householders in a new kitchen card
soon to be put out by the national food
administration at Washington, d. C.
The cards will caution against hord
ing foodstuffs in homes, pointing out
that the practice not only is selfish,
but that it contributes to high prices
and defeats the purpose of the food ad
ministration in seeking an equitable
distribution.
The reverse side of this card carries
a message to householders.
1.-THE food situation in Europe" II
says "is far graver than when the pre-
liminary survey Of the food supply Of
the world for this year was made. We
have an abundance for ourselves. and
it Is the policy Of the food administrn
tiOn. by prevention of exports. to re-
tain for our people an ample supply
of every essential foodstuff. The har-
vests Of our allies have proved less
than we contemplated. and the great
curta ilment of shipping by the subma-
rine during the past few months has
further prevented them from access to
remote mark cts.
every particle of diminished con-
sumption by the American people is
one particle more for our soldiers. men.
women and children of our allies and
for the starving people in other coun-
tries. This is personal obligation
upon every one Of us towards some In
dividual abroad who will suffer pri-
walton to the extent of our own neg
ligence
of we are to reduce the consumption
of the few products which we should
export abroad we will need to eat n
larger proportion of many different
foodstuffs which we cannot export We
must not waste any foodstuffs. Tn this
emergency only the simplest of living
is patriotic"

Canada in the ease of the pork
packing industry.
The government announces that
it will take all profits of more
than Is per cent made by any such
industry. In case of profits be-
tween 7 and Is per cent it pro-
poses to take one-half.
There can be no evasion of the
measure by watering stock, be-
cause the order provides that the
profits are to be estimated not on
capital stock, but on capital actn-
ally invested.
The reason the pork packing in
dustry has been singled out as the
pioneer in this movement is I'M
doubtedly because of the notoriety
this industry has obtained in the
public mind by reason of the trc-
mendous prices of bacon ard
other staple articles of diet, and
also because this is one industry
where, by reason Of an exhaustive
public examination, the actual
profits which war time conditions
have made possible have been re-
vealed.

The percentage increase in the
cost Of living in Germany since
the war has been greater than in
any other nation. Illicit trade
prices have attained to dizzy
height, but even with those under
government control the rise is
proving serious to the poor, The
following table published by II
Leipsig paper makes compar-
ison of prices before the war and
1917.

not under the jurisdiction of the
War department or the treasury
department, but by the provisions
of our immigration laws are
placed under the jurisdiction OF
the department of labor and COM
prise officers and crews OF the
German merchant vessels seized
by the United States, and other
German civilians. Their deporta-
|ation which ordinarily would take
place, is impracticable in view OF
the international situation.
These aliens receive no compen-
sation from the government eX-
cept such as is allowed for work
actually performed, and the wages
paid them are not eXhOrbitant at
all. In fact, if from their labor
and other sources they receive
more than a moderate amount OF
money a month, all in excess of a
reasonable amount for their care
and comfort is withheld from
them and placed to their credit III
the postal savings banks or some
other safe disposal made Of it.
The department of labor also
officially states that these aliens
are not allowed an excessive
amount of food, but three meals a
day of plain but thoroughly pal
atable, substantial food are given
each. There is no waste in these
detention camps and the same
measures of economy and cOnser-
vation are being practiced which
are being urged upon every Amer
lean household.
Henry Ford has at last said
something that appeals to the peo-
pie of this country. Immediately
upon assuming his duties with the
shipping board, he issued this
statement: "I have been disap-
pointed during this visit to Wash
ington to find our government
planning different sizes and kinds
of equipment and machinery
where one model could be used.
One model makes possible pro-
ductiOn in enormous quantities,
reduced cost and improved quail
ity. In this Standardization lies
the secret of American industrial
power in this war;
Mr.. Ford is on his own ground
when he talks of Standardization.
No one has proven better what the
adoption of one model can do in
the way of lowering cost and in
creasing production.
One Of the great secrets of Ger
many's power in this war has
been her adoption of standardized
war materials.

tised as a patriot for doing so, is

need the money. 1t is not mere
subscription to bond that helps
a government it is by actually
lending money to the government
and not by merely promising it
and shifting the load to someone
else that the citizen really helps
in this great time. There is no de-
sire, however, on the part of the
government to prevent or to inter-
fere with the freedom of legiti-
mate trading in government bonds
that is, trading in good faith.
If a soldier or sailor is. killed,
and he has a wife and children,
the government will provide COM
pensation for the wife, so long as
she remains unmarried, and sup
port for the children until they
become 1S years of age.
These payments range from $25
for a widow alone to $3.50 for
widow and four children. If the
man is totally disabled the gov
ernment will make a fixed month
ly payment to him ranging from
$50 month, if he is married, to
$75 a month, if he has a wife and
three or more children. Should
he be SO helpless as to require a
nurse or attendant he will be CIV
en- up to 500 additional. Should
he lose both feet, both hands,
or both eyes, or be permanently
bedridden, he will be paid 800 a
month. whether he is a bachelor
or married.
Next year every married per-
son living with wife or husband
and having net income of $4,000,
| and every unmarried person hav-
ing a net income of 81, 900 for the
year 1917, must make return Of
income on forms prescribed and
furnished by the federal govern
ment. This return must be made
between Jan. and March !. To
assist people in making the re-
ports, federal agents will visit
each county and give any in
formation possible, even to help
ing people fill in the blanks.
The law makes it the duty OF
the taxpayer to seek out the col
lector. Many people assume that
| if an income tax form is not sent,
or a government officer does not
call, they are relieved from max
ing the report. This is decidedly
in error. 1t is the other way
round. The taxpayer has to go to
the government, and if he doesn' t
within the time prescribed, he is a
violator of the law, and the gov
ernment will go to him with its
penalties.

