It takes a strong imagination to lielieve in some of the promises made
by some sellers of shoes. Things that you know are impossible are offered
as glibly as the most reasonable propositions. We are not selling shoes
for our health nor do we believe any one else is. ltut we know that our
prices are as low as honest qualities will permit.

CHERRY SHIPMENTS
50TO75 CRATES DAILY
From the Moeier Bulletin
Express shipment are being made
from the Hosier Fruit grower associa
tion at the rata of 60 to 75 erites each
day. Tba shipments are principally of
the Tartarian variety, and are being
hipped to pointa in Wyoming, Idaho
and Montana.
"The demand ia good and prices
which we are receiving are good."
stated Manager ChatHeld yesterday.
"The cherries are fine in site and many
compliment hava been made by buyers
concerning the good quality and pack."
The growers expect to commence
picking Koyal Annea for the cannery on
Monday. The association will com
mence shipping Bings Friday or Satur
day, and this variety will be followed
by the Black Republicans and Lamberts
the last of next week.
On Tuesday the association received
their new Fairbanks-Morse warehouse
scales. The maximum weight is 2500
pounds. The scales were inspected
Wednesday by the county scaler, of The
Dalles, and found to be true and accur
ate in every respect. A new door has
been cut in the south end of the ware
house in front of the scales, to enable
the growers to unload their fruit on
the scales with considerable more fa
cility than formerly.

During the course of the season local
jn-ople and their visitors, while on fish
ing excursions and when hunting in the
mountains, have many interesting ex
periences. The Glacier will be very glad
to have fishermen ami hunters give an
account of their experiences to this
column of the paper. If you hear a
story or a good joke, report it.
A story conies from the fair that
rivals the famous squirrel story of
Ernest Bloom in 1913, when a squirrel
stole up on him when asleep'out at
Scott's ranch, and ate up his hair. Last
Monday morning Kavlin found several
apples displaced, and bitten into, be
sides several others in the exhibit
which had been bitten. He looked all
around the Multicultural building to
find the miscreant, and hearing a noise
above the big apple, discovered a silver
gray squirrel running around the sup
porting beams. Sumomning assistance
they rounded Mr. Nut up into a corner
and clapped a box over him. Later it
was learned he had escaped from the
Oregon Game exhibit in the Oregon
building, several blocks away, over two
weeks previous. He had probably trav
eled all over the grounds before finding
what he was looking for a Hood River
apple. Although here was displayed
plenty of fruits in other booths, noth
ing was discovered to show that he
cared for any of them. But when he
reached the apple that beat them all,
he stopped and availed himself of the
privilege. Word was received later
that a Commercial club circular issued
in 1913 telling of the glories of the
Hood River valley, and a few of which
Ravlin had with him, had been found in
the squirrel cage at the Oregon build
ing. Last Sunday great excitement
reigned at Brae Croft, the home of
Alfred Cox. Miss Helen Cox and Miss
Etheljane McDonald started up the
flume to Ditch creek; but before going
they were informed that rattlesnakes
infested the woods, and that Milton
Smith, the ditch walker, had killed a
small one the previous evening. So
they armed themselves with sticks,
though they did not expect to encoun
ter a snake.
After walking a half mile and seeing
nothing more interesting than vast
areas of poiEon oak, they decided it
would have been better had they armed
themselves with peroxide to guard
against it rather than vs. the snake.
- Well suddenly they came upon a
huge rattler, coiled and hissing, within
four feet of them. No scream I They
calmly knocked the snake into the near
by flume to stun it, then lifting it out
on the bank they applied their sticks
most forcibly. The young ladies jubi
lantly returned with their prize, which
measured two feet, six and one-half
inches in length and four inches in
thickness. It had nine rattles and a
button.
At Twin Oaks farm west of the city
Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Blythe had a pet
turkey hen. The old lady turkey was
a mother and a grandmother. She was
10 years old and for the past six years
one of her spring duties has been to
hatch and rear a brood of little "peep
peeps." As on former years the old
turkey was recently set on a nest full
of speckled eggs. With her usual ma
ternal spirit she carefully guarded the
nest, listening for the first'pip" of
the little birds.
But now the Blythes are grieving
and the old turkey hen is gone a ma
rauding tramp, as is supposed, stole
turkey hen, nest, eggs and all. "I
suppose they made a meal of our old
pet," says Mr. Blythe. "But I am
sure that she was pretty tough eating."
Hark ! An honest fisherman is speak
ing." "Last week," says Oscar.Van
derbilt, "I drove 41 miles and fished
in all the best places up the Hood riv
er. I didnt' catch a fish. 1 didn't even
get a nibble."
Trouble is lurking on the heels of
fishermen who have been spearing
salmon as they pass over the falls at
the Devil's Punch Bowl. It is reported
that men, armed with long spears, line
each side of the falls and spear the
big fish as ff-st as they leap from the
eddying whirlpool below.
At their regular monthly meeting
last week the Hood River County Game
Protective Association endorsed the
appointment of W. O. Hadley, of The
Dalles, as deputy game warden for
Wasco and Hood River counties. The
local game organization members
voiced a strong protest against the re
appointment of L. S. Fritz, of The
Dalles, who formerly served in the ca
pacity of game warden.
William Stewart, Ralph Root, Dr. E.
D. Kanaga and C. C. Carpenter left
Tuesday for the Metoliua, where they
will spend the remainder of the week
fishing. This trip is an annual event
for these nimrods.
Mr. and Mrs. D. McDonald, accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Moe,
motored to the Toll bridge Sunday af
ternoon, where fishing was enjoyed.
Mr. McDonald caught the fish and Mr.
Moe enjoyed the sport.
C. B. Harper and Frank Davenport,
Jr., c.tught a number of nice trout
Sunday on Hood river.

