cial.) "Toung America" is the name of
a new patriotic organization for young
people of the United States which Is
taking concrete form here. The or

of Seattle, former instructor in chem
istry in the University of Washington,

unit In Puyallup began this Winter,
when a "chapter" of 40 men and wom
en interested in the welfare of chil
dren was organized. Last Saturday, on
the Western Washington fairgrounds.
31 boys of Puyallup signed enrollment
blanks for membership in tne nrst
"company." as the boys' organization
etoud unit is called.
Curator Peder Jensen has obtained
ten acres of ground belonging to the
city of Puyallup overlooking the val
ley for the use of "Young America"
as a Summer camping ground. The
site is ideal for the needs of the boys.
The big, new automobile building on the
western Washington fairgrounds will

HOOD RIVER, Or.. March 27. (Spe
cial.) Manager Kenneth McKay, of the
Fruit Growers' Exchange, In his re
port made at the annual meeting to
day, said the membership had grown
from 25 last March to 137 at the present
time. "Despite the fact that laet year
the crop was about a naif that of 1914,"
said Mr. McKay, "we handled last year
50.539 boxes as compared to 53,829 in
1914."
Mr. McKay said that during the com
ing season the exchange would handle
strawberries in carload lots. He esti
mated the tonnage of the apple organ
ization next Fall at 300 carloads. The
exchange has shipped all of last year's
crops with the exception of 1500 boxes
of Newtowns, which were being worked
off in small lots.
Mr. McKay's report showed that the
cost of handling apples from' the ex
change's Odell warehouse, located on
the Mount Hood Railway line, had been
three-quarters of a cent a box. The
total handling charge made by the or
ganization, cost of assembling, shipping
and storing, was 10 cents a box.

Following the meeting of stockhold
ers, the new elected directors met and
renewed contracts with the Northwest
ern Fruit Exchange for the handling of
the 1916 crops.
W. K. Gwin, manager of the cen
tral organization, who. with A. A.
Prince, secretary, and Dr. C. A. Macrum,
of Mosier. State Horticultural Commis
sioner, was here for the meeting, ad-
derssed the growers, suggesting that
they deliver their fruit to their asso
ciation at three-row ends, in case
roads penetrated the fields, in order
that might be hauled with the quickest
dispatch to central packing-houses and
placed under refrigeration.
After picking," said Mr. Gwin. "ap
ples should be under ice in 24 hours.
Northwestern apple men have been los
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
each year because of inefficient meth
ods of handling crops."
In his address Mr. Gwin told of the
success of advertising campaigns
waged in New York City on the
Skookum brand. Mr. Gwin declared
that the Skookums had sold for at
least 25 cents a box more than any
other brand on the New York market.

CHERRY PITS YIELD OILS
Relative of Imported Almond Oil
May Be Used In Drugs.
WASHINGTON. March 19. The ker
nel of the cherry pit. as long has been
known, contains a considerable quan
tity of oil. Investigations recently con
ducted bv Federal experts show that
the oily constituents of the kernel can
be converted into a fixed oil much like
almond oil, and a volatile oil prac
tically identical with oil of bitter
almonds. The residue shows, on analy
sis, ingredients that may make it a
practical cattle feed similar to linseed
cake.
The fixed oil is the most important
byproduct of cherry pits. It has a
golden-yellow color and a pleasant nut
like taste and odor. In character it
is so closely related to imported almond
oil that it is believed to possess simi
lar possibilities in the commercial
manufacture of drugs, oils and soap.
If the pits of all domestic cherries,
now thrown away at canneries, and the
pits extracted from imported cherries,
were processed in this way it is esti
mated that they would yield 320.000
pounds of fixed oil, worth about 20
cents a pound. The best quality of
this fixed oil is extracted from the
kernels in hydraulic presses.
The shells of the pits are first
cracked in a mill and the uncrushed
kernels separated with sieves. The
oil is then pressed out from the meats.
In a laboratory experiment the kernels
yielded 21 per cent of fixed oil under
a pressure of 2750 pounds to the square
inch. On a commercial scale, however,
with presses equipped for heating the
kernels under pressure, it is believed
that 30 per cent or more can be ob
tained. The oil also can be obtained
by grinding the pits and extracting by
means of solvents.

