At each section of the cross streets there will be spacious divisions along: the curbs, which will be decorated and landscaped by the professional florists and florists and nurserymen of the city. These decorations themselves will com prise a most interesting" and impressive feature, with displays of Oregon plants and flowers covering- a wide range, be sides choice roses.

More than 60 varieties from the large, hardy perpetuals to the daintiest of blooms and various picturesque ramblers will be represented in this curb exhibit of growing .and blooming bushes. Some of these bushes are now more than four feet tall and will be in the height of bloom. Down through the middle of Sixth street there will be a long line of ar tistically constructed booths, in which the various districts will make their displays. There will be about 20 dif ferent booths, and all the residence sec tions from Portland Heights to Monta villa and from Sellwood to St. Johns will compete for honors and the at tractive prizes offered. It is estimated that the cut roses exhibited will run high into the hundreds of thousands. The assignment of booths, so that no favoritism shall be shown, will be made by drawing numbers. This will be done at the meeting of the district directors next Thursday evening at the Commer cial Club. Each booth will be num bered and the district will draw a card, taking the booth represented by the number of the card drawn. The entire district display will be un der the supervision of Secretary J. A, Currey. of the Rose Festival Associa tion, who was formerly president of the Portland Rose Society.

MANY ASKED TO ATTEND Portland Men to Address Session In Behalf of Opening Plant and Handling Powell Valley Prod- ' nets on Puyallnp Plan. A meting will be held Monday night at the Gresham library to take up the question of organizing a producers' cooperative association and cannery. Every one between Portland and the Cascades and the Clackamas and Co lumbia River has been invited to at tend. W W. Cotton and J. Fred Lar son, of Portland, will talk. The meet ing will be held under the auspices of the Gresham Commercial Club. The announcement says: "If an organization of this kind can be effected here, it spells prosperity for the entire community; it means a pay roll; it means a market with a fair price for everything you raise; It means employment for men, women and children; it means that large hold ings of real estate will be divided up into small tracts, and that homes will be built and - maintained on these tracts. ' Puyallnp Viewed u Model. "It is proposed to organize along the lines similar to those under which Puyallup and Eugene people have at tained such remarkable results. We are told and figures are brought for ward to substantiate the statements, that growers in these communities are making a net profit of from 10 to 20 per cent on land valued at from $500 to $1000 an acre." "Gresham and the country tributary have all the advantages for growing and marketing fruit and produce that these places have, and have some ad vantages that they do not possess." Committee Makes Plana. A special committee from the Gres ham Club has the arrangements for the meeting in hand. A preliminary meeting of the club was held last night. Business men of Gresham, Pleasant Valley and other districts were present. It is . desired to pro cure the cooperation, of at least 800 growers and more, if possible, in the movement. A number of prominent men in Port land are interested, including W. W. Cotton. J. Fred Larson. Tom Richard son, Grant Sager, H. A. Lewis, H. E. Davis, Charles Cleveland, M O. Nelson, H. M. Miller, F. H. Lehman. O. A. Eastman, Theodore Brugger, and many others. They have been arguing that the present methods of farming and trans portation in Powell Valley are not producing the best results. Powell Valley is a great district traversed by the Mount Hood and Portland, Rail way, Light & Power Company lines. At Gresham land is held as high as $500 an acre, but there is much land unimproved at much smaller prices that would be made available. It is set forth that if 300 or 500 growers will undertake to grow loganberries and garden produce suitable for can ning, a market can be developed at home for the surplus. DELINQUENT IS PROBLEM Dr. House Says Society Should Pre vent, Not Punish, - Crime. The Social Service Club met Friday night at the Hazelwood. where dinner was followed by several addresses. Judge Gantenbein presided. Papers were read by Dr. William House, Miss Ida M. Manley and George Thacher. Methods of dealing with the delinquents and defectives was the general teplo of discussion. "I do not believe in too much sentl mentallsm in considering the cases of the delinquent.", said Pr. House, "iaere must be punishment, but let the pun ishment fit the criminal, not the crime. An understanding of conditions will solve many of the problems. Morality is strictly a matter of convention. It is not acquired as an instinct. It is largely a matter of education, train ing and environment. The object of society should be not so much to pun ish crime as to prevent it." 'MEXICO' IS Y. M. C. A. TOPIC Rev. V. L. Mellinger Will Tell of His Recent Visit There. Mexico" will be the .timely topic of discussion at the men's meeting in the auditorium of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association this after noon at 3:15 o'clock. The speaker will be Rev. W.

The struggle to win and maintain first place, and failing that, to keep above the unlucky 13th position on the list, is a vigorous one, and each candi date has a big organization of support ters clipping coupons from the news papers, buying goods at the stores where the votes are given away with purchases, and getting them at Festi val headquarters, where they may be purchased. The candidate polling the highest number of votes at the close of the contest, on May 16, Is to be "Queen Rose," and will reign with "Rex Ore gonus" over the three-day Rose Festi val celebration. The 11 candidates scoring the next highest numbers will be royal princesses and maids of hon or, and will go with "Queen Rose" on her tour by special car of seven Pa cific Coast cities, a luxurious 10-day trip, which will Include stops and lav ish hospitality at Tacoma. Seatle, North Yakima, Spokane, Salt Lake, Los Ange les and San Francisco.

They are mak ing extensive plans and arranging de tails for making the 10-day trip a suc cession of delightful experiences for "Queen Rose" and her royal suite. Mo tor rides and Bcenic side trips, ban quets, luncheons, serenading and many other forms of entertainment will be on the 10-day programme, and the girls will be kept enjoying themselves from the time the special car leaves Portland on May 25, until its return 10 days later.

TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free Pre scriptionTry It if Your Eyes Give You Trouble. Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles, because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor ail ment, but none for their eye troubles. They neglect their eyes, because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eye specialist, who would, any way, charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten-cent store, and often times get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that every one should use? S grains Optona, (1 Tablet) 2 ounces Water. Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription keeps the eyes clean and quickly overcomes Inflammation and irritation. Weak, watery, work-strained eyes, granular lids and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by Its use. Many who wear glasses have discarded them after using it for a few weeks. It is good for the eyes, and will not injure the most sensitive eyes of an Infant or the aged. The Owl Drug Co. or any other druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try It. and know for once what real eye comfort Is. Adv.
