ians.
The questionnaire, which all draft
eligible will be required to fill out, is
16 pages in length and contains almost
every conceivable question which might
tend to throw some light on the family

officiating clergyman or magistrate,
If a renter, the applicant must give
the amount of rent he pays each month

Ministers Pay Tribute to W. L Smith
Hood River has lost one of her op
timists in the passing of W. L. Smith,
whose funeral occurred last week. Mr.
Smith, who is survived by his widow
and two children. Miss Hazel H. and
Wesley W.. the latter of Portland, was
known lor his ever sunny smile.
At the funeral last week tributes
were paid to the memory of the de
parted by Rev. E. H. Longbrake and
Rev. J. L. Hershner, both his. friends.
Mr. Longbrake said in part :
"There are certain folk whom we
delight to be with and with whom we
delight to mingle and whose presence
is a benediction to us. , ro meet with
them is to find relief and refreshment
and blessing. We always feel the hap
pier for having been with them. In
this day of gloom and despair it is a
great blessing for one to be able to
carry the Gospel of Sunshine. There
is a treat need for those whose disnosi
tions and'eharacters are such that they
can carry the Gospel of Sunshine, and
they are a very great asset to any
community and people. We are truly
made better ana tne world wees some
of its gloom because of such disciples.
We love to sit under their shadow and
come close to them."
Rev. Hershner spoke with great sym
pathy, as a friend and near neighbor
of Mr. Smith. He said:
"The tribute of respect and esteem
that is given to a person by his friends
and neighbors Is a greater, higher hon
or than any public honor or favor.
This tribute as friends and neighbors
we today brought to honor the memory
of Mr. Smith. - He was always cheer
ful and good natured and it he had
dark hours he kept it to himself.
"He was a man who did not make
great professions but his friends knew
where he stood on all moral questions
and his influence will be felt for good
in years to come His family and home
were always in his thoughts. He be
longed to the class of farmers who do
their best, and he always honored his
calling with tbe roost scientific, up to
aaie memoes, -

Visits of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. David
son, who are spending the winter In
New York city, have recently formed
delightful surprises for Hood River and
Oregon soldier boys in training quar
ters in and around the metropolis.
In a letter home Mrs. Davidson tells
of a surprise visit to Sgt. Ellis Morse,
of an aero squadron. On receipt of a
telegram from Hood River announcing
the arrival of the young man in New
York, Mr. and Mrs. Davidson packed a
basket with apples, fried chicken. Hood
Kiver straw bery and cherry preserves.
cookies and candies and called on the
young flyer.
J he smile on ms lace, writea Mrs.
Davidson, "was worth the price of
many telegrams. He did not know we
were in New York,. I am sending our
home addrss and telephone number, so
that the Hood River people with boys
in the army or navy may inform their
boys of them. We will then at least
see, II they call us, that they get some
Hood Kiver apples to eat while here
and anything else that will make it
pleasant for them. Our home address
is 580 St. Nicholas Ave., telephone
Audubon 7140. Mr. Davidson's office
address is 97 Warren St., telephone
Barclay 9974."
On a recent vist to Long Island Mr.
and Mrs. Davidson, according to the
letter, met so many Oregon men that
they characterized the day as Oregon
Day.

the hog except the squeal, one better
this year. The apple canner and cider
mill men are saving every last bit of
the cull fruit.
The evaporating department of the
Hood River Apple Vinegar Co. is be
ing devoted exclusively this season to
the curing of apple parings hauled sev
ers! blocks from the two canneries.
All parings are also saved at the Odell
plant of the Hood River Valley Prod
ucts Co., and are as carefully dried as
the fruit itself. The apple peels, con
taining the properties from which jell
ies are made, bring high prices from
eastern jelly makers.
The big vinegar plant in the city has
contracted all of its pomace to be con
veyed across the street to R. H. Ull
rich's evaporating plant constructed to
handle the former refuse product ex
clusively. When prepared for ship
ment to Jelly makers, the dried pomace
resembles a number of the prepared
breakfast foods now on the market.

