FIRST NATIONAL BANK Hood River, Oregon I'rtil fruit of another crop ripens solders passing through Hood River wilt get no more apples from memlers of the Canteen committee, that is, when leven boxes of Newtown, held in storage are gone. J. H. Fredriey, who has been in charge of the distribu tion of practically all of the 2,500 box es given out to service men in the past six months, is holding the seven boxes as a treat for a contingent of Oregon men expected this week. For the past month all surplus apple stocks have been taken by the Canteen committee. After a search of the val ley not another box of fruit can be found, and the activities of the blue veiled young women Ked Cross greet era for the next few weeks will be lim ited to candies and cigarettes. "The success of our efforts in the (distributing fruit and delicacies to the soldiers, says C. A Hell, rests upon the coterie of enthusiastic women who have made innumerable sacrifices in meeting all trains. No contingent of troops has ever been overlooked and we have reached most of the men who have traveled through on detached or regul.ir trains. Mr. Fredriey has spent his leisure moments for the past six months bustling boxes of apples from storage places down to the O.-W. K. & N. baggage room. VNhileotT duty he might have been found, day and night, sitting in the baggage room arranging baskets of apples. No fruit stand lony ever took a greater pride in the display of his wares than has Mr. Fredricv in those apples given to the soldiers." the entire personnel of the I anteen committee is as follov.s: C. A. Bell, chairman; Miss Hazel llollenbeck, secretary. Mrs. Alice Stal naker, treasurer; J. H. Fredricv, Mrs. M. Bent ley, Mrs. J. W. Ingalls, Miss Roie Haas, Mrs. W. J. A. Baker, Mis. F.dgar Franz. Mrs. Karl Franz, Miss Ellen MeCurdy, Miss Marie Bart- mess, Miss Horence Carson, Miss Kiiz abeth Carson, Miss Lvdia Johnson, Miss Minnie Monner. Miss Kitty Bragg, Miss Florence Brosius, Miss Gladys Reavis, Mrs. Dayton Mcl.ucas, and Mrs. Walter W. Shay. Much of the fruit distributed to the Soldiers has been contributed by oich ardists. A large percentage of it, how ever, has been purchased at regular prices trom individuals and local fruit suit's agencies. Funds have been raised by dances and other similar functions, Ihe committee is undecided as to whether strawberries will be distrib uted to soldiers passing through the city. Because of the perishability of the fruit, it could only be used in greeting contingents whose arrivals hre would be scheduled in advance. It is likely that the committee will practice the distribution of cherries when that fruit ripens this summer. MK. SINNOTT GIVES I I if X i j II SAFETY OF LIFE INSURANCE Wills can be broken, bonds can be sold, estates can be dissipated, but life insurance in a good company leaves at least a part of your estate in a will which cannot be set aside nor your purpose defeated. It is better than real estate because there are no taxes or assessments. It wont depreciate in value. You can burrow money on it without paying a commission and never at a rate of more than 6 per cent interest, it is the acme of safety, the ideal in vestment for life or death.

FIRST BASEBALL NEXT CAME SUNDAY VICTORY DRIVE SUCCESS ASSURED fOMMJTTKK WILL FINISH THE JOB Orchardists Are Busy. But Busy Folk Ac compli. Things Volunteer fampiitn is Outlined Representative N. J. Sinnott, here Monday night as a guest of the Com' mercial club, delivered a rousing pat riotic speech to the members of the organization. While Mr. Sinnott avoided any discussion of political issues, be declared that Republicans irrCotigiess had provided the Adminis trstion all necessary wartime legisla tion asked for except when it came to an abridgment of the freedom of the press. In this stand, he stated, the Republicans were supported by most Democrats. Mr. Sinnott declared that he was proud of the patriotic sacrifices made ny the people of Oregon Bnd especially of those of his own district. in closing Mr. Sinnott recalled the Gettysburg address of Lincoln, liken ing the period following the Civil war to that of today. ' There should be a law," he de clared, "providing that every school boy and girl be required to commit to me nory that great address. And to day it is rather for us to be dedicated to !lie task, with increased devotion for the honored dead on the western front, that they shall not have died in vain." Mr. Sinnott characterized the work of a congressman for the past year as one of intense strain and irritation. Following a dinner given Mr. Sinnott at the Mount Hood hotel, he made a short talk in which he endorsed the movement for the Loop Highway, as suring the locul people of his utmost aid in hastening work on the highway. One of the most interesting talks given here by a returned icddier was the intimate recital Monday night hy Horace R. Skinner, who went to France with the First Gas Regiment. Mr. Skinner rode 30,000 miles along the western front the last few months of the war as a motorcycle dispatch bearer, and had several narrow escapes from death. In his talk to the club members Mr. Skinner explained how the gas regiment handled its barrages of gas, smoke and thermite, the latter a molten metal rained on the Germans. According to plans suggested by members of a committee to handle the blossom festival to lie celebrated jointly hy the club and members of the Portland Ad club, the visitors will be asked to bring their lunches Sunday, April 27, the date on which it is pre dicted the blossoms will he at their best, and meet with local citizens at the city park. The Commercial club will furnish coffee and sugar for the visitors. No program has been ar ranged by the iocal club, but it is expected that the Ad Club will bring along orators and singers. The open air auditorium at the park will he arranged to accompiodate any program the visitors may wish to stage. No set program has been made for visits to the orchard districts. It is ex pected, however, that local citizens will escort parties of the visitors to ditTeient sections in order to avoid eon fusion and congestion on the roads. On the motion of J. L. Carter the club voted to appoint a committee to confer and cooperate with the county court in securing imnrovements on a road of detour aiound a portion of the The recently organized Hood River baseball team will play its first game at.

