PAIGN LAUNCHED
I Hood River county's War Savings
Stamp workers for litll) were in con
ference at the Commercial club rridav
afternoon when Associate State 1 erec
tor Freeman, of Portland, presented
to the committee an outline of what
was expected from this county.
It was stated that the organization
is to be continued. Opportunities for
reminding people of the necessity of
lending surplus savings to the United
States government are to be employed
whenever and wherever possible.
Those who are able to buv LiberU
Bonds are not necessarily expected to
buy War Savings Stamps and those
who buy stamps may not lie expected
to buy bonds, Mr. Freeman said.
Organization of the county commit
tee was not completed owing to the
enforced absence of district represent
atives. C. H. Vaughan was chairman
with the following taking part in the
discussions: Mrs. C. E. Fuller, K. W.
Birge, R. U. I'erigo, S. .1. Moore John,
H. Mohr, (ieo. Callaway, A. M. Kelly,
of Parkdale, and L. B. "Cibson. The
ommittee was made acquainted with
the details of thisrvear s plan for fur
thering the propaganda ot thrift, and
upon completion ot the committee it
will report to state headquarters.
While Hood River county s quota is
not yet fixed, said Director rreemau
1 can say that it will be about halt of
last year. Hut, the quota is or less
consequence than the fact that there is
a thrift card in every family in the
county. The spirit and purpose of this
campaign, which is to be an all year
etlort, is to educate the people to adopt
habits ot thrift, lhere ate huge re
sources of cash throughout this country
which the government desires J to bor
row from small savings holders at 1
per cent interest. Our campaign has
as part of its objective the inculcation
of thrift as an antidote for bnlshevism.
From the sale of Thrift and War Sav
ings Mamps two billion dollars ot war
debts will be paid this year."
Mr. rreemau urged the formation of
small stamp saving clubs which have
been very successful elsewhere.
Mr. tjibson reported to the confer
ence the successful work carried on
among the school students in this
county.
MRS. YOUNG ASKS
CHAMBERLAIN'S AID
Having failed to secure a response to
appeals n.ade through the War Hepart

graphed Sentaor Chamberlain for aid
in locating her son, Glen Young, in
France with the medical corps. The
young man left Weiser, Ida., where he
was residing with a brother, Wallace
Young, July 22, 1918. He sailed for
France in August with Replacement
Unit 15 of the medical corps, assem
bled at Camp Lewis. The family has
not heard from the young man since
November and at the time of writing
his last letter he stated that he had
received no news from home after
leaving Camp Lewis.
On account of the health of the young
man's father Mrs. Young wrote several
weeks ago to the War Department,
asking for information and urging that
her son, seriously needed to take charge
of home affairs, be granted a dis
charge. To date her letter has gone
unanswered.

Hood River was originally scheduled
to play the Bend team for the district

of the pre-game conferences, left the '

had administered a licking to Bend and1
puzzled over the shouts ot looters in

II. R. CLUB WOMEN
ENTERTAIN HUSBANDS
Everybody was Irish Tuesday night
when (S.'i members of the Woman's club
entertained their S5 husbands at a St.
Patrick's dinner at the Odd Fellow's
hall. The leception of the club hus
bands is an annual event, usually
given just after New Year. It was
postponed this year because of the in
fluenza epidemic.
St. Patiick's green and white formed
the color scheme for the deroiutions.
The club wives and husband guests
were seated at Hi prettily arranged
tables. Chicken pie was the piece de
resistance of the three course dinner.
An address of welcome was delivered
by Mrs. Frank Howard, in charge of
arrangement for the pleasant 'event,
but the husbands were excused frr.m a
response. Following the sumptuous
meal the club women and their guests
spent the evening dancing and playing
cards.

