Twenty-Five per cent of the harvest

-Four camps of boys, one at Oak Grove,
one at Dee and two in the Upper Val

YOUNG WOMEN TAKE
HODGESFOR BURGLAR

Arriving on an unexpected visit by
late train Saturday night, Sgt. W. L.
Hodges, of Fort Candy, hired an auto
mobile and was taken at once to his
Oak Grove ranch home. Mrs. Hodges
and children have moved to Astoria to
be near Sgt. Hodges and the latter
supposed his house was unoccupied.
The tired soldier was without keys,
but trying a window he made his way
into the dark house and proceeded at
once to a bedroom. Feeling his way
to bed he sat down. making ready TO
unlace his shoes. A scream followed.
He had sat on some one. The cry Of
the distressed young woman was aug
mented by shouts from all parts of the
house.
Sgt. Hodges father-in-law, Nj. 5.
Bird, resides in another residence on
the ranch. For the accommodation of
the party of girl berry pickers he had
allowed them the use of the Hodges
house.
The young women thought Sgt.
Hodges was burglar and were calling
for an officer. When they asked him
for an explanation, the owner of the
house in turn asked them to explain
their presence. When the situation
was finally comprehended by all par
ties Sgt Hodges journeyed on to the
home of his father-in-law.

INDIANS PROVE
GOOD SPENDERS

Local trades people welcome the
Warm Springs. Cello and The Dalles
Indians, many of whom journey here
each June to participate in the straw
berry harvest. The Reds are liberal
spenders. When the mornings pick is
over party of bucks or an aborigine
beau, accompanied by his gaily garbed
favorite little squaw, will hire an
automobile for the afternoon and ride
until the novelty of motoring wears
off. The business streets of the city
are favored by the Indians for their
motor trips. One buck, with we'll
filled purse, has been known to ride up
and down Oak street more than 80
times.
Typical of the liberality of pros
porous Redman was an incident in an
ice cream parlor recently. A sturdy
young buck was standing treats to his
best girl. The buck finally selected
pineapple ice cream soda as the choice
of what proved to be merely an appe-
tier. The squaw chose the same.
Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice
cream, and they even tried an asort-
ment of flavors of phosphates, followed
in leisurely succession. And when the
two left the boy bought the girl big
box of chocolate bonbons. The propri-
etor smiled in approval of this manner
of wooing.

REPAIRS TO MAIN
FINISHED SATURDAY

Repairs to the big main supplying
the city with million gallons of water
daily from fuckers spring, located six
miles southwest of the city were COM
pleted Saturday morning, and the ban
on irrigation was lifted after a five
day lapse. A stretch of 1000 feet of
the water main, made of wood-stave
pipe, was crushed Monday afternoon
of last week by the settling of a coun-
ty road fill across the Indian creek
gorge. While the lefty kept on hand
sufficient material for repairing several
sections of the pipe, the extensive
damage made it necessary for Supt.
Price to go to Portland for extra pi-
ping.
During the break the Heights section
of the city was without domestic wat
er part of each day. A head for fire
protection and supply of water for
domestic use in the lower city was
maintained from spring and reservoir
within the city limits. The Newton
cannerv, located on the Heights, suf
fered from the lack of water.

SUMMING UP EVIDENCE
Many Hood River People Have Been
Called as Witnesses

Week after week has been published
the testimony of Hood River people
kidney sufferers, backache victims
people who have endured many forms
of kidney. bladder or urinary disorders.
These witnesses have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills. All have given their en-
thusiastic approval. It's the same
everywhere. $4,000 American men and
women are publicly recommending
Doan's, always in the home papers.
Isn't it a wonderful, convincing mass
of proof? If you are sufferer your
verdict must be, "Try Doan's first"
Here's one more Hood River case.
E. U. Rodger, railroad brakeman, 1901
Columbia street, says: II haven't
had occasion to take Doan's Kidney
Pills for number of years, but,
speaking from past experience, |
found them to be just the thing for
backache. | took two boxes of Doan s
Kidney Pills when my back was hurt
ing and since then, haven't had to
use anything for backache or other
signs of kidney trouble"
Mr.. Rodger is only one of many
HOOu NlHer people VINO nave grdteIui-
ly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your backaches, if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy, ask distinctly for Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the same that Mr.. Rodger
had, the remedy backed by home testi-
mony. 60 cents at all stores. Foster

Bees Make Cough Syrup

W. W. Dakin has recently observed
his lees working in the blossoms of a
mass of horehound that grows along
the side of his own and neighbors
fences. He has just investigated the
quality of honey in supers filled by the
bees when they were active in the
horehound. He says he finds the
sweets favored delicately with the
herb.

