We must not devote too much space to a
branch which represents only one tenth of our
business and yet that one tenth is of the greatest
importance for we all know that it is not what
we make but what we save that counts.
If you have a large income and live it all up
each year you are going round in a circle and will
never get any place, but if you have only a mod
est income and save some of it every month you
are on the right road, for the habit tf saving be
gets thrift, economy and those things which make
for success.
After reading last week's advertising letter
a man told us that hia two children had savings
accounts with us and that he had occasionally
added to their savings but that he had never done
it systematically.
He liked our suggestion and asked us to
charge his commercial account one dollar every
Monday and put half of it in each of his child
ren's account.
The family that is in debt can well consider
a family savings account that will be added to by
each member of the family until a hundred dol
lars is saved up to apply on the indebtedness.
After the first hundred has been applied in
this way the pleasure of getting on in the world
will be great enough to warrant a continuation
of the plan until the debts are all paid and the
balance is on the other side of the ledger.
A man on salary that is anything above ac
tual living expenses is doing himself and his fam
ily an injustice if he doe3 not adopt some regu
lar plan under which he can have a snug little
sum to invest in some good security at the close
of each year's work.
Again let us invite you to take advantage of
enr Savings Department and begin a definite plan
to reap some reward for your labor.

Hood River farmers, who have rows
and are interested in the establishment
of a creamery in Hood River.are urged
to attend a meeting at the Commercial
club next Saturday at 10. 30. a. ni. This
meeting has been called by S. A.
! Mitchell, chairman of the committee
on manufacturing, assisted by J. 1'.
Thonisen, A. F. Hickford, of Pine
Grove, and C. E. Collin, also of l'ine
Grove.
At the rate cawt have been coming
into the valley during the past few
months and the talk heard on all sides
regarding contemplated additions to
the Hood River herds, there fa 'every
(.respect that the local creamery will
be a success from the very atari.
Already there is talk of establishing
automobile cream roulei in various
parts of the valley.
Cooperative creameries in many dif
ferent parts of the country have shown
marked success. The citizens of Junc
tion City have made a wonderful record
with their plant. The Trout Lake
creamery showed a good return for last
year. Hurnette h. Duncan, who was
in the Camas Prairie district of Klieki-
itat county last week, reports that the
ranchers of that district are making a
success of their creamery
The herds of cowa in the Hood River
valley have been increasing in carli ad
lots during the past few months. It is
relieved by many that should a plant
be installed here it will meet with
gratifying success
Mr. Bickford was particularly chosen
(or a place on the manufacturing com
mittee on account of his long experi
ence with dairying and creamery
affairs.
The two other prime movers in the
localjcreamery project are C. K. Collin,
of l'ine Grove, and J. l Thoinsen,
of the east Udell district, both mem
bers of the Commercial club. It was
really Cotlin who brought the local pro
iect to a focus and started the Com
mercial club committee into activity
resulting in the call for the meeting
next J-aiurday. Mr. Ihomsen repre
seiited the club in making a thorough
nvcsliuHlion recently of all the co
perative creameries in the Willamette
alley. Accompanied by Newton Sex
ton, of Odell, he spent several days at
the Junction City creamery, which he
tatcs is the most successful cooper'
tive creamery in the Pacific noith

Chris Myhre, manager of the Junction
City plant, will be present at Satur

When the farmers once umlertsand it

A. vv. I'eters and K. K. I'ooley, two
Commercial club members from the
Fast Side, are going into the dairy
business in earnest. They snent the
entire short course at Corvallis this
winter in making a study of dairying
and the judging of cows. They are at
present engaged in selecting a herd,
and planning their barns, etc.
The meeting Saturday is called for
10.30 and from present indications will
be an all day session. Farmers who
are interested are urged to be at the
Commercial club promptly at the open
ing of the session.

J. II. GILL NOW ON
CANDIDATE LIST
J. II. Gill, whose home is on the
Heights here, is now on the list of can
(liilutcs for county oflices, having an
nounced himself for county assessor,
on the Democratic ticket, subject to
the will of the voters of that party at
the Mav primaries. Mr. Gill, who has
resided in the Hood River valley for
the past 12 years, came here from
Monroe county, Wisconsin. He is now
sealer or weights and measures in
Hood River county. Mr. Gill was ac
tive in politics in Wisconsin before he
came here, having for nve years oeen
chairman of the board of supervisors in
that county. He also held the office oi
treasurer and township assessor in
Monroe county. He wps secretary of
the building committee that had charge
of contsructir.g the jail of the Wiscon
sin county.
The proposed operation of a cooper- !
ative dairy is now demanding the at
tention of the Hood River apple grow
ers and ranchers, and Saturday the
manufacturing committee of the Com
mercial club will hold a meeting ta
discuss the plan. While many cows will
he kept to advantage by the orcharlsta
of the Lower Valley, the larger num
ber of herds of dairy cows, because of
the fidapability of certain portions of
that region, will be ow.ned by Upper-
Valley ranchers. New herds nave been
brought into the Upper Valley and the
new industry is finding favor.
The upper community, however, oat
many orchard tracts, some in bearing,
and certain varieties, such as Graven-
steins, grow far more excellently there
than in the Lower Valley. Tbe Upper
Valley strawberries also bring a profit
to the growers. They come to matur
ity at a time when the Lower Valley
fruit ia off the market and aupply tba
demand at a time when they have a
practical monopoly. Tbe Upper Valley
berrica have a firmness that the house
wife never forgets, and local ladiea
wait for crates of tbe big luscious
Clark Seedlings that are shipped down
over the line of the Mount Hood Rail
road Co., before they begin their tea-
son a canning. More development hat
been cariied on in tbe Upper Valley
in the past two years than in any other
portion of the apple district, and mora
new settlers have made their homes
there.
Tbe dairy and creamery industry hsa
taken a deep hold there, especially in
the Mount Hood district, and already
cream shipments have begun. The
Mount Hood Railroad Co. hat made a
tariff on for the growers on cream, and
the cant are returned to them free of
charge.
The following it the data on Upper
Valley farms: Total number of acres

of a recent call issued by the county

day night at the club rooms of tha
Commercial club to discuss me pro
posed bonding of Hood Kiver county
tor better roads.
The Commercial club was invited by
the county court to tend a delegate to
the conference representing the city of
Hood River. At a meeting of the board
of directors held early in the week it
was decided to ask tbe court to elimin
ate the Commercial club from the con
ference and to request that Major
Reed be invited to appoint a delegate
instead.
"Our work really represents the
county as a whole, said President
Heilbronner. "not any one part of it.

county in general is involved. At for
