11 Saving builds character, and it is the one
habit that conveys convictions of purpose
and usefulness.
II Saving consistently followed is a fine
thing and it helps in many ways. When
you put money in the Bank, people put
faith in you because your judgment is bet
ter than those who don't. It teaches the
value of money and time, establishes cred
it, and is the soundest foundation for your
future. Begin with One dollar.

An Added Feature
A glance at the cards they are study
i ii K might lead one in these days of war
news tu think that the students at the
Apple Growers Association packirg
school were studying army tactics.
Hut the diagrams of the placards do
not represent the possible maneuvers
of battalliuns and army corps. The
charts show the methods of packing
apples. Men and women seeking in
struction in this wholesome ami remun
erative art have mobilized from all
parts of the Hood River valley. They
have come from rnderwood and White
Salmon, and the Willamette valley and
Portland art represenTed.
tine of the sections of the storage
house of the Apple Growers l.'nion
plant, temporarily a school room, has
presented a busy scene since Monday,
when the packing school opened for
registration. Apple laden packi' g
tablcB have been arranged conveniently
in the room, and around them are
grouped the boxes of the students. H
is an interesting sight to view the in
tent faces of the beginners, men, wo
men, hoys and girls. Instructors hover
about the working groups ready to
demons Irate the methods of placing the
fruit. A smile of satisfaction lights up
the face of a beginner. He haB finished
his first box of fruit and regards it
with pride. Hut the inspector comes
and deftly lifts an apple from the rows
of the pack, showing that a larger one
or perhaps a smaller one should have
been placed there. And so the work
continues.
The school is being attended by
growers, many of whom are not taking
the lessons in packing. They are at
tracted by the daily lectures on the
rules of grcding. An effort ia being
made to thoroughly instruct all inter
ested in the fruit industry in the grad
ing rules, which will be maintaind this
year strictly according to letter.

CARLOAD OF FRY
IS DISTRIBUTED
On last Saturday the State Game and
Fish Commission sent here for distri
bution 150.000 young trout fry. The
little fish were brought up from the
tionneyville hatchery aboard the dis
tributing car Rainbow, and were hauled
to the local streams by local ranchers
and business men. Automobiles and
wagons and teams met the train.
The distribution of the trout fry was
the first results of the meeting of local
sportsmen, who are looking to the or
ganization of a rod and gun club. A
great interest is being taken by the
sportsmen of the city and valley, who
declare that the new organization will
be maintained not only for the pleasure
of its members but for the purpose of
promoting campaigns to protect the
game and fish of the county, which are
considered a great asset to the com
munity. court Wmses
highway survey
According to plans of last week,
when the Upper Valley Good Roads
committee met with the county court,
a delegation of citizens of that district
met the court at the old Toll bridge
and proceeded with them over the
route of the proposed survey for a loop
highway to lead into "the Upper Valley
from the East Side and to pass down
from Parkdale to Dee and thence to
connect with the West Side macadam.
) The county court has assured the Up
per Valley citizens that they will order
a survey made for an Upper Valley
trunk line, but have asked that before
: action is taken that they be presented
I with a general petition from the citi-
zens of the Upper and Lower Valleys.
The road inspection party from Hood
River was as follows: Truman Butler,
Murray Kay. J. O. Hannum, Ed
Hawkes, L. E. Kellogg, R.K. Marquis,
L. Silverstein and K. J. Marquis. Mr.
Silverstein was here from Portland vis
iting Judge Stanton.
They were met by Chas. Steinhauser,
Geo. Monroe, J. R. Barroll, Jr., W. C.
Smullin, A. R. Nickels and Ralph
Root.
Lunch was prepared for the party at
the ranch home of Mr. and Mrs. J. F.
Candee. "I have never enjoyed bet
ter meal in my life," says Judge Stan,
ton. "Mr. Hannum. our Upper Valley
commissioner, has often told me of the
good things they have to eat in that
distr ct. His stories of the feasts that
have been provided were not in the
least exaggerated. Twelve of usi sat
down at the meal and the 'thirteenth

