The reports Just received show that

say the outlook Is for a fair crop In the

Th crop In Benton countv, Arkansas,
which undsr normal conditions ships
more apples than any county in the
United States, will be but 10 to 15 per
cent of a full crop, and It Is estimated j
that not over 25 cars will be shipped i
this year from this great apple-growing; j
district. In other parts of the slate the I
crop is reported as practically a failure.
Reports from all parts of Missouri
show a light crop or almost a total .
failure. The Ozark fruit belt in tills
state, which last year alono shipped 40,
000 barrels of apples, does not expect
to ship out over 2,500 this year. Kan
sas reports are for 25 to 50 per cent of
a crop. Colorado reports a 20 per cent
crop in the Grand Junction district, with
but 10 per cent in others. . ;

a bigger shipment than last year by i

Oregon, Hood River will lend all other '
districts with a 400 tn BuD-rar rron: ,

other southern Oregon points are ex
tweted to furnish 300 to 400 more, while
the Willamette valley, eastern Oregon
and the smaller apple growing dis
tricts in the state are thought to be
food for 300 cars. In all it is expected
h.'it from 1,200 to 1.600 cars of fine
quality apples will be shipped from the
atate this year.
Record Shipments.
Tills will constitute the biggest ship
ment ever made from Oregon, but no
apprehension Is felt in regard to prices
on that account. In fact it is expected
that the light crop generally over the
United States except in Oregon, Wash-
lngton, Idaho, T'tah end California, will
make better prices for apples in these i
states than was ut first expected. In
addition indications are for a strong:
demand for apples for export purposes.

"Mother, may I po out to nwlmr
"Yes, my darling daughter.
Hang your clothes on a hickory limb.
But don't go near the vfater."
There are mothers and mothers, just
the same aa there are girls and girls.
There are mothers who won't permit
their daughters to step into anything
less placid than the family bathtub.
and there are mothtrs who insist that
thtdr daughters learn how to bravo the
waves and depths of the Willamette.
As a result of this latter Insistence
there are hundreds of girls and women
swarming the various bathing places
In the city.
Soma of the girl bathers are adept
swimmers, some are fairly good, but
the great majority are unable to eto
more than lounge in a two-and-half-
l'oot pool. These are the ones who need
the counsel of an experienced swimmer,
and for these The Journal has inter
viewed Miss Millie A. Schloth, the
premier woman swimmer of Portland.
Miss Schloth Is a physical ctilturlst of
wide acquaintance and a swimmer of
great versatility. There is little con
nected with the art with which she is
not familiar, and 11 Is safe to say there
are few Indeed of the sterner sex who
can cleave the water faster or perform
tricks that are fancier.
Here is what Miss Schloth has to
say concerning the teaching of young
girls and women how to swim:
"There are several reasons why It
is harder for women to learn how to
swim than It Is for men. . First among
these reasons I ahould place self-con-Bclousness.
It Is next to impossible
to convince a girl that she is not the
only creature In the world. She is con
stantly thinking of her clothes, won
dering how her pretty bathing suit will
look when It comes out of the water.
She hates to get her hair wet. She Is
a perfect fright when It Is wet.
Fluffy Won't Perserera.
'The average Fluffy Ruffles hasn't
perseverance enough to make a good
swimmer. She takes a few lessons, tho
novelty wears off and Fluffy decides
that she can look Just as attractive
tn the surf and on the sands without
knowing anything about th4 breast or
side stroke or diving.
"Then again we find many, young
girls who kep thrlr nerves screwed
up to a tension that mkea relaxation
Impossible. They are afraid to let go
of themselves and cannot become good
swimmers with all the muscles tense
In their resistance.
"It la n curious f.-iz-t, that awkward,
pelf-conclous girls am poor swimmers.
Rut the graceful girl, the girl who Is
musical Is sure to be confident and
strong in the water. There seems to
be rhythm In the action of the body
in the water to which tho girl with a
musical bouI makes Immediate response.
"Do I consider It advisable for girls
to know how to swim? Most assuredlv.
Every girl should know how to take
care or nerstur tn tne water; rtrst n.i
a mattr of self-protection and self
preservation. The girl vrho knows how
to do things is the girl with that rare
quality presence of mind. If she
knows how to swim, If she knows how
to run and climb, and can walk long
dietanoes without being exhausted, she
not only 1s sure to have a healthy body
but a healthy mind.
Every Girl Should Know.
"Every girl should be taught com
mand of her bodyond swimming Is the
best exercise for Tfils purpose. She
loses fear when she Intrusts herself to
the water. The sense of power that
comes to the successful swimmer is
worth all tho effort It takes to learn.
The exercise tones up the skin and a
healthier, clearer complexion Is the re
sult. And last, but not least. It Is such
fun.
"About dlvlngT" Not every woman
oan learn to dive. Here nsnln oomes in
the question of fear. With some It
affects the ears, and in others the head.
Beginners want to come to tho surface
too quickly. A good diver - gives her
body time to adjust itself. A poor
diver arches the back 1n the effort to
reach the surface before the full mo
mentum of the diver is exhausted. Im
mediately there Is heavy pressure of
the water and the back is strained.
"Which stroke do I find the easier
to teach? Tho breast or school Btrokf,
although the side stroke Is preferred
by tho majority of swimmers. I think
the reason for that Is the more com
fortable position of tho head. One Is
not so opt to swallow the river. It
looks easier and la more graceful.
"When should one learn to swim?
When one is young If there Is the op
portunity, but one should not allow
age to prevent her learning. I have
been swimming about seven years and
I was several days past my lflth birth
day when I began, liut all girls should
know how to swim.
First Diva Remembered.
"I shall never forget my first dive.
I was quite sure I was never coming
up to see daylight again. Rut there)
is no sensation equal to that which a
good diver experiences. She goes 1"
tho end of tho springboard and poses
for the plunge. Hhe knows she has
control of the river rushing along nt
her feet as long aa she can control h
self. The sense of power in hr fall
command of her own body Is well worth
all the time and trouble of learning.
"I might have learned several years
sooner than I did had I known a sim
ple means of preventing water from
rushing Into- the head through the ear".
Some people are not bothered, but mot
of us are. I never go in unless I ha o
my' ears stuffed with cotton saturated
with vaseline. The vaseline serves to
make the cotton impervious to water
and thereby saves the swimmer from
much annoyance. There is absolutely
no danger from the oil seeping into tho
earduct."

"vTTint are the serious objections to
Mr. Taft from the union labor voters?"
Mr. Lea bo was asked.

"Foremost." he answered. "Mr. Taft,
It Is alleged, was the first federal Judge

of labor to strike upon the ex rar'.'j

he now contend thit a temporsry writ

the situation.
In the same line Mr. Harris discusses
the situation about as follows: He says

the labor vote to Mr. Bryan, because he
had no right to do so. He had a per
fect right, however, to advise, urge and
exhort fer Bryan nil he chose and 'wlll
have great weight with the labor vote
because of hie position and his well es
tablished honor and Integrity.
Mr. Harris said he did not recall
many Instances of labor unions having
Indorsed Mr. Bryan but he has no doubt
that many will de so on the strength
of tho Democratic) Injunction plank. Mr.
Harris says that many laboring men
will vote for Debs aa they have done
before that many would favor
Hlsgon because of the friendliness of
Hearst to labor and the party's strong
platform, and that some would undoubt
edly vote for Taft, as for ex.iir.ple. the
steam shovelers' union, which he re
