CANTEEN GIVES
MANY APPLES
RED CROSS GIRLS MEET ALL TRAINS
Soldiers Have Received $500 Boxes The
Fruit Now Exhausted - Bell
Praises CO-wOrkers

Until fruit Of another crop ripens
soldiers passing through Hood River
WIN get no more apples from members
of the Canteen committee. that is,
when seven boxes of Newtowns, held
in storage are gone. j. II. Fredricy,
who has been in charge Of the distribu-
tion Of practically all of the $500 box.
es given out to service men in the past
six months. is holding the seven boxes
as treat for contingent of Oregon
men expected this week.
For the past month all surplus apple
stocks have been taken by the Canteen
committee. After search of the val
ley not another box of fruit can be
found, and the activities of the blue
veiled young women Red Cross greet
ers for the next few weeks will be lin.
tied to candies and cigarettes.
The success of our efforts in the
distributing fruit and delicacies to the
soldiers. says c. A Bell, rests upon
the coterie of enthusiastic women who
have made innumerable sacrifices in
meeting all trains. No contingent OF
troops has ever been overlooked and we
have reached most of the men who
have travelled through on detached OF
regular trains. Mr.. Fredricy has spent
his leisure moments for the past six
months hustling boxes of apples from
storage places down TO the O. w. K. 4
n baggage room. While off duty ht
might have been found, day and night,
sitting in the baggage room arranging
baskets of apples No fruit stand Tony
ever took greater pride in the display
Of his wares than has Mr.. Fredricy il
those apples given to the soldiers.
| The entire personnel of the Canteer
committee is as follows:
c. A. Bell, chairman; Miss Haze
Hollenbeck, secretary. Mrs. Alice Stal
maker, treasurer j. H. Fredricy, Mrs
l.. M. Bentley. Mrs. }. W. Ingalls,
Miss Rose Haas, Mrs. W. j. A. Baker

Miss Ellen McCurdy, Miss Marie Bart
mess, Miss Florence Carson. Miss Elz
abeth Carson, Miss Lydia Johnson
Miss Minnie Monner. Miss Kitty Bragg
Miss Florence Broslus, Miss Glady!
Reavis. Mrs. Dayton McLucas, anC
Mrs. Walter W. Shay.
Much of the fruit distributed to thu
soldiers has been contributed by oich
ardists. A large percentage of it. how
ever, has been purchased at regular
prices from individuals and local frui
sales agencies. Funds have been raiset
by dances and other similar functions
The committee is undecided as t
whether Strawberries will be distrib
uted to soldiers passing through tn
city. Because of the perishability 0
the fruit, it could only be used il
greeting contingents whose arrivals
here would be scheduled in advance
1t is likely that the committee vii
practice the distribution of cherrie
when that fruit ripens this summer

day it is rather for us to be dedicate
to he task, with increased devotion
for the honored dead on the western
front, that they shall not have died in

at the Mount Hood hotel, he made a
short talk in which he endorsed the
movement for the Loop Highway, as
suring the local people of his utmost
aid in Fastening work on the highway.

given here by returned older was
the intimate recital Monday night by
Horace r. Skinner, who went to
France with the First Gas Regiment.
Mr.. Skinner rode 10000 miles along
the western front the last few months
of the war as motorcycle dispatch

WICkHAM WINS HIS
BACK SALARY SUIT

Circuit Judge Fred W. Wilson Mon
day in the case of Jasper Wickham
versus Hood River County, in which
Mr.. Wickham is suing for alleged back
salary amounting to more than $1,000
overruled a demurrer interposed by
District Attorney A. J. Derby, the
demurrer alleging that the complaint
did not state facts sufficient for cause
of action. The disposal of the case in
this manner will end it, and Mr.. Wick
ham, it is stated, in case his claim is
not paid, will after a legal lapse of
time proceed to get judgment.
Following the decision by Judge
Wilson, District attorney Derby had
the alternative of appealing from the
decision to the county court or of FL
ing an answer to the complaint and
allowing the case to proceed to trial in
formal manner. He expressed a
preferment to allow the case to be dis
posed Of on the demurrer decision,
however.
The case hinged on the validity of
law initiated in 1914 by the Hood
River County Pomona Grange and
adopted by the citizens at the general
election of that year, which materially
decreased the salaries Of the assessor,
clerk, sheriff and Judge. The payment
of Mr.. Wickham' g clam will set a
precedent for remittance by the county
of similar back salaries Of the other
officers, the total amounting to another
approximate 81, 900.
AS recognition of the futiIty Of
fighting Mr.. Wlckham's claim, an
enabling bill, introduced in the last
Legislature by Senator Nickelsen, at
the instigation Of W. S. U'Ren, grange
representative, which gives counties
the power of initiating bills on matters
pertaining to county administration,
was cited in court.

busy Sure but we'll finish the
job.
Such was the sentiment Of Hood
River orchardlsts as gathered last
Thursday night by L. 7. Hewitt, dis
trict field manager of Hood River,
Wasco and Sherman counties for the
Victory Loan, present at conference
of Hood River committeeman. Despite
the busy season, for merchants as well
| as orchardists, all but three of the dis
trict captains for the county were
present. The absent three, prevented
from attending the meeting by un-
avoidable incidents, sent word that
their machinery, used in rolling up
oversubscriptions in Liberty Loans,
was intact and ready for service in the
Victory drive.
| In the Victory campaign Hood River
county will not endeaVor to go over
the top the first half day OF day, as
was the case in the last Liberty Loan.
we are all busy people here" said
K. E, Scott. executive secretary of
the loan organization, but as you all
know, it is the busy people who always
accomplish things. You need not have
any worries about what we are going
to do up here.
Truman Butler, chairman of the
committee. explained to his fellow
workers the plans of the local cam
paign. All citizens of the county will
receive letters lust before the drive
begins. asking for their subscriptions.
At the suggestion of +. o. Blanchar
subscribers will be given tentative
rating. Mr.. Blanchar explained that
such action would be needed as guide
to subscribers.
1t is anticipated that the letters will
bring in sufficient voluntary subscrip.
tions TO fiji the oounty's quota. In
ease soliciting is needed, machinery
will be ready for the work. 1t is con-
templated that the women Of the val.
ley, represented at last week S meet
ing by Mrs. Thomas Fagler, will
conduct the campaigns of solicitation
if they are needed. The women Of the
city and valley will aid the executive
secretary in the clerical work Of mail
ing the mass of letters to prospective
subscl ihers next week.
Mr. Hewitt said that state headquar-
ters was expecting much of his district
for the reason that their organizations
of Liberty Loan drives had been kept
intact.
y. l.. Pierson and f. W. Birge be-
leved that meetings in their districts
Were unnecessary, in that all residents
would attend the city meeting. F. A..
Massee stated that people Of Willow
Flat would attend the Odel meeting.
People from the south end of our
district, said G. A, Wuest, "wll go
to Odel. -
