Rev. 4:11. PRESIDENT HOOVER IN PORTO RICA It is interesting to note the cordial welcome accorded to President Hoover on his visit to the island of Porto Rica which, by the way,, is the first presidential visit since 1906, when President Roosevelt, father of the present governor, visited the island. In addition to furthering good-will, this visit will enable Mr. Hoover to secure first-hand information that will assist him in formulating plans for the betterment of the people, who are responding to the efforts of Governor Theodore Roosevelt and his assistants to improve conditions along all lines. , During the year and a half that the present Governor has had charge he has learned the Spanish language, has coun selled with all classes of natives and has put in long hours in an effort to be of the utmost help to the Porto Ricans, whom he calls "our people." His devotion to his task should be an inspiration to all. , Porto Rica has an area of 3325 square miles, which is just 59 per cent larger than Union county, but has a popula tion of 1,600,000. Heretofore agricultural pursuits have jdominated, but a high-grade handicraft is being developed and is receiving much encouragement from our government. - Her principal exports 'are sugar, pineapples, oranges, grape fruit, coffee and tobacco. In 1920 the value'of these exports was,, over $150,000,000; and the. greater part of these ship ,ments came to the United States. i The visit of President Hoover at this time will result in a better understanding and a closer relationship between the Porto Rican people and those of our own country. NIGHT BRINGS OUT THE STARS : Night reveals a thousand fold more than it hides from us. The stars show us celestial depths and heights, and extend our vision beyond all human conception. Those things which daylight shows are all near at hand. We see perhaps a mile ahead. In the night we see uncounted millions of miles into the vault of the heavens. j' To the discontented, there is no experience like a vision into the night to widen one's thought of his own life's diameter. Anon. SPRING This is the season of the year when we will do well to in stitute a campaign of "cleanup" both inside and outside of our habitations and business places. A splendid example is set for us by Nature. Do you note how the brown, bare and ugly is being brushed aside by the new vegetation and the flowers? Let us all assist in the process by clearing away the dead limbs and rubbish from our plants and shrubs and give them a chance to profit by the sunlight and air. ,. The earth owes its youthfulncss at such a great age to the fact that it never keeps late hours. In Washington Ily Herbert rtummrr ! WASHINGTON Random notes In j A Washington Day Book: I Jim Wntson, Republican floor lend- ' er of tho senate, has not the desire or Joe RoblnBon, Democratic floor lend er, to hnve tho ehoico neat In the senate chamber from which to plun his attacks. Robinson's position on the floor Is the first seat, on tho first row of the Democratic side. Watson takes his stand as Republican chief four scats from the olslo on the second row at the desk where sot Daniel Webster when ho was In the senate. Watson how this explanation why ho doesn't movo down opposite Rob inson : "Old Senator Honr of Massachu setts once but here. The soigeunt-at-fcrms approached hhn onco with tho request that he be permitted to make certain alterations in the desk. The old, Bena tor said no, giving as his reason : "'What was Rood enoush for Daniel ' Webster is good enough lor me." "I feel much the same way." Incidentally there's anothur desk in the chamber whose occupant says he'll never surrender as long ns he is a senator. The senator is Put Harri son, nnd his desk Is the one where sat Jefferson Davis when he was s member of the senate. I'I'NCIIING THE CLOCK Proud of his attendance record in the senate is tho handsome, soft voiced Sheppard of Texas. To miss a session of the senate, a roll call or a quorum Is something he never does if it Is humanly possible to get there. He keeps books on his attendance.

