HEARTENING
!
We have heartening message for
the men and women of Hood River
who have signed the guaranty contract
that will bring chautauqua entertain
ers here again next summer. The
other day a Valley woman made a
special journey to the Glacier office
to tell of her appreciation of the guar
anty. "I would feel that a most important
part of the summer were missing,"
Baid the caller, "if the chautauqua
were to be eliminated. I look forward
to the six days of, to me, entertaining
and educational amusement as the one
big thing of the year. I plan for
months ahead of time and make those
six days my annual vacation. I attend
the lectures, hear the splendid music,
laugh at the clever jests of speakers
and return to my home refreshed for
the daily tasks that a housewife is
familiar with. The experience reju
venates me, I am lifted from the rut
of daily routine. I would not be with
out the chatauqua, for it benefits me
physically as well as mentally. It is
better than a tonic of drugs."
And there are scores of others who
have expressed a similar sentiment in
a somewhat different way. Why not
let's all begin now to make the chau
tauqua of 1918 the best Hood River
has ever had.
ROAD CONDITIONS
It is interesting to note the contra
dictory reports of incoming motor
tourists on the condition of the Colum
bia River Highway and to hear their
diametrically opposed versions on Hood
River Valley highways. We hear some
who are unstinted in their laudation of
the Columbia River Highway, of
course, interspersinsg it with a few
"it's pretty rough and crooked, but
that's to be expected." While others
long for the vocabulary of William
Shakespeare to bring to bear in their
condemnation. We have been put to
it to reconcile these opposing views.
The dawn was glimpsed recently in an
article in Sunday's Oregonian from a
iWiaaHartr n"eiondent. 'Then a
circus came to Hood River.
When the circus left we heard about
a half of the big crowd that had wit
nessed the daring feats beneath the
big top say the show was one of the
best they had ever seen, while the
other half just cussed and wished it
had not spent the 50 cents admission
fee. A strong wind prevailed the day
of the circus, and it was a hot day.
Those of the crowd who occupied west
side seats were fanned by the clean,
cool breeze, while on the opposite side
of the tent, the wind blew just about
as stiffly, but it was laden with dust
from the arena and the smell of the
menagerie. And so some of the motor
travelers sail over the roughest of
roads without tire or engine trouble,
while the other portion, replace a tire
or are towed in to a garage. Thus
circumstances have a great altering
effect on post motor trip expressions.
APPLE ESTIMATES
Provided the apples of the coming
fall crop can be distributed normally,
that is, provided the car facilities for
the transportation of them will be fur
nished shipping agencies at the desired
time, the tonnage of 1917 should be
moved at most advantageous returns
for growers. At least all things indi
cate such a result. The Bureau of
Crop estimates of the United States
Department of Agriculture has just
issued a bulletin on crops, which indi
cates a yield slightly in excess of that
of last season. We have nearly always
found these preharvest estimates sub
ject to a meterial discount, and we
predict that as the fruit nears the
picking time the government report
will shrink. A feature of this season's
bulletin is encouraging to the grower
of a commercial fruit district. While
some of the larger shipping sections
show a heavier yield than last year,
the increase for the most part takes
place in districts that produce only a
barnyard grade of apple and thus that
do not figure in the general fruit
marketing.
A further encouraging condition for
the apple grower prevails in the
banana situation. The great need for
trans-Atlantic shipping is leading to
the commandeering of bottoms used in
the banana importation, and smaller
stocks of this universally used fruit
may be expected. The orange crop,
it is said, is far below normal yield. It
is up to the Hood River grower to
spray to kill the codling moth and
pray for plenty of cars.
Some clever advertising man ought
to read carefully the recent leading
acrticle in Better Fruit, the same hav
ing been prepared after exhaustive
study by that publication's editor,
E. H. Shepard, and prepare from its
suggestions a slogan that should be
Bounded often, and with the "pep"
that punchy slogans arouse, into the
ears of apple marketing men. Mr.
Shepard 's article points conclusively
to the fact that one of the ills of the
apple game is lack of distribution.
EVAPORATORS
On moat all of Hood River Valley
ranches a surplus of fruits and vege
tables will go to waste unless saved
for winter use by evaporation. This
surplus may be cheaply and easily
claimed from waste, and the Oregon
Agricultural College is showing the
people of Oregon theway of construct
ing home-made evaporators. The col
lege horticultural department has de
vised an evaporator of six bushels ca
pacity that will make the fruit ready
for packing after aew hours.
A bulletin, fully illustrated, telling
how to make the home drier will be
mailed to all applicants'by the college.
Twelfth Company has gone. We
miss our boys. The town is an alto
gether different place since they left
We miss their youthful spontaneity,
their energy in business and on ranch,
the cheerful smile of their greeting.
A large number of the boys gave up
places of responsibility, positions that
they or those dependent on them can
ill afford to relinquish. These places
should be held for the boys until their
return, no matter how long they may
be away the places they left or bet
ter ones. We of Hood River want to
keep this thought alive. ,
The Northwestern apple growers
have answeredthe call of the Presi
dent, who said, "Theailways are the
arteries of the nation's life, and upon
their employes rests the immense re
sponsibility of moving the products' of
the nation promptly and properly,"and
with the minimum load of fruits in
creased materially, each refrigerator
car will be forced the coming fall and
winter to render a miximum of service.
Military drills should not be lacking
in Hood River because Twelfth Com
pany men have gone. The special
deputy sheriffs recently sworn in by
Sheriff Johnson ought to be organized
along military lines. The men should
drill regulary and thus accustomed to
strict discipline they will be able to
handle with a minimum of trouble any
labor disturbances that we may have.
A well disciplined home guard would
go far toward preventing labor difficul
ties when apple harvest time rolls
around.
For us of the Hood River Valley the
great day has come. We are on the
eve of the actual construction work of
the las! laps of the Columbia Highway
between here and the paved end of the
road at Cascade Locks. The road will
soon be graded and then will follow
the paving. It is a time that we
should recall the names of S. Benson
and Samuel Hill and we should all re
joice. ,H.MM"I"M"H"H"I"I"l-li l W W

