Rockefeller Jr.. today gained possession off the Six famous 15th century tapestries "Hunting for the Unicorn,' which he bought from Count Gabriel de La Itouchefoucauld at a price somewhere between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000.' The tapestries had been held up by customs authorities while the Internal revenue department Investigated to determine whether a tax could be collected from the American seller. They were released when the revenue 1 men ; determined that the sale I was consummated In London. Mr. Rockefeller 1 had le v exempted fronv a customs tax, there being no provision far duty on such art treasures. Shocked -and saddened.; by the excesses rhat have followed the great war, the world is inclined tc return to the old principles ,and the old men.

Teachers' Garb Question Presents Hard Question During the period intervening between the date when the anti sectarian garb bill goes into ef fect about May 24 and the date of closing the public schools of the state, it will be up to the d is- trict directors to decide what to do about teachers who wear ' the j earb of Catholic nuns. This is the decision of Attorney General Van Winkle in reply to a question j put to him by Governor Pierce. A, number of nuns are now em ployed as . teachers in public school. Some weeks will Inter vene between the date when the law goes into effect and the clos ing of the schools: The question is whether the nuns give up their garb for the period, give up the schools and let other teachers fill out? the terms, or be allowed 4to continue wearing the garb the re mainder of the year. Since most of the districts where nuns are employed are Catholic communities it is prob able that the garb will be allowed the remainder of. the school year. Should enforcement of the law be insisted on to the letter and the directors refuse to act It would then be up to the governor to en force the law.

On Saturday night, the Wood burn Fruit Growers Cooperative association sold Its entire berry pool for 1023. Bids had been called for and six canneries sent in their bids and their personal representatives to look, after the matter. The contract Included an estimated 550' tons of loganber ries, 150 tons strawberries. .120 tons raspberries, 40 tons goose berries, 150 tons 'blackberries. The Willamette Canning : com pany, an Independent local insti tution at Woodburn, gets most of the strawberries, the tonnage of which is not very large. The rest of the crop goes to the Ray-Mall-Ing company . of Hillsboro. "The prices have been kept rigidly the contracting parties, even t unsuccessful bidders refusing prices have been kept rigidly to the to intimate even- the approximation of what was received. It Is announced, however, from members of the pool that the prices are entirely satisfactory, for some of the fruits even better than had .been anticipate. The fruits helped to carry each otner along to a good price, by offering a sure supply of all the varieties needed to keep & factory running all through the berry season. Just what a ' satisfactory price . may mean is a matter for personal judgment, but, the growers from Woodburn indicate 'that they are well pleased with the offers. They go far enough to say. that all the offers ' were very good, good enough to make fruit grow ing look like a worth-while busl ness. The. Woodburn . growers. having had their own association, had not affiliated with the new loganberry association. They be lieve, hOwever, that they have done a good thing by the rest of the loganberry growers, in that by tying - all their product together, they have established a good price for the logans, a better price than the market would have offered at this time. : Do Some Investigating JVILJ.ofWallaWalWnd been a sufferer irom Piles 25 years, Read HIS letter and the many others in the FREE illus trated book which tells the true facts about such cases as yours and about my non-surgical, pain less, harmless treatment.
