The Hood River county Victory Ixmn campaign will be finished with a burst of glory tomorrow, when residents of the county will assemble to greet a French whippet tank. Although up to Monday but f 135,000 of the 5200,250 quota had been subscribed, three in charge of the campaign expressed no worry. They declared that they confi dently expected to be able to announce tomorow that Hood River is over the top. "1 am very sure," said Truman But ler, "that when those who have not sulcribed attend to' the duty our nuota will be well over. Our campaign hH been conducted without the least solie itntion. We anticipate that no solici tation will be needed. Indeed, we feel sure of it." A reception committee for the whip pet tank consists of R. E. Scott, J. H. Fredricy, Arthur Kolstad and W. R. Urccrce. The men were badly worried over what they would have for the rav enous monster to feed on when it ar rived here until Geo. W. Thomson and M. F. McCartv, of the Paris Fair, pat- riotw'Hllv uranted the committee the use of the old barn and other struc-! tures that tear themselves on Oak street beside the band f tand open air pavilion. The driver of the little mon ster will be instructed to call a halt when the tank hH surged through these old structures. The band stand is to be saved. If parents have any bad children that they wish to get rid of they are in structed just to bring them down Fri day and the tank will eat them. The committee promises that all bond slack ers willl be lined up and the tank will run over them, that is if any slackers are present. It is thought that none will dare face the grim little whippet. It hates a slacker worse than it does a hun, and all know what it did to Heinie, the hun. The tank will feed at four p. m. to morrow, or a little after. "I'lans for its morning and early afternoon exercise have not been definitely set. Mr. Fred ricy wants to take it fishing, Perhaps he desires to use it in trying to catch the blue-tail lizard. Mr. Kolstad is going to be an absent member of the reception committee, fie fears it will smell his new organ and get up an ap petite for same Others suggest that the tank be made to climb some of the mountains on the east side of Hood river. Anyhow, tomorrow is going to be a great day. Hood Rrver will be over the top by the time the celebrators warm up, and all the kiddies and old folks will be there. At tomorrow's celebration medals won by members of the Boy Scout troops will be awarded. An address of presentation will be delivered by ('apt. Wilbur. The young men who will be decorated for meritorious service ren dered in the 101S War Savings Stamp campaign are: Myron Hoyt, Leonard Thomson, Boyd Cuddeford, Walter Man ville, Kenneth Keitz, Wilmutb Gibson, Jack ('ram and Maurice Kinsey. Sim ilar honors were conferred upon a num ber of other members of the troop last year, and a large number of the Scouts won medals for work done in the Third Liberty loan. , with H.unO.Oon, plus, in subscriptions at Scrnton, Fa.

Woolley, of The Dalles, dis trict manager of the Oregon Life In surnnce Co., was a springtime Santa (Mans Monday to Mrs. A. M. Kellogg, whose husband was a victim of influ enza recently. Mr. Woolley presented Mrs. Kellogg with a check for insur ance on a $2,000 policy, which, until several weeks following her hubsand's death, Mrs. Kellogg had thought can celled. Because of straitened circum stances last fall Mr. Kellogg had writ ten the Portland company a letter which he thought had ended his insur ance. Notes, however, had been given the district agent for premiums, and it was a death-bed worry of Mr. Kellogg believing his wife would be held ac countable for the notes. It was later discovered that Mr. Kellogg's letter was in no way a cancellation. Mrs. Kellogg in the joy of her thanksgiving will invest a part of the funds in Victory bonds. SATURDAY WAS ODD FELLOWS DAY Hood Rivet was turned over Satur day to Odd Fellows from the three lodges of the county.

