This fruit, according to Mr. Schmick, who is endeavoring to get a carload, or more, will be sold to high class trade in eastern cities. Kwiklight flashlight; E. A. Franz Co. COOPER UNION SUITS $1.00 to $4.00 II. F. RAPS AUCTION'S Because of the chostic conditions that he says have been produced by the operations of applusellers who consign their product or who dispose of it at auction. II. F. Davidson will make a strong appeal for aid to the North western Fruit Growers i ouncii, of which W. 11. Paulhamus is the execu tive head. Writing to his association from New York, where he has opened offices, Mr. Davidson says : "The Northwestern Growers Council chould include every fruit grower in the four states of Oregon, V ashington, Idaho and Montana. The first hard work to be done by the organization will be that of stopping the prevailing foolhardy methods of marketing. The grower or shipper who foolishly ships his fruit on a small advance or without any advance from eastern commission houses or auction firms, with no person al representative on the ground to pro tect his interests, is not only in line for bankruptcy himself, but is making it impossible for his neighbors to exist as fruit growers. Unless this matter is taken seriously by growers, merchants, hankers and everhody interested in or depending on the fruit business and unless credits are given or witheld in accordance with the policy employed by the various shippers, the fruit in dustry of the northwest is certainly in a bad way. "The apple marketing season is yet young, but most serious conditions are developing, which, if not promptly cor rected, will send the boxed apple in dustry to the bow wows. "Last year the crop was enormous and there was a scramblijfor an outlet. A fair excuse could be found for chaot ic conditions. This year the crop ia short, and statistics show that the lim ited supply is fading away in almost every state, and there is no excuse for the foolish methods being employed by the many shippers. Let the Growers Council take a strong hand in this mat ter and get the industry on a proper basis." Mr. Davidson says there are essen tially three different methods of hand ling boxed apples. He heads the list with the f. o. b. method, where the fruit is bought at a dctinitejjprice at the point of shipment, the buyer sell ing the fruit himself and making his own profit and loss. Next he gives the open consignment, where frequently a small advance is made. Ihe third method he designates as consignments to operators, who have no ability or facilities of their own and who throw the fruit on the auctions, where it is sold at buyers' prices. "In ths third case, says Mr. David son, "there is no stability of price, a single lot of fruit varying as much as tl per box, showing the whims of the buyers. The grower, however, suffers accordingly. ' The criticisms or the auction do not apply as forcibly in the case of the more perishable fruits, such a plums, pears and grapes as in the case of ap ples. The latter can be kept for weeks and months, where the former go into consumption quickly, and each day's market is unto itself. 'If a suggestion were made by me to oarrel men that they sell their fruit at auction, he would be considered a fit subject for the insane asylum. The barrel men will not stand for any such nonsense. The feeling, however, pre vails that box apple men will stand for any novel method that will guarantee them harvesting cost. Library News With the fall months renewed activity comes to the library. Last month there was a marked increase in the circula tion and also in the amount of refer ence work done. Miss Ethel Goudy, who was elected at the last meeting of the library board aa assistant to the librarian, arrived Tuesday. Miss Goudy spent the last year in training at the school conducted by the Portland Library Association. The first of the week some of the new books will be ready for the shelves.

Bell, bishop of the Pacific coast district of the United Brethren church, will speak at Grace church Fri day evening, October 2H, on the sub ject, "Social Progress."

All juniors and seniors of the school ate required to appear twice each year in literary. For the part several years the society has had good attendance, roth from the stu dents and from the townspeople. And at every meeting there is talent dis played that is weil worth while seeing. There is no admission charged, so a person always gets his money's worth. The society will meet, for the first time this term, this evening at the high school. The program lor the evening will be an instrumental duet hy Mary Sifion srd Margaret Morrison; the president, Mies Dorcas DeWitt, will then give an address; address, "Public School vs. Private School," Henry Haas; address, "History of Submar ines."

For they really beat Stev enson, 140. Now it was a different Stevenson that played Friday from the one that lost to us 190 two weeks ago. They had been getting in some real hard practice and their line was almost indomitable. Hood River won by trick plays and good headwork. Tomorrow the high school plays Camas high on our own grounds. Now Camas has a bad reputation. They have beaten everything they have run up against so far. So this game should he belter than the former games this season. The people of Hood River should come out more to these games. It; is well worth your while. Take an inter est in what the coming generation is doing. For the students certainly ap preciate it. And then, too, the Fresh men. You have not been coming out enough to the athletic contests. Not even for the class games, which cost nothing. You should take a greater interest in the school. In time the class of 1919 will be seniors and then, if they haven't been through the mill, Hood River high school will begin to depreciate. The sophomore class held a candy sale last week, and if there had been more candv to Ml greater would have been the pMt(a therefrom. Aa it was they netted only about $3.60. A very strange thing has happened at the high school this year. Usually the boys have fun by wearing their class colors, while the hoys of the oth er classes try to relieve them of their decorations. However, this year the boys have paid no attention to that, while the girls have. It has been an unwritten law among the girls that no frosh girl shall be allowed to walk as far as across the Bchoul yard with the frosh colors, green and white, on. And for the past few weeks it has been woe unto the freshman girl who displays any nerve. The Parent-Teacher Association will meet next Thurdeay evening, October 28.

CRAM A AT THE GEM Scene Showing Blanche SKOOKUM SOLD TO STEINIIARDT & KELLY The Fruit Growers' Exchange has sold 2,500 boxes of its "Skookmn" brand to Steinhardt & Kelly, New York handlers of northwest box fruit. The Bale was made by the Northwest ern F'ruit Exchange, with which the local agency iB affiliated. It is includ ed in one of the largest f. o. b. sales reported this season, the Exchange having sold its entire "Skookum" pack from all its affiliated district associa tions to the one New York firm. While the total tonnage and the price per,box is not made public, the net returns, it is stated, will be more than 130,000. "The Skookum brand, says Ken neth McKay, "is the cream of the ex tra fancies of the commercial varieties. Our limited supply of this grade, but 2,500 boxes, shows the proportion of extra fancy fruit is very scarce in the northwest. Church Launches Forward Movement "The Forward Movement" was launched by ministers of The Dalles district of the Methodist church in ses sion here yesterday and last night. The meeting, attended by ministers and laymen from this county and Wasco, set as a goal the following increase in the district for the coming year: Mem bership, 300; enrollment, in the lime Legion, 750; and 10 young people whose life work shall be dedicated to the church. Pear Bears Ripe Fruit and Blooms A pear tree on the ranch'of N. C. Evans on the West Side, ia loaded with mature ftuit, little green pears and a profusion of blossoms. The tree is of the d'Anjou variety. During the early summer the tree had but little water. It is thought that irrigation later in the season caused the sap to rise and produce the late green fruit and blossoms. Franz-Howe On Monday, October 4, the wedding of H. A.
