Northwest Fruit Exchange Adds 13
Carloads to Previous Orders
From Johannesburg.
Portland, Ore., Aug. 11. Is 13 an
unlucky number? Officials of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange of this
city do not believe that it is. In
fact, they have documentary proof
to show that after all the so-called
"bad luck" number is in reality a
sign of the greatest prosperity.
Today the exchange secured an or
der for 13 carloads of apples to go
forward to South Africa, being the
second direct order ever received
from the former land of the Boers.
Together with the first order it
makes a total of 15 carloads of ap
ples brought from the Northwestern
Exchange by Johannesburg, South
' Africa, parties within the last few
days. The total order means 10,000
boxes of the fruit. The order is for
Jonathans and will effectively intro
duce Pacific northwest fruit into the
Bo-called "Dark Continent."
The price paid for the last lot of
apples will be more than double
in fact, will be within a fraction of
three times as great as the average
'price secured for similar fruit by
many shippers last season. South
African consumers have heard of the
great merits of Pacific northwest ap
ples and they intend to get a very
good taste of them this season with
the promise that the orders will be
greatly increased next season.
This last order completes a chain
of orders for Pacific northwest ap
ples that extends from one end of
the earth to the other. Europe,
Asia, Africa, North America and
South America have now been invad
ed by the peerless fruit from the Pa
cific coast.
The exchange today also secured
an order for seven carloads of Pa
cific northwest apples from South
America.. Three cars of these will
he Jonathans and will be supplied
by the Rogue river district, and the
remainder will consist of Rome Beau
ties to be forwarded by Wenatchee
and Yakima, Wash.

WHAT HUSTLING DOES
Hustling, Honest Dealing and Adver
tising Builds Vp Big Business
in Small City.
The advertiser in a city the size
of Ashland often remarks, "It may
pay to advertise in a city, but it
won't in a place this size." A strikr
ing refutation recently came under
the notice of the writer. Back in
1883, the same month that he began
washing forms and running errands
in a print shop in Osage, Iowa, there
came to the store underneath the
printing office, which was upstairs,
one of the greenest looking Norwe
gian boys who ever came down the
pike. The lad went to work as er
rand boy and under clerk with a
common district school education
and a determination to make good.
After a few years he bought an in
terest in the store. Later he bought
out his partner and tbok in his
younger brothers, who came from
the farm, nearly if not quite a3 crude
as himself.
This week a copy of one of the
Osage papers (the last census gives
the town 2,300 population) came to
hand. A double page advertisement
of the Gopelrud Bros.' annual sum
mer clearance sale, with about 500
lines of local, devoted to the same
sale, vividly recalled to the writer
his first impressions of Harry Gopel
rud, on whom as a town boy he was
somewhat inclined to look down.
It was but one of the many in
stances where he has known of the
building . up of business houses ap
parently far in excess of the demands
of the community, simply by hust
ling, honest dealing and judicious ad
vertising. It. also emphasizes the
fact (which is an axiom among the
newspaper fraternity) that the bet
ter a merchant understands the ad
vertising game the stronger he favors
advertising. It is very seldom that a
man who understands advertising,
both in the way of ad writing and
in the psychology of how and when
to advertise, ever says that advertis
ing does not pay.

couple is moving into the same' tene
ment house that they live In. Vin-
cenza greatly admires the mustache
of her new neighbor and speaks of
this to her husband, who laughs at
her scornfully but becomes very Jeal
ous of the man, Biaggio. Later in
the day, when Vincenza 13 coming
home with the groceries, she meets
Biaggio on the steps of the house,
and Bpeaks to him for a few mo
ments. Angelica,' the wife of Biag
gio, is looking out of the window
and sees her husband talking with
this strange woman, and she in turn
also becomes jealous. The talk ts
rudely Interrupted by Lulgi, who re
turns home and angrily orders his
wife into the house. There is quite
a lively time in both apartments as
a result of the little meeting on the
doorstep.

