AY, JANUARY 21. 1926 It's the end of the runthat counts » It’s the crew that finishes strong that wins the race. And it’s the lubricant that takes you safely through the last few miles that saves your motor. Most oils lubricate well when they are first put in your crank-case, but we made Parabase to take care of those last few miles when all the damage is done by faulty lubrication—the miles when you say to yourself, ”1’11 let her go another hundred before I put oil in again.” Parabase stands up in your motor un der the stress and heat. It does not quickly break down and lose its lubri cating qualities. Here is insurance that at the end of the run your motor will be as sound, so far as the lubrication of its moving parts is concerned, as it was when you started. Drain your «rank-case now. Tell your garage or service station man to fill up with Parabase. Notice the immediate difference in your car’s performance— and know that at the "end of the run it will be as perfect.

Let the Good Work Radiate Parkdale, Or., January 1«, 192«. Editor Glacier: In last week’s locals the world was notified that Parkdale to going to beautify. Fine work, but why confine the activity to Parkdale which, unfortunately for her, to not on the highway? Why not beautify every thing along the Loop in the way of grubbing out decrepit fruit trees, paint ing building», demolishing old shacks, scattering flower seed, etc. It to along this route that the tourist (used la it» former sepse) travels to gather a hasty impression of the valley once famous for its products, hardly distinguished for its hamlets. Several year» ago I was coming west on the North Bank from Spokane. On the rear of the train was a lady of evident means and refinement in a party traveling from the Atlantic coart. As we rode along (it was a hot afternoon in early 8ept«*mher) the lady In question occupied most of her time in captious criticism of every thing in view, ranging all the way from the most inspiring scenery to dead animals^ying along the right-of- way. She completely surrounded her self with the atmosphere (a sort of hydrochloric halo) “If thia to the West, none for me.” This situation ran along until when at Erand Dalle« some uninformed per son announced, at seeing The Dalles across tlie river, "There’s Hood River.” All craned their necks to get a glimpse of the famous locality. Realizing in stantly the man’s mistake I braced myself for the onslaught that I was certain would be precipitated, but alas, to my pleasure and surprise she Mid, “Well, now. Hood River, Hood River apples, there's one thing in the west that's really what it’s cracked up to be, so that 1» Hood River.” Her interest was so apparent, and knowing she would get a very poor view of Hood River after I got off at White Salmon, I never corrected the Impression. Now for the other aide. One morn ing In San Francisco during the expo sition I was waiting to see Mr. Ravlin, who was In charge of the big red apple hollowed out to accommodate a lovely .little mlototure of the valley. The bl* apple was on a dais or platform around which Mr. Ravlin arranged boxes of fresh packed fruit. I was standing a little to one side when a young couple (possibly Californians) came »trolling along and yere arraated at sight of the beautiful exhibit. The young woman expressed great favor with the boxed apple» but her consort thought otherwise and remarked, “Oh, that's nothing, those are just exhibit apple«, you ought to aee the old junk they ship from there, worms and every thing." - Those of ua who know the Inside know that both Impressions were erro neous. Hood River’s fame will rest primarily on the excellence of Its fruit a» shipped to the outside world. In the next place importance should be at tached to the attractiveness of the val ley itself, and after that any and all the little odds and ends that a typical commercial club to apt to over-empha size. Let Parkdale cl«*an up if she will, all well and good, but let what might Is* called the Loop Highway Zone come first Russell G. Pond.

Wasco Growers Want Water At a meeting of The Dalles-Wasco county Chamber of Commerce last week, tentative plans were discussed for launching a campaign to secure ir rigation systeinn. W. 8. Nelson, execu tive secretary of the chamber, declared that the future development of ths county depends on »retiring water. Th«* Dalles section prodnces a large tonnage of street cherries. -As the trees age, however, the yield decreases and the quality of the fruit d«M*linee.
