SOLDIERS LETTER BOX

The following has been received by Mrs. M. E. Kendall from her son in France:
 October 3. 1918.
 Dear mother and all:-Well got some mail at last, 16 bags came in for the battalion today, and l got six, and Ralph only got one. They were dated from August the 25th to Sept. 9th Four were from you and the other were from E. and A, you can't imagine how glad was to get them. l haven't got the papers you sent yet Guess l will get them and the letters you wrote during June and July sNne time. soon. Did you get the letter l wrote while in England and also sent you picture of the on which l came over on. I haven't heard from since I come over Guess she is married by this time. Gee. they are having an air battle overhead. Now Ralph is trying to make me move over so he can get down in the trench too. l am lying in the trench writing. "My! This is a great life." if you don't weaken" The big guns keep the ground quivering all the time. They almost give me ear ache. Gee! didn't you hear that big shell burst It fell close to the kit chen, you can always tell when it is about chow time. Fritz always sends over a few big shells We'll two planes have fallen during the air battle but don't know which they are. But think they were Boche. We'll will stop for while and run up to the kitchen and get my chow and will finish after supper.
 Well, have had supper and will finish this letter. Fritz is rather lively tonight. He dropped several shells between our "palace' and the kitchen while was at supper, you ought to see us do the "dugout glide" when the shells began to pop around us. We have lots of fun laughing at one another duckins. Several batteries of our big guns arc right behind us and they shoot about 40 times to FritZ's one. so you can imagine how noisy it is. The avia- tors had big battle overhead yes terday eve-There was 50 planes en- l gagged ill it and air craft guns, ma- chine guns on the ground were pop | ing away at them too and of all the noise we had it. But the most thrilling think took place this after noon when Boche came over and shot down one of our balloons. Tne observers jumped out and came | down in a parachute and the balloon burned up.> Then the son of a gun turned his machine sun on us and here he come right over our heads. Oh! boys. bushes picked up when those bullets began to pepper around us. We turned air craft guns ma chine guns, pistols and rifles all loose on them and brought him l down He fell about kilometer from us and we made a break for him and by the time 1 got there I guess there were ten thousand French and American soldiers there
 They had to take him off to keer the Tanks from making souvenirs out of him. They tore the plane near uE for souvenirs before they could get them away, so you see that is how crazy we are. We'll it is too dark
 to write any more so l will finish i'll l the a. m.

TELEPHONE SERVICE
is UNDER FIRE

The monthly meeting of the Com
mercial club will be held next Monday
night at o clock. Among several is
sues that have been programmed for
discussion will be the present taxation
of Hood River county and the tele-
phone system
President Dabney in commenting on
the latter, made the following state
ment
"The complaint against the present
service of the local telephone company
is becoming almost universal. The
company lays the trouble to the close
proximity of the high power lines of
the Pacific Light < Power Company
to the telephone wires. The latter
company denies the responsibility.
Many have applied to the Public Ser
vice Commission for relief but still
the trouble continues unabated. The
Commercial club is going to endeavor
to get at the bottom of this and who
ever we find to be at fault. we are go
ing to arouse sufficient sentiment to
compel a remedy.
Ii. f. Davidson will lead in the dis
cussion of local taxation, which prom
ises to be a red hot issue before the
evening is over.

WOMEN ASKED NOT
TO BE SLACkERS

If Hood River is to keep pace with
the increasing demands of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, Hood River women will
have to give this important work more
serious consideration. Too many Of
them are doing Red Cross work as it
suits their convenience, or when there
is nothing else to interfere.
The country women are doing most
of the local work Seventy-fve per
cent of the workers at the workroom
in the Commercial club are from the
country, and they are busy women,
with families and war gardens. The
workroOms at Pine Grove, Odell and
Parkdale are likewise thronged on their
respective days.
The regular, dependable workers who
have been bearing the brunt of the
local Red Cross work for the past year
have never permitted anything but
sickness to interfere. They have felt
that the Red Cross was their part in
the war and that if anything was to be
sacrificed 1t would be their own time
and affairs. Some have been devoting
from one to three days week in order
that the allotted work might be turned
out on time.
For several months the Hood River
Chapter was ordered by division head.
quarters to produce three cases of hos.
pital garments and one case of surgical
dressings each month. The garments
were apportioned out among the vari-
Gus branches, but the surgical dress
ings had to be produced in the room at
the Commercial club, which was out
fitted specifically for this purpose. 1t
is one of the explicit rules of the Red
Cross that surgical dressings must be
made in sanitary rooms underithe di-
rect supervision of authorized and ex-
perienced instructors and inspectors.
The monthly allotment has recently
been changed by headquarters 50 that
Hood River now has to produce II
cases of surgical dressings and one case
of garments month. The dressings
especially specified for Hood River are
the most complicated in the entire list,

