SOME PUMPKINS ON SESSIONS ST.

Mr.. George Gibson, of the Ken

vines to come up in a corner of his
garden last spring on Sessions street.
They continued to grow and spread
until they had covered almost half

vine. He has gathered 3S pump
ktns from them, the heaviest one
weighing so liz lbs, the next Al,
and so on down to the smallest
which weighed 8 lbs. He has solf
some and fed some to his COW and
his Berkshire pigs and is saving a
few for Thanksgiving pies. This
kind of vegetable requires no Guilt

POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM.

The Marietta Post office has a

department although the rate of in
terest is only two per cent per an
mum. Our postmaster says:
"The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hosti-
lities opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to increase
by leaps and bounds and withdraw

first met his eyes, in the ability and
purpose of the Government TO carry
out its obligations, not only among
the nations of the earth, but with
the humblest citizen of our land.
Two important results have fol-
lowed; thousands of people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pa
irons of our postal savings system;
and enormous sums of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at time
when the need of every available dol
lar is pressing.
Scores of offices have done more
postal-saving business since the war
has been going on than was done by
them during the previous existence
of the service. The increases are con-
fined to no special localities, but
have been felt in every nook and cor
ner of the country.

SHOWS SHOP HAS
FACTORY APPEARANCE

After one sees the activity now dis
played at the blacksmith shop of W.
&. Snow on Fourth street, he cannot
but feel that the slogan of year ago.
more Factories, " has in a sense come
true. The shop is not small one for a
town of the size Of Hood River, and yet
every bit of available space is filled
with material, while nine busy work
men are making and assembling parts
Of apple racks. box mailing presses and
the Cutler apple graders. The person
mel of MIR. Shows force is now as fol-
lows: Fred Peterson, S. M. Dick,
Ezra Wall, J. d. Wall, Wilbur Carnes,
r. K. lmholz. II. c. Chase. Roy Evin-
ger and Carl Nash. With the press of
work the proprietor, himself, is kept
busy and A. b. and Frank w. Cutler,
who are getting out the popular grad
ing grading machines, are found at
the shop the most of the time.
The Cutler graders and the Improved
box mailing presses are not only being
manufactured for local demand. The
former are being sent to all Pacific
coast apple districts. while the mailing
presses are going as far east as Wash
ington, D. c. MIR. Snow shipped one
of the presses to the Agricultural De-
partment of the Southern Railway Co.
at that city Monday. They purchased
two of the popular devices last year.
The presses are used in demonstration
work throughout the southern states.
In addition to getting out the mailing
presses and graders, Mr.. Snow is re-
ceiving numerous calls for apple racks.
The Hood River creamery is rising
just north of the Snow factory, and on
its competitor this will be a lively por-
tion of the city.

FINLEY WILL ADDRESS
LOCAL SPORTSMEN

Hood River sportsmen met last
Thursday at the rooms of the CONNER

interested in the game and fish of the
county and their protection will meet
again next Saturday night, when an
address will be delivered by W. l.. Fin

mission. MIR. Finley will illustrate his
talk with several thousand feet of
moving picture films. He will make
an especial appeal to the citizens for
game and fish protection.
Mr.. Finley will come to Hood River
at later date, when he will deliver
an educational address to the children
of the city schools on game protection.
S. l.. Sandry, chief deputy Of the
State Game and Fish Commission for
southern Oregon, has been here con.
sulting with the members of the boards
of directors of the various irrigation
systems. An effort is being made to
have the irrigation companies use re
vOlVing screens, which have been ap
proved by the commission, on their
bitches. Thousands of young fish are
allowed to become destroyed because
of lack of screens. If the companies
will purchase the screens the commits

for the dumping of sawdust and bark
into the river is likely to result.

THE ORIGIN OF THE
BALDWIN APPLE

Long has the fame of the Baldwin
apple, that luscious red fruit, been es-
tablished throughout the United States.
As boys we hooked" them, as grown
ups we bought them, but they were the
same crisp, juicy Baldwin no matter
which way we secured them.
According to Nellie NJ. Baldwin Far
mer, of pittsburg, all Baldwin apples
come from trees that are merely sCions
of famous tree which belonged to her
great great uncle, LOammi Bald win.
In order to perpetuate the Baldwin APP
Pile and the family name of Baldwin at
one and the same time, she has pur-
chased farm of l75 acres at Hamp-
ton Falls, N. H., where she has set out
2, 900 trees Of the famed variety.
Mrs. Farmer tells an interesting
story of how the Baldwin apple was
discovered. as follows:
"Luammi Baldwin, my great great
grandfather brother, was out hunting
near Wilmington, Mass, one autumn
many years ago before the outbreak of
the War of the Revolution.
"He came upon wild apple tree,
laden with beautiful fruit and, on tast-
ing, found the apples upon it were the
most delicious he had ever eaten.
Realizing that here was something
worth far more than the rabbits he
was after in an afternoons fun. he
took a handful of scions from this new
tree and arriving home, quickly
grated them on to young apple trees
of suitable points.
In about five years Uncle Baldwin
began to present his neighbors with a
table apple that had new flavor SO
delicious that he was always forced to
make explanations. It's a new tree
I've found, and III give you some
sciOns- i call it the Pippin apple, he
said.
but the neighbors forgot all about
what Uncle Baldwin called his pet APP
pies. They always referred to them as
the Baldwin apple trees, and so the
name has clung down to the present
time, when there are millions of Bald
win apple trees, all descended from
that wild tree in Wilmington.
For many years the wild tree lived
and tlourished and was visited by many.
After it died there was erected by the
citizens a monument where the stump
was crumbling to dust.
