In stead of the oiual cait of "kids" usu ally aeen before the footlights when amateur productions are given in Hood River some of toe "older ones per formed gallantly before an overflowing and appreciative audience. In following the atory of the play one was taken into the time of early New England days in a small village. Watching W. T. Price "dole" out grub across the eounter and the niggeh boy, W. H. McClain, try to make himself useful as well as ornamental around the grocery store took the audience into the realm of quaint and simple long ago. When Miss Frances Bragg bustled into the store room after her worthless old man, D. G. Cruikshank, the store loafers scattered like chaff before the winds. There was nothing slow abmit her acting. When it came to "argufyin " with Mi as Mae Davidson, Mrs, A. S. Keir certainly took the cake. The Hon. Samuel E. Bartmess, representing "Dsn" Weather by, brought a laugh even before he opened bis mouth. He entered with a look of determination, grimace, worry, and anxiety on his face but said expression was soon erased from his physiognomy by the audience. In eager quest lor the $1000 prize offered by the ssge old "Dan." Este Bronius, the budding youth of the play, had a "hunch" and captured the heroine, Miss Etheljane McDonald. He splendidly took the part of a Mr. Wiseacre." ; Many local jokea were sprung on the audience throughout the whole play and D. H. Drewery, in the role of a high, wide, and handsome Irishman, enter tained the spectators with a string of jesticulations particularly adapted to his makeup. The cutest thing on the program was the part of "innocent childhood" played by little Miss Mar garet Fineo. That mysterious orchestra from Gooaeville proved to be none other than a saxaphone quartet by Messrs. Kin caid, Vogel, Allen, and Zolls, who ren dered some beautiful music. Much credit is due Miss Case, of the High School, who directed the play and Mrs. C. K. Marshall and Mrs. Sam G. Campbell, who managed it, for the success of the undettaking. The committee desires to thank not only those of the cast who made the success of the play possible, but also Chas. N. Clarke. Bridal Veil Lumber Co., and the local newspapers for cour tesies extended. WILBUR ANTI-ALIEN BILL IS LIKED The Hood River Commercial Club members participated in tbeir second weekly "legislative luncheon" Thurs day, when the first strong sentiment in favor of the anti-Japanese land owning bill, introduced by Senator Geo'. R. Wilbur, a local resident, Dr. J. D. Uuttery, president of the club and A. I. Mason and J. II. Koberg, both ranchers, expressed themselves as strongly in favor of Mr. Wilbur's bill. iney aeciarea mat Japanese, as well as all other orientals, should be pre vented from becoming permanent citi zens of the country, since they cannot . ue BDsoroea. The Joint committee endorsed H. B. 154 and H. B. 138. The latter will pro hibit secret sessions of any state com mission, while the former provides that a railway compary shall be forced to lay the rails of a spur track to con nect any warehouse not over 1,500 feet from one ef its lines. The warehouse must have at least 30 tons of freight and the grade at the warehouse must be such that a locomotive will move a car with no greater effort than re quired at the ordinary stations of rail way companies. This week's luncheon will be held at the Oak street restaurant of L. V. Driscoll today. Voice Recognized After 20 Years A stranger called Saturday morning at a window of the local postoflice and aBked for Postmaster T. A. Keavis. The official came, and as the stranger was silent his business was asked. The visiting man then extended his hand in greeting and said: "Why, hello, Tom." Although he had not seen the caller in almost a quarter of a century, Post master Reavis recognized the voice as that of his old friend Ed. Weatherly, a rancher of Alberta, Canada, and the two rpeaired for a reunion and to par ticipate in reminiscences of old days. The Weatherly family was from Texas and that of Mr. Reavis from Missouri. The two families met on the Platte river in 1877 and crossed the plains together by wagon train. Mr. Weatherly was enroute to Wal lowa to visit his aged father, J. C. Weatherly. Felt Like 90; Now Like 21 Many persons complain about feeling old before they should. Like a weak link in a chain, a weak organ enfeebles the whole body. Overworked, weak or disordered kidneys lower vitality. A. W. Morgan, Angola, La., writes: "I suf fered with pains in the back. I am 43 years old, but left like a man of 00 year old. Since