IN professional circles the Gullota Trio stand high as Individual artl3ts
and as a perfectly balanced organization. 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.

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.

this 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

whistle. Also a full head of steam.
Likewise nearly two hours of valuable

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
