COMMUNITY SYSTEM
Is GAINING FAVOR

The community system of handling
the harvest and packing OF apples Will
according to present expressions OF
growers, be used to a greater extent
the coming fall than in any former
year, in order that shortage OF labor
NAV be combatted. While recent
bulletin issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture states that
about a fourth of the entire North
western apple crop was handled by the
community system last year, total OF
about third of the crop was so han
died here.
The community system, however.
according to experience OF local grow
ers, cannot be done any more cheaply
than by private individuals, and grow.
ers whose crops amount to more than
Z 300 boxes are in most instances put
ting up assembling and packing plants
of their own. In many cases they
handle the fruit of some neighboring
rancher who owns small acreage.
The community system, however,
makes its appeal to the grower whose
acreage is from five to ten acres, and
who does not care to go to the expense
of erecting an individual packing
plant. Many of the larger growers
have provided storage facilities in con-
nection with their packing plants, in
order not to be caught by conditions
of last October. when severely cold
weather caused the loss of thousands
of dollars worth of fruit.
Sales agencies encourage community
packing plants, which, it is declared,
pct out more uniform grade and
pack of fruit. The community plant
is usually equipped with accurate siz-
ing machines, and the work of inspec.
tiOn is smplified by the assembling OF
the fruit in larger units.

NAVY LIFE REELS
DRAW Big CROWDS

Two reels of moving pictures, depict
ing life of the United States Navy,
were shown here Monday at the Elec-
tric theatre, where they created a
great deal of attention. The pictures
showed every phase of the great first
line of defense. They were accom-
panied by A. b. Provost, chief machin-
ist's mate, who was here to secure re-
cruits.
1--WE want machinists, cooks and mu-
sicians," said Mr.. Provost. Except
for these the navy is full. Considering
the fact that the navy has taken in by
volunteer enlistment such huge num-
ber of men in the past six months, the
volunteer system is not an entire fail
ure. But it cannot be applied to the
army like it can to the sea fighters, for
in the former branch the enormous
numbers needed, as has been found by
experience, makes the system imprac-
ticable.
On next Monday real Whithead tor
pedo will be exhibited in Hood River.
An accurate description of the missile
is given by the navy.
The Whitehead torpedo is the one
most used in the U. S. Navy, and is
made up in four parts

sive, 200 pounds of wet gun cotton, a
dry gun cotton primer, and illuminate

vice, called the war nose, is screwed in

2. The air flask and immersion
chamber The air flask is made of
hollow, forged nickel steel. .37 of an
inch in thickness, land is fitted with
hemispherical forward and after bulk
heads, rivetted and sweated to the
flask. The immersion chamber is of
sheet steel, secured to the after end of
the air flask, and contains the hydro
static piston and pendulum, which con-
troll the horizontal rudders.
3. The afterbody contains the en-
CINE cage, in which is four cylinder,
35 horse power, 1900 r. p. m. COM
pressed air engine, the valve group,
the combustion and fuel TASKS and the
horizontal engine. The afterbody also
contains the gyro compartment, IN
which is mounted the gyroscope and
the steering engine that controls the
vertical rudders.
A. The tail cove contains the for
ward and after propeller shafts, the
propellers, the cross-head gear, which
transposes the motion of the shafts,
and the tail blades, on which are
mounted the horizontal and vertical
rudders.

MRS. CASTNER BEGINS
DEFENSE CAMPAIGN

Mrs. Chas. H. Castner, chairman of
of National Defense, Oregon Division,
wrote last week to 800 women whom
she has appointed temporary chairmen
of meetings to be held5in the near fu-
ture for the purpose of launching the
registration of Oregon women, asking
them to organize defense councils in
their respective communities.
"You will at once call meeting, !"
the letter states, "of the presidents of
all women's organizations, including
club, Parent-Teacher, w. c. T. u,
grange, fraternal, church and any 9TH
ers that may exist and that receive
mail at your postoffice. You will then
proceed to elect permanent officers, in
cluding chairman, vice chairman, Sec
retary and treasurer.
1.-The plan of the proposed organiza-
tion is to link together in complete
working cooperation all existing Or
ganizations of women to make effec-
tive the patriotic service we are called
upon to perform. AS soonsas your for
| ganization is perfected, cards for reg
istering the women for service, also
the Hoover food pledge will be sent
you.
"There can be no doubt that the pa
triotic loyalty and devotion of the
women of your community will enter
enthusiastically into this service, and
that you will spare neither time nor
pains in perfecting your organization
and taking the registration census in
methodical and accurate manner, rem
embering that your carrying forward
these instructions promptly is patri.
otic duty you owe your country and
your state.
The postmasters of several hundred
smaller Offices, where no women's or
ganizations exist, were written by
Mrs. Castner, who asked that the let.
ter of instruction be turned over to
some representative woman of the
community.