Hood river and Herman creek, both
in this county, have been declared
spawning streams for the proagation
of salmon by the State Game and Fish
Commission, and all fishing, except
angling with rod and line, will be pro
hibited. The Commission has also
posted Eagle creek, lying partly in
Hood River and partly in Multnomah
county, which will be maintained as a
spawning stream.
Deputy Game Warden W. 0. Hadley,
of The Dalles, was here Saturday to
file the formal papers of closing the
streams at the office of the county
clerk.
A peculiar result followed an after
noon of fishing by the following local
men Sunday afternoon: Dr. J. M.
Waugh, Judge Derby, H. H. Larkin,
E. J. Middles wart and J. H. Fredricy.
When the men returned to their ren
dezvous it was discovered that each
had an even dozen trout. The creels
of Messrs. Fredricy, Derby, Middle
swart and Waugh were identical.
When Mr. Fredricy investigated his
fish basket on arriving home he found
it was not his own. He motored at
once to the home of Judge Derby,
thinking it was the latter's basket.
Dr. Waugh, however, had switched his
basket with Mr. Fredricy. Instead of
taking it to the owner, however, he
had hurried to the Middleswart home.
The men journeyed to the West Fork,
where the fish were caught, in Mr.
Fredricy's Dodge.
Says a dispatch from Helena, Mont :
The far-famed Fallon county jackass
has been matched. When assessments
came in last year, Fallon county was
found to contain only one jackass.
Assessment lists returned last week
from Sheridan county show that, while
the county contains 4000 sheep and
1000 lambs have been dropped this
year, there is only one ram in the
county. Assessors have named the
ram "King Solomon."

