-supporting. The printer-dahlia man isn't selfish with his treasures. He sells to neigh bors hundreds of surplus bulbs every year, disposing of bulbs at reasonable figures. Selections of bulbs from his gardens have resulted in numerous fine garden displays in all parts of the city and valley. His children, Dorothy, age 8, and Judson, Jr., age 6, are just as enthusiastic over the dahlia garden as their father. At the recent indus trial county Bchool fair, the boy was awarded first prize on dahlias, while his sister raptured second. Nor should Mrs. Ruggles be left unmentioned in this story of Hood River's dahlias. She watches the prized plants with jealous care, and some of the gorgeous blossoms are due to her careful work of disbudding the tender shoots, allow ing only the large and sturdy ones to come to bloom. Fame of the Ruggles dahlias has traveled beyond the limits of Hood River. Walter Frichard Eaton, dra matic critic and author, who spent the summer exploring the wilds of central Oregon and the Skyline Trail along the backbone of the Cascades, read of Mr. Rugules' exploits, and, on passing through here on his return to Portland with Fred Riser, planned an inspection of the local garden. Mr. Eaton, who by the way was reared in Massachu setts near the old home of the Ruggles family, is too a dahlia fancier and has a garden of his own, where he lavishes tender care on his plants when not wandering through remote scenic nooks. His passage through Hood River was hurried, and unfortunately he became confused in street directions and failed to glimpse the early blooms of the Ruggles plants late last July. He declared that he hoped to make two goals on his next summer trip to Ore gonone, an ascent of Mt. Hood and the other a sight of his fellow New F.nglander's dahlias. On August 1 Mr. Ruggles began daily to supply fresh bouquets of dif ferent varieties of dahlias at the First National Hank and the Franz store. Each day citizens call to see the new array of (lowers. He expects to re peat his flower shows daily until a killing frost nips his plants. WOMAN'S CLUB NEWS A large and enthusiastic group of women met in Library hall Wednesday, September 28, for Home Coming Day, the first meeting of the Hood River Woman's Club for the season. The president, Mrs. William Munroe, occu pied the chair. Following the usual routine of re ports by the secretary, and various committees, matters of business were taken up and the following resolution watt passed : "Whereas, we have been informed of the great lack of good morals, at a distance as well as in our own vicinity, "He It Resolved, that the Hood River Woman's Club use their best en deavors to enforce and assist the offi cers in enforcing the laws which the members of the club with the majority of the people have made." Mrs. Munroe in her address of wel come gave a heart-to-heart talk to the members, outlining the work for i the coming year and especially em phasizing her desire to witness a genii- I ine club spirit among the members.
