L'ti The spirit of Or, go:i First has laiii tin:i hold on the men if this county who will handle the approaching Fourth l.iherty Loan drive, and every effort will he mail,- to place the Apple Valley within the first ranks uf Oier.on cuiin ties. At a i-a.II from Truman Butler, Hood U:ver county' representative on the Mate l.iherty Loan committee, ac.d K. I . Rlanehar, a.-sociated with Mr. Ulan ehar in the local drive management, JiM back fr. ilii a Portland conference, the following citizens met Friday night for a preliminary discussion of plans: William Stewart. A. W. Stone, Mrs. 1.. S. Ainsworth, members of the exec utive committee : Joe D. Thonuson, R. I!, Bennett and R. K. Scott, publicity committee. Mr. Scott has been named as executive secretary of the campaign. Mrs. Ainsworth lepresents the Wom an's cluh. The following district team caitains were appointed: K. F. Kllsworth, Cas cade Locks; George Callaway, Frank ton. M. 1'.. McCarty, Hood River; F. W. Rirgc, llariett; J. K. Feruusoii, Odell ; W. H. Ilo.ldy, I'pper Valley ; Or. W. U. Collie, I'me Orove; l. i.. 1'ieison, Oak lirove; F. A. Masee, Willow Flat; K. 11. Oreen, hoe; Frank Williams Wyeth. These men will meet with the executive committee Monday evening, August Jn, when the actual work ol preparing for the hif; drive will he set in motion. Tlie proKiseil voluntary plan of se curing suhsenpt ions tu the Fourth l.ih erty Loan appeals strongly to the local management. It is said that the plans will meet with the approval of orchard ists, who are expected in every in stance to answc the call of the com mittee and volunteer their respective individual quotas hefore the campaign opens. With October, too, will come the busiest season uf the year for the Hood River orchanliMt. because id' the shortage of pickers, it is exported that growers will be busier than usual t h it year and they will welcome the plan of completing the Liberty drive hefore the work id' harvest demands their at tention. The need of music for public meet ings attendant on the Fourth Liberty Loan drive will probably bruin Hbuut a revival of interest in the Hood Kivei hand, which has been inactive as a body of musicians for several years. The executive committee has railed for win tie HSKen in recruit instrument players of Ihti valley. Mrs. Ainsworth hii.H been appointed the head of a com mittee to arrange for vocal music. Li addressing Ins fellow workers at the Friday night meeting, Mr. lint It- r said he w ished thai every one present could have attended the Portland con ference and have imbibed the spirit that now rules the nation. "(Mir coun try has made paramount the business of winning the war," says Mr. flutter, "and all other tilings take second place." A number of things have not been definitely settled. The exact quota has not been received for the state, but it will reach approximately $h', 000, noil. Thus flood River county's quota will he double that of the Third Loan. A feature of the campaign here will be the mothers' parade, in which will march the mothers and wives of sol diers, and probably sisters. A promi nent speaker will be secured for tin' day. Mrs. Ainsworth will make ar rangements for this parade. At the August Uli meeting a repre sentative, from the central commit ti e will he sent here to confer with the local workers. The Hoy Scouts will be active par ticipants in the next drive. Their mas ter, 1). i. t'ruikrdiai.k, who is a mem ber of the executive committee having been with the boys on their outing at Lost Lake was not present at the meet ing last Friday night.

SCOUTS HAVE VERY PLEASANT OUTING Twenty -three members of the Hood River Roy Scouts, under leadership of Scout master Cruiksliank, returned Sun day from a weik's outing on Lost Lake. '1 he boys followed a daily mili tary schedule, reveille sounding each morning at ti.liu o'clock, followed by roll call, moss call and then assembly. Oespite the frequent rams and mists at the high altitude, Mr. t'ruikshank says the recreation exclusion was highly successful. The boys partici pated in scout games, picked huckle berries on Huckleberry mountain and swam in the hike. One night members of a party of girls from Odell were en tertaineil w it h a minstrel show. An other evening was devoted to enter tainment of troops of Odell Roy Scouts, visiting the lake under super vision of Scoutmaster fliickwall. A cougar hunt, in the heavy forests around the lake proved the sensation of the outing. While a party of the hoys were engaged in wigwagging acrosst he lake, dogs treed the big cat within oO yards of them. The cougar was a female with two kittens. The members of the partv were: Steven Roberts, Clarence Rarnetl, Leonard Thomson, Rut'us Sumner, I'm: I Sletton, Myron lloyt, Paul Huelat, lack Cram, liud and Ross Cooper, Clifford (ii'een, Russell Scohee, Stuart Heath, Waller Manv ille, Lavti n and V r..,- .,.'..

