The young man states that he is'savingas a souvenir a piece of a boirft shell that fell within "5 feet of him recently. A portion of his letter follows : "1 am well and happy, under war conditions, doing my bit without a gamble. The weather here is ,ust between rnifl and sunshine.

Miss Kdfth Woodcock, a talent ed pianist from Portland, played three selections which were much ap preciated. The next meeting of the club will be on Wednesday, March 13th. The regular business meeting will be held, followed by a program with Mrs. K. J. Nicholson presiding. The topic for the afternoon will be "Woman in Humanitarian Work." Milk Shortage Hits Here A milk shortage prevails in Hood River. Numerous families have been placed on milk rations by their deal ers, the milkmen say they are unable to buy cows. The Oregon hotel is unable to se cure enough milk to supply patrons Hnd has advertiwd for supply, COMMUNITY MEN HOLD MEETING Those interested iu. community, or po-opertive fruit packing, held an in teresting meeting recently. Reports were given showing com parative costs for the last Circe years. These included cost of la'Jin , paper and hauling. Since .dighCy (WHerent methods are used, tin? coin parisons are valuable and good in- iorniation is received by those who 'iave actual costs to which they can refer. The labor item is a big iues I tion in our harvest. The community ; IjOtise is a great htdp here, ?.s it elim inates bidding against one's neigh bor for labor, and is really beiCr for the workers. The community house bsmiUv has belter conditions limit r which to work than the average small grower, and it is a longer job, ana probably better organized. C. W. McCullagh gave an nit 'r at ing description of the large packing plant at Zilla in Yakima Valley, Wash. This plant is considered the n ost perfect of its kind in existence. It should be remembered that the greatest of all reasons for ctic'Mir.v ing community packing is "int It will do more to standard ',-., the grade and pack than any. other one lolicy can do, and a really st 1 1 li'd grili, will probbly do s much !o help the priced we get for our apples as Hnv.'hing we can do.

We do not get to stay lonp in a place so we do not tire of the sameness of an old home. When we came to France an American was aa odd sight and was given a close once-over. The French examined our clothes very closely, ask ing the English name of each article and trying to repeat it after we had told them. Now American soldiers are no less welcome by the people, but are so numeruiii that they are no long er a novelty, except in towns quite a distance where we sometimes go Sun days to see something new ourselves. Car fare is so cheap that one can ride an hour for nine cents. Out in some of these towns American soldiers Hre still a strange sight and receive the glad hand and are welcome to their town and homes for dinner. Hut they think, because we are from the United States, that we all have plenty of money. Wooden shoes are worn by everybody for home and out door work. Well, John has been detailed to kitchen work and likes it very much on account of the liberty that's at tached to it, most of the afternoon off and one day a week. I have the sftirie kind of a job 1 had at Vinetette, head carman. Have bad pretty plenty of work lately. The following letter was received lust wee) from Henry Sieverkropp, w ho is attending the Kane Automobile school at Kansas City, Mo: "1 am receiving my paper regularly now. The first numbers gut mixed or lost, as there are so many registered letters, telegrams and questionnaires coming to the students here at school that it keeps the school postmaster on the run to take care of them. "1 am enclosing a picture of the school. It is located two blocks east of the new union station in the edge of a city park. The building is all con crete, with big windows on all sides. The school was established in l'Jtib' with one master and 11 students. Last year there weie !5D4;5 students and now there are 10IU. Iots of the boys here are taking this training in auto trucks and aeroplane mechanics as they ex pect to go to France, as hundreds of the other students are doing, to serve their country. That is the reason there are so many here now. There are stu dents from every state in the Union but the New Kngland states. I also noticed a hunch of Japs onwday in the welding department. I was toM that there were more in the other depart ments. Negroes are not allowed to come here. "One of the good features of the school is that it maintains a students' hank, (jstoHire, emplyoment bureau and one 'tiouble .shooter' or as some of the boys call him, 'Big Brother,' It Is his businss to visit the sick and to look out for the welfare of everybody who attends the school. He also has to make arrangements for the Sundisy af ternoon vaudeville and lectures which the school furnishes free. The lecture Boom, senting about i(K), is packed to the walls every Sunday. There are Hi departments in the school and every branch of the automobile industry is taught at this school, including aero plane motflo, Students live in private homes near the school. "I had quite a surprise the other dav' evening. Walking down to the Union station 1 bumped into my old friend, W. W. Cochran, of Hood Kiver. He is also here at school. We board at the same rdace. so we have lots of talks of The use of tobacco by our troops in i Hood Kiver apples, etc. Iy the way, the trenches plays no small part tn the Hood River Delicious apples cost us conservation of food, say marine corps i here two for 15 cents. officials, who estimate that from 25 to ; "The weather has been 35 above to .10 per cent of food is saved daily in i 18 below zero through the whole month tnis manner. While authorities admit the deteri mental influence of narcotics, they as sert that tobacco relieves the nervous tension of soldiers who are under con tinual shell fire.

Lock man Tuesday received a letter from their, son, Aus tin, member of the 2oth Engineers regiment aboard the Tuseama, who states that he is now stationed at an Irish camp near Belfast. The young engineer does not describe his experi ences of rescue from the torpedoed steamer. "1 saved my razor, trousers and a sweater from the wreck," he writes, "that was all. We are enjoying beautiful weather here now. The Irish people gave US great welcome, doing all in their power to tmike us comfort able." Mr. and Mrs. II. J. Frederick last week received a letter from their son, Milo Frederick, member of the British Royal Engineers now engaged in in land water transportation service in Italy, whose message had been sent across the Atlantic in care ot a young American officer. The letter was ac companied bv a note from the officer. who asked Mr. and Mrs. Frederick to reply to him at Brooklyn, N. Y., and that he would deliver their message on his return to Italy in the near future. Young Frederic told his parents that he had visited Rome, Naples, Genoa and other Italian cities and that his British service was very educational. R. W. Kelly received a letter Mon day from Chas. I". McCan, who stated that he was in an Italian hospital suf fering from a wound in one of his legs. Mr. McCan, who fnr a time was a chauffeur in the French army, later engaged in the Work of reconstructing French villages. In his letter to Mr. Kelly he announced that he had been comjnissioned as first lieutenant in the American aviation corps. Mr. and Mrs. S. B.

I've only met one man who admitted that the climate was bum. He said 'we have no cli mate here.' I think he was right : at more i least, I am going to take his word for that. When 1 get through here 1 am not going to look for climate or scen ery, but take the Pacific Coast Limited for Oregon." Wanna Circle, a club of h ' vo meii of the neighborhood just5C en of town, gave and enjoyed a vop pleasant soi tal event Thursday .".cu ing at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J.

It goes without saying that the club women know how to cook ano the Hooverizlng noticeable was of i lie Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sprat variety. The Circle is fortunate in having two splendid elocutionists, and Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Benson each recited a pleasing and appropriate poem vvrinen by some friends of Mff. Fields. The Doctor's Yirtrola gave a splendid recital of some especially line records. A guessing Contest arranged by Mrs. lieason, president of the Circle, resulted in a tie, but the knot was untied without the help of a divorce court and Mrs. (Ilauville won the prize box of candy, which was at once put into circulation. As before suggested, this was the echo of Dr. and Mrs. Williams' gold en wedding. They were married at West Irving, Iowa, February 27, llP'.S, and have lived happily ever since, .lust before the meeting dispersed, Mr Marsh took a "daw'' from Mr. Evans and they each followed the old custom and kissed the fair bride.
