PHILADELPHIA. April 4. Cold stor

speeches today at the annual meeting

At the close of the afternoon session.
F. G. L'rner and Frank A. Porne, both
of New York, although not on the pro
gramme, were called to the platform
and in vigorous talks defended the
practice of storing commodities In cold
torago warehouses. They declared
that the practice was a benefit to the
public, insofar that It protected the
people from a shortage of food and
rom excessive prices. As an example.
both said that through the storage of
butter and eggs the people of tha coun

reasonable prices.
William T. Creasy, master of the
Pennsylvania State Grange.' aroused
enthusiasm when In beginning his ad-
res on the cost of living said: "We
on the farms are In favor of killing
hirkena and eating them within 24
hours."
Mr. Creasy said that one of the high
costs that entered Into production of
foodstuffs was the scarcity of farm
elp. He said that farm laborers left
the country for the cities, where they
btalned better pay. Mr. Creasy added
that tha farmer, as well as the city
dweller, feit the high cost of living,
and that part of the increased cost of
living was due to waste and extravagance.

Incident of Dr. David Jayne Hill
Recalled, as Test of "a Man and
a Society" Merit of Xew
eomer la Recognized.
LONDON. April 4. The Nation, a
weekly newspaper ot Liberal tenden
cles. deals at length this week with the
"Interesting experiment which presi
dent Wilson haa made in his appoint
ment of Walter Hines Page as Am
bassador to the Court of St. James.
"In offering the London Embassy to
Mr. Page." the Nation says. "President
Wilson haa made an interesting experi
ment. He has boldly reverted to the
scholar diplomat as the type of man
most aualiiied to represent the United
States sbroad. In doing so he has paid
a silent but striking compliment to the
good sense of the British people. Me
has assumed that what we most value
in an American Ambassador is not his
wealth and his ability to lavish it on
magnificent houses and huge entertain
ments. but his personality ana hi
achievements and the extent to which
he brines with him the true flavor of
American lite.
Dr. Hill's Situation Recalled.
The Nation declares that President
Roosevelt tried the same experiment
ith Dr. David Jayne Hill. former
American Ambassador to Germany.
After a description of Dr. Hill's previ
ous career, the Nation says:
'Dr. Hills predecessor was Mr.
Charlemagne Tower, a gentleman of
great wealth. He was prodigal of fetes
and receptions. He leased the finest
house in the capitol and greatly pleased
the Emperor by the splendor he was
able to maintain. The change was, as
Mr. Roosevelt intended It to be, a
thorough ore. It was an appeal from
the eccentric, commercialised Berlin of
today to the city of plain living: and
high thinking of a generation ago.
There Is no need to xo into the de
tails of the unhappy, but luminattng
sequel. When the Emperor learned
that, whatever Dr. Hill's other qualifi
cations for the post were, his private
means would permit him to maintain
only a modest establishment and that
tha days or splash and glitter were
over. It was one of those incidents that
revealed a man and a society. Neither
the Emperor nor Berlin came out of It
with credit.-'
Held Chiefly K no via for Wealth.
Remarking that the last three Amerl.
can Ambassadors to London were
wealthy men. the Nation continues:
In Mr. Hay's case and In Mr. Choate s,
the circumstances counted for little or
nothing in enabling them to win the
position they came to hold in British
society and public life. It was thrown
into its proper Insignificance by the at
tractiveness of their other endowments.
But It would be absurd to pretend that
the late Mr. Whltelaw Reid was quite
as successful In disguising the fact that
be waa a millionaire.
The Nation then pays tribute to Mr.
Reld'a previous public career and continues:
He had a great fondness and talent
for society, much versatility and in
gratiating manner: but it was as a
man of unusual wealth that he was
chiefly known both In America and In
Great Britain and his Ambassadorship
was distinguished beyond all others by
the highly elaborate scale on which he
preferred to live.
Spectacle Held Ineontrrnous.
"To many Englishmen nnd not a few
Americans there was something Incon
gruous in the spectacle of a representa
tive of the United States a republic
still supposed to be dedicated to Jet
fersonlan simplicity Inhabltatlng the
most splendid mansion In London and
maintaining considerably more than a
ducal state.
"President Wilson was right in
thinking from the American, even more
han the British, standpoint that there
should be a revision to the Bancroft,
Washington Irving and Lowell type
that even In these spendthrift days
wealth is not essential In a nominee to
the London Embassy. We welcome and
honor that demonstration. It fits in
with one's conception of what America
should be and at her best really Is, and
it may not be without its usefulness In
restoring to Ixndon society a more Just
sense of values."
Tne Nation warmly welcomes Mr.
Pace as an American who. it says, will
gain much and suffor nothing by com
ing to the London Embassy simply on
his own merits a a citizen and a serv
ant of the republic.
The Weekly Spectator also extends a
cordial welcome to Mr. Page.
held from October 7 to II, Inclusive,
and plans, are already tinder way to
make the meeting the greatest event
of the kind ever held here.
Tha farmers of the county are taking
nnusual interest In the fair this year.
Responding to an Invitation of local
buslneaa men who are fair-workers, 15
farmers, representing every district In
the county, met hero today with The
Dalles boosters of the fair, and for the
first time in the history of the associa
tlon farmers will co-operate with local
merchants in the management of th
big meeting, and the ranchers are
prominent on the commltteea In charge.
This co-operation assures success.
The last Legislature killed the old
appropriation of JJ1500 for each fair
district of the state and passed a new
law whereby each county Is allowed
one-twentieth of a mill of its assessed
valuation for maintaining; an annual
fair. This will amount to about $900
here. The Wasco County Court has
come to the rescue and will approprl
ate a substantial sum for premiums,
which will more than offset the loss of
money resulting from the new legisla
tlon, and bigger purses for races and
more money for premiums will be hung
up than ever before.

miles above Darrington, on the Suiat-
tle River, a sparsely settled region
that teems with big game. Last Fri
day, says the Indian, who came to Ev
erett today to collect his bounty
money, his seven-year-old son and
nine-year-old daughter left the house
to procure firewood. In a few mo
ments Enick says he heard a scream
from his daughter that caused him to
rush to her assistance.
As he left the house the Indian saw
his boy lying on the ground, while
the cougar, holding the child down
with one paw, tore at the little fel
low's eye and ear. Showing utter dis
regard for the danger she placed her
self in, the little girl had armed herself
with a stick and was beating the brute
across its head with all her might.
When he had done everything pos
sible for the boy, Enick took his rifle,
released his hounds and started on the
trail. At last he heard his hounds give
voice and knew they had treed their
quarry. Three shots brought the cou
gar dead to Ihe ground.

Lighting the Subway
Eighteen months ago there wasn't enough light to read by In
the New York subway trains. More light meant more lights or
brighter lamps. A thorough test of
G. I. MAZDA LAMPS
proved that they gave three times as much light for the same
current as ordinary carbon lamps. .
We are exclusive distributers for G. I. Mazda Lamps in Port
land. ,
You may buy them now at Reduced Prices.
