cripple an institution that represented
so much of national good as did these
country newspapers.
The country press deserves well of
the people of the nation, and especially
of the people of the country commun-
tiles. Individually these ,paperss may
not be large in size as compared with
the city papers, but quantity is not the
measure of their value. They are
worth both directly and indirectly far
more than their subscription price.
For that price they bring to you each
week the.news of your friends and ac-
quaintances. To those who have left
the country home to go either to the
city or to some other country home,
the country newspaper is a welcome
weekly letter that keeps them in touch
those at home it carries the news of
their friends and neighbors. 1t records
the births and deaths, the marriages,
the comings and goingsI of those in
whom you are interested. 1t furnishes
the medium of publicity through which
work for a better and stronger com
munity is maintained. 1t voices the
consensus of opinion of the community
to the representatives in the halls of
the state and national legislators. 1t
is the paper Of, for and by the people
of the villages, the towns and the
small cities.
No country paper worthy of the
name ever seeks the support of the
people of its community on any other
ground than that of giving more than
full value for all that it receives.
You aid yourself, your community,
your state and the nation when you
support and read your own "Home
Town Paper"

Wiping Machine Becomes POPULAR

Some years ago X. II. Weber invent
ed machine for sizing and wiping ap-
pies. 1t was adapted more particularly
for polishing the fruit. Mr.. Weber
had a large number of his machines
manufactured and placed on the mar
ket. At that time, however, there
was no demand for the wipers, and the
manufacturer placed his surplus stock
in storage at warehouse at The
Dalles.
With the announcement of the Unit
ed States Bureau of Chemistry that
apples must be wiped free of spray de-
posits. which, it is declared, have
caused illness among eastern consum.
ers who have eaten California peafs.

They have been removed from their
storage and are now solving problems
of growers in different Northwestern

AIMS OF SEATTLE
FRUIT EXPOSITION

The Pacific Northwest Fruit Exposi-
tion is to be held at the Bell Street
terminal in Seattle from November Il
to 26 inclusive. The exposition is being
planned with threefold purpose.
Primarily, it is was celebration of
the bumper fruit crop this year, crop
which will aggregate 45 per cent or
more of the entire nations fruit pro-
duction for the year and which will
bring to the Pacific Northwest no less
than 500, 900. 600.
Secondly. the exposition will provide
an opportunity for the interchange of
ideas on the main problems of the in
dustry, production, transportation and
marketing. Transportation is an es-
pecially important question as it is in
a transitional stage. In the past, the
fruit crop has been moved almost sole
ly by rail now, for the first time in
history, the growers are turning at
tention to the water routes, and all
of them are in need of advice on this
new method. Lecturers will discuss
the various problems during the expos
ition.
The third purpose of the exposition
is the promotion of irrigation. If the
Pacific Northwest can make the re-
markable showing that it has in the
fruit industry in the last few years
with the comparatively small areas
now under irrigation, how much great
er would be the gain if all the poten-
tial orchard land were made available.
Never could a more propitious time
have been chosen for the exposition.
Not only has the. Pacific. Northeast had
a record-breaking crop. at time when
the rest of the country's production
has fallen to but fraction of it's for
mer volume. a fact which makes for
top prices ; but it comes coincidentally
with a marked reduction in the cost
of boxes, paper and labor. This means
that growers profits as we'll as crops
will be larger than ever before.

Hot Stuff Shoes Exhibited

j. X. Carson brought to town yester-
day pair of "hot stuff" shoes worn
during Highway paving operations by
one of the negro men engaged IN
spreading the hot bithulic surfacing.
The enormous shoes, in which the foot
of an ordinary man would be as insig-
nifcant as a mouse in an elephant s
corral. were improvised of old automo-
bile tires Their soles are of wooden
boards. Encrusted with layers of tar
and small bits of crushed rock, the
shoes weigh an approximate 10 pounds
each. They might be taken for models
of submarines.
The shoes, placed on exhibit in the
j. G. Vogt store, will be kept as relics
of the paving of the Columbia River
Highway. Mr.. Carson states that the
Kern Construction Co. has sent several
pairs of the shoes TO Portland for ex-
hibition purposes.

Relocation is Planned

Work will be started this week on
the relocation of The Dalles-California
highway south of The Dalles. Objec-
tion has been raised to the original
survey between The Dalles and Dufur
as it goes over the high ridges between
Three Mile and Eight Mile creeks. and
in some places attains grade of 6 per
cent.
The proposed new right of way will
nowhere be greater than per cent
and will follow a water level most of
the way to Dufur. 1t is proposed to
construct the road up Eight Mile
creek, from point just east of The
Dalles. thence joining the old road on
the ridge above the Eight Mile bridge.
A committee of WascO county business
men will go to Portland Monday to
meet with the State Highway Com
mission in a conference over the pro-
posed change.
