prehensive summing up Of the past
years development, and at the same
time it is prophetic Of the future.
To many readers the Oregonisn an

CHEAP

ln the Oregonisn Annual of Monday
Mark Woodruff, of Portland, has writ
ten Of the benefits the state OF Oregon
will derive from the proposed appropri.
ation of a fnud Of $25, 600. which will
be combined With an equal sum from
Washington and sum Of half that
amount from British Columbia and
used in concentrated campaign Of
advertising throughout the east and
middle west on the great scenic attrac.
tions Of the Northwest. Mr.. Woodruff
has worked out a table of the proper
tionate cost to each Oregon county.
Hood River county, IL the legislature
makes the appropriation, will be called
on to pay $253. Muitnomah's share of
the expense will be s8.654.
Situated as hub Of the scenic mid
Columbia river district, Hood River
will benefit greatly from the proposed
campaign Of publicity. We cannot see
how a Hood River man. after reading
Mr.. Woodruff's table of expense, can
very well be opposed to the proposed
plan of rsising..tbe publicity fund.

NV. FRUIT EXCHANGE
OFFERS $lOO PRIZE

For weeks past, or to be more &C.
curate. since the first announcement of
the contest in the Literary Digest Of
November Is. the American public has
been turning over and over in its mind
the extraordinary and wonderful picture
advertisement OF "Skookum" apples
which appears elsewhere in this issue.
1t is safe to cay that millions have
been attracted by the advertisement.
and have been suggested" or per-
suaded into thinking over and over
what good title for it would be. The
North western Fruit Exchange now
comes out. as will be seen by the ad-
vertisement herein. with an invitation
to fruit growers and their wives and
everyone Of the Northwest to compete
in this interesting contest. The Ex-
change will distribute 500 in cash
prizes and the lucky winners will no
doubt have the satisfaction of seeing
their title used in publications the
United States over. 1t is a prise con-
test in which the growers themselves
can we'll afford to take a part-it is all
in the way of boosting the Northwest
apple, and it would be an interesting
thing u prize or two were captured
by the growers themselves. Every.
body will recognize in bis "Sko0kum"
contest picture the Gold Dust Twins, y
the dutch Boy Painter" the Cream
Of Wheat" chef. and other national
figures in advertising. The picture has
been very favorably commented on, II
is reported. by professional advertising
men, and in fact has caused something
of a sensation in the advertising world.

A CHURCH RECORD

The following is clipped from the

Here is a record that church may
well point to with pride. Ii was sent
to me by the pastor OF the West Pres.
hyteIisn church. of ST. Louis, the Rev.
erend Francis W. Russell, d. D.:
'In the more than 25 years history
of this church We have never given an
entertainment or supper for money,
nor have we ever permitted such q
thing rs fair or a bazaar. This
church believes in the conservation of
money as an act of worship just as
much as it believes in any other service
for the Lord"
Could any financial record of church
be ssner, or its belief better expressed?
here 10 five lines is the Golden Rule.
financially speaking, for the American
church.
The Home Journal editor has thus
briefly presented condition that IL Q

A SUGGESTION FOR ECONOMY

According to dispatch from Salem.
Secretary of State Olcotl in bis forth.
coming biennisi report viii. recommend
that steps be. taken toward securing q
constitutional amendment and legisla-
tion that will eliminate numerous elec-
tioDs and result in throwing ell munici.
pal and school elections on the same
day as the general elections. Figures
compiled by the secretary of states
Office show that during the years 1919
and 1914 elections cost taxpayers a
snn Of almost half million.
II Secretary Olcott's suggestions are
acted on. We believe that great econ.
omy cen be worked. And perhaps q
greater interest can be created in mu.
nicpal elections il they fell OH the
dates Of general elections. At least, q
larger vote will'be polied. The munic-
ipsl elections Of Hood River for the
past several wears, considered from the
standpoint Of electors visiting the
pulls, have been fBfces.

