The QobJUL Store WHAT would you think of a person who would plant some seed in the ground and then go out and dig the seed up every day to see if it had sprouted? We know that you would think that he wag very light in the head and ought to have a guardian appointed. Yet that is about the way some people do, who start a bank accoui.t. They put the money in the bank but the balance never grows because it is checked out as fast as deposited. In order to get ahead and se cure enough funds to make a profitable investment, the deposit should be left alone to grow, like the seed in the ground. Hood River State Bank Eyes Right?

Be sure to say SEAL BRAND. Star Grocery "Good Thinga to Eat" Perigo & Son The Taroma conference of the dele gates from the different northwestern apple districts has lasted longer than anticipated. Hood River men" are prominent in the deliberations 01 tne meeting. W. W. Rodwell was made secretary of the conference. Oscar Vanderlult was elected chairman or the Hood River delegation. All the dis trict delegations organized and elected their chairmen. Mr. Vanderbilt has also been selected as Hood River's choice on the growers' council of 10 who will have supervision of the coun cil of three, the members of which will probably be W. H. I'aulhamus. of Puy allup.Truman Butler and someone from Wenatehee. A delay in the actions of the growers was caused by the quibbling of Wenat ehee delegates, who were unable to agree among themselves and refused to go on record. These facta were taken frem a letter to the Glacier from A. D. Moe. in a communication Monday Mr. Moe stated that the meeting opened with an earn est desire on the part of all to get to gether on some effective basis. "There is a more harmonious leeltng than ex isted at the Seattle meeting," he stated. The delegates were entertained at a banquet by the Commercial club Mon day evening. I he following resolution was auopieu by the shippers present at the confer ence: "Resolved, That we favor the form ing of a shippers' organization to which all shippers of the four north west states be invited to affiliate and which shall meet from time to time, if so ordered, in consultation with the growers' council or their authorized representatives. ' Resolved, that we favor r. o. o. rates as the only safe method and that the matter of denning such method be referred to their proposed organiza tion." The resolution was adopted unani mously at a meeting of the following shippers: North Pacific Fruit Distrib utors, Yakima Horticultural union, Northwestern r Vr Exchange, Fergu son, North Yakima, C. J. Stinsel, of Idaho, D. Grossby & Sons, of New York and London and Richie & Gilbert, Yakima. The following report of the meeting was made in Tuesday night'a Portland Journal : That the fruit growers' convention, now in session be made a permanent organization; that growers' council, consisting of 10 members, one from each of the fruit crowing districts, be elected by the convention, and that the council elect an executive committee of three of its members to take person al charge of the work to be done, were t'ie chief points in the report of the committee which has been drawing up a plan ol organization lor me conven tion. The report was made today, after the committees had been in session al most continuously since Monday noon. Piscussion on the report was postponed until the afternoon session. ! Other suggestions embodied in the renort were that the council bo author' ized to enter into an agreement with the shippers to make the organization a success, that growers aecune to snip fruit to agencies not abiding by the rules of the organization, that the practice of selling fruit at auction be discontinued and that a standard sy tern of packing be adopted. Also that any grower or shipper accussed of cut ting prices be obliged to submit to an nvestigation. Funds necessary to carry on the or ganization are to be raised, according to the committee's reommendatiorf, by putting a tax of one fourth of a cent a box on apples and pears, one fourth of a cent a crate on strawberries and one sixth of a cent a package on other small fruits. The plan also calls fur an executive secretary and the estab ishment ol a central omce. Skirmishing, preliminary to the fight that will come when the adoption of the report is brought up, took place immediately following its introduction, It is doubtful if the plan will be ac cepted by the delegates, at least in its present form. That a bitter fight against ita adop tion will be made is certain. The Yakima delegation, for instance, is al most evenly divided on the Question Xha Wenatehee growers are expected to lead the fight against the plan. The fiVv ,fiC,Tuistricis are oenevea to oe gen .I'lUlMn favor of it. CUTLER BROS. BUY ARMORY BUILDING The old Armory building on Cascade avenue will soon become the home of a factory. Cutler Bros, last week pur chased the property, of E. W. Dark, who has been operating a carpenter shon there. "We will continue to conduct the carpenter shop," says Asa B. Cutler, "and very soon we will begin the man ufacture of our sizing and grading ma chine there. Cutler Bros.' machine, which was in vented in 1912 and which was offered tc the growers with numerous improve ments last season, have proven to oe very popular with fruit growers in all Beef ions. 