THE CIGARETTE IN THE HOME

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Years ago the author of "Stageland' remarked that the cigarette was the badge of infamy on the stage. The villain and the adventures always came on smoking one. That is no longer theatri- cal tradition, for the cigarette is now smoked even in polite society. That there are some who object to it is shown by the action of New York husband who spanked his wife for smoking them. The court upheld him in the act. 'Do it again if necessary" was the advice from the bench. This interference with the free dom of the individual is in harmony with much recent uplift doctrine, but to reac- tionary minds that is no reason for in- dorsing it without qualification. It Is Q very dangerous thing to prescribe the rights of woman, married or single, espe- ! cially if any discrimination in favor ot man is involved. If smoking be an evil | if the cigarette be the worst form of the evil, then let all alike be forbidden the | indulgence. Does the husband who pre- vents his wife by force from an occa. sional whiff himself disdain the habit Unless he does. what moral ground oi action has he?

SUPT. GIBSON ASKS
FOR COOPERATION

To the Parents of Hood River County {:
Should not your children during this
summer vacation be the producers of
food and clothing that will serve in the
home and sell for money on the mar
ket? The state department of educa-
ton, the Oregon Agricultural College,
all our school boards and all our teach
ers are anxious to cooperate with you
in helping your children become pro-
ducers. The Oregon Agricultural Col
lege has made arrangements with the
o. W. r. & N. Co. by which fruit
canned by the children will be bought
by the railroad company for use in
their dining cars. Everything made
with the needle, cooked in the kitchen
or grown on the farm will have value
very probably a high value.
Every young American in Hood Riv-
er county nine years old or older should
take up sewing, baking fruit and veg
etable canning, gardening. or poultry
raising during this spring and summer.
1t will pay us largely in dollars and
cents. II will pay US more largely in
stability and independence of character
and in robustness of young manhood
and yong womanhood.
Parents, teachers, preachers, school
boards, grangers, citizens and every
body else, may we not all cooperate to
help the young TO grow strong by
teaching them to help themselves.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
OIL APPLICATIONS
(By Leroy Childs)

The most important factor in des-
troying the efficiency of the oil appli-
cation is rain. In the work carried
on last year 1t was found that two
to three days of fair weather follow
ing the spraying gave partial control
0f the leaf roller. while with five or
more fair days existing complete con-
troll was obtained.
This year the Work is becomin
complicated to the orchardist of large
acreage owing to the rush that will
follow this long retarded plant grow.
tn; condition that will put the oil
spray and the delayed dormant scab
application rather close together. De,
yelopment undoubtedly will be very
fast when it starts and orchardists
should take this into. consideration
in planning their work.
In view of the fact that rain seems
to be the determining factor in sue.
cess or failure, ii is the writer's sug
gestion that growers with large acre
ages begin their spraying with oil
as soon as period of warm settled
weather arrives. This would per.
haps also be good advice to the or,
chardist of smaller acreage, but he
has more time to get the spray on
and can undoubtedly wait TO advan
tage. The oil used at the rate OF six
gallons to 100 gallons of water can
be applied safely until the blossom
buds begin to show rather prominent
ly. From the present stage of devel
opment, in the case of the later vari
cites (Newtowns and Spitz), this con.
dition will probably not be reached
in less than two weeks. OF course
this will be reached much sooner in
the case of the early varieties.
In the case of NewtoNns and Spit
zenburgs it will probably not be nee
essary to apply the delayed dormant
application for scab control in less
than two weeks, the first leaves
should be well unfolded before this
application is made. Growers who
do not use the oil application should
add tobacco with the lime sulphur in
this application in order to control
the brown aphis 1t is this insect
which causes the little gnarly apples
that hang in clusters in the lower
parts Of the trees. This insect can
only be controlled at this time ana II
is therefore very important that the
tobacco be added. From work car.