Mr. Cram says the citizens who furnished their automobiles have won the lasting appreciation of himself and the Scouts. Twice as many cars as wi re necessarv w ere volunteered for bringing the vacationists home. ASSOCIATION HONORED BY A. E. F. Y. M. C. A. GUAM) ARMY IX PORTLAND 1.0 VL CITY HONORS OLDUTERANS S.

Dixon, field worker for i the Salvation Army Overseas Fund. 'Although the Salvation Army was the ; first to undertake work among the ; armies of the allied rations, its work has received the least publicity. X In addition to mothering thebos I the following statistics represent other ' phases of their work : is motor ambu i lances manned by Salvationists; 111? j buildings placed at the dis"ml of the 'government for war relief purposes; . l'.IO huts built at camps ami used for ! religious and social meetings and for the comfort of the soldiers and sailors uf the Allies; -I.IHKJ beds in hotels near 1 railway stations and docks for sailors and soldieis going to and fn m the front; Iiiii.imki parcels of food and clothing distributed among the soldiers and sailors; 100, null wounded seliders engaged in Y. have been taken from the battle fields to the nearest hostpitals in ambulances ; of the Salvation Army. ! There are four reasons why the Sal- IvationArmy fund for nverr-uas work : should be supported. They are doing everything they can to help the boys forget the horrors of the trenches, seeking to take the moth ers' place in the boys' lives. The work is growing rapidly with the expanison of the army and they must have more means to provi4e more workers. (ien. 1'ershing, a military man, w 10 has no use for unnecessary organiza tions, wants them for work in the front line trenches. He is over there and sees that they are tilling a vital need. l'resident Wilson, Secretary Baker and i verrmr Wi'hyconibe heart ily endorse the work. The government According 1" a letter just received by the sa!es organization from F.lliott Co'nrey, supervisor of Y. M. ('. A. war activity in a district in France, The American Kxpeditionary Force Y. M. C. A. has voted to make the Apple (iloweis As soi iat ion, from which a carload of apples for distribution to soldiers frul been received, an honor ary member of the organization. A letter written by Mr. Conrey April 'Jo was received Monday by Wm. Irwin, of the fruit agency's sales de partment. In a note Mr. Conrey ex plained the delay as follows: "This letter wa lost during the ex citement of a certain event, add I have just found it in my luggage. The or ginal is in such delapidated condition that I am copying it as best 1 can. I might say that the incident 1 ;efer to was unavoidable and unforeseen." The surprise incident evidently was an offensive of Cicrman troops. Mr. Conrev says that he saw that every man in hi division received at least one apple. "You cannot imagine the joy those honest to goodness apples brought the wounded, and there wen.' humorous situations. A darky, mudcovered, when told that he had an apple coining could not leheve it. 'No sub,' the dusky soldier declared, 'they ain't gone a be then a seed lef. I'm gonna plant eh' one of 'em in mv bid I v. ' The Y. M. ('. A. man stated that less than five per rent of the apples donated by the Association arrived in bad condition, which is considered re markable following the long journey and rough treatment. Rv S. F.

The weather was perfect for marching regular Oregon weather. Broadway is a splendid marching street and the old veterans were in good trim and proudly stepped along with the old swing of the days of Y1. The line was one hour and three-. piartcrs in passing the rev iewing stand. The line of march was a little over one mile. Thousands of people lined the sidewalks and shouted their welcome to the llrand Army. It, might be said t here were hundreds of thou sands of spectators to view this last march of a National (Irand Army Kn campinent on the 1'acilir coast. The continuous- shouting was so lieree and loud the comrades in the ranks could not converse with one another. Hood River (irand Army people, Post and Corps, were in evidence. It was a great day for I'ortland, one not soon to be forgotten. R. 1!. LINDSAY DIES FROM INJURIES R. B. Lindsay, a pioneer orchardist of the Oak lirove district, suffered Is.uil ir juries last Sunday afternoon when his automobile turned turtle at the Ord.vay corner, where Avalun Way leaves Belmont road. Mr. Lindsay, a 'j ei (ill years, intended to slow up for the right angle corner, but instead of apply ing his foot to the brake pedal, he pressed down on the acoellerator. and the ear jumped forward and over turned. Mr. Lindsay was pinned be neath the machine. Two grandsons, Walter Reed and Louis A meson, accompanied Mr. Lind say. Roth were uninjured. By the time help was arriving, the boys, aged respectively Is and nine years, had dragged their unconscious grandfather from beneath the heavy weight.

He pointed out that the Y. M. C. A. hut, ' as a war-w inning factor was bringing 'about a new and closer relationship be tween the average male layman and the minister of the gospel, and that ieach would be benefited by the experi , ence.
