Child Labor Good Thing
if Not Abused
Br LUTHER H. CULICK. Director of the Department of Child Hygiene
of the Rusk)I Sate Foundation
CHE CAUSE OF UNREST AMONG BOYS AND GIRLS TODAY
IS THE LACK OF CHILD LABOR.
Children are learning about work, but not doing it. At
school they make kites and other things never used. In days
jrone by the child WORKED IS THE HOME, but today most of
its time outsido of sleeping, eating and dressing is spent in the public
schools LEARNING HOW TO WORK.
This absence of work is the cause of the present unrest among
bovs and girls. The girls aro absolutely foolish because of having
this responsibility of work taken off their shoulders. There is no
training about work that is equal to being UP AGAINST THE
REAL TIIINCS.
WE MUST HAVE CHILD LABOR, FOR WORK IS THE ONLY
THING THAT WILL GIVE THIS MORAL DISCIPLINE. IT IS ONLY
THE BRUTAL ABUSE OF CHILD LABOR THAT IS INJURIOUS.
SAY HOOD RIVER
WOULD SELL DIRECT
From the Journal
Hood River apple Interesta are to
be directly represented in the Portland
wholesale trade, and it is likely that
representatives will be secured at Se
attle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
ii. uTvement will be made for tin
coming season's trade, according to re
ports received this morning.
The name of the organization that
will sell direct to retailers has not yet
been made public, but it is under
stood to be an amalgamation of vari
us big shipping concerns of America's
premier apple city.
The object of establishing branch
houses In each of the leading cities of
the coast is said to be an effort to
take better care of the products. It is
stated that the apple people will al
ways have at least two carloads of
stock on hand and that no other fruit
except that grown in the Hood River
section will be handled.
The determination of the Hood Riv
er people to establish a branch office
here is said to be the result of what
the apple people claim as discrimina
tion against them by wholesalers. This
is denied by the latter, who said they
purchase their stock where they can
get it the cheapest and at the same
price Hood River is given the prefer
ence. MUSICIAN S A REAL ARTIST
There is a talented musician in the
Schubert Company, whose work for
many years past has been the real
foundation of this noted organization's
success. Quietly, unassumingly, art 1 9
'cally.she has served her art earnestly
rora a great love of it. Other aspir
wts for fame, with but a small portion
of her great ability, have made desper
ate efforts to advertise themselves in
to renown by circus methods obnox
ious to all real artists, while Lovie
Zendt Pnrcell has been serving the
divine muse gracefully and royally. It
is her phenomenally deep voice that
gives the Schubert Ladies' Quartette
such an unrivalled tonal foundation,
and has won them the undisputed title
of "Peerless." Hear her February 11

KLICKITAT FIGHTS
'FOR COUNTY DIVISION
Rev. J. G. Tate of this city, pastor
at White Salmon, is among the dele
gation from the latter place who went
to Olympia to wage the fight for coun
ty division. A number of war horses
from the eastern end of the county are
also at the capital and one of the
stormiest sesion on record is expected.
Attorney N. B. Brooks of Ooldendale
is taking care of the anti-division end
of the affair, while Rev. Tate and sev
eral other prominent citizens of White
Salmon are in attendance to lend their
aid to the divisionists. Mr. Brooks
won his election as repreentative last
November on the anti-division propo
sition, the entire east end of the coun
ty voting for him, while his opponent
C. S. Spencer of White Salmon, lost
on the vision question, being only
about 75 votes behind Brooks.
The east end of the county, includ
ing the county seat at Goldendale, is
greatly opposed to county division at
this time, claiming the county is too
young.
At this time the county seat is not
In a convenient place for the west end
people, and it is a very difficult place
to reach and at which to transact
county business. It requires about
four days' time by team to reach Gold
endale and return from Trout Lake val
ley or any place in the west end of
the county, and is expensive to go by
stage or railway.
The west end people claim that they
pay enormous taxes into the county
coffers and do not get much of it ex
pended on roads, bridges and other
improvements. They claim, also, that
the west end is ignored in every way
possible.