FOR PERSONAL PURITY
Chicago Schools to Introduce Lec
tures in Public Schools in
This Matter.
Chicago, Aug. 8. With the com
ing of the fall term of the Chicago
public schools but a few weeks dis
tant, Superintendent Ella Flagg
Young admitted today that she has
made no definite selections of the
men and women who are to conduct
classes in the new "personal purity"
course to be launched in the Chicago
high schools. She will call a con
ference of high Bchobl principals
within a week to hear suggestions.
"We feel that we have taken a
radical, almost a revolutionary, step
in adopting the personal purity
course in Chicago," said Mrs.
Young. "We realize that other cit
ies will closely watch the working
out of the venture and will take it
up if Chicago is successful. We
who have advocated this course feel
certain of success, which will mean
that in another generation false and
prudish standards will be swept
away with the proper training of
children. We will be careful in map
ping out our course and in choosing
our instructors, for we want to be
certain of our ground before we go
ahead."
Applications for positions as in
structors have come to the office of
Mrs. Young from scores of physi
cians, men and women. While the
teachers will be recruited largely
from members of the medical pro
fession, Mrs. Young declared oday
that careful personal investigation is
being made to determine the phy
sicians who are most competent to
discuss sex - questions before high
school pupils.
"Many physicians and scientific
men," she said, "have their sense of
delicacy blunted by the very nature
of their work. Their psychology i3
too far removed from that of the
child. Their minds move in a differ
ent sphere and their fitness will be
determined npt alone on their stand
ing as physicians, but also on their
understanding and tact in handling
delicate subjects so that we can
avoid at the start any shock to the
young boys and girl3. We must have
instructors who can meet the pupils'
minds properly.
"Of course there will be segrega
tion. Boys will be taught by male
instructors and girls will have women
instructors. The classes will be di
vided into small groups small
enough for the instructors to obtain
the personal, confidential effect.
"There will be no text books no
printed matter that might be subject
to wrongful interpretation, or any
Interpretation at all by the pupils
who are at a Itormative age. In
struction will be solely by lectures.
But we all expect pupils to ask
questions in class groups. If the
course is successful in tho high
schools we may institute a course
fit for the grade schools. At first
we shall present only a limited view
of the course. Within a few weeks
we hope that the boys and girls will
come to accept instruction in sex
questions with no different attitude
than that which they might hold to
instruction in algebra. We believe
firmly this will come. When they
arrive at that state of mind the
course will be broadened and made
thorough."

Should Women Register?
Some of our good men last year,
In Oregon, declared the chief objec
tion they had to women becoming
voters was because they would not
exercise their rights and appear at
the polls If they became enfran
chised; or else after casting their
ballots one or more times they would
regard this privilege as a mere toy
and would lay It aside for something
newer that caught their fancy. Thus
our state would be burdened with a'
lot of useless citizens.
It Is for the women of Oregon to
prove these allegations false. First,
for very dignity's sake, we women
cannot afford to lower ourselves in
the eyes of mankind to any degree.
It is not exactly an unpardonable sin
to be a bunch of frivolity, nor a
drudge to whom a single unscoured
pan or unpolished doorknob means
a twinge of manufactured conscience
that affects only the owner thereof.
But it is more of an unpardonable
sin, when to us is given the privilege
to help decide by our ballots how the
housekeeping of our state should be
done and we do not apply ourselves
to a righteous task. Second, all
shirking from duty rebounds come
time, somewhere, on ourselves. There

They have declared for those ofrr

Furthermore, alert men are plan

hope shortly, or at least before 1914
ends, to submit to the people, such
as apply largely to labor or safety.
It is said in Ashland, in the year
1911, one-third of the men did not
exercise the privilege of voting. It
Is said that in Collfornia last year
about the same proportion of men;
did not vote. Today In that stato
voters are agitating the question of
making it obligatory for citizens tot
vote or lose their privileges of ballot,
and this measure is heartily endorsed
by. Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
It is highly necessary, on account
of labor conditions as well as many
others, that all right minded1 citfzeira '

so, it will include about five minutes
