It is reported that the wife of
the second Earl of Dudley has left
her husband and may seek a divorce.
He Is the elder brother of John Ward,
who married Jean Held. Hewas horn
In 1867, educated at Eton, and traveled
around the world. He was in the Im
perial Yeomanry in South Africa. Then
he entered the political field and soon
became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Later he was Governor-General of Aus
tralia. It is said that the cause of dif
ference with his wife developed when
. they were in Australia, and that It was
due to Jealousy.
Lady Dudley was Rachel, daughter
of Charles Gurney. They were married
in 1891, and have four sons and three
daughters.

' Miss Dorothy Capwell, of Oakland, is
reckoned one of the prettiest girls in
California, She returned recently from
a year spent in "finishing" abroad,
bringing with her many Paris gowns
for her debut. She was presented to
Oakland society recently by her mother,
Mrs. Herbert C. Capwell.
The Prince of Wales is beginning to
see something of the world, but while
he is a student at Oxford his parents
do not want him to go about much.
Hence they conferred a signal honor
on Mrs. Lewis Vernon Harcourt when
they granted the young Prince permis
sion to make her a visit at her country
house on the Thames. Mrs. Harcourt
is an American woman. She has been
for many years one of the leaders of
London society. Her husband is a mem
ber of the Cabinet.
A fierce competition for the cham
pionship of the world between Canada
and the United States was settled re
cently, when Florence LaDue, of Cal
gary, defeated Lucille Mulha.ll, of Okla
homa. Miss Mulhall, who is the daugh
ter of Zach Mulhall, of Oklahoma, has
held the championship for fancy roping
for many years. The meeting between
the two aspirants occurred at Calgary
at the annual 'Stampede."
Kate Barnard, of Oklahoma, has been
visiting New York for some days, in
vestigating the conduct of public in-'
stitutions and making addresses to New
York women. Miss Barnard is at the
head of the charities department of
Oklahoma, and she came East to get
ideas. When she went over Blackwell'i
Island and its institutions she. said she
didn't see how they were kept so clean.
But little Miss Barnard, if she has
something to learn in the East, thinks
she has also much to tell the Eastern
people about charities work. In her
own state she says they have raised
human life to th Jevel of the dollar.
Miss Barnard began her work for the
women and children when the people
of Oklahoma were drafting the consti
tution for that state. Finding that the
constitution - makers were ignoring
these two elements, she went to St.
Louis and studied factory -inspection.
Then she went to Chicago to examine
the work of women - and children in
factories and mines. She started a cor
respondence with men and women all
over the country to find what the world
was doing toward protecting women
and children. Then she went on the
tump and made speeches, and. by a
combination with the labor delegates
to the constitutional convention, suc
ceeded, finally, in getting the clauses
for which she was fighting Into the
constitution of the new state. The
charities of Oklahoma are not admin
istered by an appointed commission,
but by a commissioner who is elected.
And for that office Miss Barnard re
ceived more votes than Governor Has
kell six years ago, and four years later
8000 more than the present Governor.
She still has two years to serve.
.
Miss Mabel Boardman. secretary of
the American Red Cross, has received
from the White House the insignia of
the Fifth Order of the Crown, conferred
upon her by the Japanese Emperor for
distinguished service. So far as offi-.
dais here know now. It Is the first time
an American woman has been so hon
ored by Japan. The order conferred
upon Miss Boardman was specially es
tablished to recognise meritorious serv
ice done by women. The Insignia were
sent to President Tafc, president of the
American Red Cross, by Marquis Mat
sukati, head of the Japanese Red Cross.
President Taft has written to the Mar
quis and, to the Japanese Emperor
thanking them for the honor paid to
Miss Boardman, who Is probably the
closest personal friend of President and
Mrs. Taft.

