Some very good men talk tno much,. Rut as a man arts, to shall vou know him. And that is why we are going to relate a little story of Frank Stanton, newly appointed fruit inspector. It i a true story, and we suggest that any one accused by Mr. Stanton of violations of horticultural laws, submit and take hit I'unishment. He will not accuse with words but with evidence. This i the story : Mr. Stsnton a number of years ago went down to Salem to attend a state fair. In his grip, along with his extra tthirt, night shirt and change of under wear and socks be hsd put some of the finest Graveneteins to be picked from his Odell ilace. lie registered at hi hotel and then sat down to smoke near a group of men in conversation. He pricked up hiis ears as he heard them discussing Hood River, and he pricked th m a little higher as he heard them misrepresenting the fruit district. But Mr. Stanton spoke never a word. Like the tar baby of I'm le Remus fame, "he say nuflin." These were some of the expressions he heard : "That's all buncombe about Hood River growing better apples than any other place. I have eaten their apples, but I've eaten far better than thev grow up there." "Yes, Hood River has just been ad vertising. They can't grow any better fruit than the Willamette valley." And one old patriarch, who confessed that he was an excellent judge of fruit, confirmed the stories of the oth ers. There was a lull in the conversa tion and Mr. Stanton, turning mildly to the patriarch, remarked that he under stood him to say he was a good judge of fruit. 1 Drought some uravensteins up from my place," he said, "and 1 would like you fellows to try them." Mr. Stanton is not the kind of a man who calls for a bellhop to lug his bag up to the room and it was still at hi fett. He reached down and opened th? valine and took nut some of his apples handing them to the erstwhile Hood Kiver knockers. Except for the mum h ing of the juicy Gravensteins, all wa silence for a while, and then the patri arch said : "I never ate a better Gravenstein i my life," and his companions nodded Mr. Mantcn looked the men ove with a twinkle in his eyes, Rnd then he told them that the GravensteinB had been grown on his place, up in the Hoood Kiver valley. "1 don t givead-n where it grew,' declared the patriarchial judge of good fruit,"! never ate a better apple in in l.fe." Mr. Stanton had produced the ev tience, and he turned knockers to Hood Kiver boosters. TOO MUCH TALK A. Hell, of the Hood River dele gation t) the Portland reconstruction Congress lant week, taps the na squareiy on me head when he says reconstruction gatherings are charm: tt r.zed by too much talk and too littl concrete action. Committees are talk uig, isiKing, talking and soldiers are going unemployed. Mr. Bell, who him self offers work for as many at soldiers, cutting wood, if they are un able to get other work, was a member of a comrrittce of five, who presented a resolution that will memorialize Con grei-s to immediately provide each en listed man with an allowance of one month's pHy and $S0 for purchase civilian clothing at the time of dis ehsrge and succeeding monthly pay ments f r five months. NO, IT'S PATHETIC Says the Pacific Printer: runny, isn t it, that the man who thinks he is a business man will get up in the morning from an advertised mattress, shave with an advertised razor, take off advertised pajamas, and put on advertised underwear, adver tied hose, shirt, collar, tie, advertized hat, feat him?elf at the table and eat advvrtiHPd breakfast food, drink adve . : i ... iT . i ... . lined con re or FUDSlllUte, put on a advertised hat, light an advertised gar, go to his place of business, and turn down an advertising solicitor for his home newspaper on the ground mat auverusing doesn t pay? North American readers ghoul i wel come the announcement of the Associ ated Press that its South American service will be vastly extended, better acquaintanceship will result mutual good. We will come to learn that our Latin American neighbors are not so very different in their aspira tions from ourselves; that they ar progressive. The acquaintances!! will foster better commercial re lions. Kvery high school of the country should fall in line and provided courses in Spanish and Portuguese for ihose of German that have 1 cen abolisled. jor. 16.40 ; pcterity to requiresi.60; Art It is an insult to children to study German, the language of kultur.

We do not ; ned any more German, but do need : to come to a better tndritandiog with our Latin American neighbors. And it it high ime that our ehooli were pay- ir,g a greater atter.tun to the study of i Spanish and Portuguese. 'lu an ill wind that blows nobody ixkL" The irfiueiti epidemic may result in masked legislators at Salem. and thus a lot of voluminous, nones sential words may be eliminated. If the legislators are required to mask, the coming season may make a record work accomplished. Another thing that should not be overlooked iit connection with the leg Ulature and the influenza, perhaps he pandemic will frighten off the iwarm of lobbyists, remaps we win be permitted to see what legislators can do when they have a fair chance.

For some time past the Highway has been and yet open. On Columbia efficially Saturday Kiver losed when it waa officially opened, a slide blocked it. Soon it will be springtime and The Fashion Company's Portland-Hood Riv- auto buses will be seen in daily dight down the Highway. Get a "Flu" mask if you are going to Portland. OBITUARY Mrs. L B.