FOR ALL FRUIT
Rl'MPER 1ELD F0K 1J19!KEDUTKD
Trees and ines Remaining Dormant I n
tl Late Date and Surplus Mois
ture Indicative uf Quality
Prospects for a heavy yield of high
class fruit, both apples and strawber
ries, were never bttter than at the
present time. Vhile the conditions of
the weather since January 1 have teen
such as lo make all orchard and farm
work later than in normal seasons, the
heavy precipitation, almost a foot, and
the temperature low enough to prevent
the swelling of fruit buds, growers
welcome the rainfalls on the lower
levels ami the hesvy snow blankets
that appear on adjacent rangesides.
The watersoaked earth and the as.sur
ance of a plentiful supply of irrigation
water indicate heavy fiuil yu Ids.
Orchards of ail diMiicts are reKrted
healthy. Fiuit spurs, by which the
grower is able roughly to estimate tne
season's yield even before blossoms
appear, are in abundance everywhere,
(.rowers are very busy at present huul
uig from Hood River and valley sta
tions of the Mount Hood line materials
for spray solutions. Within the next
week the exhaust i f powei spray ma
chines will be heard throughout the
vajlev as growers make an application
of oil sprays for the control of aphids
and "Similar pests. The oils will be
followed by the first application of
lime-sulphur as soon as apple tree
leaves reach the size of a squirrel's
ear.
For the past two years the yield of
strawberries has been cut short as a
result of late frosts. Willi plants still
in the dormant state, and the ground
watersoaked, indications point to one
of the best berry crops this year the
valley has ever prodine.l. Last vear a
total of 10(1 carloads was shipped from
here, liecause of heavy returns the
past season the acreage has been in
creased about 2o per cent. With the
increased acreage and prospects for a
heavy yield on the older tracts, the
total tonnage this season nu.y exceed
that of last by :Vt per cent. The berry
acreage of the 1 tee ami Parkdale dis
tricts, because of a shortage of labor
at harvest time the past, two years,
will perhaps be a little short this year.
The orchards of these two districts,
however, just coming into full bearing
for the most part, w ill yield more than
2.ri per cent heavier than last season.
While formerly the years of even
numbers have shown heavier yields
than those of odd figures, present indi
cations point to an end of this prece
dent this year. The total tonnage of
the valley for 191S exceeded 1,1(10,000
boxes. With the application of fertil
izers almost universally practiced now,
pre blossom estimates ot the r.tiu crop
place the total yield over the l,r00,ono
box mark.
AID IS SOUGHT
FOR BOY SCOUTS
Adult friend of the two Hood River
troops of Hoy Scouts have begun a
campaign to raise funds to provide the
lit young men with a pelinanent home.
The hall formerly occupied by the
S-outs, assembled for business meet
ings and drills, has been leased for
storage purposes. An annex of the
I'nited Brethren church, formerly used
as a gynasium, has been offered the
buys, provided they make repairs that
are badly needed. The business men
uf the city have planned to raise the
fund.
Hood River l'oy Scouts, by their
participation in patriotic activities
during the war, have won the high re

ACCIDENTAL SHOT
KILLS LITTLE BOY
Norman, the 1) year old son of Mr.
and Mr. Neis Nelson, was instantly
killed Sunday afternoon in Viento by
a shot from a pistol accidently dis
charged by his playmate, Tony Kvavle.
The two little boys ani a third play
mate were seated on a hod in a second
story room, inspecting the supposedly
empty revolver. In handling the weap
on the little Kvavle hoy pulled the
trigger, sending a bullet entirely
through his playmate's right breast.
The accident happened at the Kvavle
home.
The body of the child, known as one
of the brightest children of the Viento
school, was shipped by ('. ('. Anderson
to Portland Monday for cremation.

C. ,1. Calkins, just hack from a tour
of several weeks covering the larger
p.irt of the United States, declares
that the outlook ot the apple grower,
as well as allied industries such as his
own, was never better. Mr. Calkins
visited California, New ( trleans, Wash
ington, ISaltimore, New York city, Chi
cago and other cities, studying market
conditions and inspecting cider and
vinegar factories.
"While the general trend of business
creates a demand for fruit products at
profitable returns," says Mr. Calkins,
"the prohibition wave is going to be of
great benefit to the fruit grower. It
has already been demonstrated that the
consumption of fruit and fruit products
is much heavier in dry territories than
in those that are wet."
Mrs. Calkins accompanied Mr. Calk
ins on his tour of inspection.
Dr. Macrum is Optimistic
lr. C. A. Macrum, member of the
State Hoard of Horticulture, who was
here Monday from Mosier, declares
that never since he had begun the de
velopment of his orchard properties
was he so optimistic over the future of
the fruit industry.
"The orchardist is going to get good
rewards for his lean years of poor
prices and the burden of development,"
said Dr. Macrum. "I would not ex
change my orchard property for any
other real estate that 1 know of. Fruit
growers are going to receive handsome
returns this year. I look for a contin
uation of the business on such a basis."
