They UPPER HOOD RIVER VALLEY GETS PRAISE The ffllowirg interesting story, dtaling with the Upper Valley ard written by Fmily Koss, recently ap peared in the Oregonian: OILMEN URGED TO BUY STAMPS sion is the "sublime pyramid of snow we call Mount iloud, though, as Theo dure Winthrop suggests, why should mountains tt abused by the prefix of "Mount ."' "Mount Chimboarazo," for instance, seeming as "feeble as Mr. Julius Caesar or Signor Oante." Ev eryone's window is "open toward Je rusaiem," for who would build here atxmta on a site that dind't command a view of the grand old temple pinnacle, rising there, as it were, justacross the lot".' When it's cloudy you wouldn't know there was a mountain in the state ; and sometimes when all the rest is clear he remains distant and con cealed, like a veiled prophet. Truly "a cloud compiler" is he, and one to which our evergreen domain owes much of its evergreenness. lint mostly the weather and scenery i are superb, with Hxk1 benignly beam ing down upon atomic mottals. while the bloomy orchards make the fore ground "a poseybed of nature." From Homer Rogers' lodge, four miles above Parkdale, one's horizon commands, besides this vigorous prince of the range, to whose wind-swept slopes it is anchored, St. Helens, "nueen of North America" ; Adams, which Wainthrop called "Taconia the Less, but noble enough to be the pride of a continent," and Rainier, "divine ly majestic, a silver mountain in a gol den fcea,"as he saw it one day. Though of course he spelt it Tacoma, adding ! that "mountains should not be insulted by being named after undistinguished bipeds." Quite right, Theodore, and may your sentiments be consistently adopted by your the national geo graphic board. Here a beneficent Creator spread apart the mighty buttresses of our ca thedral spire so that a wide area of over 16,000 acres sufficiently level for farming has been left between an un usual formation like a great park, ex tending almost from the base of a great peak. The east and middle forks of Hood river skirt the sides, and be yond them each a chain of the buttres sing mountains project themselves down the valley till lost in the gorge of the Columbia. The Neal creek road along the east side is like a ribbon binding the upper and nether valleys together, for it ex tends above and below the dividing line between them, Booth's hill. Hav ing steep and rocky sides, it is likely to be long left in primeval beauty. On the west side of the valley is the famous Punch Howl, scooped out by the pounding of the Middle Fork. It is fearsome to gaze into, and from it none w ho venture too far ever return. The bugaboo of rattlers, it is said, was long since exorcised from the country, and that no snakes of any variety inhabit these higher altitudes This, then, may be recommended as a safety zone wherein nervous females may summerize in peace. The loop road is an absorbing subject and every land owner the whole length of the valley can give cogent reasons why it thould pass his door. The Kane Line, whose road runs through Port land, also falls north of Parkdale, an other connecting link of interest. There are discouragements in this garden spot, however, though some of them just now it may still be said, winter in Tacoma busied at their re spective callings of life insurance and civic betterment. Q A number of business and other women have bought farms up here and one of these fair orchardists. Miss Grace Chambers, a Portland girl, is doing practically all her own farm work, inc lduing the running of the spray wagon a malodorous and alto gether unsavory task. Not far away Mrs. Euwer presides summertimes over the home of her son, Eugene, a fine log structure befit ting its setting ; and here another son, Anthony (though known hereabouts as Harry) drank inspiration for his "Rhymes of Our Valley. In the most virile of these, "The Blood in the Apple," according to one who knows, much more might have been said of what goes into this king of fruits as cultivated here than Anthony tells. It must be nice to have your own home-grown poet, though it might be claimed that Mr. Euwer was grafted on; however, there's a lot of grafting goes on here all the time. It is in this book that another Portland girl, Fran ces Gill, "she of "The Little Days." who also charms many a larger audi ence with her music, is immortalized by his telling that When Frances comes to our house We range ourselves around On cushions or the hammock or The steps or on the ground ; And then the stars they perch them selves Above their favorite trees, The bats, expectant, flutter 'round, The crickets cross their knees. And of the program and the postlude lie sings: Fond melodies, dear memories, Hopes still of things to be. Come crowding in as Frances plays With tuneful witchery. Then down the trail we make our way By sage and chincapin, Beneath the stars, with Frances there 'Long with her violin. "Limeratomy" came next and the people who have to look at the fashion- made "dames" of the day w ill appre ciate this selection : An imag'nery line is the waist Which seldom stavs lone where it's placed, But ambles and skips 'Twixt shoulders and hips According to popular