APHIDS FOREWARN
OF COLD WINTER

Indians here from Warm Springs and
Cello take the mryiads of brown,
green and black aphids they have
found sucking the life from plants in
gardens adjoining the strawberry fields
in which they are assisting with the
harvest as forewarning of the APP
proach of severe winter. Since the
death of Indian George the prediction
cannot be confirmed by one in recog-
nized authority.
The aged and wise men Of the tribes
now here picking berries, however,
persist in their declarations that the
winter of 1888 will be characterized
by much need of heap big fire and
plenty of food. The warnings of the
Redmen are having a better effect here
toward securing an advance ordering
of winter fuel than the official advice
of the fuel administration.

Sour Stomach

This is a mild form of Indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If you
will eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stomach
without taking any medicine whatever.

Hood River County Grange,
Hood River, Ore,


Hood River, Ore,
Gentlemen: In reply to the COM
munication Of your committee, dated
May 27, 1918, | will say that have al.
ways been firm supporter of the mi
tiative and referendum, and will do
everything | can to maintain the same,
but to answer the question propounded
to me by your committee in the affirm.
ative would be to violate the spirit, if
not the letter, of the Corrupt Practices
Act, and believe that all our laws
should be observed with equal care, and
that it is just as important that the
Corrupt Practices Act should be strict
ly followed, as that the initiative and
referendum be preserved for the peo-
pie. | will abide with whatever the
courts decide on the salary question.
| believe the interest displayed by
the Pomona grange in the affairs of
our county is highly commendable. and
| am sorry that this is the only answer
that | can give to the question asked
by your committee.
Very truly yours.

A WORD FOR MOTHERS

1t is a grave mistake for mothers to
neglect their aches and pains and suffer
in silence-this only leads to chronic
sickness and often shortens life.
If work is firing, if your nerves are
excitable, if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, SCOTS Emulsion will
prove a wonderful strengthener.
1t possesses the very elements to
invigorate the blood, nourish the
nerves and build strength.

WAR MAY CUT down
CONCERTS IN PARKS
Duty May Give Bands Only
Two Spare Days.
Dx~o...

Concerts in the public parks this
summer may have to be curtailed on
account OF the war and confined to
those given by the Marine Band at
the Capitol grounds Wednesday after
moons and on the White House Ellipse
Saturday afternoons. So II seems
anyhow because of the great difficulty
Col. Ridley. engineer ofiicer in charge
OF public buildings and grounds, is
experiencing in arranging any addi-
tional concerts this year.
Owing to their constant employment
in military duties. none of the mill
tary bands in this vicinity are avail
able for concert purpose this year
This applies TO the bands at Washing
ton Barracks, Fort Myer. Camp
Meigs and the posts and stations on
the Potomac River.
Col Ridley accordingly is making
efforts to get the services Of the Ma
rine Band for concerts In some OF the
parks in addition to those In the
Capitol and White House grounds.
The proposition will be laid before
the Navy Department within a day
or so. II the plan goes through, the
Marine Band will perform in the
public parks three or four times
weekly instead OF only twice. The
seasons first concert will take place
on the Ellipse Saturday afternoon.

reason that our aforesaid allies will be owing us
so much money. For business reasons we shall
desire that our debtors be fat with prosperity.
But the most interesting feature of this platform,
prepared for the Indiana convention after con-
sultation with national Republican leaders, is the
declaration against further spread of federal own
ership.
Behind the tendency toward Federal ownership
are the big corporations themselves. Our govern
ment already controls and operates the railroads
and express companies. Uncle Sam is going to
have to commander mighty lot more of cor
porations, before this war ends. Operation and
control are the next step before ownership Every
method of war management in respect of the pub
lie utility corporations promotes Federal ownership
national necessity.
If experiments with government operation
and control-near-ownership-p to be a mighty
good thing, it is going to be very, very hard for
any political party to get the peoples consent to
a return to the old order of private 'mis-manage-
ment and exploitation of the public.
AS to distribution of wealth as a remedy for
societys ills, why, the whole world is being edu-
Gated to a more equitable distribution of wealth.
The wealthy of Great Britain standing in
come tax of over IS per cent, right now. President
Wilson declares that we've got to provide for enor
nous increases in running expenses by higher taxes
upon big business profits and the luxuries and abb
normal incomes of the wealthy: And there will be
increases on increases, if the continues for
long. The wage-earners OF this country receiv-
ing better pay than ever before in their careers
1t matters not why this is proposition to stop
the increasing tendency toward more equitable dis
tributon of wealth is simply proposition that
the wage-earners vote themselves lower wages
Such a proposition, we believe, would be a very
rotten plank in any party's platform, or later
