I'd be iih happy as f can,
while in this human caravan,
for Jiappy lieople; mako, a -lilt
with everyone, we must admit.
We can be happy if we strive to
keep all pleasant thoUKhtn alive
and let dark ones wilt and
droop and find their finish in
the soup. We can't be happy if
our Rod is represented by a
wad; then every dine wo lose a
cent we'll wring our whisker,
and lament, nnd'wear our ck
cloth suits and weep,' nnd' lose
some hours of precious sleep.
We can't be happy If we brood
in public or in solitude unon
our divers pains and aches, be
they the honest goods or fakes.
To Hit beside our cottage doors
and think about our boilu and
sores, of Unirnnts In juga and
jars. Is suro to blind us to the
stars and all the lovely things
of earth, the things of beauty
and of worth. The gorgeous
flowers we fail to see when we
are poulticing a knee; the joy
ous birds we do not hear when
rubbing Halve upon an ear; wo
miss the wonders all about
while we tire talking of the
gout. Wo can't be happy if we
keep aeeount of ail our troubles
deep; if of our grievances we
spiel, no tranquil hnppinesH.we
feel. There arc nine blessings,
I maintain, for every grief that
causes pain; these blessings fine
we overlook, nnd write qui sor-.
rows in a book and keep fhem
where we can't forget thoir his
tory of blood nnd swent. We
can't be happy ir we hate, vin
dictively, some othor skate; we

If we'd be happy days nnd

In a Single. Day
Development of the fruit Indus
try in the Mod ford district Is o
near -romance. ' ' Ne vor-end ing batt
ties against peats, pear blight and
other drawbacks have been fought,
and In spite of the disadvantages,
progress has been marvelous.
In a single day this packing sea
son 122 carloads of. pears were
started eastward. On another It
fears left on their long journey to
market. The highest number of
cam in any previous year was 1H,
in -1927. Before that tho biggest
day' shipinon t was G S cars. In
9?8. ltThe 3 22 carloads shipped
tn a single tiay this season con
toured ,G3,-H0 boxes, or 8,700,000'
tnear.,
I; jThe freight charge to eastern
markets, averages about 4z5 per
tiart On the 12 2 -car shipment the
freight was f5I,R40. . '
;The total carloads shipped from
Modford up to last Saturday was
2201'. gain of 1343 cars over the
same period iu -1927, the largest
shipment up to that time. The
estimated shipment for this season
is 3800 cars; The estimate for next
year s 4500 to 5000. The value of
this year's prop Is $4,750,000.
The increase is due to irrigation,
scientific care of orchards, control :
of pear blight, and smudging to j
control frosts. . Pear blight Is one j
of the problems that seems to have
been " successfully- worked out. j
Presence In tho district of the
Southern Oregon experiment sta
tion, where experiments have been
carried on by P. C. Reimer, a fam
ous expert jn orcharding, tn coiir
nectioii with similar investigations
at the State College experiment
station at Corvallis, have been an
important factor - in combating
pear blight. In -one Med ford
oio ha rd 15 men' were formerly
employed in fighting he blight,
where now only one doeg-the work.
The, pear acreage in Jackson j
county Is 10,60.0, of which "pnly
nbou 2500 acros. (s not yet tn full
arlhg New' br;ohn,VrtB'have"hen
sete out toVieet the heavy demand
for Rogue RiW pears. Prices .this
year are Q- to ?2 a box, against
J2.40 to $2.50' lasi your. - ' -
The packing season lasts from.
August 1 to October 10, during
which time there are 3000 to 3500,
people harvesting ftnd , packing
pears. -. ' . .;
In the packing plants alone in
.Med ford tho payroll averages $50,
000 per week for about 10 veks,
or xsoo.OOo paid packors. This
does not include thoso harvesting,
hauling pears V the packing
plants, icing cars and the like.
The boxes are nil made by n
local box factory from local raw
material, .adding thousands of dol
lars more to the payroll as a result
oCUhe pear crop. .
Tho refrigerated cars for this
fruit are all iced by a local concern
which is one ,of the largo plants of
the state nud has the large ice
storngo capacity iu Oregon.
These figures' do not in&udc ,
about 500 cars of apples, poaches,
apricots, grapes and othor fruits to
be shipped from the Med ford dis
trict. .
"Many men with a competence,
lured by tho beautiful scenio sur
rounding and seeking nn occupa
tion that would be attractive, have
retired from Arofessionai and com
mercial life and settled in the
Med ford district to engage In
orcharding. They have applied Ho
fruit growing the economic max
ims that made them successful In
other fields and have used sci
ence and research in their orch
ards, and that Is the great reason
for the fact that the Hogue River
district i one of tho most success
ful -fruit-producing centers tn tho
world.T (13, P. Irvine in, Oregon

train was modestly equipped and
of a moderate cost. When It reach

"Hunibly-borrf, Al Smith's cam

its writing rooms, is in -dazzling
contrast to the meager equipment
with which James Al. Cox of Day

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 20;
The tickets for the "big game" be
tween Stanford and California are
already sold out. That shows some
thing oCtho'footbail interest in this
state. Reservations at thej leading
San Francisco hotels for tho night
of the big game arc, going like hot
cakes. Tho cash receipts for the
game will be around half; a million
dollars. If stadiums wore large
enough, a million dollars' worth of
ti. ':ets could be sold. Sport writ

Too bad! " Too" bad!
We learned today qbout a pine
orchard in California, said to ho
the only one. of Its kind on. tho
coast. It is near Ploeervllle, be
yond Sacramento. Here several
forestry experts are crossing wild
pines and treating pine seeds with
x-ray,, in un effort to produce a
giant pine of superior quality that
will mature In 2(1 years instead of
$0. It is claimed experiments here
tofore have been with wlid pines"f ho, Utah and Ore-ee-gon'1
only, producing wild pines. These
present experiments at Plncervllle,
if successful, will produce a pine
tree as different from tho present
pine as tho orchard pear today Is
different from the wild penr. Thus
man, with his brain, refuses to imi
tate Nature, but Improves upon it.
The heat here today, 07 In the
shade,, killed a man at the Flcis
hackcr pool. The newspapers ad
mitted it and also admitted thn
heat. More extraordinary, they
said- nothing about this being "un
usual,' which has been laugh e I
out of fashion. In fact, tho weath
er man said heat in September
must ho "expected,. But tho worm
has not " entirely : turned, as ,this
quotation will prove:
"What was the cause of the
Hent?"- asked- the reporter..
"It was caused by high pressure
in the state of Oregon and low
pressure in Idaho and Utah," was
the 'weatherman's reply."
This lets. California out. The sun
kissed state can't he blamed for
heat that is manufactured by the
provincial commonwealths of liln-
