THE FUTURE APOLOGIST
William Swickers became involved
in'debt. Day by day he law himself
owine more and more money. With
much craftiness he secured the trans
ferof what remaining unincumbered
property he had to Mra. Swickers, and
he n his creditors were informed by i
referee in bankruptcy that a volun
. tary petition had been filed by William
Swickers, assets doubtful. It so hap
pened that Walter Nome, one of Bill
Swickers' oldest and closest friends
and a man who was well to do, had.
gone security for Swickers and the
burden of settling mnch of his indebt
edness fell to the lot. of Mr. Nome.
The bankrupt courts took their regular
course and Mr. Nome paid up. A week,
or two following the settlements of
the bankrupt's estate old Bill dropped
in at the town drugstore. He was al
ways talking of his misfortunes, and
he began his conversation -with the
veteran druggist, another old acquaint
ance, with a recital of his reverses.
"This business of my having to go
to the wall," he commiserated, "was,
pretty tough, I tell you. I hate like
Bin for Walt Nome to have to pay up
for roe, but then he's well to do and
he'll get over it"
The old druggist was a philosopher
as well as a pharmacist of the old
school. During his life time of dis
pensing blue mass, blackroot and lo
belia, he had observed the ways of
men and women, and his reply was
based on the wisdom of his years of
experience.
"Yes, Bill," he said, "Walt will get
over it. Everybody will get over it
In 10 years it will be forgotten every
body '11 get over it but you and you,
the older you get the more you are go
ing to think of it"
The foregoing is a true story, but
the names are fictitious. It is related
at this time to point a warning to the
able bodied young American who today
fails to answer his country's call. The
Civil war was fought over 50 years
ago, and yet today you will hear old
men who cannot refrain from telling
you why they are not members of the
Grand Army ; or if they resided below
the Mason and Dixon line, why they
were not with Forrest or Lee or Stone
wall Jackson. And the reverse, you
will note with what pride veterans of
that conflict wear their decorations,
however meager they may be, relics of
a duty well performed.
The future apologists of America are
going to be the young men of this
country who in their conscience know
that they will be stackers if they do
not go down fc the field of battle and
fight The world may forget, but they
never. And it's an apology that seems
to be handed down to the second and
third generations. Young man, you
do not want your children or your
grandchildren to have to apologize in
. the years to come about the slacker
conduct of their father or their grand
father. You can leave noVicher herit
age than that record of service for
your country.
VOLUNTEERS
After next Saturday volunteering for
the army will automatically cease, and
thereafter the-, fighting Jand forces of
the United States win be organized
and trained from the great body of
eligibles under the selective draft law.
But the United States government
will still maintain one of the greatest
volunteer organizations ever in exist
encethe national American Red Cross
society, the humanitarian arm of our
nation, brought into being not only to
aid the sick and bear relief to the
wounded of our army and navy and
carry to them as many as possible of
the comforts of life, but also to ameli
orate the suffering, resulting from
catastrophe, in civil life.
The war is not going to be won al
together by the soldier on the field of
battlle. The task calls for the support
of all. Though men and women are
unable to actively affiliate with any
other branch of the government ser
vice, they can, and should, volunteer
heii membership in the Red Cross.
The campaign for Red Cross mem
bers will be waged nation wide all
next week. Hood River county has al
ready made a creditable and enviable
record for Red Cross work, and that is
all the more reason why Hood River
county should be the first to report a
full membership of - every adult man
and woman in the county early next
week. Let everybody pull, together
and we can do it You who know the
details of the campaign preach it every
minute of the day. All that is needed
is that the ball just be started to roll
ing. Join the Red Cross all you need is a
dollar and a heart
Help Chief Morgan and Fire Marshal
Snyder make Hood River Christmas
free from fires by observing every rule
for safety in the display of Christmas
decorations and goods.
We have seen a copy of that Ques
tionnaire that draft eligibles will be
called on to ft'gn. Now we understand
that stampede to enlist
GOOD ROADS ARE
Food and fighting will win the war.
Delinquent Should Be Know
(From the Oregonian)
Portland. Nov. 29. To the Editor
I approve your editorial regarding the
payment of delinquent taxes. But give
us the names of these delinquent. J
do not object to saving the city's cred
it but anv individual, when he is com
pelled to pav another person's debt,
has a riirht to know who that other
person is. I am only one of the many
Portland home owners who bas econo
mized and Buffered hardhsip to pur
chase a home on a small aalarv.
It is simply justice that I Know for
whom I am compelled to pay assess
ments in order to uphold the city's
honor. Besides, a little limelight
sometimes works wonders. The spe
cial tax for such a purpose is as bad in
the eves of Drosrjective homemakers as
the default in interest is in the eyes of
our creditors. I'll pay my tax without
a kick ; but I'd like to know whom
am paying it for. C. F. Swander,
774 East Yamhill street
The foregoing may not seem timely.
inasmuch as, since it was written, the
city council has adopted a plan other
than taxation for meeting the emerg
ency. Besides, the names of the 12
principal delinquents have already
been published, tjfOiugh there are many
minor delinquent whose names have
not appeared.
The letter, however, reminds us that
a bill to abolish publication of the de
linquent list is to be initiated for pre
sentation to the voters in the next
election.
Ordinary tax delinquencies operate
in exactly the way it was expected the
Delinquencies on bonded street assess
menta would o Derate at the time Mr.
Swander wrote his letter. Every year
the taxing authorities add a certain
amount to the levy to offset the failure
oi a certain proportion or property
owners to pay their taxes. 1 he man
who promptly pays his taxes carries
for the time being the man who does
not
It does look like simple justice that
the man who advances the taxes of
others should know for whom he is 'do
ing it. It is also true that a "little
limelight sometimes Iworks wonders.
It would suit delinquent taxpayers
very well if their failure to pay were
known only to the tax collector while
the prompt payer was wondering what
may have made his taxes so high.
Medical Officers Here
On a recruiting tour. Cant Ralph
Fen ton and Lieut. K. P. Moran, Medi

