WILL SAVE MANY VOTES.
Absent Voters Law to be Used Exten
sively in Iowa This Year.

The absent voters law will be ex-
tensively used in Iowa this year, judy
ing from reports coming in from the
various counties. Particularly Is this
true OF railroad men and travelling
statesmen who will be away from home
on election day.
Any voter who has complied with
the registration requirements,-and
the registration days in cities over
$500 population are Oct. 26, ~ and
2S,-and who expect to be absent
from home on election day, may not
more than fifteen and less than three
days before election, make application
to the county auditor for an official
ballot. The auditor then mails him
q ballot which he marks in the pres
ence of an officer authorized to ad.
minister oaths-generally a notary
and then mails it in the envelope
provided, being sure to send it By
registered mail.

APPEAL TO PARTY ALL FOR MEREDITH.
Democratic Leaders Assert Their
Friends Are Not for Harding.
N. F. REED SETS THE PACE
mo Political Friend of Mine" He
Says "Would or Will Vote
Against Observation-Disclosures
Outspoken.

Angered at the reports eminating
from Harding's headquarters that the
republican nominee hopes for election
November 9TH by Democratic votes,
leading Democrats throughout the
state are deluging Democratic state
headquarters with letters denying that
there will be any bolt to Harding and
asserting that the Democrats will be
found voting for Meredith when the
votes are counted.
With the republican ranks split as
never before the Democrats see victory
within their grasp and the party lead
ers are lining up with confidence that
iowa Democrats will not assist In a
republican victory.
N. F. Reed, U. S. Marshal for south
ern Iowa, former state chairman and
party leader says in a letter to State
Chairman Reynolds:
I am heartily and enthusiastically
in favor of e. T. Meredith's candidacy
for governor and assure you that l
will not only vote for him but will do
whatever I can in my power to bring
about his election. No political friend
of mine, no true Democrat and no man
who wishes good government in this
state would or will vote against Mere
dith.
The Democratic party is party of
progress, never 80 much SO in national
and state politics as now. Nationally
the party has kept US out of war, in
sured permanent prosperity and
passed scores Of laws to aid the farm
ers and laborers and prevented a de-
moralizing nationwide railroad strike.
In Iowa the Democratic party has
moved forward as rapidly as it has In
the nation.
Therefore, believing as I do, 1t
would be impossible for me to vote
against Mr. Meredith. For twenty

cratic Iowa organization, six years

The immigrants from North Italy as

stand at the ratio Of about l to 8, or

harder, than their fellow countrymen

SECOND FORECLOSURE
ASSOCIATED GROWERS

A decree of foreclosure of mortgage
has been granted against a second
tract of land held by the Associated
Fruit Growers, for which E. N. Benson
was appointed receiver the first of last
week. In the second case the mortgage
was held by G. A.. Merriam, of Eugene,
for the sum of $4,000 and cost. Last
week Ralph J. Jarvis, was granted a
decree for the foreclosure of S., 500
mortgage on tract of land held by
the company. Both tracts are of ap-
proximately 10 acres and are in bear
ing orchard. Under the terms of the
receivership granted by the circuit
court, the receiver will take charge of
this seasons crop of apples, the only
possible assets from which purchasers
of Loaf shares of stock. valued at $l0
per share. may hope to realize any re-
turn on their investments. in case suit
filed by District Attorney Derby. who
seeks judgment against County Judge
Stanton and r. F. Marquis, respec-
lively president and secretary of the
concern, is unavailing.
The Associated Fruit Growers. the
capital stock of which was placed at
$4,000, owns third tract of approxi-
mately 80 acres. This. however, is
composed of unproductive land, and it
is anticipated that the American-Scan-
dinavian Bank, of Astoria. will soon
begin foreclosure proceedings on a
$4,000 mortgage held against this tract.

SCIENTIST CHURCH
FORMALLY DEDICATED

The new building of the First Church
of Christ Scientist, of Hood River,
now free from debt. was formally
dedicated Sunday. when paper. Civ
ing the history of the organization was
read by First Reader E. G. Brownlee.
The new church building, 60x50 feet
in dimensions. a story and half in
height and setting on slightly prom
tontory overlooking the Columbia. is
one OF Hood Rivers handsomest church
edifices.
The church, the membership of which
now reaches the hundreds, was begun
in 1905 when a student of the Christian
Science took up meetings with friends
and neighbOrs. In 1909 meetings we're
begun at the X. of P. hall. Sunday
school was organized. and from the
contributions of the children was be-
gun the nucleus of the building fund.
After three months the Odd Fellows
hall was chosen as the meeting place.
Here meetings were held short time,
when a donation of $50 provided nu-
cleus for a reading room fund.
reading room was fitted up in the
Davidson building. After short time,
because of the increase in membership,
it was necessary to secure a larger
room in the same building. where, with
the exception of short use of the as.
sembly hall of the Commercial club,
meetings continued 10 be held until the
new building was erected.
In April, 1914, the First Church of
Christ Scientist adopted its articles OF
incorporation. and a lot was purchased
for the church site. The new building
was occupied June /, of the past sum.

