eS ae cha eT roaerer> Great Rose Festival Is to Be Held, Aspires to Be the “Wool Centre” of the U. S. By Roger Batchelder. Henry Hamilton, of Portland, Ore., tells us at the Commodore that his home town should shortly become the largest wool-growing centre in the country. “Within the space of a few years,” said Mr. Hamilton, “Portland has grown from a small, inconsequential wool city to the second of its kind in the country. Dealers estimate that between 20 and 26 million pounds are recelved thore annually. Of this huge amount, perhaps 11,000,000 pounds ave consumed by the mills of this dis- trict; the balance is shipped to the Atlantic Coast. On one day last sum- mer a little more than 138,000,000 pounds were stored in Portland ware- houses,"* oe e PORTLAND WILL HAVE ROSES, TOO. Another booster from the same city ts Percy G. Allen, who Is at the Bel- mont to-day. “Pportiand is to have the greatest of ail rose festivals during June, the month of roses,’ Mr. Allen declared. “American Beauties will be every- where in the city, and every mole citizen of Portland will be asked to wear the American Beauty as a boutonniere on June 9, when the grand floral parade will take place.’ oe OUR 'IOVELTY DEPARTMENT.

HUNGARY'S POINT OF VIEW. “My country is not compluining, but is trying to help itself,” said Vr. Oliver Jacobi, counsal of the Com- merical Bank of Budapest, the larg- €st bank in Hungary, who is now at the Pennsylvania. “We are attempt- ing to meet the situation with cour- age,” he went on, “and I believe that we shall eventually werk out our own salvation. But I cannot put into English my opinion of the manner in which Hungary was partitioned at the peace conference, “More than two-thirds of the coun- try has been divided up, Includ:ng all the coal deposits and the greater pact of the factories,” he explained, “ond Portland, Ore,, Where the | which f it seems that this part:tion was mode without any knowledge of existing conditions, Suppose, for instance, that peace was made with the "Inited States after a war and that foreign- ers, many of whom had never been in America, dictated conditions 'n the Pacifie which were inspired by Japan. T imagino that you would have some- thing to say about it, That 4s the condition of Hungary to-day. We sought a referendum of the peome, but the plan was blocked by the country’s enemios because they know what the decision wovid be. “But we are not complaining We are trying to make favorable ar- rangements with the countries which have our lands, and I have no doubt that things will turn out right even- tually.” a ee LOUISIANA SEES THE SUN. “Rapid recovery is being made from the past business depression, and the business outlook for 1922 is very bright in this section,” said W.

"They are simply marvelous and their uniforms are quite striking. They are @ most handsome lot, tall, very good natured, always in- on clined to be courteous and all en- cyclopedias of information.
