And yet they" say that girls are
more delicate than boys and harder
to raise. At least they are generally
considered to be more expensive. The
returns, however, evidently justify
the extra expense and care, judging
from these figures.
So far in 1917, twenty-three girls
have been adopted and only twelve
boys. The girls are getting more
popular every year.
Not all the children adopted were
homeless. Numbers of them wealthy
in their own right, have been adopted
because of the death of their parents.
The parents of some of the chill
dren adopted had deserted the young
sters throwing the responsibility OF
caring for them on the shoulders of
grandparents or other relatives.
Why do so many people prefer girls
to boys? Is it because they are more
appreciative of kindness than boys?

And they're mauling it a mile;

As it wobbles up the aisle;

With a Blooie! and a Fowl
And there's no one to relieve him
Who can check the rally now.
His early smoke has vanished
And his curves no longer break;

their best may have been harder mel,
to beat than Bob Fitzsimmons was.
They had the big bulk, which old
Fitz lacked. But the main test of a
fighting man should be Inch for inch
and pound for pound" Under this
arrangement there isn't any question
but that Fitz was the greatest fighter
that ever lived.
Pound for pound he stood above
them all as a fighting machine. He
was more effective, considering his
weight, than Joe Cans or Terry Nc
Govern were.
Cans and McGovern could meet and
beat bigger men. But could Cans OF
McGovern spot a champion twenty
five pounds and knock him out?
Fitz was only middleweight,
tossed in among the toughest heavy
weights of the last two or three de-
cades-Jeffries, Corbett, Sharkey,
Cboynski. etc, and the only one of
this old crowd to hold him back was
Jim Jeffries, who from fifty to sixty
pounds heavier-entirely too rugged

There were heavyweights worthy

and was dethroned.
None of this 1917 allotment stalking

CITY HAS BEST OF
POKER MATERIAL

Although City Marshall j. X. Carson
is still where Moses was when the
lights went out, it has recently been
learned that the city of Hood River
has some of the best poker material
discovered since the days of Roaring
Camp" or "Silverado. The Chief will
find the paraphernlia, but it is assured
us that no arrest will follow. Bnt all
good citizens of the city who want the
best that their money can buy will also
find the home of Aces" and there in

This article is not intended to be a
mystery. When you are going to have
some petered out portion of your in

you are going to get the best surgeon
available. You are certainly not going
to allow some unknown, newly fiedged
M. d. slice you up. No, let him first

When you want the best apples, you
buy Hood River Spitzenburgs and New

you go for something that you know,
something that has stood the test, and

WOMEN TO PRESENT
DIR. LINDLEY SOON

The members of the Woman's club
will present DR.. Ernest II. Lindley,
visiting professor at Reed College.
Portland, from Indiana, in lecture at
the high school auditrium next Thurs
day evening, Feb. %, DIR. Lindley is
said to be one of the most interesting
takers who has ever visited Oregon.
His subject will be Modern Pioneers. T"
In a letter to Leslie Butler Friday
DR.. VIM. T. Foster, president of Reed
College, says:
"You ought to let your people know
that there is no hall in Portland large
enough to hold the audiences that are
trying to hear DR.. Lindley. Last night
at the Central library 200 people re-
mained standing throughout the lee
ture and many stayed for half hour
afterward to ask questions, even
though there was still standing room
only. Janitors tell me that 300 ere
turned away-could not even get into
the hall. These facts, think, are most
significant. Your people will be
greatly pleased with his lecture"
The members of the Woman's club
should be commended for their efforts
in bringing Mr.. Lindley here. The
club is not endeavoring to make any
money out of the lecture, but it is de-
sired that the sum be raised to pay the
expenses of the lecture.
To encourage the work of the wo-
men, the citizens of Hood River should
give the lecture their most liberal pat
rOnage.

The DALLES CLUB men VISIT CITY
WaSco County Citizens Promise Their
Best Aid In Securing Proposed
Loop Highway

At a get-to-gether meeting of the
Commercial club and representatives
members of The Dalles Chamber of
Commerce here Monday night, the two
bodies agreed to cooperate in an effort
to secure the hasty construction of the
proposed Mount Hood Loop highway,
that will connect the Columbia River
Highway with the old Barlow road,
which crosses the Cascades to the south
of Mount Hood.
The cooperative work of Monday
night dispelled all former feelings
among local citizens and men of The
Dalles TO the effect that the two cities
were working along antagonistic lines
for this proposed highway construction.
The Dalles men assured the l,cal club
that thev would back all movements
toward securing the mountain high
way, provided the Hood River people
reciprocated in assisting The Dalles in
securing a seven mile spur that will
connect Wasco county highways with
the Loop.
The Dalles men announced that a
portion of the recently voted S260, 900
Wasco county highway bond issue fund
would be devoted in surfacing a road
to point within seven miles of the
Loop road.
The visiting men from The Dalles
were: ]. w. Brewer, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, R. W. King,
r. S. Wittenberg, Geo. Chenowith and
Stanley Armstrong.
While here the men stopped at the
Hotel Oregon.