VINEGAR CO. ADDS
AN EVAPORATOR
1,000 POINDS THE DAILY CAPACITY
Plant Will Handle the taul Tonnage of
Matured Apples-Fruit Will Be
Received September 15
For the past several weeks, indeed,
since the European war burst suddenly
upon the world, those Ion ted in the
fruit districta uave beard urged the
need of evaporators, and a bit of news
that, will be of the utmost importance
to local growers this week is the an
nouncement of the Hood River Apple
Vinegar Co. that an evaporator will be
constructed to hanule about 1,000 tena
of the It cat fruit this season. Charles
J. Calkins, manager of the viregar
factory, says the new plant wi.l be
composed of two kilns, which will han
dle about 1,000 pounds of fruit per
day.
A lot just south of the vinegar fac
tory on the opposite side of Railroad
street, has been purchased, and the
new plant will be located there. The
lot is 85x UK) feet, and is large enough
for the construction of more than 20
kilns.
"A'e expect to enlarge the evaporat
ing business just as we have done the
vinegar end of our plant," said Mr.
Calkins, "and if we find markets and
meet with cooperation from tue grow
ers, we, in a few years, can handle
more than 20,00.) tons of fruit with the
evaporator."
The addition of the evaporator at tha
vinegar plant will increase the em
ployes of the company to a number of
eight or ten. The apples will be pared
on the second floor ot the vinegar plant
and will be taken to the kilns by an
overhead trussed runway.
Rumors have been current in the val
ley to trie effect that the vinegar plant
would not operate. "These are abso
lutely erroneous," aaya Mr. Calkins.
"Last year we used about 2,200 tona of
fruit in the manufacture of vinegar.
We expect to use the same amount this
year. We shall be ready to receive
mature apples by September 15.
"We have made every effort to work
for the interest of the groweri, at the
same time advancing our own interests.
We expect to continue thia policy and
hope, with the aid ot the growers, to
bring the new industry to as sccessful
a point as has been developed in the
manufacture of vingar."
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Prof. Gibson opened the doors and
put out the "welcome" door-mata at
tha high school last Monday morning.
The assembly room was so crowded
by students wishing to engage in tha
pursuit of knowledge that it was neces
sary to put chairs in the library to ac
commodate all. N. E. Fertig, n.jnual
training teacher, opened for business
at the high school annex, formerly the
Dark carpenter shop, which is now,
with the added equipment, a first-class
manual training department. Prof.
J. W. Crites has been fitted out with a
recitation room and laboratory in the
old manual training room in the base
ment. Gladys Reavla, '12, of last season'i
Whitman College Girls' Glee Club, was
at the high school Monday morning by
special request and sang aa part of tha
program.
Nine of the would-be teachers in the
1914 pedegogy class secured schools.
The other six could have had schools.
Gertrude Stanton and Nell Tollman will
teach near Condon, Ore. Florence
Brosius, Leita Bowerman and Irene
Williams have schools in the Willam
ette valley. Gertrude Nickelsen will
preside over an emporium of learning
near Dufur. Delia Smith, Elsie Moore
and Ella Oxborrow will teach in Gil
liam, Wasco and Crook couaties respec
tively. The latter pedagogue, Ella Ox
borrow, took the teachers' training
course while a junior last year and
when it was found necessary for her to
graduate before she could obtain a
teacher's certificate, she studied during
the summer and got her high school
diploma. There are ten signed up for
pedagogy so far this year.
An incomplete list of those of last
year's graduating class who will go to
college is aa follows: Olive Richards,
Nell Blowers, Frances E. Baker and
Elizabeth Carson to U. of O. at Eu
gene; Marion Howe and Esther Hus
bands, O. A. C. at Corvallis; Allen and
Ruth Harris, Pacific University, For
est Grove, Ore. ; and Thurston Lara
wav will attend business college at
Portland.
Conrad Jacobsen, '12, left Tuesday
for University of Washington at Seat
tle, where he will enroll the coming
year.
The total number of pupils enrolled
in the city schools is 610. The enroll
ment in the grade schools of the city
is 440 and in the high school 170. The
enrollment at the high school will
probably total 200 before the end of
September.
A calamity befell the senior class of
H. R. H. S. last Tuesday when four
prominent male members of that class
who have come up all the way from the
freshman class with them were' re
quested to remove to the junior room
because they lacked so mnay credits
that they wuold be unable to graduate
this year.
The 11. R. H. S. 1915 foot ball team
will start prscticing tomorow night
after school. Capt, Frederick Coshow,
of last yesr's team, will captain the
team until the student body election.
Five of last season's team still remain
in school. The o'd timers are Capt.
Coshow, George Bragg, Rud Imhols
Julius Jacobsen and Donald Cochran.
An incomplete list of contestants out
for the teams are Hasbrouck, Von der
A he. Porter, O. Jones, Cooper, Lofts,
Blackman, Button, Lancaster and Ber
ry. Herr Fritz wants enough hopefuls '
out to game up two teams. The team
i this year will have return games with
the Hill Military Academy, and Colum
bia University teams of Portland and
wil probably have ia series of games
with Gronewall's pets of The Dalles.
The D. H. S. team was fighting their
faculty during football season last year
and the local teaia could not arrange
gamee with them.
