The lat ter was here as a lay member of a commission of the church on a tour of America to awaken interest in the re' construction movement. Plans had been made for the attend ance ot Bisnoo riuiae, or uiba. who is touring the Northwest with the recon struction commission, but he wa de layed by engagements at other points. APPLE PICKERS COME IN CARS Mr. Maver. .who advises heavier plantings of prunes, says Hood River g rowei would find prunes a profitable , crop. He says that prunes ra;sid in t the mid-Columbia district, due to their containing mor sugar than those pru duced in other districts, are better keepers for fresh shipment. Mr. Mayer received the first award at the ; Pacific International Panama exposi-; tion, against several hundred competi tors, on prunes. i "I feel," says the Mosier grower, "that Hood River and Mosier are missing a great opportunity by not making heavy plantings of prunes. The upkeep is only ulwut 25 per cent that of apples, and even at $30 per ton the returns would be profitable. I have i had my place 10 years and my crops i have not varied over 10 tier cent in j production, while in the Willamette , valley, where I have just been visit ing, they expect a full crop only every two or three years. The Idaho prunes run about the same percentage in pro duction." The Mosier district shipped lb car loads of prunes this year, selling the crop for $100 per ton, f. o. b., Mosier. According to the reports from many orchard districts growers, before an other season rolls around, may find it necessary to build garages for their pickers. "1 thought I had everything ship shape," said U U. Hoyt Monday. "Ail of my workers had been provided with comfortable cottages and with 20 pickers I was ready for a flying start at the apples. One of the harvest hands came' to ask if there was anv where he could put his car. Others followed with simliar requests. I'm blamed if my 20 pickers haven't a total of five automobiles." Scores of the harvest hands have come here this year over the Highway Some of them have their cars equipped with camping paraphernalia, thus solv ing the housing problem for their em ployers. EXPENSIVE TO BE FULL OF PRUNES CAR SHORTAGE FORMS WORRIES MHK'OLIMBIVS BIGGEST HARVEST Apples Are of Exctlltnt Quality, But Laik Of Rolling Stock May Result in Shipping Congestion RED CROSS WILL HELP ARMENIA The delegates to the Red Cross con ference in Portland last Monday were urgently appealed to to return to their districts and send out an immediate call for men's, women's and childien s clothing and boots and shoes for the stricken people of Armenia. lhis is probably the last contribution of any kind that we will be asked to make in connection with the war, as the Red Cross work abroad is practic ally finished, except in the far Balkan countries. Through the kindly interest of Mr. Bell, arrangements have been made so that all packages of clothing, etc., may be left at the Mount Hood hotel. lhe committee of the local Chapter looks and hojies for the same generous response and support for this contribu tion that has accompanied all previous cooperation by the citizens of Hood Kiver city and valley, and while the committee realizes that this is a very busy season for everybody it trusts that a little time and thought can be spared to help relieve the sufferings of that tar eastern people who are not yet through with their trials. We ask that all packages may be de livered to the Mount Hood hotel by or before Wednesday, October 8. Respectfully, Mrs. L. F. Henderson, Mrs. H. T.DeWitt, Walter Kimball. RED CROSS TO MAIN TAIN MEMBERSHIP E. O. Blancha.r chairman, and Wal ter Kimball, member of the executive committee of the Hood River Red Cross Chapter, were in Portland Mon day to join similar delegations from Chapters of Oregon, Idaho and Wash ington and meet Livingston Ferrand, who is now head of the organization. The assemblage was informed that the Red Cross would continue its member ship another year, asking from each member only a fee of $1. No campaign will be made for funds. The membership campaign will be made about Thanksgiving. I. W. W. WILL BE GIVEN SHORT SHRIFT Hood River was irate last Thursday. Business men on unolcking their stores and shops that morning found I. W. W. stickers plastered broadcast over the town. Recalling the action of a committee ot Dee orchardists, the majority of whom were ex-service men, growers say that any widspread obnoxious movements of reus here will lead to swift action on the part of a vigilance committee. Kent Shoemaker, temporary chair man of the American Legion Post, says that his organization is ready to help handle the 1. W. W., should they need restrictive mesures. Probability of a serious car shortage is the fly in the ointment of the orch ards at present. Weather conidtions. ideal since the bloss m season lat May, remain perfect for the maturity and full coloring of fruit, and, as a re sult of heavy rains the first of la.t month, not only Hood River, but all other mid-Columbia districts, will har vest a crop far in excess of the Uai nage of former years. But local railway officials and ship pers alike are worried over the car situation. Indications point to a scarc ity of refrigerator cars. In former years, when freezers were not avail able box cars were resorted to for ap ple