When Geo. H. Lynn returned Satur
day evening from a fishing trip and
was cleaning his mess of fine trout he
found in one of them, a 17 inch trout
a seven inch trout that the bigger fish
had swallowed. Stomach fluids were
just bringing about the digestion of
the smaller hah, and its skin was dis
integrating. Out of curiosity, Mr. Lynn opened
the stomach of the smaller fish and
there he discovered the remains of two
still smaller fry that the rapacious
trout, now a victim itself, had made
victims of.
Dr. J. M. Waugh and family returned
the later part of last week from a fish
ing and camping trip on the McKenzie
river. Dr. Waugh reports that the
fishing was fine.
R. P. Bonham, H. B. Hazard and C.

Taking No Chances,
Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas tells
this one on himself:
"I had an appointment to speak at a
town In eastern Arkansas on a Satur
day, and I arrived on a late train tbe
night before, carrying nothing but a
small hand grip. There was no one on
duty at tbe hour except tbe night por
ter, and he was acting as porter, clerk
and general overseer. I registered, and
he showed me to a room. But in a
few minutes be came back and said:
"Boss, my 'struction Is, when a gem
man haven't any baggage, to collect In
advance.'
"'Why, I've got baggage,' I replied,
pointing to the little grip.
" 'I know, sir, boss,' he said, 'but
you've stayed too long on that al

Pinch Hittsr In a Pinch.
From a section of tbe big city where
"they hit 'em over tbe ear just to see
'em fall," according to a local ball
player with minor league experience,
a resident of that excitement produc
ing neighborhood wrote to tbe man
ager of a small league team for a Job
In the outfield. Contrary to custom,
be did not go at length into a descrip
tion of his talent 8, but merely stated
that he was qualified to bold a posi
tion. This undue modesty, coupled with
tbe fact that the manager really was
in need of an outfielder, prompted the
boss of tbe team to wire back:
"Can use you if you can bit"
Later in tbe day be decided that he
would give tbe candidate a trial, at any
rate, and wired:
"Join team here. We will refund
your transportation."
Tbe two telegrams apparently reach
ed tbe young ball player at about the
same time, for tbe manager received
tbe following reply to both messages:
"Can hit pill, but can't raise dough."
Tbe outfielder was wired transporta
tion. Louisville Times.
Ths Summir Home.
Here la a story concerning Nat Good
win and a former spouse which served
to amuse a party of friends at the
time. Tbe Goodwins at that time pos
sessed a fine country home on tbe
banks of the Thames river, near New
London, Conn. Every summer they
used to invite some of their Thespian
friends to Join tbeir bouse party. On
one such occasion Mrs. Goodwin de
livered a bouraot which is worth re
peating. "Mrs. Goodwin," said some one. "you
certainly have a fine place here. Just
think of it a lawn right on the river!"
"Yes," was the reply, "It's fine. In
tbe spring we have tbe lawn on the
river, and in tbe fall we have tbe river
on tbe lawn." Boston Record.

In Illinois there is an old law on tbe
statute books to tbe effect that In crim
inal cases the Jury is "judge of the law
as well as of the facts." Though not
often quoted, once In awhile a lawyer
with a desperate case makes use of It
In one case tbe judge instructed the
jury tbtt it was to judge of tbe law as
well as tbe facts, bnt added that it was
not to judge the law unless It "was
fully satisfied that It knew more law
than the Judge. An outrageous verdict
was brought In, contrary to all instruc
tions of tbe court, who felt called upon
to rebuke the jury. At last one old
farmer arose.
"Jedge," said he, "weren't we to
jedge tbe law as well as the facts?"
"Certainly," was the response. "But
I told you not to judge the law unless
you were clearly satisfied that you
knew the law better than I did."
"Well, jedge," answered the farmer