'the UDtter story of the old Armory haa long been used by the students of the high school for their basket ball games. lowing a justice court trial before Judge Buck, when Mr. Newport was assessed the maximum fine of $f0 on a charge of assault and battery on the person of Mr. Elliott, the state engin eer in charge of the highway work. According to the facts at the justice liial. Engineer Elliott had approached a crew of men working under Mr. Newport in excavating beside cliff and had told the latter that he should call off his men, as he considered the work dangerous to them. Mr. Newport became angry and told the engineer that he had taken enough of his but ting in. The engineer replied that if that was considered taking something he would have to take a good deal more, since he was placed in charge of the work to see that it was done prop erly. Whereupon Newport threw oil his coat and struck Elliott in the face, knocking him down, hi face in a pile of rockB. Ho then jumped on the fallen man. The engineer'a nose was broken and he was badly bruised. Mr. (joovert stated that the sum of $10,000 was asked for, since the case was such as to call for punitive dam ages, hut that the plaintiff was never awarded more than he asked fur. LOCAL GROWERS GO TOJACOMA NINE DELEGATES ELECTED FRIDAY L A. HERMAN BUYS FINE POLAND CHINAS L. A. Herman, of the Pine Grove district last week received two very tine Poland China sows purchased from Thomas W. Brunk, of Salem. The northwest has no finer animate than these. Mr. Brunk, whose place is near Salem, has been a breeder of awine for the past 26 years. He haa been one of the best recognized judges at north western stock shows for the past 18 years. "As proof of the fact that 1 have two of the best sows in the north west," Mr. Herman aaya, "1 offer a part of their pedigrees and a brief history. ihtir grand dam, Moss Rose 370894. was winner of first prize senior and grand champion alto, was in the first prize herd at the Oregon state fair 1910; she is the dam of Moss K. biiky, 4th, the sow that won first prize, sen ior and grand champion, bIbo waa in first prize herd at the Oregon state fair in 1913. This sow is tho dam of Bessie Sweet. The latter won similar honors at the same fair, 1914, winning by a narrow margin over her litter sis ter, Bessie Love. The last two men tioned are the sows 1 have purchased for my foundation stock, believing that the best are none too good for this purpose."

SPAULDINC HOME BURNS SUNDAY NIGHT The home of Mr. and Mrs. Earle M Snaulding on Sherman avenue waa de stroved by lire about 8 o'clock Sunday niffht. No one was at home wnen ine lire, the cause of which is unknown started. The (lames seemed to have originated in the ceiling, and it thought a defective tine may nave started the flames. Mr. and Mrs Spauld'ng lost all of their household goods. The loss ia partly covered oy insurance. But for the quick work of the Volun teer lire department the adjoining home of Mrs. Gay Yowell would have been destroyed. The sides of the building were charred, and it seemed for a time as though it would be im noHH h e to save t. All ol the iurni tore of Mrs. Yowell was removed from her home. ' GROUNDHOG DISCRED ITED IN HOOD RIVER Hood River people have never had greater surprise than on Tuesday morn mir when on looking out or ineir win dowa in the early morning they beheld about three inches of snow, un Mon dav night the sky was studded with myriads of stars and everyone, alter the two weeks of unexcelled pleasan weather, was beginning to have faith in the ground hog as a prognosticator, Tuesday's snow, however, was wel corned by ranchers, especially straw berry growers. ' "We are glad to see it, saiu tieo, Sarsent. "The strawberries were be ginning to grow too rapidly. The snowfall will check them." With too much sap in them and a too hasty growth, the strawberries might be se nous v damaged later on oy a laie frost. H. R. NEWPORT FACES HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT 11. R. Newport, of the Newport Land & Construction Co., which haa tne con tract for building the Columbia high way through Hood River county, ia the defendant in a personal damage suit brought for J. A. Elliott through hia attorney. E. E. Coovert, of Portland, last Saturday. The complaint of the civil action was filed immediately fol Albany Will Have Market Day Albany will bold mi ? . - 1 J l mi is io ue uuiib On February 27 oeneral sales day. for the purpose of bringing the farmer and the merchant closer together along business lines. There will be an auc tion of farm produce and stock, con ducted without expense to the farmer, the Albany Commercial club making all arrancementa and a well know auctioneer donating his services. Local stores will stage special salea for that day, and if the echeme proves success ful, it will become a regular event. It ia a good plan and should be followed by other cities. Although Growers in Mass Meeting Adopt Resolution, Local Delegates Attend Conference Unhampered Quibbling waa noticeably lacking at ' the fruit growers' meeting held at the Commercial club last Friday afternoon. As soon as Truman Butler, chairman, had called the meeting to order the orcbardists at once got down to busi ness. W. W. Rodwell was elected sec retary. E. H. Sheppard, a member of the organization committee, explained