from Portland to interview physicians
and surgeons and check over those who
have expressed a willingness to enlist

from here to The Dalles today to meet
physicians from central Oregon.
Capt Fenton stated that one of the
purposes pf the tour was to save phys
lcians the expense of a visit to Van'

TAKE CARE OF THE MACHINERY
The use of less hand labor, because
of the war, will result in the use of
more machinery. Both new machinery
and the repairs for old tools will be
more costly next year and perhaps
hard to get at any price. Farm, Stock
and Home says, "One perfectly safe
bet for the future'is to take good care
of the machinery. Today it is probably
true that one-third of the wastage on
wornout machinery has been caused by
wear, and the remaining two-thirds is
the tear of weathering and inattention
to repairs." j

UEEEITY COADS
"Good roads should no longer be con
tide red as a local matter," aays J. W.
Anderson, local Oldsmobile distributor.
"Every stretch of new road has a di
rect bearing on the outcome of the
war. Every stretch of new road will
have a great deal to do with the prog
ress and prosperity of our United
States after the war s duration.
"The automobile is recognized as an
economic need of the time. Automo
bile drivers are without question the
most enthusiastic about good roads,
but every thinking person will quickly
recognize that good roads are beneficial
and necessary to the whole country.
"Mr. Hoover claims that food will
win the war. We believe hia statment
true, but there ia a powerfully big
question involved in the transportation
of the food. The government it is
known, is manufacturing ammunition,
guns of all kinds, air ships, subma
rines. This all means a transportation
problem. And after the war, supplies
of all kinds, food, building material,
almost everything one can think of
will need to cross the counrty to ships
that will carry it across the sea. The
railroads are inadequate to meet this
demand and carry ou the work of our
own country at the same time. We
already have thousands and thousands
of automobiles but lack the good roads
that would make that method of trans
portation efficient"
STANDARD OIL CO.
CONSERVING TIN
Each day war necessities are educat
ing the American people to new habits
of thrift This was pointed out today
by the local manager of the Standard
Oil .Co., G. W. Peffer, when he re
ferred to economies being made by his
company to help conserve the supply
of tin. Heretofore large quantities of
Pearl oil, kerosene, have been sold in
one and five gallon tin cans, but this
practice is being discouraged to save
tin. The same Pearl oil heretofore
sold extensively in tins is carried in
bulk by dealers and can be purchased
from them at a small money saving as
well aa at a saving in tin for the na
tion's needs.
So important is this matter of tin
conservation that it is the patriotic
duty of every American to conserve
the supply as far as possible, and one
way of doing this is to buy kereosene
and like commodities in bulk instead
of in tin cans.
Insurance for Soldiers and Sailors.
The act which provides for govern
ment life insurance for soldiers and
sailors bas now been in operation a
little more than a month, The secre
tary of the treasury announced on No
vember 17 that up to that date 64,168
applications under the new law had
been received, representing insurance
in the sum oi $552,039,000. From four
to six thousand applications are re
ceived each day at the treasury depart
