Hood Rif cr Saturday afternoon tent
ill quota of bankers and rancher, to
Portland to hear the addreaa delivered
by Herbert Myrick on rural credits.
The following Hood River men were in
Pertland for the meeting: e. u.
Blanchar. Truman Butler. A.W. Stone,
C. Dethman and A. O. Moe.
If tbe sucseations of local bankers
are availing, Hood Kiver vauey rancn
era will apply immediately for a na
tional farm loan aaaociation under the
new federal "rural eretdte" law, as
discussed by Mr. Myrick.
"Mr. Mvrick's illustrations and ex-
nlanationa were simple and plain,"
taya E. 0. Blanchar. "Hia ideas that
local companies should be formed in
everv rural community are meritorious,
If there is any worm to me new diu
we should immediately test it and get
the benefit of it"
Truman Butler says: "I am glad
that I beard the discussion. It was
good thst so many local men could be
present. Tbe bill is probably the
greatest in constructive legislation
recently enacted by congress. All
counties and rural sections, it is grati
fvine to note, were well represented.'
"While nr. mvnck. according 10 nr.
Blanchar. "made no public statement
relative to the proposed Oregon Single
Tax amendment and rural credit bill,
he touched on tbe two proposed amend'
ments in private conversation with
President W. J. Kerr, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, and a party of
men following me iormai meeting,
Pres. Kerr is a good friend of Mr. My
rick and I asked him to get Mr. My
rick a views of tbe two bus. .
" 'I am mighty glad you mentioned
those.' said Mr. Mytick. '1 was fully
expecting to bear somebody ask about
them at tbe meeting, ana 1 wae loaaea
for questions, but since nobody brought
up the questions, as a matter of cour
tesy 1 did not think it proper for me to
appear to come here ana try to ten you
wnat to ao, at leaai wiinoui an invua
tion to do os.
" 'As for the single tax measure that
is coming up, I will say this: If that
bill is passed your state will get no
benefits from the federal law. An
effort is being made to pass a law that
the supreme court, in my opinion, will
hold unconstitutional. If the court does
dssb favorsbly on the law. then the
curity of those holding mortgages on
Oregon land is removed.
" 'You had better defer action on
your own proposed rural credit law un
til you bave tested out the government
bill. I would advise you to snow under
both of these proposed measures. You
can get from the federal law all the
benefits available under tbe state
law "
The following is a gist of tbe federal
bill:
A farm loan board of five members,
including Secretary of Treasury, ex
officio, appointed by President for 8'
veer terms at 110,000 a year.
Twelve federal land banks, minimum
capital $750,000, governed by farm loan
board, each managed by nine directors
serving three year terms, six to be
named by farm loan associations and
three by farm loan board. On its mort
gages a land bank may issue bonds in
amount from $50,000 up to 20 times its
capital and surplus.
National farm loan association.
formed by 10 or more farmers, when
they have 120,000 or more in loans ar
ranged, can borrow from the nearest
federal land bank, taking stock in the
bank equivalent to 6 per cent of the
loans obtained.
Joint stock land banks may be estab
lished by 10 or more persons with min
imum capital of $250,000, privately sub
scribed.
Loans can be made only on first mort
gages up to half the appraised value of
farm land and 20 per cent ol the value
of the permanent improvements there'
on. They can be used for four pur
Doses only :
To purchase a farm for a home. ' To
buy equipment, fertilizer or livestock.
f or buildings and improvements, lo
take up pre-existing loans made for
these purposes.
Kates are fixed by the farm loan
board but cannot exceed six per cent.
Terms may vary from five to 40 years,
but regular repayments annually or
semiannually are compulsory. Amounts
cannot be less than $100 nor more than
$10,000. Mortgages will be free from
taxation.
A borrower must take stock in the
loan association to the extent of 6 ner
cent of his loan and assume a liability
for double tbe amount ot bis stock.
Mrs. L. M. RICE

will be at the Mount Hood Annex,
Room Number 110, on Saturdays
from nine a. m. to four p. m., to

