o HOOD RIVER GLACIER. THDRSDAI OCTOBER 20, 1921 The Farmer Today Is a Business Man HE does not run his farm in the haphazard fashion he did ten years ago. It's his business. He figures his costs and profits. He knows, of course, what he gets out of the productive acres of his farm and how much he is paying out in taxes on the idle unproductive stump and swamp land that brings in nothing. That Is Why He Is Clearing More Land Every Year It's just good business. Every acre cleared and planted means more profit every year. The clearing cost is usually more than covered by the first crop. More land is being cleared, too, because of the manufacture of dynamite made for this purpose, which makes the work easier, quicker and more economical. Take an Inventory of Your Land How much is productive? How much idle? Then see our local dealer and plan how much dynamite you need for this season. He will help you and will furnish you with reliable, efficient and economical explosives, now in greatest demand throughout this section V i S-1T OR REPAUNO STUMPING POWDERS (Pacific Northwest Products) Send for 100-page book giving full details regarding use of dynamite for land clearing, ditching and tree planting.

MOVIES TAKEN OF COLUMBIA GORGE The following in the Sunday Ore gonian explains the recent actions of a big hyproplane over this region : Motion picture views of matchless scenes along the upper Columbia and in the watershed of the White Salmon river in Washington have been filmed on a comprehensive scale for the first time from an airplane and will be ex hibited locally, first, and afterward throughout the United Staei, to adver Use the 1925 fair. The pictures were film 'd by a Fort land motion-picture company from one of the big hydronlanes of the Ayres Airplane Company, in a scries of haz ardous tiiehts. The In nr nhip was piloted by Lieutenant Vern U. Ayres, war veteran who both during tne re cent world struggle and since has be come accustomed to mak ing perilous trips tk, (Ugh the air. "In a I my experience," says the flyer,; ' 1 never made sl :h difficult and dangjrous flights as during the past week when I piloted a nwhine for the Northwestern Electric Company over the ruifL'ed mountains of the White Salmon river, a tributa'y of the Co lumbia that empties neur White Salm on, Wash. It was necessary to fly low n order to take the kind of pictures wanted by the NorthweHirn and the air currents and pockets in the tremen dous gorges over which we passed were unlike any I had ever before en countered. Had anything gone wrong with the air craft at any time on the trip the cameraman would certainly have been killed, as then' was no place to land in safety. Ihe pictures taken on the daring trip of the hydroplane are said to be the most unusual and remarkable ever screened in the northwest from the air. It was the idea of F. J. liuckley, stock sales director of the Northwest ern Electric Company, that the pro jected fair being primarily a hydro electric exposition, a series of Alms showing how electricity is produced, and where, would be unique and inter esting publicity.for the world event. W"1-I'-I'H"1'H"I-"1"I"1M-1"I"1-I"H"M- Clipped Here and There I ,i, l,.l,.l,.l.,.,l,,HH-l-H 'I-I I"l' l l H"M l One of the most severe criticisms ever offered to any community or state was that one to the effect that 25 per cent of the public school children were underfed. Wherein is there any justi fication for such a charge? 1b there not food enough? Are there people in this country suffering for want of food? Are there parents who are so unmindful of the physical needs of their own children as to let them be hungry and underfed? There are thousands of such children in Fortland, in Seattle, in Spokane, in Tacotna, and other cities, they number by the hundreds, and yet these cities are surrounded by sections of country moat ideally situated for the producing of milk and the growing of fruits and vegetables. Because some mothers neglect the feeding of their own children it is nec essary to introduce milk into the pub lic schools. In Washington state the last legisla ture made a law providing that any school board may serve milk to the children at the expense of the school district. Upon first thought many people contend that this is a class legislation, but is it? The purpose is not to sell milk hut to add to the effici ency of the public schools. Experience guinea in many states by having milk served in school has proved that : (1) Children cat better at noon and at all times and thus become better nourished. (2) Children are less tired, better natured and not so hard to please at meal time. (3) They do better school work, be cause they have belter application. they are not nervous during school hours. (4) They catch cold less easilv and hence are more regular in their attendance. (5) Children who have milk during school hours make better advance ment. In lioa Angeles it was found that during an eight years' survey the eighth grade graduates who drank milk daily were two years younger than those who did not drink milk. Oregon "Health First" Bulletin. In a certain Pennsylvania town there was a man by the name of Jones who took uponhimself the task of watching the operations of the town council. Bv occupation Jones was a machinist. He was such a Ine workman and knew so mucn anoui auiomoiuies ami oiner devices that he had all he could do in his own shop. So Jones mended ma- chinqry for a living, and watched the council on the side. He did it partly as a patriotic duty, and'partly to see what one lone man could do in dealing with the town g" eminent. Jones attended cuUDcU meetings with more regulariU thai moat of the mem bers. He kent lab on each memlier how he voted and what he said on each measure that came up lor action, u anything was presented that Jones did not understand, he would ask ques tions. If he could not get satisfaction at the council nueting he would de mand a public hearing. That moe ;lv ays brought a crowd. for Jones knew I W to make such oc casions very inter-sting. By the time Jones got through with a hearing the people knew ali a I out the proposition. There were - veral things about Jones that inspired respect and fear among the council members. He was sensible, he wa informed, and he knew how to ex ress himself. If he objected to anv measure, he gave his ence spread, ana ere known as the "peo- f the city council. illy snd without psy, hit he did was of prevented extrava- ,'raft. citizen, who had a f a citizen's duties, uncil walk straight . le.

