"The men of the Navy swear by the
Red Cross" writes Arthur Lofts to
his father. "But for the handsome
packages distributed by the Red Cross
many of the navy boys would have had
a very slim Christmas. The gifts
have put new life into the fellows
Everybody has been cheerful since
Christmas morning. 3"
John w. Allen, member of 3rd Co.,
w. C. A, now stationed at Great
Falls, Mont. where they are guarding
the works of the Anaconda Copper Co.,
in letter to his father, w. ID. Allen,
says that he is sure no soldiers in the
United States have finer quarters than
those of the boys of his company.
1--WE are now housed" writes young
Allen, Sin the clubhouse of the mining
company. 1t is fine structure and
we have all of the accommodations
that anyone could desire. When off
duty we can lounge in the great library
and read. We have pool and billiard
tables and with fine baths no one need
forego the luxury of bath here. y
The Volunteer fire department, the
members of which remembered every
former fire laddies who is now in the
service with Christmas present, are
receiving grateful letters. The de-
partment now has IL members in the
different branches of the army and
navy.

/ kn - - Wyxa
Mcclure, who is now in the navy at
Norfolk, Va. 'It made me think of
the good old meetings we used to have
in the department.
Young MCGUIRE writes that Hood
River apples are selling at 10 cents a
piece at every Norfolk fruit stand.
The young navy man also writes that
he had just met nephew of A. G..
Long, Portland fire apparatussdealer,
member of the navy on visit in
Norfolk. Mr.. Longs nephew was a
member of the crew of an American
battleship that recently sank two Ger
man U.boats, according to the letter of
Mr.. Mcclure.
"We thought we were headed for the
sunny south, when we were scheduled
to journey to Texas" writes Edgar
Franz, who with Willard Young re-
Gently enlisted in the aviation corps at
Vancouver Barracks and who with his
chum is now at Camp Macarthur, Wa
co, Tex. ''It is far from warm and
sunny now. AS write this the water
freezes as fast as it runs from the hyd-
rants. Comparatively, Oregon weather
is mild.
please go and thank the Hood River
Red Cross women for their gift of fine
apples to our troop train, writes Ar
thur Kerr, son of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A.
Kerr, to his mother. perhaps those
apples meant more to me and John
Clarkson than they did to the other
fellows. But all of us appreciated the
gift"
Young Kerr and Young Clarkson are

McGILL DISAPPOINT.
ED IN REPORTS

Milton A. Miller's representative.
Daniel MeGill, is rather disappointed
by the small number of callers at the
court house making inquiries relative
to the income tax. Mr.. Miller would
very much regret later on to have
some of the taxpayers penalized for
failure to file his or her report on or
before March j. Mr.. McGill will be at
the court house until January Is and
sincerely hopes that the taxpayers will
not put off calling on him until the last
day or two; he would further suggest
that the callers have the total of their
income and expenses for 1917 figured
out as nearly as possible, as it will
help expedite preparing the report if
one is due.
Some so called expenses are invest
ments or capital and as such are taken
up through depreciation. In the case
of an orchardist the above would apply
to his spraying machine, erecting of
barns or warehouses, building of fumes
and bitches. On these there would be
an allowance of so much per year,
based on the life of the property.
A married man with three children
would not have to pay tax unless his
net income exceeded 81, 800, but would
nevertheless be required to file re-
turn if his income reached or exceeded
$1,000. If an apple grower held his
1916 crop over and sold it in 1917 along
with his 1917 crop, the entire receipts
would show as income for 1917 and the
only expense allowed would be that in
Cured during 1917. On account of the
exemption being lowered to $1,000 for
single man and So, 900 for a married
man it almost necessitates the keeping
of accounts by farmers and orchard
lists, so as to enable them at glance
to see whether they are subject to the
| income tax or not.

SIEVERKROPP Is AT
AN AUTO SCHOOL

II. F. j. Sieverkropp has enrolled in
Rahe's Automobile Training School in
Kansas City, Mo-, and will take a
thorough course in automobile mechan-
les. He is but one of several young
men in this section of the country who
are attending the school. Many who
are in the draft are taking advantage
of the delay in the second call by edu-
eating themselves for service in the
transport department of the army.
These young men have come to realize
that service in the transport depart
ment is just as noteworthy as service
In the trenches, and they can learn
truck driving and repairing in very
few weeks.
England already has 100. 900 trucks in
army service and this country will need
at least as many. This ellis for several
hundred thousand auto experts and it
is a serious problem to know where
these trained men are coming from.
Mr.. Rahe is showing his patriotism
by enrolling students now at special
reduced tuition, and where a man is
called to service before completing the
course of training he is refunded the
tuition paid. Hundreds of Mr.. Rahe's
graduates are now holding responsible
positions in the army, and thousands
in the commercial world.
Drafted men who wish to take the
special training are transferred to the
Kansas City district by applying to the
local board, and the time of call to SER
vice is neither delayed nor advanced
by the change.

