as the result of increases in the plant
and equipment now being made, ac
cording to the announcement of XI.
Tarlow, president and general man
ar of the concern. At the same time
the Portland concern is making plans
to enter the selling field for the dis

to turn out from 600 to 1000 mat
tresses a day, compared to the presen
output, which ranges around 200. The
payroll will also be doubled or trebled
by the expansion. About 82 men are
now employed.
The company, which has been oper
ating in Portland for the past seven
years, moved to its present location
about four moinths ago as the result
of the purchase of a building from the
Siake-McFall company. The new fac
tory gave the company a floor space
of about 70,000 square feet. The ad
dition of tfie structure now In progress
of erection will give an additional
space of about 5000 square feet.
The addition to the building and
the installation of the machinery is
to be rushed as rapidly as possible
and it is expected that the additional
equipment will be ready for opera
tion by February 1. With this in
view, the changes in the selling pro
gramme to take care of the increased
output is also being rushed through,
Better Facilities Planned.
At the present time the factory is
taking care of business in the states
of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana from the local warehouse.
The establishment of headquarters in
various leading cities of the west will
mean that the. territory now being
served may be handled to better ad
vantage and will also mean that the
Portland products of the company
will invade the new territory of Call
fornia and Arizona.
The United Manufacturing com

All Men Alike?"
A
GRIPPING drama, showing the
primitive love and hatred of
strong men, with the sea as a
background, is presented in "Godless
Men," the feature at the Majestic
theater.
The story is just the kind that the
late Jack London liked to write, for
it is a virile tale of thrilling adven
ture and romance on the high seas.
"Godless men" is the screen version
of "Black Pawl," a story by Ben Ames
Williams, which ran in the Saturday
Evening Post. Mr. Williams furnished
a strong plot, which has been admir-
bly handled in the photoplay.
The most striking character in the
story is Black Pawl, a rough old sea
dog who rules the mutinous crew of
his ship, the Deborah, with the iron
hand of brutality. His son, Red
Pawl, is the most unruly member of
the ship's company, having inherited
all the ev'U characteristics of his
father. Black Pawl had taken the
lad at a tender age on a voyage, and
upon his return found that hs wife,
with their little daughter, had eloped
with another man.
The loss of his wife causes the cap
tain to deny the existence of God and
take for his creed the gospel of hate.
How he turns again to faith in a
Divine Being is one of the biggest
dramatic moments of the play. The
situation is dealt with in a novel man
ner which is refreshing, for since the
success- of "The Miracle Man" a num
ber of pictures have been released
which deal with the restoration of re
ligious faith in ways which lack
originality.
The cast of "Godless Men is well-
selected, with Russell Simpson,
Helene Chadwick and Alec B. Francis
n the starring roles.
A comedy and news reel are also on
the Majestic bill, while Cecil Teague
contributes organ accompaniment.

ASHLAND, Or., Dec 26. (Special.)
Christmas this year in Ashland was
like a spring day, the sun shining
brightly and the atmosphere warm
and pleasant. The community Christ
mas tree at the Plaza Christmas ev
was the center of attraction.
The holiday trade here was great
er this year than in former years, ac-
.. cording to the merchants. Parcel
post trafflo was heavy, but it was
' well taken care of and no congestion
resulted. The poor families in the
city, of which there are a few, were
looked after by charitable organiza
tions. The children were guests at a

204 MARKET STREET -
HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 26. (Spe
cial.) After six weeks spent at
Wash-ington, D. C, New York city
and other eastern points In the inter'
est of the Apple Growers associa
tion, A. W. Stone, executive manager
of the organization; has' returned
home optimistic over the ultimate
outcome of the marketing of the 1920
crop as well as the general iuture
outlook of the industry. Mr. Stone,
who visited various eastern ware
houses where the association has ap
ples stored, says that the demand for
the larger sizes is good. The foreign
demand will take .care of the most
of the smaller sizes, he says.
While Mr. Stone says the exchange
prospects are still uncertain, he
thinks that the larger percentage of
Newtowns, especially the smaller
sizes, will practically all bring con
trol price in England. Even though
the Dound does not advance on ex
change growers, with the fruit bring
ing the control price, will realize i
profit from English sales.
"The' apple industry," Mr. Stone
says, "seems to have reached a point
of stability. While many food com
modities have shown a sharp decline
in prices in the face of a shortage,
the decline of apples, although the
country produced a bumper crop the
past season, has been comparatively
slight"
Water Movement Topic.
Mr. Stone says ihat the water
movement of apples from the north
west throueh the Panama canal is
now an absorbing topic in apple mar
keting circles. He believes that the
high freight rates now obtaining and
the obstacles that the rail lines are
throwing in the wa;- of apple ship
pers by endeavoring to eliminte stor
age in transit privileges will be only
temporary.
'These high rates," says Mr. Ptone,
"and the accompanying obstacles to
fruit shipments by rail, will lead to
water lines' equipped with boats for
handling all classes of freight from
the northwest. If the railways pur
sue their policy ot aavancea rates,
the situation., ia the final analysis,
must result in deeper water rates or
cheaper rail rates, or both. The tem
porary 'injustice will, in fact, work
for the future welfare of the indus
try.'' .
Mr. Stone, who while in Washing
ton, met with the internal revenue
department to confer with officials
as" to the income tax of non-profit
sharing cooperative organizations of
growers, declares his session satisfac
tory.
On his return Mr. Stone has hown
friends a copy of "The Pennsylvania
Register," & daily newspaper issued
by the big new hostelry for the in
formation and entertainment of its
guests. The issue of December 11 car
ries an article, entitled, "Romance
and Delight Abide Within Skin of the
Humble Apple." The story has caused
Mr. Stone's friends and associates to
refer to him as the Frank Branch
Riley of the apple industry. The in
terview follows:
Oldest Fruit Delightful.

clared A. W. Stone, general manager
of the Apple Growers association of
Hood River, Or., who is a guest of
the Hotel Pennsylvania,
Probably Eve knew well what she
was doing when she ate the apple, for
there is no fruit in the world so good
for the complexion, declared Mr
Stone. "The apple has always been
known in this country, but because
Hood River fulfills more exactly the
necessary conditions as-to soil and
climate, it has become known as the

THISTLE LIS WANTED
lOSS GRAXGE WOCLD COMPEL
DESTRXCTIOX 'OF WEED.
Legislation Effective Xow Said to
Be Without Heavy Penalty
' to Compel Compliance.
ALBANT, Or., Dec. 26. (Special.)
Legislation to compel farmers to de
stroy Canadian thistles before they
bloom is desired by the Pomona
Grange of Linn county. 1 The grange
t a meeting this week adopted a
resolution asking the legislature of
Oregon at the coming session to enact
such a law.
The law provides for the destruc
tion of the thistles, but members of
the grange point out that there is no
sufficient penalty for failure to ob
serve it. Most farmers are trying to
eradicate the plant, but their efforts
are nullified if some one man in a
community lets the thistles on his
place go to seed and the seed blows
over the country.
Thistles have spread rapidly the
last few years in some sections. In
others they are yet very scarce. But
they have grown and scattered to
such an extent that the farmers say
it is going to require an active, well-
organized fight to keep them down.
the vicinity of the Grand Pwiirie
Grange hall, about four miles south
east of Albany, a thistle club was
formed last year and did good work in
seeing that everyone in that section
kept the thistles cut before they
bloomed.
