We think a dual government, if plena ran be properly worked out, will be of great benefit to Bood River county and the eity of Hood River. Despite breaches that have existed between city'and rural factions.tbe interests of the city and county are identical. We see no reason why one set of officers could not administer the affairs of both and thus work a great saving to the two municipal corporations. Hood River county ia small and compact and the system should prove juet as sue ceaeful here aa in the city and county of San Francisco, Calif., the affairs of which are administered under a dual government. It has been insinuated tbat tbe Gla cier, since it was so strongly opposed not so very long ago to tbe City of Utility, a scheme that met with each an overwhelming defeat at the bands of the voters, is inconsistent in foster ing the present movement. But such ia not tbe case. Those proposing the City of Utility would have trebled the expenses of the Hood River valley by establishing three heads of govern ments. Tbe City of Utility had gone no further than the dream stage. Those who voted for the City of Utility would have saddled themselves witb something entirely visionary. The pro' posed combining of the city and county -of Hood River must be worked out to something practical. We wish to say tbat . as yet we have endorsed no ulti mate plans, but we do think tbat the euggestion is worthy of consideration and an effort toward practical solution. HIGH SCHOOL SAVING SYSTEM . The authorities and facuitiea of the Hood River high schools and local banks are to be commended for the new systems establisbed for the teaching of thrift to school children. The fact that so many children of a certain school have saved a total of a large amount over a given time may be intereating, but thia of iteelf may not be of any groat benefit. We will see the bene ficial results a score of years from now. when the tots that are now the proud possessors of system banks have be come men and women of the commun ity, that is, unless the savings system runs a spasmodic course and is allowed to die for lack of interest. If children are taught to realize the value of money from the time they reach the age of understanding, it will be one of the most valuable lessons they have ever learned. Nor does thrift mean stinginess. Nor ia it the mere ability to save. The human being that, has the attributes of thriftinees is not prodigal. He looks ahead. And if the school savings system, ae adopted, is maintained with the proper accompaniment of instructions from teachers, students will have acquired a habit that will be mighty handy From childhood on through life they will be "savers." After one haa be come accustomed to other modes of life, the habit of saving cannot be acquired any too easily. You may say. "Oh well, I'll begin tomorrow, or some other specified time in the future to lay aside something." That kind of saving never puts any balance in the savings departments of banks. Other habits have become too strong. The drunk ard, you kr.ow, is always just getting ready to swear off. He never does it. A CHURCH RECORD The following is clipped from the current issue of tbe Ladies Home Jour nal : Here is a record tbat church may well point to with pride. It was sent to me by the pastor of the West Pres bj tetisn church, of St. Louis, the Rev erend rrancis w. Kossell, D. D. : "In the more than 25 years' history or mis cnurco we nave never given an entertainment or a euppt t ' for money, nor nave we ever permitted such thing as a fair or a bazaar. This church believes in the consecration of money as an act of worship just as much as it believes in any other service ior tne Lord." Could any financial record of a church be saner, or its belief better ei pressed? uere in nve lines is the uoiden Rule. financially speaking, for the American church. The Home Journal editor has thus briefly presented a condition that is burden to nearly every community of the United States. We wonder if re ligion is ever strengthened or the treasury of churches really fattend ' by ton f req'ient bataars, suppers or enter tainments. A few zealoua members, usually womeo, work themselves into a state of utter fatigue. A slight profit may be gained from tbe purses of the genersl puhlie, but the oft-recurring tenant event, although it may not arouse a publicly expressed utterance of resentment, throws a damper en en thusiasm. In the end it will be found that tha money that is raisedthat ia, taking as an example the average church money raising sv set comes from tbe pockets of families directly interested. Would it not be better to make ths contribution direct in tbs beginning? DAVID A. TURNER David A. Tomer, another of our pio neers, has experienced the treat sdvsn tare. "Unci Dsvy." as many of us bad coma to call him, has trod for the last time tbs streets of Hood River, dispensing bis cheery greetings, snd we will miss him. Tbs community will miss btm, bis friends will miss him snd bis church will miss him. Uavid A. Turner was a man among men. Hs wore tbe mantle of four score years as gracefully aa many