OUR EAQD

If all the food We were to have the
coming year depended on our own
efforts don't you think We would be
doing ame tall hustling Just now
Let's consider it in that light and get
busY.a
Ii would be no difficult task, If we
will Just apply ourselves, to grow all
of the vegetables we can consume TINS
summer and next winter. Still some
untouched vacant lots may be seen IN
Hood River.
The rule may oe carried little FUR
ther. Hood River ranehers can go FAR
toward raising enough grain to supply
the valley. Every orchardist ought to
plant enough wheat for his own use.
Those with larger tracts may Talse q
surplus. That wheat and other cereals
may be grown successfully here was
demonstrated last year.
So hurry and prepare the soil foi

JOSEPH A. WILSON

News Of the death, last week, of
Joseph A. Wilson brought pang Of
regret and grief to the old time pio-
neers of Hood River.
No man ever did more for the devel-
opment of Hood River valley and the
fruit industry here. No man had more
faith in the community than Mr.. Viii.
son. He took the industry. even IN
the earliest days, very seriously, and
no levity concerning it was permissible
in his presence. Those of the valley
who never knew Mr.. Wilson. or the
pureness of his faith in their commun-
ity, have missed something.
While Mr.. Wilson had some peculiar
tiles, they redounded to his credit
rather than against him. He was a
clean. honorable gentleman, chivalrous
and kindly. The late W. W. Cotton,
beloved attorney, who passed away in
Portland last week made the following
ruling maxim Of his life.
''Concede to the other fellow the
things of right which are his, and then
you will be in position to ask for the
things of right that are yours.
Mr.. Wilson'S rule of life was some
what similar, and like the Portland at
torney, MIR. Wilson was fond of ming
ling with sincere young people. Of
learning their aspirations and helping
them to attain them In his death, all
young men who seek the fruits of life
in honest. earnest spirit, have lost a
helper, and Hood River valley lost a
true friend.

GETTING THE HACkN

The very plan of the approaching
Liberty Bond campaign will preclude
some of the Objectionable features of
the earlier drives. Their patriotism
appealed to, many of our citizens raj
lied to the call and perhaps. when
faced with the possibility of an under
subscription by their communities,
went beyond their bounds in making
subscriptions. We have heard Of num-
erous instances of such hysteria, a
hysteria behind which the Stacker re-
mained in hiding.
Under the system established for
the coming drive the Stacker will be
smoked out. While a call will be
made on everybody, the demand will
be within reason. If it appears reason
able that man or woman is not able
to subscribe for bond, he or she will
not be asked to subscribe. There will
be an even distribution, and the solic-
itation of canvassers will be commen.
surate with the ability of the citizen
asked to give.
1t is true that the new plans, in q
measure. savor of coercion. Certainly
they do, what else will suffice? You
may say; II don't like that form Of
asking me for subscription. | do not
have to be driven to patriotic duty.
If you are in this frame Of mind. Just
stop and consider that the government
is not after you at all. 1t is after the
man who has been permitting you to dc
it all. and you will be willing to helT
smoke out those dollar slackers, won't

JUDGE WILSON

1t has been pleasant privilege the
past two weeks for the citizens Of
Hood River to observe Judge Fred w.
WilDn on the circuit bench here.
Judge Wilson has long been we'll
known to the people Of Hood River
they have long respected him and non
ored him; and now one hears with fire.
quency expressions Of admiration.
Cases of the recent session of circuit
court have been peculiarly disagree
able ones. Judge Wilson, however,
has shown himself possessed not only
Of the formal legal knowledge, a ne
eessity for such judicial position, but
no 10 also possessed of an inherent
spirit of fsirness. His rulings. his sp-
meals and suggestions to attorneys
have gone far toward eliminating SEN
sational friction. Judge Wilson, al
ways at ease himself, has the faculty
Of making those who appear before
him feel also at ease, and yet his firm
ness. and quiet dignity, is barrier to
levity in his court.
And Judge Wilson. although he re-
spects the :preeepts and precedent of
judicial procedure, is bold enough
when occasion is serious enough for it.
to cut through the trivialties and de-
lays of red tape. In word. he APP
plies good common sense to rules OF
law.
To most of US ii was surprise that
Judge Wilson would be candidate at
the approaching MAY primaries. With.
out stopping to consider legal regula.
tions, we had thought his appointment
last June to be for the unexpired term
of the lamented Judge Bradshaw. But
we believe that the citizens of Hood
River will be glad to go to the polls
and express by their ballots their faith
in Judge Wilson, and approval of his
action on the bench.

START THE THRIFT HABIT

One of the greatest educational cam
paiens ever waged in the Hood River

and children have already learned the
lesson. Let every one start the habit
of avoiding unnecessary expenses TINS
