FUND IS FAR OVERSUBSCRIBED Although characterized by a lack of ostentation, the Hood River county drive for the Army Y. M. C. A. fund far exceeded the hopes of those in charge, and the drive ended Monday night with the original quota of $1,000 oversubscribed by very nearly 150 per cent. At the wish of the local com mittee, the ouota, following a meeting held here the week before - the cam paign, was raised to $1,500. When a meeting of the executive committee and soliciting teams was held Friday evening, it was found that the total subscriptions had reached $1,800 and the last three days members of the 10 teams of business men and orchardists rested on their oars. Yet voluntary subscriptions kept rolling " in and swelled the fund $2469.44. "I have never seen anything like it," says D. G. Cruikshank, who was manager of the campaign. "It was not a case of soliciting for any of the teams. It was simply a case of as sembling the funds. Rarely did any one turn down the appeal for the Red Triangle. In most cases citizens seemed to have made up their minds already. In dozens of instances the solicitors asked contributors to cut in half their offerings, for they knew the sacrifice the giving of large sums would en tail.'7 . With M. Yasui helping the soliciting teams, the Japanese ranchers of the valley contributed freely to the fund. The members of the executive com mittee of - the Hood River drive are Leslie Butler, E. C. Smith, J. 0. Mc Laughlin and Truman Butler. Capt. J. W. Crkes' team, composed of L. E. Taft, A. J. Graham, J. F. Volstorff, R. E. CollinB -and A. O. Adams, headed the list of 10 soliciting bodies with $434.75. This amount in cluded the Cascade Locks contribution of $293.25. With less than 300 popula tion the river town gave approximately $1 per capita. - Much of the credit of the Locks river town is due E. E. Ells worth, superintendent of the plant of the Bridal Veil Lumber Co. there, who took an interest in the latter and suc ceeded in raising $264 from the 119 employes. The next highest mark was made by Capt. Boidy and his Parkdale team of A. J. Brunquist, John Golds bury, Milton Runyon, Jr., H. F. Good lander and John W. Huff. This team raised $400.99. The respective amounts raised by other teams were as follows : Capt C. N. Ravlin, C. F. Gi lbert, R.W. Kelly, J. C. Butcher, $288; Capt. J. E. Ferguson, J. B. Lister, P. T. Hull, R. W. Arena, G. F. Ogden, Alli son Fletcher, $245; Capt. J. M. Cul bertson, G. A. Molden, R. B. Bennett, O. P. Dabney, L. Leavitt, $179; Capt. A. F. Bickford, A. G. Lewis, Waldo Mills, Ralph Root, E. R. Pooiey, R. E. Scott, $208.70; Capt. E. O. Blanchar, L. M. Bentley, J. D. Thomison, Clyde Arnold, J. G. Vogt, $128; Capt. H. A. MacDonald, Geo. Howe, W. B. Mc Guire, E. H. Longbrake, C K. Mar shall, John Baker, $230; Capt J. H. Hazlett. A. C. Lofts, L, N. Blowers, E. A. Franz, F. A. Cram, E. C Eber ly, $157.50; Capt M. L. Hutton. D..G. Cruikshank, Pat Lindsay, Harry Con naway, J. R. Kinsey, Wm. Stewart, $197.50. The Executive committee express their sincere thanks to all who made I contribution to the worthy fund. GIBSON URGES NECES SITY OF FOOD PLEDGE To the People of Hood River County : Fifteen hundred thirty-two families in our county have pledged themselves to economize and substitute in the use of foods. What of it? That depends on how deeply the tragedy of the times has sunk into our beings on whether we are blind to facts or have our eyes wide open to the urgency of the hour. Some thousands of our boys are now in the trenches in France ; a half mil lion more are in home camps training; these will soon cross the water to bat tle for world freedom ; and another half million will immediately take their places in . the home cantonments for more training to cross the water to add their weight to the forces that are des tined to crush despotism. Many of us lull ourselves into a stupid sleep with the fatuous idea, "Oh, the government will feed them." But in America we are the government We must find the wheat and the meat to keep our boys from being hungry. It can be done. One family of nine put the conserva tion plan into force throe weeks ago. Do they frost their cakes? None to frost. Only three loaves of white bread used in three weeks. They are stil 1 fully fit for work, even stronger than before. Organisations lead. Individuals fol low. The organizations in this county have a duty. The churches, the Wo man's club, the Mother's club, the granges, the lodges, the Parent-Teacher associations, and the teachers' insti tute, all should stir themselves. Res olutions? Not essentially, but action forceful, well placed action. You and I should be contented, de lighted with second best The millions of young Americans who are facing the fight for the freedom of mankind should have only the best Let them have the bread and butter, the beef and bacon, the pies and puddings. If we haven't force enough to break a few habits of appetite and decrease our rotundity a few inches then we are flabby in char actr. Decrease waste and decrease waist ; and be better for it both in body and mind. Save wheat, meat, sugar and butter for the boys in khaki for the armies of democarcy. Humanity is calling. Sincerely, L. B. Gibson. 0.-W.R.&N. OBJECTS ' TO RIVER SURVEY Plans for construction of the Colum bia River Highway between Hood Riv er and Mosier have been blocked tem porarily by the refusal of the O.-W. R. & N. to approve them where they en croach on the railroad right of way. The state highway department has completed its survey and submitted it to the railroad engineers, who refused to consider it, saying that the company would not consent to, a road along' its right of way on the ground that cdn struction work might possibly involve a delay of traffic. It is probable that the Highway Commission will either prevail upon the railroad officials to waive their ob jections or else institue condemnation firoceedings if it is decided that the aw opens a way to a condemnation suit. While the law is clear relative to condemning across a public utility it is not so plain when it comes to a ques tion of obtainin&a strip lengthwise. With H. A. Schell, of Grants Pass, who has been awarded a subcontract by A. D. Kern, in charge, work on the Ruthton hill section of the Highway is under way. Schell has established a camp at Mitchells Point and is con necting up the new links of road with the tunnel through the Mitchells Point cliff. THE COST OF APPLE j GROWING ADVANCES The cost of growing and marketing apples has increased 25 per cent since the European war began, with a possi ble similar advance for next year. From the pruning knife to the services of a boy to pack the picked apples, the grower now pays materially more than in 1913. Heavy advances are noticeable in all lines of spray materials. Fertil izers, also, have advanced rapidly. Nitrate of soda, used extensively m orchards, was selling at $60 per ton before the war. Today growers do not know what next season's supply will cost. The last deliveries herejeost $98 per ton. 1 At the present time growers cannot get quotations on boxes. Many orch ardists made provisions for the harvest of next year and are hauling out a load of box shooks after the delivery of each load of apples. While boxes were 10 cents and cheaper before the war, today growers are looking forward to the possibility of 20 cent boxes for next year. Paper wrappers and lin ings have doubled up in prices. BOYS OF 12TH WILL EAT RAW APPLES "Send us apples instead of jams and jellies," has been the substance , of messages received during the past sev eral weeks by wives, mothers sad sweethearts of the men of 12th Co. As a result the Woman's Auxiliary of the organization has placed all sweets planned as Thanksgiving contributions to 12th Co. on the taboo list, and this week the home folk of all parts of the valley have picked out the best of all varieties of apples. - The fruit has been shipped with the instructions that none of it be cooked but that it be made available for dis tribution among the soldier boys at Fort Canby at any time in the raw state. ! 12th Companj Gets Recruits The call of 12th Co. for ten recruits to bring the organization to full war strength, is being answered by local boys. Orville Thompson and Pearl Perkins, young men of ,the iUpperiValley. ar rived here Tuesday, and after wiring Capt Wilbur, for instructions, left yesterday morning for Astoria. The boys were accompanied as far as Hood River by J. F. Thompson, young Tbompfon's?ather. THE RED (liOSS WILL GIVE BALL THANKSGIVING NIGHT SCHEDULED Two Upper Stories of Heilbronifflr Hall Will Be Tamed Over to The Big Party The Red Cross ball, planned by the local Chapter for Thanksgiving night is arousing a more valley wide interest than any social event ever undertaken in the valley, and the attendance will undoubtedly exceed that of any party ever given here.