Chats With Parents WAT Ml HAH IKS (Part II) Hy Alice Juitsoii Peiiln It is certain that during the first two years of a Man us baby's life he is saved from sudden death only by the fact that his mother never for one moment permits him out of sight or out of mind. Until ho has learned to handle himself with reasonable skill and safety under tho precarlotis condi tions of life In a village built over tho water, she is housebound. She Is, therefore, eager that he learn to tako caro of himself at the earliest possible da to. As soon as ho can stand she allows him to wado and flounder about at low tide. In consequence of this early familiarity with what Is vir tually his notlvo element, ho learns to swim ns soon as he learns to walk. At tho age of three ho is given a small canoo which ho paddles golly and confidently about tho lagoon. At flvo ho dives and swims under the water for long stretches. From now on ho is practically independent of homo and mother, coming into the house only to eat and sleep, or when something of particular Interest is going on thero. Tho technic by which the Mantis mother thus trains her child to take care of himself Is worth tho notice of mothers anywhere. She praises and encouroges his every effort. Her "no" ts final. Sho never shows impatience with his clumsy attempts. She never scolds for failure but onco he has shown ho can do a particular thing, he Is never permitted to fall below his standard. When ho hurts himself he gets no sympathy, nor even any notice. She lets him tako horrifying risks, but sho Is always on hand to prevent serious mishaps. Sho Is herself so sure and strong and skillful that her child has a complete senso of security when she Is near. Health Talks VITAMINS ANO OISKASK A diet rich in vltomtns particu larly in vitamins A, C and D will increase resistance to tuberculosis and help In tho prevention of cure of tho intestinal form of tho disease, ac cumulated evidence shows. This was recently pointed out by Dr. Eugene P. Dullols. In a paper on "Diet In Disease." He also affirmed that experience shows such a vita-mln-rtch diet will Increase resistance against minor infections. Tho demonstration of the value of vitamins In tlute and other respects brings up the problem of what cook ing, preserving and drying does to them. Some vitamins are very resist ant to these processes. Others are easily destroyed. Viumln A. found In milk, toma toes, carroU. lettuce and peas, is fairly resistant to heat and Is slightly affected-by canning or by cooking, particularly when air is excluded. Vitamin D is not easily destroyed. Vitamin C. found matnlv In the clt- I rous fruits, however, is rapidly de stroyed by cooking, by drying and by storing. Fortunately, Vitamin O In tomato juice Is not spoiled by careful cooking or canning. There has been a widespread preju dice in this country against canned vegetables, and a great many people still believe that the so-called "fresh vegetables" cooked In the home con tain more vitamins than canned food. This Is probably not the case, as the home cooking of vegetables, or fruits In an open vessel may oxidize and hence destroy the vitamins, par ticularly If cooking soda is added to preserve the green color and hnprove he flavor. Most of the canners are "now taking every precaution to avoid the oxida tion of the vitamins. Fruits and vegetables are prepared when they are very fresh, and if they are to be pureed they are hashd in an atmos phre from which oxygen has been ex cluded and cooked in one that Is practically oxygen-free. The Garden GROWING BKTTKR TOMATOES An increasing custom In the West is to sow the seeds of tomatoes where the plants are to remain. When this 1b done the plants seem to be more resistant to disease. It is also a prac tice among those who are familiar with the growing of tomatoes never to grow them on the same soil two years In succession. Tomatoes most generally suggest the color red, but with the numerous varieties developed, there Is sufficient variation In color to be of Interest. There are three distinct color types; the scarlet, referred to as red: crim son, referred to as pink, and the yel low tomato. Garden favorites Include Standard Marglobe, Earllana, Bonny Best, Pon derosa, First Early and others. To insure early ripening and per fection of fruit, It Is well to train up and trim the vines. Unslaked they require spacing of four to five feet, but staked plants may be set 2 feet apart, since the growth Is all upright. On staked plants begin trimming when they are about a loot tall. They will show two main branches then. First, remove tho secondary growth which has started at the roots, next j at the place where the leaf stems Join I the orancnes win be lounu young shoots started pinch these out being careiui not to cut on tne leaves. Tho frultln? stems irrow out of thft branches betweeh the leaf Joints, and can be distinguished by the buds or flowers tney gear. These should not bo removed. A five to Btx-foot stake driven Into the ground about one foot will suffice for staking the plants. DESTRUCTION GREAT; FIRE STILL RAGES (Continued form Page One) Martial law was in operation. Lieu tenant Colonel Frederick Bradman, commander of the marine forces, was in charge of the rescue work. ' Lack of water through a break in tho water system handicapped the fire fighting. A scarcity of food stuffs brought about by the demoli tion of tho business section added to the privation. A scarcity of medl-, cal supplies existed. A Nlcuraguun Red Cross was formed, by minister of health. Dr.