The original appointment, it is stated, was made by Judge Hasbrouek through a misappre hension. Commissoners Blaekman and Shep pard did not concur in the selection. ine action of Judge Hasbrouek aroused a strong protest among Upper Valley folk whose signing of a petition for Mr- Uoggett had been general.

SCOTT lW2 3rd Street First Nat'l Bank Building HOOD RIVER, ORE. Tel. 2804 PRICE LIST For Friday, Saturday and Monday The Newtown 1'ippin has come to be recognized the staple apple of the Hood River valley. In no place in America, according to apple buyers of England and the eastern part of the United States, can the Oregon New town be equaled for a yellow variety. r. r. Clark and C. W. McCullagh both acclaim the Newtown as the most sub stantial of Hood Kiver apple varieties. Growers are advised to plant the New town in preference to other varieties. How the Newtown came to be grown here is an interesting hiHtory. The brat Newtown orchard was planted by W. J. Baker. Other orchard tracts nau oeen set nere, Put growers, not realizing that the fruit industry would one day reach the commercial propor tions, had planted scores of varieties. There was no standardization. Mr. Baker and W. H. Bradford, both of them retired veteran conductors on early transcontinental railway Jines, had purchased West Side tracts. Mr. Baker s place was on Brookside drive. Mr. Bradford's was located on the old Tucker road. Mr. Baker secured all the available data on horticulture that he could lay his hands on. He learned, he says, that the Newtown was an apple of the best keeping quality and that it stood high with the English people. He looked forward to the day when it would be popular as an article of export. "1 prepared my ground," he says, "and ordered about 200 Newtowns tor my first setting. A short time later a triend ot mine, a nursery man, arrived at my home and wanted to sell me some trees. I told him that I had just ordered, but I remembered that my old friend, Bradford, wanted an order of nursrey stock and I otfered to take the tree man over to his place. Those were days when the nurseryman car ried with him plates of the apples in colors. Bradford Bat down with him and began ordering. 1 think he had requested a tree or two of some 30 varieties when he looked over at me. " 'What did you get, Willie?' he asked. 1 then told him that 1 had or dered, except for two trees, a solid block of 200 Newtowns. He laughed at me, referring to the Newtown as a hard, green thing that wouldn't be worth anything. I finally persuaded him that the Newtown had possibili ties, and he had the man put him down for 200 trees. "Thus was started the valley's New town orchards. That happened in the year 1887. 'The orchards are still bearing. My old trees were at one time the prop" eity of E. H. Shepard. They are now owned by a company, managed by Glenn B. Marsh." Mr. Baker's Newtowns, taking blue ribbon awards at the fan-American Exposition at Buffalo, N. Y., and the Chicago World's Eair, brought the first national fame to the Hood River valley. ered elite; tbey have fine homes, fine cars, large life but, "Are wicked and sinners exceedingly in the sight of God," as was Sodom. There are de linquent parents as well as delinquent youths. The home circle must be sprayed or the dirty moth will deposit the larva that will eat into the hearts of our youth and leave there the "Worm that dieth not and the tire that never hall be quenched." That dirty moth is wonderfully busy in the movies where are visioned various crimes and unclean things. There is a line course outlined in the New Testament for good morals and excellence of character. It is not in the school text books. It is for the home and the church. The New Testa ment says. "Parents, bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." No one is made go res ponsible as father and mother for good morals in the child. Our public schools may not be held responsible for the moral status of youth. It is not in the will of God; it is not in the will of our national or ganization. The Spirit of God has placed that duty in the home and in the church. Many of our public school teachers have not the "Wisdom that cometh from above." Its first element is purity, "First pure then peaceable, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocricy." The Lord said to converted men, "Go ye, therefore, and teach all the nations ;";and the church is made by Him, "The stav and sun- port of the Truth." Some of our pub lic 6chool teachers would be better pleased at the card table Sunday night than at a church service. They show it by the fact that they have no church arhliation. Christian ministers have a tremen dous responsibility for the moral tone of a community. But some of them seem to think their duties are limited by the circle of their little denomina tional representation in a given place The Master, viewing ill conditions. may say, ' How is it I hear of this of thee? Give an account of thy steward ship. My purpose in writing this article is pure; I pray it may do good that the homes may spray out the evil and work for extra fancy fruit of their lives seen in the vouth of our homes. So with kindest regards to all, Very truly, J. B. Lister.

