If Millard Lownsdale tunes hit

apple as melodiously ae it ia in
"eooc and etory." Hood River
may as well get off the top of Ml
Hood, for Hood River will be
proven a 'four-flusher."
For a trust-buster Mr. Hughe ie
starting out finely. It is on file at
Albany, N. Y., that the trust men
like J. P. Morgan only put up a
little over two hundred thousand
dollars for Mr. Hughe' campaign.
Hughes spent only IGOO but he
didn't need to put up, at the trust
did it for him. A fin trust bus

Millard Lownsdale, a LaFayette
apple grower, has called Hood
River' bluff and now asks for an
exhibit and test between Willam
ette Valley and Hood River apples.
Millard is one Willamette Valley
orchardist who baa called the turn.
As he raises thousands of boxes of
apples every year he know a thing
or two about the business. As a
matter of fact the Willamette
Valley non-irrigated apple is a
better keeper any time than the
irrigated product.
Brer Hoge, of the Times, grieves
because the Salem Journal doe
not clip from the Argua along with
other religion publications. For
the benefit of Brer Hoge the Argus
will say that it considers Hofer too

Baker was the chap who saved the
state from "dishonor" so many
times as state chairman of the
dominant party. Baker always
bucks everything that is not a
part of the machine, and the ma
chine has always backed him up
while "Frankie" yelled "patriots,
stand by your party." It is to be
hoped the state will invite Frank
to take his old junk out of the
grounds that it is so tainted that it
etnells to decency.

so no rule or regulation.
Her father, William Lloyd, had been
perceptibly troubled when approached
by Toiu ou the subject of hi love and
desire for liorotliy.
"I don't know of a fellow anywber
I think as iiiut-b of as I do of you
Tom. and there I no one els whom
I would like to have for a sou-ln-law,
but you haveu't said anything to her
yet."
"No. Still, of course, she must know
I love her."
Lloyd smiled.
"Very likely. But I don't want yon
to say anything to ber uutll you havt
known her longer uutll you are en
tlrely sure you care enough."
Tom stared.
"Do you think any oue could know
ber at all aud uot love her?"
"I must admit," replied Lloyd, "thai
we have doue all we could to spoil
Dorothy, and yet she Is not (polled to
us. She has always bad ber own way,
but It ha been such a witching, sweet
way we were glad to give It to ber. II
I our deareot wish and hope that b
may always continue In ber prluc
role.
"She has many little characteristic
that we can laugh at, but to a con
ventional, practical, systematic natur
like yours I fear will prove detracting
Her oblivion to the flight of time, bi
Irresponsibility and utter disregard of
anything approaching a system will b
wearisome to you, I fear, after tb
glamour of courtship aud honeymoon Is
over. You must take her a sh Is,
with no thought of alteration." -
Tom protected that he loved Dorothy
as she was aud that In naught would
he have ber cbauged, but Lloyd bad
seen bis looks of Impatience aud their
udden vanishing this morning.
"There'll come a time when bla Im
patience will linger after Dorothy's ar
rival ou the scene," be reflected, with s
sigh.
Meanwhile Tom wa mildly remark
ing to Dorothy that be feared they
would be late for the starting of the re
gatta. Dorothy gayly rejoined that sbs
bad never seen the starting of any
thing.
"I am dreadfully unpuuctual," b
added, with a little slgb. "If Incon
venient for my friend, but I can't help
It. I get up late In the morning and
everything has begun. I've never seen
the flint uct of a matluee yet."
"Don't you breakfast with your fa
ther and mother?" he asked gravely.
"Breakfast!" she echoed, wltb a little)
shriek. "I've never seen a breakfast
table. I was brought up that way. I
was a delicate child, and they never
awoke me, and now, oh, there' some
thing deadly In the early morning sun
shine! It seems so lonesome at tb
starting of day. Do you think It such
a crime a your face Indicate?"
I really think you ought to break
fast with your parents, Dorothy," was
the seriously spoken rejoinder.
Do you, Tom?" she asked deject
edly.
He doesn't know-he can't Imagine
what n difficult tiling It would be for
me," she thought. "It would be al
strange to me as It would to him."
An Inspiration came to her.
Tom," she asked, "If I turn ovr a
new leaf and get up to breakfast, will
you do something for me?"
Ill face glowed wltb enthusiasm and
something else.
"There' nothing In the world I
wouldn't do for you, Dorothy."
"Well, I'll get up to breakfait and
make an effort to be on time If you
will part your hair In the middle."
"What?"
"Yes; It's the only flaw I've discov
ered In you, Tom. I can't bear hair
parted on the side. It's so old fash
ioned." "But I'd look perfectly Idiotic wltb
myhalr parted In the rnlddl," h pro
tested, appalled at lln primpivt.
"Now yon ran mv," sho erlo I In ti l

