THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1917. PICKERS ARE NEEDED oooooopoopopopoeoft oo&ofro6oo6o o f o'o ooooo o eo 0600 00 0000000 12 -1 Call for 1000 Men and Women "Sent From Hood River. FEDERAL AGENT AT WORK Growers Asked to List Their Xeeds Tor Season and Be Exact, so That Prospective Workers Won't Lose Any Time. Slore than 1000 pickers are wanted to aid in harvesting the Hood River apple crop and fully 300 growers are being- reached through circulars by the employment department of th United States Immigration Service. Men and women are bein? registered for pick In at the office of the Immigration Bureau, 424 Railway Exchange build ing, and R. P. Bonham, inspector in chargre, haa mailed TOO to 800 circu lars to workers in the district, direct ing their attention to the need of as sistance. In a special circular to growers he has set forth the following: It occurs to us that we can serve you even uetter than In the past ir you will notify us now just what pickers you will want, rather than wait until the minute arrives that you must have your help ami thn to take haphazard whatever you can j;ei. In this way we can register your help here now wit h much greater assurances of your having them when wanted. You should notify us now the approximate date that you will want the help to report, and fol low thHt later by exact information on the auh.iect, so that we may in turn notify the pickers the rxart time to go. In this way we hope to prevent great numbers of people froing to Hood River before the various or chards are ready, many of whom, after waMinar their time, money and patience. )ave in disappointment to discourage others from KOing. We are making the most sys tematic effort ever attempted to assist you. Whether it he a success depends on the extent to- which you and the other growers co-operate with us. It should be borne in mind that men are career even than last year, and therefore women must be employed more than here tofore. You should reconcile yourselves to this fact, and frovem yourselves and ar range your accommodations for your help accordingly. It is respectfully suggested that If your help is satisfactory this year you secure t heir names and addresses and Invite them to return next year. You are in a permanent business and your labor problem Is important and may be vital to you next year. I be lieve the reputation that Hood Klver Valley has. or may have, as to the treatment of Its seasonal workers will prove this year and in the future a business asset or otherwise. In a circular to pickers, sorters and packers Mr. Bonham has paid that men are to be paid 92.50 to $3 a day and women $2 to $2.50 and employment will begin early in October and continue from three to six weeks. It is sug gested that those having tents take them, though tents can be rented at Hood River for the picking season. "Women pickers could wear fem inall.s to advantage and are advised to wear heavy shoes, as most of the or chards are in clover and wet underfoot in the mornings." says the circular. FINE FEATHERS LOSE SUIT Decree Denied Woman on Xon-Sup-port Charge. "The mind of the court In this case was maoe up from the moment the complainant testified that she had sev eral diamonds and was the owner of five sets of furs," said District Judge Jones yesterday. In dismissing- the hdrge of non-support preferred by Bertha Carey against her husband, Richard Carey, a claim adjuster. Judge Jones announced that the proper place for the couple to settle their differences, Including the wife's charge of failure by the husband prop erly to provide for her, was In the Cir cuit Court, where a divorce suit, filed by Carey against the wife last Febru ary, is pending. WOMAN SPEEDER FINED Mrs. Xapier Says She Couldn't Watch Speedometer Going at 40-Mile Clip. "Have you a speedometer on your machine?" asked District Judge Dayton yesterday of Mrs. J. S. Napier, of Kiv erwood Station, who was in his court on a charge of speeding on the Colum bia Iliver Highway. The motorcycle officer who made the arrest had just told the court that the woman was traveling 40 miles an hour. "Yes. Judge, but how was I to watch the speedometer when going at the rate of 40 miles an hour?" was the in terrogatory reply of the woman. The Judge admitted that such an ac complishment would Be a difficult one, but suggested that by driving within the 25-mile-an-hour limit the motorist would be able not only to watch the speedometer, but to enjoy more of the scenery. .Mrs. Napier paid the $25 fine that was assessed against her. OLD BANK SITE AGAIN SOLD Henry C. II. Akin, ITntll Recently Banker at Sheridan, Is Purchaser.

