We issue twelve month time certificates bearing four per cent, but at this time we are only paying three per cent in our savings department. However, the following from the Portland Jour nal of April 27th by John M. Oskinson is straight to the point and is worthy of the most careful consider ation by anyone who wishes to better his financial conditions. "A friend of mine said to me the other day: 'Do you know what income you'd have if in IS!) 1 you'd be gun to save $5.00 a week, put that amount regularly in a savings bank which pays 4 per cent and com pounds the interest twice a year?' 'No, 'I said, 'do you?' 'Yes, I do,' replied my friend. You'd have a steady income from your savings of $6.00 a week, and you'd have a capital of $7,800.' 'Well,' I argued, 'I couldn't have begun to save $5.00 a week in 18941 was still in school and not earning anything.' 'When could you have begun to save that much?' he persisted. 'Oh, about five years later than 189 1, ' I said. 'Well, you're far from being a pray beard; and yet if you'd begun to save $5.00 a week as soon as you were able, by the year 1919, while you are still young and vigorous, your savings would be handing over to you the sum of $6.00 a week as long as you lived, even if you remained content to keep them in a bank which pays 4 per cent. What do you think of that?' 'I wish,' I replied, 'someone had made that per fectly clear to me in 1899 when I first began to earn money. I think I should have established a saving system for myself and stuck to it.' 'It is the slow start which discourages us. When we figure on a period as long as twenty years, we can y see the miracles which steady saving accomplishes, but in five years the result is not impressive.' 'Yet in our working life, we find that twenty years goes quicker than we had thought possible. Most of us you who read this and I who write it have more than twenty years ahead of us. Let's re solve to work out a system of regular saving for that period and stick to it.' " BUTLER BANKING COMPANY L. . Despite the frosts that have pre vailed in the valley during the past two necks, there in every indication that the uistrict will have the largest crop of ip,plcs ever harvested, and while the early blossoms of the straw leriics were nipped, Ut la inc; t lightly the marketing perod, ti e quantity f the crop will nut he diminished. The t erry vines are heavily loaded v. ith UiH, anil commercial quantities of the fruit will tie shipped by May lierry thipmcnts from the valley last yenr amounted to approximately tHI.'KH! crates. The Apple, (irowers Associa tion, however, this year expects to handle about 110,000 crates. Hut the crate this year will contain the regu lation full 24 pint boxes, and about .''.H H per cent less fruit tliBH tiie ree p tardea used on former seasons. The new package la more acceptable to the general trade and the fruit will have a wider distribution than ever before. Although all estimates have not been received t y the Association, it is con sidered that the strawberry acreage is larger this ear than on last. While a number of tracts have been plowed un- li r, many new tracts have been pet out. In case nothing interferes with the apple crop, a conservative estimate now places the1 apple crop fur Uub ear at at least 1,2. Ml. 000 boxes. If the estimates that are being received by the Association were to le taken as dcnlinite figures the crop uf lust eai'. approximately 700,000 l oses, might be tripled. While the late rains delayed the orchardists w ith their woi k to a cer tain extent, the most of the valley mucins ate in the beat of condition. Numerous places are being secdcd'iti clover, and on every hand one sees the result of the trtnd of the past two years toward diversified farming. For the tiist time Hood liiver is shipping cream to 1'ortlHiid. This out How, how ever, will cease s soon as the cream ery is in operation. Many local raneh eis are bringing eggs in daily, more than enough to supply the local de nmnd. J. K. Nuniimnker.who has the larfcest cherry orchard in the valley, htates that, while the fruit this yiar will le small and the quantity curtailed, the quality will be excellent. "The foliage is green und glossy," says Mr. Nuna maker, "and in mv opinion we are go ing to have the finest cherries one ever saw. winner biea states that the growers want to be careful in their estimates t f crop conditions. "Blossoms," says Mr tiicg, "never designate a crop. It is necessary to have proper pollenization tietore any claims can be made. Wat sonville has made the claim that the crop there would reach 4,000 cars. Hut the growers there are finding that every day material reductions must be made in their estimate a. Conservatism in eaily estimates are always warrant ed. "The Association is making every preparation to handle all the apples thnt the membeis can produce. We are nut going to pivc out statunei ts as to crop conditions of any kind. The mar ket outlook lor cherries and ears are very bright, and from indications, the valley will produce a fair output in both items. Mrawberncs, too, promise well. Hy increasing the shipping area through the introduction of the stand ard crate, we feel confident of a sue- cetslul season, lhe only known loss to occur so fur is in the prune crop. Cold rains have diminished this output seriously. " II. V. Davidson, who was in Yakima last Saturday, to attend a meeting of the Distributors, is in Spokane this week making preparations for handling the strawberry crop. The Association ollicials are pleased with the way in which the growers have been signing the new frop contracts. While there cent meetings in different sections of the valley have not been very hugely attended on account of the busy season with their ranches, practically all those growers in attendance have signed the contracts. "A great many calls have been made at the olliee," says Mr. Sieg. The oflicials hope to have the con tracts sufficiently signed by June 1 that the growers may hold a meeting and elect a board of directors. Formerly the directors were elected by the board of the Apple Growers Association. The Association under the method of reorganizations will have both a ton nage and membership representation making it necessary for measures to carry a majority of both tonnage and membership vote to be successful. i K i ted to the o!fiCe cf mayor of that ( city for three terms w ithout opposition.