it is necessary to begin the control

Horse Has Thrilling Adventure

After an episode that will perhaps
form the most thrilling event of its
life, one of the work horses of F. H.
Button is again in the harness, drawing
pillow. The horse was grazing Sunday
afternoon at the end of long trestle,
abandoned several years ago by the o.
W. R. & N. Co., when the track was
Strengthened and shortened by a fill.
Frightened by the sudden rush of a
train around curve, the horse ran out
on the old trestle distance of about
100 feet, when one of its legs slipped
through the ties. To remove the ami
NAL it was necessary for a crew of
men to saw out several of the ties.
The horses injuries consisted only of
some minor bruises.

Who Will Pay Road Bonds?
Hood River. Ore, April II. 10

Hood River, Ore, April ii, 1917.
Editor Glacier: In a widely read
article in the Oregonian recently there
occurred a misstatement in regard to
the proposed $1,000, 900 good roads
bond issue to which | would like to
call attention.
The article stated ''The Autoists are
to pay the cost 1t should have read,
''The tire companies are to pay the
COST" and might have mentioned that
the gasoline and spring manufacturers
will contribute as well.
Take the writer's case. My tire bill
is about SITS year and gasoline comes
to about $50. always do some tour
ing on the main through roads of the
state. The increase in my license tax
will be $3.50.
Can anyone doubt that the hard sur
facing of these main roads will save
me more than $3.50 out of the 1926
spend for tires and gasoline?
Granting that to be the case, and it
will undoubtedly be the case with a
great majority of the autoists in Ore
gon, it is all wrong to figure that the
autoists will pay the cost any more
than the Highway Commission will
paw the cost.
The series runs as follows: The
Commission pays the bond holders, the
state pays the Commission, the auto
lists pay the state and the tire and gas
companies pay the autoists.
If any organized opposition to this
bond issue develops let us investigate
and see if those companies are not be-
hind it. 1t may be against their inter-
ests. 1t favors the interests of every
one else. Yours truly,
Ralph Root.

SCHOOL APPROPRIATION
NOT CUT BY GOVERNOR
Representative Stones Success and
Good Record Should Assure His
Reelection

II regard it as the strongest en-
dOrsement of his record that Archie
Stone could have that the governor
struck out over two million dollars
from the appropriations, and yet did
not take a penny from the Morris
school," said a welI-infOrmed citizen
of Morris on Wednesday. 'The ap-
preparation for the Morris dining
hall is about the only building that
was not stricken out either by the
committee or the governor"
Requests to the legislature for ap-
prOpriations totaled $35,OOO,OOO.
These were finally shaved by the ap-
preparation committee of the House
and the finance committee of the
Senate to $23,867,329. Then on
Monday Governor Burnquist vetoed
$2,O27,018 more. Among the items
cut by the governor was the def
cheney school aid of $1,O7O,OOO,
S250,O0O for drainage, $15O,OOO for
wolf bOunties, $780, miscellane-
Gus items mostly for state parks, and
the following buildings: Cottage at
tage for boys at School for Feeble
Minded, FaribauIt, $4,000; school
at Lake Phelan,, hospital for crippled
children, $46,OOO; buildings at
School of Agriculture, Crookston
100000; university buildings,
$125, 5000; Bemidji Normal school,
$4,000.
In spite Of the high mortality
among requests for appropriations,
the amounts for the Morris school
weathered the storm without having
been cut a cent from the original
request, and this successful outcome
stands as testimonial to Represent
ative Archie Stones standing with
his fellow members in the House,
with the senators and with Governor
BurnQuiSt.
Representative Archie Stone is en-
titled to reelection. He not only
carried thru successfully the appro-
priatiOns for the Morris school, but
originated or assisted in many bills
in which the farmers and business
men of the county we're especially
interested, and his friends take
pride in the record which he made
Already many voters have expressed
themselves that he has earned un-
animous reelection, an opinion that
will meet with general approval
thruout the county.
