ASSOCIATION WORKS
FOR FULL VOTE

With corps of volunteer clerks
busy last Thursday night, two sets of
postal cards were addressed to the
voters of Hood River county, urging
them to attend the polls on June and
vote for the $4,000, 600 road bonding
act. One set of the cards was mailed
at once, while the other will follow on
the eve of election.
i 'The government is calling for mill
tary roadside patriotic and vote for
the bOnds," is the message borne by
one of the postals. The other card
tells eight of the principal reasons and
needs for successful vote on the
bonding act.
1--WE are endeavoring to make June
A red letter day for Hood River"
says c. N. Ravlin, secretary of the
Hood River County Good Roads Asso-
citation, which was formed several
weeks ago for the primary purpose of
aiding the bonding campaign. at is
already an assured fact that Hood
River county will go practically unani-
nous for the issue, but there is fear
that orchardists, who are especially
busy with their crops because of the
late spring, will fail to attend the
polls. To prevent such a contingency
is now our chief work, and we are go
ing to devote every moment between
now and June toagetting fall citizens
to the polls"

ASSN MEMBERSHIP
SAVED MUCH MONEY

Due to the organized cooperation of
the membership of the Apple Growers
Association and the Inauguration of
new methods of cultivation that have
been suggested and worked out by the
local branch Of the Oregon experiment
station, according TO Sam G. Campbell,
the increased cost of producing apples
for 1917 as compared with 1914. the
year the great European war began,
has been negligible, except for the
items of wrapping paper and box
nails. Nails have increased from So. rs
to SIS per keg. Paper has increased to
such an extent that growers are not
likely to wrap their lower grades and
off varieties this season.
According to figures that have been
compiled by Mr.. Campbell and Irl R.
Blagg, his assistant at the Association
warehouses, the prices of spray mater
ials and boxes remain at about the
same figures that prevailed in 1914.
An increase in labor of about 10 per
cent is expected this season.
Formerly the apple grower received
no return for the clean cultivation
practiced in orchards. Now, following
experiments of representative growers
and experiment station experts, apple
growers harvest clover, alfalfa and
other such crops from their orchards.
Cows and hogs are raised, and neat
profits derived from orchard cultiva-
tion.
"But for the Association in antici-
pating the needs of the growers and
making long term contracts, these
prices for l9l7," says Mr.. Campbell,
would be materially increased. The
Association in this wise has saved its
members thousands of dollars"

Enlistment Of Farm Workers Proposed

Hood River. Ore, May 20, 1917.
To the school farmers of Hood River
county:
Cold rains and shivery nights have
destroyed the vitality IN much of the
seed you have planted. If at first
you don't succeed, seed again. This
time watch your soil that it does not
get too dry.
Within the last few days the United
States government has decided to en-.
list IN the Boys Working Reserve not
only those who go from the city to the
farm, but also those boys who live in
the country and are working at home.
If you think you can farm better by
being a Soldier of the Commissary, |
shall be glad to send you a blank and
instructions for enlistment.
But have a garden, a potato patch,
or a corn plat.
Yours for more food,
l.. B. Gibson,
County Supt. of Schools.

GROWERS MUST FUR
NISHACCOMMODATIONS

''If the strawberry growers of Hood
River apply for enlisted laborers under
the plans inaugurated by the Oregon
Agricultural College and expect to get
them," says Mrs. c. A. Bell, who
with Mrs. ]. E. Ferguson has been ap-
pointed by Mrs. W. F. Laraway, presi-
dent of the Woman's club, on a COM
mittee to investigate the conditions on
ranches of such applicants for labor,
"they must show US conclusiyely that
they will provide comfortable quarters
for the workers.
Mrs. Bell declares that Hood River
orchardists deserve keenest criticism
for their failure in former years to
properly care for their transient har-
vest hands.
The appointment of the local COM
mittee came from instructions of Mrs.
C. H. Castner, president oflthe State
Federation, who has written all club
presidents asking for similar commit
tees in all parts of the state. The
committees will make their reports to
county agents or other similar author
tiles

DANIELS TALKS

Of ANNAP0L|
Says Victory viii End Fic-
ton Of Divine Right and
Bring German People a
Breath of Liberty,

Annapolis. Md, June 2S.-America
is demonstrating to the world that
democracy of hundred million per-
sons can wage war efficiently and
with unity of spirit, Secretary DAN
iels declared today in commence
ment address to nearly 200 members
of the naval academy third year class.
whose graduation was advanced by a
year to provide officers for fighting
ships.
"Those who prophesied that Amer
lea would not go whole -heartedly into
this war have been discredited," said
the secretary. THE only divided
councils have been as to the best
method to be employed and when the
president and congress have spoken
their decision has been accepted.
1--WE are going to war without pas
sion, without hatred, without lust for
land. without a trace of vengeance
We do not hate the people we are to
fight. We hate only the autocracy
which harnesses them to the jugger-
naut. Our victory will not only make
the world safe for democracy, will not
only strengthen self government. and
end the fiction of divine right, but 1t
will also bring to the German people
new breath of liberty and hope for
the day when they will govern them
selves and be no longer the pawns of
militarism."

English Minister of Munitions
Says Cooperation Would
Be of Great Benefit to the
Allied Nations,
U-BOATS DESTROY LESS
THAN SIX PER CENT
Zinc and Tungsten Supplies Are
Being Conserved, and Waste
in Purchase Is Being EIini-
mated,

London, June 2S.--At the sugges-
ton of the United States government
negotiations now are in progress for
further consolidation of the inter-
ests of America and England, DR..
Christopher Addison, minister of mu-
nitions, said today The results of
these negotiations, If successful, will
be of enormous value not only in en-
ahling the American government to
place its great resources more readi-
ly and effectively at the disposal of
the allies, but in promoting economy
in purchase.
The munitions industry, DR.. Addi-
son continued, had an interest in near
ly $4,000 tons of shipments monthly.
The submarine campaign, bad as it
was, did not provide much comfort
for the enemy when he knew, for ex-
ample, that of the shell components
shipped from North America, the to-
tai loss since the commencement of
unrestricted warfare had been only
So per cent of the amount shipped.
Mr.. Addison said that before the
war the production of spelter in this
country was only one-third of the
national requirements but that he had
hoped the capacity would be doubled
before the end of the year.
Part Of the plan involved the work
ing of Australian zinc concentrate,
which formerly was under German
control. Some time ago steps were
taken to obtain control of the wolf
ram ores of the empire with view
to regulating the stock of tungsten
for production of steel. and If the
prices at Sheffield were compared
with those in New York, it would be
found the country had profited enor-
mously by the enterprise Arrange
ments were in hand, the minister con-
tinued. which increased the home
production of aluminium by as per
cent, while a committee of experts
was considering development of cop
per and other mineral resources of
the United Kingdom.
