HOOD H1VKR GLACIER Till KSDAY. JUL! 28, 1021 New Prices on Titan and International Tractors Now Lowest Ever Quoted CFFECTIVE immediately, we make another big re duction in the prices of Titan and International tractors. These reductions wipe out all former ad vances and place Titan and International tractors at the lowest prices at which they have ever been sold. International 8-16 $900 This price is about one-fourth less th:in the price at which the 8-16 sold prior to March of this year. The new figure is the lowest at which it was ever sold. The new price includes all the necessary equipment platform, fenders, governor, belt pulley fea tures which must be paid for extra on some tractors. Titan 10-20 $900 This is the lowest price ever quoted on the Titan, considering the equip ment now included (formerly sold ex tra). Up to March of this vear the price was $1,200 today it is $900. At this figure the Titan 3-plow tractor is the best value in the farm power field. The International 15-30 has been reduced to $1,750 lower than it has ever been before. The man who needs a 4-plow tractor cannot find a better invest ment than the 15-30 at this price. (All prices f. o. b. Chicago.) Considering quality, power, equipment, and the service which follows every machine, Titan and International tractors at these new low prices are unques tionably the best buy in the tractor market. As these prices have been made regardless of manufacturing costs, we do not guarantee to maintain them. These prices certainly justify the immediate purchase of a tractor. Put it at the horse-killing work of hot weather plowing, and your fall and winter belt work. See our tractor dealer for full information on deliveries and terms.

LAUDED AT HEARING The Oregon-Washington Telephone Company's service received some grat fying recognition at the state tele phone hearing, now under way at Sa lem. The following appeared in the l'ortland Telegram Saturday evening: Asked if the semi-automatic or se lective ringing system would be feas ible in Portland, Major Babcock re cently replied that it would "be abso lutely feasible." "Would it be feasible in other cities in Oregon," was asked. "Yes. The smallest city where I would recommend its use would be a city of the size of Hood River." He explained that the system in its eariler stages of development is now used in Hood River which is considered to have about the most satisfactory service of all cities of that class in the west." "But Hood River's plant was one of the first in the state to ask for an in crease in rates," interrupted Commis sioner Corey. "That is explained," replied Mr. Babcock, "by the fact that the Hood River territory is the most difficult to serve in that the service is to five and ten-acre farms and not to fifty-foot lots. While it stands unique for its service, Hood River could never be an example of low rates." Insist on genuine Ford parte when having your car repaired.

