HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Betty Epping)


! o. M. Plummer, Hoover's represen-
tative in Oregon, was in Hood River
Monday lecturing to the school chill.
dren on food control. He came to the
high school at O'Clock and gave us a
very good talk. About 300 students
were in assembly. He said that if
each student would save three slices of
bread day that it would mean about
80 loaves of bread. This would feed so
soldiers for day. He impressed on
our minds the need of wheatless day
every week. This day is going to be
Wednesday.
Oregon is the only state in the Union
in which the children are taking a real
active part in Hoover's food control.
In other states it is the older people.
Mr.. Plummer telegraphed Mr.. Hoover
asking him if he might do this. Mr..
Hoover's answer was yes, he would let
Oregon do this, as he was an Oregon
boy himself.
Mr.. Plummer is Portland man. He
is one the school board in Portland and
is ranked among the best directors in
the state. He is making trips all over
the state during this month, lecturing
to all the school. He also spoke to. the
grade schools here.
Tomorrow our foot ball team will
meet the husky farmers from Dufur on
Gibson field at O'Clock. We haven't
any dope on our opponents, but the
game promises to be humdinger.
Our team promises to be along at the
head of the line this year judging from
games already played, as Goldendale
won from White Salmon $40 and from
The Dalles 60. We won from White
Salmon 800 and ITO. and with
Frank Dark, last year veteran, added
to our team of huskies, with the sup
port of the town we surely will win.
Mr.. Kolstad has promised the team
and their girls and the coach and his
wife free admission to movy every
time they win game. Mr.. Kolstad
has the right spirit.
November we play Camas and No
vember 3 The Dalles. Both games will
be played on Gibson Field.
The girls have started organizing
basketball teams. The seniors elected
lonia Lender for their captain; juniors,
Frances Moe; sophomores, Vernita
Nickelsen and freshmen Willeta Swick.
Practice has started already. There
will also be girls first team, which
will try out for the championship of
the state.
Lowell Nickelsen and Yale McCarty,
who were members of the class of 1918
and who joined the navy, are now at
Harvard studying wireless and radio
Art Lofts, IT, who is also in the navy,
is studying motor and machinery at
Columbia College, New York.
Floyd Wright, IT, has been pledged
to Beta Theta Pi at Whitman. Chatter

same fraternity at the U. of 0. Lor-
raine Allen, '16, has been pledged to

Report cards were given out just be-
fore apple picking time. Twenty-one
blue cards were given out. This means
that there was not one grade below 80
on them.
Mr.. Plummer's motto, "Do not let
one thing go to waste" is being adopt
ed by all of the high school and grade
pupils.

Use for Thistle Suggested

William Davidson, a West Side or.
chardist, has made the unique sugges-
tion that a shipload of Russian thistle
and Jim Hill mustard seed be trans
ported to Germany in retaliation for
their barbarous attacks on hospitals
and non-combatants.
81 just read that Russian thistle had
been discovered in the Hood River
valley" said Mr.. Davidson. LET us
save all the seed and go up in eastern
Oregon and get the thistle and Jim
Hill mustard seed by the car load. 1t
could be scattered over German fields
from aeroplanes, and by next year we
would have them busy fighting these
almost unconquerable pests.

Gamers will Run All Winter

The output of canned apples by local
canning concerns will be increased
several hundred per cent this year.
Both the Hood River Canning Co. and
the Newtonia Canning Co. plan or
operating their concerns all winter if
the supply Of Gull product holds out,
working up hundreds of tons of fruit
that has formerly either gone to the
cider factory or that has competed
with the better grades of commercial
packs on the open market.
Growers will be able to work off
their wormy stock at price of SIS per
ton. So high is the price of boxes and
labor that most of the cooking grade
stock will go to the Gamers.

HON. LYNN J. LEWIS NOT TO
Be CANDIDATE FOR SENATE

Hon. Lynn J. Lewis, who has been
considered a tentative candidate for
state senatorial honors, states to the
writer that he will not be candidate
for. this or any other political honors.
Business plans he states, require him
to forego the pleasure of further
political activities, and he makes this
early announcement. This leaves the
senatorial field to date, with Super
visor Sheldon Coleman and B. G..
Davis both of Antwerp township.
DR.. Harvey Ransom of Bloomingdale
has been mentioned as a probable
candidate, but recent commission as
First Lieutenant in the Medical Corps
of the army, will eliminate him from
the race. The primaries are a long
way off yet, and there is ample time
for other candidates to make their
aspirations known.

There was a disappointed bunch of
"Kids" in Paw Paw on Wednesday,
when the rain which started in early
in the morning continued throughout
the day. This was "School Day" at
the county fair, and the local school
had closed for the day to permit all
pupils to attend. Inasmuch as the
rain practically spoiled the Fair OR
Wednesday, the management an
nounce that it will continue one day
longer than planned. The gates will
not close until Saturday night, the
programs will all be set ahead one
day, and Saturday will probably be
the biggest day of the week. The
"Kids" who were disappointed on
Wednesday can then be made happy
on the week end.

