AN IRRiTABLE, fault finding disposition is often
due to a disordered stomach. A man with good
digestion is nearly always good natured. A
great many have been permanently cured of stom
ach troubles by Chamberlain's Tablets after years
of suffering. These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions naturally.
Try them. They only cost a quarter.

sion is the "sublime pyramid of snow
we call Mount iloud, though, as Theo
dure Winthrop suggests, why should
mountains tt abused by the prefix of
"Mount ."' "Mount Chimboarazo," for
instance, seeming as "feeble as Mr.
Julius Caesar or Signor Oante." Ev
eryone's window is "open toward Je
rusaiem," for who would build here
atxmta on a site that dind't command a
view of the grand old temple pinnacle,
rising there, as it were, justacross the
lot".' When it's cloudy you wouldn't
know there was a mountain in the
state ; and sometimes when all the rest
is clear he remains distant and con
cealed, like a veiled prophet. Truly
"a cloud compiler" is he, and one to
which our evergreen domain owes
much of its evergreenness.
lint mostly the weather and scenery
i are superb, with Hxk1 benignly beam
ing down upon atomic mottals. while
the bloomy orchards make the fore
ground "a poseybed of nature."
From Homer Rogers' lodge, four
miles above Parkdale, one's horizon
commands, besides this vigorous prince
of the range, to whose wind-swept
slopes it is anchored, St. Helens,
"nueen of North America" ; Adams,
which Wainthrop called "Taconia the
Less, but noble enough to be the pride
of a continent," and Rainier, "divine
ly majestic, a silver mountain in a gol
den fcea,"as he saw it one day. Though
of course he spelt it Tacoma, adding
! that "mountains should not be insulted
by being named after undistinguished
bipeds." Quite right, Theodore, and
may your sentiments be consistently
adopted by your the national geo
graphic board.
Here a beneficent Creator spread
apart the mighty buttresses of our ca
thedral spire so that a wide area of
over 16,000 acres sufficiently level for
farming has been left between an un
usual formation like a great park, ex
tending almost from the base of a
great peak. The east and middle forks
of Hood river skirt the sides, and be
yond them each a chain of the buttres
sing mountains project themselves
down the valley till lost in the gorge
of the Columbia.
The Neal creek road along the east
side is like a ribbon binding the upper
and nether valleys together, for it ex
tends above and below the dividing
line between them, Booth's hill. Hav
ing steep and rocky sides, it is likely
to be long left in primeval beauty.
On the west side of the valley is the
famous Punch Howl, scooped out by
the pounding of the Middle Fork. It
is fearsome to gaze into, and from it
none w ho venture too far ever return.
The bugaboo of rattlers, it is said,
was long since exorcised from the
country, and that no snakes of any
variety inhabit these higher altitudes
This, then, may be recommended as a
safety zone wherein nervous females
may summerize in peace.
The loop road is an absorbing subject
and every land owner the whole length
of the valley can give cogent reasons
why it thould pass his door. The Kane
Line, whose road runs through Port
land, also falls north of Parkdale, an
other connecting link of interest.
There are discouragements in this
garden spot, however, though some of
them just now it may still be said,
winter in Tacoma busied at their re
spective callings of life insurance and
civic betterment. Q
A number of business and other
women have bought farms up here and
one of these fair orchardists. Miss
Grace Chambers, a Portland girl, is
doing practically all her own farm
work, inc lduing the running of the
spray wagon a malodorous and alto
gether unsavory task.
Not far away Mrs. Euwer presides
summertimes over the home of her
son, Eugene, a fine log structure befit
ting its setting ; and here another son,
Anthony (though known hereabouts as
Harry) drank inspiration for his
"Rhymes of Our Valley. In the
most virile of these, "The Blood in
the Apple," according to one who
knows, much more might have been
said of what goes into this king of
fruits as cultivated here than Anthony
tells.
It must be nice to have your own
home-grown poet, though it might be
claimed that Mr. Euwer was grafted
on; however, there's a lot of grafting
goes on here all the time. It is in this
book that another Portland girl, Fran
ces Gill, "she of "The Little Days."
who also charms many a larger audi
ence with her music, is immortalized
by his telling that
When Frances comes to our house
We range ourselves around
On cushions or the hammock or
The steps or on the ground ;
And then the stars they perch them
selves Above their favorite trees,
The bats, expectant, flutter 'round,
The crickets cross their knees.
And of the program and the postlude
lie sings:
Fond melodies, dear memories,
Hopes still of things to be.
Come crowding in as Frances plays
With tuneful witchery.
Then down the trail we make our way
By sage and chincapin,
Beneath the stars, with Frances there
'Long with her violin.
"Limeratomy" came next and the
people who have to look at the fashion-
made "dames" of the day w ill appre
ciate this selection :
An imag'nery line is the waist
Which seldom stavs lone where it's
placed,
But ambles and skips
'Twixt shoulders and hips
According to popular taste.
And speaking of "dames", Winthrop,
a most polished writer, used this word
and "tin" in 1853 in exactly the same
way as that of the slang-slingers of
1919.
Then comes Mr. Euwer's cat-book,
full of ludicrous conclusions about fe
lines, in jingles and prose. "Wings
and Other War Rhymes," which has
something of the ring and the swing
of Robert Service, is his latest.
To return to our lo-dly peak, it may
be said that one who truly desires to
understand and love our mountains
must acquire and absorb Winthrop'e
"The Canoe and the Saddle." Though
written nearly (50 years ago his whim-
Sfecial appeal is being made to the
hixjl children of Oregon, now released
from their schoolroom duties, to make
the most of their vacation time, not
only in play and relaxation, but in
trrifty effort to earn and save during
p rt of their holidays. Work for boys
d girls in the fields and the orchards
d about home w ill be more ber.ericial

