They will come here under the auspices of the seven day gathering known as a Chautauqua. An attrac tion expected at a large Chautauqua at Sycamore, 111., canceled its en gagement unexpectedly. At the last moment Gullota and his trio were sent to entertain them In place of the splendid company they expected to get Go ing before a tired, waiting audience at 3-o'clock in the afternoon on a hot summer day. Gullota. with his charming group, began a program which simply overwhelmed those people with its beauty and richness. So. Oregon Chautauqua, at Ashland, July 6 to 16 Rules for Grading Shipping Berries This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the rules and regulations set forth by the North west Fruit Shippers' Council for the guidance of the growers who ship through them. This association be ing the largest in the northwest, the small growers would do well to adopt their rules and suggestions as far as possible so that a uniform grade and pack of fruit may be sent out from the northwest. The first of the series dealt with berries. It appeared in the issue of May 17. This issue deals with cherries. Articles on plums and prunes, peaches, apples and pears will follow. We would suggest that the fruit grower clip these and file them for reference: CluTries. Ten-pound Boxes All marketable varieties must bo in perfect condition, of the right degree of ripeness, free from all insect pests and blemishes. Stemless cherries to be kept out. In packing the ten-pound boxes, care must' be taken by the packer to have the cherries as near uniform in sizes as possible all the way through the box. Boxes should be marked according to the number of rows across the end. as in nine-row, ten-row and eleven row. In making the box, top should be nailed on and cleated, bottom left off, box should be placed before packer, with open bottom up. Carefully pack the bottom tier, See that the corners are well filled After the box is nailed up there should be no stems showing. Edges of box where cherries are exposed should present a neat ap pearance. v Nailers should be very careful when lidding up, not to cut or mash any of the fruit. All such cherries should be removed and replaced with good fruit. Twenty-pound or 25-pound Boxes Follow same Instructions when pack ing either 20-pound or 25-pound boxes as those given for 10-pound boxes. ' Lug Boxes We also recommend the use of a lug box with a center par tltion for cherries to be shipped to market, not extending over 200 miles from point of shipment. These cher ries are placed loose in the box, with no facing. The dimensions of box are as follows: Sides "18x5 inches, ends 14x5 Inches, tops and bottoms 18x7 Inches. The box to contain 30 pounds net weight of cherries. - Strawberry Crates It Is recom mended that for all cherries that are packed In strawberry crates, use the pint hallock packed 24 to the crate.

H.S Course Now Opetfto Everyone Every bffy and girl In Oregon Is to have opportunity to take a four year high school course without tui tion cost to them, after a new la that went into effect May 22. State School Superintendent J. A. Church- l ill belives that the law which pro vides for this is the most important law. affecting education, passed by lock carriers are used for packing any legi8lature ln tne Unlted state8 cherries, hallocks should be well filled, shaken down and topped or faced so they will be rounding full. There should be no stems showing. Usse square pack. Euenc. Orders to take addition al steps to rush the completion of the bridge work on the Coos Bay line have followed an Inspection made by -which will be- the top when pack' is i William Hood, chief engineer. This completed. In packing the- first tier, care should be taken by the "packer to place the rounding side of the cherry next to the board. Use only the square pack, never a broken one. Both ends of box should be packed alike. Allow no stems to stick out of the corners which will be the top of the box to the packer. announcement was made by H. P. Hoey, engineer In charge of Willamette-Pacific construction, who re turned from Portland prepared to direct the increased activities. Mr. Hoey positively denied the state ments made by contractors that the bridges on the Coos Bay line cannot be finished until next year.

The law is for the benefit of boys.. and girls who live in districts which do not have four-year high schools. In the past many of them, after fin ishing the lower grades, have wanted more schooling, but their parents have not been able to send them away to school when the cost of tuition must be borne on top of the expense of board and room. That situation will no longer prevail. Provision Is made in the new law for taxing each school district which does not have a four-year high school to raise a fund to pay the tuition of all the students in that district who go to another district to attend high school. This applies to districts which have had two- and three-year high schools, as well as those which have no high schools. It Is to be seen, tefefore, that the best high schools are to be open to the boys and girls who live In the rural districts, as well as to the young people of the city Superintendent Churchill gays that the law is going to have another ef fect. It Is going to stimulate the movement for union high schools In the rural districts. It it does this, , it will be worth much to the state, as he says. In many of the rural and small town districts he has visited he has pointed out to the parents the advan tages of the union high school. He points out that If their boys and girls, when they finish the grades ! go to the city to attend high school the property owners of the district will be taxed to pay tuition 'fees ranging from $60 to $80 a year for each pupil, while if they had their own union high school the cost would not be over $35 to $40 per pupil. The financial side appeals to them but not more than the Idea of being able to keep their boys and girls at home with them, on the farm. Under the union high Bchool :.1aw two or more districts may combine to . bear the expense of providing and main talnlng a high school. The school Is located within accessible distance of every farm. The boys and girls are home every night. They are not weaned away from the farm by the glamour of city life. Their interest In farm life is not distracted. Superintendent Cnurchill Is putting in much time and labor standardiz ing the high schools of the state The standard is placed high. A standard high school must have a four-year course. It must have at least $300 equipment for science departments. It must have at least 250 reference books in the school library. These books must be selected from the list prepared by the state library commis sion. There must be an International dictionary for every twenty pupils. The teaching force must be sufficient. Other requirements must be met. In many of the towns and. cities where there are high schools Super intendent Churchill found the schools without a dollar's worth of equip ment to aid in the school work. This condition is being remedied rapidly. The Improvement gives every boy and girl equal opportunity, whether he or she is attending high school in one of the larger cities or ln a small town or a union high school ln a rural dis trict Train Loses Whistle; Delayed Long Redding Searchlight: Lost One perfectly good, A No. 1, full-toned whistle. Also a full head of steam. Likewise nearly two hours of valuable time. When last seen said whistle was roaming around somewhere be tween Redding and Anderson. Steam was going straight up. Apply to train No. 13, Southern Pacific. Old No. 13 had a peculiar accident on the run from Redding to Anderson Wednesday night which delayed it so that It pulled into Willows nearly two hours late.- The lead engine lost its whistle. Don't laugh, it did. Pas sengers were alarmed when about four miles from- Redding the train was brought to an abrupt stop amid the roaring of escaping steam and, sad to relate, the curses of engineers and trainmen. Investigation disclosed the fact that the head engine had blown its whistle er er that is, it could not blow Its whistle, but the whistle was blown just the same. In fact, it had blown clear off and carried the safety valve Over Two Thousand H. S. Graduates The class which will graduate from Ashland high school next week is the fifteenth graduating class in the state in size, according to figures compiled by State Superintendent "Churchill. The Ashland class is composed of 23 girls and 15 boys, a total of 38 Med ford will graduate a class of 49, Grants Pass 36 and Klamath Falls 21. Portland with its three high schools leads the state with a total of 365 graduats. Eugene is second with 107 and Salem third with 102. Other schools which are ahead of Ashland are: Albany 43, Roseburg 45, Hood River 41, Corvallis 44, Mc Minnville 44, La Grande 46, Baker 48, Oregon City 46, Newberg 44, Pen dleton 45. The larger number of graduates at most of the northern schools is due to the fact that there are a number of small towns with one and two year high schools only In the surrounding districts and the country boys and girls finish up in the big fun atY nnla urhlla In f ha RnfMia with it.
