These boots will keep your feet and legs dry and warm. -mm Comfort,economy,durability these are the qualities that make "U. S." the best boots for you. U. S. "Protected" rubber boots stand the hardest tests of service. They are built for double-duty, reinforced where the wear is jrreattM. The Gov ernment probably used more U. S. "Protected" rubber boots during the war, than of all the other makes combined. livery pair of "U. S." bears the kkU. S. Seal" trade mark of the largest rubber manufacturer in the world. Look for this seal when buying rubber boots. It means real protection for your feet and pocketbook. There's a kind of "U.

F. I'avidson tie-! flares that the marketing season of; ltfli-20. unless growers U-gin by de- j mandrif excessie prices at harvest time, bids fair to be more profitable than last year. Mr. Uavidson. who, preparatory to leaving for Luroi. where he w ill make a survey of all markets, has just visited all of the Northwestern growing sectims, says: "The greatest danger the grower faces is his tendency to make his ini tial selln k prices too hih. The appU shoubt be sold at figures that w ill mak. ible a steady consumption of them. If this romiit.on prevails, the fruit wiL move in a steady stream w ith trie like lihood of a risinu market. Hut let thi market start bullish and bleak and it is liable to become disastrous. "While early orders are being re ceived ahnoi mally early and in largt numbers, I have learned of but a sin gle sale of any consequence. K. War ner & Sons, of VVtnatchee, have Uunh1 a sbiek of Jonathans, to be picked le foie the fruit is fully mature, fur ship ment to Australia. They have con tracted to pay $2 per (mix, but thi; should not tie taken as any general market criterion. " r" - t8t Yakima valley, Mr. Pavidson says, is figuring on about K).fMH cars. We natchee expects to produce S.tioo cars. Krost danger is not yet over in the Spokane district, he savs, and final es timates have not been jriven. "While in Sp.'kane," said Mr. lav idson, "1 talked with A. I!. I'erham, prominent tblpper, who had just re turned from a tour of Idaho, lie told me that the prune crop would be only about 50 per cent, but that Idaho dis tricts would ship ;,(MN cars of apples against 2tNi lust year. There is a prob ability of ;i,fHi boxes of Jonathans in excess of last year in the Northwest, and it is indicated that the general ex cess of all varieties over last year in all districts will be about 7,500 car loads. The Northwestern districts pro duced a total tonnage of l!tiH) cars last season." Mr. Davidson says the hih prices paid for early fruit is phenomenal. While he was in W'enatchce,' he said, growers were contracting theirjapricot at JUKI per ton, the buyers to bear the expense ofpacking.

Hood River County, Oregon njn.) WHITE SALMON WATER CONTESTED r rm If V J Ml MM II b ca h p C3 I m" i HI i II 1 J 3 CUD S EXTRA TEST For Frictioning "Fnctionir.g" is the process by which rubber and fabric are nulled together. This extra test insures, by micrometer meas urement, the exact thickness and precise prcpgrtiwn of rubber to fabric J. E. Slade, orchardist of jHusum, says that litigation over water rights on the W hite Salmon river, similar to an adjudication of claims tojwaters in the Kood river watershed now before the courts, is likely to arise. Mr. Slade and others have recently, he ays, taken over an irrigation concern, privately constructed by ranchers of the district, with theview of organiz ing an lrrigationzdistrict tor watering 000 acres of bearing orchard in the Husum community. But we have been informed, savs Mr. Slade, "by the Northwestern Electric Co. that any effort on our part to take waters from Buck creek. a tributary of the White Salmon river, will be contested. We feel that our orchard lands will be of little value in a few years without water, and it is likely that the mutter will be fought out in the courts." .(DEM HERE we reveal another of the extra tests that make Racine Tires better tires. Each of these extra tests is vitally important. Combined, they promise the utmost in mileage for Racine Tire users.

