shows that Arizona lsst yer en-.

of lands granted by congress-
2, 653, 600 acres have been SO.

showing for Arizona, because
the administration of a huge
land grant, like those given OF
Arizona and New Mexicg by co.
ngress, cannot be brought into
shape for successful production
without vigorous effort and ac-
tive business administration.
1t is sting to compare
the Arizona land Office showing

department. Of N ew Mexico

FIRE LOSS

The National Board of Fire Under
writers has compiled data that shows
how enormous is the annual fire loss OF
America as compared with that OF
other countries. Few people realize,
according to the Underwriters. how
directly the much discussed high cost
of living is affected by great fire losses.
Single fires in elevators and mills
frequently consume the equivalent of
living for a small army of people.
For example recent blaze in an llli-
nois elevator rendered 700, 900 bushels
of corn unfit for human food and also
destroyed 100000 bushels of oats.
If America were to reduce her fire
losses to the fractional figures of most
other countries it can hardly be doubt
ed that the cost of living would be
materially lowered. 1t must never be
forgotten that 21.4 per cent of this
annual bonfire is due strictly to pre-
ventable causes, 37.9 per cent to those
which are partly perventable and that
the remaining 40.7 per cent from "un-
known" causes is probably largely
preventable.

The LITTLE LOCAL ARMY

Spring has come in the Hood River
valley. The glad tidings are heralded
to the Apple Valley visitor not only
through the sense of vision as he be-
holds the pink-white blossoms of pear
and cherry trees, but to his sense OF
hearing and that of smell as well.
The pop. pop, pop of hundreds Of pow
erful gasoline engines on spraying ma
chimes form the salutations of orchard
lists as they advance on the armies OF
disease pests and fungi. Breezes are
laden with the powerful odor of sui
phur.
A month behind in their work, Hood
River orchardists have never worked
harder. From sunup till sundown, the
plows have been going up and down
the strawberry tracts, and men and
women, too, have been busy cutting
down the weeds that have sprung up
between the berry vines.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS in
AMBITIOUS VEHICLE

The Hood River high school glee
club, under the direction of Mrs. C. H.
denney, will present ''The Lost Neck
lace" a Spanish operetta and the most
ambitious vehicle ever undertaken in
local school entertainments. at the
nigh school auditorium this evening.
Sixty-five young women will partici-
pate in the play. Full use will be made
Of the big stage Of the auditorium. and
lighting effects, such as are seen in
metropolitan theatres will be brought
into play.
o. 7. Wedemeyer is assisting the
students IN their preparations for the
operetta. Chief parts will be played
oy Misses Gladys Reavis, Olive Will
den. Nella Hart, Ruth Berry, Alice
Taylor and Elda Jackson. The latter
will play the part of leader of gypsy
band. All of the young women will be
in costume and number of Spanish
songs will be rendered as between act
specialties.
The play, the outline of which has
appeared in the high school notes, will
undoubtedly be one of the best things
ever given in Hood River. The Hood
River public should turn out in num-
bers to encourage the students. And
it goes without saying that the play
will be enjoyed by all present.
The glee club girls will be acompan-
led by seven piece orchestra, five To-
cal players augmented by two pro-
fessionals from Portland.

GOOD ADVICE

We have often wondered if the edi-
torial page of the Saturday Evening
Post were not just an earmark of some
traditional convention. Week in and
week out that editorial page has had
just so many articles on just so many
topics, statistical and dry. But week
before last the Post put some red
blood into a few paragraphs and re-
deemed itself.
The following is good advice:
The people of the United States are
prepared to back up the federal gov
ernment to the limit. In return they
demand that the ablest men in the
country be placed in every important
post over which the federal govern
ment has jurisdiction.
This is no time for corner grocery
strategists and small-bore statesmen.
Government by politics and precedent
cannot be tolerated. The weasels, the
foxes and the moles of partisan poll
tics must be run to their holes. The
hoy orators and the two-bit officehold-
ers must double quick to the rear.
Half hearted, chicken-hearted Ameri-
cans, our two worst breeds of hyphen-
ates, no matter how moss-grown in
Office or how strong with the gang
back home cannot command the conf
dence of the country. Neither can
sincere, earnest souls who bring pop
gun minds to forty-two centimeter
problems. To appoint a mediocre man
just now to an important position; to
continue in office a proved incompe-
tent; to permit anyone to hold vital
post who is not heart and soul with the
country in its purposes, is simply man.
slaughter.
The mills of the American people
grind exceeding fast on occasion and
they grind to powder.

APPLE STATISTICS

The Apple Growers Association will
engage for the next several days in
gathering vast amount of statistical
data to be presented to the Inter State
Commerce Commission to show why
fruit growers of the Northwest cannot
bear the burden of an increase of l5
per cent in freight rates on apples.
C. w. McCullagh Tuesday afternoon
received telegram from the three
public service commissions of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho asking for such
information.
The data to be gathered by the AS
sociation will give total of Hood River
shipments, cost of production average
net returns, number of domestic mar
kets for the past three years, number
of foreign markets for the same time,
prospective number of cars for this
year, soft fruit and apples, number Of
cars moved for past two years between
October Is and April Is, number of di-
versions made past two years, acreage
of entire district, approximate age of

recorded and approximate amount, tax
alton for last two years per acre. in

RED CROSS SERVICE NOT OBLIGATORY

Many persons are under the errone-
Gus impression that in taking the first
aid work in the Red Cross work they
are obligating themselves for field
duty.
1t is strongly emphasized in all Off
cial Red Cross propaganda that no field
service is required of members of the
Red Cross, nor of any of those who
take the first aid work.
We quote herewith from Bulletin 144
issued by the American National Red
Cross headquarters at Washington, D.
c., as follows:
"The course in First Aid for Women
supplies useful and practical knowledge
which all women should have, but does
not provide the qualifications necessary
for nursing service in time of war.
The mere fact that a woman has
taken such a course does not necessar-
lily guarantee her selection for this
service nor does it place her under OBJ
legation to volunteer.
