THANKSGIVING Tomorrow U Thanksgiving the one day of the year which is set aside that all men mieht eive thanks foi the blessings of the year that is past. There is especial reason why the sense of thankfulness should be sin cere and spontaneous at this time. The Nation has passed through a try ing experience in the presidential cam paign and the resulting change of par ty administration, but to all appear ances prosperity has not been affect ed. Despite the radical change that ha been made in the governmental control of the country public confi dence has been unshaken and the prosperity of the country has been un impaired. Bumper crops promise a reduction In the high cost of living and a less strenuous struggle for a livelihood-dur-ing the year to come. In Hood River the apple crop, while it is not expect ed that it will bring fancy prices, will no doubt bring satisfactory returns to the growers and insure a continuance of local well-being during the year that is now ahead of us. The past year has been a fruitful one for this community in many ways. Inasmuch as Thanksgiving tends to cultivate a sense of our blessings as a nation, a community or an individual. it is one of the most important of the national holidays. The feeling of thankfulness is largely the result of a habit of mind. Insofar as we culti vate the habit we cannot be otherwise than contented and happy. If, on the other hand, we become blind to our blessing we are of necessity discon tented. Thanksgiving has a valuable lesson and something decidedly worth while lost if we fail to grasp the real meaning of the day. COULDN'T COMPEL WOMENJOREGISTER Aa noted in another column, what ever doubt may exist as to the right of women to vote at the city election next week has been "resolved in favor of the women and they will be privi leged to vote unleBS challenged. At torney . H. Hartwig maintains that there is no law to compel registration of women for city elections. He says: "A great deal of interest is mani fested in the coming city election and much conjecture as to the manner in which the newly enfranchised women be qualified to vote. "Section 2 of Article II of the Con stitution of Oregon prescribed the qualifications and the Supreme Court has decided that no additional re quirements can be added by laws or charters of cities. Any native born or naturalized white citizen may vote if a resident in the state for six months or more. "The city charter provides that the 'council shall have power to prescribe the manner of holding elections, etc' Since the council has not prescribed that voters must be registered and the city clerk has no registration books, the consensus of opinion of at torneys is that registration cannot be required, nor the swearing in of the voters unless the voter be challengd at the polls, in which case he or she must qualify as any challnged voter would, by taking the oath and answer ing the questions put by the judges of election. "The laws requiring voters to regis ter are State laws and only prescribe the manner of holding state elections and are entirely in the hands of the county clerks and state officials and are not available for the city officials In any event, so that even if the women were registered there it would not alter the matter in the city elec tion." HUNTERS RETURN WITH 71 GEESE Among the most successful goose hunters of the season were a party of four who returned from Eastern Oregon Thursday with 71 geese, which they bagged in two days bunting, re turning because they had all the game they could carry. It was almost a truckload when the geese were un loaded here and the four hunters stag gered uptown under their feathered load. Tb hunters Included Emmett Tompkins, Ed Wright, Captain O. C. DaA and bis brother, W. T. Dean. They went to Arlington and from there rode about 20 ml'-w out by auto to They reported a large number of hunters about Arlington and vicin ity, but few met with the success which equaled that of the local Mm-rods. iin PninirUTCO II U UHI1UIUMILO GO "BUSTED" HERE Reckless expenditures in order to reap the fruits of public office cannot be charged against local candidates iu the past election, who have filed their sworn statements of campaign ex penditures with County Clerk Hanson Least of all can extravagance be charged against Justice of the Peace Buck. Judge Buck swears that all he spent was four cents for the blank upon which his statement of expendi tures was printed. In reply to the in quiry as to "from what source secur ed," the judge divulges the fact that the funds came from his "left hand pocket." After these revelations by Judge Buck one is prepared for the state ments of the other candidates. Sher iff Johnson, Commissioner J. R. Put nam, Treasurer F. A. Bishop and Sur veyor Murray Kay all secured their offices with the minimum expenditure of $2.50 for the county committee fund. Judge G. R. Castner, who was en gaged in a contest for the office with S. W. Stark, spent $34.29 