HIGH SCHOOL SAVING SYSTEM

The authorities and faculties Of the
Hood River high schools and local
banks are to be commended for the new
systene established for the teaching Of
thrift to school children. The fact that
SO many children Of certain school
have saved total of large amount
over a given time may be interesting,
but this of itself may not be of any
great benefit. We will see the bene-
fetal results score of years from now.
when the tots that are now the proud
possessors of system banks have be-
come men and women of the commun.
ity, that is. unless the savings system
runs spasmodic course and ia allowed
to die for lack Of interest.
If children are taught to realize the
value of money from the time they
reach the age of understanding, it will
be one of the most valuable lessons
they have ever learned. Nor does
thrift mean stinginess. Nor is il the
mere ability to save. The human being
that has the attributes of thriftiness is
not prodigal. He looks ahead.
And if the school savings eysten. as
adopted. is maintained with the proper
accompaniment Of instructions from
teachers, students will have acquired
a hsbit that will be mighty handy.
From childhood on through life they
will be 'savers." After one has be.
come accustomed to other modes Of
life. ths habit of saving cannot be
acquired any too easily. You may say.
''Ob we'll. III begin tomorrow, or some
other specified time in the future to lay
aside something" That kind Of saving
never puts any balance in the ssviuge
departments of banks. Other habits
have become too strong. The drunk.
ard. you kGow. Is always just getting
ready to swear OFF. He never does it.

Hail the Oregon Mist
tFrom the Oregonian)

II is natural for the rain 10 fall in
January in Western Oregon. Snow ia
pure and beautiful. The sunshine which
followed it Sunday was gorgeous. Bot
the east wind had brought its aches
and snuffies. The human body seems
to adapt itself to natures normal mood.
So it is said that aches and snuffies,
which defied drugs and physicians when
Oregon nature was on a holiday, are
dissipated by Oregon Mist.
Let US hope that Indian George-.w
ever be may be-who predicted hard
winter, misread the signs. To make
an honest confession, we have small
faith in Indian weather lore. Indian
weather predictions come about some-
thing like this:
White Brother "Good morning,
George"
Indian George-"Ugh."
I White Brother Going to be hard
winter, GeorRe?"
Indian George "Ugh."
White Brother -"Good day, George.
Indian George ugh"
When this edifying conversation
reaches the public it appears that In.
dian George has said that the fish are
seeking deep holes, that the rabbits
have taken on an extra coat of fur,
that the squirrels have laid by great
stores of nuts, that the bears went to
bed three weeks early. and that the
moss crop is unusually prolific all be-
ing certain tokens to the observant
Indian that snow and ice are to seal
land and stream.
We are not acquainted with Indian
George. But il we were. we doubt
that we would place more credence up.
on his prophetic powers than we do
upon those of the Rev. lrl r. Hicks.
The thing to be admired about the
Rev. Hicks is that he gives Us variety.
But who ever heard of Indian George
predicting anything but a hard winter?
Anyhow. thank God for the rsin!

TIE PROPOSED DUAL GOVERNMENT

Recent agitation has been instisated
in the interest of q dual government
for the city and county Of Hood River.
The Glaier csnpot claim the credit for
the idea, although the proposed plan of
making q thorough study of such sue.
cessful systems elsewhere in the Unit.
ed States meets with our heartiest sp.
provsl, and we wish to announce to cur
readers that we have started cam
paisn of investigation. and that our
findings from time to time. as they be-
come available. will be published.
We think dual government. If plans
can be properly worked out. will be Of
great benefit 10 Bood River county and
the city Of Hood River. Despite
breaches that have existed between
cityssand rural factions, the interests Of
the city and county are identical. We
see no reason why one set Of officers
could not administer the affairs Of both
and thus work a great saving to the
two municipal corporations. Hood
River county 10 small and compact and
the system should prove just as sue
cessfuI here as in the city and county
Of San Francisco. Calif.. the affairs of
which are administered under dual
government.
IL has been insinuated that the Gia.
cier. since il was so strongly opposed
not 80 very long ago to the City Of
Utility. scheme that met with such
an overwhelming defeat at the hands
Of the voters, is inconsistent in foster.
ing the present movement. But such
is not the case. Those proposing the
City Of Utility would have trebled the
expenses Of the Hood River valley by
establishing three heads Of govern.
ments. The City of Utility had gone
no further than the dream stage.
Those who voted for the City of Utility
would have saddled themselves with
something entirely visionary. The pro.
posed combining of the city and county
of Hood River must be worked out to
something practical. We wish to say
that as yet we have endorsed no ulti-
mate plans, but we do think that the
suggestion Is worthy of consideration
and ON effort toward practical solution.

In all probability, however, the

While the court may lawfully raise
the road fund under the general fund,
it is argued. since the members of the
court stated that they would apportion
70 per cent of the funds raised in each
regularly established road district to
the respective district, that g court Of
equity will enforce the court to make o
like distribution of funds raised from
