fortunes of several of the grape gath
erers. Margaret suddenly discovers
that her necklace is missing and accus
es the gypsies of having stolen it.
The gypsies are greatly angered and a

gypsies are somewhat pacified.
The necklace is afterwards found

to the scenes of the day's occupations

Six large, V-shaped flocks of wild
geese, noisily honking, wingtd their
way northward Friday over the Hood
River valley, and local weather fore
casters declare that the migration of
the big honkers to their nesting ground
is a conclusive indication that the long
delayed springtime of 1917 is now ar
rived.
Those who saw the flocks of north
bound geese estimate that at least
2,000 big birds were in the six flocks.

FOOD CAMPAIGN
WELL UNDER WAY
With the local campaign for the in
creased cultivation of staple foods well
under way, the food preparedness com
mittee, headed by Mrs. W. L. Clark, is
now directing its attention toward in
teresting city residents in raising more
poultry.
"We ought all." says Mrs. Clark,
"build a Tittle hen house in our back
yards and thus provide our own eggs.
Our committee is gratified at the man
ner in which the people of the city
have taken hold of the food campaign.
We would urge, however, that plant
ings be made as much as possible of
such foods as will not spoil. We ought
to plant articles that we can can or
keep over the winter in a dried state.
"The agricultural class of the high
school has completed the task of a
survey of all available vacant lots.
While but few available plots have not
been taken those desiring space for
planting may be able to secure the
same by conferring with Prof. Mc
Laughlin, a member of our committee,
who is superintendent of the city
schools."
The food preparedness committee in
addition to taking an active part in
putting forward the local planting
campaign is visiting different valley
communities and assisting in the or
ganization of similar committees. The
Barrett people have been visited, ad
dresses having been delivered by Dr.
J. W. Sifton, Mrs. C. H. Castner, Mrs.
Clark and Prof. McLaughlin. The lo
cal committee will go to Oak Grove
Friday night and start a food prepared
ness committee.
Mrs. Castner was present in Portland
Saturday at the meeting attended by
Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of O. A. C,
who has been placed at the head of the
Oregon food conservation campaign.
She declares that the meeting was a
momentous one and will result in a
great deal of benefit It is planned to
make a survey of the entire state simi
lar to that conducted here. Approxi
mately $8,000 will be needed for this
campaign between now and July 1,
when a federal appropriation has been
called for by Secretary of Agriculture
Houston.
One of the things of greatest impor
tance now facing the state authorities
is the securing of proper seeds. Those
having surplus seed as well as those
desiring them, are requested to com
municate with the Oregon Agricultural
College.
CITIZENS ARE URGED
TO CLEAN UP
The second week in May has been
designated by the state as Clean Up
Week. It will also be observed in
Hood River city and county by agree
ment with the civic committee or the
Woman's club.
Those who are depending on other
people to remove their garbage and
other matter, offensive to the sense fof
smell and sight and to general de
cency, should not wait until thattime.
They should begin the work right now,
for means during that week may not
be available for all.
If we are to prevent an epidemic of
infantile paralysis this summer and
fall every manure pile, unsanitary toi
let and garbage pile should be annihil
ated, so that myriads of flies may not
be the messengers of death to the ba
bies of your neighbors, if you have
none of your own to be infected.
Dr. Jesse Edgington,
' Health Officer.
TEDDY HACKETT
ORGANIZES GUARD
With Teddy Hackett, an enterprising
boy of the high school as captain, a
Junior Home Guard, composed of 45
boys, most of them pupils in the grade
schools, has been organized. Young
Hackett, who has been studying th e
manual of arms under the direction of
County Clerk Shoemaker, who is first

nent on athletic teams. Faculty and
students of the high school turned out
in a body to give the boys a farewell
ovation at the train.
Two other boys, Fred Coshow and
Chaffer Newton, left for Portland to
join the navy Tuesday.
The high school girls are doing their
bit toward helping naval recuiting of
ficers. As the local boys were boarding
the train, a bevy of the girls kissed
each of them goodbye.

