CLUB BACKS THE CHINESE RELIEF FUND The Commercial Club has endorsed the proposed Hood River county cam paign for raising $1,525 for aid of the famine-stricken Chinese. The financial committee of the club will join F. A. Olmstead, chairman of the campaign, in organizing to solicit the funds. A. F. Flegel, Portland business man, representing the state organization for relief of the Chinese, addressed the club members Tuesday night. It is difficult for Americans, who have never been hungry, to visualize the want and misery stalking through the northern provinces of the ancient Oriental country, said Mr. Flegel. Ten thousnd people, he declared, more than the entire population of the Hood River valley, are dying daily. Dead bodies are blocking streams of the country he said. Mr. Flegel said he had no alarm over Hood River not raising her quota. He said local organization in such work was taken as a pattern in other sec tions of the state. The visiting speaker pointed out how Americans of the west coast, leaving aside the great humanitarian question, should aid the Chinese, in order to check the tide of disease, cholera, ty phus and other scourges, following in ihe wake of the famine. Mr. Flegei prefaced his address with high tribute to Hood River valley, the scenic assets and the energy and enter prise of her people. "I do not know anything about the relative merits as between the Upper Valley and the I,ower Valley," said Mr. Flegel, "but I know, taking the two together, that you have one of the most wonderful valleys in the United States and therefore in the world. You people do not properly exploit your wonders." Mr. Flegel said that he heard a Hood River man drop a phrase in his office several years ago, anent the Hood River prestige, that he had never forgotten. The visitor explained that Hood R iver had won her reputation on the integrity of her pack. SCHOOL NEWS By Roberta C.

As a stimulation to composition work the pupils of the sixth grade in Park Street school have been having some practical work in letter writing. This was brought about at this time through the receipt of letters from school chil dren in Newberg telling about the natural and industrial advantages of that county. The reply letters were .formulated by the pupils of the sixth grade, the form of the letters and their contents, being the composite result of their class work. One of the letters and its answer are herewith shown. Newberg, Oregon, Feb. 24, 1921. To A Sixth Grade Pupil, Hood River, Ore. Dear friend: I am a sixth grade pupil of the Fernwood School, of New berg, Oregon. In our Geography's we were asked to write to you and tell you about our fruit industry. We raise lots of fruit and berries here. We have large prune orchards on the Dundee hills and we raise ap ples, pears, cherries, and peaches. There are also a lot of strawberries, loganberries, and raspberries raised. We have a large cannery in Newberg and another cannery in Springbrook. Please write and tell me about the fruit, whea,t and wool industries in your county. Yo.urs truly, Effie Powell. P. S. Please send to my address : Miss Effie Powell, Newberg, Oregon. R. D. 2. Hood River, Oregon, March 10. 1921. Miss Effie Powell, Newberg, Oregon. My dear Miss Powell: We received your letter telling us about the inter esting things you do in your county. The wheat and wool industries are not important in Hood River county, but we have fruit. Hood River apples are very famous. Besides sending them to many places in the United States we send some to Europe and South America. In the spring we have a special day called Apple Blossom Sunday, when thousands of people come to see the valley in bloom. We make cider, vinegar and soda water from cull apples. The city of Hood River has the largest vinegar factory west of the Missssippi river. We also raise strawberries to a great extent. The largest strawberry patches are in the Upper Valley near Parkdale. These vary from ten to fifty acres in size. Many of these strawberries are sent to the cities to supply the mar kets. The rest are sent to nearby canneries, the cannerv in Hood Kiver preserves some of the strawberries which they send to Vogan's in Port land, to be chocolate coated. This confection is becoming very popular. We Have cherry and pear orchards scattered over the valley, besides other fruits of less importance. If you plan on taking a vacation, we think you would- enjoy spending part of it at one of our summer resorts. From your friends, Sixth B Class, By Lottie Flint. (Mrs. Cramer's room. Park Street School.) WOMAN'S CLUB NEWS f, One of Jthe most enthusiastic meet ings of the season for the Hood River Woman's Club was that of last week.

We might say volumes in regard to CLETRAC performances, but the reproduced letters of owners are far ahead of anything we might say: PRICES ARE SAME AS USUAL, 10c & 35c Hood River, Ore., Mar. 15, 1921 HOOD RIVER GARAGE, Dear Sirs: In answer to request as to how the Cletrac and I are getting along, will say that we have not had one bit of trouble as yet. My first experience with the Cleveland Trac tor, as the Cletrac was then called, was in 1918 at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where Uncle Sam had three for pulling the large sea-planes out of the water. They had rubber plates on each piece of track as they were pulling on cement. They gave perfect satisfaction. My tractor arrived on my ranch one' year ago and with its arrival I sold my team and wagons and 1 do not expect to ever own another horse. I found that it will take from $450 to $500 a year to feed one team, therefore, grant ing that the tractor.does only the same amount of work as a team, it will practically pay for itself, by the saving of the feed bill, in 3 years. Now for a few facts, I double disced 26 acres for Mr. Purdy in 10 hours, using 12 gallons of gas and 3 pints of oil. I pulled 300 trees for Mr. Boyd Wrhfeh were about 12 to 14 years old in 6 hours and 535 trees for O. L. Walters in 14 hours, the trees being from 12 to 25 years old. All to gether I have pulled about 2000 trees besides doing discing and all my own work, Needless for me to say. I am perfectly sat isfied with my Cletrac and the Cletrac service. Yours truly, BILL McGUIRE Hood River, Oregon March 15, 1921 HOOD RIVER GARAGE, Hood River, Oregon Gentlemen: In regard to the Cletrac Tractor purchased last year, will say it has prooved very adaptable to general farm purposes, allowing us to perform a great many varieties of farm work in a most satisfactory manner in all kitids of weather and ground conditions. Respectfully, A. P. BICKFORD Prop. Pine Grove Store Mosier, Oregon Mar. 3, 1921 HOOD RIVER GARAGE, Hood River, Ore. Gentlemen: In regard to your service for the Cletrac purchased of you, will say you have never given us any as we have never needed it. The Cletrac did more than we expected or you claimed for it and is a good investment. We cultivated about 175 acres last year with the one we bought and were out just 15 cts. for repairs, one broken val ve spring. The Cletrac is all right. J. P. CARROLL Prop, of Carroll's Garage Hood River, Ore. Feb. 15, 1921 HOOD RIVER GARAGE, Hood River, Oregon Gentlemen: In reply to your letter of inquiry of Jan. 28th 1921, wishing to know how we were pleased with our CletfM we bought of you last year, wil say that this is the second Cletrac we have owned. We have used the tractor last summer with the best of satisfaction, doing the labor of sev eral teams on ground that was very rough and sandy in places, but we have NEVER found a time where we could not do any work that we started to do under conditions that horses could not have done in time. We can earnestly recommend the Cletrac to any one who wishes a machine that will never get mired in but what it can always get out it self. If we were to get another machine, it would be the same kind. Yours truly, IDEAL FRUIT & NURSERY CO. Per Aug.
