Grace 10; MiSdlrtown 0. II took
a lotta nerve to core out with that
but we're game enough to admit one
good licking. any way.
Grace certainly seemed 10 take a

love, the Parkside star. The way
they walked into the boys delivery
was little short OF criminal.
Talk about paradesl It looked
like a parade around the hassocks.
once the Grace aggregation got
started. The church boys hit Man
love almost at will.
The defeat came exceptionally
hard to the locals. after a string OF
seven straight victories. Well. the
best Of them get IL once in while.
Looks like the baseball in the ALI
Wilmington must have been OF an in
ferior brand II Manlove's pitching
was any example.
Eilison's playing was the lone
bright spot in the local teams de-
feat. Charley smacked two nice hits
and ran the bases like Ty Cobb. He
made Garvine look foolish behind
the bat.
Ewing. as umpire on the bases,
seemed to have his eyes a little
cooked. He missed several decisions
that weren't even close.
Some Of his decisions would have
made Jesse James look like a SUN
day school teacher.
Manlove allowed base runners to
take a 25-foot lead on several oc-
casions. They stole bases with ease.
No wonder Seq" quit.
Tubby Gallagher. for once in. his
life. maintained a discreet silence.
Not even one chirp came from the
bespectacled manager.
After the first six runs had been
scored the local boys seemed to lose
heart Something was lacking when
a ham pitcher like Rayne kept them
away from the pentagon.
The locals had a splendid chance
TO score in the sixth session with the
bases occupied and one out. but
'Tommie" vinyard ended the agony
by hitting into a double play.
Clinton Jolls broke into the game
in the ninth frame in center field.
Fortunately. no balls came to him TO
make him fall into a rut.
The breaking OF Middletown's win
ming streak causes us to burst forth
sorrowfully as follows:
Stranger than tales OF the great
World War,
Brought on by a Kaiser insanei
Stranger than causes that Wild Bill
fought for.
For which he was only TO blame;
Stranger than tales that we hear

HOW TO KILL A TOWN

A town, such as Hood River, may be
guaged by the retail business that it
does. The collection of retailers and
their activities keep alive the city S
civic, religious and similar institutions.
But satisfactory scope of retail bus
mess depends on the confidence that is
established between the retailer and
his patrons. Let this confidence be
shaken in some manner and the town
will suffer.
Appearances indicate that here in
Hood River at the present time we are
developing a breach between retail
merchants and patrons that will inev-
itably result in harm to the community
unless the breach is closed. The
patron, whether he be peeved at some
thing real or imaginary, should not
assume a ''don't give a damn" atti-
tude. In his indignant frame of mind
he may feel like seeing the local re-
taller bumped. 1t is a case of cutting
off his own nose to spite his face.
Every citizen of the city needs the
retail merchants here. Community
spirit and activity and the business
fabric of a section are builded on
foundation of confidence between re-
tailers and those with whom they deal. |
If those who buy from retail stores
and thus keep them alive develop
grievance, they will serve themselves
and the retail store, not by transferring
their purchases to other points and
holding aloof from the home town
merchant. Approach him individually
or collectively. Fight it out, if fight
is necessary, and then reach an under
standing that will reestablish conf
dence.

Portland Suspects Apple PeddIers

D. l.. Pierson, who with C. E.
Graves returned last week from Port
land where they peddled a truckIoad of
apples from house to house and to the
curbside trade, says the chief difficulty
experienced was in establishing a con-
fidence that they were bona fide
growers.
"Our trip was experimental, says
Mr.. Pierson, "but it proved to us that
the Portland housewives and their hus-
bands, too, are eager to get good cook
ing grade Hood River Newtowns at
the prevailing prices. We had trouble,
however, in approaching them because
of the many peddlers who have sold
inferior Gull apples, posing as Hood
River growers.

APPLE PRODUCTION
WILL COST LESS

The cost of producing box of ap.
pies during 1921 will show a decrease
of approximately rs per cent over 1926
costs. according to Chas. Fl. Castner.
Apple boxes were retailed to growers
last year at q to % cents each. A
price of l7and Is cents, it is expected,
will be established this year. The cost
of strawberry crates and pear boxes
shows similar decline.
Growers the past several years have
paid heavily for nitrate of soda, used
extensively here in fertilizing. The
nitrate cost growers $50 per ton last
year. The Apple Growers Association
this season is quoting nitrate to its
growers for $68 per ton. NO material
reductions are shown in miscible oil
sprays. Lime-sulphur and arsenate of
lead, however. show decline of about
10 per cent.
The orchardist's labor bill the past
several years has been heavy item.
The average daily wage during the
harvest last season was S.. During
the growing season common labor was
paid from 40 to so cents per hour. The
whole scale, it is stated, will be cut the
coming saeson at least Is per cent. No
reduction is shown in paper prices.