If
Have You Noticed, People of Hood River
How prices on articles too numerous to mention have been dropping in differ
ent stores throughout the city?
HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE?
Is it because another old worn out, and bankrupt stock has been bought?
Hardly this, as merchants in that game are paying more for bankrupt stocks
than ever before, so why should they cut prices when they have to pay more?
Is it because some more goods are being bought on a commission basis?
Hardly this, as goods sold on that plan MUST come high, as too many are
receiving a profit.
This Must Be the Reason, People
A new store with new and up-to-date merchandise has come to town. This
store sells only Quality Merchandise and is able to sell new and better mer
chandise at lower prices. Backed by the combined buying power of (175)
stores, operating on a small expense and selling on a small and honest margin
of profit, are a few of the many reasons HOW WE DO IT.
Investigate this store's method of doing business. You will find an honest,
money-saving proposition awaiting you and those you are trying to provide for!
ALL OF 1916 CROP
OF APPLES SOLD
Except for about eight carloads of
late keeping varieties that have al
ready been purchased, the storage
plants of the Apple Growers Associa
tion, the total tonnage of which for
the 1916 season reached 970.000, are
now empty and the big ice machines
are engaged in turning out a supply
for the refrigeration of express cars
to be used in strawberry shipments.
The remaining storage apples have
been paid for and .the shipping agen
cy's clerical force is busily engaged
getting out the'data'on the nnal pools
of la: t year's apple crop, the biggest
in the history of the local fruit indus
try. A total of $115,000 was. distrib
uted to the concern's affiliated growers
last week.
The Association is now making
ready for the handling of the 1917
strawberry crop, which because of.the
tardiness of spring will not begin to
move in carload lots it is now predict
ed, before the middle of June. In
normal seasons car shipments of the
berry crop which reaches around 100
carloads annually, are made between
May 15 and June 1. Ripe berries are
harvested about six weeks after the
first blossoms. Local berry acreages
have as yet shown no signs of bloom
ing. BIG LUMBER DEAL
IS PUT THROUGH
Through the purchase by the Bridal
Veil Lumber Co., which operates a
plant of 150,000 feet daily capacity at
Bridal Veil, of a plant from the Wind
River Lumber Co. of equal capacity at
Cascade Locks and large timber hold
ings on the headwaters of Wind river,
in Skamania county, Wash., one of the
largest timber deals of recent date has
been consummated.
Nelson Emry, superintenduent of a
local distributing plant of the purchas
ing company, who has just returned
from Cascade Locks states that he un
derstands the Bridal Veil company will
take over the new property within the
next two weeks. The Wind River
Lumber Co., owned chiefly by Wiscon
sin capital, was under the management
of Clark W. Thompson. The logs were
sent by raft down the Wind river and
rafted across the Columbia.
The company making the disposal of
the big timber holdings has not been
operating at capacity for several years.
The Bridal Veil company, it is stated,
expects to construct a railway to tap
the heavy holdings and their plans in
dicate that an extensive development
will be put under way.

