One of the Umatilla county cases for which dollars from the Christmas seal sale fund hare been used is that or two tittle sisters who were brought to Pendleton from out of town to have-their tonsils remov ed and their eyes treated. The girls . were found by Miss Marjorie Mulheron, county health nurse,: to be suffering from bad tonsils and . from; defective eyes. The family was unable, to afford medical aid but through the help of the, Oregon Tuberculosis-, asso ciation, the children were 'started on the road to good health, ' This .is Just one of many cases for which the money from the seals, now on sale in this county, is used. Miaa-Mulheron . who goes all over the county in the inter ests of her work, is paid from the eeal sale. , ' . County TJ'nlU in. Futare. ; ROSEBURG, Dec 1S.V-A fairly well attended meeting of .fresh fruit growers of the county was held at the city hall this afternoon to consider the formation of a county fruit . growers association. The new unit is a part of the reor ganization plan, of the. Oregon Growers Cooperative association. and if formed will probably . be similar to the other county organ izations. now being; formed', all over the state. I , The Oregon . Growers Coopera tive association has been planning on reorganization for several months, and its plans have been fully announced at various times. After the present contracts expire the work of the old organization will be taken over by county units, which, may work through existing concerns, or through a central sales agency. j i ,The prune men of the state are now forming, a selling agency to take charge of the . marketing of dried fruits, and the" Oregon Grow ers plan to reorganize along simi lar lines. If it, is done, each asso ciation will operate its own ware house and properties, and will work independently, it cooperating at the same time through a cen tral selling agency, which, how ever, shall be formed only for the purpose of working up the market and increasing demands. This will give two organizations, one handling dried fruits and the other fresh fruits, I both operating on the same plan. This system has been considered to be the best af ter several years of investigation and experimentation. Th various county units are tak ing over the properties of the Ore gon Growers Cooperative associa tion; and are handling the produce of the, members on a cooperative basis. : - i present is 12 tons but with the in stallation of the new machinery it will be increased to 20 tons a day. Besides manufacturing ice for local consumption the plant sup plies refrigeration for the big canning plant.

Guilty ROSEBURGI Dec. 43.- Jack Connelly, former Reedsport deputy sheriff, accused of accepting a bribe tq furnish protection to a li quor ring at-Reedsport, was found guilty today by a Jury which was out ' of - the courtroom only seven minutes before a decision was reached. This was the second trial of the' case, the jury in the first trial falling ; to reach an agreement. j The state presented a much stronger case la the second trial, meeting Connelly's attempted alibi with a number of witnesses who testified that they saw him in Reedsport on the day he was al leged to have accepted the bribe of $200 from B. O. Roberts and when he claimed he was in West lake. : j ' ' : Connelly was remanded to the custody of the sheriff and placed tn jail with his partner, Fred Schulte, who was also convicted on the same charge.

' Ice Plant to Enlarge EUGENE, Dec. 13. The capac ity of the ice plant of the Eugene Fruit Growers association, operat ing the only, factory here, will be nearly doubled this season with the Installation of two carloads of new machinery which arrived yes terday. The machinery will be in stalled at once, said J. O, Holt, manager of the association, and by the time the : hot weatherarrives next summer it is planned to have enough ice on hand as a reserve supply so that! there will be no shortage 'such j as occurred last summer and at ' different- times prior to that. I Mr. Holt said that the enlarged plant will be able to manufacture enough ice for Eugene for a. num ber of years to come notwithstand ing the city's rapid growth. The capacity of the plant at "Bob" Kulcs All LA GRANDE. Dec. 13 A re cent census taken in , Pendleton by owners of beauty shops showed that over half of the women under 30 years of age and about nine out of ten of the high school girls of that city, were bobbed hair ad dicts. A report from the Round Up city says that the fashion is increasing in faror and each day some woman's crown of giory falls at the snip of the scissors. ! A like condition exists in La Grande, according to authorities here. The barber shops nearly ev ery day "find some new "victim" for their shears and the beauty shops are busy each day marcell ing, jcurling and otherwise beauti fying the bobbed heads of La Grande. As in Pendleton, the fashion is especially . strong here in the high school circles. On one week-end, not very long ago, five girls are reported to , have shorn their locks. ? ' ; j ; Styles in dressing the coiffures, if you may call them' by that ap pellation, differ. Some prefer the Dutch bob, some the bob mar celled all over the Jiead, some the marcel wave with short curls in the back and so oh. But it Is becoming more and more evident every day of the year, that the bobbed hair has come to stay and is not a passing fad. Introduced Play in China CORVALLIS, Dec. 13. J. C. Clark, formerly of Corvallis and son-in-law of Mrs. Emma Fuller of 216 North Thirteenth street, is now connected with the YMCA in Shanghai, China, and is head of the largest boys' department in the world.

At that time the membership was less than 400, but now it has increased to 1800. ' . . The first playgrounds in China were started by Mr. Clark. Before his arrival few native boys played. It was considered undignified. Today the spirit of play and good sportsmanship is sweeping the en tire country. Revenue Officer Resigns j EUGENE, Dec. 13. H. H.

Nut grow ers of the state are trying to learn which filbert varieties are best adapted to this climate and. soil, and at the recent. srate meeting of growers at Salem, attended by quite a number of "Lane county residents, this subject was one of the foremost under discussion, said J. O. Holt, manager of the Eugene Fruit Growers' associa tion, yesterday. Samples of nearly all the vari eties of filberts grown in the state were shown at the Salem meeting. Some varieties have a better flavor than others and some grow to larger sizes, but the Idea Is to. agree upon the variety that will yield the heaviest. A sample of Barcelona filberts, grown on the island of Sicily, and some of the same variety grown in this country, were exhibited side by side at the meeting. The Oregon nuts were nearly twice as large as the Imported article, and seemed to have a better f lavort Barcelonas are one of this valley's standard varieties, said Mr. Holt. from a Michigan breeder.