HEIGHT'S GREENHOUSE t.KO II M R Tel. .VW.t Proprietor The steep hills of the city prevent circuses from cominir here, but the hildren of the Erankton neighborhood have a Rood substitute in two six weeks old pet pitts, owned by Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Kerr. A bin Poland China sow belonging to a neightior recently Have birth to 14 pics. W hen they were a few hours old Mr. Eoley presented Mr. and Mrs. !err with two of the small pit;s. started on a bottle, the pigs now take their food from a pan, and a but tle royal always ensues when mealtime I comes. Mr. and Mrs. herr have i named the pigs Martha Jane and Mooney. Mooney is a little heavier, but his little sister, Mr. Kerr says, is the brighter. When Mooney beats her to the pan and plants himself therein Martha Jane backs away about 10 feet and comes, head down, with a rush. Invariably she throws Mooney several feet away and finishes her dinner in peace. The fame of the Kerr pigs has trav eled so far and fast that on Sundays city children are taken there to see the clever little animals ei gaged in their pranks and taking lunch. In the eyes of his little playmates, at least, Parr, the small son of Mr. and Mrs. L. I!. Aplin, is a hero. Re cently, when a two-foot garter snake crawled from a dry wood drain to greet the spring sun, the reptile frightened very badly a party of chil dren playing ciose by. The little Ap lin boy, however, remained cool and raced home for a garden hoe. He was victor, and no veteran of the West front was ever more admired. Displaying a sense of the dramatic, the little girls, calling the reptile a hun-snake, planned a decoration party. A Victory loan button was secured and with strict formality the medal was pinned on the boy's breast. Sheriff Johnson Buffered severe ag ony for several minutes last week when he returned home from a fishing trip to Hood river. He had proverbial fisherman's luck, and when he sat down on his back porch doorstep, to remove his sodden shoes and socks, the closing of his legs seemed to bring a cramp on bo'h. He says the pain was so severe that he emitted a yowl, and it was some seconds before he could straighten the knotted, water soaked It'RS. While the run of chinooks and steel heads is not as heavy as for the past several weens, tne auver.t of warm weather has made trout fishing good on the lower Hood river. The preva lence of the smaller fish indicates that the plantings made for the past five years by the Mate liame Commission has been effective. J. H. Krediicy and Geo. 1. Slocom each filled creels one day last week with trout of an average size of 12 inches. The young man, who has just re turned home after discharge, partci- ipated with his regiment in the battle of the Argonne Forest. He was a messenger part of the time on the front and was also engaged in hauling! up ammunition. He says that on a number of occasions he. didn't consider his life very valuable. A horse he was riding, while carrying ammunition up to the front, was mangled by a high explosive shell. "I only ha I a little of the breath knocked out of me," says Mr. Post, "but they were pretty warm days. Our brigade, consisting of the lll'th, 120th and 121st and 117th Regiments, fiHil the record of 17(1 days on the front, the longest time for anv Amer ican unit. Our division lo t more than lilt Id men, killed in'the Argonne forest. "The :i2nd Division wbs supposed to bt! made up of middle western men, hut it was surprising to find so many fellows from west of the Rocky moun tains. "We got into the field artillery on a fluke in orders. We were detached to attend an aitillery school, but we found oursevles dumped one day at the wrong station. A brigadier general came along and wanted to know what we were doing. When we explained he said he guessed he could use us, and he did. In those four regiments of our brigade were men from every hamlet of Oregon ; a number of Port land buys were in the 147th." Local and White Salmon friends of A. von Hacht, C. P. Hutchins and K. K. Klynn have received word thut the men, members ot the z-lth hngineers, will land, aboard the U. S. S. Minne sota, at New York city today. Mr. von Hacht was formerly with the Pa cific Power & Light Co. here. The other mon are residents of White Salmon, Mr. Hutchins being a son of C. C. Hutchins, secretary of the White Salmon Commercial club. H. B. Langille, naval lieutenant, who has been stationed at San Pedro submarine base, according to a letter to friends, has been transferred to the U. S. S. Oregon at San Diego. "It is something like getting back home." says Mr. Langille, native Ore gonian, in his letter, "to get aboard the Oregon. 1 hope that the state suc ceeds in getting her stationed at Portland." No small brother was ever prouder of his big "buddie" than Sidney Whor lovv, aged six, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Whorolw, of this city, who last Satur day spent the day displaying to his playmates a handsomely hammered vase, made from a shell of a famed French 75 gun. The trnphy was sent young Whorlow by his brother, Law rence Cuughenouer, in France with the HHth Infantry. Deputy SheiitT Olinger lias just re ceived a letter from his fo.i, Winfield Olinger, member of an aviation squad ron stationed at a Florida cantonment, who says his outlit has been notilied that they will be sent west soon for demobilization.
