After the Doctor
THE DRUGQIST
The doctor's work is only half
what has to be done for the pa
tient. And if the druggist be
lacking in ability and care the
prescription might as well have
never been written. But we
make a special study of each case
and our own medical knowledge
is thorough enough to be of great
use to us in those sometimes oc
curring cases when the doctor,
in his haste, makes a slight error.

CLARK OF LEVISTON
SAYS "GETTOGETHER"
P. W. Clark of LewUton, Idaho, who
attended the Yakima conference, is ad
vUlng growen In Idaho to line up for
bUHineasllke connection with the
Norfih Pacific Distributors.
"I believe," aayg Mr. Clark'that the
day of the high-priced big red apple
la over and from now on orcharding
must be brought down to a straight
business proposition, with all possible
overhead expenses eliminated. Apples
must be produced at a price that Is
within reach of the consumer, and I
believe the recently organized distrib
utors' association is on the right track
to solve the question.
"In the first place, the varieties of
fruit will bes old only when in season,
and the power of the association now
organized can secure the necessary
concessions from the railroad com
panies and protect Itself against dis
honest commission men who, in some
instances, have preyed upon the grow
ers and small associations that have
endeavored to handle their product in
dependently." Mr. Clark concludes that It is now
up to the producers. "The success of
the new association will be determined
by the attitude of the growers of the
various sections in turning their prod
ucts over to be bandied under the new
plan.
"It is one of the biggest business
propositions in the Northwest today,
but I have confidence that the man
agement is in good hands, and if these
men, who have made a success of the
small organizations, cannot pilot the
business of the larger association
there will be little use of the growers
trying to operate independently."
WENATGHEE WOULD
' ADOPT TWO GRADES
Wenatchee proposes to have this
year only two grades, though a third
grade may be accepted when Justified
by the market.
The Wenatchee Valley Fruit Grow
ers' Association held a meeting last
week and discussed this matter. The
two regular grades will be likely to be
known as "Guaranteed Extra Fancy"
and Guaranteed Standard." These
words will be printed on the new lab
el adopted.
The best pack would be the "Guar
anteed Extra Fancy." In this grade
all apples shall be sound, smooth, free
from worms, worm stings, water core,
scale, scald, broken skin, sun dam
ages or diseases of any kind, and of
proper shape according to the variety,
No apples smaller than 138 will be
accepted in this gr.de except Old
Wtnesap, which will be accepted as
small as 150, nor any apples that are
of a red variety that are not at least
three-quarters red except Rome Beau
ty and Ben Davis, when one-half red
will be taken in this grade. All vari
eties of yellow apples will be accept
ed in this grade. Winter Bananas
and Red Cheek Pippins must show a
red cheek.
The second grade would be the
"Guaranteed Standard." In this grade
all apples must be sound, free from
bruises, worms, worm stings, water
core, sun damages, broken skin, scald,
or diseases of any kind, and of prop
er shape according to variety. No ap
ples smaller than 163 shall be allowed
in this grade except the Old Wlnesap,
which will be accepted as small as
175 to the box. All apples of red
variety in this grade must show at
least one-quarter of red color. Ap
ples will be accepted In this grade
with slight blemishes such as limb
rubs and scratches, providing, howev
er, that no apple shall show total
blemishes measuring greater than
one-half Inch square. All varieties of
yellow apples will be allowed in this
grade.
MAKES HEAVY PLANTINGS
One of the largest plantings of or
chard land to be made this year will
be on the tract of M. Margulis of Port
land, who recently purchased 40 acres
of land six miles out on the West Side.
Mr. Margulis will plant 40,000 straw
berry plants, 250 d' Anjou pear trees
and several acres of apples. He Is
clearing his land with a donkey en
gine. NOTICE TO WATER USERS

Irrigation District are notified to
make their written applications for
irrigating water for the season of
1913 as soon as possible.

ATTITUDE OF THE
NEWS COMMENDED
Hood River leads and the move
which has been undertaken here tow
ards local consolidation of marketing
concerns and towards co-operation
among the apple districts, of, the
Northwest Is being watched with in
terests all over the country. That
this Is true Is witnessed by two or
three letters recently received by the
News from Its subscribers. These
follow:
Lolo, Montana.
Hood River News Company,
Hood River, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed you will
please find $1-50 to renew my sub
scription to your paper. I ovn some
property In Hood River alley ana
am particularly Interested in the
scheme for consolidating tin three
different shipping organization of
that place. I hope this organization
will be effected to the satisfaction of
all concerned and 1 am very much
pleased with the stand which your
paper has taken upon this coopera
tive plan in general .
Very truly yours,
W. B. LANHAM.
Omaha, Nebraska,
April 8, 1913.
Editor, the News:
I have been much Interested in
reading In the News the accounts of
the proposed consolidation of shipping
interests there. I have some proper
ty Interests in Hood River and have
also had some experience in the com
mission business which convinces me
that the apple growers of Hood River
have Been the hand writing on the
wall. I believe that if it is properly
handled and the growers stand behind
it that it will prove a great boon. I
also want to congratulate you upon
the attitude which the News has as
sumed In promoting the plan.
Sincerely yours,
ALEX. C. MACGOWAN.
Walla Walla, Wash.,

