PACKERS PLAN FOR
STANDARD CHARGES

Valley operators of apple packing
houses have decided to standarize
charges made for harvesting and pack
ing crops of neighbors. Where labor
is furnished by the packing house oper-
ator and where his supervision is nee
essary it was agreed by the packers,
at a meeting at the Commercial Club
Saturday afternoon, that actual cost
with an added Is per cent should be
charged. This rate will apply to pick
ing, grading and packing apples. If
the plans of the packers mature stand
ard prices will be made ION hauling
/ boxes to warehouses, transportation of
fruit loose in boxes from orchard and
the packed fruit and for loading cars.
A charge is contemplated to cover the
depreciation on warehouses and expen-
sive grading machinery. In most in
stances the packer purchases paper
and other supplies, and it is planned
that light percentage charge above
cost be added.
The matter Of insuring apples stored
in packing plants will be left to indi-
vidual grower owners.

UPPER VALLEY APPLE
GROWERS BUILDING

Orchardists of the Upper Valley, ae-
cording to K. J. Mclsaac, here Monday
on business. are engaged at present In
more extensive construction of packing
plants and warehouses than ever in any
former year. Big packing plants are
under construction by six of the dis.
trict's owners of large acreage. The
aggregate cost of new structures will
reach more than $40, 600 l.. C. Bald
win, contractor. with crew of SIX
men, will be kept busy until harvest is
at hand. The Mount Hood Milling Co.
operating sawmill in the Upper Val
ley, is unable to supply the demand for
lumber
The Upper Valley shipped approx.
mately 65, 600 boxes of apples last year.
Wit numerous young orchards reaching
bearing, the tonnage of this season Is
expected to exceed 100, coo boxes The
young orchards are in healthy condl-

GET RID OF |. W.
COWS, is PLEA

Finding the sale Of the herd of pure
bred cows brought here recently by K.
Y. Wright, agriculturst of the high
school, tagging growers backing Mr.
Wright in the project have stimulated
interest in the high class animals by
offering to accept as part payment
grade and scrub cows already owned
by orchardists. 1t was discovered that
numerous growers would purchase a
purebred COW, provided they could dis
pose of cows already owned.
Especially do we wish to rid the
community Of cows that are non-pro-
ductive," says Dr. Thrane, one of Mr..
Wright's hackers. "Mr. Wright has
correctly termed the non-productive
COW as an J. W. W. 1t was his idea in
bringing the herd of purebred Jerseys
here, not to profit by the deal, but to
provide orchardists with profitable
milch cows to take the place of i. W.

Paving Will Soon Be Under WAY

Paving o. the Columbia Highway be.
tween Hood River and Cascade Locks,
according to information gathered
from local Offices of the State High
way Department and contractors. will
begin within few days. Crews will
begin at the Cascade Locks end and
work this way. "Hot stuff, it is
said, will be poured the latter part Of
this week. 1t is believed that the %
mile stretch Of roadsWill be closed for
about three months.
Two paving plants will be installed
along the route, and three crews Of
men will be allotted each. Each crew,
working at amaXimum speed, can pave
mile of highway per day. Thus, at
maximum, six miles of the highway
may be paved in day

ed westward, great inconvenience. A
fence has been constructed across the
road at the west edge of the city at
the intersection Of Cascade avenue and
Oak street These streets run almost
parallel for considerable distance,
and the fence, Just west of the inter
section, is observed by the tourist for
nearly block before he reaches the
turnout Cascade avenue, the street
favored by cross-town foreign traffic,
is on lower level than the other
street, and view of the latter is shut
off by bushes. 1t was natural for mo-
tourists to stop at an intersection a
block away from the blockade fence,
and thus they failed to observe signs
giving directions Of the detour. The
city has eliminated this inconvenience
by placing signs at the end of the
bridge over Hood river, and the detour
route is blazed to the edge of the city.
The county had already properly signed
detour roads through the Frankton
district.

GIRL SCOUT MOVE
GROWING RAPIDLY
REPORTS SHOW
Many Young Ladies In the Country
Are Becoming Interested In Girl
Scout Movement Report hOws.

Upward of $4,000 girls betweenthe
ages OF 10 and Is are enrolled as Girl
Scouts, according to report furnish
ed by Juliette Low, and published by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton, Department of the Interior, Reg
istrations have been made at the rate
of about $50 per day since January l,
1919.
The work of the Girl Scouts is de-
scribed as follows in the report OF
Mrs. Low:
THE scope of Girl Scout work is
national; troops are organized In ev-
cry State except Utah, and they-are ac-
tive in the Territory of Hawaii. Girl
Scout troops are affiliated with the
work of schools, churches, settlement
houses, civic councils, community well
fare organizations, women's clubs,
etc, but the Girl Scouts organization
are nonsectarian and nonpolitical. A
girl may belong to other organizations
at the same time.
1.-THE average home is evolved by the
parents for their own comfort and
convenience. The schoolroom atmos-
phere and environment are created by
the personality of the teacher. The
| adolescent girl longs for place of her
very own, where she can be herself
and where she can do the things she
| wants to do. The Girl Scout troop
fulfllls this need, because 1t Is the
| girls own creation, founded and man
aged by her in cooperation with COM
rades of her own age"
The form of the laws, promise, and
the tests for scout rank were revised
by the National Council In January,
1919. At the opening Of every Girl
Scout troop meeting. there is a sim
pie ceremony. After the scouts salute
the flag of the United States and
pledge their allegiance, the captain
gives the crisp command:
Scouts give your promise"
They reply as follows:
ION my honor, ! will try to be true
to God and my country; to help 9th
ers at all times; to obey the Scout
laws"

HEED THE WARNING
Many Maysyille People Have Done So

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved. Weak
kidneys usually expel a dark, i'll
smelling urine, full of "brickdust"
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause dull
pain in the small of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There Is no better recon-
mended remedy.