Tom w that this mis his hour, and
he met It uutllucliiiiKly.
"It's a ciniMi-t, 1 frothy. I'll part
my hair In the middle or anywhere ir
you will set up In the morning and oc
casionally consult N tlmeplei."
That aame evening Dorothy revolved
the first piece- of advice ever bestowed
HHl her by ber adoring father.
"Vou are quite grow 11 up, lHrothy,"
he suggested gently, "and don't you
thluk you shi.nl, I 1 a little moiv sy

life?"
"Et tu. Unite!" she thought, saying
aloud: "Say 110 more, papa, I have
promised Tom to get up to l.reukfust
every morning and that 1 would try
and be on time gvnorully."
"You have?" be exclaimed In surprise
and with the thought that she surely
must love Tom.
"Yea, for a ooiisldorntl.iii. Ho la to
part hla hair In the inld.lle."
"Tom Daltoii part his hair In the mid
die! I'd as so.ni think of Ahnihiiui
Lincoln dressed us l.illle Lord l-'nmitle
my."
This cotnp irlsoti huiiimnI larit Ny,
and she be an to wonder how Tom
would look.
"I've Invited hlin to breakfast with
us tomorrow, so we will have tin op
portunity to see bow- his hair become
him."
lKwotuy did not face the next morn
ing In a spirit of buoyancy. She came
Into the dlului riiii listlessly and
with a feeling that life was a desolate
waste.
Her father aud mother were already
at the table, aud Tom mm entered,
looklug sheepish and conscious. An
unwilling smile of amusement was
forced back by iMrcihy as she looked
at hi hair aud expression. It was In
cougruous, hut alio was not going to
admit It.
Her words were few, her voice sail,
ber luauuer martyred tliroui:hout the
meal. When later Tom came to take
her for a drive she was patiently ami
dejectedly waiting for liiui. lu the
evening she was again on schedule
time.
Three days of methodical life drug
ged 011. and then Tom felt that he could
no longer endure the new life ami the
surprised glances ut his hen. I.
"Dorjlliy." he said Impetuously, "you
seem unhappy. Will you tell me why?
Is It coming to l.reukfust?"
"Xo, Tom." she replied, with a little
laugh that was more lUu a sob. "I
think It's your hair. 1 cau't U-ur to
i ;oa cis l ut Mv NwrnffK a
Coufeiwiou. 1 have learned that your
most delightful trait was your blissful
disregard of time. To come in from
the city where man. woman aud child
were on a mad rush for trains and
see your -delicious oMivlou to the
twelve figures on a timepiece was most
rtful."
"Theu shall we go back to our old
lifer she cried Joyfully.
"Yesor will you begin a new life
with me, Dorothy?"
"Without breakfast'" she asked en-
treatiugly.
"Wltbout breakfast!" he replied sol
emnly.
Utirrors or Close shaves.
A New York barU-r has on u corner
table a flue pocket iulcruscoH and a
framed announcement Unit says:
"Do you know what a close shave
mean? Bring a friend here, If you
don t, hav him shaved close, ami then
look at hi face through this micro
cope. The entire skin will resemble
a piece of raw beef.
"To shave the face perfectly smooth
require not only the removal of the
hair, but also of a pjrtlou of the cutl
cle; so that a close shave means the
removal of a layer of skin all round
Tb blood vessels thus exposed lire not
visible to the eye, but under the micro-
cope each little quivering mouth, hold
ing a minute blood drop, protests
gainst such treatment, llrlng a friend
and see!
"The nerve tips are also uncovered
by close shaves, and the pores are left
unprotected, which make the skin
tender and unhealthy. This sudden
exposure of the Inner layer of the skin
render a person liable to colds, hoarse
net and sore throat." - New York

The government guarantees the clr
