L. . only as late as four eara ago, hens have been so numerous in -the Hood kiver valley the past year thatdealers have found it unnecessary to import eggs to supply the local demand. In deed, many cases of eggs have been shipped out of the valley the past win ter. Eggs are being expressed to i I'ortland now at the rate of 40 cases 1 weekly. j Five weeks ao years relatively few orchardists had chickens. In the early jdays it was considered "the thing" for I an orchardist to buy his epts as well as hi8 butter and vegetables. The i orcharuist was too much engrossed in the development of his trees to devote any time to such farmlike occupation Ms milking a cow, hoeing potatoes or feeding chickens. The old order has vanished, and the urchardist today who doesn't occasionally visit the grocer with his egg basket, or the creamery with his can, is an exception. For merly the grocers advertised "strictly fresh eggs frrm lone." Today the home-laid egg is ottered exclusively. While most orchardists raise chickens for eggs and a fowl for the pot occa sionally, a number of fruitgrowers have specialized, and successfully, on prize-winning strains. E. F. liatten, orchardist of the Fast Side, has annually takeiblue ribbon awards at the I'ortland shows. He has won a reputation on Khode Island Heds, and several of his fowls have been shipped to Austraiha. He is known thcoughout America for his fine rod chickens. Sherman J. Frank has k,o ru in for laying strains of White Leg horns. lespite the war he has im ported fowls from the famous Tom liarron pens in England. A pen of his hens won a record in a laying contest at 1'ullman last year. Mr. Frank says: "I have found that poultry raising, if the fowls are given a moderate care, w ill pay well in the Hood Kiver valley. The climate is adapted to raising chicks. It will pay big for the orch ardist who con grow the larger part ot their feed." The city residents, since the war spread the slogan, "more food," have gone into poultry 1 aiding extensively. Scores of families have their own fresh laid eggs. Among the men starting small city poultry yards the past year have been C. Dethman and A. J. Uerby. APPLE OUTLOOK GOOD SAYS DAVIDSON Davidson considers that he made his on record when he sold lien Pavis on Eirie I'ier at .50 per box. Mr. Davidson says there is a Mpular demand on the part of the people over the east to have the American soldiers returned home as soon as possible. "They feel Uat America perfomend her righteous duty," he says, "when she sent across her best voting men to lick the bun and sweep back bis heel from the smaller nations he was crush ing. And while thev express the most ; sincere willingness for the soldiers toi go back and participate in such a task again, now that the present job is over I they want the boys home." BIG NAVAL BAND TO COME HERE KELLY BROS- Distributors. Phone 1401. While the Hpple export business has been limited as a result, of the lat": lifting of the British embargo last fall and the uncertainty confronting ship pers, exporters have never real zed better values than during the past winter, according to II. F. Davidson, who has specialized for the past sever al years on exports. "The future looks bright for the ex port trade," says Mr. Davidson, who returned Tuesday from New York, where he spent the past four months engaged in exporting approximate!) 150 carloads of fruit, "but HoLihevism is a fly in our ointment. We have be fore us a phenomenal season for l'.M'J, provided European countries become settled anil get around again to a nor mal basis. Yet we fear a spread of the chaotic conditions that now con front European countries." The first exports made by the local shipper went to'Nortvay. A heavy percentage of his exports have been sold to other North European coun tries. The fruit that went to England was of a gra.'e that would have sold at the lowest figures on domestic mar kets. Fruit sold on English markets at from $1.70 to $5 per box. "All apples, of whatever quality and grade at first sold for $4.70 per box, the maximum pi ice under the price fixing of the British Food Administra tion," Fays Mr. Davidson. "Hut many shippers were dissatisfied with the limit of weight fixed on a box of ap ples, claiming that their packs entitled them to a greater weight. The food administration then granted the option of sales at a per pound basis or by the box. Where the pack weighed more than the avenige granted, the shipper chose the pounds basis, thus securing the higher price. Trans - Atlantic freights, at first exorbitantly