RURAL CREDITS

AS this edition Of The Gem Worker
is TO be circulated among the farmers
of Ada county we present on our first
page an interview given to the press
by David Lubiu, of Sacramento, one
of the most active advocates of per-
fectdd rural credits system in the
United States In this interview Mr..
Lubin shows that by proper organi-
cation and rural credit system that
marketing of farm products would be
carried on in a scientific manner and
that the farmer would find market
for produce that now goes to waste
and the cost of living would be mater
tally reduced to the city resident. The
Gem Worker believes that the most
vital subject for the consideration OF
idaho lawmakers as far as the well
fare of the agricultural community is
concerned is this very proposition of
workable rural credit law. The state
of Oklahoma appears to have solved
the problem and will have done so if
newly enacted statute of that state is
found to be workable The Oklahoma
plan furnishes money on farm loans at
a rate of four per cent, and the entire
debt, both principal and interest, is
extinguished in 23H years in regular
payments every six months of stated
sum, which is at the rate total OF
eight dollars per annum on each $lOO
Borrowed The money first loaned
is the irreducibIe school and other
similar funds of the state, and then
additional money is obtained by the
issuance of bonds secured by the
mortgages obtained upon these loans.
This would make an endless chain OF
money obtained on bonds and loaned
TO the farmers. The plan is worthy
of consideration by the farmers socie-
ties of Idaho, and if found feasible
should be urged upon the next Leg
5slature.
The prosperity of all classes rests
primarily upon the prosperity of the
farmers, who are the creators of the
annual agricultural output of the
country. If the farmers are prosper
GUS, ali other classes will be CORE
spondingly benefited, and the one
great essential to the prosperity OF
the farmers is money at a low rate OF
interest. Interest rates are notorious
Nv high in Idaho in comparison with
.other states, and under present day
conditions this is not only unjust but
is unjustihable upon any good BUSH
ness grounds. Agents of mortgage
companies are reported securing the
state of Kansas to make loans at 8
per cent and it should be as easy
for these concerns to operate in Idaho
as in Kansas. These matters should
be taken up by the Grange and kim
bred organizations and the aid of
bankers and business men generally
secured to the end that cheap money
may be made the basis of the pros
perity of the farmers Of the state.

The constant slogan Of every good
union member is to patronize home Inc
dustries. The building UP OF home in-
dustries gives employment to our own
people and is the very best essence
of local patriotism.
AS we have stated before ii these
columns some big cigar factories
could be built up in Boise Il YOU and

having Boise made cigar every time
we smoke. Let us all try It.
Local factories can bring their prod

ronizing home industries by using the
advertising columns Of The Gem

Commercial Club Notes

The exhibit of Anthony Euwer's pie.
lures in the assembly room of the Club
attracted a stream of visitors all Of
last Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Artists have come to Hood River,
painted their pictures and gone away
and few have had the pleasure of see
ing their work, but Mr.. Euwer's charm
ing personality has made him host Of
friends here who have insisted that
others have an opportunity of seeing
how he spends his time. About 10 un-
framed, but matted, water color and
pastel sketches were shown and the as
sembIy room of the Commercial cl.b
became an indoor reflection of the
gIories of Hood River valley. Satur-
day evening MIR. Euwer entertained an
audience that packed the hall with his
unique rhymtlets Of Cats and other
things, principally Others Anyone who
heard Mr.. Euwer Saturday night made
a good companion for Sunday dinner
Hood River has many attractions, and
among them is Anthony Euwer in the
summer time.
meeting Of the county court, city
council and club directors was held in
the parlors last Friday evening, giving
attention to the matter of a publicity
fund for the valley during 1916. The
club directors were instructed to pre-
pare tentative budget stating under
what heads money would be required
and in what amounts, and submit to
the Council at last Mondays meeting,
and TO the county court who are now
delVinE into the budget.
A glance at the list Of club members
shows that the different activities of
the club are supported by men of wide
~ varying interest There is room in
the club for every man with ideas and
who is willing TO work for the good of
Hood River. Every once in a while
the directors are gratiied by receiving
the application of someone who has
discovered in the club a means for fur
thermg the progress of the county. 1t
is unfortunate that geuerally when a
man gives his time for public work
suspicion gains that he has SomoIselhsh