men wear tbat of 60 years. But bs bsd lived s full, clean life. But few men, how ever, are aucb optimists as wss Mr, Turner. Tbe struggles of frontier life bsd not embittered bim. His spirits were just aa strong after tbe battle of wresting a home from ths wilderness as when be began. He smiled ss hs fought. Many men are religious, in fact most all are in some degree, although they practice their religion in different ways. Some are intolerant in their re liefs. David A. Turner waa a religious man, but his religion waa not a burden to himself nor to those who came in contact witb bim. His beliefs were a solace to him, hot he questioned not the solace that other men found in their creeds, Mr. Turner believed in tbe great principles of humanity. His greatest joy, we think, waa garnered from a communing witb nature. He loved all things beatuiful created by a beneficent providence, and we might add that the songbirds for which bs had provided a sanctuary around his home will miss bim. THE OREGONIAN ANNUAL The New Year has come again and witb it the Uregonian Annual, and we dare say that steady readera of the great daily by tbe thousands spent a protGable snd entertaining hour or two Monday, looking at tbe scores of extra ordinarily good illustrations and in perusing tbe comprehensive articles that tell of Oregon's resources and in dustries. The annual contains a com prehensive summing up of tbe past year's development, and at the aame time it is prophetic of tbe future. To many readers tbe Oregonian an nual of 1917 probably beld in store gratifying surprises. Although we may follow events from day to day and may watch the heralding of some grest en terprise s growth, ws miss its magni tude unlesa we have the comprehensive totaling up, a characteristic that makes the Oregonian annual valuable. Until we read the New Year Annual we failed to grasp the big scale on which abip building is now being conducted along the Lower Columbia river. - Whatever may be the pursuit of life of an Oregon citizen, be will do well to lay aside his Oregonian annual, for it will form a bandy reference work throughout tbe next 12 months. CHEAP In the Oregonian Annual of Monday Mark Woodruff, of Portland, has writ ten of the" benefits tbe stats of Oregon will derive from tbs proposed appropri ation of a fnud of $25,000. which will be combined witb an equal sum from Washington and a sum of half that amount from British Columbia and used in a concentrated campaign of advertising throughout the east and middle west on the great scenic attrac tions of the Northwest. Mr. Woodruff haa worked out a table of tbe proper tionate cost to each Oregon county Hood River county, if tbe legislature makes ths appropriation, will be called on to pay $253. Multnomah's share of the expense will be 18,654. Situated as a hub of the scenic mid Columbia rivet district, Hood River will benefit greatly from tbs proposed campaign of publicity. We cannot see how a Hood River man, after reading Mr. Woodruff's table of expense, can very well be opposed to the proposed plsn of raisingtbe publicity fund. A SUGGESTION FOR ECONOMY According to a dispatch from Salem Secretary of State Olcott in bis forth' coming biennial report will recommend tbat steps be. taken toward secuting a constitutional amendment and legists tioo that will eliminate numerous elec tions and result in throwing all munici pal and school elections on the earns day as the general elections. Figures compiled by tbe secretary of state's office show tbat during tbe years 1913 and 1914 elections cost taxpayers a euro of almost a half million. If Secretary Olcott's suggestions are acted on, we believe that a great econ omy can be worked. And perhaps a greater interest can be created in mu nicpal electiona if tbey fall on tbe dates of general electiona. At least, a larger vote will'be polled. The rounic ipal elections of Hood River for the past several vears, considered from'the standpoint of electors visiting the pulls, have been farces. THE COUNTY'S NEW JUDGE As a public official, our new county judge, L. N. Blowers, ia not new to ths people of Bood River. For two terms Judge Blowers made an efficient and successful mayor of the city of Hood River. This may not, however, be known to the newer residents of tbe city and valley. Yet all Hood River men know Mi. Blowera to be a careful, honest, concert stive business man. Mr. Blowers proposes to work toward something that all of us desire in Hood River, a harmonising of tbs different factional elements, that have mads im possible constructive action in the past few years. It he succeeds he will have accomplished much, and while it may be that he was not ths choice of avert ore, it behooves all to get behind ths new judge end help push affairs -out of ths old rut that hampered ths effect of our work at horns and abroad. We'll soon be planting our radishes snd lettuce for tbe esrly garden. Seed catalogues are already being delivered by ths mail carrier, and ths bsndaoms lithogrsphs bring dreams that do not slwsya corns true. v Tbe budget meeting last week had at least one redeeming feature.