high, declined to 85 cents per box. No cold storage space was available the past year, because the government made use of all of it in getting meats and other perishable foods a ross to the army. In proportion to the return of our troops home, just so fast will hot ter shipping facilities be available. However, it has not been as diflicult to secure space the past season as we had anticipated. While offerings were not liberal, they were plentiful for the stocks we had to get across." While the profits have been such as to net growers handsome returns, Mr. Davidson ssys the expense of exporting this season has been the heaviest he has ever experienced. Formerly apples were lightered to ships from piers free of chaige. This year, except for a negligible quantity, they had to have them carted, at heavy charges, to the docks. This increased the handling charge about $(10 per car. The fruit sold in the North European countries brought from $3 to $4 per box. ! Mr. Davidson is very sanguine over domestic markets remaining on a sta ble basis. Many smaller cities, he says, that never in any former year purchased carlots of apples, bought in the large quantities this season. Ihey will continue this practice. The ex porter confirms the statements of nu merous other shippers who have recent ly returned from the east to the effect that prohibition will stimulate apple consumption. He expects a dry natiwn to be a great boon to the fruit indus try. Where the saloon once thrived, fie says, the fruit stand will come into prominence. Chief Petty Officer Flank R. Spatil ding, son of Kev. Frank Spaulding, here Tuesday in the interest of a naval liHnd, organi.ed from the best musi cians in the navy from the 14 states west of the Mississippi, met w ith a rousing welcome. Mr. Spaulding pro pose to firing the band, with its 40 plHers, to Hood Kiver for a two days' slay. As the naval musicians will likely reach Hood Kiver in late June or early July his proposal has started a movement for a strawberry festival to be held simultaneously with the visit of the band. Mr. Spaulding, who says the organ ization of musicians, with headquarter at San Franicsco, will rival that of John I'. Sousa, noted band leader, at the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta tion, left Tuesday night for Oaksdale, Wash., for a brief visit with his father. He will then proceed to Spokane and Seattle in the interest of the naval band's tour. Mr. Spaulding has three brothers in the service. They are known an the fighting Spauldings. Lee, the young est, was the first Hood Kiver boy wounded in France. With the marines at Chateau-Thierry, one of his knter was sha'tered by a hun machine gun bullet. Hut he fought on and won a distinguished service cross. The other two brothers are still in France, Olin H., with an aviation squadron, and Earle M., with the lHth Engineers. Seek Cooties in Inderworld Cootie, cootie, who's got a -otie? That was the hue and cry raised around Universal City when Director Allen llolubar was staging "The Heart of Humanity," Dorothy Phillips' lat est mammouth feature. A cootie wa: desired for a closeiip. I.!ut there were none. Finally Holubar called up a police reporter friend of his and nskeil th:it the city jail fie combed for a possible "pants rabbit." Vagrants, drunks and sneak thieves were searched, and the result was not one cootie but more than two hundred. Director Holubar whs able to conduct a competitive tryuiit to determine which insect was best qualified for the stellar role. It is around the cootie that one of the most humorous incidents of "The Heart of Humanity was depicted. This great picture of Love and war will be shown at the Liberty next Monday and Tuesday. Horse Sale Phenomenal "I am getting well along in years and have seen inanv horse sales and trades," says Dr. M. E. Welch, "but never in all my life have 1 seen such easy sales of horse fleKh as Holman & Nash Northwestern dealers who have been purchasing army horses for sale to ranchers, have just made here." These men, says Dr. Welch, sold two carloads of animals, 40 head in all, to local orchardists without ever hitching up a single one of the animals, A few mules were in the two cars. "I do not believe that such sales can be repeated anywhere else in the United States," savs D'. Welch. j F.'.eiv Hood Kiwr sold. or. sailor ai d marine returned hoiin f"m service has i-" inxited to brirg his wife o,r sweetheart, and fattier and iitteni! a ; banquet and dance to be gnen m honor of the service men Saturday night by I the mothers i t Hood Kiver alle.

