COX OPTIMISTIC
OVER APPLE DEAL

Frank NJ Cox, Chicago attorney, who
spends a part of each summer here ON
his 0del orchard place, believes that
the market for Northwestern apples
will be good the coming winter. Mr.
Cox declares that the torrid weather
of the middle west and east will take a
heavy toll Of the apple crop.
Before left home for Hood River"
he said 1.-The hot sunshine was cooking
apples in the Nirginian and middle
western belts. fhis condition is going
to cut short the home orchard crops
that would otherwise have been SO
plentiful.
Mr.. Cox is opposed to the expensive
method used by Northwestern growers
1 in packing their fruit.
"No wonder we cannot compete with
the apples of New York and Michigan,
when the growers there simply pack
them in barrel and send them to
market without any fancy frills. 1t is
costing US too much money to prepare
our apples do not believe we should
put any fancy wrappers on the fruit.
The purchasers want to see the apples
anyhow, when they are displayed by
grocers and retailers.
Sometimes through ignorance and
sometimes through willful fraud, re-
tailers rebrand apples. Mr.. Cox tells
Of seeing box of little Winesaps, fruit
not much larger than English walnuts,
offered for sale by Chicago fruiterer.
A sign above the box announced that
! they were extra fancy Spitzenburgs.
In this instance Mr. Cox resorted to a
little persuasion, threatening legal pro-
cedure against the retailer. and the
misleading sign was removed.
Mr.. Cox is accompanied by his wife
and son.

RECENT RAINS
WARD OFF FIRES

Here Tuesday from Upper Valley
forests, Warren Cooper, who has charge
of forestry work on the north base Of
Mount Hood, says present indications
point to a season without fires in the
Cascade national forests.
"The rains we have recently had, ;"
says Mr.. Cooper, "have thoroughly
dampened the earth, and fires will not
be easily started. The plants Of the
forest areas have been given new life
and all foliage is green and thrifty. If
we can just have another shower or
two at intervals throughout the late
summer and fall, we will have one Of
the best seasons we have ever expert

Guard Organization Checked

The organization of a home guard
company here has met with a check
because of the inability Of the county
court to make an appropriation of a
fund for the purchase of equipment and
maintenance. With heavy expendi-
lures, the county has no available mon.
ey for the home guard. and an opinion
from District Attorney Derby stated
that the court under the budget law
does not have legal authority to divert
moneys from other segregations for
such use.
A committee had secured applications
for membership from 65 business mer
and orchardists.

Lorraine sector has accounted for three

soldiers entered the trenches, the
chaplain addressed them as follows:
Boys, international Jaw says your
chaplain can't shoot, but a war can't
be won by not shooting. You all will
soon have your guns notched for the
Huns you've accounted for. l can
have nothing to do with this, but, after
you get one for yourself, get one for

The three privates who conducted
a successful daylight raid on the Ger
man trenches yesterday got six
Germans among them. The raiders
were John Dismukes of Nashville and
Harry Couch and Jonn Mccain of
BirminGh ham, Ala.
The three southerners hunted up
the chaplain today. The first one,

THIS KANSAS FARM HAS
EDUCATED It's POOR BOYS

Ottawa, Kan, May 14.-How a
240 acre farm in Williamsburg
township has educated 115 poor
boys, is the story of a trust fund
established by the late Charles
Silley of this county, nineteen years
ago. An interesting feature of this
enterprise, as reported by the trus-
tee. F. L. Williams, who has the
work in charge, is that ninety-five
per cent of the boys who were
beneficiaries of the educational al
1owance. have paid back all the
money advanced to them. AS Mr..
Williams expresses it, that means
that that same percentage of the
boys have made good in their
chosen life work.
Being bachelor and having no
near relatives, Mr.. Silley. a French
man, who for many years lived a
neighboF to Mr.. Williams, made
known to the latter, his desire to
devote his estate to the assistance
of poor boys who desired educa-
ton. Mr.. Williams, who in his
youth had received a good educa-
ton thru a trusteeship similar to
the one he now holds. proposed
that the farm be placed in trust
for the defined purpose. In 1899
this was done and this years re-
port shows a larger fund on hand
than at any time since it was
started.

FRENCH CARRIER

NAB HUN AIRMEN

Paris. April Is, (by mail) .-Altho
not SO exceptional an event as the
capture sometime ago by cavalrymen
of German submarine which had
run ashore. the taking of a German
airplane on April had it's unusual
side, for the captors were four French
territorials whose duties as warriors
were limited to taking care of a
travelling carrier pigeons cote.
AS night fell that day, a German
plane landed gently in a meadow near
Fismes out of sight of any house or
apparently any human being. The
pilot. who had lost his bearings, re-
manned at his post, keeping his engine
running and his hand on one of the
two machine guns on the machine,
while the observer consulted his maps
They were about to resume their
flight when the four territorials rushed
out of a little wood close by and gave
the word hands up!"
Seeing that resistance was useless
the officer ordered the pilot to get
out and surrender. The victors were
armed with rifle and three hunting
guns, their spoils were one uninjured
German airplane, two mitrailleuses,
and two men.

threw Americas weight into the
Picardy battle line.
Hardened first by months of train

some real action. Officers and men
alike realized they were going up
against a harder game than they had
ever known, but they were anxious to

them smeared with the mud of the
trenches, their puttees torn by wire.
Then they brushed up.

constantly during the movement: But

shield his face from the rain in lieu
of his broad campaign hat. and 1oked
and sang his way along.
All Over the Train.
Train after train poured thru viii
lagos bearing the Americans. There
were boys squatting under huge guns
mounted on flat cars trying to keep
dry, but smiling. The nose of a horse
and the grinning face of a deughhoy
would be poked from the small Win
dow of a freight car at the same time.
For two days and nights these trains
rolled and bumped their way toward
Pieardy. 1t was a hard trip. But 1t
didn't faze the American fighters.
They Jumped out of their cars with a
whoop. Packs were swung into place.
Companies, battalions, regiments, fell
in. And with the railroad trip under
their belt they proceeded to hike
twenty, twenty-five or thirty miles
without turning a hair.
In the villages of the - valley,
they slept in mills. in barns. in vacant
store rooms-anywhere and every
where. They played and joshed about
their towns, awaiting orders. and all
the time becoming better primed for
the big fight.

executed as follows:
Dismukes, Couch and Mccain de-
termined to get German sniper from
a stronghold where he had been en-
dangering the Americans, made them
selves camouflaged suits and crossed
No Mans Land. Arriving at the strong
hold they found an officer and sew
eral men. Their first shots dropped
the officer and they got three more,
the others running up a communicate
ing trench.
The three dough boys then re-
treated. Two of them, arriving in the
American trenches. discovered that
their comrade was missing. They
organized a searching party and found
him.
They are now the pride of the unit.