B none mai tnonuaj win uu u j pattern for tbe remainder of our win ter days. BUDGET MEET DEBATES HOT (Continued from First Page.) they went into session Thursday night following the public meeting, discov ered tbat no necessity for application of the pruning aheara existed. L. E. Roberta, a Portland expert accountant who haa audited the county books, told the court tbat funda will beralaed irora back taxes sufficient in quantity to al low tbe full budget to aland aa pub lished. It had been proposed to make s heavy slash ot the county 'a road funda. Thia item, however, will be allowed to remain at $42,000. In all probability, however, the $42,000 road fund will bo tied up by litigation between the city and county. . While the eourt may lawfully raise tbe road fund under the general fund, it ia argued, aince the members of the court stated tbat tbey would apportion 7U per cent or me runaa raised in eacn regularly established road district to tbe respective district, that a court of equity will enforce the court to make s like diatnoulion or tunas raised from tbe assessment of city property, and if 1 1 . L . ' ,1, t , . lougoi in tne courts tnis win prooauiji form the main contention of tbe city. KOLSTAD IS NOW ELECTRICS OWNER Art Kolstad is now sole owner ot tbe Electric theatre. Mr. Kolstad pur chased the interest of Walter Shay in tbe popular Electric playhouse a little less than a year ago. tie and Mrs Kolstad have been active in the devel opment ot the institution. In addition to the display of appealing picturea of sucn standard producers as mangle and Paramount companies, the Electric under the management of the KolBtads and verh Wbitcomb has made a fea ture of music. Mrs. Kolstad draws many patrona to tbe Electric by the excellency of pipe organ and piano music, while her hue band is an expert with traps and drums. Vein Wbitcomb, tbe retiring member ol the old Electric firm, has been a val uable associate for Mr. Kolstad. Mr. Wbitcomb is versed in all aides of the moving picture game, having worked bis way up from the projecting room The team work of tbe former firm has put the Electric at the front in picture dom. Hail tbe Oregon Mist (From the Oregonian) It ia natural for the rain to fall in January in Western Oregon. Snow is pure and beautiful. The sunshine which followed it Sunday waa gorgeous. But the east wind had brought its aches and snuffles. Tbe human body seems to adapt itself to nature's normal mood. So it is said that aches snd snuffles, which defied drugs snd physicians when Oregon nature was on a holiday, are dissipated by Oregon Mist. Let us bope that Indian George who ever be may be who predicted a hard winter, misread the signs. To make an honest confession, we have small faith in Indian weather lore. Indian weather predictions come about some thing like this: White Brother "Good morning, George." Indian George "Ugh." I White Brother-"Going to be a herd winter, George?" Indian George-"Ugb." White Brother -"Good day, George." Indian George-"Ugh." When this edifying conversation reaches tbe public it appears that In dian George has said that the Hab'are seeking deep boles, that tbe rabbits have taken on an extra coat of fur. that tbe squirrels have laid by great stores of nuts, that tbs bears went to bed three weeks early, and that the moss crop is unusually prolific-all be ing certain tokens to tbe observant Indian tbat snow and ice are to seal land and stream. We are not acquainted with Indian George. But if we were, we doubt that we would place more credence up on his prophetic powers than we do upon those of tbe Rev. lrl R. Hicks. Tbe thing to be admired about the Rev. Hicks is tbat bs gives us variety. But who ever heard of Indian George predicting anything but a bard winter? Anyhow, thank God for tbe rain ! H. R.