planning on, but "apple
money" never got as far as

, Dr. Edgington Issues Warning
Many of us have not learned the arts
of peace; now we .are called upon to
contribute to the art of war. At home
especially to make, war upon those
things which oppose the . conservation
of good health and strength.
We are sadly lacking in many neces
sary things we should know in regard
to the preservation of health and hap
piness which comes . from the observ
ance of many principal things.
The Bible says a generation grew up
who knew not Joseph, or Jesus, for
that matter, for it seems a generation
has crown up in ten years which knows
not of the campaign for pure water
conducted in our county and city.
A few months ago the State Board
of Health inquired why there were no
cases of typhoid, smallpox, scarlet fe
ver or diphtheria being sent in from
Hood River county, and if tbe doctors
were neglecting their duties in report
ing the same.
There has been nothing to report on
that line until recently, but .now we
will have to admit nearly a dozen cases
of typhoid fever in the last two months.
These cases are located . in the Odell
and Pine Grove districts.
Fifteen samples of water have been
sent irora those places lor examination,
one-hall oi which contain colon or gas
bacilli, indicating tne water is unfit lor
domestic, use without, sterilizing. In
some cases the water ia from wells
which are not protected from surface
washings or from filth drained through
soil saturated , with human or animal
excrement, probably. In other cases
people are using ditch or irrigation
water without sterilizing; in some
cases also storing their water in cis
terns for future use.
It is impossible to carry , water in
open ditches in a thickly settled coun
try very far without its becoming pol
luted in many ways. In some cases
people carelessly drain horse and cow
lots and even pig pens into small
streams and ditches from which people
a short distance away use tbe water.
It is a pity that with so much whole
some water gushing irom many springs
from places which cannot become con
taminated, that anyone should have to
drink impure water, but everyone
must look out for himself. In the
country one ought to be able to have
a constant supply of pure water.
Various septic, diseases are brought
about by drinking impure water; also
inhaling gases from decaying manure
piles and hlthy toilets, open and other
wise. They may cause , death, waste
of valuable time, . much expense and
suffering,, not only to the patient, but
may be communicated to friends and
relatives and innocent persons.
. We know now that impure water can
be made pure by many methods ; by
boiling, by the use or chlorine in dif
ferent forms, and there is also on the
market a small tablet that is used in
purifying water in small quantities
available for traveler and others, who
are becoming numerous now that the
age of. the auto ear is at hand, -by
wnich said traveler may avoid the dan
ger of infection from impure drinking
water while . traveling through a new
and strange country or one in which
the water supply is known not to ,be
good.
Now, with all tbe many plana known
to protect people, there will always be
those who wilt not profit by the knowl
edge given them without price, and
who will not . learn except by experi
ences. Dr. Edgingn.

Stork Almost Stops Trains
The arrival last week of the stork
at the home of "Toby" Morioka, jani
tor at the local O.-W. R. & N. station,
one of whose duties is to convey the
United States mail bags to and from
the postoffice, demoralized the stat ion
force and all but delayed mail trains.
When Morioka was summoned home to
greet his new daughter, Agent J. H.
Fredricy was unable to find any one to
take his place. The genial Mr. Fred
ricy spent an hour Friday at the
big passenger station weilding broom
and duster. C. Evinger, the station
baggagemaster, carried the mails.
"Toby" has been employed as jan
tor at the station for the past 10
years. He has been absent from his
post on only four occasions, once
when he was married and twice to cel
ebrate the visits of Dr. Stork.
On the other occasion loby was
missing from his place to attend the
funeral arrangements of his first born.
The Japanese man is very fond of
children, and the death of his little one
was a blow that he never recovered.
Possibly the old stove has
just about "given up the
ghost". . . . why not make
Hubby see that in order to
do good work in 4he kitchen
requires as good tools as to
do good work in the orchard.
Why not have
that

Thanksgiving?
One that will roast. Mr.
Turkey to a golden brown

fine that he will have to own
up "these are better than
mother's."

Logger Killed in Wreck
D. A. Bassich, an Austrian laborer
on his way to work in the company's
Wett Fork logging camp, was instantly
killed Monday afternoon when the log
srinsr train returning from the mill to
the woods collided with nine wild cars
that had broken from a switcher and
had swept with a great speed down a
long heavy grade. Members of the
logging crew jumped to safety.
Papers in the dead man's pockets in
dicated that he had been residing at
Hillsboro. The body was brought here
bv Coroner Bartmess.
The accident, the first of its kind
ever had by the lumber company here,
demolished three cars, and a dozen
others will have to undergo extensive
repairs.
Honor Guard Girls Dig Spuds
Beneath the fluttering folds of the
Flag presented to them last spring the
members of the Girls' Honor Guard
spent Saturday harvesting their crop
oi potatoes.
A courier summonned the workers to
the harvest Friday afternoon, and Sat
urday girls in assorted modes of work
ing garments and equipped with a mot
ley array of rakes, forks and spades
assembled at a city block on the
Heights, where the girs themselves
planted and cultivated the crop. The
young girl patriots alternately dug the
tubers from the earth and engaged in
sorting. Tired but proud the Honor
Guard Saturday night contemplated the
bags of tubers which will be sold and
the fund given either to charity or to
some patriotic cause.
This is Year for Big Apples
. The season of 1917 will be remem
bered by many growers as the year of
big apples lor varieties thst uusually
run to small sizes. On the East Side
ranch of Fellix Vonnegut a number of
boxes oi Jonathans, running 72 to box
were harvested. Jonathans do not
usually average 150 in size.
Manv growers have also harvested
huge Newtowns this year. The large
Newtown is in good demand in domes
tic markets, but for export the small
sizes are preferred.
