RED CROSS CHRISTMAS STAMPS The wurl'l grow kindly a it grows old. Each reL-urrins Christ mas brings son.o in'iv device of human intellij;''iuv Hgrtint the evils which l-s't iw, says the Ore gon ian. Th' war agiiit tuWrou- losis, the white plague, has I'ecn particularly fertile in calling out the resources of militant love This year the Red Cross stamp of fers a novel and f icile opportunity for everybody to take a hand in the fight. Its direct purpose is to collect funds to maintain open air day camps for tuberculous pa tients. The stamps are on sale in tne stores about town. A penny apiece is the price. You buy h'indred or a thousand and stick them on everything you send by mail, letters, parcels, Christmas gifts. When the recipient sees the stamp with its message of world wide humanity, it sets his icv old heart aglow and he rushes down to the store to buv a bunrh for himself, and so the blessed flame will blaze around the world. The Re Cross stamp appeals to the deeps of gwdness in everybody. hollv unselfish, its voice utters the plaint of the helpless. It ha taken upon its soul the woes of the unfriended. It bears the bur dens of the weak. Buy its Christ mas stamps and vou lend a hand in a crusad where there is no glory to win and no profit to be earned. It is pure kindliness and human brotherhood. Every penny contributed will do its part to ex tripate the white plague. It w ill help cure the diseased and at the same time protect the healthy. Tuberculosis is a menace to every being that breathes. .Safety from it is assured only when its germs have been extripated from the world, so that we buy our own welfare when we spend money for Red Cross stamps, and we buy it cheap. OVERPRODUCTION rTM ... i i ne overproduction dug seems to have reached Pennsylvania ac cording to the Philadelphia Rulle tin, which puts it promptly to rout in the following article: The fear recently expressed ly State Zooloflut Surface tlmt IVnn y h im U fanner may make a fad of orchard planting mid overdo the fruit Industry eemn to l,e a uround lesM one.

There need le no fear that Philadelphia will lie overstocked with apples through the adoption of m-len title methods. HOQUIAM KNOCKS We note that some of the choic est apples from the Hood River fair were sent to King William and King Edward. We hope they will not be allowed to rot as hap pened to the lot sent last year. Then they were not only refused by the royal personages, but the consignors had to pay some eighty dollars charges. But that is a state secret and should not be mentioned. Iloquiam Sawyer. What have we done to Iloquiam? We thought it was engaged in the saw mill business. We refer this to Tom Richardson and appeal to his diplomacy. Iloquiam, how could vou, when we have been ac quiring a hoarseness from shout ing that you raise the biggest saw logs and more trouble than any town in the country? TAKES THE BUN The Salem Statesman remarks: The Hood River district gets more free publicity through the over enthusiastic attendants at a church fair in Cincinnati who bid in two apples of the Wolf River variety at $.'5.75 and $175 respec tively, . the fruit having been man, as in the days of yore.

Eleven and a half inches of rainfall last month and we're still shy that much on the average. We don't know how others feel about it, but we'd be satisfied for 1909 to go a little shy of its aver age. If it doesn't somebody better get in a stock of duck boots. According to the Fruitman's Guide J. L. Dumas has been pay ing too much attention to the size of the proposed apple box und not enough to the way he fills the present one. After all, when it comes down to brass tacks, you have to deliver the goods in apples as in other things.

It is understood tlmt the customs schedules affect inn Canada will be revised. I lie latest tariff act authorizes t lie president to apply maximum and minimum rates, wherever he liiids discrimination against American wares. Heretofore Canada has been one of our best cus tomers, but recent acts indicate that some of the business is to lie cut off.