APPLE MARKET IS
REPORTER STRONGER
Recent market reports from the
East show a stronger tendency in the
apple markets there. Following are
two such reports. The first is from
Chicago:
"The apple market was reported to
be advancing this week, with a steady
feeling on all good cold storage stock.
Common storage was moving out quite
freely, and it was not thought there is
a great deal of it yet to be disposed
of. Apple men were inclined to hold
their prices rather firmly this week, in
asmuch as the Jump In the orange mar
ket on account of the freeze In Cali
fornia caused a good many buyers to
turn their attention from oranges to
apples.
"New York operators were reported
to be holding firm on their storage
goods- and not evincing any special
desire to sell at present prices. It
was said they were holding Ben Davis
with a view to getting as high as $3
later on, and they expected Baldwins
to bring $3 to $3.25.
"Baldwins were practically the only
variety still held in common storage
in any considerable quantities, and
prices on this stock in car lots were
quoted at S2.35 to $2.50. Cold storage
Spies in car lots were selling at $3.25
to $3.50 per barrel, Kings $3.75 to
$4.25, Jonathans and Grimes Goldens
$44 to $4.50, Greenings $3 to $3.50,
Baldwins $2.60 to $2.75, and Russets
$3.75 to $4."
The second, from Rochester, is as
follows:
"Larger shipments of apples were
made from western New York stations
this week, many cars going on consign
ment. Firm prices were received for
the bulk of the fruit. Shippers receiv
ed from $1.90 to $2.25 per barrel for
Baldwins, according to quality, most
of the sales being common storage
fruit. The best Greenings brought
$2.75 to $3 , with some common stor
age ones going as low as $1.90 to $2.25
per barrel. Not much was done in
Kings for the reason that holdings are
light as compared with Baldwins and
Greenings.
Better Demand Expected
"Heavy shipments of apples were
made from up-state points during De
cember, it being estimated that more
than 2,250 cars were moved, which
compares favorably with shipments in
previous months of this season and
with the corresponding periods of last
year. Dealers estimate that the apple
holdings were reduced fully 15 per
cent during the month recently closed,
and they expect the movement this
month to be almost as heavy. The de-
with fewer oranges to compete with
dealers believe there will be a larger
demand for apples."
ADVISE ONE-YEAR-OLD TREES
Stark Brothers' Nurseries & Orch
ard Company of Louisiana, Mo., in
their 1913 spring catalogue. Just off
the press, urge growers to plant one-year-old
trees. They say:
"For many years we have advocated
the planting of one-year-old trees, ex
perience and observation having prov
en to us conclusively that they are the
best. In addition to the orchards that
have come under our eyes, we have
kept in touch with orchardists and ex
periment stations in nearly every state
in the Union and these practical meu
are almost as one in their positive
statements that one-year-old trees are
a better orchard foundation than an
older tree.
"In the first place, one-year-old ap
ple trees cost the planter less, are
cheaper to plant and the loss the first
season is much less.
"A one-year-old tree stands the
shock of transplanting from the nur
sery row to its permanent home in the
orchard - much better than an older
tree. There are no extra large roots
to be cut off In digging instead, near
ly all the smaller and fibrous roots re
main, take hold of the soil quickly
and start growth at once.
"One of the strongest arguments for
the planting of one-year-old apple trees
is that the tree can be headed Just
exactly as it should be. In other
words the limbs that are to form the
framework of the tree can be allowed
to grow Just the right height from the
ground and Just the right number of
limbs left all other buds are rubbed
off and the strength thrown into the
ones you want to grow.
"One-year-old trees will come Into
bearing Just as quickly as older trees
planted at the same time and experi
ence has proven conclusively will
make longer-lived orchard trees."
Since the Saturday evening dances
at Hellbronner Hall have been discon
tinued a Saturday Night Club has been
organized and dances will be given
every Saturday evening at the Com
mercial Club Hall. Harmon's orches
tra will furnish mimic. It Is said that
no rowdyism will he tolerated and that
the dances will be orderly In every
respect All are Invited.

MAY BE EMPLOYED
ON PRIVATE WORK
Professor Lawrence, who has dis
continued his services for the county
because of the reduction of his salary
to $3 a day, may be employed by a
number of local orchardists. In that
case his work would be confined to
the orchards owned by these men and
growers throughout the county would
not benefit. A move has been Btarted
by a number of the larger growers to
employ Prof. Lawrenc on account of
the valuable research work which he
is carrying out. However, Professor
Lawrence has not as yet made any
definite arrangements with them and
it is believed that some means will be
found whereby his services can be
retained for the benefit of all until
legilatlon is effected whereby the coun
ty can again employ him at a reason'
able salary.
KNEW WORLD'S BIGGEST WOMAN
Several Local Missourlans Had Met
Giantess, Recently Deceased
Several local Missourians, among
them W. R. Sherwood, were well ac
quainted with Miss Ella Ewing of
Gorln, Mo., the tallest woman in the
world, who died a few days ago. She
was eight feet, four Inches in height.
Her father, who survives, is six feet
tall, and her mother was five feet nine
Inches in height.
As the father stood beside his
daughter he looked like a child in size.
TJp to 1892, Miss Ewing displayed no
unusual characteristics, but was just
like other little Missouri girls. After
she had reached her ninth birthday
she began to grow very rapidly, and at
10 years of age she measured six feet
nine inches.
At this period she suffered a good
deal of discomfort, as nothing was
large enough for her, beds, tables,
chairs and other articles of furniture
being ridiculously small for the young
giantess.
None of the garments worn by ordi
nary women could be worn by her, and
she soon outgrew those expressly
made for herself.
A desk and seat constructed for her
use at school were quickly outgrown.
Then, too, it was impossible for her
to find suitable occupations and com
panions. Wlien she was 7 feet tall she had
the tastes and ideas of a little girl. She
never could get a bed large enough
for her to sleep in comfortably and
could not look out of an ordinary win
dow or into an ordinary mirror with
out stooping uncomfortably.
She was in great danger of knocking
her head against chandeliers or the
tops of doorways, and found it ex
tremely inconvenient to sit at an ordi
nary table.
In later life Miss Ewing toured
America and Europe with Barnum's
Circus and although she suffered some
discomforts on trains and steamers,
she bore them philosophically.
But during the exciting life of travel
and display she kept an ideal ever be
fore her. It was to save up her hand
some salary and possess a home of her
own, where everything should be built
with special reference to her remark
able height.
And at last the woman of eight feet
four inches realized the ambition
which filled her heart when she was a
little girl only seven feet high.
The home in which Miss Ewing died
has doors 10 feet high, ceilings 15 feet
and windows as high as the doors, so
that she could go in and out and look
out of the windows without stooping.
All the articles of furniture are propor
tionally large.
CHURCH DEACONS, TAKE NOTICEI
A contemporary tells us of a novel
contribution basket for churches in
vented by an Oklahoma man. If a per
son drops in a quarter or more in the
box there is silence; if he drops In a
dime a bell rings, a nickel sounds a
whistle and a penny fires a blank
cartridge. If one pretends to be asleep
when the box Is passed, it wakens hlro
with a watchman's rattle, and a-kodak
takes his picture. Unfortunately the
name and postoffice address of the in
ventor are not given. There are a
number of good deacons here who
would like to get into communication
with him.