Through the medium of his radio- pnone Mr. moore collects irom the air songs, sermons, musical selections and what not, and can get enough jazz for a dance almost any evening. Mr. Moore is registered at the Multnomah. Oregonian. LABOR UNiON PLANS EDUCvliONAL MEETS Otto R. Hartwiir. president of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, and He v. W. H. Boduv were sneak ers at the first of a series of educational meetings planned by the local affilia tion of the labor organization. A number of the proposed meetings will be open to the public, according to Dewey Alford, head of the union here. Mr. Boddy made us a very inspir ing talk, says Mr. Alford. ' He pointed out the necessity for education n all the internal departments of our organization. A keg was opened. Ihe entertainment committee declined to disclose the character of the contents, but everybody accepted the beverage. Doughnuts were served. All in all it was a pleasant occasion." . NEW TRAFFIC ORDI NANCE IS ADOPTED The city council has adopted a new traffic ordinance. The full text of the new ordinance follows : TRAFFIC ORDINANCE No. As Amended. 541 An Ordinance regulating ulreel traf fic in the City of Hood River, and repealing all of Ordinance No. I tili except Section U (hereof.

She is a British steamer of 4.857 net tons register owned by the British In dia Steam Navigation Company and built in 1919. She is scheduled to reach 'ortland for loading by November 13. Ihe first shipment of apples from Portland by refrigerated steamer will be made early this week on the British steamer Northumberland, now on fu get Sound. This big freighter, the largest ever listed for Portland loading also will be handled by Norton, Lilly Co. She is operating under charter to the Isthmian Steamship line. This week is expected also to see the loading of fresh apples aboard two big British steamers operating in the joint service of the Royal Mail Steam Pack et Company and Holland-America line. These are the Moliere and Cardigan shire. Both of these steamers will be handled by the Oregon-Pacific Company. Large stores of apnles already have been received at municipal terminal No. 4 for loading into the refrigerated ompartments of these steamers, and many more carloads are expected to arrive during the week for direct handling on the pier from car to ship. California Apples Move Slowly California apple growers are not ex periencing anything like a satisfactory deal, but this situation will be tempor ary, in the opinion of a number of San rancisco dealers, who expect condi tions along this line to show marked mprovement in the near future.- the movement of California apples s extremely slow now and growers are praying for cool weather to stimulate consumption. Light demand is indi cted by the rapidity with which stocks are piling up in icehouses. Holdings in storage in han Francisco increased almost 34, 000 boxes during the week ending last Friday, according to figures released by San Francisco cold-storage companies. Current hold ings are far in excess of those reported at this time last year, amounting to 117,943 boxes, as compared with but 19,087 on the corresponding date in 1920. Shipping demand for California apples is light. Wires received by San Francisco commission houses. Friday morning declared that the situation as regards the California product was not very encouraging. The first straight carloads of new crop Spitzenburg apples of the season were received from the Hood River district Fridsy. Sales were reported at $2.50 to $2.75 per box. WHITE SALMON (From the KntorprlHei The apple crop of the White Salmon district is proving much heavier than first estimated. J. E. Slade, of Hu sum, will have 10,000 txixes more than he first figured on; L. J. Phebus has ordered 2.4(H) more boxes, and a num ber of growers ot the Ml. Brook dis trict are abso ordering many more boxes. The band boys are home again after a four-day engagement at the county fair. Everybody, who was in Golden dale, says it was the best music ever heard at the Klickitat county fair and that is giving the boys some praise. The lioys msde a big hit, as their play ing was one of the big features of the county fair. State engineers have been working on Cooks grade, securing data on the grades and amount of work necessary to remove the rock on the curves. The same crew completed a survey from Underwood to Hingen and their rexrt is now in the hands of the highway commission at Olympia. Action by the state officers on these two projects will be taken up and adjusted so work can be done this winter. "AH food in package form contain ing more than one-half ounce must contain a ststement of quantity of con tents which must he plain and conspic uous and correct, " said O. J. Brown, federal Food and Drug Inspector, who was in White Salmon Thursday in selecting apple shipments. from the lo cal depot. "It has been noted that some pack ers are not complying with this re quirement. This is to warn shippers that goods not'plainly marked will be contiscsted by the Federal Food & Drug Department" announced Mr. Brown. It la learned that two carloads of ap ples wtre held up yesterday because boxes were marked so much gross weight instead of the net weight. heat Crop Retires 60 Cents B. E. Drewry, of Sac City, la., who while on a motor tour stopped by here to get practical experience in apple picking, is also owner of 160 acres of land in North Dakota. While bereMr. Drewry received a statement from his tenant, who announced that his net return from the wheat crop on the place this year had reached 60 cents. It was cited that weather conditions had resulted in practically a crop fail ure. The tenant had hauled to the elevator 140 bushels of wheat, for which he received $110.60. Threshing and other charges had reached theft o talof$110. "I have reachedthe conclusion that the North Dakota farm is a very had investment," said Mr. Drewery. "The N on-Part Han I aue 'operations have resulted in an increase in taxes by about 200 per cent. Owning land there is a burden. The City of Hood River does ordain as follows : Section I.