ent located.
Tom Do boon's recital her tomorrow
night at the Congregational cbureb
promises to be the moat important mu
sical event in tbe history of Hood Riv- i
ar. We have never before had an artist
here of such international standing as
Tom Dobaon. and it la simply due to
a fortunate circumstance that has
brought it about.
f rom present indications a truly rep
resentative Hood River audience will
be present and it ia a foregone conclu
sion that Dobaon will create aa great
furore here as he baa in Mew York and
Boston.
Tom Dobaon baa a style that suits all
classes of hearers ; a geniality of man
ner and-a personal magnetism that
completely wina hia audience from the
moment of his very Drat song. 1 nose
who were fortunate to hear him Infor
mally upon hia recent visit here have
been loudly singing his praises ever
since. It is tbe same result wherever
he goes.
"Tom Dobson is a treat from start
to finiab," aaid Wilmer Sieg, "I would
go a long ways to hear any recital he
gave."
Mr. Dobson's recital will be in five
parts. He Hill sing the following selections:
"Bois Epais," "Schweeterlein,"
"Lucia." "Long. Long Ago." "Mon
day, Tuesday," "Tbe Nine-Penny Fid-
11 " "... maa rh.l.t.n, nnna
"Phillis." "Trois Jours de Vendange."
"Knabe and Veilchen." "Die Heimat-
Glocken." "Margret Am Tore," "An
Answer," "Little riy," "The lireen
River." "The Highwaymen," "The
Odalisque," "Don't Care," "Yaemin,"
"When l Was Young and Twenty,
"Dry Be That Tear," "At tbe Edge of
the Sea." "Grafton Street," "West
land Row," "The Rivals," "Cargoes,"
"Seumss Beg," "Breakfast Time,"
"Treat Me Nice," "Improving Songs
for Anxious Children."
The recital will begin promptly at
8.30 o'clock. Late arrivals will be
seated only during intermissions. T
Upon his recent visit here Mr. Dob-
son sang several selections from light
opera successes of New York's past
season. These be ia to be requested to
repeat as encores, aa wen as a couple
of Finnish songs with haunting melo
dies, given him by Tolva Annalla.
Artillery Company is Commended
Hood River, Ore., August 21, 1916.
Editor Glacier: I am confident that
when the young men of our county
come to understand the situation thor
oughly they will enter into the activi
ties of the coast artillery company with
a real Hood River spirit. Just a few
days ago a neighbor boy aaked me
about tbe company, and I ureed him to
join. I would have enlisted myself if
sucn action on my part had been neces
sary to the success of tbe organization.
I went through a period of army dis
cipline in the good old days 20 years
ago in the Regulars, under an old Prus
sian drill sargeant, who had been in
tbe United Mates service for 20 years.
I will bave to live to be a lota older be
fore I forget that discipline.
The benefits of military training to
young men are too numerous to men
tion, although 1 would not advise every
young an to enlist in the regular army.
The soldier is given tbe privilege of
developing physical makeup. He has a
grace of movement that marks him in
a crowd. He baa a trained mind that
ia quick to act. Character and firmness
have been developed to a marked de
gree. Last, but not least, it is the duty of
a man, who lives under the protection
of a government, to enlist. The little
country of Switserland is an example
of what it means to be prepared. This
tiniest of nations could mobilise in 24
hours a million of fighting men.

Boy Leaps from Bridge, Injured
As a result of a 30 foot leap Monday
afternoon from tbe O.-W. R. & N.ateel
bridge crossing Hood river, Russell.the
11 year old son of Dr. E. L. Scobee, is
nursing a bruised hip, a badiy sprained
wrist and a lacerated scalp. The boy
with a companion, Harold Bailey, was
on the bridge when a freight train ap
proached. Bailey scampered to safety
Losing his presence of mind the Scobee
lad leaped. If his fall bad not been
broken by the shallow water hia Injur
ies might have been very serious or
even fatal.
The train was brought to a standstill
a abort diatance from the point from
which young Scobee jumped. Tbe boy,
unconscious, wss picked up and carried
to the baggsge room at the passenger
station. He soon regained conscious
ness, and bis father, notified, carried
him to his office.

