PENDLETON, Dec. 13. 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.

Reedsport Man. 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. Roberts, who
entered a plea, of guilty to the
charge of giving a bribe, is also
held In jail. j
The trio will j be sentenced Fri
day morning at : 10 o'clock, Judge
Hamilton, announced. '
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.

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. Clark was graduated
from O AC In 1904, receiving his
degree in agriculture. In 1911
he went to Shanghai to become
head of the boys' work. 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.

learning About Filberts
EUGENE, Dec. 13. 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.

lish the fourth fur farm in the
