Twenty-seven thousand two hun

allows maintenance and support pay
as well as tuition and books.
In addition to the filing of compen-
sation and vocational training claims,
large number of applications for

Are You Supplying
Your Fair Share?

B. C. Forbes in Forbes Magazine:
What one thing does the world need
most today-apart, that is, from that
all-inclusive thing we call righteous
ness? Aren't you inclined to agree
with the poet that what this old world
needs is "just the art of being kind ?"
Every time | visit a factory or any
other large business concern, 1 find
myself trying to diagnose whether
the atmosphere is one Of kindness or
the reverse. And somehow, if there
is palpably lacking that spirit of kind
ness, / cannot help feeling that the
owners, of the executives, have fallen
short of achieving twenty-four-carat
success no matter how imposing the
financial balance sheet may be. Don't
these lines sum up, briefly yet COM
prehensively, what the world needs
today?
/ A little more kindness and a little
less creed;
(. A little more giving and little
less greed;
A little more smile and little less
frown;
A little less kicking a man when
he's down;
A little more 1--WE" and little less
"I;"
A little more laugh and a little less
cry;
A little more flowers on the path

And a fewer on graves at the end
of the strife.

1000 New
Claims Opened
ADMINISTRATIONS PLEDGE TO
CARE FOR ALL DISABLED SOL
DIERS BEING REDEEMED.

The nationwide cleanup campaign
conducted by the Veterans bureau for
the pr pose of locating and caring for
disabled veterans has been concluded.
This drive was .inaugurated immedi-
ately after the formation of the bu-
reau and was designed to carry out
the administration pledge that the
disabled veterans would be given ev-
cry assistance.
More than 175;000 ex-service men
were interviewed during this cam
paign and approximately 10000 new
claims were handled as result. The
number of claims filed indicate that
there were thousands of veterans
throughout the United States, partl-
cularly in the mountainous and rural
districts, who were unaware of the
benefits to which they were entitled
and uniformed as to the procedure OF
obtaining relief. It was largely on
the basis of these men for whom nc
claims had been filed that the charges
Of neglect of the disabled veterans
was based. Thousands Of these cases
would never have been brought to the

LITTLE RED STRING
MAILED BY PAPER

Little bills are easily forgotten.
While IN the aggregate money owing
for subscriptions soon reaches no mean
sum, from the view of the rural editor
and publisher, the individual debt is
comparatively small and the subscriber
often forgets it and allows it to lapse
indefinitely.
A local merchant, whose home was
formerly in New York state, and who
although he has resided here for two
decades, still reads each week with
keen interest his old home town paper,
received the other day a unique method
of refreshing the memory Of subscrib-
ers. Attached with little red sticker
was red string. The letter was as
follows:
''Do you remember how, when you
were young and your good folks sent
you down town after something, they
were likely to tie a string about your
thumb to make certain you would not
forget?
not?
'But-there's no reason why the
days of now should not be as happy as
it is just as certain that some of us are
liable to forget the little things of
today.
Because of that we are sending you
this little reminder-not to forget to
pay-the account due.
I'VE hope you enjoy the smile in our
letter and that we may have the pleas
ure OF hearing from you promptly"

GOLF COMMITTEE
MAKES STATEMENT

Although plans for the organization
of golf club here have been tenn
porarily dropped, members of a commit
tee working on the proposed club saw
they eventually hope to formulate
ways and means Of financing it. In
explaining their action to citizens who
had signed the roster the committee.
composed of A. w. Peters. Truman
Butler, E. o. Blanchar. C. N. Ravlin
and f. r. Pooley, have written as
fellows:
'Much has been written about the
tourist and scenic possibilities of the
| Hood River valley. We have talked of
the day when Hood River would be
the Pasadena of the Pacific Northwest.
AS to our natural resources and unde-
veloped assets along this line, there
can be no question. Every well in
formed tourist and lover of nature who
has visited the valley has unstinted
praise and expresses the opinion that
Hood River is destined some day to be
a mecca for the finest class of tourists
in America.
''The establishing of a golf club is
Just one step in the right direction.
The strides which this great out door
sport has taken in the United States in
the past 10 years is beyond the belief
of anyone who has not taken the
trouble to inform himself. Certain it
is that if any one of our bopes along
these lines is to be realized. a golf
course will have to come very early in
our program. The tourists who visit
California leave in the city of Los An
geles a million dollars a day. Just
a hundredth part of this amount would
exceed the entire returns to Hood
River valley for apples, pears and
strawberries for the year 1921.
''This is not the problem for a hand
ful of golf enthusiasts. 1t is the seri-
Gus business of the entire community.
Nor is it important what shall be the
outcome of this first movement to or
ganze golf club here. The import
ant thing is, what shall be the attitude
and policy of this entire community
with reference to the same and orderly
development of our possibilities. Shall
our light be kept under a bushel, or
will we let the world know that here in
little Hood River valley nature has be-
slowed on us wealth of grandeur and
beauty that is not eXcelled in all this |
earth. While we are at it let's go to |
the bottom of the matter and when it |
has been determined what is best for |
US and for the entire community, and |
not any small part of it, let's join
forces and go after it.

c. G. c. Makes Suggestions

The Oak Grove Corner Grocery Store
club has decided to place a battery OF
electric fans at Wind Mountain tC
furnish the State Highway Commission
a chinook whenever desired, not only
to clear the Columbia River Highway
but keep it open. During the months
of June, July and August sufficient hot
air from the North Bank Highway can
be stored under Wind Mountain to op-
crate the fans ali winter.
The service will be charged for at a
small percentage above cost, that a
fund may be provided to pay for bond
certificates that the Hood River trucks
and busses may be able to operate out
side the corporation limits. Biskof,
the Chicago finance wizard, has our
stocks and bonds listed. We expect to
pay liberal bonus for any suggestions
for the improvements on our plans and
operation, if adopted.
