THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1912 Abuses Which Tend to Cause a Feeling of Unrest Disrespect n ! . Class Shown ( ) Hatred ror . Jl Is Laws S Fostered By JAMES Nv 1 ! President of MONROE kJl,J Vassir TAYLOR, y College HE crying Bin of Ameri- n can life is lawlessness, and the tendency toward class hatred is deplorable, Tho duty of the educated class es is to tcacb restraint. Attacks are made upon the laws and the judges and legislators as a result of tho growing unrest. What do we gain by impatient real? Striving for immediate re sults in education seems to result either in narrower training or in the cramming of children with knowledge which is confusing and a hindrance to all normal develop ment. In legislation it seems to result in leading us to trust to laws i instead of educating the people in principles of life, and our HASTE IK LAWMAKING IS RE VENGED UTON US BY REAC TIONS TIIAT LEAVE US IN WORSE CONDITION THAN BEFORE. THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW IT8ELF, BY BAD METHODS, RED TAPE, TECHNICALITIES THAT DEFEAT JUSTICE AND INEXCUSA BLE DELAYS, HAS A VAST DEAL TO ANSWER FOR. BUT IF IT WERE TENFOLD WORSE IT COULD NOT EXCUSE THE TEACH ING AND EXAMPLE OF LAW LESSN ESS WHICH ATTACKS COURTS AND JUDGES WITHOUT RESTRAINT AND WHICH SETS UP ITS OWN STANDARDS. MORTGAGES ON LAND. Why It Is Essential That Thsy Should Bs Rscordsd. As the value of laud to the owner Increases so does the security of mort gage Investments given on that land Increase. A mortgage may be consid ered as a deed of the land which re vests the title In the original owner or his successor on the paying off of the mortgage or the bond or note which the mortgage secures. Mortgages are recorded in public offices, called registers, recorders or county clerks' ofUccs, in much the same way that deeds are, so that any one buying the land is bound to take no tice of them, and the land is bound by them, no matter to whom the land Is conveyed, and no one has a right to ay that he bought the land not know ing that a mortgage was on It, for he Is presumed by law to know such facts, as a search of the title In theso public offices would reveal. If, however, tho holder of the mort gage does not cause the mortgage to be recorded then any Innocent pur chaser of (he land can take it clear of the lien of the mortgngc. In no particular has the law of this country gone further than In the effort to secure the title of the landowner and the security of the mortgage hold er, and no investments are more high ly regarded by the conservative busi ness man than those founded on the Imperishable surface of the earth. Christian Herald. or four or five, or whatever number they think proper, but the man with a figure that is constantly trying to escape Its environment does not care about conventions. What be wants is buttons enough to keep bis clothes In shape. " 'Put 'em closer together,' he says. 'so the strain won't all come on two or three buttons.' "So we put thera closer together. and the result is that stout people fre quently have twice as many buttons on their clothes as fashion calls for. New York Times. An Abl Managsr. A western senator was telling a sto ry about an able campaign manager. "He Is a remarkably economical chop," said the senator. "He can make a dollar go further In a campaign than any man I kuow. They tell a story about him a story thnt shows what a manager he Is. It seems he went Into a cigar store one day to get a light Well, as he was lighting up a man entered and bought three five cent cigars. As soon as the man left our friend said quickly: " 'Those cigars are six for a quarter, ain't theyr " 'Yes. sir.' said the salesman. "Our friend laid down a dime. 'Gimme.' he said, 'the other three then.' "New Y'ork Tribune. STANDARD APPLE BOX IS PROPOSED ('. K. WtiUtler, a prominent apple grower if the Kokub Klver dUtrli t In Oregon, who wan wnt to Wbxlilng ton city by the Itogue Klver Valley Fruit (irowers' AxHocbi tlou at the time the bill HtHndurdlzliiK apple boxes and barrel wiih before Con gress which mcuxure was defeated luHofur uri It relates to boxes has uow prepared a bill standardizing apple boxes, that be propoHes to submit to the next whhIoii of Con gress He has sent copies of his measure to newspapers and growers tu the i'acltie Northwest and asks tor comments on It. The bill reads: "Section 1. That the standard box for apples shall lie of the follow ing dimensions when measured with out distention of Its parts. Depth of end, 10' Inches; width of end. 11 Itichtt,; length of box, is inches Inside measurement, representing as nearly as possible 2171 cubic Inches. "Section 2.

( rnlrty fourth statutes, page Tiis)." It will be noticed that the dimen sions of the box In Mr. Whistler's bill are exactly the same as those in what Is known In the North west as the standard upple box." This ap ple box In use In the Northwest was adopted by the Northwest Fruit Growers' Association, composed of five states and British Columbia. The California apple box would have to be slightly changed to conform to this standard. UMBRELLA HANDLES. In Franc Thay Shap Them aa Thay Grow In Nuraariaa. Most of the handles of canes, alpen stocks, parasols and umbrellas used In France are grown in nurseries. Ash, maple, oak, chestnut and other woods are nsed. In the early part of the first year after planting the young trees are cut near the ground to bring about the formation of numerous sprouts. The lower branches are removed, and only a plume of leaves Is left. Early In the spring the sprouts are subjected to a surgical operation. Their bark Is cut, and the wood Is carved in different designs, which are swollen by the sap and grow In high relief as the tree develops. Special In struments are used for the cutting and designing. Thus carved, the sprouts grow for three years. At the end of the tntrd year the for est of umbrella handh s Is cut, and the cuts are dried In the sun and then giv en a vapor bath, after which they are put Into the hands of skilled workmen, who peel them with one quick move ment When skinned the peelers cut thera to the required lengths nnd send thera to the umbrella maker, who varnishes them. If the shnpe dee'red Is a ring or other open form a ring or oval or square Is grafted to the natural stalk, bound closely, and left to grow Into place. Harper's. Extra Button.

Op posite him was a silent stranger, his only companion. Between London and Derby no word passed. Then, as the train drew out of Derby, he said pleas antly, "Good line, this, sir. eh?" The stranger replied: "I think it's a beastly bad line. I was killed on it two years ago." Ha Shouldn't. A man with a donkey for sale, hear ing that a friend wanted to buy one, sent him the following, written on a postal card: "Dear Jack, if you are looking for a really good donkey, please don't forget me."

The main switches are then closed and the small knife switch beside the clock opened. The clock is then set to turn the current into the stove at the selected time. When the clock closes the switch, the current is ap plied just long enough to bring the vegetables to a proper temperature, that insures the breaking down of their starchy particles.
