VINEGAR FACTORY
TO ADD EQUIPMENT

C. J. Calkins, manager of the Hood
River Apple Vinegar Co., announces
that with additions that are being
made at the plant his concern will be
able to handle all of the Gull and off
grade apples in the valley the coming
season.
The vinegar and cider company has
added new grinding machine and is
building additional tanks for 10000
gallons capacity. The plant is now
equipped with battery of five hyd-
raulic presses, four of which are used
in pressing juice to be converted into
vinegar and the other is used exclu-
sively for sweet cider. The company
turned out a total of $50, 900 gallons
of cider and vinegar last season.
Beginning here eight years ago in a
little one room frame structure, the
present plant of the Hood River Vine
gar Co., since the recent purchase of
an adjoiningg lot from Arthur P. Tiff,
Portland attorney, has frontage of
240 feet on the O.-W. R. & N. switch
ing yards. Across Railroad avenue
the company has constructed two
story evaporating plant, the fruit, af-
ter it has been peeled and cut being
carried to the kilns on an overhead

men registered in this county under
the war census was completed Wednes-
day of last week by members of the

activity. The county court, in monthly
meeting, ,Eheld its sessions in the office
of Assessor Wickham, the main court
room having been turned over to the
women. Women performing the patri-
otic duty were:

FIRE DEPARTMENT in
ANOTHER FAST RECORD

When large hole was burned in the
roof of the Sherman avenue home of
A. Whorlow Friday morning, Hood
River experienced her third fire in the
past month, totalling damage of ap-
proximately 500, 600, a sum double the
total loss of the previous two years.
The fire epidemic began a month ago,
when the Often building, occupied by
Cram and Laraway, suffered heavy
loss from blaze originating in the
basement. In the second fire the
frame structure occupied by the Star
Grocery and Williams restaurant was
gutted, the stocks of both places hav-
ing been ruined.
But for the efficiency of the volun-
teer fire department, which has won
the universal plaudits of local citizens,
the loss would have been very severe.
Friday the department, facing the
alternative of a six blocks run with
a hose cart, lifted the heavy apparatus
bodily up the flight of concrete steps
leading up to the court house and ar
rived in record time across the block
at the burning building.

Fearing that they might be asked
for registration cards, members of
Twelfth Company, who were exempt
from registration under the war CEN
sus, on leaving for Portland visit
have asked Capt. Wilbur for docu-
mentary evidence showing their men,
bership in the local military organiza-

the small slips, testifying that they
are guardsmen may save them from

FOR BAKED COD OR PADDOCK
Method Of Preparation That Has Long
Been in Favor With Housewives
Of New England.

Wash and wipe a small cod or had
dock. Now, hold in an upright position
and have a needle and string handy.
Take the threaded needle and run
through the head from side to side,
then in the opposite direct1o on through
the middle of the body, then reverse
and put through tail, then draw up,
and it will form a letter S. Tie ends
of string together on under side of fish.
If fish is to be stuffed it m lst be done
first. For stuffing, one-half cupful bread
crumbs and four t~easpoonfuls melted
butter, four teaspoonfuls Of finely
chopped parsley or onions, two tea
spoonfuls salt and one of pepper. Add
milk to moisten, put in fish and sew it
up. When fish is put in the pan it is
resting on it's belly. Cut gashes in back
of fish about two inches apart and in
sert narrow strips of salt pork. Dredge
with flour and haste ofte n with the
pork drippings. Allow ten minutes to
every pound and ten minutes extra.

Why Salt Causes Thirst.

Salt has been described as a natural
element of the blood in about the same
proportion as in the water of the
ocean. Under general conditions we
do not feel the existence of salt in our
bodies because its effect is counteract-
ed by a due proportion of water.
When we eat an excessive amount
of salt thirst is created by the demand
OF nature that we also take a proper
tionate amount of water and dilute
the salt to it's proper relative amount.
Any food that tends to absorb the
moisture of the body will cause thirst
for the same reason-that our physical
welfare requires a balanced quantity
Of water.

made by some member of the party
and in tiny cups handed round to each
one, as much regard being paid to ETH
quette as if all We're assembled in the
most spacious guestroom in the larg-
est city in the country.
Conversation never lags, and until
late in the evening the men talk, some
telling imaginary stories, others recit-
ing impromptu poetry, until, tired out,
all except those designated to keep

Most of the houses of Arabia are
built of sundried bricks; many of them
are three stories high, and all have
flat roofs. AS a rule the interiors are
quite devoid of furniture, the coffee
rooster, FOUNDER, pots and ups being
about all that Is visible that avors Of
daily life and needs. Many of the
houses are doorless,. accounted for by
the scarcity of suitable wood.
Wherever people are found in the
Arabian peninsula with the most limit
ed number of milk-giving animals,
such as sheep, goats or camels, there
will be found the national substitute
for the lard of the occident. or the
olive oil of other lands, a very favorite
production called "semmln." This is a
butter which is made in a primitive,
simple Ind unappetiZing manner by be-
ing churned in II skin Which has been
none too well cured and does not rec
ommend itself for cleanliness. The
mode of procedure is simplicity itself,
the milk being put into the skin and
then either swung backward and for
ward on a tripod, or rolled to and fro
on the ground until the fat of the milk
forms itself into butter. A fayorite
dish to set before the distinguished
guest is a mixture of dates and butter.
Throughout Arabia there are many
things in common among the Bedouins
and the Fellahs, as for example, the
manner of clothing among both sexes;
little distinction is made between rich
and poor, and from a mans apparel it
is impossible to get any idea of his So
cial standing.
In all homes it is customary for the
host to assume the place of waiting
during the serving of food. He takes
his meals after all the others have
been served.
As in other Mohammedan lands, the
women in the cities and towns of Ara
bia are secluded, but in the village and
camp life they enjoy the same free.
dom as the men the women, too, do q
large share of the work In cooperation
with the male members of the family.