' Dandruff Surely Destroys the Hair Girls If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, ellky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for It will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash It out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve It, then you destroy It entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all Itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. Adv. ii j 1 CSV PROMINENT MATRON TO BE A PATRONESS FOR CHI OMEGA'S BENEFIT DANCE AT MURLARK HALL FRIDAY NIGHT. 0 XE of the first events of the Fall season will be the benefit dance of Friday night to be given at Murlark ballroom by Chi Omega alumnae chapter of Portland for its lunchroom at Albina Homestead School. The alumnae chapter will be assisted by the active chapter Psl Alpha at Eugene and by Zeta Alpha Omicrom. a local sorority at Oregon Agricultural College which if petitioning for a chap ter of Chi Omega. A number of so ciety women will be patronesses for the dance. Miss Esther Maegly is general chairman. Preceding the dance Mrs. Kate Sappington and Miss Jean Kelly will entertain at a large dinner party at the George W. Kelly home on Johnson street. Thirty covers will be laid and the guests will include many girls from out of town, and also several Portland and Vancouver girls who will enter O. A. C. this Fall. Chi Omega is known for Its splendid social service work, and the Portland girls have made a special mission of giving good, nourishing luncheons to the little people of the Albina Home stead School and of other districts. To do this work they need funds, as the high cost of living is no respecter of persons. Last Winter there was such demand for the lunches that the girls went behind financially and, to keep the work going this season, they must gather together some funds. By. means of their effort the little boys and girls are provided with an excellent hot luncheon for a nickel, and those who can't pay (and there are not a few) are given the lunch free. The food val ues are considered and the health and welfare of the youngsters receives the strictest care of the Chi Omega girls. It is this practical work that has en deared the young women to the children and has won the commendation of the prominent women who will act . as patronesses for tho evening. A merry party and quite & smart gathering is in store. The list of patronesses Includes Sirs. William D. Wheelwright, Mrs. C. C. Colt. Mrs. R. R. Glltner. Mrs. Emery Olmstead. Mrs. Thomas Carrlck Burke, Mrs. P. J. Mann. Mrs. Vincent Cooke, Miss Grace Gillette and Mrs. Andrew Porter.

I can't tell just where these good women live, but I'm going to tell what they did. When a large contingent of Oregon boys ar rived in this far-off land, where they had no friends, no relatives, didn't even know one street from another, the society women of the city welcomed them and entertained them. They gave them some good home-cooking and made them feel that they were not among strangers, and then they wrote to the mothers here in Portland and told them about their boys. A few days ago some of tho mothers received these letters and they are rejoicing to know that the lads are well and happy, even though they are several miles away. Now the message found in this story is this: If you do some little act that will make someone else happy, why not do it at once? The things we leave undone often may make or mar a life. Tho letter we should write to someone In trouble, to some lonely person, to someone who is homesick, means much to them. Do it now. It's tho little things that are Impor tant. The button that we Fhould sew on. the shoes we should keep in order, are more conspicuous than the cut of our coats. If you can't afford to buy a new Fall suit clean your old one, press it well and see that your neckwear Is trim and jour heels aro set and shoes pol ished and that yjur hair is neat. Be well groomed. It takes some time, but it pays. The man who goes with a two or three days' beard on his face Is a sight. He never feels right. He has to apologize for his appearance. This letter is like speeches I have" heard at banquets. It's supposed to bo about one subject and ran-vbles off into another. But there is some excuse for them when tho banquet is long and the speeches longer. Dear Marian Miller I am engaged to a young man whom 1 feel I cannot love truly and I like another better. My fiance haa been in the Kaat for six months. What ahall I do? Shall I write and tall him or unaii i go anead and get ready for tho wed ing? iQun in perplexity. A LA GRANDE GIRL. By all means do not marry a man whom you do not love. But do not take up with the other in a hurry. Know your own mind before you take a de cided step. Y'ou will do a man a great injustice if you marry him when you care for someone else and ultimately you both will be unhappy. Love is more serious than a passing fancy, so be sure before you start out on another ven ture. Dear Mla Miner Two years ago a girl friend dared me to write to a young man here in Portland whom I had never Been. I did. explaining to him why I waa doing ao. He answered my letter, and we cor reaponded for a few months and then Just gradually quit writing. I found him to be a very nice chap and in several of his letters to me invited me to Portland (I had never been here then). Baying that aa I was a stranger here, he would be glad to try and make my visit plcuaau I just recently came here if -; w I ' ' ' 1 more ear. in Prices Coats- f Coats for cold weather for motoring and traveling-, in man nish materials and mannish effects, as well as dressy coats for afternoon, theater and evening wear.
