C 1 I "The Oregon Apple in the J East" is the heading the foUow 1 ing editorial in the Oregonlan ot f last Sunday In Us way it was a tribute to the Oregon apple -for the press ! agent of the .Eastern Apple expo '.' sition to hare thought it expedient ff to say that "not all good apples : come from Oregon by any means." I Not all goqd apples come from Oregon, he might hare added, hut .r all that .come from Oregon are good. This is the result of a good many factors, most of which are " under the control of the growers, : . and the latter consequently have 'J set a mask for others to shoot at r and undoubtedly .hare raised the , standard of an industry that a few f jr. years ago was threatened with de- v cay. '. ; "It is no secret," said a candid ex-president of the New York V Horticultural society, "that east- . erners are careless in apple grow- ing and packing." It will do no harm to concede that the west's most noteworthy contribution to f the orchard industry has been the spirit of scientific research which the business1 formerly lacked. It " is 'not seriously contended that i any section possesses exclusively the conditions which make for ex- ' cellent flavor, though , these 'do fe exist abundantly in Oregon, wash- ington and Idaho. ' But it fell' to P- the lot of enterprising Oregoni&ns to lead .the movement for stand ardisation of quality, to ; attain which . many preliminary: steps 9 were necessary. Eastern buyers still prefer northwest apples, eren jt-while local patriotism bids them : extol the virtues ot their own iproduct. . This is because when a , consumer buys a box of northwest i fruit he knows precisely what he .''is getting. The policy of building for the future, or tnaintalng a jstandard at whatever cost, is amp . ly Justified by events.' It Is something to hare led the lest ot the country in orchard and marketing practice and to , hare ; reached the point where the name ,; tregon l a synonym for excel lence, put there is a lesson in the circumstance that the emulatire ? spirit of our neighbors has. been 4' aroused. There is elsewhere a , tendency in periods of temporory ' depression' to relax the standards 1 ,472,630. FASTENER FOR AU TOMOBILE HOODS AND THE LIKE. David Boiique, Amsbury, Mass., assignor to G. W.

HL'IUB MIS FIVBIES Editor Statesman: My experience , In the apple game has been principally with development or building an orch ard which is now 13 years old, the time when several of our leading varieties are coming: into bear ing. . . While financial returns for sev eral years have not been particul arly rosy, due to certain condi tions that cannot conceivably con tinue indefinitely, I can, never theless, see better .prospects ahead. 1 Fine Apples, Ixw post ,The Willamette valley will pro duce as fine apples as , can be grown in the northwest, and at a comparatively low cost per? acre. 3Ve have one of the very best local markets for our fruit, and it is improving every year. ! . .

The Spitzenberg and Newtown, while somewhat tardy coming in to bearing, are proving valuable. The Delicious s the one I am using in replacing exclusively. :The Wagner does exceptionally well with us, and by the consum ers who know it. is a favorite Consumers for Every Good Apple For the future of the industry, I am convinced there is a consum ed for every good apple we can produce. It is largely a matter of distribution, getting the fruit to the right place at the right time, and at a reasonable cost. : - The. demand does not necessar ily need" to be created, it exists, and our problem is to supply that demand.

" HOW DICKY "TOOK" MADGE'S DIPLOMATIC JOKE An absurd little pain clutched me for a brief second at Marion's announcement that she meant to teach Junior to read) and Lillian's laughing reference, to my climb ing on my shelf. " It ras not possible, I told my self shamefacedly, that I could be jealous of the little girl's work with my baby boy. f And yet was clear-visioned enough to see that, mother-like, I was conscious ly or subconsciously - resentful of any influence over Junior which would infringe on mine' in any way. But I was just enough to smother jt from Marion's eyes, al though I knew, that to Lillian's amused and experienced vision my feeling was transparent. I'll sit back any day , for Mar ion," I said, drawing, the little girl tp .me; "Vnd I .think what you have accomplished with Junior is wonderful." Just go ahead, dear, and teach him anything you like." "Don't you think. Marlon." sug gested her mother quietly, "it would be great fun if you and Auntie. Madge and Junior played normal school and practice class? Auntie Madge could fix up a les son and ahow you how to teach It. Then you could . teach Junior, while Auntie Madge looked on. You'd be sure of doing it the way tho real teachers do, and that would be the best kind of prac tice for you." t "Oh-h! Mother!' You do, think of the most scrumptious things!" Marion undid herself from my em brace and rushed into her mothers arms rapturously. - "There never was such a mother as you!" She hugged: and kissed her mo ther ecstatically, while I, sharing her enthusiasm, felt in addition a glowing, heart-warming grati tude to the friend who .had solved so skillfully and delicately a prob lem that might have become a bit troublesome. Her plan arranged everything beautifully.' and it was with , eyes shining with, gratitude that I looked at her across Mar ion's head. . "I Must Fly.:. ..... , "You are right.

' It's nearly time for your expedition, isn't it?" "I think he's taking it up to the garage for gas and oil," I' said. "But I must fly, nevertheless, for I'm not dressed.", "You mean undressed, - don't you?" Lillian pointed her refer ence to Bess Dean's costume with a malicions grin. ' ("Perhaps," I returned with an answering grin! Then I hurried to my - own bungalow and found that I had the place to myself. It took but a few minutes to carry out my mischievious plan of dress. Except for shoes and out er coat and skirt I , dressed as I had planned at first, with woolen hose, knickers and sport blouse. But my sneakers and the skirt to my knickerbocker Biiit I put into a 1 small unobstrusive bundle, and laid It on a. chair with -, the coat to my -own suit. , - In the Balance. - -men 1 snoa my reet with a pair of high-heeled oxfords, suita ble only for city streets, put on Mrs. Cpsgrove's skirt, and byldint of pinning fitted it oyerjireat folds of the cloth and then but ton ed the prim coat snugly, about me. I topped the whole with a rather modish little motor hat, and giggled appreciatively at . the lu dicrous reflection I saw in the .mir ror. Then, lighting a lamp after drawing the window shades, I sat down .bytbe table with a maga zine, looked upiwth my lusual air of casual. Interest .when Dicky up on his return from the garage, opened the door. - "What the devil?': he began. : I rose from my chair before he got the exclamation out and .fold ed ;iny hands meekly; . , "I trust this fishing costume meets-with your lordship's appro val." I said, with an s air which GriseJda .herself might have env- 'r ' r' "i For a second -a second which I had dreaded- I do not think Dicky knew whether he was going to - laugh or be fangry, ' Then he grinned .reluctantly, and circled me, examining the costume from every . angle. "Score for you," . he acknow ledged at, length. "Wear rfour pair of knee pants sans skirts if you want to." ' ?'Oh. they'd be so bungling, Dicky,". I murmured demurely, and - was seized and soundly sha ken, and then as soundly kissed for my retort. ' V- : . , J "But. where -did you get this outfit?" he demanded, a minute later, wlth an interest that I saw was professional. "It's just the thing I want for, some stuff I've got to get out. And', yes you're just the type I need for that draw ing! ' No one else could look half so sweet In those old things. Want to be an artist's model?" - - "You know;i'd - love it, I' re plied, ail my rancor, gone..1 "And Dicky,", as I slipped out of the bid fashioned costume, "I lmeant to wear the skirt all the 'time.: "And I knew that you did," Dicky confessed. . "I ' guess we each had to get .that' much jcuss edness out of our systems, and se lected the-other tor a target. But it's lot nicer . this way, don't you think so?" And he punctured his question with a kiss. ? '.
