GROWERS WANT MORE
FOR GULL APPLES

An evidence Of a widespread dis
satisfaction with prices paid for Gull
apples by the Hood River Apple Vine
gar Co., the Apple Growers A.socia
ton IS making an investigation that
may lead to by-products plant oper-
ated as an affiliation Of the shipping
concern.
"The price of S. per ton, paid by
the local vinegar and cider manufac-
turing concern just about pays the cost
Of picking up and delivering the Gull
product. says J, Il. Nunamaker. "'ln
fact, the point has been reached where
the growers have got to get more for
their call apples even if they have to
bulld new plant to get it, find
opinion pretty well formed among
growers. and | believe that $50, 600
could be raised tomorrow to finance a
new cider and vinegar plant.
The Apple Growers Association has
appointed committee, composed of
August Gugnard, S. G. Oxborrow and
d. l.. pierson, to investigate the by
products business. This committee
declares that the vinegar plant has
shipped as high as 80 carloads of apples
in from other districts, the fruit cost
ing approximately SIS laid down at
Hood River.
"lf the vinegar company can make
profits from apples at SIS per ton,
says Mr. Guignard, lit seems to me
that it is time that the grower was
getting more money per ton for what
ne has to sell.

NORTON REPLIES TO
GROWERS CRITICISM

Replying to criticism of growers
who are agitating increased prices for
Gull apples, citing instances of the cost
of SIS per ton for fruit shipped from
outside districts last year while the
local price was s., j. X. Norton, of
the Hood River Apple Vinegar Co.,
says that the cost of the imported ap-
Piles, f. o. b. shipping point, was the
same as that paid locally.
I'VE bought apples in North Yakima
for S. per ton, says Mr.. Norton,
and the grade of the fruit, including
everything below C-grade, was much
better than that obtainabe here. In
Hood River for the past several years
be have allowed growers to grade out
cooking and canning stock. 1t was
necessary for us to buy out of town
apples, IN order to keep our plant op-
Grating. Our prices here have been as
high as those Of any other district for
Gull apples
I'VE have increased our plant in
past years and another increase is now
in progress. Several years ago grow
ers complained when, because of our
limited facilities we were unable to
accept continued deliveries.

PARKINSON'S DESCRIPTION
OF AMERICA.

In Henry Cabot Lodges biogra-
ply of Washington we find an in
teresting account of America CIV
en- by one of Washington's contem-
poraries, certain Parkinson.
Parkinson was an Englishman who
had come to America to engage in
farming. But he failed and went
home to write a book on America.
According to him there was no good
land in America, and no possibility
of successful agriculture. The
horses were bad, the cattle were
bad, and sheep-raising was impossi-
BILE. There was no game, the fish
and oysters were poor and watery,
and no one could ever hope in this
wretched1y barren land for either
wealth or comfort. 1t was a coun-
try fit only for the reception Of con-
victs.
AS one reads such descriptions of
America is he not reminded of the
accounts he often reads of the con-
ditions of Palestine? Many an anti
Zionist has told us again and again
that Palestine is the most barren
and god-forsaken country in the
world. Of course the Palestine of
the native Arabs offers few attrac
+;o,c RI tho either, Of modern civil
lied country, just as America of the
primitive Indian did to the Parkin-
sons. But Palestine peopled by an
intelligent, energetic, ambitious
race, race that has accumulated
the experiences of centuries of CO.
operation with other civilized races,
will fool the gloomy pessimists just
as the United States has fooled the
Parkinsons.

realizing that they would be de-

Cracow, where they put up DIR.
Gross, former Deputy of the Aus
trian Reichsrath, an extremely
popular locally"
The opposing candidate to DR..
Gross was Mr.. Thon, who was elect
ed by vote of 1900 to 2,OOO The
elections demonstrated that the Or
thodox were the strongest Jewish
party, the populists second, the
Zionists third, the Poale-Zionists
fourth.
In addition to the elected deputies
there are five other Jewish men,
bers of the Diet. Two were elected
by the socialists, one in Warsaw, the
other in Przemysl. Three others
are hold-overs under the rule per-
hitting former deputies from the oc-
cupied provinces to retain their
seats without reelection.
Concerning the political parties in
Poland, Mr.. Deputy Thon said:
Unfortunately, they are all anti
semitic The Piastovtzi, who have
about 90. seats in the Diet, and
who are quite advanced on all ques-
tons of social reform, are at the ex-
IRENE Right when it comes to mat
tiers concerning the Jews. The Ma
tional Democrats, under Dmowski,
are pronounced anti-semites. 1t has
been reported that their attitude is
about to be modified. Let us wait
and see. Nor, do the Ludovtzi pop
ulists shine particularly in their
love for the Jews"
In bringing the interview to a
close, Deputy Thon expressed him
self optimistically concerning the
future relations between the Poles
and the Jews, saying:
81 believe that the Poles and the
Jews will find modus vivendi.
Life, which is stronger than all
theories, will compel them to find
it. Poland, redeemed, needs con-
slant effort and the preservation of
all her sons. We must come to an
agreement as speedily as possible.
Poland cannot wait. | am con-

"ASiiAAi Yin SSe~SN' w AietS OSS
Misrepresentation! Let me briefly
outline our demands, and then you
may determine for yourselves
whether we desire to encroach upon
the prerogatives of the Polish state.
There are three million Jews in
Poland, living in the cities mainly,
and united as communities. We pos
sess certain national characteristics,
which we have neither the right nor
the power to- abandon. We have
our religion, our language, our GUS
toms, our holidays. May any one
deny us the right to manage our
internal life in our own way?
"This is the plan of organization
we desire:
Each Jewish community shall
choose, in a democratic manner, it's
own council, which shall deal with
the following:
L. Organization of worship;
2. Schools, lecture courses. fibra-
ries, etc. The Polish school being
essentially Catholic, we desire
schools of our own. In these
school shall be taught the Polish
language, and in that language the
history and geography of Poland.
Other subjects may be taught in
Hebrew, which we regard as our ma
tional language.
3. Social development;
4. Philanthropic institutions
5. Organization of Jewish emigra-
ton to Palestine.
Our plan of organization contem-
plates, among other things, the Of
flee of supreme council, as the
leadership of the Jewish people, and
elected by National Jewish As
sembly, which shall deal with the
same questions as those designated
for the local councils, but in an all
embracive manner, and which shall
be charged, together with other
responsibilities, with the duty of
protecting the interests of Polish
Jewry We intend to demand that
the government recognize this ST.
preme council and name Secretary
of State for Jewish affairs.
ct must be clear from this state
ment that Our demands relate en-
tirely to internal organization" said

 It was during one of those big storms that makes the ship rock like cradle on the waves that dash higher and higher, until they seem to pound against the very sky, that one of the Hun U-Boats fired at the Utah, and it was discovered by the Yankee seamen that the danger was not far off. And they were right, because the course the Utah was taking had been torpedoed, and 1t was later found, that the battleship had been missed only by 50 yards
 The Utah received six $. o. s. sig nals, but they were Ignored, as Ii was decided on board the ship that the signals had probably come from U-Boats for decoys.