taste. And speaking of "dames", Winthrop, a most polished writer, used this word and "tin" in 1853 in exactly the same way as that of the slang-slingers of 1919. Then comes Mr. Euwer's cat-book, full of ludicrous conclusions about fe lines, in jingles and prose. "Wings and Other War Rhymes," which has something of the ring and the swing of Robert Service, is his latest. To return to our lo-dly peak, it may be said that one who truly desires to understand and love our mountains must acquire and absorb Winthrop'e "The Canoe and the Saddle." Though written nearly (50 years ago his whim- Sfecial appeal is being made to the hixjl children of Oregon, now released from their schoolroom duties, to make the most of their vacation time, not only in play and relaxation, but in trrifty effort to earn and save during p rt of their holidays. Work for boys d girls in the fields and the orchards d about home w ill be more ber.ericial tl an complete idleness and there will fx. few but who will seek and find op p rtunity to earn money now that their s nool books have been nut aside for tl e next two or three months. I he government in furthering the V xt Savings Stamu campaign at this time, is doing so, not so much for the purpose of raising money for govern mental purposes, as to the end of in culcating habits of thrift in every per son, that they may become better citi zens, and that the United States may maintain in peace times the record for thrift it develoed during the war. In this connection a recent message to school children by Carter Glass, sec retary of the treasury, is pertinent : 1 summon vou to solve one of Amer ica's greatest financial problems : How to make permanent among our people the habits of thrift begun during the war. The victory has been won. Let us ca-ry over into peace times two of the great lessons of the war the value of thrift and the fact that good citizen ship and interest in your government come from having a part in financing it. To you I intrust the responsibility fcr making the future America a na tion of thrift." If you have a little money no one can bully you. If you have none you are more or less helpless and dare not steak up for your rights. It is not agreeable to be at anyone s mercv. If there were no other motive for saving : the wish to escape from such a situa tion ought to be sufficient. Uncle Sam olfers a most attractive saving and in- vestment proposition for all who would j be independent in every sense of the word. He is selling Thrift Stamps at j 25 cents each, and War Savings Stamps at $4.18 each this month. Thrift ! Stamps are intended to take care of the pennies, nickles and dimes and quar-1 ties, that otherwise might be Bient ; looiisniy. inritt Mamps can tie con v rted into War Savings Stamps on i which the government pays four per cent interest compounded quarterly. As an investment for the wage earner this proposition can't be beat, and it is primarily for the wage earner that the o fer is made. Your banker will tell y u so. 1HINNINGWITHSCIS SORS BAD HABIT YOU WILL FIND ALL uf llu supplies needed for your STRAWBERRY PICKERS AT OUR STORE Use the telephone and we will have your orders ready for you when you call. THE ARNOLD GROCERY CO. Is Always At Your Service perhaps, "it is the war." Think of ! siral w it, keen observation and exq;iis ue imagery are sun as reiresning t,s a crystal spiing ; and he was also the first apostle of the campaign voiced in the slogan, See America First, if he didn't coin the phrase. Even one, Frank Branch Riley, who is so wittily and eloquently trying to convince the effete east that it should see the north west and do it now, may find a new ar gument in this old book wherein with a trenchant pen the traveler writes : "I , ask recognition for the almost unknown glories of the Cascade moun tains. We are poorly off for such ob jects east cf the Mississippi. There are some roughish excrescences known as the Alleghanies. There is a knobby group of brownish White mountains. Best of all, high in down east is lonely Katahdin. Hillocks these never among them one single summit brilliant for ever with snow, golden in sunshine, silver when sunshine has gone. Exaltation such as the presence of the sublime and solemn heights arouses. we dwellers eastward cannot have as an abiding influence. Therefore, needing all these emotions at their maximum, we are compelled to make pilgrimages back to the mountains of the old world. But we v.ere here forced to inspect also the heritage of human institutions, and such a man kind as they had made after centuries of opportunity and very sadly depres sing we found the work, so that not withstanding many romantic joys and artistic pleasures, we came back mal content. Let us, therefore, develop our own world. It has taken us two centuries to discover our proper west across the Mississippi. He concludes these reflections with inspiring words lor the Oregon peo ple in a climate where being is bliss as carrying to a new and grander New England of the west a fuller growth of the American idea, carrying the civil ization or history wnere u will not suffer by the example of Europe. where it will achieve a destiny."