Pacific Coast Trai'k Event Prove
Attractive California Would
Change Date If Possible.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Maroh 27. (Special.) The
Pacific Coast track meet now scheduled
for Berkeley on May 6 may take place
in Tacoma on the same date unless a
different date can be arranged to ac
commodate the University of California,
which also will be satisfactory to the
northern colleges and universities, ac
cording to statements made today by
Coach Stewart.
The Tacoma Commercial Club, having
been advised from some source that
there was a possibility of staging the
big meet in the north, wrote Dr. E. J.
Stewart, athletic director at O. A. C.
yesterday explaining the readiness of
the organization to aid in making the
affair a success and offering to pay
the expenses of a team of ten men
to Tacoma. Stewart thinks that there
is an excellent possibility of the change
being made.
It seems that the University of
California management wishes the date
of the meet changed to May 13 or
April 29, preferably the latter date, be
cause of the final examinations which
are scheduled for the week of May 6
at the university. The week of May 13
is Junior week end at the University
of Oregon and the Aggie-University
dual meet is slated for May 12 at
Eugene as a feature attraction. Also
that date falls after the close of the
semester at California.
Because of the short time available
for outdoor work it Is expected that
April 29 will be unsatisfactory to the
universities of Oregon and Washing
ton although the Aggie team, on ac
count of the long training season made
possible by the Indoor track in the
Armory, would be ready for the meet.
Unless the California management be
comes reconciled to the original
schedule the proposition advanced by
the Tacoma men will be considered
seriously.

Ladies, the Prosperity of This
State Is Strictly Up to You!
Impress that statement on your minds ! Think it over! Then, ask your
selves this question:
"What's the use of the men of this city and region
struggling to bring about an era of prosperity
if we keep on buying goods manufactured two
thousand or ten thousand miles away from here?"
You see, Ladies, you buy 90 per cent of
all the merchandise that is being bought
throughout the Pacific Coast states
today.
By concentrating' your purchases, as far
as possible, on home-made goods you
can bring on an era of Prosperity such
as this Coast has never known before.
Begin to play your part today by buying
Pacific Coast Biscuits Swastika Brand
and look for our famous trade-mark
the seal of Prosperity, jyjj , on both ends
of the carton.
But we do not ask you to buy Swastika
Biscuits merely because they are made
right here. We ask you to buy them
because they are the best biscuits, and
two-thirds of all the Good Housekeepers
in this city and throughout this state
know it.
These three things utterly determine
the goodness of biscuits :
1st The ingredients used.
2d The skill of Master Bakers.
3d Facilities and conditions under
which they are made.
Well, the Pacific Coast Biscuit Com
pany uses the best ingredients money,
can buy.
the skill of Master Bakers is a
known quantity.
Facilities and Conditions governing
the manufacture of Swastika Bis
cuits are ideal.
Yes, money insures all these things
our competitors enjoy the same privi
leges. But and here's the rub we
practically deliver our biscuits crisp and
fresh from our ovens to you.
Assuredly, madam, you can help along
our Prosperity Crusade. You can talk
over our advertising with your neigh
bors. You can buy Swastika Biscuits
urge others to buy them because of
their Quality and that alone.
And thereby you can help us to increase
the stream of gold we are pouring out
weekly in wages in this and other cities
of the Coast.

The Value of Sanatogen to the Man who Worhs His Brain
"Without albumen, no life; without
phosphorus, no thought"-so runs a fa
mous saying.
True, the healthy body Rets enough albumen
and phosphorus from the daily food, but an over
taxed brain and nervous system will run short of
these vital substances because the demand outruns
the normal supply. Then we have fatigue, de
pression and worse, if nothing be done.
It is then that Sanatogen is of splendid aid. Com
bining purest albumen and organic phosphorus in
chemical union, Sanatogen takes to the fundamen
tal sources of ner-
'tjrv K:-T-MC5rai.-,v vous and mental effi
ciency just the ele

; ' APPROVED BY SCIENCE J':
supplies these elements quickly and without strain
upon digestion, giving the depleted cells real nutri
ment, real sustenance and no false stimulation.
The result of this is .well epitomized by Sir
Gilbert Parker when he writes, "Sanatogen to my
mind is a true food-tonic, giving fresh vigor to
the overworked body and mind." And by Arnold
Bennett, who tersely reports, " The effect of
Sanatogen upon the (nervous system is simply
wonderful."
It is good to remember that the medical profes
sion has set the seal of approval upon the value of
Sanatogen no less than 21,000 doctors have writ
ten letters endorsing its value.
