X. W. BONE TELLS
OF COLD WINTER
"Never have 1 see such a inter." I
a the way N. VV. Bone, who with I Is
wife returned Sunday niht from a two ',
t!jC;tbs' visit at Sprmfield. III., char-
actcrizetl the weather
he encountered
. in trie rruuuie west
; "We bad a week of fairly decent !
wthther aftr our arrival the first if;
; Iitcember," continued Mr. Lone. "ai,d
' then the lent(eralurc dropped to zer .
For the two nionth3 it ranged from
j :.ro to a:- low as "2u degrees tie low."
! Mr. Bone says the people tf Sprinu
' field had 1,0 coal ftjiiiie for the simple
; reasi that the community mine? an
j abundance of fuel.
' "But," he savs, "the roa! mires
! were operated only about a half of the
! time because of lack of cars. Vet the
j miners are making huie money. At
the prices they receive they make all
the way from .ft to $12 daily, and the
operators are jrettiiii; rich. The con-j
; burner, as it appears to the printftield
people, is the jroat.
i "Some tall hustling, however, took
place when (iHrtield ordered the five
days' shutdown on use of fuel in non
essential industries. The ruling went
! into etfect Friday. Sunday 1 happened
j to be sitting: at the window of an office
i overlooking the Chicago & Alton line.
1 1 was there 8i minutes and during that
time I saw six long trains, all coal,
I move by. While at Springfield 1 had
! occasion to make a journey -l miles
south on the t. & A. In that distance
I I bolseve 1 saw at least 2,000 loaded
1 coal cars on sidings and at haft spurs.
! No empty cars were to be had and not
a coal mine was operiting."
Mr. Bone, who was a grain dealer
; before entering the apple game here,
says that the government is now en
: paired in strirtHious effort to secure
sufficient seed corn for distribution
among middle eastern farmers.
"Coupled with a late spring," says
I Mr. Hone, "early frost stuck the corn
j belt last fall, and nearly all of the
corn was harvested soft. The grain is
I so damp that the cob cannot be used
: for fuel, and grain dealers order to
j prepare corn for grinding are finding it
necessary to nut in kilns. This condi
tion makes corn meal high.
"In every district representatives of
the United States department of agri
culture and county agents are corral
ing all dry stocks for seed. I heard of
one fanner, who resided near Spring
field w ho happened to keep over NKH)
bushels of old com. He sold it for
$7..ri0 per bushel for seed."
BUMPER APPLE CROP
IS LOOKED FOR
i With indications pointing to u bump
iercropof more than l,Oo(),o(K) boxes
i of apples the coming fall, growers are
j now confronted with the problem of
proper application of spray. More
than 100 skilled spray machine men
: havejieen called away in army or navy
! service, and it is feared that a. high
j percentage of fruit marred by disease
j pests or fungus may result unless
! measures are taken to train new spray
machine experts, I.eroy Childs pro
I poses a school for the instruction of
! new sprnymen.
Except for the cost of paper, which,
aciording to an announcement by A.W.
Stflin will be bought for one cent less
per pound than last season, all other
materials used in apple production will
cost more the coming year. Boxes, it
is said, will cost at least a cent more
than hist season, and while a shortage
will prevail in some districts, the As
sociation lias already placed contracts
for its members. The Association has
ordered 120 carloads of paper.
Facts About Mount Hood
(From the Oregon Voter)
How hiuii is Mount Hoot
und
how
far is it from Cortland?
Mt. Hood is 11,125 feet high and is
f0 miles from I'orlland.
Its height equals I.'! city blocks, a
I little over two miles.
It is 200 times higher than Mount
Tabor.
It is 500 times higher than the Yeon
building.
In an air line it is the same distance
from Portland as is Salem, the state
capital.
In bulk, Mount Hood is nearly 40
times greater than Tike's Teak, which
probably is the best-known of Ameri
can peaks, so fur as the populous east
is concerned, l'ike's Peak is 14,147
feet high, measured from sea level.
hut it rises only 8,000 feet, above the
level of the plains and only 4,000 feet
above the mountain plateau upon
which it rests. Mount Hood rises
11,140 feet above the Columbia river
at Hood Kiver, and it, 000 feet above
the valley floors to the Qountiiin.
Try your nierirprv--50 miles from
Portland and 11,125 feet high. He
member these figures this week ; next
week we will have some other figures
that will help you answer another
question asked bv everyone who visits
Portland.
Fuel Conservation Affects flood River
The Oregon fuel administration,
through the council of defense, has is
sued orders for all office buildings to
cease the use of fuel for heating ollice
rooms except in daytime. The fuel
conservation movement affects the fol
lowing Hood River buildings: Hall
building, Brosius building. Smith build
ing, Eliot huilding.First National Bank
building and Heilbronner building.
Where lower floors of the buildings
are occupied by business enterprises
that require night work the rule will
not be applied.
Showshoe Club Returns
Members of the Snowshoe club, after
t a six-day participation in skiing, snow
j shoeing and tohoganing in the great
I snow fields of Mount Hood, passed
through ncre Minuay atternoon en
route home. The men hiked down
through the national forest to Mount
Hood l-odge, where they had lunch,
and from that point were brought on
sleighs to Parkdale, where they caught
a rail auto.
The recreationisfs declare that the
snow fields, while the snow is not as
deep hs ordinary years, were in excel
lent shape for their sport.