ment, the amount of insurance applied
for sometimes reaching a total of 80
million dollars in a single day.
The law provides that soldier, sail
ors, marines and nurses in active ser
vice may obtain from the government
life insurance in amounts, not exceed
ing $10,000 at premium rates ranging
from 65 cents a month at the age of 21
years, to $2.10 a month at the ag of
51 years, for each $1,000 of insurance.
One of the primary objects of this
law is to lessen the tremendous, burdea
of pensions which has follow vdj aa a
consequence of all American wars.
it is evident that the administration
of this new branch of government work
is big business in itself. But this is
only one of many governmental actbtil
ties incident to the war which are ad-1
dmg great numbers of clerks, stanog.
raphers and other servants to, Uncle
Sam's payroll. Literally thousands of
stenographers and typewriters have
been appointed in Washington daring
the past few months iad thousands
more are to be appointed Bs soon as
they are available, the United States
Civil Service Commission ia holding
examinations for these positions week
ly throughout the country. Secretaries
of local hoards of civil service exam
iers at the postoffices in all cities are
furnishing detailed information.

TRUCK TALKS, No. 1.
The apple growers of Hood
River Valley have been talk
ing Motor Trucks morning,
noon and night during the past
several weeks, for the larger
percentage of the apple crop
was moved to storage and as
sembling warehouses on trucks
and therefore apple growers
are ready, wo believe, to listen
to sensible, sane and unexag
gerated Truck talks.
And that leads us to an
nounce that we have been do
ing some Truck thinking and
that thinking has lead to our
talking. The past Fall's expe
rience of orchardists is a pretty
safe indication to us that in
the future most of the apples
of the Hood River Valley are
going to be handled by Motor
Trucks. Not only apples but
most all other freight Any
kind of a standard Motor
Truck saves the operator time
labor
and labor, and time and
today mean money.
Now we are going to talk
about ourselves again. We
were not altogether altruistic
when we thought Motor
Trucks. We thought of our
selves. We looked around to
find a Motor Truck that would
produce the goods for the man
to whom we sold them, and at
the same time gives us a last
ing prestige for making the
sales. And now we exclaim
Eureka. We have found it !
The G. M. C. has stood the
test of time and the . vagaries
of all sorts of buyers from one
end of the country to the other
Thousands of American Mo
tor Trucks are answering the
transportation needs of the
conflicting armies on the Eu
ropean battlefield.
Today in the eyes of all Eu
rope the Motor Truck is a su
preme necessity its superior
ity over all other means of
transportation is unquestioned.
But there is another service
to which Trucks are dedicated
less spectacular, but equally
important.
Far from the smoke of bat
tle far from the general base
the industries of our Nation
pur factories, smelters and
farms are increasing produc
tion. -
This increased production
calls for better, quicker ser
vice, more efficient transporta
tion, and it's in this service
that GMC trucks are doing
their best work.
Carrying produce to our cit
iesgrains to our railroads
metals to our factories raw
materials to our mills saving
time and money, aiding the
railroads by leaving them free
for long hauls and full car
loads. Surely GMC Trucks are do
ing thtir bit.