I took Foley Kidney Pills I feel like I did when I was 21. Sold everywhere. Highway Commission Assured The Portland Evening Telegram says that whatever road bills are adopted a State Highway Commission is assured. John B. Yeon is mentioned as commis sioner from the Third Oregon district, and J. H. Albert from the first dis trict. The Telegram says that in the Second district there are only two names mentioned, that of Leslie But ler, of Hood River, and Marcus A. Mayer, of Mosier. Some opposition to either Butler or Mayer might develop from the people further east because of their geographical position, but in the extreme Eastern Oregon section there has been no one who has been so closely identified with the good roads propaganda. Some of the Eastern Oregon members of the legislature say that Hood River is not far enough to suit them. Butler and Mayer both are wealthy, are enthusiastic over good roads and have the time to devote to state highway work. McLaughlin Installs 0. E. S. Chapter J. O. McLaughlin, .rand patron of the Order of the Eastern Star for Ore gon, spent the week end at Sherwood, where he installed a new chapter. Mrs. Ssah Rasmussen and A. C Dickinson, were elected, respectively, matron and paton of the new organization, to be known as Holly Chapter. Little Malcolm, three year old ton of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Frazier, took his first lesson Friday evening in fire prevention. The lecture was given by bis mbther. Having finished some household tasks, Mrs. Frazier. her bands folded in front of ber, wss standing with her back to the kitchen stove. Mr. Fra zier had just been making repairs on the stove and bad not replaced all of the front pieces that enclosed the fire box. Mrs. Frazier smelled the smoke of burning cloth but thought perhaps it was bits of scraps that she had thrown into the fire. Her little boy all the while was intently watching the flames creep up his mother's skirt. A spsrk from the stove had ignited her clothing. In the act of folding her hands be hind her, Mrs. Frszier'a arms were burned by the flames as they crept up her back. With a scream she ruBhed to a closet and siezed an old woolen sweater with which she extinguished her blazing garments, rubbing the sweater over her body like a bath towel. The rear of her skirt was a charred ruin. Young Malcolm, think ing the episode a new game cried out in great glee. But when Mrs. Frazier finished with her young son, he said with an expres sion of great sympathy and under standing: "Boy don't want Mamma to burn up any more." BENJAMIN GROUT KILLED IN ALASKA An assembly was called by the stud ents of the High School on Monday morning to pay tribute to the memory of Benjamin Grout, former teacher of mathematics, who was killed last Friday by an avalanche near Juneau, Alaska. Mr. Grout, who resigned his position here to accept an engineering offer from an Alaska mining company last year, was a popular instructor. He was formerly a member of the University of Oregon football team, and while here aided in coaching the local gridiron squads. A movement has been started among the students to place a memorial of Mr. Grout in the High School building. Mr. Grout was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Grout, of La Grande, where the body will be brought for inter ment. In addition to his parents, the young mining engineer is survived by his widow and a two year old son. Mr. Grout and a companion, Maurice Rasmussen, were caught by an ava lanche while making repairs to a flume. JAPANESE GROWERS FORM ASSOCIATION The Japanese fruit interests of the Hood River Valley will organize a co operative association, and Kay Yama biro, who will sever his connections today as porter of the Hotel Oregon, will become secretary and manager of the new organization. The Japanese man, who has been with the local hos telry under four different manage ments, states that the new organiza tion will merely be one of convenience for the transaction ipf business of its members.' The Japanese will not at tempt marketing, but some of its members will continue their affiliation with the Apple Growers's Association, while others will remain members of the Fruit Growers' Exchange. The main duties of the secretary of the Japanese association will be to act ns interpreter and to inform his country men of the benefits derived from cer tain experimentations in spraying and cultivation. , Japanese leasees and land owners are heavy producers of strawberries and other small fruits. ' They raise only negligible quantities of