ORIGIN OF NAMES OF CITIES

6NHE number of cities and towns in
the United States which take
their names from old world places
is very large. Pilgrims, colonists or set
tiers. for reasons of sentiment. often
named their new homes after those
which they left behind them. And in
this time, when more and more per
sons have the leisure to engage in
genealogical research and speculation
and historical reading. it is common TO
find communities tracing their names
back to the European home of the first
settlers and collecting facts concern
ing and pictures illustrative Of the
older town.

In Piney Branch Park it might be
said at this season that the first ques-
ton neighbor asks neighbor, as they
meet on street or on veranda, is,
How is your Dorothy Perkins," or
How is your phlox?" or. Did the ferns
you brought from the woods take root
in your garden?"
As one turns certain corners there he

England is now in the preliminary
stages of another enlistment campaign,
similar to that which ragged throughout
the country in the first eighteen months
of the war Then the blank walls were
covered with appeals to men to join up
and fight for their country. Now, 1t is
suggested that the old pictorial appeals
be adapted to the new circumstances
and used to induce women to work for
their country.
One of the favorite posters was that
representing the little boy asking his
father, Father what did you do in the

writer saw a sketch for 'Grandmoth-

walls and hoardings. will attract as
many girls as the original attracted
men. Posters of happy girl munition
workers at work and at play in their
clubs and recreation rooms have also
been designed and are ready for exhi-
bition as soon as the preparations for
the campaign are complete.
The fact is that Britain has now
thrown everything into the war, and
has made up her mind that the way to
win is to put her last ounce of strength
as quickly as possible into the struggle
She needs more and more men. and
every woman who takes up munition

women come forward in larger num-
bers. able-bodied men must be kept

So far the women of the working
class have done nobly. In their case
there has been the double inducement
of patriotism and high wages, and in
addition to that they have the habit of
work. It is almost impossible to obtain
female labor of the domestic servant,

LITTLE AUTO TRIPS
IN THE MID-COLUMBIA

1t is possible to take with the FASH
ion Livery Co., now one of the largest
motor transportation concerns in the
state of Oregon outside of Portland,
any one of half a hundred little auto
mobile trips from Hood River. The
company furnishes cars to all points.
But one journey should not be missed
this summer by the people of Hood
River, such large percentage of whom
have never seen the, Upper Valley,
much less Cloud Cap Inn.
The Fashion company is Offering q
, special service from Hood River to the
Inn. They will take parties, with a
minimum number of four on Sunday s
to the Inn for $6 for the round trip.
This rate includes lunch at the Inn.
The passengers do not have to walk
any of the distance. Stages or sleighs
will take the vacationists on the last
lap.
The cars of the company will leave
Hood River at o'clock or earlier, IL
members of the party desire. They
will be returned to the city by twilight.
This is trip that should appeal ia
all. The traveller is not only able to
see both the Lower and Upper Hood
River Valleys. but he will have sufi'
cient time to climb at least to the tor
of Cooper's Spur and obtain an excel
lent view of the surrounding country.
The roads to Cloud Cap Inn for the
next 10 days, because of recent rains,
should be in excellent shape. After 9
period of dry weather. however. they
will become fearfully dusty.

Big SPUDS GROWN
ON NYE PLACE

The record for yield of early potatoes
in the Hood River valley is held by X.
p. Anderson, a tenant Of the West Side
ranch of o. B. Nye. From a single
hill of American Wonders, which had
not finished their growth, MIR. Ander-
son harvested Is tubers, the largest Of
which weighed Is ounces. The smallest
of the potatoes weighed a fraction
over six ounces.
Mr.. Anderson came from Georgia
last year. He plants only the eyes Of
the potatoes, thus saving for food the
body of the tuber. He is farmer of
the old school and makes his paintings
strictly according to phases Of the
moon.
The largest potato vine reported in
the county this, year was grown by
Mrs. H. F. Davidson on a city garden
plot. The plant, five feet in height,
has the appearance of young tree.

Soft Fruits Loss General

While the abnormal rains Of June,
reaching about two inches over the
Hood River valley, are reported as
having resulted in benefit of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to grain
ranchers, the extreme wet weather,

tions, will take heavy toll Of the re-

ries and other small fruits.