And hay that went out of here at $20 a ton last fall is being brought back at $-12! Then on May 12 it snowed and several light frosts have visited us since-all of which mine host, not being in the real estate business, admitted were not unusal. The hamlet of Parkdale, which is the railroad terminus, has two stores, grade school, high school, photographic studio, church .and library. The last named is the only one in the county, outside the county seat, and a neatly painted little bungalow houses its books and magazines. The community church, organized by the late Rev. J. V. Milligan, of Portland, and first pas torized most acceptably by Rev. W. L. Van Nuys, has a charming little ed ificelittle, but rejoicing in a big min ister. Rev. W. H. Boddy, an almunus of Reed college, by the way. He is not only a splendid preacher, fearless and forceful, but he takes an active interest in all community affairs, indi vidual and collective. Boy Scouts have a lusty troop with Mr. Boddy as Scout Master and J. F. Van Nuys, W. C. Smullin and Milton Craven as assistant scout masters. One of their activities is the commend able plan to put half of Memorial Day into clearing up the cemetery ; and the men of the community, too, will help by raising $100 or more for the same purpose. Then here are the Grange, the Rebekahs and Oddfellows. A Red Cross organization performed valiant service during the war; and 55 young patriots from the upper valley alone responded to the call to arms, a splen did percentage, and only one gold star. Illustrating the spirit of the valley, a good story got out during enlistment davs of one ardent would-be, who i though a bit deaf, determined to try it j out. When his hearing was tested I with a watch and he was asked at each j Distance if he heard it, he promptly I answered "Yep." When the test was ! over the examiner told him the watch I was not running. Fact. And he has ! a wife and two children here who might have served him for "weather strips" if he had chosen to avoid the i draft. As practically all the service men i have ! already retrned, a big banquet I reception is iaiKeo:oi:ior tne near fu ture, to welcome them back to the Valley of Peace, as a speaker on Blos som Sunday happily named it. C. E. Craven, who lives "in town" for church and school privileges and has a farm outside the "city limits," left a big studio in the east, where he produced photographs of such high or der as to make him a several medalist. Miss Bess Owens, of Portland, an other Reed graduate, is principal of the high school as well as soloist in the church choir. She is turning out a tine little class at commencement soon. Incidentally, Milton Runyon, of the same Reed class, has spent some time in these pints, though for his health largely, it is said. Not" far over there fur a while lived F.ldon Furnish and his bride, Ruth Fra ley, well known young Portland peo ple. This was on the place built and formerly owned by the Mi Hards, whose Meant as a suggestion of thrift, the a Ivice of someone to an owner of va cint lot fruit trees to use the family issors for thinning his apple crop r ither than pay a comparatively high ) . ice for a new pair of thinning shears n ay prove exceedingly costly. Indeed, t' e transient grinder man would reap a h irvest here now. It is likely that s .veral husbands will have to invest in new scissors. It has all evolved from the promise of high prices for apples. In former years suburban growers have annually complained that their crops were men aced by insects and diseases as a result of neglected city lot orchards. When the story of the 1919 apple deal is re corded it will be chronicled that several arloads of clean, highclacs fruit were marketed from the limits of Hood Riv er. Days' ends and early mornings are being spent by many citv men in thin ning their crops. They have invested lierally in spray materials and have made life miserable for the men in charge of the Hood River experiment station. The grooming that some of the city orchardists have given their trees this season might put to shame their country cousins, who pride them selves on their commercial product. Shenck at Class Reunion A. A. Schenck, who usually come here from Omaha to spend the sum mers, writes that he has forgone hi . annual journey 1 his year because of : trip to Princeton University, where h participated in the 50th reunion of thi Class of 1809. The class won a silve cup presented to the class having th largest percentage of living member' present for the jubilee occasion. Mr. Schenck, who is now chief en gineer of maintenance for the C. & N. W. R. R. Co., was a pioneer engineer for the old O. K. & N. Co., nnd while engHged here he purchased orchard and residence property. . He resided in Portland for a number of years. BOILING POINTS TELL THE STORY Contrary to the opinion held by a great many people, the real value of gasoline is not Bhown by the old fash ioned gravity test. This test tells nothing about the vaporizing and com- bustive qualities of the fuel, as has been pointed out by the National Bu reau of Standards at Washington. Only the boiling point test is really ef ficient. Boiling points, of course, mean ex actly what the words say. That is, they are points on the thermometer at which a liquid will begin to boil. For a cold engine to start quickly the gas-1 oline must vaporize at a low temper- i aure. To get quick and smooth acceler ation somewhat higher boiling points are necessary and for full power and long mileage the fuel must have still higher boiling points. High quality gasoline must have a complete and continuous chain of boil ing points, ranging from the low to the high. Combustion starts with the lowest and flashes on through the uni form chain from low to high with the result that there is full powered, in stantaneous combustion. Eliminate one link and the full-power chain is broken. The famous Red Crown gaso line has the complete power chain. Club Buys Park Site The Commercial club last Thursday closed a deal with Mrs. M. Sue Hen derson for the purchase of a three acre tract west of the city to be used for a free -automobile camping park. The site is so located that additional prop erty may be bought later. The club raised a fund of If 1,000, all of which w ill be appropriated toward buying the iiarksite, from proceeds of the Fourth of July celebration. The city will equip the park.

Loss of Appetite As a general rule there is nothing serious about a loss of appetite, and if you skip a meal or only eat two meals a day for a few days you will soon have a relish for your meals when meal time comes. Bear in mind that at least five hours should always elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to digest and the stomach a period.,of rest before the second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take a reasonable amount of outdoor exercise every day you will not need to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by constipation as is often the case, that should be corrected at once. A ,dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it. Rubber Stamp Ink at this office.
