It may result in loss of valuable rights and privileges and immediate induction into military service. If a man is 4ti years old on registra tion day, Thursday, September 12, is he required to register'.' This is typical of many questions asked regarding registration require ments under the new draft law, which lowers and raises draft limits to in clude all men between the ages of l.w and 4f years, both inclusive. The answer to the foregoing question is "No." A man who is 40 years old on registration day, September 12, does n. it register. If, however, his birthday should come nil September 111, he will have to register, for lie would then be within the 4.") year age limit September 12.

'1 he only exceptions are men already in the mili tary or naval service. That is to say, every man who has attained his l8tfi birthday on or before Thursday, September 12, and has not attained his 4iith birthday by that date, must register unless he has already registered under the 21 to 110 year draft law, or is in the military or naval ser vice.

PACKING SCHOOL NOW UNDER WAY Impressn g on its members the indi cations of a shortage of labor in har vesting the apple crop, the Apple Growers Association has urged attend ance at the annual packing and grad ing school which legan Monday and will last for the week. Women, es pecially, are warned that their ser vices will be needed. It is expected that 90 per cent of the apple sorters this season will be women and gil ls. Nii.ety-five per cent of those engaged in packing pears are women. The sales organization charges a tui tion of $2.f0 for all resident students, while non-residents must pay $.". In both cases the money will be refunded when students learn the work and re main throughout the season in the em ploy of members'of the Assocation. "While we are assured," says A. W. Stone, "that labor is going to be scarce, everything possible to relieve the situation is being done. The United States governmenCJcmployment service will open an office here at the beginning of harvest season, and we urge alf growers to get in touch with them immediately. We 'irge that growers communicate with all who formerly worked for them at harvest time and try to persuade them to return." PACKING SCHOOL Numbers starting trainitiir Monday at the annual Apple Growers Association packing school were disappointing- and indicate a serious shortage of packers for the approaching harvest. With more than twice the number absent in the service, but 40 students registered the first day. All but six were women.

Gibson, in charge of prepara tions for th event, says the exhibits of corn, wheat and other grains to be shown at the aniiual county school fair Saturday, September 21, will be a rev elation even to local residents of the progress made in the fruit districts the A dead calm saved Udell from burn ing Saturday mo.ning when the plant of the Hood River Valley Products to. was fired, supposedly from a fruit evaporator. Without a breeze stirring, the merchants of the town and orch ardists of surrounding neighborhoods were almost bested in saving surround ing frame structures, the sides of which were scorched by the flames from the big wooden building. The plant, after extensive improvements a jelly making department having been added, had just been started on the season's run. W. Margullis, chief owner and man ager, was in Portland. Returning here Sunday Mr. Mari'iilis estimated his loj-8 in excess of $.5,000 with insurance of $2,500. He is negotiating for a building in the neighborhood of the former plant and plans to rebuild his concern. The plant of the Hood River Cieam ery, established mree years ago by a cooperative organization of orchardists, burned at Did o clock Sunday morning Tie adjoining quarters of the Hood Kiver Produce Exchange was slightly damaged and the contents of stored fruits and vegetables ruined by smoke. The origin of the tire is not known. The damage is estimated at $.j,ouo, in surance $1,000.

Wilson, son of a prominent pioneer family of The Dalles. The families of the pioneers will con vene at noon for a reunion dinner. The formal program will begin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Bennett Bros. Sell to Boardman R. B. and L. S. Bennett, publishers for the past six years of the Iluod Riv er News, Monday sold their weekly newspaper to E. L. Boardman, former ly Washington state printer and pub lisher of North Yakima papers. Mr. Boardman, who more recently has been interested in California newspapers, came here from ,Iis Angeles. Bennett Bros., both young bachelors, will register today in the selective draft. Miss Adrienne Epping has been ap pointed by Mr. Boardman as city editor of the News. Commenting on a recent editorial in the Glacier, the Oregonian said: The Oregonian finds reprinted in a Hood River paper, "for the benefit of apple growers," an advertisement from the columns of this paper, insert ed by the managers of the estate of the late Seid Back : "Hoppickers wanted for our Inde pendence (east) and Lope Sing yard at llopmere. Best of hops with clean grounds. Healthy sheds with electric lights each, running water, sawed wood free. Store on grounds for your convenience. You and your baggage hauled free to and from yards. Tents atJEotie Sing free for your use. Fam lies preferred, as they would prefer. Come with your family, thus to spend the vacation at the country and earn some money besides." There is the whole story, so far as the guaranty of comfort and whole some surroundings at hoppicking is concerned. It is an incident in the de velopment of the hop industry of Ore gon that at least two large yards are in the hands of Chinese or their Amer icanized descendants. They are all right. They are men of their word. The hoppickers who go there for vac ation or to make a little money, or for patriotic purposes, will not be disap pointed, for they will find everything as represented and they will get the money when it is due. But it is not the purpose herein to pay a tribute to the sound probity of the Chinese or to discuss the decline of hops as an industry, or to favor any particular yard or firm. It is to ask why more families do not accept the invitation made every year by the growers, and have a wholesome vaca tion at thejr expense? MERCHANTS HELP TO WIN THE WAR Local merchants have done much to help win the war. The merchants of Hood River made possible an advertis ing campaign to boost the War Savings Stamp campaign. Cooperating with the newspapers, these merchants bore a part of the expense of advertising. The last of these advertisements, a half page in size, was run in the pa pers week before last. Through an oversight, the names of the patriotic merchants were otnttted. Those who made possible the closing advertise ment of the merchants' series were: Frank A. Cram, Hood Confectionery Co., Arnold Grocery Co. alid Hermann Kresse. Forest Fires Are Out Fogs, enveloping the forest areas at tacked, have practically put an end to the M it' hells Point forest fire. The dense fogs, according to A. A. Laus niHiin, drenched foliage and vegetation as thoroughly as a downxur of ram,