p rtunity to earn money now that their

I he government in furthering the
V xt Savings Stamu campaign at this
time, is doing so, not so much for the
purpose of raising money for govern
mental purposes, as to the end of in
culcating habits of thrift in every per
son, that they may become better citi
zens, and that the United States may
maintain in peace times the record for
thrift it develoed during the war.
In this connection a recent message
to school children by Carter Glass, sec
retary of the treasury, is pertinent :
1 summon vou to solve one of Amer
ica's greatest financial problems : How
to make permanent among our people
the habits of thrift begun during the
war. The victory has been won. Let
us ca-ry over into peace times two of
the great lessons of the war the value
of thrift and the fact that good citizen
ship and interest in your government
come from having a part in financing
it. To you I intrust the responsibility
fcr making the future America a na
tion of thrift."
If you have a little money no one
can bully you. If you have none you
are more or less helpless and dare not
steak up for your rights. It is not
agreeable to be at anyone s mercv. If
there were no other motive for saving :
the wish to escape from such a situa
tion ought to be sufficient. Uncle Sam
olfers a most attractive saving and in-
vestment proposition for all who would j
be independent in every sense of the
word. He is selling Thrift Stamps at j
25 cents each, and War Savings Stamps
at $4.18 each this month. Thrift !
Stamps are intended to take care of the
pennies, nickles and dimes and quar-1
ties, that otherwise might be Bient ;
looiisniy. inritt Mamps can tie con
v rted into War Savings Stamps on i
which the government pays four per
cent interest compounded quarterly.
As an investment for the wage earner
this proposition can't be beat, and it is
primarily for the wage earner that the
o fer is made. Your banker will tell
y u so.

perhaps, "it is the war." Think of ! siral w it, keen observation and exq;iis
ue imagery are sun as reiresning t,s a

first apostle of the campaign voiced in
the slogan, See America First, if he
didn't coin the phrase. Even one,
Frank Branch Riley, who is so wittily
and eloquently trying to convince the
effete east that it should see the north
west and do it now, may find a new ar
gument in this old book wherein with
a trenchant pen the traveler writes :
"I , ask recognition for the almost
unknown glories of the Cascade moun
tains. We are poorly off for such ob
jects east cf the Mississippi. There
are some roughish excrescences known
as the Alleghanies. There is a knobby
group of brownish White mountains.
Best of all, high in down east is lonely
Katahdin. Hillocks these never among
them one single summit brilliant for
ever with snow, golden in sunshine,
silver when sunshine has gone.
Exaltation such as the presence of the
sublime and solemn heights arouses.
we dwellers eastward cannot have as
an abiding influence. Therefore,
needing all these emotions at their
maximum, we are compelled to make
pilgrimages back to the mountains of
the old world. But we v.ere
here forced to inspect also the heritage
of human institutions, and such a man
kind as they had made after centuries
of opportunity and very sadly depres
sing we found the work, so that not
withstanding many romantic joys and
artistic pleasures, we came back mal
content. Let us, therefore, develop
our own world. It has taken us two
centuries to discover our proper west
across the Mississippi.

ple in a climate where being is bliss

the aggravation to one who has tolled
long and hard. to put "the blood in the
apple" to receive only cents a box
for the best in the season, and now to
learn that apples are Belling in Port
land at two for a quarter! And hay
that went out of here at $20 a ton last
fall is being brought back at $-12!
Then on May 12 it snowed and several
light frosts have visited us since-all

