ANDERSON FAMILY
BACK FROM MOTORING

Accompanied by his wife and small
son c. c. Anderson returned Monday
night from Spokane, where he at
tended the annual convention of the
Washington State Undertakers' Asso-
citation, The journey of 997 miles was
made in Maxwell touring car and
Mr.. Anderson reports that he expert
enced not the least engine trouble and
that he had but one blowout.
1--WE travelled to Spokane, leaving
here Monday, September 3, by route
little used" says Mr.. Anderson.
Crossing the Columbia to White
Salmon we went to North Yakima, and
thence to Ellensburg, Vantage Ferry,
Odessa, Harrington, Davenport, Rior-
den and Spokane. We found the roads
in fine shape, and from reports | have
heard of other routes, | believe that
motorists would make no mistake in
taking the Ellensburg route"
Mr.. Anderson and family returned
by way of Spangle, Colfax, Walla
Walla, Pendleton and The Dalles.
While away Mr.. Anderson took a
special course in demo-surgery and
post mortem work under his old pro-
fessor at Chicago institution, Albert
Y. Worsham. The convention, it is
said, was one of the most successful
ever held. A banquet at the Daven-
port hotel and special theatrical per-
formance at the Pantages were fea-
lures of entertainment for the Spo-
kane visitors.

The APPLES FOOD VALUE

The scarcity and high price of such
food staples as breads is bringing into
favorable prominence the apple, which,
unfortunately, has in past days been
considered a semi-luxury. The old,
erroneous impression of tn consuming
public that apples have little food val
ue is giving away following the dis
semination of scientific statistical
data, which shows that apples are
not only nutritive but health giving.
And now a new slogan is being
sounded by the publicity department of
the Fruit Growers Agency, of which
w. F. Gwin, executive head of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, is
chairman. Eat an apple, send bis
cult" is the cry. Mr.. Gwin is sending
forth to the press of the country data
giving the true status of the apple as a
food commodity. Down in Hawaii, as
we have long known the dusky natives
can well nigh live on bananas alone.
Mr.. Gwin's publicity shows that the
fresh apple is very nearly as important
from the standpoint of actual food val
ue as the banana. 1t contains some
health giving acids that the banana
does not possess. And for how many
years have we considered the raisin
as high in food qualities. The dried
apples falls but little short in chief
percentages.
AS is pointed out by recent publicity
of the Fruit Growers Agency, which
is a branch of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, leading pub
locations for women in issuing menu
prospectuses for the coming season are
paying much attention to such fruit as
bananas and oranges.
These fruits are going to be scarce
and high in price the coming season.
The apple. almost as plentiful as last
year, when a bumper crop was har-
vested and sold, is given little consid-
Grafton. We are watching for the
Agency to enlighten the editors of the
women's publications.

PESTIFEROUS CITY COUSINS

An end must be made to those pest
iferous city cousins, codling moths and
other enemies of oarcharding as a COM
mercial enterprise. Losses of growers
whose places lie adjacent to the city,
because of the migration from old un-
cared for apple trees, will run into the
thousands of dollars, it is said by in
spectors who have seen the infestation.
The old city apple orchard, poor in
vestment at best, is doomed, if the
fighting mood that now besets orchard
lists sticks until law making time.
But the city cousin moths are not
alone in bad. We hear of many non
resident orchardists who pay little heed
to spraying suggestions given by ex-
pertinent stations. They spray just
enough to keep within the law-some-
times not enough, according to allega-
tions we have recently heard. Such
places soon become the breeding places
of millions of dangerous bugs, spores
or bacteria. The bugs and spores, tiny
particles, are taken up by the wind
and scattered for miles. After sum-
mer's hard work some orchardist,
whose place adjoins the lily cared for
tract, investigates to find his crop
ruined.
This neighboring fruit grower should
have protection. Fruit trees that are
going to have no care should be up
rooted and destroyed, in order to save
the entire valley from the vermin they
hreed

FIRST RAINFALL
BRINGS MUCH JOY

Joy prevailed Thursday in the Upper
Valley region where the night before,
after period of two months mid
summer drought, drenching rain fell.
The precipitation cleared the district
of the dense smokebank that for some
weeks shut off view of surrounding
ranges and mountain peaks.
Only a trace of rain fell in the Low
er Valley, although spectacular elec-
trical storm was witnessed by local
people. Less than an inchs sof rain fell
here from May l to September 6. Dur
ing June the total precipitation was
.O5 of an inch. The total July rainfall
was .O2 of an inch. Crops of all valley
districts, however, are in excellent
condition because of the good irriga-
tion systems.

THE SOURCE

Recently leading magazine retold
the story of the Indian who raised the
price of huckleberries because of the
''d-n big war;" In the magazine
story the happening occurred-just
somewhere in Oregon. The story is a
true one, and originated here in Hood
River. Last summer buck gave E.
A. Franz the war as the reason for an
increase in his huckleberry harvest
quotations.
Another Hood River story that has
recently had wide publicity was that
telling of the kisses bestowed by Hood
River girls on departing naval re-
cruits. But out in the big wide world
the girls of Portland are given all the
credit for reviving the patriotic Gus
tom of Civil war days. Well, the
world may not know Hood River for
her girls and her huckleberries and
Indians, but we always have our ap-
