CHAPTER viii.
THANK You, Uncle"

~APTAIN ELISHA had been pretty
well satisfied with the result Of
his visit to young Dunn at the lat
ter's office. Malcolm had surrendered,
perhaps not gracefully or uncondition-
ally, but he had surrendered, and the
ondition-secrecy-wa one which the
captain himself had suggested.
Captain Elisha found some solace
and forgetfulness Of the unpleasant
life he was leading In helping the
stricken Moriarty family. Annie, the
maid at the apartment, he swore to
secrecy. She must not tell Miss Caro-
line of his visits to her parents homo.
DR.. Henry also, though he could not
understand why, promised silence. Gar.

Care Of Kitchen Equipment.

American women as class have
not practiced economy to any extent
in the care of household equipment,
the states relations service Of the
department Of agriculture believes.
There generally has been sufficient
money to buy new article when it
was needed, or when there was wish
to buy, and the market has been well
supplied with new devices to tempt
the housewife. Now it is impossible
to purchase some of the simplest arti-
cles because they are not being manu-
factured. The housekeeper is sud-
denly confronted with the unusual
value of little things and the present
is the opportunity to acquire habits Of
thrift.
AreYou Guilty Of These MIsdemeanors7
The want of thought in the care
and use Of equipment is often the
cause of its short life. Some of the
apparently trif1ing mistakes which
cause utensils and tools to wear out
before they should are the following:
Contents Of saucepans and kettles
boiled until dry and the metal over
heated.
Handles, screws and fastenings Of
knives, forks, egg beaters, ETC., loos-
ened from having been left in hot
water.
Metal utensils put away wet. caus-
ing them to rust.
Covers put away wet with steam as
they are taken off the saucepan.
Brooms and brushes used continu-
ally on one side and worn to point.
Brooms allowed to stand on the
floor until their weight bends or
breaks the straw.
Glasses broken because the bottom
instead of the side is put into hot
water.
China dulled by washing with too
strong soapsuds.
Liquids spilled on rugs or polished
surfaces because the container was
too full.
Contents Of the saucepan boiled
over on the stove or in the oven be-
cause allowance was not made for the
expansion of liquids by heat.
Burners Of gas and oil stoves clog
ged and useless by burned food.
Rugs torn by having been held BY
the edge while shaking in cleaning.
Glazing Of porcelain and enameled
sinks. tubs and wash bowls scratched
and broken by cleaning with coarse
cleaning materials.
Finish of furniture marred by plac-
ing hot dishes, medicine bottles and
by spilling liquids on 1t.
Furniture cracks and parts loosened
because the oil bath and rub are not
applied regularly.
China broken in the refrigerator by
placing heavier dishes on 1t.
Dish towels scorched and stained
when used for oven cloths and to lift
hot saucepans from the stove.
Vanished and oiled woodwork
spoiled by washing with soap.
Springs in beds, couches and chairs
and other pieces Of furniture broken
by allowing children to jump and play
too roughly on them.

18TH CO. MEMBERS
NEED LAUNDRY BAGS

E. o. Blanchar has received letter
from B. B. Williams, first lieutenant
and now commanding officer of 18th
Co., who expresses a keen .apprecia-
ton for the aid of Hood River people.
"In behalf of the 18th Co.." writes
Lieut.. Williams, 81 wish to thank the
citizens of Hood River for their recent
gift of several rubber packs. These
are very useful in this region, and a
wonderful help to the men. This cli-
mate is so very wet that no form of
clothing except rubber or oilskins will
keep the boys dry.
''If the people of Hood River feel
like they would like to contribute any
thing further, will state here that
laundry bags will be very acceptable.
An old -four bag, with drawstring in
the top answers the purpose We ry well.
Small pillows are also great comfort
to your boys. In mentioning these
items | hope you understand that |
merely do so as suggestions in case the
people of Hood River feel like render
ing further assistance to the boys from
their town; and that their efforts may
be expended along lines that will pro-
duce the most good.
In closing his letter Lieut.. Williams
says: 81 find a fine, clean lot of
young men in 18th Co., and am proud
to e:their commanding officer"

PAY OF DRAFT
BOARDS is SET

Instead of being paid for their work
at the rate of 81 per hour, as has been
the case, draft boards are to be paid
on unit basis. That is, at certain
specified rate for every man to whom
questionnaire has been sent by the
board and whose final classification has
been made.
Thirty cents per man classified for
each board has been fixed as the rate
of compensation.
In ordering this change in the meth
cd of compensation, the provost mar
shal general has emphasized particu.
larly the fact that many board men,
bers, and in many cases entire boards,
are giving their services to the govern
ment without any compensation what
soever.
To these patriotic officials the gov
ernment has expressed its deep appre-
citation of their services.
But unfortunately, it is explained,
other board members have turned in
claims that are felt to be extravagant.
So high are these claims in the aggre-
gate that they total more money than
congress could be expected to appro-
pirate, or the people to approve, for
that purpose.
Any board member who desires to
give his services to the government
may still do so under the new regula-
tion. Furthermore, it is provided that
any board may, by unanimous vote,
arrange that one member, or two
members Of the board, may receive the
compensation. though in such case no
two members may receive more than
25 cents per man classified, or if only
one members is compensated, shah not
receive more than Is cents per man
classified.

