piped water to the grounds this year,

The art department, which was so
UCCeaaful last year, is again expecting
a fine interest. 1'. L. Manser, howev
er, urges that exhibitors hasten to
make, their entries, as the space will
soon be gone. The art department alto
wishes to have displays entirely differ
ent from those exhibited last year.
Speaking of the exhibit that will be
made of the American Federation of
Arts, Mr. Manser says:
" 'Art in Every Home,' is the slo
gan under which the American Feder
ation of Arts has launched for circula
tion its exhibition of prints for the
home.
"The prints in question have heen
selected by a jury of experts. Every
taste and fancy of the individual may
he satisfied. Some 200 prints will be
shown, the great majority of them,
repreeenting the work of American
artists. There will also he a small
group of foreign subjects, as well as a
number of reproductions of famous
paintiltga by old masters. The prints
are in various sizes and finishes, and
suitable for framing and immediate
use.
"A moft interesting feature of this
exhibition is that there may be secured
through1 the American Federation of
Art duplicate of any of the pictures on
view at prices w hich readily accommo
date themselves to the size of any
home maker's purse, ranging as they
do from .'5 cents to $1H.
"This exhibitor) of prints forms one
of a number on tour throughout tin
country covering such subjects as paint
ings, architecture, sculpture, war me
morials, industrial arts, etc. These
collections and manyj illustrated lec
tures on various art subjects are kept
constantly in emulation by the Amer
ican Federation of Arts as part of its
general art educational work. The
present exhibition of priiits of chrome
decoration is the first step in a country
wide campaign which will ultimately
embrace many other aspects of home
decoration, such as textiles, pottery,
furniture, etc, these last mentioned
collections being now in preparation.''
W00LPERT VIEWS
EXPORT SITUATION
Despite the fact that control price,
lifted temiiorarily recently, will again
he applied November l.r, A. K. Wool
pert believes the cxrxirt demand for
Hood River Newtowns will result in
satisfactory prices for growers. While
xcharige has heen dropping steadily
for abit a month, it is predict
financiers that the Anglo-French loan,
which become due in October, may
react favorably and hrii g the iM.und
terling to $4 on exchange. The lon-
tiol price will go to 23 shillii gs and six
pence per box, whereas the former
maximum was 20 shillings. With ex
change at .'." per pound sterling a
box of apples will bring the grower
about $4.2.'!. but shippers must deduct
from this about JL14 for freight, in
surance and incidentals.
Mr. Woolpert cites encouraging ob-
servatons of Edward A. Foley, Ameri
can agricultural trade commissioner in
Indon, on the apple situation. Mr.
Foley points out the almost total fail
ure of the crop of the Kntish Isles and
the willingness and ability of the peo
ple there to buy. He declares that the
food ministry may be forced to raise
the maximum price. Colonial govern
ments have been making efforts to get
the apple price control lifted altogeth
er, but their attempts to date have
been in vain.
Mr. Woolpert says that all North
western growers should heed the ad
vice of Mr. Foley in regard to packing
their fruit. He quote from letter
from the Ixndon agricultural commis
sioner, which recently appeared - in the
Market Reporter, a United State Ie
partment of Agricultural publication,
follow :
"Considerable dissatisfaction is ex
pressed by the railroad companies of
Great Britain about the frailty of the
American apple box. An enormous
x-rur and the railway are