Between Man and Man.

Confucianism, the prevailing doc
trine Of China, Is neither a religion
nor a system Of transcendental or o s
mic philosophy.
1t is an agnostic system Of ethics and
a system of practical and purely tenn
poral common-sense philosophy which
sees no farther than this earth.
It takes practically no notice what
aver Of the question Of al after life.
OF eternity, of future rewards and pun
ishments, Of God.
1t teaches merely that II ought to
do good because 1t is mans duty to
do good. Confucianism is entirely con-
cerned with the relation between man
and man.

Budd's Crossing is on the main rail-
road line, and lies five miles beneath
Lake Lomond, which irrigates the
thirsty section by means of a huge
dam, back in the mountains. If ever
the dam burst engineers, and people
with plain ordinary sense as well, de-
clared that Budd's Crossing would
Just about have time to know it-no
more. All agreed that only those on
the outskirts would be able to make
the rim Of the horseshoe round the
town in time.
Budd's Crossing vas not worrying
about the concrete dam, guaranteed to
last three centuries. 1t was worrying
about the bank robberies in neighbOr-
ing towns. The Cotton gang had held
up the banks Of Newboro and Gasthaus
in broad daylight. taken out the con-
tents of the disrupted safes, and rid
den OF unscathed. Budd's Crossing
had prepared for them-at least, the

guards who patroled the front Of the
building and ~.fe prepared to shoot
upon p~rovocation. Some nervous peo-
ple described bank robbers in every

Somehow 1t leaked out that the Col
tons had tent a bombastic letter to the
president. They promised to have the
public's deposits by a certain day. As
Cotton aped the so-called romantic
deeds of the outlaws, the banks nerves
were on the jump when that day
dawned.
Nothing happened that morning. 1t
was not till two in the afternoon that
Budd's Crossing got the thrill OF its
career. 1t was Meta Clare who sent
the news forth broadcast:
"The dam is breaking. Run for your

Budd's Crossing was growing into
q stable place. The population had
increased twelve thousand, there was
an apartment house, and Miller's build
ings, containing the new telephone
central, with the Bank Of North Kan
sas opposite, was the picture that
familiarized the outside world with
Budd's Crossing when seen on post
cards.
There was a picture of Newton park,
with a couple seated upon a bench,
the young mans arm around the girls
waist. The young man was unmis-
takably Harry Fisher, for the angle
of Photographic impact showed his
pointed, aggressive chin distinctly. The
girl, whose back alone was visible,
certainly looked like Meta Clare of
the telephone exchange. The picture,
which was snapped by flashlight,
caused a good deal of scandal; and
from the fact that the principal fig
Tres in it both laughed it might have
been inferred that they were engaged
to be married.
They were. Harry was in the bank
and he could look up and see Meta
opposite the switchboard across the
street. Meta never looked at him, how
ever, being attentive to calls.
How the quarrel started nobody
knew. But the first thing known wal
that Meta and Harry were not or
speaking terms, and presently Harry
was running after half the girls il
town, and holding himself defiantl!

STUDY Of Facts.

The study Of facts is an important
element in education. Not o. unre-
lated facts, or even of related cts
which make up a trivial whole.
1t is essential that some serious su
ject of fairly wide range should be pre-
scented more or less constantly for a
period of at least several years to Il
mans mind, so that it becomes in II
sense his own, before he can rightly
be said to have received an "educa-
ton"
The greater and the more humane
the subject pro tanto the education,
but any really serious subject will
serve.

She called the last settlement in the

change. casting apprehensive glances
upward. The dam had still held. The
town was empty.
Only in front of the bank two horses
tethered. AS she ran past Meta cast
an apprehensive glance in through the
opel door. What she saw nerved
her I'd a realization of what had hap
pened.
Through the open door, and through
the plate glass Of the cashiers cage,
she saw Harry, bound and trussed,
seated helplessly, while an armed man
stood over him and another worked
busijx' amid the debris of what had
ter of the cashiers cage lay Harry's
revolver, which he had drawn too late.
Immediately Meta sized up the situa-
tion. The report was a fake, launched
by the robbers in the bold design of
emptying the town. 1t had succeeded
admirably, and, with nobody on hand
hut Harry, they were safe to work
their will. .

Meta stole onward. Now, crouchini
under the wall of the cage, she was in

look round. She saw Harry, bound
watching the men out of his half-closet