Hood R.cr Attrition H Itr all kt The Corrupting Worm It is a great study for the grower, who desires to have the best comrrjr cial fruit, to get ahuad of the codling moth, the aphis, the leaf-roller, the scale, scab, anthracnose and blight. He cannot have the commercial fruit without strict attention to the business of forestalling these pests. The trees will not take care of themselves; noth ing will .take care of itself. Every thing with which we have to do de mands our watchfulness and ministra tion, otherwise we will look upon ci ders and cookers with deep regret and only wail, "It might have been." With care at the right time it could have been 90 per cent extra fancy and 10 per cent fancy. There is no profit in growing ciders and cookers. If we ever get to grow ing only ciders and cookers we will then decide to pluck up the trees. The atockgrower must be just as vigilant to maintain his standard stock. He cannot afford to let the stock he has been careful and at great expense to secure as standard, reentered stock to mingle with the undeveloped natives. Attention, Parents! There iH a bad moth and kindred pests that you must forestall or look upon the fruit of your lives seized with that "Worm that dieth not, and the tire that never shall be quenched." That ia hell for your child. Parents! Get down that old song, "Where is my wandering boy (girl) tonight?" and then get busy and apply the spray in your nome circle and head off the eating in of that dirty larva, that filthy old moth deposited in your child's mind. That sweet child you held in your arms, look ine lone into its features, sent your petition to heaven to guard your child and keep it pure ; your heart's desire was to have extra fancy fruit of your life. That sweet baby grew every day for a year, three years, six years, and you sent it to school. You watched it make progress until it passed from grade to grade, through the grammar school and en tered high school. How proud you were. You thanked the Heavenly Father ; prayed again for continued success. But, how sad though true, there was another home in the city where there was no prayer, not the same care, or expectation. There may have been wealth, but parental selfishness and daily disregard for that home circle; parents at clubs and card tables night ly and children abroad; evil and dark ness ; moths work at night, depositing that dirty larva in the hearts of those children and ate into the hearts and the undying worm developed and did its unclean work. There was no spray ing in thai woriuiy home. I hese children passed through the grades into the high school simultane ously with your loved, cared for, and ' prayed for dear ones. All reached a new condition of school life, and there MM a timely, natural change in your 1 boys and girls. A new social circle is formed. In this world are good and evil. We cannot get away from this fact. And the two are like seeds of , the garden, good seeds that will pro- j duce life and bad seeds that will pro- I doce weeds to be regretted, and to be ! hoed out daily. The wheat and the ! tares are growing in the world side by j side, the evil seed is in the children of that worldly home where the ing ie neglected and it gets sown in the hearts of your children in that new social circle in the school. Shall I tell you this fact, in the his tory of a high school in a not distant state? It is hard to tell it. But the state official gave me personally the information about 10 years ago. It was that 22 girls of that high school became mothers, some were of what we call the best families, of easy cir-', cL.mstances. Several of these children ; were born in the hospital: they were ' disowned, committed to the official du- j ties of this stele airent who was re quired to find homes for them. There ' were 22Jyoung men equally guilty in I this circle but undiscovered because of I unmanly cowardice, all the 44 youths 'corrupted antf moral culls, and the til : iby worm to be allowed to exist and I a..a msAla nn a r,si . r- WJ v iuj v ' ii 3 vu aim wi.. of that circle may be c:d-( A deep reduction in prices of Over land and Willys-Knight cars has been announced by C. A. ("ass of the Circle- Overland Co. The new prices are J effective immediately. The new price of the powerful easy- riding Uverland touring car, which by sneer merit or economy, quality and comfort has attained a dominant place in me ngnt car neia, t. o. b. factory, is 550. One year ago, this car sold tor $1035. m; .jn.i ... mis is an additional reduction since the reduction of 42 per cent recorded from September, 1920, to September iiwi, a total reduction of 47 per cent in a year and a halt, the most radical reduction in motor car prices in the history of the automobile industry. In 1916, the Overland sold for $605, a price that was thought could never be bettered, loday it is $115 lower. mi iit-ii . . ine winys-ftnignt touring car is now li6ted at $1,375, a further reduc tion of $150 since the startling reduc tion of 43 per cent made last Septem ber, a total reduction of 40 per cent in a year and a hair. These new prices were made possible by remarkable economies in manufac turing methods, the consumption of nign-priced material inventories, the practical total elimination of obliga tions for nigh-priced materials, the operation of a new, more progressive ana more economical marketing plan, and lastly, the heurty cooperation in the plan to build more cars per man each day, bv every employe in the four plants the company operates. TRANSPORTATION BY TRICKS RESUMED Motor truck transportation is get ting back to normal since the Colum bia River Highway was opened to traffic last week. Truck concerns are arriving here daily now with light freight. M. R. Noble Tuesday after noon of last week at 4 o'clock, accord ing to his report, ordered a bill of goods from a Portland wholesale house. Wednesday afternoon of last week at the same hour a truck was unloading the goods at his door. The Columbia River Motor Stage line, operated by A. Jaloff. of Port land, has resumed sehedulea between here and Portland. Mr. Jaloff has recently purchased equipment of the Fashion Stables, which formerly oper ated the Hood River-Portland motor bus lines. The local concern will con tinue a schedule between here and The Dalles, its busea connecting here with the Columbia River line. Summit Water Suit Settled The case of Kotlas Bros., ranchers of the Summit district, against their neighbor, Edmund Gehrig, litigation that has caused interest among irriga tion attorneys because it followed im mediately on the heels of an adjudica tion of water rights of the entire Hood River watershed by the State Water Board and local circuit court, has been decided by Judge Wilson in favor of the defendant. kollas Bros., claiming nisi me wHttr nojuoicaiion nad given them rights to Yew Wood creek, a small stream of the district, sought to restrain Mr. Gehrig from utilizing wa ter from a amall spring for domestic purposes and in watering bis garden. His claim was that the adjudication did not cover the spring in question. He claimed rights under a statute which provides that a spring in marshy ground, or without a definite channel, cannot be appropriated and taken from the land on which it ia located. Mr. Gehrig showed that there was no chan- frmt- nel from the spring n question until CHEVROLET The Economy Car of Quality Why not pay a little more and get a ear- That uses about 25(c less gasoline.
