JUDGE TAFT PRAISES
HOOD RIVER APPLES

William Howard Taft won the love
of Hood River delegates TO the con-
gress of the League for Peace by his
recognition of the Hood River apple.
AS Judge Taft was reading the list
of members of committees, Just before
he started on the long platform of the
League. he reached the name of Mrs.
Chas. II. Castner, third from the top,
and her address was given as Hood
River. He paused and pondered over
the name Hood River Then he said .
''I wish Mrs. Castner had brought
some Of those good Hood River apples
You can only get good Hood River
apple thousand miles east of here"
An hour later. after Judge Taft had
finished and Mr.. Morgenthau was
ready to deliver an address, the latter
asked MIR. Taft if he couldn't give him
Hood River apple to brace HIM for a
start. Judge Taft replied that he
didn't even leave core.
Still later in the program, as Mrs.
Castner, started to the front Of the
stage for a talk, she handed Judge
Taft three perfect extra fancy New
towns. He arose Immediately and
spreading out the yellow. luscious
apples, cried out to the audience, "The
Hood River apples have arrived, all s
well. "
When Judge Taft boarded his car tc
start to California he found box of
fine apples placed there by the Hood
| River Commercial club.
Although il is not generally known,
Judge Taft eats apples exclusively foi
his lunch-H Hood River apples when.
ever they are available.

A COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF
THE TOLL OF WAR.

In another column is published an
ltemized list of the casualties from
all sources in the cxpeditionnry fore.
es of American soldiers. The list
IS necessarily incomplete, as other
casualties are still coming in.
The figures show that the total loss
es OF American soldiers overseas from
all causes, up to date, were 67,S1l.
Of this number, 3O,49S were killed in
action.
In the camps and hospitals in the
United States 32,165 soldiers died of
disease, n larger number, 1867 to be
exact, more than were killed in action
in France. The number dying of dis
ease in France is given at 1922
against the 32,165 in the United
States. The entire losses up TO date
from all causes of American soldiers
in France and this country, were less
than 100000 Those who did not go
over paid the toll along with their
brothers on the firing line We have
all been in the melting pot, and the
pot hasn't cooled off yet.

THE HINDENBURG LINE AND
OUR FALLEN HEROES.

"Old Glory" waves over Coblenz and
the Rhine,
Where lIindenburg had boastfully said
The "Boches" would all die on the fir
ing line,
And the doughboys would walk DER
their dead
His victorious army would bravely
resist
The invasion OF conquering foe,
The beautiful Rhine Valley to lay
waste,
This pleasure the doughboys must
forego,
The Hindenburg line could not be
broken,
The forts in its rear were unassailed
For the British and French had under
taken
To break them, and had disastrously
failed
Leaving thousands of their dead and
dying
On the banks of the sonmc and
Marine,
Where the Boche still stood defving
The boyonet thrust and battles storm
But there was yet force untried
To he drawn into this new nav of
death,
Who had not the lannon's roar dcfied
Nor worn the masks for life's breath
Youths whose pleasure had never been
restrained
Until their country called them to
arms
That liberty and freedom might be
reclaimed
And the world freed from Teuton harm
The good ships carried them safe
across
Der billowy waves--thru zones OF
submarines
And landed them safely with little
loss
Altho they were inexperienced marines
They We're given Il warm reception,
Bv the "poilus" and "tommies", grown
thin,
But on their smiling faces was nc
detection,
Because of victory staid or battles din
These youths from the land of liberty
Whose loyal souls were yet to be tried
Under General Persfing's fearless
scrutiny,
Where the valiant "piolus" and "tom-
mics" died.
Liberty hung trembling in the balance
AS our soldiers We're hurried to the
trenches;
The Boches checked their rapid adj
vance
And viewed with alarm their defences
Our soldiers were armed in n cause of
justice
And were defending human rights,
Against foe|w who was merciless;

POOR OLD COW-A PLEA.

poor old COW passed by the barn
IN other evening late, headed for some
where i'll Tazcwell. She limped in one
hindleg. Her bones stood out clear
and sharp, nearly cutting through the
skin. She was drawn and hollow as
tho she had eaten nothing for weeks.
With lowered head, sad, black eyes,
that seemed watcry, perhaps with
tears, If indeed cows shed tears, she
limped on. Her udder hung down,
long and limp. She was evidently of
good blood and breeding, and chad
seen better days, when she was in
her prime" and owned by better
man tor woman). She had "lost her
cud" for the reason that she had not
been furnished with cud material.
Poor old COW! She had better be
dead, and from all appearances then
soon would be. She li,npedFon around
the bend, vending her way to what
she was accustomed to call "home."
Her limp, empty uuder would be
stripped and she perhaps kicked and
berated for not giving down" her
milk, and left to stand out all night
without shelter or food or very little
until next morning, when she would
be again stripped and again "cuss-
ed and again start out again on her
rounds through the back allies, pick
ing up here and there Il wisp of wind
blown hay or straw, or Il dry stalk,
and be run by dogs and pelted with
stones by heartless boys and perhaps
be snatched up and driven away to
the, stray pen TO stand all day and
perhaps during the night in the cold
without food. Poor old cow
do not know who owaes her. Am
glad ! dent. don't want to know.
She looked as though she belonged
10 nobody, and ! gCcss she does.
II she had Il friend IN the world or
belonged 10 anybody that is ANYBODY
her looks didn't show it.
Now, why should anybody treat a
cow in that manner? Why should n
COW be in such fix in this community
where abundant feed can be had. 4
great man said: 81 would as soon mis-
treat woman as cow" If there is
an animal on the place that deserves
good treatment it is the family COW
She feeds the children with the only
food they can digest. Her work and
worth Is III evidence on the table three
times day. She pays her way, does
this fumily COW. She deserves. but
does not always receive, the highest
consideration ut the hands OF her own.
ers ] make a plea for the old COW.
Note--The time taken from other
work to write these lines and the
space and expense necessary to put
them IN type is not begrudged and
from the writer's standpoint, not
wasted, and n.ay the plea not be un-
awaiting. j

affairs.
You know that America has grown
on me that | am sorry to leave. With
more knowledge and understanding
my old affection for this country has
been made deeper. There will be with
me a strong desire to come back and
to meet again many friends.
AS far as we are concerned, let us
80 on working steadily to strengthen
this delightful bond of Franco Amer
lean friendship, than which there is
hardly anything dearer 10 me, and
which is such deep significance in the
present and in the future for the two
countries and for the welfare of the
world
My love to good old Virginia and to
our friends in Tazewcll and in other
places.
Cordially yours,
FRANCIS MONOD.
