It's a Bad Sign
When goods are constantly offered "below cost" Some
thing must be wrong somewhere. Better make sure of
qualities before you invest your money in Shoes. If you
come here you'll find your purchases all right in every res
pect. Think that over.

Tomorrow is the shortest day in the
year and it with two more days, and
they are short, are all you have to do
that Christmas shopping in. From a
letter just received from C. F. Gray
and famiy, old Frankton residents liv
ing in southern Arizona, we learn that
it hasn't rained a drop there in the past
five months.
We have made about a dozen inquir
ies after news and the answers have all
been, "Yes, it rained." We called up
E. W. Birga, weather observer, and
asked him how much rain had fallen
and he said since Thanksgiving week
about six feet no, inches, so it has
rained some.

We understand that when the county
commissioners meet next week to con
sider the budget problem for the com
ing year that an effort will be made to
have some provision made for getting
the Hood River Volunteer fire company
boys to and from fires that occur out in
the country. Last year during the dry
season they responded to every call and
did splendid work in saving property
menaced by forest and other fires.
They are handicapped by not having
any way to get to these fires. We hope
that something can be done to help
them to help others.

Let's All Do Our Be to Make
this Christmas a Merry One. We Need It
While it is true we are at war, and both as a Nation and as
individuals we are pledged to our last drop of blood - and our
last dollar to win this war, and it is worth every sacrifice we may be
called upon to make. . This is Our War because it is for humanity and
Freedom against brutality, oppression and greed. Our country has ev
er been champion for the right, and it is up to each one of us to do all
in our power to prosecute this struggle to the end that right will triumph and brute
force will be wiped out for good and all.
At the same time there is no reason why we should ignore the Christmas Season.
Christmas means a great deal to the World and to Each One of Us.
Our Children Need a Merry Xmas
and it won t hurt the old folks, so let's all get busy and spread the Christmas spirit as far
as we can. The price of good cheer has not gone up; a pleasant word and a smile re
main at the old prices; the supply is unlimited and there is no embargo on the distribu
tion of these good things. Here is one line you are not asked to Hooverize in.

Thompson Discusses Potato Grading
Parkdale, Ore., Dec 18, 1917.
Editor Glacier: In regard to Mr.
Grampa' potato spiel, I quite agree
with him on grading. But I did not
know Mr. Grampa was so high an
authority. I thought nrohahlv hn had
reference to the potatoes he bought in
me upper vaney. nr. Mteuey bought
about $22,000 worth of potatoes in the
Upper Valley, and he told me he had
nokick coming on grading and ouality.
It is very.hard to grade when you have
nothing to grade from.