Constant Sufferer Find Relief

SKINNER IN GAS
AND FLAME UNIT '
The S'th Emjireers, the only "fas I
and flame" unit in I'neie Sam's new
army, is seeku:' nitti to nil tfce rark

imist interesting branch cf the service, i
H. R. Skinner, of Hood Kiver, is a i
coritoral in Com
leaves with tin
any V ol tr.e j'th and
t.ext Unit for service
oveseas. Two companies of the 30th
are already in ai tion on the French
front, two more are leaving for the
front and the la.-t two companies of
the organization are nw being formed
at Fort Mer, Va.. just across the IV
tomac from Wa.hii:gton. 1. C, and
will see early service abroad.
The 30th is entirely a volunteer or
ganization and seeks red-blooded men
who are not afraid of getting some
real action. It is an offensive unit and
will see action in every offensive along
all parts of the front line. Opportuni
ties are offered for men of certain spe
cialized trades, although any able UkI
ied man from IS to 40 years of age can
find a place in the 3oth.
Among the specialized trades de
sired are "expert powdermen, electri
cians, pipefitters, sheet metal workers,
chauffeurs, truck drivers, auto me
chanics w ho are real mechanics, car
penters, blacksmiths, surveyors.drafts
men, mechanical and topographical.and
cooks.
Anyone who is within the draft age
can join the 3oth by writing or wiring
to the commanding officer of the ;ilth
at Fort Myer Va., asking induction
into the ;Qh Engineers. He w ill then
be inducted thr .utrh his local lioard.
Those above or below the draft age
can enlist by going to the nearest re
cruiting ollice and enlisting for the
30th Engineers.
LEU OVER SEEDS
MAY BE GOOD
By using the liest of vegetable seed
stocks left over from last stason a
good deal can be done to overcome the
present seed shortage. Seed prices are
going to be higher than those of last
year, and seed should be purchased anil
used with great discrimination. A. G.
Bouquet, head of vegetable gardening
at O. A. C, offers the following sug
gestions as to the use ot lett over
seed stocks :
Beets, cabbage, cauliflower, ruta
baga, turnips ami related plants may
grow well even if four or five years
old. Spinach does rtot give so good
results in the second and third years.
ToOatoes, peppers and egg plants are
uUlally good for three years ; squash
and pumpkins, five to eight; beans and
sweet corn three ; peas and lettuce,
three.
Onion, parsley, carrot and parsnip
seed usually should be fresh, although
two-year old seed sometimes gives
good satisfaction. Onions and parsnips
will not usually germinate more than
50 to 60 per cent the second year. All
of the shortlived left over seed should
be tested for germination.
The shortage may be further relieved
by estimating the amount needed be
fore purchase, buying good seed from
reliable dealers, right preparation of
soil for gerimnation, seeding at proper
time to avoid loss, and thinner seeding
m the rows so that fewer plants will
be wasted in thinning. The amount of
seed of various kinds required to plant
a hundred foot row are given in "The
Home Vegetable Uaruen, ISo. zi
prepared by Prof. Bouquet. Copies
may be had on request to O. A. C,
I'orvallis.
HIGH SCHOOL HAS
MILITARY COMPANY
The high school has adopted military
training, and the young men of the in
stitution will be drilled each Tuesday.
Both Supt. McLaughlin and Prof. G.
R. Mclntire have had military train
ing, and the newly organized company
of students will be commanded by
these faculty men.
The high school reports that all stu
dents have affiliated with the Junior
Red Cross. Girls of the institution
will engage in knitting and sewing.
Funds for the purchase of supplies will
be raised in part by the military com
pany, the members of which will wotk
atfer and before school and on Satur
days, turning over their earnings to
the Junior lied Cross fund.
Three Runaways Caught
All but starved and exhausted,
weary and footsore, Chester Snodgrass,
aged 14, and James and Willie Meyers,
respectively 11 and 12, were taken in
to custody Wednesday of last week by
Marshal Cnrson irtid Sheriff Johnson.
The youngsters ran away Sunday from
the home of the Portland Boys and
Girls Aid Society. The Meyers lads,
who formerly Iresided here, are broth
ers.
The youngsters, after they had been
fed to satiety by the officers and had
thawed out before the roaring stove in
the city hall office, declared that they
would be glad to return to the home.
They were Sent to Portland Wednesday
afternoon in care of the eortjuctor on
train No. 1. The runaways declared
that they had eaten but one meal from
Sunday noon until their feast Wednes
day morning.
Local Folk Attend Convention
The following people have been in
Eugene attending the annual state
convention of the Christian Endeavor
Union: Rev. L. G. Leavitt, pastor of
the local Christian church ; Esther N.
Davis, Misses Bessie Stevens, Mary
SarfiSel ami Catherine Baker. All are
prominent in the Sunday school work
of the church.
While away Rev. Leavitt attended
a conference of Northwestern Chris
tian ministers in Portland.
Pine drove Crange Plans Minstrels
Again the people of the valley will
be privileged to laugh, for the Pine
Grove grange next Saturday will give
another of those exceedingly comical
minstrel shows for which the members
of the grange are becoming famous.
The program will consist of pickaninny
stunts, a southern cornfield moonlight
jubilee, buck and wing dancing, fine
singing, good music by a six piece
orchestra and stunts.
After the show dancing will be par
tieipated in.
A Hint to the Aged
If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as soon
as they take cold and remain in bed
for one or two days they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger of the
cold being followed by any of the more
serious diseases.