GOOD NEWS FOR
ORCHARDISTS
APPLES MAY Be USED COLLATERAL
Stone, Back from Mission, Gets Letter
Indicating Favorable Action from
Federal Reserve Board

A. W. Stone, who returned Monday
night from Washington, ID. c., and
New York city, where he had been to
confer with officials of the Federal
Reserve Bank and other large banking
institutions in an effort to have stored
apples taken by the Federal Bank as
collateral just as stored wheat and
other such agricultural products, found
a letter from the Federal Reserve
Board indicating that his appeal will
be acted upon favorably.
'You are, therefore, advised that
there is no reaon, so far as the FEEDER.
al Reserve Board is concerned why
owners of apples should not receive
precisely the same consideration as any
other borrowers possessed of securities
copsidered by local banks to be ade-
quate and satisfactory, is a para
graph of the letter, dated January 5,
received by Mr.. Stone, who decided
last fall to take the matter directly to
Washington, when stored apples offered
by northwestern growers as collateral
were turned down by the Reserve
Bank.
ITO me. says Mr.. Stone, "this let
ter indicates that we will be permitted
to use our stored:apples freely as Sc
curity, and such ruling will have
wide and beneficial influence in all
northwestern apple districts and be Of
great assistance to local banks in
financing fruit growers.
While the general apple market has
been very poor for the past several
weeks, Mr.. Stone says it is the opinion
of dealers that the consumption of a
glut' of low-grade and frost-damaged
product will tend to work great i'm
provement.
''The export situation, however"
says Mr.. Stone, from all that l can
gather, is still very problematical. No
apples have been shipped as yet, and it
may be that we will not be permitted
to ship.any this year"
Mr.. Stone, while away, says that he
also conferred with members of the In
terstate Commerce Commission over
what effect the government control
would have on apple shipments. OFF,
cials, he says, do not anticipate any
change in the present situation.
Whether or not the rail lines will con-
tinue to push their demand for Is per
cent freight increase on apples or not
we do not know, but we will continue
to gather evidence to show that such
an advance would be calamity to the
fruit districts of the northwest"
Mr.. Stone while away visited three
days at his old home at Buffalo, N. Y,
He called on New York City friends
and financial people. While in Wash
ingtop he conferred with Congressman
Sinnott, whom he characterizes as one
of the best friesds the Hood River
valley has. and Major A. E. Clark,
who is now in the judge advocate
department. Major Clark was attor-
ney for the association in the litigation
brought last year by the Hood River
Orchards Co.
On his return Mr.. Stone was accom-
panied by his daughter, Miss Beatrice
Stone, who recently graduated from a
training school for kindergarten teach
ers at Freedonia, N. Y.

up reports, the custom of the Apple
Growers Association may be taken for
an example. In 1916. when growers Of
this agency delivered their fruit, they
received an advance of approximately
rs cents per box. This rs cents will
not be taken as part of the 1917 in
come, but the Association made fur
ther payments and rendered final ac-
counting during 1917, deducting from
the amount due sums owed by individ-
ual growers for supplies, boxes, etc.
This final statement received from
the sales agency, showing the net orch
ard. returns, may be turned in on a
report. During the fall of 1917 the
Association made an advance of 35
cents per box, more or less, as apples
were deliveredS No deductions for
boxes or other supplies may be made
against this 35 cents. Growers, how
ever, may deduct from it amounts paid
out for actual labor of picking, pack
ing and other expenses incidental to
the harvest of the fruit. The apple
grower, as in the case of any other
farmer or business man, is allowed as
deductions all interest and taxes paid
out during the year 1917. Further
deductions are granted on depreciation.
On all farm buildings three per cent
depreciation is granted; and 10 per
cent on farm implements. No deduc-
tions will be given for purchase of ma
chinery. Deductions, however, do at
tach for the purchase of necessary
small farm implements.
Suppose man has an orchard that
has pot come into bearing, will it be
permitted that the funds he expends on
such property be included in deduc-
tions? They will not. Nor will the
income from the property be included
as such in a report. Such eXpendi-
lures are considered in the light of an

not be taken into consideration for the

In case an orchard or other property
has reached the producing stage, and a
bad year brings about loss on the
property, then that loss may be shown
as deduction.
Daniel J. McGill, representing Mil.
ton A. Miller, Oregon internal tax coll
lector, left Tuesday. Mr.. McGill re-
ported that reports had been filed with
him by more than 40 Hood River citi-
Zens.

Because of shortage of labor,
adverse weather conditions and diff
Guilty in securing a pile driver, the
county has been delayed very much in
the work of replacing 100 foot span
of the high trestle approach to the
steel bridge across Hood river. The
bridge was washed out the week be-
fore Christmas, but for week the
continued high water of the stream
made repair work impossible. 1t is
estimated that the structure will not
be open to traffic before next Wednes-
day.
Because of the danger of the task
two skilled carpenters, employed in
succession as superintendent of the
work, have left the job. Commissioner
Hannum is now in active charge.
A rumor that firm of bridge con-
tractors approached the county court
following the washout, offering to
complete the replacement within six
days or make no charge for the task,
