The following arcticle, taken from
the Boise, Ida., Statesman, tells of
Col. L. K. Holbrook, brother i f Mrs.
George Callaway :
Mrs. L. R. Holbrook has recently
received a series of photographs of her
husband, Colonel Holbrook. and his
regiment, taken upon their arrival in
F'rance, sent her through the courtesy
of Harris Dickson, the war corres
pondent tor Collier's, who accompan
ied her husband's regiment, the Sev
enth artillery, I'. S. A., and who has
recently returned to the United States,
one of his articles having appeared al
ready in the magazines.
One of the pictures represents the
colonel alighting from an airplane. All
the officers of the regiments, the
colonel writes, are obliged to make one
flight a day, with a pilot, in order to
accustom themselves to making obser
vations of the enemy. A F'rench pilot
accompanied Col. Holbrook in all of
his Ilights, he wrote.
In a letter written on thanksgiving
day the colonel Bays:
We had a very hountitul ilinner to
day. I'ncle Sammy sent turkeys and
cranberries for all the soldiers - almost.
but incidentally we had geese in our
regiment. Unfortunately about half
of them were spoiled, but we hail
plenty to eat, u'd the same, and al
though we could hear the intermittent
thundering of cannon and beyond the
horizon, all was cairn and peaceful
chez nous.
"When I returned home tonight I
heard many of the men singing in
their billets and in the cafes, but all in
good order, and 1 was glad they were
so happy. My regiment has behaved
so beautifully in all the hitlets we
have been in that 1 almost hate to
speak about it without striking wood,
for the boys (and they are boys) can't
always be so good. They have helped
the old people thresh out their grain,
always with flails and hand power ma
chines, split and pile their little stores
of wood for the winter, put away their
vegetables and haul the manure from
the streets.
"In this way we have always gotten
in the good graces of the inhabitants,
and they have always expressed great
regret when we have left, although
they looked at ua with mistrust upon
arrival. Inhabitants have tokl me that
niv solderis have acted better than the
French, and since arrival at my winter
billets we have had but one single case
of a drunken, disorderly solider, and
he was an old offender that I canned at
once.
"Yesterday 1 move out of my bat
talions to another town farther away,
the town formerly occupied being so
filthy and unsanitary that it was con
demned. The creolin placed in latrines
spoiled the drinking water in thi
wells, so goes the native complaint
and the water test was something aw
ful. But somehow vto pulled through
and have had no serious results from
the bad water. We don't boil it, but
nut tubes of chlorine in it, which is
said to be perfectly effective. Tb
new town is much cleaner than the old
one, wider and less muddy streets, and
more room for men and animals.
"Tell the bovs that many of the
French children, many of them smal
ler than Kov, are taking the places of
men in this war. Many a night at
dusk, in returning to my billets, 1 have
seen these poor little fellows standing
in the cold rain, herding the sheep and
cattle to the last minute of day light
before driving them home for the
niirht. At railroad crossings little fel
lows smaller than Roy take charge of
the gates and close them for protec
tion against passing trains, and hold
the responsible positions of their fath
ers. who are at the front.
"In the camouflage factories their
nimble fingers tie the bands of grass
about the chicken wire and carry ma
terials as busily as bees in a hive. By
the way, the grass 1 tied the Christ-
Bias packages wun is camounage
crass.' in reality strips of palm leaves
imported from Madagascar and dyed to
correspond to the several colors ot tne
ground. Thousands of women work as
1 have never seen human beings work
before, painting canvas, etc., about
which I will tell you when 1 get home,
but the tricks of camouflage are be
vond anything you can imagine and 1
am hardly at liberty to Bay anything
about this work. Fivery where we see
the sitrn of caution. 'Taisez Vous.
Metiez Vous. Les Oreifles des ennemi's
vous ecoutent.' The Boche spv sys
tem, even here, is really remarkable,
and the above sign is a good caution
arv measure.
"It is nearly midnight, and I must
close, as I require every officer to be
early in the saddle. 1 am putting the
screws down tight, and every man will
at least take home the remembrance
that he once served in the 'Seventh
and that the 'old man led them a mer
ry chase."
In his Christmas letter the colone
savs :
"My command is in three towns,
nd between times I have attended the
early Christmas trees that we got up
for the poor little refugee children and
for the others here, and we gave them
the most happy Christmas they prob
ably have ever known. In this town
we spent at least 2000 francs on about
60 children, giving them shoes and
sweaters and sabots, in addition to
candies, nuts, etc.
"The Christmas tree was placed out
in front of the church, and the village
cure handed out the presents. The
band played, we did a few stunts, and
a little boy delivered a recitation, of
which 1 will send you a copy, and to
which I replied in my best French.
"I visited my 'far away' battalion
today, and was present for the. Christ
mas tree, which 'vas even more elab
orate than here. A little Krench girl
about nine years old recited, and again
'mon colonel' had to respond.
"Never in this world will these poor
little children forget the Christmas we
gave them. Officers and enlisted men
contributed liberally, and did every
thing to make the affairs a success and
the tine feelinir produced cannot be
overestimated.
"You don't know the comfort you
have given the soldiers by the sweat
ers and socks. They will help to keep
them well. The government simply
cannot supply the demand."
Mrs. J. H. Shoemaker last week re
ceived an interesting letter from her
nephew, Ivan Sturdivant, a member
of the naval medical corps. The young
man, who had just returned from a
tour of Oriental waters, wrote as fol
lows :
1 am in the best of health and weigh
174 pounds. Believe me, 1 can whip a
couple of GermansJmyself.J
We just came back from Russia last
week. On our way back we were in
Korea, Japan and Honolulu. I have
made several trips to Honolulu, but
the rest of the trip was new to me and
1 enjoyed it very much.
hile in Kussia we were able to see
i hear lots of their conditions and I
will say that it is no wonder they do
not care to fight. Along the miles of
water front in Vladivostok you can see
tons and tons of material and foods of
all kinds going to waste. Also there
were four Bhips in the bay and they
could not find any place to land their
cargo. The whole thing is that their
railroad is no (rood and they haven't
enough power to take any of the ma
terials east to the battle front. 1 do
not think that Germany will gain any
ground by taking Russia because there
is no food nor guns for them there.
We were a month in Japan and while
there 1 made several trips inland. 1
do not like Japan for it is too dirty.
We were in Nagasaki ( hristmas and
New Years.
Honolulu is a very fine place and 1
enjoy our trips there. We always go
in swimming ttiere and it is great
It is very hot there and is about the
same all the year around. It is a very
interesting trip around the lslaud and
among the large plantations.
I am in the medical corps. After
this next trip I will be a sergeant.
That is one rank under Glenn. 1 sure
am glad to know that he is doing so
well.
Van W. Gladden, member of the 20th
FIngineers regiment aboard the Tus-
cania, was one ot the last ot the sur
vivors or the torpedoed transport to
eave the sinking wreck. The engin
eer, now billeted with the lamily ot
the grammar school teacher of an Irish
village, in a letter to his brother, Geo.
C. Gladden, tells of his experience.
"We were Btruck about six o'clock,
he writes, "and all of us at the com
mand of ollicers, rushed to deck, leav
ing all of our belongings behind. I
was on an upper deck and was detailed
to assist with the lowering of life
boats. For three hours 1 was engaged
at my post, and I was still there when
the last destroyer put ort rrom the side
of the sinking ship with its load of
resuced. By means of a rope 1 reached
a life raft. Later we aboard the raft
were picked up by an open boat. It
was seven o'clock next morning when
we were picked up and landed.
"While I wa as tit as ever, as far
as concerned my physical self, within a
few hours after 1 had been ashore, the
imprint of that disaster will rest on
my mind forever.
"The welcome of the Irish people t(
us soldiers of the United States is one

