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.

the plaint of the helpless. It ha
taken upon its soul the woes of

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

same time protect the healthy.

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. Is
the Judge afraid that man wont
be himself?
Senator Bourne, as the expira
tion of tiis term of office draws
near, is developing a tendency
toward w hat the late Gryver Cleve
land referred to as newspaper
statesmanship. What Oregon
needs is the real thing.
If that saloon measure goes into
effect in The Dallea the mayor and
the council men may find it neces
sary to fortify themselves in the
city hall and call out the fire de
partment to reduce the tempera
ture. 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. A fancy label
and a loud spiel don't get the
money.