apples. ' Have You Had a Cold in the Head? Commercial Printing at Glacier office Several he-gossips, including the gatherere of news. were swapping yarns at Joe G. Vogt'a store the other day. About a half of the men, including the gatherer of news, were suffering from severe cases of grippe and colds in the bead. V. (Doc) Winebell, began a lit tle dissertation on colds ingeneral, and colds in the head especially. "lhese colds, you know," he said, "are getting pretty serious. They have a habit of settling in the weakest spot in the body, and they're making a whole lot of trouble." Mr. Winchell didn't realize what a shot he had fired until the influenza sufferers were on the point of mobbing him. A Woman's Experience with Grippe When a cough or cold "hangB on" and you have aches and pains in your joints and muscles, it is likely that grippe in taking hold of your system. Mrs. .1. A. UoilgerF, Switzer, S. C, says: "I am susceptible to colds; often ending in grippe; in this case I have found Foley's Honey and Tar to prevent doctor bills." This sterling family remedy loosens the phlegm, stops irritations, allays soreness and inflammation and frees the air pas senges. Good for children. Bold every where. 1917 Pears in Demand Representatives of a cannery at The Dalles were in Yakima offering S22 a ton for pears on contract the coming season. They eay they want 1500 tons. Ertle Buys Otten Place George Ertle last week purchased from Mrs. Frances Otten the letter's residence on State street. While the consideration has not been given out, it is understood that the price paid was approximately $4,000. Mr. Ertle, whose wedding to Miss Marjorie Barr was a recent event, with bis bride will make his home at the newly purchased place. Heavy Rains Welcome - A continuous downpour of rain pre vailed here for 24 hours Friday night and Saturday, the precipitation reach ing about an inch and a half. The cutters of Hood River's streets were overflown. Small streams were raging but without damage because of the deep canyons. ' The rain was welcomed by orchard ists, the precipitation of the Valley being short by nearly 10 inches. The Beat Recommendation The strongest recommendation any article may receive is a favorable word from the ut-er. It is the recommenda tions of those who have nsed it that makes Chamberlain's Cough Remedy eo popular. Mrs. Amaoada Gierbart, Waynesfleld, Ohio, writes: "Chamber lain's Cough Remedy has been used in my family off and on for twenty years and it has never failed to can a cold or cough". Obtainable everywhere. Money Talks -TO Fruit Growers -BY- j Northwestern Fruit Exchange j No. 7 i i Economics of the Industry j TO FRUIT GROWERS: ' In my previous talka to you Nos. 2 , to 61 have taken you through the j preliminary orsanization of the EX-i CHANGE and told you something of the men who started it and the men who run it. Now 1 want to tell you something of the practical operations. First, however, 1 want to analyse the economic position of our industry as it looks to me, for I believe that in order to solve any problem we have first got to understand that problem. Now, as far back as six and a half years ago, when we started, we were impressed with the difficulty of the task of mar keting the fruit and produce of the Northwest to advantage, especially as compared with such other large indus tries as citrua fruits, bananas, etc. Apples, particuary, are produced in every state in the Union in some quan tity, as well as in every country under the sun in the temperate tones. Our orchards are in a disadvantageous posi tion, economically, aa they are 2500 miles from the average of our markets, and the transportation coBt is very high, relatively to the value of the commodity. Furthermore, the North west produces only a small fraction of the national total less than 10 per cent while the big bulk of the produc tion is produced in territories close to our markets. It costs 50 cents per box or at the rate of $1.65 per barrel to de liver our apples to the principal mar kets. That is the VENTILATED freight rate; it costs us about $2 per barrel if refrigerated. Now, in the big barreling districts in the East and Middle West, the growers can deliver packed apples in barrels on board the cars and sell the fruit at $1.65 to $2 per barrel and make a profit. Don t you see what a great handicap we are la boring under; However, this Is not necessarily discouraging, if we once understand what we are up against and manage our business intelligently, though the handicap will surely break us if we fail to realize