- Frutos' Paniagua, to aid relief work. Thirty Nlclraguan doctors came from Cor Into, Chinandega and Leon to asslstt Minister Fanlugua Issued the follow ing statement: r "Wo do not possess the necessary medical supplies adequately to cope with tho situation. Sincerely trust tho American Red Cross will be able to send aid." Hume New ItulldlngH Standing Tho only buildings of Importance left standing were new structures reinforced by concrete. The front of tho presidential palace was intact but the rear part of the bllddlng was slid ing downwards. Two of the three Managua banks were destroyed. The Anglo-South American bank was dynamited by soldiers before tho firo reached It and the Anglo-Central American Commercial bank was burned to tho ground. Tho Hotel Luponc. headquarters of Pan -Aim1 rican ulrwoys wus one of tho first structures to go. Airport Manager Harry Rammer was in the offico when tho temblor was felt and rushed outside as tho walls caved In. Tho American legation was burned and its entire files destroyed. Ellis M. Stevens, clerk at the legation was sitting on tho ports of Diedrecltas chalet when the quake came. He dashed away as the chalet slid Into Asososca lagoon. Although carrying a head wound canned by a falling beam, Colonel Bradman worked throughout the night without a wink of Bleep. Camp Do Marto, where tho marines are barracked, was transformed into a huge hospital. President Returns Returning from his summer home yesterday President Moncada and part of his cabinet camped for the night outside the palace. Ho Issued the following statement today: "A stoto of siego has been declared In tho department of Managua. The director of tho national guard will undertake the task of caring for the people and guaranteeing properties. Food will be purchased at the ex pense of the government and dis tributed gratis. Committees will be organized to relieve the poor and suf fering." It is believed that the greater part of tho deaths occurred at the pub lic market where a hugo throng had gathered at the time of the first shocks. About 10 persons were killed at the national penitentiary. Tho American refugees gathered at the marine barracks where food and nu (ileal attention was supplied them. Thousands of natives camped outside tho city along the ronds. No iH'pre ilutlim Reported Authorities posted orders that any one caught looting would be shot on tho spot. No depredations had been repoi ted. All communications were severed except those of the Tropical radio, operating from a plant outside the city. Railroad trucks circling the town weio suspended In the air at places due to landslides. The rail road was open from Corinto Asososca station, about eight miles from the city. Workers of mercy were expected from many points. The V. S. S.

The referendum, If successful in being placed on the ballot, ties up the entire sum un til the matter Is voted upon by the electorate. The legislative appropria tion is in addition to some $11,000, 000 In funds from mlllage taxes, fed eral funds and student fees. Tho delegation was headed by Henry Zorn, head of the Marlon tax organ ization, and J. H. Bernard, of Mc Mlnnvllle. The petitions will be cir culated by the tax organization from Yamhill county, assisted by other county groups. Including Clackamas and Polk counties. The issue now goes to the attorney general for bal lot title and the petitions will be ready for signatures. "In these times, we must all take a loss, and it is time the higher in stitutions cut down," said Bernard. "They promised us they would not ask additional appropriations when tho mlllage tax was voted. They did not keep their promise." Tho dele gation members believed- the - re quired number of names could be secured in a short time. When informed of the act, Gover nor Meier, briefly commented that "Tho Institutions brought this on themselves, and they have no one to blame but their own organizations. They refused to see the handwriting on tho wall. I am not at all sur prised at this action. It appeared inevitable." STHONfi TREES CROWD OVT " WEAK IX FOREST STRUGGLE STATE COLLEGE. Pa. Even in tho primeval forest there exists a strango property right among the trees. Good forest land contains usually fewer trees than poor sites, soys Prof. H. J. Lutzi, of Penn State college In a report to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Like the humans able to build beautiful homes, the trees on special ly good land obtain enough extra powers to dominance to prevent the fine site from becoming so crowded. This Is true only of the "adult" forests. In their Juvenile stages, the good sites usually support more In dividuals per acre than the poor sites. With growth comes elimination by competition. Tho number of farms in Louisiana Increased 10.2 per cent in the past decode. Nearly two million year-old seed lings will be planted in Georgia this year. If it comes a little watery, no one will blamo you if you cry over split milk. ROACIIKS EAT TREES HIT NOT UNASSISTED CAMBRIDGE. Mass.
