10 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1913 The Woman Makes the Home She makes it best who, looking after the culinary department, turns her back resolute ly upon unheal thful, or even suspicious, food accessories. She is economical; she knows that true economy docs not consist in the use of inferior meat, flour, or baking powder. She is an earnest advocate of home made, home baked food, and has proved the truth of the statements of the experts that the best cook ing in the world today is done with Royal Baking Powder. Marriage Is Without a Doubt the Greatest of All Human Institutions By HALL CA1NE. Author I LOOK UPON MARRIAGE AS THE GREATEST OF ALL HUMAN INSTITUTIONS. I THINK IT IS AN IMMENSE SUCCESS AND THAT WOMAN, NOT MAN. HAS MADE IT SO. WITHOUT IT THE HUMAN FAMILY WOULD FALL INTO SWIFT AND COM PLETE DISINTEGRATION. Whether marriage comes out tf the familj or the family out of marriage is a metaphysical question that does not trouble me. What I see iii the world is a mighty force that holds the children of men to gether as nothing else could. t I think MARRIAGE IIAS JUSTIFIED ITSELF, that the majority of marriages are happy oues and that, taken together, they constitute the mightiest factor in the welfare of humanity. My ex perience has been that this is TRUE ALL THE WORLD OVER and among all sorts and conditions of people, from people like Mr. Chevalier's "Old Dutch" to the jeople who wear coronets and the people who sit on thrones. But I also think that if marriage as an institution has been a blessing to the human family it baa not been by virtue of any legal contracts or religious sacramnts whatsoever, but solely by the opera tion of that BEAUTIFUL NATURAL LAW which Jesus de scribed when he spoke of a man leaving father and mother and cleav ing to his wife, and they, too, being one flesh whom God hath joined together and therefore no man might put asunder. WILLING TO FACE CHARGE NURSERYMEN WILL MEET R. E. Palmer, Local Rancher, Goes to 1 Portland and Meets Officers American Association to Convene in Portland Next June As the "guest" of Sheriff Johnson, R. E. Palmer, a real estate man and ra.ncb.er living near Summit, went to Portland the last of the week to give himself up to officers there to answer a charge of larceny by embezzlement preferred against him by George L. Madden of Jennings Lodge for whom Palmer sold a piece of property. Palmer has been sought for some time following the swearing out of a warrant by Madden. It is alleged that Palmer sold the property for Madden and from the proceeds took a $700 fee. This, because he was said to have no agent's credentials from Madden, waa recovered by Madden In a civil suit Palmer, it Is said, refused to pay the judgment and the warrant was secured as a result Sheriff Johnson called Palmer up a week ago and told him that orders to arrest him had come from Portland. Palmer said he would like to have a few days in which to arrange to get away. When be was ready he tele phoned to Sheriff Johnson that be was ready to start. lie was furnished with transportation to Portland and was met at the Union station there by a couple of detectives.

LOGGING BUSINESS STEADILY IMPROVES Judging from recent newspaper dis patches, the lumber industry, which constitutes one of Hood River county's most lucrative industries, has been showing a steady Improvement during the past few months. Owing to snow in the hills few of the logging camps in the Columbia River district will resume operations for a month or two. Some camps will re main inactive as far as logging goes, until the latter part of March. Log gers declare that the cost of getting out the material is so high during wet and cold weather that it does not pay even at the fair prices now being paid for logs. The supply of sawlogs In the river is lower at present than for many years at this period and there is dan ger of a shortage before driving is re sumed, even to the extent that pos sibly some of the mills may have to shut down for a few weeks. The situation is regarded favorable from the loggers' viewpoint, in that it has strengthened the market after two years of sluggishness, due to a light demand for lumber in the various mar kets. The lumber business has im proved steadily the past three months, however, and is now on a firm basis, so it is reported from all districts in the Pacific Northwest. In faoi. It is said that it has not been as firm as AVOID THE BIG RUSH FOR Day-Old Chicks By placing your orders early. Day -Old Chicks Breeding Stock EQQS FOR HATCHING FROM C. White Leghorns V. P. Rocks S.

ENTERTAINMENT BY CLUB MUCH ENJOYED One of the most pleasing ooclal af fairs of the season was held at the Commercial Club rooms on New Year's evening when the members of the Hood River Woman's Club gave the annual reception to their husbands, with Mrs. Jay P. Lucas in charge of the entertainment and Mrs. George R. Wilbur with the members of the social committee serving refreshments. A violin solo the Overture from Tannhuuser by Dr. H. M. Snarpe with Mrs. C. P. Hinrk'hg as accompanist was fully appreciated and an encore followed "Echoes from the Ball." A two-act play was presented in which Mrs. W. E. Hanson effectively" took the part of a suffragette enthus iast, who with some sympathizing friends neglected her sick husband and sixteen-year-old daughter. The latter was most charmingly protrayed by Mrs. G. A. Molden, much to the con sternation ot Hannah, the servant, as presented by Mrs. J. M. Schmeltzer, who acted the part so realistically that many of the guests were obliged to re sort to the same old subterfuges to hide tears because of their sympathy at her distress. After an hour spent in dancing, bil liards, card playing and social inter views a most delicious and dainty luncheon was served In the audience room during which Mrs. C. H. Cast ner, Mrs. B. F. Shoemaker, Mrs. John Booth and Misses Northey and Dav idson told of the many good things the club had done and were planning to do In the near future. Mrs. Jay P. Lucas was toast nils tress. Rev. II.