FORMER PAW PAW CITIZEN
LIKES LOS ANGELES, CAL

Following is a letter from r. F.
Greene formerly of Paw Paw, written
to John H. Shrine of Paw Paw and
dated Los Angeles, California, Sep
tember 22nd, 1917. The letter will
be of interest to Paw Paw people,
and especially to those who were
acquainted with Mr.. Greene.
"When | talked with you at the
Union Sunday school picnic, June
9th, little did ! think that l would
be out. here within sixty days. I
came to Los Angeles land say, when
you try to tell of the greatness and
real beauty, the fine tempered climate
on account of the ocean breeze, you
simply cannot. Again, you must say
"The half has never been told"
81 have been told that Detroit in
all her majesty has been termed The
most beautiful city in the United
States Well, say that is all bosh,
and she must with much ease and
grace, doff her hat to Los Angeles.
Beautiful streets, not few, but all
of them. No smoke, for they do not
burn coal. Certainly clean. Very
wide spacious walks, with 4 small
lawn between them and the curb at
intervals; beautiful trees such as
palms and other tropical trees, the
names of which | have not called to
mind as they are new to me; Flowers
of every hue and at every turn. To
me it is beautiful dream, in reality.
"You said you were anxious to
have number from Paw Paw winter
in Los Angeles. | paid from twenty
to thirty-five cents for meals that
cannot be had there for less than
from fifty to seventy-five cents. Eat,
eat, that seems to be my only desire,
and | would be so 'Porky' in the
afternoon, always wanting to sleep.
But, I've gotten over that feeling,
and am much gratified at the change
from Michigan here. | also see many
opportunities here and any one who
desires to place little for invest
ment, the amount will surely grow.
Real estate however is at standstill.
/ hope to see you here this coming
winter and bring a goodly number
from old Van Buren. When 'Michi-
Uan dav' arrives I homo I can holm
you to sing, Michigan My Michigan
Kindly advise me when you keep
Michigan day so | will be with you
in the Round Up"

More About Tobacco Question
Prolonged Argument on Propriety of Sending Tobacco
to Soldiers Closes with this Issue

Out Of newspaper courtesy, and in
Difference to the individual opinions
Of friends, The True Northerner has
permitted a discussian through it's
columns on the propriety of sending
tobacco to our soldier boys at the
front. 1t is our opinion however,
that the argument has now progress
ed far enough. In prolonged news
paper controversy of this nature, the
original thought is lost sight of, and
frequently personal, irrelevant and
imnaterial matters are injected. 1t
is our opinion, that there is nothing
to be gained by a continuation of the
present controversy. Plans have
been under way everywhere for weeks
to provide the boys at the front with
tobacco that they can use, and in
dividual opinions expressed through
the press, will not alter or cause any
diminution of enthusiasm in the plans
We realize in this as in any other
public question, that there are two
sides, and plenty of material for dis
cussion both pro and con; but there
is a disposition on the part of those
who must stay at home during this
great war, to provide the boys who
are fighting our battles at the front,
with whatever may give them a
"Crumb of Comfort" Therefore,
we have concluded, that at this par
ticular time, further discussion of the
subject through the columns of The
True Northerner, is ill-advised and
out of place. We publish herewith
two communications in reply to the
letter of last week. SO far as we are
concerned, this is the last, and the
argument may be considered closed.

SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS
JUDGMENT OF LOWER COURT.

decision last week of special interest
to Attorney T. j. Cavanaugh of this
place. 1t was the case of Elmer f.
Rouse VS.. Receivers of the p. M. Ry.

rien County Circuit in February 1916
for $500. T. j. Cavanaugh and Cady
and Andrews of st. Joseph represent

Gore the defendant railroad company.
Mr.. Rouse the plaintiff in the case
was driving his Ford car at the cross
ing at Bridgman and was struck by
the train backing up, severely injur-
ing him. The case took week TO
try, and the final decision was render
ed last Week, when the Supreme
CourU sustained the damage awarded

The real grape harvest started last
Monday, when the growers began to
pick Concords. Much of the fruit is
yet unfit to pick, but it is getting
time of the year, when they are
anxious to get started. All grape
growers however are requested to
give careful consideration to the
section of the state law which appears
at the head of this column. Deputy
Fruit Inspector w. T. Davis was in
Paw Paw the first of the week, and
stated to the writer, that this section
of the new law is mighty important,
and will be enforced. Careful pack
ing on the part of the growers. will
not only keep the price up, but will
save much annoyance to all concerned.
Mr.. Davis left several copies of the
new law relative to the packing of
apples, which The True .Northerner
will be pleased to distribute to in
terested parties.
Early indications are that the grape
crop in this section will be heavier
than at first predicted, and that it
will be of good quality. The price
too, will be better than usual, if early
sales can be taken as a criterion.
Sales this week have been from
twenty-one to twenty-three cents per
eight pound basket, for labelled fruit.
The price wilT> undoubtedly go some
below these figures, when the heavy
shipments begin. Quotations on bulk
grapes have been from S45.00 to
$4,000 per ton. Whether or not these
prices will prevail throughout the
season is a question.
Every year brings improvement in
the growing, packing and shipping of
grapes. Growers are learning that
it is to their advantage to get a
scientific knowledge Of the industry;
that it is to their advantage to put
up an honest package, and that CO.
operation jim selling the crop is the
only way to realize the highest price
for the fruit. There are yet some
"Ornery" fruit growers, whose OBJ
stinacy works to the detriment of
others engaged in the industry. But
conditions have greatly improved, and
the next five years will see many
more changes for the Improvement
and benefit of the fruit growing in
dustry in this belt.