Mies Juanlta Anderson. '14, of Juneau,
Alaska, is enrolled as a regular stu

and performs the classroom exercises
required of the male attendants.
What's more. Miss Anderson, deter

then to hang out her shingle as a full

forced the dubious professors to rec

become a civil engineer, with highways
as her speciality.
Notoriety Is Feared.
"I think there is a great opening for
women in Uie engineering field," said
Miss Anderson, when asked if she really
intended to make this her life work.
"Engineering is one more of the prb
fessions formerly practiced exclusively
by men, which Is at last open to the
fair sex. Personally it Isn't so hard
for me, since I love mathematics, but
it is my belief that people may think
I am hunting notoriety, which haunts

Are You an Angel?

One day a ragged little fellow, about
10 years old, was standing before a
shoe store on Broadway, bare-footed,
peering through the window and shiv
ering with cold. ; A woman riding up
the street in a beautiful carriage ob
served the forlorn little lad anI im
mediately ordered her driver to stop
In front of the store. The woman,
richly robed, , went -to the boy and
said:
"Little boy, why are you looking
so earnestly in that window?"
"I was Just asking God to, give me
a pair of shoes. Mama told me p'raps
he would if I asked him," was the re
ply. '
The woman took him by the hand
and went into the store and
asked the proprietor if he would allow
one of his clerks to go and buy her
half a dozen pairs of stockings. The
proprietor' cheerfully assented. She
then aaked him if he could give her a
basin of water and a towel, and he
replied, "Certainly," and quickly
brought them to her. '
She took the little fellow to the
back part of the store, and, removing
her gloves, washed and rubbed those
cold little feet and dried them with the
towel.
By this time the young man had re
turned with the Stockings. Placing a
pair on the boy's feet, she purchased
and gave him a pair of shoes. Then
she tied up the remaining pairs of
stockings, handed them to him, and,
patting him on the hand, she smiled
and said: "Now, my little fellow, you
feel more comfortable, I'm sure."

