- - , I HOOK lUVEl: ULACIKU. TlllKSUAY. MAY J'., Hil'l I There are still plenty of Bargains Some extraordinarily good "buys" have been found in Hood River this Spring. There are probably no more bearing orchards to be had at at the "snap" prices some of these sold for. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of good bar gains, that will look just as good as we look back at them next year, and the next, as these do now. Here are a few : 1. Small farm, two miles from town, in excellent condition. Splendid new buildings, plenty of water, everything in the pink of condition. Priced at $5000 and certainly a bargain. 2. The Quackenbush Place. An ideal home. 3. 110 acres, fifty irrigated and in cultivation. An unusual opportunity for a stock man. The price is too low. $3600. 4. A fine big stock and grain farm at Trout Lake and another at Camas Prairie. Each a dandy and each priced at $18,000. 5. Fine ten acre orchard property in perfect shape. Excellent improvements and paying big return on the price. $6600. 6. Thirty acre orchard with a big crop on the trees. $500 an acre. 7. Seven room modern house on Pine St. Newly painted. An unusual bargain at $2000. 8. Big stock ranch in Upper Valley at $10 an acre. 9. Thirty acre place on West Side. Very fine im provements. Fourteen acres of dandy orchard. $10,500. And many others.

SINCLAIR, Secretary STANLEY STEAMER PERFORMS STUNTS W. It. Earle, of the W. H. Walling ford Co., of Portland, has been here this week displaying a Stanley Steamer touring car. Mr. Karle, accompanied by Commodore O. C. Dean, who with L. E. Fouts. is the local aent for the steamer, has been taking the breath of local motorists by the ease with which he takes the steep streets of Hood River. Indeed, Mr. Earle did not stop with streets, but on several occasions, his car laden with astonished passen gers, negotiated a long flight of con crete steps leading up from the station Commodore Dean declares that a Stanley Steamer can climb Mount Hood and most Hood Uiver men who have seen Mr. Earle making the demostrator perfo-m here, are ready to back him. The steamer car is truly a marvel. It can be stopped on the steepest grade and started again by a slight pressure on the throtte with as much ease as though it were beginning to coast down a gentle declivity. 1 -Jill' ,1 II"" N'l J ? m i .llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMnlMlllllllilllHIllllllllllllllUI'jr I ' i I a 9TW J u nm g . i ..mill linn"1 "m i m l r m ..,ni " "ii tit. s'Amf 11 ii.

(With the American Y. W. C. A. Over sea.) i'obleuz. lierniuuv, March 1'8 iBy Mall.) It happened right ber in t'l.leu. A big corporal lame into tlie Y. W. C. A. Hostess Housf uml asked for the director, Miss Itutti WikhIsiiiuII, wlm comes from Colorado piiiiKS t'olo. "Could uiy uiotlier stuy heif?" be begau at once, trying bis lest to cover his eit'lteuiritt. "Your mother!" gasped Miss ool siuull. "How did your uiotlier ever get be re?" "Well, sbe Isn't here yet, but If ahe comes will you keep ber'r" "tlf course I will, but" She didn't tlulsli, for the boy had smashed his cup bark on tils bend and wus out of the door on a run. The corporal's visit remained 11 mys tery for two days. Then on evening Just at dusk a little white hailed wo man dressed eniuisitely in black ap peared lu the sill inn room of the Host ess House, and the corporal was hover ing behind her, trying to be beside ber and back of tier and in front of her all at once. He was carrying ber coat a big fur one. With them were three doughboys, puis of the corporal They tried to keep in the background, but their eyes were glued on her face. Everyone In the sittinic room sat at attention. There are no English speaking men or women out of mil form in the Third Army men. Yet here was u woman In civilian clothes. Mothers are unheard of with the army. Hut this was a mother, everyone knew. After awhile someone found out about this mother. Had Been Interned During War. She and her husband, who were horn in Germany, but bad been nat uralized, lived In San Francisco. Be fore the war they left for Welsbadcn, Germany, that their invalid daughter might have treatment at this fuiuous health resort. They brought (heir other children with them. One was Walter, a small boy, and the other was It it I ph. now Corporal Stepp of the American Army. I When the war was declared they i sent Ilalpb back to America, because I be was of military agej and they did I not wunt him to fight for the kaiser. Then America entered the war. Mrs. Sfepp Mrs. Anna Stepp she I told this part of the story : "I'litll a month ago I hadn't beard from ltalph for two jears and a half even before America got In the war mall was held up. I didn't know whether he was In the army in- not but I was sure he was. because- well, because he Is an American.'' Here she stopped a minute to smile up at hlm. "After awhile we heard from some frlcnds-that he was In the army and that he had come over here. That was all I ever knew. It's nearly the years since I have seen him ! "Of course It was awfully hard - I couldn't get word to him uml he couldn't to me. My husband used to tell me It wouldn't help Kalph any for me to cry. '. tried not to before the rest of them anyway. M.v daughter got worse steadily- she Is no better. We couldn't get the proper food for ber after awhile. And she haled to see me worried about Iialpb, so I used to try to keep up befoiv them, "Last January my husband came to Cohlenz about his citizen papers. An American soldb in Ko 1 1 ill's company who was In the ollice beurd his name ami asked him If he was any relation to ltiilpli. 11c didn't tell him ltalph was In Goblenz. but went after Itulph, He didn't tell Kalph his father was here. When they met they couldn't believe their eyes. "Ever since then I have been trying to see ltalph. He couldn't come to Weishailen because It was nut of the American area, and I couldn't get through until today more than two months." They asked her If her Itulph hail chunged much In all that time, "nh, yes -very much. But do you ! know, I think it Is because nil that long time when I didn't know where he was or how lie was -I got In the talilt of thinking of him us he was when he was a baby I kept seeing him as a baby :.nd remembering ihc way be fell when he was little. Isn't that iiieer? And now look at him !" Anfl the corporal tried not to see the adoration in her eyes. "Five years is a long time to wait to see your boy," sbe nitirmiired, and kept her eves on him. A'uln she had forgotten the people around her. The corporal cleared his throat. "This Is why I ail d you if you could keep toy mother, Miss Woodsmiill. I didn't want her to come unless she had a good place to slay. Ah, e-e-r thanks awfully." And that is the story of how (be Ib.sless House happened to entertain the only Known A. K.

Llt7sbeth M. Clark, who has been In Switzerland for teu years under the Worlvi Student Christian Federation, has appealed to fh National Student Committee of the Y. W. C. A. forclotl. lug for the Ho0 foreign women stu dents In Switzerland. The scarcity of (lo:hing last year among these almost refugee students made it necessary for two girls to share one coat so that ! ouly one could go to classes or go out of doors at a time. Four large packing cases of all kitids of used clothing. Save hats, which Is In good condition, have been collected hastily from women college studeuts in the New England States. Ohio, Weat Virginia, Pennsv hania. Maryland and l"eliiware by the Stu dent Committee of the National Y. W. l A. to be sent over In response to Miss Clark's appeal. This clothing will be dyed, cleaned and made over in Switzerland. In addition to the clothing collected from students In Colleges nearest New York a case of uniforms, which have been turned In by Y. W. ('. A. secreta ries who did war work, and the otlicial gray uniform ulsters is being sent. As uniforms are being turned In by war workers they will be claimed by the Student Committee, which will remove the Insignia and prepare the uniform so that they may be worn by these women who have been forced by world events to remain In Switzerland fr several years.