MOSIER ASSOCIATION
TO SELL DIRECT
From the Mosier Bulletin

After an affiiation of the past six
years, the board of directors of ths
M0sier Fruit Growers Association has
cancelled the cooperative selling agen-
|cy's contract with the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange, of Seattle.
Because of changed conditions,
says Manager r. d. Chatfeld, "our
board decided that we could best serve
our growers in the future by market
ing our crop Independently. Mosier
has won national reputation for the
high class Of her product. We will en-
deavor to maintain this reputation by
producing quality instead of quantity
of fruit. We expect tonnage of 100
cars the coming season"
Mr.. Chatfeld says indications at
present point to one of the best crops
the district has ever had. Weather
conditions have been excellent. Be-
cause of lack of precipitation at the
blossoming period, growers have found
it possible to eliminate one of the lime
sulfur sprays. The so-called pink spray
has been applied as an insurance
against fungus damage. Orchards at
present show practically no fungus.

BOND COMMITTEE
EXPRESSES THANKS

The executive committee of Hood Riv-
er county desires to express apprecia-
tion of the manner in which Hood Riv-
er county citizens responded to the
governments call for purchases Of
bonds of the Third Liberty Loan. The
action of Hood River county citizens
has been gratifying and inspiring. Our
bond subscriptions have surpassed eX-
pectations, and, considering the fact
that Hood River valleysshas received no
returns from war prosperity, the record
is remarkable.
The executive committee wishes to
thank all the loyal captains of district
canvassing teams and their efficient CO.
workers to express a sincere appreci-
alton to the musical talent of the diff
ferent communities and especially to
the members of the Liberty Loan dou-
ble quartet for substantial aid in stim-
ulating spirit Of patriotism to thank
the citizens of the city and valley who
were so generous in furnishing their
automobiles for Liberty campaign err

H. R. CANNERY
DOUBLES Size
NEW BUILDING NEARS COMPLETION
Concern Plans for Comfort of Workers
Citizens Invited to Visit Cannery
And Witness Operation

When their new factory annex,
concrete building, two stories 12X13
feet,i completed by H. Cramer, f.
Cloud and Ii. II. Larkln, owners of the
Hood River Canning Co, will be pre-
pared to handle the districts product
of canning berries and other fruits,
and in addition the Gamers will eX-
pand this season and pack a large
quantity of beans.
The new building will enable the
Gamers to double their annual output.
| The old two story concrete building, 50
x40 feet. will be used exclusively in
the operation of cappers, steamlng
watts and other machinery. The new
structure will be devoted to the prep
aration of berries and vegetables. 1t
will contain no steam apparatus or ma
chinery. The women workers will be
| segregated, plan that will make for
their comfort.
I'VE believe mutual benefits to our
selves and to our employees will accrue
from this plan, says Mr.. Larkln.
"Our help will be made more comfort
able, and their work will be all the
more satisfactory.
Both the canning buildings have
4 roofs of the saw tooth construction,
providing ventilation that keeps the
rooms cool even in dead of summer
In former seasons the canning concern
has packed strawberries and cherries
mainly, but "a large number OF cases Of
pears, apples, prunes, blackberries and
! lOganberries have been put up.

novation. Many orchardists have taken
advantage of the Gamers offer to Sc
cure bean seed, which is sold at Is
cents per pound, payment for same to
be deducted from the first delivery of
the green beans, and the valley S
string bean acreage thisiseason will be
several hundred per cent larger than
in any former year. The Gamers will
pack the Burpee' Stringless Greenpod
variety exclusively. Mr.. l4arkin says
that he expects further interest on
the part of growers.
The canning concern has adopted a
policy that is hoped will produce a
feeling among the people of the valley
that the cannery is permanent instl-
tuition. Orchardists and city men and
women are extended an invitation tc
visit the plant at any time. The can
ners request that visitors call especial
ly when the plant is in operation.
"We are here, says Mr.. Larkin,
to benefit ourselves and the Hood
River valley as whole. We want the
people to think of US in this way. We
want to be prepared to take care Of al
the canning products of the distict
and we want the cooperation of all OF
the citizens in making this possible. =
The cannery, provided the fruit sup
ply is as great as may be expected
will employ 200 women this summer.
