Last week we planted potatoes for our main c rop and to
some people it must look like rather expensive seed, for we
could get 12 cents per pound for those seed potatoes.
Likewise our new potatoes are coming on nicely and at the
.price offered for those it seems foolish not to put them on the
market, hut wait until the price drops. One of the greatest
drawbacks of our country ami especially the farming OBd of it,
la that very few think and prepare for tomorrow; one pound of
growing potatoes in the ground now will increase to 5 pounds
in a month, and 1 pound good seed planted now under intelli
gent culture will increase IS fold before harvest.
It has always been our aim to market our stuff when it is
matured, and while it has not been very profitable in some
instances from a financial standpoint, any enterprise must adopt
a system and stand by it, if it wants to succeed.
Of course our garden has grown ; our vegetables cannot be
gathered and handled by one man any more, but under our rules
anil supervision we aim to have our product

PORTLAND MEET
ATTRACTING ALL
PORTLAND IS MECCA FOR CARAVANS
Thousands of Nobles Expected to Visit
Hood River Latter Part of This
Week They're Welcome
Portland is the Mecca of the faithful
' this week.
Members, of the Aneient Order of
the Mystic Shrine from all comers of
j America have joifrneyed by special
j trains to the Rose City. The trainload
caravans began arriving Saturday.
Sunday thev were rolling down to the
Willamette by the score. Fourteen
Shrine specials passed through Hood
River Sunday and on that day. witn a
few exceptions, automobiles Ml round
numbers for the season, traveled west
ward laden with Shriners and their
families headed for the great Portland
Oasis of Shrinedom. t ars bearing
Montana. Idaho, Wyoming and Wash
ington license tags were interspersed
with numerous ones from eastern Ore
gon. It is estimated that fully BOO
passed through to the west Sundav.
All nature has s in i led a greeting.
Recent rains have left hillsides id as
nntly verdant While the sun has shone
brilliantly, a west wind has prevented
an unpleasant rise in temperature, and
not only have motorists, but hundreds
of Nobles who have passed through on
the special trains, making their last
stop hen' before reaching Portland,
been hi ard to praise Oregon weather.
Gasoline is plentiful, aid i.o tank
IcavtS Hood River empty. The Stand
ard Oil Co. has assured garages a full
supply throughout the week. Lack of
signs, however, has caused much in
convenience to motorists. Comprehen
sive signs weie placed Monday morn
ing acquainting motortait with the de
tour around the unpaved section of the
Highway belwen here and the Nickel
sen and Hinrichs corners. Sunday
Commodore Dean did valiant service,
having volunteered to direct motorists
how to get through the city and Frank
ton and Belmont districts over the de
tour. Members of the Shrine Club, will be
unable to spend more tlian a day in
Portland for the most part. They are
remaining on the job in Hood River to
see that visitors do not lack or com
forts. Most local families will visit
Portland during the week.
The Rose Festival, for which Port
land has made a worldwide name, is
also this week. The parades and fes
tivities of the Shriners, however, will
etdipse the great festival. The event
will be one of the greatest ever record
ed in Portland.
So great is the passnger tialFie in
and out of Portland this weak that
transportation of all freight, except
erishahle products and foodstuffs, has
been embargoed.
By Friday and Saturday, when the
Shrine program will be well over, No
bles from other states will begin tak
ing side trips Then Hood River is
expecting an mllux of thousands of
vi.-itors. Every preparation is being
made for them. A canvass has been
made of the city to secure "lodging
quarters, and private families are be
(ag asked to furnish meals, in CMS
hotels and restaurants are too over
crowded. In case you have nut been
solicited, call C. A. Bell or Walter
Walters.
Every visiting Shriner and his fam
ily will be riven an automobile ride,
through the valley j-nd a feast of the
community's famous Clark Seedling
strawberries.
The Commercial club is Cooperating
in every manner possible to make visit
of the Shriners to the Hood River val
ley pleasant. The following communi
cation haj been addressed to all club
members :
" The hosts of Shriners are upon us.
The Portland Shrine automobile com
mittee is unable to advise us how many
Shriners are coming to Hood River by
train and boat, but thousands are com
ing, and our only mians of showing
them that we appreciate their presence
is by taking them in our automobiles
for tours of the valley.
"Please hold yourself in readiness to
respond to a hurry up call from A. W.
Peters, in charge of transportation, in
case he needs your car. When he calls,
drop what vou are doing and go right
away to headquarters, take the party
assigned to you 'and show our visitors
around.
"You do not rfeed to be a Shriner to
loan your automobile just a Hood
Riverite. You know what this means
glad hand and willingness to do your
part."
Shriner headquarters for Hood River
have been opened at the Commsreial
club, where the visitors may rest, tike
a shower bath and make full use of the
club's commodious quarters.

NOTES ABOUT NOBLES
A committee of the Shrine club called
on J. IL Frtdriry last week and tried
to persuade him to go to Portland and
lead his red, white and blue lizard in
one of the great Shriners' parades.
While Mr. Fredricy is not a Shriner,
he is head of the local F.Ik's (Tub
bunch of Bills, and is doing everything
Itosrible to make the visit of Nobles
here blear-ant, and he declare he
would like to help out.
"Nothing would give me and my liz
ard greater pleasure than to associate
for awhile amU frisk around with the
Nobles," says Mr. Fredricy, "but I
will be too bus getting special trains
through Hood River."
With her famed weather eye for pub

Hood River lizard and indiretcly claim