Summer "SnOw Storm" Seen

The peculiar phenomenon of "snow
storm" raging while "a brilliant sum-
mer sun shone was witnessed here last
week. Instead of snow flakes falling,
however, the air wassflled with.mill-
ions of particles of the white fuzz that
forms on the blossoms of cottonwood
trees that grow in large groves along
the Columbia river lowlands. The
fluffy down filled storerooms and offic-
es, and, adhering to the nap, soon COW
cred new suits.
When the cottonwood blossoms begin
to fly Hood River residents know that
the Columbia river has receded from
the lowlands.

HUNDREDS ENJOY
Y. NJ. c. 4. CIRCUS

To an audience of about 400 the
Y. M. C.. A. circus was staged last
night.
It was snappy, clever and showed
splendid cooperation upon the part
of the volunteer leaders who put it
over.
From the opening overture to the
"Star Spangled Banner" every act
was feature and hugely enjoyed.
After the grand entrance and
promenade, the Juniors, lead by
Francis Mitchell, marched through
various intricate and interesting for
nations, finally emerging into the let

Dudley Gum, Warren Pierpont, Her

Robert Mcclure, George Vilfar, Law
renee Rogers, Allan O'Hara, Otis
Steele, Ben Clutter, Clinton McCon-
nell, Lewis Bancroft. Clad in their
white suits with sashes of red, white
and blue, they made a very pretty
picture.
The employed boys made hit with
their diving stunts, together with the
broom drill. Dressed in clown suits,
they went through dextrous stunts
and mazes of calisthenics under the
leadership of RoyS McVoy, supported
by Joe Lushingtoh, Ralph Meade,
Johnny Pourtles, Cecil Robinson, Ray

Built in a Pensacola shipyard, one
of the new design of merchantmen
was launched at the Y. M. C. A. last
night only to be attacked by an enc
nv submarine. The torpedo missed,
and by we'll directed shot the sub
marine was seen careening over. For
tunately the crew was saved. 1t was
q clever skit. Wilbert Langford was
the captain of the merchantmen, Ce-
ell Robinson of the submarine, and
Roy McVoy was the buoy.
Roscoe Wallace, Jack French and
Alex Olsen put on some very clever
tumbling, porpoise diving and flip
ping, which was much appreciated.
Francis Mitchell gave wonderful
exhibition of bareback riding, while
two marathon runners gave race
against time for a cup of value.
Messrs. Will Farine, Chas. Dorm
Ter and Dewey Jacoby gave most
interesting and clever exhibition of
skill on the horizontal high bar,
which was one of the truly feature
acts of the evening.
All held their breath as Cecil Wal
ton made his slide for life hanging
on by his teeth holding two American
flags.
"The Spirit of the Age" was the
finale, in which small lad climbed
into cannon in spirit of sacrifice
and by the firing of the cannon was
transformed into the Star Spangled
Banner, which hung in the air to the
air, "The Star Spangled Banner"
Altogether the exhibition was a
credit to the Y. M. C. and to the
classes participating.

FINE IN CITY COURT

Antonio Ferraria, the foreigner
who was the other party to a fight
which occurred on Baylen wharf
Thursday afternoon, was fined $50 in
the recorders court yesterday. It de-
veloped during the trial that Ferraria
had thrown a revolver into the water
when he saw policeman approach
ing, and a party who noticed that he
had dropped some object into the
water, thought it was gun and
forthwith undertook to recover it by
diving. His suspicious were we'll
founded, for the revolver was brought
to the surface and was turned over
to the police. The latter used it in
the testimony against the foreigner