H. Hartwig. Mis. Floyd French and ('has. N. Clarke rendered delight ful polos and piano solos were given by Miss Adah Faraway. The centennial celebration was closed Saturday night with a hanquet and dance. BILLY GETS MONEY IN PENNSYLVANIA 1918 APPLE DEAL CALLED SENSATIONAL (By Robert Ringer, of Portland office of Bureau of Markets) The 1'JIH apple season of Oregon has closed with a total shipment from the state of cars, a decrease of 12tis cars from the 1017 record when :144k cars were shipped. The decrease is accounted for by the late frosts of last spring which cut the yields of Hood River and eastern Oregon seriously and almost willed out the prospects of Rogue River valley and western Ore On August 21, 1018, the local bureau of markets gave the yield to be ex pected from Oregon as reported by the bureau of crop estimates as follows: "Conditions in the Hood River valley continue favorable. The season is three weeks ahead of last year. The apples are free from insect and disease injury and will be of good size and quality. About 1500 cars, "fill boxes each, almost exclusively Newtowns and Spitzenburgs are estimated for 1018, a 10 per cent increase over last year. The apple crop in other Oregon districts is light. Four hundred cars will cover the Rogue River and west ern Oregon production." As a matter of fact, conditions im proved slightly in the Hood River val ley as a later report announced and it really shipped HW4 cars. Of the re maining 400 cars Rogue River valley and western Oregon shipped only 240. Milton shipped 111) and Mosier and other towns east of the mountains ac counted for the balance. It was the molt sensational year in the apple industry of the Northwest ever experienced. In spite of a big in crease of production in the east and prohibition of export shipments exist ing at that time, the market in Sep tember did not open at the bottom but rather where it left oil' the year before and scarcely weakened a single day until it wound up this month with sales of Winesapa in carlots f. o. b. shipping point, $4 per box. Prices opened in September wiiil ex tra fancy stock of Winesaps bringing 11.85 and $2; .loiithans, $1.85 and $2.15; Arkansas Blacks. $2.25; Rome Beautys, $1.75; Spitzenburgs, $l.!m and$2.;i0; lielicious and Winter Ba nanas, $2.05 and $.'; Ortleys, $1.70 and $2.25; Newtowns, $1 . 70 and $2.25, and Ben Davis $1.45 and $1.00. Prices held a steady level with many wondering when the break would come. All speculated on the effect the new citrus crop would have but the big demand at undreamed of prices contin ued and by the new year Winesaps were selling at shipping point for 51.U0 and $2.10, Rome Beautvs at $2 and $2.25 and Spitzenburgs '$2 and $2.10. No particular demand existed for New towns and they alone hung back. In the meantime it had developed that although the Northwest apples looked as well as ever they did not have the keeping qualities of former years. The dry and early season had its particular etf'ect upon them and the Jonathans, in particular, went to pieces early. Rome Beautys did not keep so well and the Spitzenburgs gen erally softened a month early. The Winesaps and Newtowns were not so much affected and displayed almost their usual storage qualities and an unusual demand began to force their prices up. By the middle of January Newtowns were bringing $2.;i5 at Hood River and Arkansas Blacks $2.40, while in the Yakima vallev Winesaps were going at $2.50 and $2.70. The removal of export prohibitions and the availability of space in ships to carry apples to Furope furnished all the incentive needed to boost the mar ket then and by the middle of Febru ary Winesaps were bringing $:i.50 and $3.75 in straight cars, Newtowns $8 and 3.25 and extra fancv Ben Davis $2.50. Those prices prevailed practically the balance of the season and brought apples at retail in the cities almost to the prices of oranges. A few sales were made after April 1 at $4 per box and one car is reported unofficially to have brought $4.50 at Yakima. October and November were the banner shipping months and practical ly two-thirds of the crop rolled then. Hood River leads as a shipping point with 700 cars and Odell and Van Horn rank second and third. Milton is the shipping center of eastern Oregon and Medford of the Rogue River valley. FARMERS TO HOLD WHIl The Hood River valley may have a sorghum growers' association the com ing year. If growers of the district pledge enough acreaee to justify the purchase of power grinding machinery and an evaporating outfit, A. G. Jen nings, who by experiments has proven that sorghum cane may be successfully grown here, will buy the apparatus. Mr. Jennings and other ranchers in terested in sorghum growing have called a meeting for next Saturday night to discuss plans. The meetingill be at the county court house. Rev. Billy Sunday, whose character istic patriotic address so arousei Port land Monday night, had been hitting , the money slacker a hard blow in the i east before heading westward toward i his Oregon home, and his efforts have j not gone unappreciated. In a letter of 1 thanks to Mr. Sunday, B. H. Ludlow, of Philadelphia, chairman of the Vic tory bund drive in the Third Federal reserve disticrt, credits Mr. Sunday Sick Man Hurts Self Found unconscious on Cascade ave nue, his face in a small pool of blood, Ray Kimball, member of a Columbia Highway crew, created a sensation here Saturday night. The report was spread by spectators who saw an officer re move the man that his throat had been cut. It was found, however, that he was suffering from epilepsy, and in falfing had gashed his face. He has recovered sufficiently to resume work.

A continual stream of cars poured through the city the entire forenoon and then streamed back again after their occupants drank in the beauty of orchard and pastoral scenes. And incidentally so many of the vis itors called at hotels and restaurants that these places of business were forced to lesupply their larders, liar ages sounded the s. o. s. before noon, and the Standard Oil crew made special trips to till empty gasoline tanks. Some of the tanks were emptied again before night.

The crop will run well over 2,imi(),(00 boxes, he declared. GROWERS INVEST IN CROP INSURANCE An indication that Hood River orch ardists will continue to keep their tracts in the pink of health, growers have already made heavy investments in spraying machines this season and are continuing to buv such apparatus.