"The railroads are right in asking

LOCAL FOLK PLAN
ROUNDUP TRIP
Hood River will Send a fair quota to
the Round Up at I'endlelon next week.
Motorists who will tour through to the
Umatilla county city are expres. hta
pleasuie at the recent rains, which
they declare will lay the heavy dust
and result in much better roads in
eastern Oregon.
The Round-Up this year will lie at
tended by nurrerous national celebri
ties. William O, MeAdoo has written
that he will be present. Irvin S.Cobb
who is now on a hunt in central Ore
gon, has written to his wife to send on
from New York his best red shirt, it
hasn't been stated 'whether a cur has
been cbarterd for the shirt, which is
about the size of a circus tent.
Seventy bucking horses, more thai
ever before, will be available for the
best cowboy and cowgirl bucking riders
in the country. These earthquakes on
legs have been brought in from moun
tain pastures and from the ranges o
Wyoming and are in prime shape for
wild riding.
Pendleton will be quite a convention
city during Round - Up week. The
State Federation of Labor will meet
with between 800 and 400 delegates,
opening Sunday and ending Wednesday
night. The rest of the week is to be
used by most of the delegate in seeing
the Round-Up and Happy Canyon. The
sheriffs and county clerks of Oregon,
each with its own association, will also
convene there, using the mornings of
the three days for sessions. These three
meetings will bring hundreds to Pen
djelon. CROWD GREETS C.0V.
COX MONDAY NIGHT
An estimated 200 people were at the
O-R. & N. station Monday night to
greet (iovernor James M iddleton Cox,
democratic presidential nominee, nom
inee, en route from Cortland to Sail
Lake. While it was not expected that
Gov. Cox would talk, due to throat
trouble, after a brief introduction by
Dr. C. J. Smith, he began in a conver
sational lone to announce bis policies.
Some wag, yelling "all aboard," apoil
ed the speech. Gov. Cox stopped and
when the train did not poll out he be
gun again on the urging of Bishop I'ad
ioek, explaining his version of the
League of Nations.
During a loll Democrats heard Dr.
Smith telling Gov. Cox that Hood River
was the world's most famous apple dis
trict. Fvery Democrat in the audience
began mentally kicking himself for
having forgotten to present "Jimmie"
with a box of apples. Apples hail been
scheduled for the ipecral. but much to
the chagrin of all, somebody balled up
the plans. Whiletthe train was here
Judge Derbv was called to the platform
to greet Cov. Cox. J. M. Culberlaon
was pagid, but was missing.
NEW E.F.IIEADWORKS
STARTED MONDAY
Crews of men began work Monday on
the repair of tin- headworks for the
Fast Fork Irrigation District on the
Upper East Fork of Hood river. Sev
eral years ago a freshet in Hood river
washed out most of the old headworks
and a concrete intake was built.
It was recently discovered tint a
temporary wing dam had been washed
nut and as a result a current of the
stream was undermining the concrete
work. A new concrete diversion darn
will be built. It was necessary to post
pone the new construction until the
M'miii's irrigation was ended. Recent
rains have furnished i r hardists with
sufficient moisture, and the water can
now be diverted from the headworks
and repairs made.
AUTO PLUNGES INTO
HOOD RIVER (iORGE
F liiwrng a collision between auto
mobiles driven by S. A. Gould and A
I. Mason, the former drove his car into
the Hood river canyon Sunday night.
The accident was due to disarranged
steering gear and the front axle twist
ed in the collision. Mr. C.ould was ac
companied bv his wife, R. W. Simpson,
of Mosier, and Miss Lucreti Rodell,
in charge of the commercial depart
ment of the high school.
Although the car, plunging through
a wooden railing, dropped for 100 feet
down a 60 per rent rocky canyon, none
of the occupants was seriously injured.
All but Miss Rodell, who was throwr
out when the machine struck a stump,
jumped. Mr. Could claims that th
collision resulted from his being blind
ed by Mr. Mason' strong headlights.
The accident occurred just this aide
ofthe intersection of the new Mosier
road with the East Side grade.

Mr. and Mrs. A. (i. Lewis have just

the Rhine in Cermany, who tells of a
recent visit to Warsaw. Lieut. Lewie
was at the Polish capital when the bob
sbevist" made th -ir attack.
"You do not want to rest under the
impression that the Pole cannot
fiuht," he writes. "They are admir
able soldiers and the bolshevists now
know it. "
Lieut. Lewis says that conditions are
just as bad as the newspapers make
them out. All Kuropc fe.ars, he say,
that the bolshevists and Cerman work
ingrnen will get together and overrun
the Continent. The Polish repulse put
an end to such a calamity for the time
being.