Huelat, who is just back from four weeks spent in south ern California, "from the surface it appears that the business interests of Los Angeles and other southern Cali fornia points do not know that any period of depression is under way. Businesss seems good in all lines." Mr. Huelat while away had the unique experience of witnessing an oil gusher being brought in near Long Beach. He visited his wife's nephew, Kenneth Montee, officer in charge of the Roger's Air Fort at Los Angeles, and made several journeys by airplane over the district. MR. APPLE GROWER If you are thinking of buying a GRADER, let us put before you the following facts : by Hood 1. The CUTLER GRADER was developed in Hood River River orchardists and has long ago passed the experimental stage. 2. The CUTLER GRADER has been tested by eight years use in the hands of growers all over the world. 3. There are more CUTLER GRADERS in use than all other makes put together. 4. The Sorting Table on any grader is the most important part. The 1921 "Two-Method" Sorting Table is the most efficient device for sorting fruit yet devised. It will enable you to grade your fruit to the best advantage, no matter how your grades run. 5. The CUTLER MANUFACTURING CO. are in the business to stay and will give you repairs and service whenever you need them. Don't invest your money in machines which have not been thoroughly tested and proved and backed by a firm in the business to stay. See or phone C. M. SHEPPARD, Odell 16 X OR WRITE US CUTLER MFG. CO., 353 E. TENTH STREET, PORTLAND, OREGON RURAL SERVICE IN COUNTRY WEEKLIES (Hv C J. Mcintosh, Agriculture Fress Kditor. Oregon Agricultural College in Oregon Voter) A one-half 49 per cent rural ser vice was paired with a near three fourths 70 per cent advertising busi ness as the average ratios in the eiht newspapers winning in the Oregon weekly rural service contest just con cluded by me department of industrial journalism at ttie Oregon Agricultural College, me one-tourth 24 per cent - rural service of the 72 non-winners was paired with a one-half 49 per cent -advertising business as the aver age ratios. Jt is not necessary to deny the exist ence of other factors in determining the relation of rural service to adver tising in order to accept theinference I that it pays best to advertise in papers j carrying a type of material that makes ! them in largest numbers to the pros- pects that must depend upon this ad- vertising for their information on goods, qualities and prices. Of course there are other important factors, but even at that some of them are closely connected with the policy that develops and uses a great deal of country news. Community prosperity is one of these factors, ami community prosperity in farm and home life, pro gressive activities and a substantial agricultural background for urban sup port, naturally and logically follows newspaper cooperation in community building. Is it not significant of this truth that the first two places in the contest were taken by Hood Kiver papers Hood Kiver made world famous by its won derful products and wonderful methods (inputting information of them across? Ol course the newspapers helfJed doubtless made it all possible. And now they reap the reward of their community building work in such gen erous advertising business for their own columns that the judges laughing ly remarked that if the editors do not own the banks It is only because they own the rest of the valley and don't need the banks, "Bread on the waters"- that's what country service hasbeen to the Hood Kiver press. Scarcely less marked are the results on their own business of constructive work done for their com munities by the other eight. Indeed the same quality marked the best of the papers In the 72 list, and the same evidences of country service and busi ness reward showed unmistakably in the three papers that all but won a place among the leaders in use of coun try service. In computing number of rural stories a story was deiined as an article un der head lines, a paragraph in local or editorial columns, or a group of items under a 'single head such as country correspondence from one center. Most of the stories were short, but not too short to be reasonably complete. Knral news was chietlv in the form of country correspondence; accounts of personal and social happenings; farm and farm home reports; articles and items on crop outlook, condition, har vest and sale; church, school and other rural organization attairs ; agricultural and home-making information from the state college experiment station, and extension service, federal depart ment of agriculture, county agents, fruit inspectors and cooperative grow ers' association ; with a liberal sprink ling of editorials on important rural problems. County road measures in eluding bonds and highway construc tion had good space in most of the i nners. On the other hand the best papers carried but little general news of the world, nation and state, evidently rec ognizing the greater economy and efii cieney of the city and town dailies for that type of news. Long technical articles even on agricultural and do mestic topics were left for the farm press, which can handle them much better and more cheaply. Although many country editors find, or think they have found, that fiction in serial form is a good circulation builder, none of the winning papers Carried any serial or other fiction, leaving that to boohs and magazines. It is not merely the high cost of production that makes it expensive to load the local paper with such general matter, but the high value of the space for advertising pur poses. The winners recognized the limits as well as the splendid oppor tunities of their fields, and made every inch count either for paid advertising or tor material that their readers could not get anywhere else. That is the key to their success as it appeared to the judges. The judges themselves were practi cai business men selected with a view to their talent for the job and the broad comiiosite view they would take as a body. I he chairman was C. K. Ingals, editor of the Corvalis Oazette- Times, daily, and president of the Or egon Editorial Association. Col. h. E Faville. editor of the Western Farmer and chairman of the agricultural com mittee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, was able to contribute the "farm slant" to the rural matter. W. K. Kennedy is an advertising specialist who looked after those phases of the entries that go to make their messages credible and impressive. That two of the judges represent per iodical publishing sometimes thought to be more or leaa competitive with the country papers ia nothing strange. The" field of the country weekly i clearly delimited from that of the daily on the one hand and of the farm magazine on the other. Kx tension and betterment of rural service in the country weekly will stimulate both the dailies and magazines, and the advance can best be made three-abreast. Indeed an enlarged and improved country service, will benefit the pub lisher, the merchant or other advertis er, the dail and magazine publishers, and most of all the farmer and active exponents of rural life at its best. CHAS. CHAPLIN has taken a partner in the fun busi ness. It's Jackie Coogan, the Kid. They're the greatest combination of mirth-makers who evar got together; and the laughs that Charlie maybe overlooks come fresh and snappy from the kid. And would you believe us if we told you that here and there, through the six great reels of the biggest comedy the world has ever seen, there's a sob? It's a fact and that's what makes the laughter bigger still.

The heavy mo tor traflic this spring over the com pleted grade demonstrated that it would be necessary to rock the new surface, and it was feared that suffiri ent funds would not be available for the rocking and grading. The county, spending special appro priations and funds raised by private subscription the past two years, com pleted a new road to the national for est bounds last year. The section of road in the forest, only about a mile and a half of new grade remaining to be cut, will bejlinished this year. SECTION OF LOOP ROUTE IS REVISED C. M. Hurlburt is now engaged for the State Highway Department, relo cating three miles of the valley trunk portion of the Mount Hood Loop road near the entrance of the Oregon Na tional Forest. The original survey proceeded to the forest bounds up the canyon of the Last Fork of Hood riv er. The revised survey will carry the road above the canyon, and construc tion, it is said, will be much Icrs ex pensive. The new survey will pass near the Upper Valley homestead place of .1. O. Ilannum. The following are members of the surveying crew : B. l!aker, Robert Waugh, Mont. Gihbs and Charles John son, all Oregon Agricultural College students, and Iluijh Shearer and Joe Krwin.
