World War Veterans—Are You Carrying
Government Insurance?
Uncle Sam still offers the advantages of his insurance
policies to ex-service men and women. You have until
July 2nd to act—but unless you act by then, your chance
is gone.
Don’t pass it by! Here’s insurance at lowest rates.
Insurance backed by the government. Insurance with
liberal provisions. And no red tape ! ”
You can reinstate and convert the War Risk policy you
carried during the war—‘in multiples of $500, from $1000
up to $10,000. To reinstate, it’s only necessary to pay two
months' premiums. Unless you’re disabled, that is. Even
disabled men can secure the insurance, however.
If you are one of the 4,000,000 veterans who allowed
their Term Insurance to lapse — take steps to have it re
established. Get in touch with the Veterans Bureau—now.
When you look toward tomorrow—there will be safety
for loved ones, and for you, in this U. S. Government
Insurance.

Selling Methods
We believe that it is of interest to growers to know
how their fruit is handling even though it is sold for
cash.
We are doing business with firms in this coun-
try we have sold to for years, and who will want
both Apples and Peans the coming season, They know
our brand and quality of fruit
We are doing business directly by cable with
buyers in Europe, who buy with confidence having sold
our fruit for several years. Some of these buyers have
recommended us to others in new territory and we expect
so have increased call« for both Apples and Pears the
coming season. If interested in this method of selling,
we would like to talk to you.

The weekly dinner of the forum of
the chamber of commerce, held Tues
day at the Pine Grove Grange hall,
drew one of the largest numbers re
cently present at one of the weekly
meetings. More than 100 partook of
the sumptuous and delicious chicken
dinner* served by the Pine Grove
women. At the instance of Chairman
Bennett a vote of thanks was extended
the women and the grange for the
hospitality.
The meeting sounded a new note of
cooperative effort between city and val
ley folk. 'J. H. Kllbuck, master of the
grange, who spoke briefly, voiced such
a sentiment, and Rev. F. Gordon Hart,
who delivered a talk for the forum,
clinched the sentiment with a witty
and impressive urge toward a greater
cooperation.
A, F. 8. Steele and R. W. Kelly, who
with Arvo Hukari and M. O. Downing
were in Salt Lake City last week to
represent the Hood River Traffic asso
ciation at a conference tailed by the
United States Departmnt of Agricul
ture, reported on the meeting.
Mr. Kelly stated that it was an
nounced following a conference be
tween growers, shippers and the fed
eral authorities that growers will be
permitted to proceed during 1927 very
much as on the past year. When the
harvest of the 1P2M crop arrive«, how
ever, the laws governing pure food
products will be strictly enforced. Tbs
coming year as on last season regula
tions of foreign countries will be en
forced strictly.
"I am sorry,” said Mr. Steele, “that
all of the growers of the Pacifie north
west could not have been present and
have heard the addresses delivered at

pleasing, too, to learn that the most of
the work that has to date beeu accom
plished toward cleaning apples has
tieen done in Oregon. Frank Cutler
and Prof. Henry Hartmann, of tbs
Oregon Agricultural College were there.
Plana had called for the forwarding of
pamphlets from Washington, D. C., on
the «pray residue matter. A mesaage,
however, was at once forwarded to the
department to withhold distribution of
the documenta, for It waa shown by the
investigations of the Oregon men that
much of the data contained in them ,
was erroneous.”
Mr. Steele said the meeting wa- at .
tended by representatives from all sec
tions. California growers, who met
with difficulty last year because of the
federal regulations, were present They
declared they will meet the law in
every respect this year, California
growers, he said, will clean their fruit
by means of acid baths.
Mr. Hteele said the result of the
necessity of the government In enforc
ing the lews will result in the elimina
tion of apple growing in certain sec
tions where the control of the codling
moth Is a serious task.
Mr. Steele expressed the highest
praise for Secretary Phillips and E. W.

difficulty solved last fall.

MRS. BELL TELLS
OF TRIP SOUTH
“It was a vqgy pleasant trip, even if
it was a wet one,” said Mrs. C. A. Bell,
who with Fred H. Bell returned Hat-
urday from a tour of three weeks that
carried them as far south as T xm An
geles. On the way south Mrs. Bell and
Mr. Bell traveled for many miles with
out seeing the roadbed, for it waa
water covered. Stakes had ts-en driven,
they stated, at the side of the road, in
order that travelers might not be
ditched.
“We were held up by the floods on
our wsy down through the Hacramento
valley,” said Mrs. Bell, “and as we re
turned north we were delayed by the
heavy rains that had raised the
streams in southern Oregon. Bridges
were washed out. Sections of road
were gone. We certainly had all the
experience we want with detours. *
"But it waa interesting to note how
swiftly skilled highwsy crews were on
the job making reimirs, even before the
waters bad subsided.”
Mrs. Bell said that one of the things
that impressed her most on the trip
waa the presence of mbre cars On Ore
gon roads than on the highways of
California.
“Perhaps," she said, “it is not the
season of tonring in California. “But
we noticed that we met far more auto
mobiles here in Oregon than on the
highways of the south.”
Mrs. Bell says that the two places In
California that impressed her most
favorably were Stanford University
and Riverside Mission Inn. Hhe de-
clanes lx* Angeles nothing less than a
wonder city.
We traveled 3.518 miles,” said Mrs.
Bell, u ‘ i and never had the least car
trouble. In all that distance we saw
only three cars off the highway, despite
the weather conditions.

H.R.H.S. BASKETBALL
PLAYERS ELIGIBLE
Every member of the Hood River
high school basketball team, who
played thia season, is eligible, accord
lug to a statement made by Principal
F. 8. Knight, and substantiated by
office records of that institution. It
was charged by The Danes high school
that Bill Wright waa ineligible on ac
count of grades, presumably low or
failing grades. This is untrue, for Bill
Is and has beeu carrying three or more
subjecta all during this semester, with
passing grades In all of them. Also, It
was said that Victor Miller was in
eligible, alleging that be has already
played four years on a high school
team, the first year when he waa in
junior high school.
Mr. Knight told Principal Kirkwood,
of The Dalles, that if they had such
proof against Miller, that it would cen
taiuly make him Ineligible and that
Miller would not be played, but no
proof was produced. The Dalles, hav
ing no proof of its contentions, has at
no time submitted a protest to the
iMMkrd of control of the Oregon High
School Athletic association. In news
paperstatements originating from The
Dalles high school, it was said that
Tin* Dalles had protested Miller and
Wright. They objected to the players,
but did not protest them—a protest be
ing a written statement submitted to
the Oregon High School Athletic asso
ciation.
These statements are made, not in
any attempt to Incriminate The Dalles
uor to aggravate the feeling that seems
to exist, but rather to present the facts
as they really are, thereby making
clear to local folk who have taken
Hood River’s previous silence In the
nutter as a possible admission of the
charges The Hood River players are
all eligible, and aU records are open
for Inspection at any time, according
to word from the high school office.

"Our visits to ths park Were worth