The Irish have done all in their power
to comfort us.
The Red Cross Chapter daily receives '
letters from soldiers who have passed
through here and have received apples
that are distributed to all troops. Last
week a letter from Private R. B. Wal
do, en route to an eastern cantonment,
compliments the canteen committee i
is distribution of gifts. Private Waldo
writes:
"This iR to thank your organization
for your cordial and liberal treatment
of those aboard our train. We have
been well treated all along the line,
hut hardly as well at any other place
as at Hood River. I wish especially to
compliment you on the way. in which
you distribute your gifts. At many
places they were .simply placed on the
first car, which is of course convenient,
and those of other cars do not get any
thing." E. S. Olinger last week received a
letter from his son, Winfield Olinger,
who enlisted last fall in the aviation
corps, announcing that the young man
hail been selected from a claas at Kel
ley Field, Tex., where he has been sta
tioned for some time, to attend a mo
tor school at Pittsburgh, Pa. The
young man's training will last six
weeks, after which he expects to be
sent to F'rance.
Mr. Olinger, formerly in the stock
businae. declared that he was much
pleased with his army work. The sight
of the maneuvering aeroplanes, he
stated, was one never to be forgotten.
"Throughout the day," Mr. Olinger
stated in his letter, "the heavens are
filled with flying machines."
Mrs. G. L. Schetky, of the East
Side, last week received a letter from
her son, Bernard, who is in training at
an aviation camp at Fort Sam Hous