BACK SALARY SUIT Circuit Judge Fred W. Wilson Mon day in the case of Jasper Wickham versus Hood River County, in which Mr. Wickham is suing for alleged back salary amounting to more than $1,000 overruled a demurrer interposed by District Attorney" A. J. Derby, the demurrer alleging that the complaint did not state tacts sutlicient for cause of action. The disposal of the case in this manner will end it, and Mr. Wick ham, it is stated, in case his claim is not paid, will after a legal lapse of time proceed to get judgment. Following the decision by Judge Wilson, District attorney Derby had the alternative of appealing from the decision to the county court or of fil ing an answer to the complaint and allowing the case to proceed to trial in a formal manner. He expressed t preferment to allow the case to be diss posed of on the demurrer decision, however. The case hinged on the validity of a law initiated in 1911 by the Hood River County Pomona Grange and adopted by the citizens at the general election of that year, which materially decreased the salaries of the assessor, clerk, sheriff and judge. The payment of Mr. Wickham's claim will set a precedent for remittance hy the county of similar back salaries of the other officers, the total amounting to another approximate $4,0O0. As a recognition of the futility of fighting Mr. Wickham's claim, an enabling bill, introduced in the last legislature by Senator Nickelsen, at the instigation of W. S. U'Ren, grange representative, which gives counties the power of initiating bills on matters pertaining to county administration, was cited in court.

Evervbociv come ! 1 d v J "Busy.1 Sure, but we'll finish the Job." Such was the sentiriitnt of Hood River orchardists as gathered last Thursday night by L. P. Hewitt, dis trict lii Id malinger of Hood River. Wasco and Sherman counties for the Victory Loan, present at a conference of Hood River committeemen. Despite the busy season, for merchants as well as orchardists, all but three of the dis trict captains for the county were present. The absent three, prevented from attending the meeting by un avoidable incidents, sent word that their machinery, used in rolling up oversubscriptions in Liberty lAans, was intact and ready lor service in the Victory drive. In the Victory campaign Hood River county will not endeavor to go over the top the first halt day or day, as was the case in the lust Liberty Loan. 'We are all busv people here," said R. i'j. Scott, executive secretary of the loan organization, "but as you all know, it is the busy people who always accomplish things. You need not have any worries aliout what we are going to do up here. Truman Butler, chairman of the committee, explained to his fellow workers the plans of the local cam paign. All citizens ot the county will receive letters just before the drive begins, asking for their subscriptions. At the suggestion of E. O. Blanchar subscribers will be given a tentative rating. Mr. Blanchar explained that such action would be needed as a guide to subsci ibers. It is anticipated that the letters will bring in sufficient voluntary subscrip tions to till the county's quota. In case soliciting is needed, machinery will be ready for the work. It is con templated that the women of the val ley, represented at last week's meet ing hy Mrs. Thomas Flagler, will conduct the onmpa gns of solicitation if they are needed. The women of the city and valley will aid the executive secretary in the clerical wink of mail ing the mass of letters to prospective subsci ibers next week. Mr. Hewitt said that state headquar ters was expecting much of his district for the reason that their organizations of Liberty Loan drives had been kept lntsct. I. L. Pierson and E. W, Birge be lieved that meetings in their districts were unnecessuty, in that all residents would attend the city meeting. F. A. Massee stated that people of Willow Flat would attend the Odell meeting. "People from the south end of our district," said G. A. Wuest, "will go to Odell." The county executive committee ap pointed by Mr. Butler is identical with the Liberty l.oaa committee. It in cludes K. O. BlHiK'har, A. W. Stone, I). G. Cruikshniik and W. M. Stewart. Speakers are Prominent Men Thomas G. Ryan, one of Portland's most eloquent attorneys, and Frank Freeman, one of the most skilled bond men of the state, will speak Saturday night at the Heilbronner hall meeting H. S.

SHOWS PATRIOTISM Miss Nora Hunter, the Glacier cor respondent at Mosier, wired the fol lowing yesterday : "A. W. Ehlich, chairman victory loan campaign says, 'Though the cam paign has not opened, a $1,000 sub scription was voluntarily tendered today by Mr. Geo. C. Evans, an or chardist" here. Although Mr. Evans just lost his wife, during the influenza epidemic, leuving him with nine child ren to support, his loyal spirit as a patriot and a good father are evidenced by his act, and should be an example for others. " ASSOCIATION BUYS H. R. A. & S. PLANT "On April 1H, 1911, the date on which our organization had its birth as a cooperative concern," said Exec utive Manager Stone Tuesday night, "we had no funds and our chief assests were the cooperative spirit and a de termination to serve the interests of Hood River valley fruit growers. The Apple Growers Association will cele brate its birthday tomorrow by an nouncing the purchase- today of the Van Horn storage plant of the Hood River Apple & Storage Co." As a result of Tuesday's purchase the Association ow ns every foot of cold storage space in the valley except that of the .Davidson Fruit Co., and the latter'is held under lease. The total of the storage capactiy reaches 4.")0,oon boxes. The Associa tion's net assets are now in excess of $'200,000. Consideration in Tuesday's deal was $.",000.