shiumerts. This alternative mav not be possible this year, for the sim ple reason that an acute shortage of box cars is hlready prevailing. Growers are being warned to use every precaution toward a temporary storage of fruit. In case their ware houses are inadequate against frost, they are advised to preuare heating devices. Scores of orchardists have erected packing plants and warehouses this season, and this improvement will aid in caring for the big crop of ap ples. Favorable weather conditions have resulted in an increase cf mid summer estimates, and many shippers and growers are now of the opinion that the early government estimates placing the Hood River valley crot at 2,000.000 boxes will be realized, this realization of an increase in tonnage has brought about a recent new de mand for boxes, and the vailev at present is seriously short on boxes. The supply, shippers say, has been contracted for. and the demand will be met, if cars can be secured to trans port them here. C. B. Green, inspector from the Portlund federal employment office, arrived Monday and opened a free la bor agency in the sample room of the Mount Hood hotel. Pickers, except in some few localities, were plentiful the first of the week. A few agitators have appeared here, urging that harvest hands demand a minimum wage of 7 cents for picking and packing. They are given short shrift, however, by growers. The wage scale, as announced by the Asso ciation, will probably go unchanged. This scale is as follows : Pickyig, per box, 5c, aiuLGc if they stay through the season. Picking, per hour, 30c for women and 40c for men. Packers, per box, 5c to 0c. Sorting, 30c to 35c per hour. Warehouse help, 40c per hour. I WW .m-m-h-I-H-M-I 'H-I-M-M- Letters From and About Soldiers No experience of his army days was more exciting for Sidney B. Carnine than the recent strike of Boston po licemen. Young Carnine, who was bugler for the 12th Co., was recently discharged at Fort Adrews, Mass., where he was in charge of the radio station. On leaving the army, he be came a cub reporter on the Boston Post. In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Carnine, of Avalon Way. the ex-soldier writes: "I only hope nothing like this ever happens to the Apple City." George Watson has beceived a letter from his old friend, Fred F. Hallman, former Upper Valley boy, who has re covered, after a long siege at an army hospital, from wounds received in France. Mr. Hallman writes that he will soon enter a business college at Oshkosh, Wis., where his expenses will be paid by the government. file states that he hopes tojjreturn to Ore gon when he has completed the educa tion the nation has provdied for wounded soldiers. A slight prick from the steel strand of cable has resulted seriously for Geo W. Blodgett, Upper Valley rancher re cently returned from service in trance, Blood poison set in, his entire right arm swelling badly. Mr. Blodget came here Sunday for medical treatment. "It costs a fellow something in these times to be 'full of prunes.' " says ark A. Maver, owner of 150 acres of orchards in the Mosier district. Of Mr. Mayer's Mayerdale tract seven and a half acres are planted to p-unea. He has just completed the h irvest of a little better than 50 tons. "I wish that my entire 150 acres were in prunes," continued Mr. Mayer, "for I know of no crop that will pay the orchardist of Mosier better." Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Lewis have re ceived word from their son, Lieut. Francis C. Lewis, that he will leave soon for overseas service with the 5th Inf. Reg. Lieut. Lewis will act as as sistant adjutant of the Provisional Brigade, which will go to Germany as an independent command.

GralT and Leroy Childs, owners of one of the valley's biggest pear orchards, located on Dee Flat, have harvested an average of 1,000 boxes from four acres of Bart letts. While total returns have not been received on the variety yet, the growers will net better than $2 per box. These growers have a heavier acreage of d'Anjous, but this variety bore lightly this Beason in their local ity. The record d'Anjou returns will be made this season by Mrs. Gladys Brock, who harvested 1.344 boxes from 11 acres. Mrs. Brock's gross receipts will oe more man u.ouo.

ANTI-EMPLOYMENT MOVE VOTED DOWN Efforts of a radical element of orch ardists, opposed to Japanese residence here, who are desirous of preventing the employment of Japanese labor on the part of ranchers, have been de feated. The organization of growers, who recently met pledging themselves neither to .sell nor lease real estate to Japanese, was asked to include in its restrictions a pledge against employ ment. After debate the Anti-Asiatic association voted down the proposed amendment. Arneson Increases Cars L. H. Arneson has found the rural truck express business profitable. Mr. Arneson. as an experiment, put a Dodge Commercial in rural express this spring. His business has increased right from the start. The demands on his service have grown so that he has found it necessary to add a ton Chevro let truck. The new car has just arrived here with a handsome body made by Bunser & Martin, of Portland. Mr. Arneson, although he is one armed, is known as one of the valley's best and most careful chauffeurs. He will continue to drive one of the machines.