for postage, newspaper announcements and circu lars. S. V. Stark says he spent $46.40 as follows: stamps 50 cents; an nouncement in News, $2.50; 1500 post cards, $15; for list of voters, $2.60; to Glacier for printing, $25.80. TWO WOMEN QUALIFY ON ELECTION BOARD Both women who were appointed members of the city election board for next Tuesday have accepted and duly qualified. Mrs. J. P. Lucas will act as one of the judges and Mrs. Charles Castner as a clerk. Both stat ed that as long as women in Oregon had been granted suffrage they were pafc-pared to assume the attendant du ties and act on the board. Other Judges are J. H. Gill and John A. Wil son. City Recorder Howe will have addi tional ballots printed in order to be prepared to serve the women voters. It is not believed, however, that a great many will avail themselves of the privilege, inquiry bringing out the fact that many are reluctant about voting for the first time and without having given the matters to be voted on much attention. Polls will open at eight o'clock and will remain open until seven o'clock in the evening. The booths will be at the City Hall. APPLES IN FRILLS TEMPT EPICURES A commission man in New York City has contracted with an orchard firm at Lebanon, Mo., to ship him 6,000 fine apples packed in individual cardboard boxes. The growers get 15 cents apiece for their apples delivered at the depot in Lebanon. The apples are being picked and packed by young girls, great care be ing taken to have the fruit free from imperfections. The supply has been limited in order to keep up the price. The apples will be listed on the menu as "Ben Davis," "Ingram," "Minkler," "Willow Twig" or "Gano." The guest will indicate to the waiter the variety he desires, and it will be served in a box, with a silver knife with which to cut the seal. The guest is suppos ed to open the box and remove the apple himself. Each apple for the individual box must be at least three and one-half inches in diameter, of high color, and perfectly sound. At least two perfect leaves must be attached to each stem. Girls cut the stems from the trees with shears and carry the apples to a cloth-covered table, where a girl In spects them. Those that pass muster are then dipped in a solution which closes the pores of the apple and leaves, thus keeping the original fla vor in the apple and preserving the natural color of the leaves. After the solution has dried each apple is care fully wrapped In tissue paper with the two leaves exposed and then placed in a pasteboard box and the cover sealed on. The grower's name and the name of the variety is printed on the box. Twelve boxes are packed In a carton and six cartons make a case. The apples will be shipped in refriger ator cars and placed In cold storage in New York, to be drawn upon as needed. May Recall Convicts Governor West stated this week tha' the crew of convicts employed on the Shell Rock road will be returned to Salem until the controversy between the county and the railroad over right of way is settled. "If this Is not adjusted so we can go to work within a reasonable time," said thj governor, "the uiiexpendt-d money on hand will be returned to S. Benson and the matter will be drop ped." Mr. Iit-nson, a wealthy timberman, gave $10,000 toward having the road constructed. GOVERNMENT STAMP ON APPLES URGED That the Northwest's apples would stand better in foreign markets if they carried the stamp of government in spection, was the declaration made by ex-Consul-General H. B. Miller at the meeting of the State Horticultural As sociation in Portland. "There are planted In Oregon, Well ington, Idaho and Montana 16.000,000 apple trees, and by 1915 there should be offered for market through thi port from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 boxes of apples," said Mr. Miller in discussing the future of the apple in dustry. "I do not kuow what percentage of this tonnage will come through Port land. I'nless we make preparations for a foreign market, it will not be found. While I was investigating the apple market of Europe two years ago, with reference to American fruits, I found the Canadian Government stamped product displacing the barrel product of the States rapidly. I know that the foreign buyer is invited by the security of a government stamp as to quality of such exports. "I move you, Mr. Chairman, that a committee of five be named oy th'j association to confer with similar bod ies of the Northwest, to see if we can not get the government to inspect and stamp the apple boxes going to for eign markets." Mr. Miller's motion carried, and the president of the Horticultural Society will name the members. Their duties were broadened by an amendment to the original motion so as to embrace the work of investigating foreign mar- kes, that local producers may learn what requirements they must meet and what is the strongest incentive to be adopted in placing the Northwest ern apple in different parts of the world.