Hell. Mrs. L. N. Mlow ers, Mrs. ( . f. Sherreih, Mrs. A. H. Kerry, Mrs. A. ti. Lewis, Mrs. Minnie Voi der Abe and M.s. W. r. Cooper. The committee states that it may be liossiidc that some of the returned sol dier will not secure invitations. "Thre are so many of the boys," says Mis. Lofts, "that we may not get some i-f their naines, but we want H understood that every one of them is wanted and must come with his wife, or sweetheart, and father, whether he gets one of the formal invitations or not. We will not like it if anyone sta s away. " HOSIER ROAD BAD Victory Loan Plans to Be Made Truman Htitler, who has been made chairman of Hood River county for the coming Victory loan drive, accompan ied by E. O. Klanchar. will spend Fri day in Portland conferring with other bankers of the state on plans for float ing Oregon's quota of the big loan. Hood Kiver county plans for the drive will be rushed on the return of the bankers. Mrs. E. I). Kanaga, chairman of the Woman's committer for this county, will attend a conference of women in Portland Friday. Mrs. F. P. Bone Dies in Illinois C. R. and Noah W. Hone last Friday received a telegram announcing the death on that day of their mother, Mrs. F. P. Hone, at her home at Springfield, 111. Mrs. Hone, who was 00 years old on November 4, I'.llH, has frequently visited here with her sons. Mrs. Hone's last visit here was in 1912. She had a host of Hood Kiver friends who will he grieved to hear of her death. Several Cases of Smallpox Here "Get Vaccinated," has been a fa miliar slogan here. While County Health Officer Edgington does not an ticipate any spread of the disease from four cases reported from the Heights residence section, he is advising that all citizens be vaccinated. A9 a result of exposure to some of the students of the city schools, many of the boys and girls are nursing sore arms from vaccination. Grand Master Seltlcmier Coming The Hood River Masonic Lodge will convene in special meeting next Fri day night to meet F. W. Settlemier, While the scores of motorists who arrive daily ever the Columbia High way report the road between here and Portland in excellent shape, the old road over the mountain between hero and Mosier is universally condemned. As a result of heav y tratlio last sum mer and fall ami little repair, the old route is all but impassble in places. Several parties of motorists, attempt ing tho drive between here and The Dalles at night, have become hopeless ly stuck in the mud and have been forced to spend the chill black hours wrapped in their motor robes awaiting the (lawn. "The Columbia Highway," says C. P. Koss, who with his wife accompan ied Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Graham here by automobile Situruay, "is certainly fine. We left Portland at 1(1. HO. We stopped an hour at Cascade. Locks for lunch, and we reached Hood Kiver at. .'.15. not tin The roads were tine, le:ist trouble." and we had "THE HEART OF III!- The Liberty gets them quick. Indeed, that is a motto of Arthur Koltsad, the local moving picture mag nate. Mr. Kolstiiil knew that "The Heart of Humanity" would appeal to Hood Kiver people. So he decided that he Would rush the local release. As the result of his effort s, the phe nomenal picture show vill play here simultaneously with its appearance in Portland. "The Heart of Humanity" began showing in Portland Monday for a two weeks' run. It will open here for a two days' showing next Monday.

A fund to guarantee the rent al charge on CnluipbiH Park has been raised, business men and ranchers con tributing liberally. Baseball, as a reult of ball players being in the army, bus been dormant for the past two years. Two circuses have given performance on the old diamond since a local hs: nid ation has been inactive. The rings made for performers exist as an obsta cle to playing. Harry DeWitt, how ever, has donated the use of a tractor, and the grounds, with others donating labors, will be prepared at once. A new baseball association is being organized at The Dalles and it is planned that, the first game of the sea son will be played here between the local team and one from the neigboring city in April. Following a two years' lapse the first professional baseball game will be played here April 20, when the newly organized Hood River team will meet the Piedmont Maroons, of Portland. The local team has begun practicing. How ling interest is still lively. Pat Lindsey's team beat the Coal Heavers Monday night. The Clover Kickers are in the lead. Sev'en teams make up the Duck" Pin League. Although only six years old, Kjssell, son of I. K. Acheson, . has become known as the Tyrus Cobb of the Coe school. Vallc( Will Invite Editors The Hood Kiver valley will invite the-"mernbers of the National Editorial Association, who, as a result of the activities of the Pacific Northwest Tourift Association, will assemble this summer in their annual convention in the scenic district, to spend a day here. While plans of entertainment, if the editors come here, ' are still in definite,, it is tentatively proposed to take them on a tour of the orchard dis trict, serving a picnic dinner at a nat ural park mar the noted lava beds in the Upper Valley.