the situation and fail to meet it. The thing that we have got to depend on is our ability to produce large crops that will average a high per cent of extra fancy quality. Frankly, 1 don't believe, and never have believed, that there is a chance on earth for the district, the neighorhood or the individual that cannot produce crops that will grade a high per cent of extra fancy. Our extra fancy fruit is a highly finished product, which staads out above anything grown anywhere in the world. However, in order to real ize prices which show us a profit, this fruit must sell for more to the consum er than barreled fruit, and in market ing any comparatively high-priced ar ticle, it is necessary to employ modem salesmanship and extremely skilled ad vertising. In other words, our crop has got to be bandied along very different lines indeed from those on which bar reled fruit is bandied, as the economic position of boxes and barrels are very different. It is absolutely necessary that we spread our crop out thinly over the markets of the world. Faulty dis tribution, congestion of certain impor tant markets, etc., are peculiarly dam aging to our particular commodity. Now, it is easy enough to say, "We must have the widest possible distribu tion," but it is a lot harder to actually accomplish it. Yet that is the true function of any marketing agency that expects to survive in this Northwestern fruit deal, and we in the EXCHANGE built our machinery on that basis. Our purpose was to establish an institution which would produce efficient SER VICE FOR THE FRUIT AND VEG ETABLE GROWER in the whole pro cess of converting his produce into CASH, and which would safeguard the growers' interests in every phase of (a) selling, (b) transportation, (c) account ing. There is a lot more a very great deal more, indeed required than mere ly to sell tbo produce. You see, it is only the occasional large buyer or spec ulator who can afford to go to the ex pense of sending a representative 3,000 miles across the continent to buy his supplies. The statistics will show that less than one percent of the 10,000 car iot buyers in the United States and Canada (to say nothing of the thou sands of buyers in foreipn countries) nave ever been repesented in person at shipping points here in the Northwest. In other words over 99 per cent of the buyers STAY AT HOME. Seeing that they will not come to us, obviously we must go to them, if we want them to buy our fruit. The great majority of these dealers have an outlet for only 2, 3, 5 to 10 cars in a season, and if we expect to realize maximum values for our products, we have got to get as many of these dealers handling our product as possible. If we were willing to CONSIGN our produce to them, we wouldn't have to go to them to arrange that, but we don't want to consign; we want to SELL to the trade outright at a firm price. That means salesmanship and personal representation. These stay-at-home buyers naturally won't pay for the car until they can inspect it and be sure they are getting what they fougbt.hence, almost univer sally terms in the fruit business and produce trade are CASH AGAINST THE DOCUMENTS ON ARRIVAL AND INSPECTION. In other words, the seller must guar antee to deliver his merchandise in sound condition according to the speci fications of the sale. This means tbst the railroads must do tbeir work effi ciently; must deliver the shipment in reasonable time; must attend to the proper refrigeration or proper ventila tion; must protect the shipment from freezing, or cooking, etc. Like other humsn institutions, railroads are not infallible; frequently they fall down in their service, causing damage to the fruit and consequent rejection and loss. THEREFORE, a really efficient mar keting agency must maintain a first class TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT to look after the growers' interests in transportation matters. Then, after the fruit is safely delivered to the buy er comes the matter of collection and of proper accounting to the owners of the fruit. This is not as simple as it sounds, aa I shall presently show. In my next talk, I shall tell you about the organization, personnel and operatiion of the SALES DEPART MENT. Faithfully yours, W. F. GW1N, Vice President and General Manager Northwestern Fruit Exchange. Blowers Hardware Company sincerely thanks you for your loyalty and patronage in the past and hope to have your good will and business in 19 17 We Have No Quarrel ,With the habit of comparing our shoes with others before de ciding where to purchase.