The first sale of Yakima Jonathans
this season was reported last week by
Pat Mullina, who sold the crop of 3,000
boxes from his Selah ranch for 90
centa a box. Tbe sale includes extra
fancy and fancy. The price received
by Mullina is below offers for first cars
of Jonathans, which are in some cases
$1.50 for extra fancy. Shippers there
had expected the Jonathan market
to start generally at $1.25. Mullina
refused to give the name of the pur
chaser.
This community has in the past
shipped as high aa 150 cars of apples in
a season. Gradually, however, the
trees have been taken out because of
neglect and disease, says a dispatch
from Garfield, Wash. There are .re
maining but about 200 acres of bearing
apple orchards in addition to about tbe
same acreage of young trees four to
six years old that are not yet in bear
ing. This district grows apples with
out irrigation and when trees were
young tbe apples were of good sice and
quality, but gradually they have seen
less cultivation and less care with the
additional diseases that have found
their way here until today the old or
chards are almost worthless. Even
the young trees in this district have
been hurt by the planting every year
of some cereal crop between tbe trees
until there seems to be no fertility left
to give the trees tbe vigor they require
to crop and set properly.
The probable tonnage from this dis
trict this season will not exceed 40
cars apples, including what will be
shipped to the vinegar plant at Mos
cow, Ida. The tonnage last year was
12 cars. Last season the crop was so
scabby and apples so cheap that very
few orchards were picked at all. The
outlook this spring was for 100 cars,
but late frosts cut the tonnage as
given above. The Rome Beauty is the
leading apple here and comprises 50
per cent of the tonnage; Jonathans
next with about 25 per cent. The bal
ance in the order given are: Ben
Davis, Gano, Wealthy, Wolf River,
Wageners and Greenings, with very
few Baldwins.
The coming apple crop of the
United States will not be as heavy as
last year, when the final estimate of
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington was 76,670,000 barrels, one
which is generally regarded as fairly
accurate. Despite increased produc
tion in the Northwest and in western
New York, tbe country aa a whole will
produce considerably less fruit, so that
an output of 65,000.000 barrels is re
garded as fairly accurate. Thia may
be reduced owing to unfavorable
weather conditions during July and
August, which have caused heavy
dropping and the development of fun
gus and other diseases.
This condition leads to the belief
that the market this fall will be bur
dened with a lot of poor fruit if grow
ers do not exert extra precautions in
eliminating low grade barreled and
boxed apples. It wss tbe storing last
season of such a large quantity of fall
fruit which was marketing during the
winter months in competiton with win
ter fruit that resulted in such a disas
trous apple deal. Aa soon as the
early fruit waa out of the way and
winter fruit dominated the situation
improved and the end of the year
wound up more satisfactory than ex
pected. With the likelihood of a large
amount of poor fruit from all sections
growers should early recognise tbe
necessity of using culls, small and
poor apples in tbe cider mills, evap
orators and other outlets of this kind.
reserving only the better grades for
barreling purposes.
According to tbe reports of trade
publications, which1 last week simul
taneous with the New York meeting of
the International Apple Shippers con
vention published specialspple editions.
the yield of apples for 1916 win practi
cally be tbe same as forl915. Tbe crop.
bowever, will be somewhat differently
distributed, lhe east win nave a neav
ier crop, tbe central states a decrease
and far western statea a decrease.
Despite the fact that transportation
charges ara at a record high mark, the
outlook for exportationa of apples ia
said to be more promising than last
Rev. Thomas Brady, who conducted
a mission for St. Anthony s church.
Paikdale, from August 13-20, delivered
the sermon at St. Mary 'a church, Hood
River. Sunday evening. He left for
Portland the next evening.
A National Institution
" Why, sir, the Union may be preserved from dismember
meat by this proposed railroad" Joseph R,. Underwood in
the. United State's Senate, February 19, 1853.
"The road has been built through an Indian country with
all the tribes banded together and hostile." General G. Mm
Dodge in Congress, 1868.
pOR half a century
and more ever since
the first locomotive poked its
note weit of the Missouri River
--this railroad has worked con
tinuouily for the development
of the territory which it serves,
and for the improvement of
the property. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars are spent
every year in telling the people
of the East about the wonder
ful opportunities of the West.
Prosperous cities and towns,
thriving industries and fertile
farms mark fifty years of nota
ble progress. The Union Pa
cific System has led among
western railroads in keeping
its lines at the highest standard;
whether business is good or
bad, adequate provision is al
ways made for maintenance'of
the Boulevard of Steel which
links the East with the West.
The Union Pacific System has
also been first with practically
every device which makes for
security and comfort of travel
ers and for safety and expedi
tion in the passage of freight.
Success has justified this
policy of efficiency, but the
full measure of success has
been attained only by the con
fidenceand support of the
people who live in the Union
Pacific country, and to them
this advertisement is directed
in a spirit of grateful apprecia
tion. The Union Pacific Sys
tern is proud of its territory and
of the people who live in its
territory, and in turn is worthy
of the pride with which it is re
garded by the people it serves
as a great national institution.