RED CROSS HELPS
MEN OF 12TH CO.
The benefit of efficient organization
was practically demonstrated last
week when the Red Cross Chapter was
called upon to assist in taking care of
some of the comforts of the members
of the Artillery company.
The committee in charge of the sew
ing and supplies, headed by Mrs. E. R.
Moller, were called upon on short no
tice to supply 109 Red Cross comfort
bags. The entire sewing department
of the Chapter was turned over to this
work and by the time of mobilization
the bags were ready for delivery. Af
ter the boys were in camp it was found
that quite a number did not have any
thing to put in the comfort bags, so
the Red Cross supplied them with 25
each of the following articles : Toilet
soap, tooth brushes, tooth paste.combs,
wash clothes, and two bath towels a
piece.
When the boys began to complain of
the cold after the first two nights of
the encampment, due to scanty bed
ding equipment, Major Brosius, who is
chairman of the Military Relief com
mittee of the Hood Rive. Red Cross
Chapter, suggested that heavy woollen
socks to be worn at night be supplied
each member of the company. The
Supply Committee promptly purchased
109 pairs and presented them to the
company on Saturday. In addition the
Red Cross also gave the company a
dozen white coats and caps and two
dozen white aprons, for the mess de
partment. The Chapter is desirous of supplying
the comfort bags to every Hood River
boy who has enlisted in other branches
of the service. If the names and ad
dresses will be sent to Mrs. A. C.
Lofts, these bags will be promptly
mailed.
8trength of Oystsrs.
If a man, In proportion, bad the
strength of an oyster be could lift a
locomotive with ease. With tbe mus
cles with which an oyster of good size
holds its shell closed a weight of thirty-five
pounds can be supported. A
weight of more than six pounds Is re
quired to force apart tbe shell of a
common mussel, and In the Mediter
ranean a clam exists that will support
nearly 600 times its own weight
equivalent to a 150 pound man sup
porting more than thirty-six tons.
These Interesting facts have been
brought to light by a series of experi

of special construction, the insects
were prodded Into attempts to escape

Ths "What Is It."
"When I was a boy in Ohio there
came to town one day a covered wagou
containing a mysterious animal which
was to be exhibited at the opera house
that night" said a St. Louis gentleman
who still recalls with relish some of
his youthful adventures. "They called
this creature the 'what is it' and that
night we all crowded into the opera
house to see it The curtain was down.
Presently there was a rattle of chains
behind the curtain and a scream. A
man rushed out leaped over tbe foot
lights and started up the aisle, shout
ing: " 'Run for your Uvea! The "what Is
if Is looser
"We got out In a hurry. All of us
who could not get to the door went
through tbe windows. After the ex
citement bad quieted somewhat we
discovered that the two showmen who
brought the 'what is it' to town had
disappeared with tbe receipts. I re

An Odd Experiment.
A'- strange and amusing experiment

Place a copper com on a silver coin.
The former should be at least three
elxteenth Inch smaller all around than
the latter. A cent and i half dollar

they are larger. On the copper coin

It for the instant its damp body,
which is in contact with the copper,
touches tbe silver It starts a current
of electricity that gives it a shock.
The shock makes the worm recoQ. It
tries again, but each time its bead
touches tbe silver it gets the shock
and soon finds it is more comfortable
to stay on the copper coin.

Nickel In 8oapmaklng.
It will probably be news to the aver
age ablutlonlst that tbe metal nickel
Is used in making his soap. And fur
ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn
that although the nickel, finely ground,
is mixed with tbe other soap Ingredi
ents tbe finished product contains
none of it This la so because the
nickel acts as wbat the chemists call
a catalyst that is, Its presence causes
certain desirable changes to occur, al
though It takes no part in the chemi
cal reaction. Offensive oils and those
too thin for satisfactory use when
mixed with finely divided nickel and
subjected to the action of a current
of hydrogen become deodorized and
harder and suitable for the soapmak
er's use. Cottonseed oil, for example,
after tbe nickel-hydrogen treatment
makes a satisfactory soap. Pittsburgh