The hamlet of Parkdale, which is
the railroad terminus, has two stores,
grade school, high school, photographic
studio, church .and library. The last
named is the only one in the county,
outside the county seat, and a neatly
painted little bungalow houses its
books and magazines. The community
church, organized by the late Rev. J.
V. Milligan, of Portland, and first pas
torized most acceptably by Rev. W.
L. Van Nuys, has a charming little ed
ificelittle, but rejoicing in a big min
ister. Rev. W. H. Boddy, an almunus
of Reed college, by the way. He is
not only a splendid preacher, fearless
and forceful, but he takes an active
interest in all community affairs, indi
vidual and collective.
Boy Scouts have a lusty troop with
Mr. Boddy as Scout Master and J. F.
Van Nuys, W. C. Smullin and Milton
Craven as assistant scout masters.
One of their activities is the commend
able plan to put half of Memorial Day
into clearing up the cemetery ; and the
men of the community, too, will help
by raising $100 or more for the same
purpose. Then here are the Grange,
the Rebekahs and Oddfellows. A Red
Cross organization performed valiant
service during the war; and 55 young
patriots from the upper valley alone
responded to the call to arms, a splen
did percentage, and only one gold star.
Illustrating the spirit of the valley,
a good story got out during enlistment
davs of one ardent would-be, who
i though a bit deaf, determined to try it
j out. When his hearing was tested
I with a watch and he was asked at each
j Distance if he heard it, he promptly
I answered "Yep." When the test was
! over the examiner told him the watch
I was not running. Fact. And he has
! a wife and two children here who
might have served him for "weather
strips" if he had chosen to avoid the
i draft.
As practically all the service men
i have ! already retrned, a big banquet
I reception is iaiKeo:oi:ior tne near fu
ture, to welcome them back to the
Valley of Peace, as a speaker on Blos
som Sunday happily named it.
C. E. Craven, who lives "in town"
for church and school privileges and
has a farm outside the "city limits,"
left a big studio in the east, where he
produced photographs of such high or
der as to make him a several medalist.
Miss Bess Owens, of Portland, an
other Reed graduate, is principal of
the high school as well as soloist in
the church choir. She is turning out a
tine little class at commencement soon.
Incidentally, Milton Runyon, of the
same Reed class, has spent some time
in these pints, though for his health
largely, it is said.
Not" far over there fur a while lived
F.ldon Furnish and his bride, Ruth Fra
ley, well known young Portland peo
ple. This was on the place built and
formerly owned by the Mi Hards, whose
Meant as a suggestion of thrift, the
a Ivice of someone to an owner of va
cint lot fruit trees to use the family
issors for thinning his apple crop
r ither than pay a comparatively high
) . ice for a new pair of thinning shears
n ay prove exceedingly costly. Indeed,
t' e transient grinder man would reap a
h irvest here now. It is likely that
s .veral husbands will have to invest in
new scissors.
It has all evolved from the promise
of high prices for apples. In former
years suburban growers have annually
complained that their crops were men
aced by insects and diseases as a result
of neglected city lot orchards. When
the story of the 1919 apple deal is re
corded it will be chronicled that several
arloads of clean, highclacs fruit were
marketed from the limits of Hood Riv
er. Days' ends and early mornings are
being spent by many citv men in thin
ning their crops. They have invested
lierally in spray materials and have
made life miserable for the men in
charge of the Hood River experiment
station. The grooming that some of
the city orchardists have given their
trees this season might put to shame
their country cousins, who pride them
selves on their commercial product.
Shenck at Class Reunion
A. A. Schenck, who usually come
here from Omaha to spend the sum
mers, writes that he has forgone hi .
annual journey 1 his year because of :
trip to Princeton University, where h
participated in the 50th reunion of thi
Class of 1809. The class won a silve
cup presented to the class having th
largest percentage of living member'
present for the jubilee occasion.
Mr. Schenck, who is now chief en
gineer of maintenance for the C. & N.
W. R. R. Co., was a pioneer engineer
for the old O. K. & N. Co., nnd while
engHged here he purchased orchard
and residence property. . He resided in
Portland for a number of years.
BOILING POINTS
TELL THE STORY
Contrary to the opinion held by a
great many people, the real value of
gasoline is not Bhown by the old fash
ioned gravity test. This test tells
nothing about the vaporizing and com-
bustive qualities of the fuel, as has
been pointed out by the National Bu
reau of Standards at Washington.
Only the boiling point test is really ef
ficient.
Boiling points, of course, mean ex
actly what the words say. That is,
they are points on the thermometer at
which a liquid will begin to boil. For
a cold engine to start quickly the gas-1
oline must vaporize at a low temper- i
aure. To get quick and smooth acceler
ation somewhat higher boiling points
are necessary and for full power and
long mileage the fuel must have still
higher boiling points.
High quality gasoline must have a
complete and continuous chain of boil
ing points, ranging from the low to
the high. Combustion starts with the
lowest and flashes on through the uni
form chain from low to high with the
result that there is full powered, in
stantaneous combustion. Eliminate
one link and the full-power chain is
broken. The famous Red Crown gaso
line has the complete power chain.
Club Buys Park Site
The Commercial club last Thursday
closed a deal with Mrs. M. Sue Hen
derson for the purchase of a three acre
tract west of the city to be used for a
free -automobile camping park. The
site is so located that additional prop
erty may be bought later. The club
raised a fund of If 1,000, all of which
w ill be appropriated toward buying the
iiarksite, from proceeds of the Fourth
of July celebration.
The city will equip the park.

Loss of Appetite
As a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and if
you skip a meal or only eat two meals
a day for a few days you will soon
have a relish for your meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that at
least five hours should always elapse
between meals so as to give the food
ample time to digest and the stomach
a period.,of rest before the second meal
is taken. Then if you eat no more
than you crave and take a reasonable
amount of outdoor exercise every day
you will not need to worry about your
appetite. When the loss of appetite is
caused by constipation as is often the
case, that should be corrected at once.
A ,dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will
do it.