lad caught her hand, and, looking up

HOOD RIVER EXPERT IS '
GREAT AID TO GROWERS
Professor W. Hereford Lawrence, Formerly With Agricultural Experiment
Station at Puyallup, Obtained to Help Apple Men Improve Conditions.
BY ADPISON BENNETT.
PRACTICALLY everybody who has
ever heard of Hood River knows
that It Is an apple-growing section.
Indeed, the terms Hood River and Good
Apples are, according to the Hood
River vernacular, interchangeable and
synonymous terms. And practically
everybody who has ever eaten one of
the famous Hood River apples concurs
In these conclusions.
It is .generally known, also, that the
Hood River apples are looked after
systematically from the time they set
on the trees until they are packed and
marketed, and that a portion of this
work is not even entrusted to the most
Interested parties, the growers them
selves. This is the grading and pack
ing. That is done by an organization
which sees to it that there is a strict
uniformity in size, color and condition
of every box of apples shipped from
Hood River.
But there is another association in
the Hood River Valley whose work,
whose very existence, is unknown to a
large majority of those who think they
understand Just how it is the Hood
River product always commands the top
prices. This society or association is
called the Hood River Apple Growers'
Fellowship Association, and it is com
posed of 500 of the prominent growers
of the valley. '
These citizens banded themselves to
gether to see if they could not better
conditions in the vajley in various
ways. So they levied a tax upon mem
selves and invited Professor W. Here
ford Lawrence, then superintendent of
the Puyallup, Wash.,, Agricultural Ex
periment station, to come to Hood River
and outline a plan of operations for
them, the result being that Professor
Lawrence was hired for a year to take
up such work, which was performed so
satisfactorily that a year ago he was
"taken over," so to speak, by the coun
ty, being employed as plant Pathologist
and Fruit Inspector.
In the language of Professor Law
rence he was at first hired to "make a
study of apple tree diseases and to do
any additional work to better the condi
tions in the orchards as time might
permit." As said. Professor Lawrence
was superintendent of the Puyallup
station. He was Plant Pathologist of
the Washington station. He had been
connected with the Washington State
Agricultural College for nearly 15
years, during which .time he had ren
dered valuable services, among which
was the writing and publication of
nearly 20 bulletins.
Mr Lawrence is a graduate from tne
State' College of South Dakota the
State College of Washington and later
took graduate work at Cornell Univer
sity (New York). His scholastic work
has fitted him for the work which he
is now doing, having taken courses in
both horticulture and agriculture, and
having made diseases of plants injured
by fungi, bacteria and other causes a
special study during the past 10 years.
Entering college from the farm, pur
suing the agricultural and horticultural
work until graduation, after which
teaching experiment station work along
the same lines, solving the more prac
tical problems and later turning his en
tire attention to the practical phases
of orchard work, have given him an op
portunity to become familiar with .every
phase of the work as well as become
acquainted with all classes of people
engaged in horticultural work.
One of the conditions that had much
right man, but at any rate it was his
first criminal offense, but the Judge
gave him 20 years in prison. In Mon
tana the prisoners are allowed to choose
their work and this man has a great
love for embroidery. This silk quilt
means the work of many months and is
beautifully done.
When the man went to prison he
could scarcely read or write and for
untrained hands to do this fine work,
to keep it 80 beautifully neat, to take
such infinite pains means art. Who
was it said "Genius Is the Infinite
capacity for taking pains." This man
then has genius and at any- rate he
has the artist soul, and it Is finding ex
pression in color. His work reminds
me of that of the old Spanish artists.
I have a copy of an old altar front
done In Seville, Spain, and one is struck
at once by the similarity of the flow
ers In both. The old Spanish artists
all worked alike on these altar fronts.
You will see the same thing in those
of the old missions in California. It
sets one thinking and wondering how
to do with the first employment of
Professor Lawrence was the presence
of fire-blight In the Hood River orch
ards, about 150,000 apple trees at that
time being affected with this disease.
He has entirely eradicated this trouble,
not a tree in the valley. It is believed,
being now so affected.
In his labors Professor Lawrence
co-operates with more than a dozen
individuals and institutions, some of
them beinir as follows: United States
Bureau of Soils, of Plant Industry, of
Storage and Transportation, of Forage
Crops Investigation, and Weather
Bureau. Oregon Agricultural College
Department of Chemistry, Department
of Agronomy, Department oi Morn
culture and Department of Plant Path
ology. Also the Geological Survey and
various departments of other agricul
tural colleges and experiment sta
tions. It is this division of work that en
ables Professor Lawrence to accom
plish so much. He spends five days
of each week in the orchards of Hood
River .Valley. He practically knows
every apple tree In the valley, and he
has surely met every owner of apple
orchards who reside or frequently
visits there. He listens to every com
plaint, investigates every condition, is
ever studying the how, the why and
the wherefore anything and everything
that affects, -for good or bad, the apple
trees which he assumes to have under
his direct charge and supervision.
If Professor Lawrence had to make
all experiments and analyses required
he could accomplish very little. But
by co-operation he has been enabled to
learn the soil- conditions of every part
of the valley. Air currents and air
drainage he has studied so carefully
that he perhaps could at a. moment's
notice draw a chart of the currents
as truthfully as an engineer could
draw a diagram of the subdivisions