For those -who care to do neither there will be opportunities for enjoying so cial intercourse with their friends from various parts of the valley. The many knitters for the Red Cross will have a good chance to ply their needles . at times when they do not care to ' dance or play cards. It is expected that the football team from Fort Canby, which includes many members of 12th Co., will be guests of honor. The Hood River boys on the team include Rud Imholz, Allyn But ton, Walter Ford, Paul Lancaster and Fred Coshow. The price of admission will be $1 a couple, with 25 cents for extra ladies, which will include both dancing fend card playing. Twent-yfive cents ex tra will be charged for supper. The latter will be served under the auspices of the Girls' Honor Guard, under the direct supervision of Louise Halvorsen, Anne Vannet, Aldine Bartmess - and Mrs. Edgar Franz.

Mrs. Jenkins has enlisted the services of the Boy Scouts who are now, industriously gathering decora tions for the event The entire floors of the two upper stories of the building will be devoted to the event The office rooms of the second floor will be equippd as card rooms and for serving supper. It is announced that one admission - will cover entrance to the dance and card rooms. All who wish to have card ta bles reserved are requested to tele phone to Mrs. L. F. Henderson, num ber 5439.

RED CROSS CANTEEN - ' COMMITTEE NAMED A Red Cross canteen depot has been established at Hood River, and the Chapter has appointed the following canteen committee: C. A. Bell, J. H. Fredricy and L. M.

Fruit for the most part is contributed by growers for this pur pose, and a supply is usually on hand at the baggage room where Mr. Fred ricy looks after its distribution. Last week, however, no fruit was on hand, and the Red Cross Chapter purchased $25 worth of apples to be given to soldiers passing through. More than a carload of apples has Deen distributed to the boys of troop trains..