SIRENS OF THE SEA
COMING TO GEM

'tSirens of the Sea, six reel Jew
ell special, will be shown at the Gem
theatre Monday and Tuesday, January
IA and Is. The show is very spectacu-
lar and appealing and in many respects
is better than the million dollar Fcx
production, ''Neptune's Daughters, "
in which Annette Kellerman was
starred.
Sirens of the Sea was filmed on the
beaches of southern California, and
Louise Lovely was the star.
''1t's an enchanted island and over
yonder sit Lorelei and her sirens. De.
struction or not, I'm going to Lorelei, I"
exclaims the handsome young Yachts
man, Gerald Waldron, to Hartley Boyce
as they sail past rock island,
where Sybil. an exquisitely handsome
maiden, and her girl companion, all
donned in sea weed in lieu of bathing
suits, are playing ukeleles and dancing
about the beach. The girls seek hasty
shelter as the youngmen make land
ing and rush after them.
Gerald and Hartley both become en-
amoured of the golden haired Sybil.
Trouble ensues when Julia, captivat-
ing brunette, consumed with jealousy,
conspires with Hartley for the undoing
of Sybil. who, to elude Hartley's des.
perate pursuit, throws herself into the
sea. Gerald rows about all night and
falls asleep at dawn, dreaming of Sybil
as Lorelei. A thrilling drama based on
the Lorelei legend is then visualized on
the screen with picturesque settings
and magnificent water witch scenes of
dazzling splendor, the sea swarming
with huge ensemble of alluring water
sprites performing sensational swim
ming and diving feats that have never
been surpassed.

DAYTON MERCHANTS
ARE HOOVERIZING

H. G. Moe, of Dayton, Wash, who
was here last week visiting the family
of his brother, A. d. Moe, says that
rules of Hooverizing are being rigidly
adhered to by all of the merchants Of
the eastern Washington city.
dayton, says Mr.. Moe, "is a
town of two sections, one known as
the railroad section. Formerly the
railroad part of the town had two de-
liveries each day, one in the morning
and one at night. In the other section
of town two deliveries were made by
merchants each morning and after
noon. Now, because of the shortage of
help, only two deliveries are made for
the entire town, one for each section.
Furthermore, the stores open at
nine o'clock each morning and close
promptly at six p. m. Saturdays in
cluded. By this means a large amount
of fuel is saved, and the merchants are
given time fol-. r..the care of gardens and
other necessary work around home.
The new plans are working out we'll. "

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

Despite the fact that Hood river has
been at flood stage since the New Year
began, four fishing licenses have been
sold by the county clerks office. h.
J. Middleswart, bought the first Ii
cense. The other three disciples of Sir
Isaac Walton, who believe in prepared
ness are j. w. Wakamae, T.W. Beatty
and H. M. Scearce. Alva L. Day is
the county's first hunter to buy 1918
license.
William Stewart, past master with
rod and reel, had an unusual expert
ence last year down on the Mckenzie
river. One evening, just at dusk, as
Mr.. Stewart was making cast, he
thought he felt tug on the end of his
line. When it hit the water there was
splash. The boatman cried, you've
got him." Mr.. Stewart lifted his
catch in. 1t was big bat. The bird
animal grasped the old boatman's leg
with his sharp talons, and that individ-
ual let out a frightened whoop, not
knowing what Mr.. Stewart had caught.
This catch wassrepeated the next af-
ternoon at dusk.
American moleskins, particularly
those from the Pacific Northwest, are
superior to the moleskins of Europe
which largely make up the world sup
ply for industrial uses, according to
biologists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. 1t should be
profitable, therefore, the biologists de-
clare, to trap these animals for their
pelts and so establish a new American
fur industry. This is true particularly
in the Northwest, whefe the animals
are large and plentiful. and where it is
often desirable to keep their numbers
down to prevent injury to fields and
lawns. Such new industry should be
especially desirable for farmers boys
as side issue, it is pointed out.
The habits of American moles are
described and methods of capturing
them ard treating and marketing their
skins are outlined in farmers bulle-
tin, Trapping Moles and Utilizing
Their SKINS recently issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The publication also offers sug-
gestions for. the tanning of the pelts SO
that they may be made locally into
women's neckpieces, muffs and coats.

SUNDAY RANCH PRO-
DUCES Big HOG

While Billy Sunday is preaching al
Washington, d. c., to senators and
representatives and alternately pound
ing the lines of satan and Kaiser Bill,
his Hood River valley ranch, in charge
of his half brother, l.. C. Heller, has
been dedicated to the aid of Hoover.
Hogs, hogs and more hogs, was the
recommendation the evangelist left
with Mr.. Heller on his departure for
Los Angeles last September. "You
just go to it, Ed.
And Mr.. Heller has gone to it. The
pig sites of the Odell ranch are numer-
Gus and substantial. Mr.. Heizer has
marketed number of swine lately +,
but none of them brought him into the
limelight until he hitched up the big
Sunday truck Monday morning and
rolled to town with pig that tipped
the scales at 600. He received IA cents
per pound for the fat animal and the
check he received was $85. 26.
W. J. Filz, who purchased the big
hog fattened on the Sunday ranch,
says its the largest he has ever bought
in Hood River.

of war savings stamps have increased
rapidly during the past week. While
the purchases here for the month OF