Hood River News,
Gentlemen:
Herewith please find check cover
ing subscription. Have been greatly
interested in accounts of progress
made there towards local consolida
tion. This is the vital question of
Northwest apple growers today. I
like the News' attitude towards this
great question. We want co-operation
among the districts but the first
necessity is to cut out the competi
tion at home. We sincerely hope that
it may work out satisfactorily In Hood
River. It will set an example which
others will be bound to follow.
Yours truly,
E. R. MacINTOSII.
MAY BE HEIR TO
HALF A MILLION
Whether or not he is one of two
heirs to half a million dollars is a
point upon which T. A. Pleplow, mana
ger of the Western Union Telegraph
Company here, is still uncertain fol
lowing the receipt rocently of a letter
from his brother in San Antonla, Tex
as. This letter stated that a rich
uncle had recently died in Australia,
leaving an estate of over half a mil
lion. No heirs could be found and as
the deceased was a German subject
the matter was turned over to the
consulate of that country. If no heirs
are found, according to the letter, the
estate will revert to the German gov
ernment. The latter Is therefore not
prosecuting the matter of finding heirs
very vigorously.
According to Mr. Pieplow's brother,
their uncle left this country many
years ago and first went to Brazil.
Later he went to Australia and there
amassed a large fortune. He never
married and therefore left no heirs.
Mr. Pieplow, although remembering
the uncle, is skeptical about the ver
sion of the story given by his brother
and will take no steps until he hears
further details.
BETTER THAN SPANKING
Spanking will not cure children of
wetting the bed, because It is not a
habit but a dangerous disease. The
C. H. Rowan Drug Co., Dept. 1473, Chi
cago, 111., have discovered a strictly
harmless remedy for this distressing
disease and to make known Its merits
they will send a 60c package securely
wrapped and prepaid Absolutely Free
to any reader of the Hood River News.
This remedy also cures frequent de
sire to urinate and inability to control
urine during the night or day In old
or young. The C. II. Rowan Drug Co.
Is and Old Reliable House, write to
them today for the free medicine.
Cure the afflicted members of your
family and then tell your neighbors
and friends about this remedy.
Hard luck! It's time to clean house.
But won't a host of people dodge
the Income tax?
THOUSAND LOADS OF
SAND FOR PAVING
About 1000 loads of sand have al
ready been drawn from the bar to
the Heilbronner block west of Fourth
street between Cascade Avenue and
Oak street to be In readiness for the
paving when work starts. The Trans
fer & Livery Company has the con
tract and several teams have been
kept busy for the past couple of weeks.
It was necessary to draw the sand be
fore the river rises above the bar.
There will be needed altogether be
tween 1200 and 1500 yards of sand for
the paving that Is to be done. That
from the bar comes from the Hood
River. When tested It showed a high
quality, being better than what has
been used for the same purpose in
Portland. The haul from the river Is
a hard one. About one and a half
yards are drawn to a load.
All the contracts for the paving are
signed and the bond Sled so that all
is In readiness. As soon as the streets
and subsoil are thoroughly dried the
paving plant will be installed and work
will be started. Giebisch & Joplin of
Portland, who have the contract, say
they will be able to complete all the
paving in between four and six weeks.
The contracts call for Its completion
by June 17.
WILL ADVERTISE STRAWBERRIES
It is probable that every crate of
strawberries that is shipped out of
Kennewick by the Fruit Growers' As
sociation this year- will contain 24
printed slips calling attention to the
excellent quality of the berries and
the fact that they are grown in one
of the earliest fruit belts of the North
west. One of these slips will be plac
ed In the bottom of every berry cup
so that when the housewife empties
the box In preparing it for the table,
the little booster message is certain
to attract her attention.
True-to-Name Nursery has opened
an office in town on corner opposite
from Oregon Hotel and samples of
trees can be seen in tree yard adjoin
ing office. Mr. Galligan will be at the
office Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days. GARDEN PLANTING
SEASON IS NOW HERE
