Thin suiiply of book will form the nuck-UH of the library to be luHtulled In the new library building, when It Hhn.ll have been se cured, and It In planned to make It an Important Ntep toward qualifying for an impropriation from Carnegie. The Woman'ti Club has necured, through ItH own efforts and through the h pedal county levy for that pur pone, about $'(MM) for county library purposes. In order to determine how to proceed In the matter of ex pending thin mim, the library com mittee Invited Mini Marvin, secretary of the state library board, to come to Hood III ver for consultation and she was In town the last of the week While here a conference was held at which County Judge Culbertson, Mayor Wright and City Attorney D'?rby were present. It was decld ed to petition the city council to pass an ordinance creating a library board. This board will then undertake the expenditure of the ap proprlatlon already made. Mr. Car negie will then be Informed that Hood Klver has secured an available site for a library and also the neces nary books for a good beginning and an appropriation will be sought. In the meantime It Is proposed to open temporary quarters In order that the books may be enjoyed by the public COVE, ORE; APPirGROWER SCORES THE RETAIL MEN Karl J. Stackland of Cove, Oregon, says that It Is not strange that the consumption of apples does not lu cre a He when one ionl,!ers the cost to the consumer. He calls attention to the fact that with an apple crop estimated to amount to about .'10, (MM),0o0 barrels last year, there was much unea-lness as to the outcome of the marketing problem. llesas that some concerted action must be taken to get apples In the hands of consumers. "It Is not strange that tipples are consumed In such limited quantities, continues Mr. Stacklai.d, "when It Is known that the retailers, the coun try over, demand a profit of from 100 to 400 per cent on the money they put Into this fruit. There may be many exceptions to such exorbitant charges, but the fact Is, that In by far the larger portion of the country the above figures are correct." Orchard I'ests Some Insects work on the twigs and bodies of trees; some bore Into the bodle; some live on the leaves; some attack the roots and some find their home on the fruit. The San Jose scale Injures the young twigs and the smooth part of the body; the same may be said of the oyster shell scale. The different kinds of borers dig their way Into the body of the trees. The aphides work on the leaves. The woolly aphis works on the roots ami to some extent on the twigs and leaves. Itinl moths eat on the young buds. The codling moth con lines Its attacks to the fruit. It does the most harm to ap ples anil to some extent to pears. Ite sldes the damage done by Insects, the fungi and bacteria do much damage In some sections to both the fruit and the trees. This Is not a complete catalogue of the pests with which the fruit grower must contend, but these are the chief ones. From such an array It must be clear that the successful fruit grower must be a wideawake man and must study these pests and know how to control them. We print our paper MONDAYS and TUESDAYS.

YOWELL & CO. Hell Building Hood River, Ore. ELEPHANTS ARE A FEATURE OF CIRCUS With the Al J. Harnes lllg Three Ring Wild Animal Circus which will give two performances In Hood lliv er on Tuesday, April 150, there Is a herd of elephants which docs almost everything with the exception of talking. They operate a l.arls-rshop, ruu a laundry, play ten pins, etc., be sides their acrobatic work. Kle phants come next to the dog In smartness but It Is rather dlllicult to teach them tricks Itecause of thelr size. In teaching an elephant to stand up on his hind legs, rope are attach ed to each of his forelegs and then attached to a crane high up In the air. At certain words of command they are geutly hoisted In the air, leaving the elephant supporting him self on his hind legs. This has to be done sometimes as often as fifteen or sixteen times before the huge beast understands what is wanted. Hut after a while simply from force of habit, he begins to raise himself at the signal. It takes about fourteen men to operate the cranes. Much the same sort of thing Is done In teaching him to He down, only In this case a rope with a slip noose Is passed around his body at the smull of his back, one hind foot and one fore foot are tied and moved out from under him, aud then the ropes are pulled gently but firmly until he lies down. Au elephant sleeps In a peculiar manner. Nearly all He on their shies with their trunks curled up, making a peculiar hissing noise at regular In tervals, something like the sound of steam Issuing from a kettle. The huge beast Is not a sound sleeper. He does not take much notice of his keeper prowling around In the night, t ut should anything strange or un usual take place, two, small red lights appear In the elephant's head and the animal Is wide awake. At the first sign of danger he trumpets shrilly. In the herd of elephants with the AMI. IJnrnes (irens there are two more than 100 years old OYSTER SHELL LOUSE IS A NEW ORCHARD PEST In many fruit districts oyster shell b'irk louse has become quite a seri ous pest, and must 1 fought by spraying. The Insect can lie readi ly recognized from Its name, for the shell or scale coating of the Insect Is shaped exactly like an ouster shell. At the experiment farm at Otta wa, Canada, whitewash has been found a very effective Insecticide for this pest. The wash Is mide by us lng 40 pounds of lime, 40 gallons of water and eight pounds of salt. This whitewash Is sprayed on the trees In autumn Immediately after the leaves have fallen, and a second applloa tlon of the same mixture Is made as soon as the first has dried. It Is claimed the salt Is not absolutely necessary for the effectiveness of the whitewash, but It has the effect of making the bark appear cleaner and brighter. liegular Sunday excursion to Park- dale.

This team and one other Maxwell Car won all trophies offered as well as all prize money in their class. The road conditions were admittedly the worst ever experienced by Glidden tourists, but the Maxwell beat out C3 other cars, some of them costing as much as $6,000. Maxwell's big victory must demonstrate to automobile purchasers the de pendability of Maxwell cars must solve the problem of what car to buy. The car illustrated hese is the Maxwell Mascotte $930 Truly termed the ideal American Family Car. No car of equal class and equal capac ity is offered within $200 of the price.