Mr. Mason, who followed Mr. Kelly, devoted his time to explaining his lengthy platform. Dr. J. K. Andersen and t. H. Mranahan were rot present owing to other engagements. MRS. HANSON ENTER TAINS "DECADE" CLUB A very unique and most er.ioval le afterroon was given by Mrs. iimison at her home hist Thursday nfternoon. l he club members and the half dozer. invited guests were asked to a pear in some obi tirre costume ard live for a few hours in the atmosphere of their grandmothers. The ladie s w ere more than gracious in their response, and for the first time in the history of the club, which is ten jears old. there was not a regret. 'lhe house was decorated galore with old tie scarfs, tidies, kneits of ai v hind ribbons, vases of hnuiiets, that w mild put a cabbage head to shame for firm ness, and the old time work basket of patchwork was very much in evidence. lhe guests were invited to a e.t e o'clock tlini.er, so promptly at the hour the dining roe m doors were thrown open to the astonished gaze of the us sembled e-onpany. Old castors, pickle dishes, fruit holders, and old bite lishes together with Sill tie food "tout ensemble." From this "loaded" tnble w hs served chicken pie, mashed potato piled high on nn old blue plntter,"spnr-rowgrar-s," cottage cheese, preserves, pickles and black berry pie. After the dinner the guests at U mptcd to play whist, but ti e rules observed would have made "Hovle" green with envy. Mrs. Hanson was assisted by her sifter, Mrs. M. Z.

At the Monday night meeting of the city council, the city engineer, P. M. Morse, was instructed to make investi gations as to the needs of repairing the oil bound macadam laid last year. A petition was received from citizens living on the various streets, asking that repairs be made to save portions of the thoroughfarej from disintegra tion. The street committee, accortdng to a report from James Stranahan, chairman of the committee, who had received a communuication from En gineer Morse on the matter, had al ready investigated. It is thought that the sum cf approximately $,"(00 will be nee ded for the necessary repair. Ac cording to the recommer.datinna of Councilman Strar.ahar, the work will done by day work rather than by a contract. 'I he abatement of the beeg of W. W. Pakin on the Heights is still in abey ance. City Attorney Wilbur, to whom the matter was referred at the last meeting of the council last month, was not informed of the action, not having been present at the earlier part of the session of the city fathers, and he was unable Monday night to make any au thentic report on the removal of the lees. However, he stated that he was of the opinion that it wculd take an ac tion of court. 1 he council investigated the apiary of Mr. Dakin through Coun- cilmi n Ti.ft. The bees were considered a nuisance by them. Monday night a numbe r of the housewives of the vicin ity were present, teitifyng that the bees created no small disturbances at the time of canning fruit, and that the children of the neighborhood were often slung. Mr. Dukiu, as was announced iViondiiy night, states that it will cause him gresl loss to have the hives moved at tne pctent time. Membeis of the council, stated that they were not de sirous of forcing action that would cause hiiri monetary loss. V. U t.ioik was present at the meet ing, calling attention of the council to the needed improvement at the mouth of Uuod river to protect the sewer out let, lhe body had already taken the matter up inlormally, granting an ap propriation of $i00 tor the river work, lhe action was confirmed by the coun cil in session. Mr. lirock also urged that the coun cil take steps to enforce the ordinances requiring weeds to be cut on all Iota. of the cily. He also brought to the at tention of the council the need of more paiks for the town, and suggested that the property around the old city spring be turned to such use. "Ibis prop erty," stated Mr. lirock, "has on it a large number of forest trees and could be turned into a beauty spot for the people of the city to rest and loiter in." The council set aside May 2'i as clean up day, when the teams ol horses used by the city and its crew of men will be used in moving unsightly debris and giving the city a general cleaning T. ti. Chambers, street commissioner, was instructed to mow the parkings uf va cant property, collecting for sume, when possible. Hereafter, according to a resolution udupted Monday night, the cily will issue a semi-monthly payroll to its crews of laborers. It will not be nec csaary for the bids to be brought, be lute the council, but they will he ap proved by the finance committee, he iorder Howe has just completed a new payroll book, which is an addition of convenience to the records of his ullice. A resulution was adopted providing that the sum of $2 be paid to all mem bers ot the Hooel Kiver Volunteer tire department who attended a fire, where water was thrown. The firemen will also ho reimbursed for hospital or physician's bills as a result of any in jury received while fighting a tire. The city will pay cost of transportation of apparatus to and from conflagrations. CAVE-IN CAUSED IN TIIE CANNERY WALL Caused, it is thought, by the concrete not having thoroiujlily dried, a portion of the foundation wall of the Cloud Newton cannery caved in Inst Friday while workmen wire sluicing the sand and gravel bark into the holes dug to make rueiin for the base of the build ing. While the enve-in docs not en danger (lie remainder of the building, ami cim be repaired without demolish ing the whole wall, which had just been completed, it will cause consider able delay. The cannery building is being rushed to handle the season's strawberry crop. The break in the wall did not infer fere as badly as was first expected. J. K. Newton stHtes that it will be re paired without cause of material delay. The roof will be placed on the cannery building this week. MANY YOUNG MEN WOULD BE SOLDIERS Hood River has a large number of yourg men ready to join a cavalry troop, should it bo necessary to invade Mexico.

Jones Has Beautiful Berry Patch Loaded with bleissoms, one of the finest berry tracts to be seen in the valley is that of Harvey Jones, of the Hood Kiver Banking & Trust Co., on his Belmont ranch. The frosts have apparently caused the fruit no damage, and within a few days Mr. Jones will be harvesting ripe berries. A number of Mr. Jones' friends have recently journeyed to Belmont to view the berry field.