MCDONALD SELLS
Is BEAN SPRAYERS

D. Mcdonald, local distributor of the
Bean Spray Pump Co. implements, an
nounces the sale of Is power spray
machines. During the past few weeks,
with A. F. Sanderson, special repre-.
sentative of the San Jose, CAL, con.
cern, here with Mr.. Mcdonald, growers
have evidenced an acute interest in
spraying implements, and it is likely
that sales of power sprayers will reach
as great number as on last season.
The total investment in these imple-
ments purchased from Mr.. Mcdonald
will reach approximately 5000.
The Dufur Orchard Co., according to
Mr.. Mcdonald, has purchased five Of
the Bean power sprayers. This con-
cern has also purchased one of the Bean
tractors.
The Bean tractor.is expected by Mr..
Mcdonald to arrive in Hood River
about March 10. For three years the
Bean people have been experimenting
with tractors A new machine has been
originated each year, but never before
has the company offered one of its
tractors for sale.
"The company, says MIR. Mcdonald,
wanted to make sure of machine
that would give satisfaction and on
which they could make a guarantee.
They believe they have such an imple-
ment now, and it is likely that the
Bean tractor will prove quite sensa-
tin in Hood River"
One of the features of spraying the
coming year will come from the con.
struction of towers on newly purchased
implements. Mr.. Mcdonald says he
finds many orchardists, whose trees
are of any size, getting designs for
towers, the use of which means
clean fruit in the tops of larger trees.

CRAMPS TELLS FRUIT
TRAIN EXPERIENCES

E. V. Cramps, chief inspector of the
Fruit Growers Exchange. who re-
turned last week from Boston, the des-
tination of a special trainload of heat
ed box cars loaded with Hood River
apples, declares the transcontinental
journey one of the most interesting
experiences of his life. Mr.. Cramps,
who was accompanied by his brother,
Z. M. Cramps, Clyde Arnold, William
Gibbons and Alva Hardman, SAYS that
he hopes he will never again have the
responsibility placed on his shoulders
of saving S25, 900 cargo of fruit from
the penetrating frost of weather nine
degrees below zero.
The fruit train in charge of local
men was comprised of Is box cars,
each equipped with specially built coal
burning stoves. Night and day the
men were busy constantly going from
one to the other of the cars, watching
the thermometers. At one point in
| Wyoming their train was set on by
party of tramps, who entered one of
the cars and were found feasting off
Hood River Spitzenburgs. Due to the
alertness of the tenders, the fruit train
reached Boston, whence the apples
were exported to England, without the
slightest damage.
From here to Chicago" say Mr..
Cramps, 1--WE were given coach for
lounging and sleeping accommodations
The Union Pacific line showed us every
courtesy, but the Grand Trunk, over
| which we were routed out of Chicago,
were not prepared to take care of US,
and we had to sleep in box cars or
crowded cabooses. 1t was up in Cana
dian territory that we struck the cold
est weather. We We're certainly

GROWERS URGED TO
BUY SPRAY MATERIALS

Last fall the shortage of refrigerator
cars made a worry for fruit growers in
getting their crops to consumers. 1t is
now reported that the lack of sufficient
rolling stock may create a shortage of
power sprayers and spray materials
before the 1917 season has ended. Hop
ing to prepare a surplus of lime-sul-
phur solution and other spray materi-
ais, J. c. Butcher, the local spray
manufacturer, says that he is operat-
ing his plant at full capacity, and
warnings have been sent out by grow
ers' associations to cooperate with him.
"The situation suggests" says Mr..
Butcher THAT growers in need of
power sprayers and spray materials for
the coming season should secure their
supplies as soon as possible. | now
have my plant stored full, and cannot
get in new rough materials until grow.
ers remove their orders.
The cost of orchard spraying will be
materially increased the coming year.
Lime sulphur solution has advanced SO
cents per barrel. Sulphur has increas-
ed in cost from $32. SO to $2. so per
ton. The materials from which ar
senate of lead are made have risen APP
proXimatey three cents per pound.

Stone Fears Lost Lake Bill

AT the instigation of D. |. Stone,
who owns a ranch on the headwaters
of the West Fork of Hood River, Secre-
tary Scott has written Representative
Sinnott, asking him to watch for the
introduction of bill by Senator Harry
Lane which will provide for the addi-
tion of large slice of the Lost Lake
country to the Bull Run reserve. Mr..
Stone states that he has been told that
Senator Lane, in behalf of an element
of Portland citizens, has been contem-
plating such bill.
Hood River people maintain that
Lost Lake is one of their most valua-
BILE scenic assets, and any attempt on
the part of Portland to invade the Hood
River water shed meets with a strong
local disapproval. Secretary Scott,
however, thinks it very improbable
that Senator Lane will introduce such
a bill as is specified in the information
received by Mr.. Stone.

DEMAND EXPECTED

Although it is too early in the sea-

yield of the fruit for this year, purchas.
ers of Strawberries are already Jockey.
