Benson, to Join the party, while in addition he enter tained his guests at the Benson Hotel, which is owned by his rival. Following the dinner, Mr. Benson did some advertising work on- behalf of the division by presenting every Red Cross worker at the Liberty Temple, 150 in all, with magnificent red roses. Rev. W. W.

DANCE CENSORSHIP DUE GOVERNMENT TO SEE "HOPS" ARE CONDUCTED PROPERLY. Good77unps In me farters Military Police to Be at All Italia With Authority to Call Forth Sol diers Participating. On behalf of the Government, strict oversight of public dancehalls and pavilions in and about Portland is im mediately to be made effective. The move is in accord with the general Army policy of protecting the men in cantonments and camps from moral taint. Steps for the Government censorship of dances have been directed by John E. McCourt, of the War Department commission on training camp activities, and David Robinson, special attorney for the Government. Managers of the various public resorts in this irame dlate section were told of the plans at a conference held Thursday. So long as the public dances are properly conducted there will ba no interference, but transgressions of the rules promulgated will result, first, in the withdrawal of soldiers from the place, and. in more flagrant cases, in the closing oi tne nail. Details of military police from Van couver Barracks will hereafter be sta tioned before the amusement places where dancing is conducted. These men will stand ready to quell any dls turbances, whether created by soldiers or civilians. It will be their duty also to call forth all soldiers if question able characters or actions are dls covered at a dance. CHERRIES made their first appear ance last week. This week it is gooseberries. Red currants are expect ed next. The gooseberries are of locsl rais ing and are offered at 15 and 20 cents a pound.