purposes of the meeting, that it had been called for the election of del egatea to the conference held at Taeo- Monday. Mr. Shepard explained that it waa at first decided that the ood River district should have 10 del egates, three at large and seven others on a tonnage baBis. The organisation committee, however, had gone over the situation and had decided to recom mend that the Apple Growera Asaocia- ation, the Fruit Growers Exchange, the Apple & Storage Co., the districts of Wasco county Moaier, The Dalles and Dufur the White Salmon-Under wood district and independent shippers hould each have a delegate. Thtougb r. Sheppard the organization commit tee announced that the following nom inations had been made by and for the respective shipping interests: C. H. Sproat, independent shippers; E. E. Stanton, Fruit Growera Exchange, and C. A. Macrum, Wasco county. It was asked that the mass meeting ratify their selction. This was done by unan imous vote. Mr. Shepard atated that the Association, since - majority of thuse present at the mass meeting would be members of the organization. did.not ask for a special delegate. It as also atated that the Apple A Stor age uo. bad decided not to send a oeie ate to lacoma, but that it was prob- ble that a repreaentative would be there. Mr. Sheppard stated that although a versify of interest had been repre sented in the organisation committee, composed of Dr. Macrum, E. W. Sweaney, Mr. Shepard himself, A. v. Moe, O. B. Nye, W. W. Kodwell and Oscar Vanderbilt, every matter - waa acted on unanimously. The growers voted to allow the Un- derwood-White Salmon growera elect heir delegate at a meeting held Satur day. No aooner had these elections been maue than nominationa for the six gen eral delegates for Hood River were ade. Dr. J. D. Guttery. cf the East Side, placed in nomination the name of r. Uvaidaon, stating that air. Dav idson waa owner of one of the valley a rgest orchards and that on account of hia experience in marketing, would make a valuable man on the board of ielcgatea from Hood River. Mr. Dav- idsun'a nomination immediately brought on a discussion as to hia eligibility, it being stated that In one of the calla for n earlier meeting the fact that a dele gate was a salaried employe of any as sociation would disqualify him aa a delegate. J. L. Carter atated that he thought the mass meeting of growers should be llowed to pass as to the eligibility or their delegates. He recommended Mr. Davidson as a delegate and nominated W. Stone, the name of Uacar van derbilt was then placed in nomination. when J. K. f orden made the motion that all of the members of the organis ation committee, not already nomin ated, be placed in nomination. Since the members of this committee had familiarized themselves with the prob lems at hand, it waa consideredjwise to have them serve as delegates. . J. C. Porter, J. H. Jeffrey and Dr. Stanton Allen were then nominated. he latter two, however, asked to have their names withdrawn. The result of the balloting showed the following elections: 1 E. H. Shepard, H. F. Davidson, W. W 'Rowdell, J. C. Porter, Oscar Van derbilt and A. W. Stone. However, after a conference of the committeemen later on, the mistake of having elected Mr. Davidson and Mr. Stone as delegates waa but too appar ent, and for fear that if an attempt were made to seat them the whole movement would be jeopardized, both resigned without a moment 'a hesita tion, and A. D. Moe and O. B. Nye were made membera of the board of deelgates. Hood River's delegatei attended the Tacoma meeting uninstructed. While resolution was adopted declaring that it be the sense of the meeting that the proposed growers council should be composed of five members, one each from the districts of Uregon, Idaho and Montana, and two from Washington, it waa further declared that no instruc tions ahould be binding on. the delegates. E. 11. Shepard in explaining the res olution, which was offered by the or ganization committee, atated that it was considered Best mat ma rnemoera of the board of control be thua select ed. "It seems to be best," said Mr. Shepard, "that the districts themselves be allowed to select their representa tives, and this be not done at Tacoma next Monday. After the board is se lected, thev should then get together and elect their manager." The resolution provided that the of fice of the board of control be lda;ed in some centrally located city, but not the home city of any selling agency. Mr. Shepard suggested Walla Walla, Wash., as admirably located for the location of the office of the board. The question of paying the expenses of delegates waa brought up. Ross E. Miller and M. k. lucaer inougni tne Apple Growera Association ahould pay the expenses. But this waa frowned on by others, since other organizations had delegates. it was finally decided that the Asso ciation and Fruit Growers Exchange should pay the delegates sent by there. This was acquiesced to by the members of the boards of the two concerns, it being understood that the expenses of each man should not exceed $20. Apple Exports The apple exports of the week end ing laat Saturday were 42.829 barrels against 48,531 barrela the same week a year ago. The total number of barrela shipped so far thia season are 1,993,047 against 1.590,617 for the same period last year. f