The journey waa made without tbe
least mechanical trouble. En route
from here to Bend Mr. Perigo drove hia
light five passenger car (Maxwell),
traveling a average of 17 miles on a
gallon of gssoline.
J he Sherman and Crook county
roads," says Mr. Perigo, "are in fine
shape."
the local merchant, however, is not
so enthusiastic over the Wasco county
roads? He say that they are very
rough and that one can tell, by the
roads, the instant he drives into Wasco
county.
Mr. ferigo and family viaited How

Prohibitionists Hold Meeting
A meeting of Hood River countv
prohibitionists was held at the library
hall Thursday evening to plan for the
campaign in Hood River county to
combat the proposed effort to permit
tne manutacture or intoxicating liquor
in Oregon. Mrs. Ada Unruh, of Port
land, was present and addressed the
meeting. Committees will be named
to take charge of the county work.
CHURCHILL FAVORS
PENDLETON NORMAL
J. A. Churchill, state superintendent
of public instruction, is asking the
voters of the state to support the initi
ative measure on the ballot this fall
providing for the establishment of a
standard normal school at Pendleton.
The state superintendent's last report
shows that only 13 per cent of the
grade teachers of the state are normal
school graduates and he more than any
other one man, appreciates the need
for more competent instruction, partic
ularly in the rural schools.
"Oregon's greatest need for its rural
schools is the teacher who has had full
preparation to do her work," he aaid
in making public his endorsement of
the measure. "Such preparation can
best come through normal school train
ing. "I trust that the voters of the state
will assist in raising the standard of
our schools by establishing a state nor
mal school at Pendleton. The location
is central, the interest of the people of
Pendleton in education moBt excellent,
and the large number of pupils in the
public schools will give ample oppor
tunity to all students to get the amount
of teaching practice required in a
standard normal Bchool."

"Truth" Attacks Billy Sunday
Billy Sunday has never been so much
the center of conversation in Hood Riv
er as on last Saturday afternoon, when
a number of small boys distributed in
stores, banks, restaurants and tbe
offices of professional men copies of a
Portland publication called, "Truth."
The papers contained articles exposing
alleged plagarism of the evangelist
who is claimed to have "lifted" ad
dresses of the late Robert Ingeraoll,
and voicing a general protest against
methods of Rev. Sunday. I
The source of the distribution of the
literature, which aroused speculation
and caused general comment, some in
agreement with tbe paper's attack and
others denouncing "Truth," could not
be learned. The boys with the papers
said that they did not know the men
who had paid Utem to pass the publica
tions around. Not a rig in the city
was issued by tbe disseminatiors of
"Truth."
Masons Will Use Regular Train
Members of the local Masonic lodge,
who have accepted an invitation from
Washington lodge of Portland to parti
cipate in a picnic at Bonneville on La
bor Day, will travel by the regular
west bound train, which passes through
Hood River at 9.25.
It is expected that more than 50 Ma
sons and tbeit families will attend the
picnic.
