If always pays to buy at LARAWAY'S GIFTS THAT LAST afzvays pays to buy at LARAWAY'S NOT alone is the Diamond beautiful because of the purity of the rays that it sheds. The fact that its lustre will endure down through time, lends it value and beauty, too. Some gaudy tinsel may be made for a moment to outshine purest gold, but the precious metal never loses its dura bility. We pride ourselves on our gifts of substantial quality, gifts the workmanship and nature of which will render them heirlooms. And in passing we would call attention to the fact that gold watches and rings, is now at a low mark. The only increase from the increase in the labor expended in the making, and WHETHER it be a ring for the baby of plainest de sign, or with delicate setting, or a fine diamond, you will find it here. We set our diamonds in plati num. The other day we were told by a diamond merchant that at least 85 per cent of the jewelers of the country were unable to handle such work. We set our stones in platinum right here in Hood River.

SHOP OPEN DECEMBER 1st Located just east of Twelfth Street on Union Avenue. T. A. TAYLOR & CALBRUTH Proprietors 421 Editor Glacier I would like space In your paper to write an open letter to the Hood River Branch Experiment Station. Please answer through these columns. What, in your opinion, is the cause of the present prevalence of both core rot and water core on the same areas, or in fact anywhere? Core rot is fre quently ascribed to drying out of the soil during the growing season, and water core to a surplus of water. This brings me to the reason for making this an open letter, instead of a private question. When a reason like the above is heard as the cause of any certain con- anion, 11 wouia De Dotn costly and an noying for each one of us to personally inquire at the station as to its correct nee s. Besides, another reason is that any information I may secure from you belongs just as much to my neigh bor as to me, as we all pay for it. Once, or perhaps twice, during the year we have an open meeting where questions may be asked, but by that time many are forgotten, if the Coyote Club, or some other, has a banquet and our experts are there, much valuable information may be given out, but if we are not coyotes, the chances axe that we may never hear of it. lo illustrate how things may go Last summer, when I was after a load of pear boxes, I overheard two orch ardists talking. One told the other that be had secured (1 per box more for his d'Anjous by putting them in half boxes. Upon inquiring, I learned that the half boxes had been used for several seasons. That was the first I had heard about them. Now. the As sociation did not plot to conceal this from me, but 1 just didn't happen to hear about it, and nobody happened to tell me. I presume that this will be news to some growers, even now. How much valuable information we all may miss, in this way. We have no means of knowing. If I have made my case clear, may 1 ask all growers who have questions to ask. to do so publicly, that we may ail get the benefit, and it will also save the time of our public ser vants. I also ask you to believe that tnis is done with tbe best of intentions. and not in any way to embarrass anyone. Tbe station frequently publishes in formation, but tbe questions that in terest us at that time may be omitted. And as you have been so patient. please tell us why wormy apples and "stung" apples are so much in evi dence. Is it our own negligence, some chemical reaction from the p render, lateness of the spray call, or all the fault of the weather manT Who told me of all these troubles?
