STATE FAIR OFFERS
GOVERNMENT AID

With the view of aiding the govern
ment in its campaign to increase crop
production. and reduce the enormous
food waste, A. H. Lea, secretary of
the State Fair Board has written to
Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
offering the services of the State Fair
as a "Food Training Camp" The
Government, it is believed, will coop
crate in the movement by furnishing
lecturers, demonstrations and exhibits.
If the war is to be won working
America must furnish the allies Food
Preparedness" said Secretary Lea in
commenting on the movement. Pri-
marily the object of the State Fair is
educational, and the Fair Board feels
that it can render material service in
the nationwide campaign for the in
crease of food production, and the
elimination of needless waste. Mill
tary camps are being established
throughout the country to train men in
military science, and the Board pro-
poses to call the great rank and file of
| food producers and users into central
training camp after the harvest season
for brief course of instruction in eff
cient methods for food production and
conservation.
To make the course as instructive as
possible the Board is urging more
breeders of pure bred livestock than
ever before to exhibit that the farmers
may purchase and raise types of stock
that will best meet the nations de-
mand for more meat, milk, butter,
cheese, leather, wool and horse power.
Manufacturers of farm machinery are
being asked to show their latest models
that the farmers may avail themselves
of machinery that will produce max.
imum crop with minimum cost and
effort. The state is being combed fol
superior specimens of grains, vegeta.
bles, fruits, corn and forage crops that
are best suited to its soil and climate.
Since the elimination of waste is 8
material part of the campaign, ar.
rangements are being made to offer q
series of demonstrations and lectures
by food specialists in the woman's
department. The children are alst
being enlisted in the cause and in con
nection with their exhibits, instructive
demonstrations will be conducted.

FRUIT IS FOOD, THE
GROWERS PRAYER

A concerted movement on a huge
scale was inaugurated Monday at Spo-
kane by the members of the Fruit
Growers Agency to bring about
change in the classification of the pro-
ducts of the Northwest S vast fruit dis
tricts, according to c. w. McCullagh,
sales manager of the Apple Growers
Association, who returned from Spo-
kane Tuesday morning.
1T is the aim of the Agency" says
Mr.. McCullagh, ''to secure the desig-
nation of apples and other fruits as
food commodities rather than luxuries
and semi-luxuries. 1t is considered of
vital Importance to the large fruit dis
tricts that such change in classified
tion take place. Food products have
the preference in transportation over
other commodities. If fruits remain
in the luxury class, the labor used in
the cultivation and harvest of such
crops will be subject to conscripton,
and thus the Northwestern fruit dis
tricts will face labor famine.
Furthermore, according to our
plans, we will endeavor to have the
government recognize the value of
fruits in the rationing of the soldiers.
Our arguments will show the value of
the elements contained in apples and
other fruits in keeping the fighting
men in healthful conditions.
The campaign by the fruit men was
opened by telegraphing comprehensive
messages to the congressional delega-
tions of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana, to the governors of the
four states and to the following fruit
and commission organizations The
international Apple Shippers Asscia-
ton, the Western Fruit Jobbers of
America, the National League of Com
mission Merchants and the American
Fruit and Vegetable Shippers Associa-
tion. Messages were also sent asking
the cooperation of the following prom
inent Pacific coast fruit men: G. Har-
old Powell, manager of the California
Fruit Growers Exchange; j. F. Nagle,
prominent southern California citrus
shipper; Chas. E. Verden. manager of
the California Fruit Distributors.
The representatives of Northwestern
fruit interests now in Washington to
appear before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the rate hearing were
apprised of the campaign and asked
to take the matter up personally with
heads of governmental departments.
81 am sending a circular letter to
all the S25 members of our organiza-
tion asking them to write personal let
ters to our congressional delegation to
whom they will urge the vital necessi-
ty of granting our prayers in this mat
ter" says Mr.. McCullagh, "and ship
pers of all other fruit districts will act
likewise.

LOCAL PEOPLE
DO THEIR BIT
RED CROSS AND Y. M. c. A. AIDED
Energetic Committee Members Conduct
Successful Campaigns for Both
OF These Organizations

Thursday was Red Cross day in Hood
River, and members of the member
ship committee engaged in personal
solicitation in all valley sections,
thereby adding scores of new names to
the roster and swelling by hundreds of
dollars the funds of the organization.
the total of which will be used in the
purchase of hospital and surgical sup
pleis or in any other wise that the Red
Cross War council, appointed recently
by the President, may designate.
A rummage sale, engineered by the
ways and means committee was sue
cessfully conducted. Thousands of
articles, ranging from a baby's night
shirt to oil paintings and billiard ta-
bles, were donated by Hood River
families. The use of vacant store
roomiin the Masonic hall was donated
for the corps of volunteer clerks of the
rummage sale. In one of the big show
windows of the store was displayed an
Indian game cock, while in the oppos-
ite window was shown a marvelously
wrought beer stein, which was adver-
tised as valuable relic of Oregon's
past history.
The drive that was conducted here
during the past week for the local
Chapter of the Red Cross secured more
than 200 new members. The total
membership of the Chapter, which has
branches in outlying valley points and
at towns just across the Columbia,
now numbers more than 800.
Hood River valley women are now
devoting great deal of time in the
making of bandages and other Red
Cross supplies. The assembly hall of
the Commercial club has been equipped
with sewing machines and tables, and
the local housewives meet there each
Wednesday and Saturday afternoon to
conduct such work. Women at differ
ent valley points hold similar meetings
weekly.
The rummage sale, under the efficient
management of Walter Kimball, chair
man of the ways and means committee,
and corps of earnest working volun-
teer assistants, was temporarily
brought to close Saturday night, af-
ter about $500 had been netted. The
sale will be continued again during
strawberry harvest, when it is thought
that many of the numerous articles
donated will be sold to transient har-
vest hands.
The Red Cross expresses thus pub
licly its thanks to the hosts of Hood
River valley people who were SO gen.
erous in their donations.
The local campaign to raise 81. 600
for the army Y. M. C. A. was begun
yesterday. Committees of men and
women will visit every home in the
city and valley before today is over.
yesterday met with gratifying success,