1917 OUTLOOK
Is FLATTERING
APPLE MARKET SHOWS FINAL RALLY
Condition, il is Predicted, will Have a
Good Effect on the Deal Of the
Coming Season

Basing their predictions on the keen
rally in the demand for Northwestern
apples at the present time, local ap-
pie marketing agency officials are ex-
pressing decided optimism over the
outlook for the 1917 apple deal.
Although the supplies on hand for
this late date in the marketing season
exceed those of any like date for for
mer years, the Apple Growers Associ-
alton reports marketing conditions at
the present time as exceedingly active.
At the close of business Saturday, the
Association was 60 carloads short on
filling its orders. Approximately so
kilograms calling for apples, were de-
livered to the Office of Sales Manager
Sieg Saturday by the Western Union
Office.
This condition, following on the
usual dull period during and just fol-
lowing the Christmas holidays is phe-
nomenal, said Mr.. Sieg. my orders
have been coming in so fast that ]
called for a conference of warehouse
men Sunday in order that might take
thorough inventory of my stock be-
AOTc 1 can CoilliFfu the OEutTS TeCtlNtu.
The condition that prevails is, in my
mind, prophetic of good apple mar.
ket for next fall. We have been accus-
toned to seeing the late apple market
go to pieces, and purchasers of fruit
grumbling over losses that they have
incurred, have hesitated about making
heavy purchases the following season
The condition of this year is going to
put good taste in the mouths of buy
ers, and we are going to hear from
them next year. The condition that
prevails here is general over the North
west"
The loading spur and warehouses of
the Association present the busiest
scenes in Hood River at the present
time. Although the total tonnage Of
the Association reached 1880, 600 boxes
for the 1916 season, all but approx.
mately 100 carloads of the fruit has
been shipped. The stock remaining in
storage consists of extra fancy and
fancy Newtowns.

AGED SEA CAPTAIN
DIES ON TRAIN

II. B. Joyce, retired sea captain
and shipbuilder, of Seattle, en- route to
New York city and Washington, d. c.,
was fatally stricken Monday just west
of Corbett while a passenger on the
eastbound limited Having had his
attention called to the man by fellow
passengers on the tourist sleeper, Con-
ductor William Dalrymple made an
examination of the body to find that
death had come while the aged sea
captain, whose age is given at about
rs years, was sitting erect. The rail-
way company's detec. tive, Ed Wood,
took charge of the body, which was
removed to the Andersen Undertaking
parlors when this city was reached.
An identification of the body was
made through cards and papers found
in pockets and suitcases. 1t appeared
that Capt. Jocye was going direct to
New York city and thence back to
Washington in the interest of securing
patents on certain shipbuilding inven-
tions.
Capt Joyce was a Mason and a
knight Templar, and local members of
the fraternal organizations assisted
railway officials in getting in touch
with members of the family in Seattle,
where the body was taken Tuesday for
funeral services and interment.
DR.. V. R. Abraham, coroner, who
made an examination Of the body, de-
cided that no inquest was necessary.

man at the new postoffice, to which
will be attached salary of $S5 per

high office in Europe, also to his broth
er, Fordham, who has wonderful mag
netic charms, which appeal to and at
tract the opposite sex. Trafford Smith,
as master of ceremonies, was both i'm
pressive and expressive, and Mort Hol-
brook has to be complimented on the
able and artistic manner in which the
flag was hung on the wall.
Ted Pooley, husband of Mrs. Z. R.
Pooley, has to be highly commended for
his interchangeable energy, and wonder
full ability as chauffeur.
Mention of the lady workers include
Mrs. Dorothy Pooley, who walked from
the Pooley ranch Ia distance of seven
miles, every day solely to serve the
Red Cross interests and the coffee.
Mrs. Trafford Smith, who had charge
of the culinary department, has to be
complimented on the size of the cake,
and the thinness of the sandwiches.
After supper new surprise was sprung
by George Hitchcock. who auctioned
off the remaining cakes. Mr.. Hitch
cock showed rare ability in this, and
strengthened the rumor that he was
once connected with circus.
We must thank Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Kolstad for the donation of their musi
cal services and best thanks are also
rendered to the merchants of Hood
River who willingly donated and helped
to make the event successful. The
sum of $ll0 was collected for the Red