AUTUMN STOCK
SHOW PROPOSED
A number of the orcfcardists of the
East Side, who have directed attention
for the past two years to stock raising,
are now making a campaign to secure
sentiment for a stock show here this
fall. Dozens of pure bred hires, both
swine and cattle, have been imported
in the past year. Many of the orch
ardists are breeding only registered an
imals, and it is probable that in no
community in the state are ranchers
psying as much attention to the qual
ity of cows and hogs as the Hood River
fruit growers.

APPLE NOTES
"The greatest apple orchard in
America," is the way the A. A. Mar
shall farm at Fitchburg, Mass., is de
scribed by those who have seen it.
The Marshall farm is just outside the
city of Fitchburg on the slopes of a
hill. About a half mile away on an
other hill is the state norma! school.
Bewteen the two is a valley and for
some distance away before one ap
proaches the farm can be seen the long
rows of apple trees set out in equal
distances apart, perfect lines on the
slopes of the hill running dmn into the
valley. And these trees were all of
one height apparently, and each was
covered with about the same number
of blossoms. The apple trees were not
the sort the fellow from the city haB
pictured in his mind's eye, large trees
with cows quietly chewing their cuds
beneath them, nor the sort the popular
song tells about. The Marshall trees
are small, of uniform height and com
pact, with the blossoms running down
the branches to within a few inches of
the trunk, not all on the tops and
Bides. They may not be as romantic as
the apple trees of one's fancy, but ap
ple growing or culture today, as one
may glean by talking with Mr. Mar
shall, is something more than romance.
The Marshall farm is something like
26 years old as a commercial farm
proposition. To show the work that
has been accomplished, not to mention
the getting of the soil, itself, in proper
conuition, more than 9,000 boulders
have been dislodged. At present there
are 4,500 Mcintosh Reds, 1,200 Bald
wins, BOO Wealthies and the rest" in
Sutton Beauties, Gravensteins and De
licious, 8,000 in all this coniprUes the
present complement of the Marshall
farm. The Marshalls sell their apples,
which are admittedly the last word in
apple culture, in boxes. The Mcintosh
Reds have won many prizes at exhibits
and fairs and are conceded to be incom
parable. A. A. Marshall is now in his seven
tieth year, and while he doesn't depre
cate all ideas of theorizing as advanced
by agricultural colleges, he believes
that experieuce, study and hard work
are what is mainly required of a man
who would make his apples, or any
fruit in fact, the best possible. Books
are all right in their places, he thinks,
but the orchard is the place to plan, to
dream and to work.
James M. Silcox had succeeded How
ard Fletcher as manager of the Grand
Junction, Colo., Fruit Growers' Associ
ation. The agency will market its fruit
through Ha own trade channels this
year, instead of affiliating with any
central selling agency.

