Board of Trade Issues Statement of
Products of District,
Sinlorn. The Salom Board of Trade
has completed Its general report of
tho fruit crop for thle year. The re
port says In part:
"The strawberry crop was a little
above the averago In quantity, and
the price received -was good, but the
last part of the crop was sold at 1 a
crate. Cluerrlos are being sold at the
canneries at 6 14 cents. The crop is
fair, and vory little damaged by rains
The loganberry crop Is large, and
great port of it Is being dried The
prune crop to a little below the aver
age In quantity, but excels in quality
Peaches are only half a crop, and
prices are not yet established. Ap
ples are only a half crop, and1 pears
an average, crop, with prices not yet
established."
The Board of Trade makes a tour
cm
annually, and this year's report
shows far better condl tons than here
tofore.

Heart to Heart
Talks,
By EDWIN A.. NYE.
A MISSING BOY
A correspondent from Cedarvllle, N.
., tells me a pitiful story of a miss
ing boy,
Four years ago Willie Frallnger of
that place, then aged seventeen years,
disappeared from his borne and has
not been beard from since.
Some said the boy had been murder
ed, others that be was kidnaped, but
his mother believes be Is alive and
somewhere in the west.'
The mother is grieving herself al
most to death for her boy.
She says be was a good bod and
there was no apparent reason for bU
disappearance beyond the fact that
frequently he talked of going west to
make his fortune.
And she wants the newspapers to
print the facts so that if by any chance
the eyes of her boy may rend the lines
be will know that his mother yearns
for him day und night.
Poor mother!
Thoughtless boy!
If young Fralinger is alive and
should happen to see this talk, surely
be will write home to bis mother.
He did not think.
it sometimes happens that way. A
heedless boy hopes to go to some Eldo
rado where he will make bis fortune
and then return, disclose bis Identity
and surprise, the whole community.
He does not consider the heartaches
be leaves behind.
Mnybe something In this story will
prevent some foolish boy from thus
leaving home, or It may cause some
boy who already bus made that mis
tnke to write home to bis grieving and
anxious friends.
Boy!
The days nre lonely for the old folks
at home, and the niu'hts nre long and
drenr. They think of you by day and
dream of you at night.
Write them n letter.
Tell the dear old folks that you nre
In the land of the living nnd ease their
croiimea neiirrn.
Tell them where you are and what
you nre dulnir. It mutters not whether
you nre making your drenrnx come true,
or not. It Is not your pood luck or
your bad hick I hey care so much
about
They care about yon!
A GROSS LIBEL.
Hurrah for the Cnlted States!
I have grown tired of the talk about
this country being purely mercenary,
without Ideals and "worshiping the
almighty dollar."
It Is not true.
Taken by and large, human nature is
much the samp everywhere. People
are made or a like putty. And all
people of all countries like money.
We are a young people.
We have not tbe leisure to cultivate
ourselves along certain lines. We may
lack somewhat of the finer sensibili
ties that go witb centuries of culture.
But- '
We are tbe most unselfish people
now on earth.
Nowhere else will you find so large
a proportion of good people who give
of tbelr time and money to make tbe
race better.
Nowhere!
If you have traveled In England or
on the continent you must have dis
covered that at heart tbe average Eu
ropean Is grossly avaricious. lie will
use deception and stoop to methods an
American would scorn In order to get
your money.
And so of the east
The people of tbe orient do not talk
money as we do. but they think mouey
and act money. They are subtle.
They know how to scheme and keep
their mouths closed.
Tbe oriental will do almost anything
for money.
We bave our money grubbers and
money grabbers. A part of our people
are selfish and self centered.
Nevertheless the great mass of
Americans are tbe most generous, the
most self denying, tbe kindest hearted
people in the whole world.
Nowhere else will you find so many
institutions devoted to the succor of
the helpless and unfortunate. No
where else Is so much money given to
philanthropy. Nowhere else nre to be
found so many liberal henrted, kindly
and considerate men and women.
Nowhere!
This Is not a Fourth of July speech.
It Is a vent for righteous renentment
against tbe oft repented untruth that
Americans bave no God but tbe dol
lar.
Hurrah for America!

MESSAGE OF THE ROSE.
I read a story the other day by Ethyl
Huston. I bave neither space nor elo
quence to tell It as she told It but
Tbe story Is of big Scotch John, a
broad shouldered, big hearted, contem
plative husband, and little Scotch Mag
pie, "a bonny sweet thing." his wife.
Aftpr some happy years of marriage
Maggie died. John was quieter after
that than before and much given to
drcumlne. And soon very soon a
long grave was made beside the short
er one.
-lie time after tbe death of hns
l i ii nd wife among Maggie's treas
ures was found a little envelope con
taining n dried rose nnd a scrap of pa
per on which was writtei:
"We had a small tiff Hi Is morning,
and denr John went out of the bouse.
And presently be came in again and
gave me this rose and I cried."
Just a rose and she cried!
Big, slent John ouid uothlng, but
Maggie's irarm benrt responded In
stantly, and she cried from tenderness
and Joy.
And the memory of the rose and Its
message was wholly sweet to tbe end
of her days.
My frleuds-
Why should It be so hard for us to
do the gracious thing In season?
And the tears wo waste and tbe years
we waste and the cruel wounds we
bear all because we ure not large
enough, not wise enough, to listen to
the voice of wisdom, because we arn
too proud or too vain or too blind to
pluck tbe simple rose to beal the hurt!
Just u rose now dust.
But John was forgiving enough and
bumble enough to beed the small voice
of ileu d lug love.
Doubtless "the little tiff" was a turn
ing point in the wedded life of these.
Often It Is the trivial things over which
husband und wife disagree. And these
little matters grow and grow. They
lead to coldness und resentment and
sometimes to the parting of the ways.
Uuw quickly does the heart of every
Maggie respond to tbe rose that John
silently extends!
What argument can never do the log
ic of the proffered flower will accom
plish. It Is tbe message of forgiving
love stooping that It may conquer, und
the heart of woman makes Instant an
swer.
That rose is dust. Tbe long grass
grows on the graves of John and Mary,
but this to us who live and love Is the
teaching:
Love much. Be very kind.
