The funeral sermon delivered by
Rev Warrington, who was formerly
overseas with the Y. M. C. A., was
a masterpiece. Its every word car
ried an impressive lesson to the lis
teners and it not only nerved as a fit,
ting tribute to the memory of one
who died that we might live, but It
also was comforting inasmuch as It
reviewed the wonderful aacriflceJ
made by the young man. The theme
of tho sermon centered about one's
life work. It was emphasized that It
would lie better for one only to live
mouth and dedicate to Ihe world
the accomplishnienta of this young
man than to live a hundred years
and not be able to make the sacrifice
for our countrymen. The Presbyter
Ian choir sang three beautiful hymns
closing with "Nearer My God to
Thee." t
Following the church services the
legionnaires for the third time came

Public Meeting In the City
Hall on Tuesday.
Tho regular monthly meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce will be
held at the city hall In Roseburg on
the 12th day ot October. 1920. and
ihe president urges all membera of
the chamber to he present and par
ticipate In this meeting. This is im

will be adopted Ihe constitution and
by-laws that will govern Ihe new or
ganization In the luture and provi
sions will be made for the coming
year s work.
The officers of the Chamlir or
Commerce are very enthusiastic over
the progress the chamber has made
within a ahort time, which only dem
onstrates what an aggressive body of
men can do. There la now on the
press a book advertising the re
sources of Douglus county, and prac
tically every town within Ihe county
is included nnd has space in this
book, which will be the most com
prehensive ever put out by the Rose

clusively with facts and figures.
The work for the coming year
should be begun within the next
month or two and provisions made
(or an aggressive year s work. We
must get our share of the homeseek
ers. The recent weather conditions
demonstrate the superiority of the
Tmpqua valley over other portions of
the state. Practically no loss was
had In the prune harvest In this
county, whereaa the Willamette val
ley lost all the way from 25 to 50
per cent of Us crop. New industries
must be encouraged. Additional
roads must be constructed.
Therefore, you ire urged, if you
have the interest of your, town and
county at heart, to be present at this
meeting Tuesday. It Is up lo you
whether or not you will help roll the
wheels of progress or whether you

estly requested to be present. We
need your views we need your co
operation. Let us make the coming
year one that will excell all othera.

RAIN IS A DRAWBACK
ShoHora Keep lMckera From Gather
ing Crop as liApidly a. Uealred,
Hut Good Prog-es Being Made
In Nplto ot Handicap.
In spite of the rainy and disagree
able weather excellent nrogreaa Is
being made with the apple crop. The
picking is being hlndored by the rain
the pickers cannot work during
showers. Between spells, however,
the pickers are kept I'Usy and the
crop ia being removed from the trees
In good time taking into considera
tion the handicap under which the
growera are laboring.
Estlmatea are only alightly be
low those of last year, on tho
amount of produce. Now orchards
lust coming into hearing have added
great deal to the volume of tho
apple crop while old orchards are all
producing a normal crop.
The Oregon Growers Association
will ship out about 125 carloadB of
ipples from the county according to
the present estimates. Ten carloads
have already been sent out and 10
mora will be shipped from Roseburg
during the present week. Three cars
were londed at the local plant today
one Is being prepared for shipment
it Sutherlln and one Is practically
completed at Riddle.
The variety of apples now being
handled is Spltzenbergs and practi
cally the entire carloads to be ship
ped this week will be of that variety.
The crest ot the Spltzenberg run
111 he reached this week and the
Newtons will begin to come In next
week. The Splzenbergs this year are
sxcollent In quality. Had It not been
Tor the dry spell In the summer the
luallty would have been much Det
er than anv produced In the north
west and would have set altogether
new standard. The dry spell how
ever, slightly reduced tho size of the
fruit, although the apples .are still
very large and are of excellent shape
tnd color.
The windstorm which caused a
Treat many apples to fall trom the
trees was responsible for some loss,
hut as a result the apples remaining
were niado larger, and consequently
tho monteary returns will not be In
any way lessened.
At Garden Valley, a large crew of
nickers are being employed and
hundreds of boxes are being brought
Into Roseburg dally. The packing of
"he apples at Garden valley greatly
relieves the congestion and hastens
'he work of shipping the fruit. Prac
tically all of Ihe produce of the val
'ev is being shipped through tho
local Oregon Growera plant and Is
helna loaded Into cars almost
rapidly as it Is brought In trom thai
in-hards.
A number of cars will be shipped!
'hrniiKh Independent packers snd
nrospects are that the shipment thlnj
vear will be almost equal to that ofl
'ast season. Tho establishment or in
Oreaon Growers plant at Riddle an'
it Sutherlln, provides sufficient1
room for the handling of the crop,
ind the congestion experienced last
vear Is not expected thla season.

Should Pay Tribute
When the snnouncement Is made
that the funeral services of a veteran
of the World War are to be held,
the legionnaires are of the opinion
that everyone should display the
American flag on the day of the
services, and when the flag Is flown
from a pole it should be half-masted.
The flag flying over the I'mpqua
Hotel yesterday was placed at half
mast in honor of the services over
the body of Private Roy Smith. The
American Legion men were aroused
yesterday during the funeral proces
sion when a number of "sidewalk
Ilrards" were seen wearing their lists
snd leaning against telephone as the
flag draped casket passed by. Patrio
tism seems to be a dead Issue wl'h
a few nf them and a good quick Jab
with a baronet might serve to make
thsni "snap out of the dope."