tion. The windows of the new store were
replete week before last with a display
of Ingersoll watches among them the
new "Radiolite" watch, the numerals
of which glow in darkness. Last week
the patriotism of the store was shown
by a handsome Red Cross display.
B. C. Winans Sent to Asylum
H. C. Winans, aged 65 years, was
adjudged insane Monday. Mr. Winans,
who was taken to the state hospital at
Pendleton Thursday, came here from
Coldwater Mich., several years ago and
purchased a West Side orchard place.
He lost his ranch and has met with
other reversals. The worry over finan
ial matters, it is thought, has unbal
anced the old man's mind.
While before the commission, Mr.
Winans stated that he had been mar
ried. His wife, according to his story,
secured a divorce and remarried.
Artillerymen Have Field Day
Thirty-five members of Twelfth Co.,
in full uniform, filed in a column Sun
day to an open field two miles west of
the city, where they spent the day in
drills and field maneuvers. At inter
vals throughout the day a number of
the families of the soldier boys joined
them. The enlisted men were guests
at a luncheon served by Mr. and Mrs.
C, A. Bell.
The artillerymen were prevented
from taking their initial field drill the
previous Sunday because of wintery
weather.
Incorporated
SIEG-McCULLAGH
BANQUET IS GIVEN
The members of the board of direc
tors of the Apple Growers Association
were hosts Monday evening at the
Mount Hood hotel at a banquet given
jointly as a farewell expression of
courtesy to Wilmer Sieg and as a re
ception to C. W, McCullagh, who will
succeed Mr. Sieg.
P. S. Davidson, president of the
board since the Association's organiza
tion in 1913, presided as toast master.
A feature of the banquet was the serv
ing of perfect 1915 Spitzenburg apples
grown by E. H. Shepard, a member of
the board, and kept in cold storage of
one of the agency s large plants.
Mr. Sieg, who has occupied the posi
tion of Association sales manager con
tinually since 1913,will leave Thursday
with Mrs. Sieg to motor to North Yak
ima, where extensive preparations are
being made by the Earl Fruit Co., of
which he will be sales manager. His
headquarters will be in Spokane. Mr.
McCullagh comes here from North
Yakima, where for five years he was
sales manager of the Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers Association.
ARTILLERY BALL
TOMORROW NIGHT
The Artillery club, men of Twelfth
Co., will give a ball at the armory to
morrow night, the proceeds to be used
in swelling the mess fund of the com
pany. The government appropriation is
rarely ever large enough to sufficiently
and properly provide the new national
guard companies. Indeed, such organ
izations, when called for mobilization,
are accustomed to have a fund called
the mess fund, to supplement the gov
ernment appropriation. Do you know
that the Hood River boys have no
such fund?
Do you furthermore know that rare
ly in the history of such a military or
ganization as Twelfth Co. have the
residents of a home community been
called on for so little as has been the
ease here in the artillery company or
ganization? Twelfth Co. has broken
well set precedents and has proceeded
along its way quietly and modestly.
The boys now need some financial
assistance.
The foregoing words ought to be
enough to swell the crowd at tomorrow
night's dance. Be there to show
Tweltfh company members that you
are behind them.
Baptists Express Thanks

thrown open their homes to us and
have contributed so royally to our com
fort have our heatfelt thanks. They

Christian Church
As the days are becoming longer we
have decided to begin our Sunday even
ing services one half hour later than
usual. The prayer meeting however,
will continue to meet at 7.30, followed
by the teacher training class. I trust
that every member of the church has
begun to make preparations for our
"Home Coming" meeting in May. We
expect to have with us at that time
C. F. Swander, corresponding secre
tary for the state of Oregon, and also
T. W. Leavitt, of Eugene, who will
take charge of the music.
Attend our Endeavor meetings and
see the interest manifested by our
young people. We expect to have 100
active members in this society before
our state convention in July.

ROAD MEN PRAY
FOR SUNSHINE
Not only the rancher and orchardist.
but the Hood River county road builder
is praying for sunshine. Orchardists
and strawberry growers are about a
month behind with their work. At
intervals when the sun is shining the
exhausts of sprayer engines simulate
the popping of machine guns on a bat
tle front.
"If we would just have-a week of
dry, warm weather," says County
Commissioner Hannum, who is devot
ing his entire time to road improve
ment, "we could get local highways in
fair shape. We have already spent
400 nn the llHt pvtanai'nn tlia fnl

now fairly good. It will be fine as
soon as it dries up. We are working
on the highway west of town near
Wyeth.. Because of lack of proper
drainage thernnH IipH at this nnint uo.
nearly all washed away last winter."
i ne warm snowers are causing cher
ries and other early fruits to burst
rapidly into blossom. Orchardists fear
a lack f pollenization if the rains con
tinue. Chas. Hall Honored