of the lands in the valley.
Soli Is Examined.
Take the question of soil survey, a
work. which, is Just about completed by
the Oregon Agricultural College Bu
reaus from samples sent to Washington
by Professor Lawrence. These samples
embraced every known variety of soil
In the valley, there being 15 different
types. The work embraces the compo1
sitlon of each of the types; chemical
composition, physical structure, acidity
test, to determine lime requirements,
water capacity, mineral composition,
topographical survey, use of fertilizers,
green manure, barnyard manure, ani
mal fertilizers, cold storage tests of
apples. The latter subject Is subdivid
ed as- follows: Immediate vs. delayed
storage, effect of soil type on keeping
quality, mature vs. immature picking,
well colored vs. green fruit, small vs.
large fruit, young tree vs. old tree fruit
and Irrigated vs. non-irrigated fruit.
Now these are merely a few of the
things undertaken by the professor.
There are all sorts of insects and pests,
fungi and blight, scalds and other in
juries which do or may affect trees or
fruit. Then the study of spraying
alone Is enough to take up the time of
an ordinary man who may be-said to
have 750,000 trees under his direct
charge.
Another branch of experimentation
that has taken up much of Professor
Lawrence's attention is that of cover
crops for the orchards. There is per
haps no branch of the orchard business
of more importance or less understood
than this. The professor has during
the last two years had under lnvestlga-j
this untrained man, without having cul
ture or artistic surroundings, has been
able to produce so much that Is artlatio
in design.
Mrs. Irvine-wishes to sell this quilt
for Toney, that he may have the money
to buy books, since he is ambitious to
learn and has accomplished much. He
writes a very good letter now, and It
would seem If the opportunity were
given him he might make a very reput
able citizen. He is at that stage now
after five years of imprisonment whera
it would seem if we are really trying
to reform Instead of kill out all that is
good In a man that It Is the psycho
logical moment to do something for
him. He has proved a model prisoner
and his doing creative work has been
a great thing. Had he been compelled
to work for the state in piece-work,
such as many states exact of their pris
oners, it certainly would never have
brought out the good In him that do
ing the work has. Any one wishing to
see this man's work can do so any time
by coming to my studio.
tion the growing and plowing under ot
more than 800 varieties of soil covers,
and has finally concluded that these
ten are the leaders, their value being in
the order given: Alfalfa, burr clover,
red clover, hairy or Winter vetch, com
mon or Oregon vetch, horse beans, soy
beans, field peas, rye, oats and wheaB
and lupine.
Fronts Are' Forecast.
In his co-operation with the weathef
bureau the professor has 10 sets oC
weather recording instruments in tha
valley, so stationed as to cover pracx
tically every altitude fr6m the riveB
back to the highest altitude at whlchl
trees are planted. Since he has been
there the orchards have not been
touched with frosts, but one of the pro
fessor's principal studies Is the fore
casting of frosts and a method to mln
lmize their dangers. -
In fact, it may be said that Profesgo
Lawrence Is the guardian of each and
every tree In the valley, and anything
that affects or is likely to affect tha
growth, health or vigor of the tree or
the perfection or imperfection of its
fruit, is a part of his business, and ho
labors late and early to the end that
the Hood River people may know more
about their business than any other ap
pie growers in the world.
Perhaps no better Insight could bei
given to the duties of Professor Law.
rence than the following excerpts from
a paper read by him at a meeting of
the Fellowship Association:
"What are the problems of the field
expert? Clearing and planting, tha
land cultivation, pruning, spraying,
Jnter-cropping, Irrigation, possibly
drainage, the application of fertilizers,
heating the orchard, thinning, picking,
sorting, grading, packing and deliver
ing the fruit. There Is not a single
grower here who does not meet many
problems or who does not need soma
help during some time during the year,
These same men will say, 'If so and so
had not happened, I would have had
a better crop.' In other words, the
most successful grower admits that
the maximum returns have not been
realized. At the rapid rate in the in
crease, the population will soon require
maximum returns If we are to enjoy
the many luxuries in life we now en
Joy. Cheaper Methods Needed.
"What are the unsolved problemst
The activities of the grower have been
mentioned. We need better and cheap
er methods of land ilearing, more ser
viceable tools for cultivating the land,
more knowledge of how and when to
cultivate the land, how, when and, how
much the trees should be pruneH, and
what they should be sprayed for, with
and when and how many times: what
inter-crops may be grown; what cover
and shade crops should be grown;
when, and how many times to irrigate;
when and what fertilizer or fertilizers
to use; how the land should be drained;
be familiar how to heat the orchard
against frost, followed by innumerable
things pertaining to picking, packing
and delivering the fruit. How are we
going to solve these problems?"
In appearance Professor Lawrence Is
a manly man. He has the look of a
student, while his calloused hands and
sunburned face indicates that he spends
much time outdoors and at real labor.
He Is an enthusiast when It comes to
talking about orchards and the fruits
thereof. He evidently knows his bus
iness from the ground up, and If the
Hood River people had searched the
world over they perhaps could not have
found a man who would or could have
given better service than has Profes
sor Lawrence. And It Is altogether
likely that he will remain in that val
ley In the employ of the public for
many years to come, or as long as he
chooses to remain.
Professor Lawrence Is still a young
man. his advent into the world dating
from 1876, his birth place being Lake
City Iowa. He has a wife and one
child, a boy about 24 years old.