Guignard Files on River
State Engineer Lewis last Saturday
issued a permit to August Guignard, of
Hood River, according to a dispatch,
foi the appropriation of 400 second feet
of water from Hood river for the de
velopment of 2273 horsepower at a cost
of $300,000. Power will be developed
at a point where the farmers' ditch
crosses Hood river, and the dam will
be so located as to eliminate the flume
of the ditch company above that point.
Water for the irrigation system will be
diverted over the dam.

the racking, tiring cough. Take this
splendid cough medicine with you on
summer trips. It is good for coughs,

Palmer Grows Fine Rye
No finer rye has ever been seen in
any community than that recently ex
hibited by John W. Palmer, of Mead
owbrook farm, at the Commercial club.
The straws, bearing long, well filled
heads of grain, were seven and eight
feet in length.
For an Impaired Appetite
To improve the appetite and strengthen
the digestion try a few doges of Cham
berlain's Tablets. Mr. .1. II. 8eitz ol
Detroit, Mich., says: "They restored
my appetite when iroRaiied, relieved
me of a bloated feeling and caused a
pleasant and satisfactory movement of
the bowels." For eale by all dealers.
FLETCHER PLACE A
MASS OF BLOOMS
A mas of blossoms, one of the pret
tiest sight in the valley, may be seen
now at the Oakdale greenhouses, the
East Side place cf Fletcher & Fletch
er. Thirty-five hundred assorted colora
of peonies are now at their best, and
thousands of rare rose plants are bear
ing exquisite buds and full Down blos
soms. The beauty of Oakdale is en
hanced, too, by hundreds of old fash
ioned flowers. The vivid color of the
gardens around the Fletcher borne ia
noted by every tourist that travels out
the Fast Side road.
The dahlias and gladiolii at Oakdale
will form a show this season. On ac
count of the European war the Holland
florisU.were unable as usual to dispose
of their rare bulbs in France and Eng
land. The wholesalers made low'ratea
to American growers, and Fletcher
Fletcher ordered 50.000 bulb from the
foreign houses. The shipment came
across the Atlantic and the United
States in vety quick time. The order
was sent on March 15. The bulb weie
shipped from Rotterdam on April 3.
It was expected that they would come
from New York by fast freight. How
ever, after examining them, agents
there shipped them by express, and
they arrived on April 25.
Six thousand of the recent and rare
varieties of dahlias will bloom at Oak
dale greenhouse grounds this fall.
Sundaj Will Preach at Parkdale
To the People of the Upper Valley :
On June 13 Rev. Wm. A. Sunday will
preach at Parkdale at 10.30 a. m. The
service will be held in the grove or in
Mclsaac's hall, depending on conditions.
I want to emphasize the importance
and significance of this occasion to
every resident and visitor in our valley.
The unparalleled results of Mr. Sun
day's work place him among the world
leaders of today. Like all leaders in
any department of life he is criticised
and opposed. The message he delivers,
like the Bible he uses as hi authority.
is not comforting to some people. '1 hese
will very naturally retaliate by criti
cism and ridicule. Others who agree
with the message find fault with the
methods of the work. But when the
lethargy of the church and the indiffer
ence of the world outside the church
are broken as they have been, is not
method a secondary consideration?
When I have given thousands of men
a new vision of life and its meaning
have led them to a faith that makes
new men of them have heard them
confess Christ as Savior and seen them
make Him King, then, perhaps, I
might ask Mr.Sunday to do his work in
a way to please me. Yet should 1 do it
then? "No man can do these thingB
except God be with him."
Let us make the service of next Sun
day a matter of prayer, during these
intervening days, and come together
prepared for the great blessing that
awaits us with the coming to our little
valley of this servant of His whom God
has so largely used.
W. L. Van Nuys.

Road Will Soon Be Open
A communication from a subscriber
at Cascade Locks, writing on the condi
tion of the portions of the Columbia
river highway which were considered
to be open previous to the expenditure
of the $75,000 bond issue, received re
cently reads as follows:
"An auto will find the road from Cas
cade Locks to Wyeth and to Lindsay
creek in fair condition, and no work is
being dune on this part now. On to
Willmms creek the road is in bad shape
in places. Williams creek bridge will
be completed by June 5, but cannot be
used for a few days after that time, as
it must dry out. When the drying is
over one can get through to Eagle
creek, upon which portion of the road
they are now rushing work."

ing nerve pains in the fin e, head, arm,

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
arom alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it.