club has on its records many instances
of unselhshress that would be revela-

COUNCIL GRANTS NO
DOCK PRIVILEGE

The city Of Hood River will not grant
any river boat lines the privilege of
landing at the foot of Colubmia street
on the Columbia river front. Resting
under the misunderstanding that such
privileges had .been granted the Pee
pies transportation Co, the council
was on Monday night in receipt of
letter from Wood. Montague a. Hunt,
of Portland, attorneys for The Dalles,
Portland & Astoria Navigation Co.,
who suggested a suit at equity to clear
the municipality Of any entanglements
that might arise from such an action.
The judiciary committee of the'cOuncll,
however, reported that 1t had given
llcenes or privileges to no river boat
company to make use of its river front
age that would conflict with the use OF
the property for street purposes.
10 cure an i'll that the. city has suf-
fered from for many years, the road
fund invariably having to be annually
bolstered by transfers from the general
fund, the city council has ordered an
ordinance prepared calling for an
amendment to the charter, the same to
provide for maximum. tax leVy.nf hive
mills annually tor street purposes ln-
stead of the present maximum of two
mills.
The charter amendment will be voted
on at the mex general municipal cleo
tion in December.
Through action taken Monday night
the city will bring to a close the mat
ter of the dedication Of street by }.
+. Batchelder IN the west part OF the
city. The street will extend from the
west end of Railroad avenue and fur
ulsh an outlet for the new spray fac
tory now being constructed by j. Z.
Butcher.
Truman Butler was appointed by the
council a member of a committee, to
he composed of representatives Of the
Commercial club and county court,
which will deliberate over and decide
on the sum to be appropriated for the
community's publicity needs next year.
The club proposes to raise 500, and
like amount is asked from both the
county and city. Of this sum Loo
will be used for the purpose OF paying
a salary of club manager.

The Welsh fusileers were presented
by Queen Victoria with a goat, which,
after several years az exemplary CON
duct, fell into bad ways. Its culminat.
ing act of insubordination occurred
when the regiment was quartered at
Wrexham, and one fine summer even
ing after mess the officers were stroll
ing about smoking and enjoying the
fresh afr. The colonel stopped down
TO push In the end of his trousers strap,
and the goat, which happened TO be
close by, found the temptation irresist-
ible. He charged tiercely and butted
his commanding officer against an ad
jacent wall with such force that both
his eyes were blacked and bis face
was otherwise damaged. BY this es
capade the goat earned the title Of
"the Rebel" and only the good record
OF his early years of service saved him
from being drummed out-London Ex-

TUESDAY WAS APPLE DAY

Commercial organizations through,
out the state are worked for big pub
licity for the apple Tuesday. 1t was
"Apple Day." and the king of fruits
ruled supreme at the Panama-P Pacific
exposition at San Francisco. Hood
River was on the lips Of thousands
of people in the great Pacific metropo-
lis Tuesday.
The true value of such publicity
comes from the cumulative taste for
the apple, The fruit tastes mighty fine
the first time. But the eater wants
more, if he has had Hood River Spitz,
and it will really he better the second
time. Publicity that will bring about
the apple habit will be of the greatest
value to the apple grower. If box of
apples can be delivered to the family
consumers at Il reasonable price, and if
they are good, clean specimens, with no
waste. mother and the children will
not find it a difficult task to prevail
upon father to stock the pantry with a
second box.

HATED THE RAILROAD.
And So Would Almost Any One Under

the Circumstances.
The following letter, says Railway
and Locomotive Engineering, was re
ceiyed by the claim agent Of one Of the
big western railways some time ago:
For some weeks past my dog has
been in the habit Of sicking himself
onto the cars as they sped past my
place. and he never harmed no one by
SO doing, nor never would, as | have
known him from a child, very peace
ful and fond Of young children, and
awful fond Of the butchers shop, be-
fore where he would sit up on his hind
legs and beg with a voice Of JOY for
anything he requested. When be

But what does the fireman on the
Stick IN the Mud Express do but en-
tees my dog to close quarters and
throw chunks Of coal and squirts hot
water upon him, which he tells me IN
a blith aud frivolous tone Is to take
the bark off my dog.
That is what makes me halt your
railroad, and that is not all by a long
choke, for yesterday they misled my
dog and got him In front of the en-.