Hood River People Will Find that fol
Every iii There Is A Cause

Defiance of certain natural laws causes
business depression. Defiance of other
natural laws causes depression of mind
and body. Uric acid and kidney weak
ness are modern evil, produced by over
work, hustle, worry, excesses, meat eat
ing and careless living. Kidney dis
eases do great damage, usually before
they are discovered, so it is well to take
warning from kidney backache urinary
disorders, pains when stopping or lf:-
ing, dull headaches dizzy spelis, rheu-
matte pains, etc. Neglect may pave the
way for some dangerous kidney trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills are used in Just
such cases and recommended all over
the civilized world. Hood River people
are well represented in this grand cho-
rus of praise. Here's one of the Hood
River cases:
Mrs. NJ. A. Douglas, 1926 Seventh St..
Hood River. says: 81 was more or lees
subject to bsckache, and during that
trouble my kidneys were irregular in
action. | felt depressed and had no
ambition for anything. After | had
taken two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
| felt like different person. That
misery in my back stopped and my kid
neys haven't caused me any trouble

LACK OF BOXES
CAUSE OF WORRY

The greatest worry of local orchards
the past week has come from a short
age of cars needed to transport boxes
from Northwestern lumber centers.
Without boxes sufficient to handle their
crops, scores of growers were forced
to halt their packing operations. The
fruit was picked from the trees and
placed in sheds. where it will be al
lowed to remain until containers can
be secured.
The Apple Growers Association has
adopted policy of distributing boxes
to those making first application in the
early morning for any carlots that may
have arrived overnight. Although fre-
quently they went away disappointed.
growers we're on hand by o'clock a.
N. So great has been the need of
some orchardists for containers that
they have camped overnight near the
freight yards.
The Association officials say that a
plentiful supply of boxes has been or
dered despite the fact that the crop
will exceed the early estimates of
growers, and that the lack of contain
ers will only be temporary.

BY-PRODUCTS PLANTS
WILL Use MUCH FRUIT

The Wittenburg-King Co., of The
Dalles, formerly known as the Dri-
Fresh Co., has contracted with the Ap-
pie Growers Association to. take up to
5000 tons Of family grade fruit. in
cluding the smaller sizes and fruit per-
feet except for some surface blemlsh
that would render it undesirable for
commercial pack. The deal, one of
the largest ever made here in the low
grade product, will bring handsome
profit to growers and at the same time
lift from the sales agency the burden
of1disposing of the fruit. packed in
boxes, through the regular channels.
A price of $40 per ton will be paid by
The Dalles by-products concern, which
will use the fruit for evaporating and
processing.
"By products plants were never so
we'll developed and SO advantageous
for growers. says Wilmer Sieg, land
because of the activities of these con.
Germs the pack of commercial fruit will
be of smaller quantity than had been
anticipated. The demand for this
under-grade product was never sc
strong"
The Hood River Apple Vinegar Co.
which last season pressed approx.
mately $500 tons of apples, will in.
crease its output this season, having
added three new hydraulic presses te
it's plant, making a total of five such
machines now in use. The Apple Vim
egar Co. is paying Sc per ton for cul
apples. The Hood River Canning Co.
is paying So and Sc for off.grade vari.
eties of canning quality. A small pro,
portion Uf the off-grade will also be
handled by the Fancy Fruit Products
Co., which has established local plant

but this is not expected to last.
"We are informed that enough of the
cars for our needs are headed west, y
says Mr.. Sieg, "and the railway Off
Gals assure US that we will have nc
trouble in getting enough cars. We
have facilities for loading 20 cars per
day. and as the harvest advances we
will be putting out this number each
day.
''The market condition is looking
considerably better now. There is not
much evidence of raise in prices, but
tn. re is a different and more healthy
air apparent. AL markets are coming
to realize the lack Of fall varieties of
fruit and the early winter varieties are
rapidly going into consumption. More
apples are now being eaten than are
going into storage. As the eastern
barrel harvest progresses, according to
our advices. it is found to be of much
lower quality than had been antici-
pated. 1t is true that this fruit will
have to be sold at some price, and its
existence constitutes menace. But
the fact is indisputable that the dis
eliminating trade over the entire coun-
try will have to look to the Northwest
for the class of apples needed to meet
its requirements. This assures US a
sane price. at least on the apples of a