RED CROSS SPELLING
BEE PLANS OUT
The most unique method yet dot ised
by the Hood River Chapter of the Red
Cross to raise furids for the purchase
of supplies, to be manufactured by the
women of the chapter into surgical
dressings, hospital materials and knit
ted garments, will be carried out on
the evening of Saturday, March 2;?, at
the high school auditorium. The citi
zens of town and surrounding rural
communities will meet to participate
in an old fashioned social anid sjielling
bee.
These arc the plans, as announced by
the Red Cross spelling bee committee:
Everybody meet at the high school
at ti.30 o'clock. Each woman will bring
a basket containing a Hoover lunch for
two, two cups, two small plates and
two spoons. Her name, on a slip of
paper, must be included in the basket.
Coffee will be served by the committee.
Each man is expected to purchase one
of the lunch baskets for 50 cents, and
then he will eat his lunch with the
owner. Immediately following the
lunch Judge Wilson, of The Dalles,
will appoint captains, who will choose
sides and the spelling bee will begin.
No one will be asked to enter the
contest, against his wishes, but the
committee has several surprises to
spring, and all are asked to come early.
The entertainment will close with a
post-mortem discussion of words that
may be spelled different ways and a
short informal dance.
The committee in charge of the
spelling bee is as follows : H. A.
MacDonald, chairman, Dr. C. H. Jen
kins, Mrs. LeRoy Taft, Mrs. R. D.
Gould and C. D. Hoyt.

see the Snow-F'orden Motor Co. give
its successful Samson tractor demon

demonstration, the Samson (lid more
than was expected of it. The sieve

LAND PLASTER
SHOULD BE APPLIED
tBy Gordon G. Brown)
The use of land plaster is becoming
an established practice in llwm Kiav
valley. In most cases its use upon
either clover or alfalfa haB proved ben
eficial. During the last two years the
local experiment station has been test
ing this fertilizer and marked increase
have been secured over the unfertilized
heck. The grower is urged to keep
clearly in mind that this fertilizer is
not used to correct acidity of the soil,
however, and should therefore not con
fuse the same with limestone. The
former is a form of limestone that hits
been treated with Bulphuric acid and
therefore in applying same to the soil
there is no possibility of its correcting
acidity as is true of limestone.
There are few soils in the valley
where the use of limestone is required.
This is especially so in our orchard!.
The apple is more or less indifferent to
slight amounts of soil acidity and the
use of land plaster should be made
where necessary with the idea of stim
ulating shade crop growth.
The use of (lowers of sulfur at the
rate of 200 iounds to the acre has alan
proved profitable in this valley. Since
it is higher in price ami gives no better
results than land plaster the latter is
recommended. The continued use of
sulfur may tend to create soil acidity.
Tests bearing upon this point are being
made. In the meantime the grower is
advised to use land plaster at the rate
of 101) pounds to the acre and to apply
same immediately, a second applica
tion made after the first cutting he
been tested and while slight increaaea
have been secured over the one appli
cation, the difference was not suffi
ciently large to warrant its being ap
plied twice. Elither the Oregon land
plaster or the Utah land plaster is
recommended.