FRUIT EXCHANGE OFFERS $100 PRIZE For weeks oast, or to be more ac curate, aince the first announcement of tbe contest in tbe Literary Digest of November 18, the American public haa been turning over and over in its mind the extaordmary and wonderful picture advertisement of "Skookum" apples which appears elsewhere in this issue. It is safe to say that milliona bave been attracted by the advertisement, and have been "suggested" or per suaded into thinking over and over what a good title for it would be. The Northwestern Fruit Exchange now comes out, as will be seen by the ad vertisement herein, witb an invitation to fruit growers and their wives and everyone of the Northwest to compete in this interesting contest. Ibe ex change will distribute $100 in cash prizea and tbe lucky winners will no doubt have the satisfaction of seeing their title used in publications the United States over. It is a priae con test in which tbe growers themselves csn well sfford to take a part-it ia all in the way of boosting the Northwest apple, and it would be an interesting thing if a priae or two were captured by the growers themselves. Every body willrecognize ia his "Skookum" contest picture tbe"Gold Dust twins," the ."Dutch Boy Painter." the "Cream of Wheat" chef, and other national figures in advertising. Tbe picture baa been very favorably commented on, it ia reported, by professional advertising men, and in tact haa caused something of a sensation in the advertising world. J. E. ROBERTSON GETS ' IMPORTANT SITUATION J. E. Robertsou, who for the past eleven years haa been with the Stanley Smith Lumber Co.. the past three of which as manager, has just been ap pointed assistant general manager of the Silver Falls Timber Co., which op erates a large mill at Silvertou. Mr. Robertson expects to leave Hood River for Silverton about Feburary ). For sevan yeara previous to coming to Hood River Mr. Robertson waa connected with the Grand Ronde Lumber Co. in eastern Oregon. Mr. Robertson will await several months before going to Silverton to reside. While expressions of regret at losing o good a citizen as "Jimmy" Robertson are general, be ia receiving many congratulations on landing tbe fine job. The Silver Falls Lumber Co. is now building one of the finest saw mills in Oregon. RECORD TEN PIN SCORE IS MADE One of tbe most interesting match games of ten pins ever played here oc curred last Friday night when a team composed of E. B. House, A. Eastman and D. P. Smith was defeated by one formed by Pat Lindsey, Newton Sexton and Ed Vannet, tbe victors winning in a three game aeriea by a margin of 138 pins. Tbe former rceord of 639 pins for three games on the local alley was smashed by Mr. Smith, who, matched against Sexton, ran up a score of 703 pins. Tbe totals and averages of the re spective players were aa follows: House, 475, average 158; Eastman, 669 and average 190; Smith, 544 and average 181 ; Lindsey, 568 and average of 189; Sexton, 505 and average of 168; Vannet, 553 and average of 183.

Oregon Start the New Year Right by Ordering a Hardie Power Sprayer We don't want to holler "wolf", but in'the face of a rising market on all kinds of steel being used in machinery, there is bound to be a raise in price be fore the big season starts. Even now, it is impossible to get any brass lined spray rods. The large factories in the East, which have been rolling the brass for these rods, refuse to take any further orders. Aluminum rods will be the general thing this year. By giving us your order today for a Power Sprayer, you are making a good move, because we guarantee the price as quoted today, but cannot guar antee the price for tomorrow. We will enter into an agreement with you to protect the price as quoted today against a raise or against a decline. So you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by sign ing an order now. And in face of the car shortage, which evidently is not a "wolf" cry, but an actual fact, as you can verify in any newspaper, wouldn't it be a wise move to give your order now, and pass the buck to us on delivery? No telling what the situation in cars may be this coming Spring anything might happen. But if you are assured that we have your machine right in our store, waiting for the day when you want it, don't you think that ordering today would give you a rather comfortable feeling? We have the various sizes on our floor, ready to demonstrate them to you. Right now is as good a time as you'll find to come in and look them over.
