HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1917
STARS AND STRIPES NOW
WAVE OVER HERMISTON
With a very simple but impressive
ceremony Hermiston had a flag rais-
ing at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning.
A noie standing 71 feet above ground
had been erected Saturday and a flag
10x18 feet provided.
Promptly at 11 o’clock the entire
school marched down and formed in
lines on the east of the pole. The
Honor Guard was grouped on the west
At the foot of the pole stood B F.
Strohm, A. J. Upham and A. R Fisher,
the three veterans of the Civil war in
this vicinity At points convenient to
see and bear were a g odly number of
people present for the occasion. Rev.
Graham in a few well chosen and ap
propriate words called attention to the
reason for our living our national
colors and its significance.
As soon as the speaker had finished
Mrs. J. H. Strohm, as chairman of the
Red Cross, and Miss Vera Purdy, as
leader of the Honor Guard, stepped
forward bearing the flag and each
snapped a corner onto the rope and
then held it off the ground as it was
raised. Veterans Strohm, Upham and
Fisher ran the flag up and as the
slight breeze caught it and straighten
ed out the folds the Honor Guard and
school joined In singing "Star Spangled
Banner.” Following this came "The
Old Flag Never Touched the Ground.”
Three cheers for Old Glory and the
ceremony was finished.
HOW TO MAKE USE
OF "LEFT-OVERS”
Numerous palatable combinations of
two or more food materials which can
be prepared by the housewife with but
little trouble in themselves will supply
the major part of a well hosen mes
Such combinations should be used very
frequently to simplify and make more
economical the serving of a rational
diet for the family, say spécialiste of
the United States department of agri
culture. Combining "left overs” into
a palatable dish, for example, effects a
considerable saving in material, in
fuel, and in the labor of preparing
meals and cleaning cooking utensils
and dishes. Good use thus is made of
food which might otherwise be wasted
when one dish is prepared, cooked and
handled instead of several.
The character of anyone of the daily
meals should be determined by that of
the other meals that are served. A
light breakfast and a light supper or
luncheon for instance, usually make
desirable a heavier dinner In some
families the preference may be for a
hearty breakfast and dinner and a very
light supper, and so on through a con
siderable range of individual tastes
If the meal is to be a light one, the
combination dish, together with the
bread and butter which usually accom
pany American meals, may be all that
is wished. If the combination dish
forms the central part of a heartier
meal, it is in accordance with our
usual food customs to serve with It, in
addition to bread and butter, such food
as garden vegetaoles, fruits (fresh or
cooked) and simple desserts. Good
planning necessitates in the principal
meals of the day such variety as has
been suggested in order that all the
varied nutritive substances which the
body requires may be supplied.
The following are some suggestions
for a few of the many nuritious com
bination dishes which may be prepar
ed without too much trouble from
staple food materials and common left
overs, and for other foods which can
accompany them to make a -well
rounded meal. Every housekeeper, of
course, will bave a special liking for
certain dishes and combinations.
Some typical combination dishes:
Spaghetti or macaroni or rice oooked
with tomato, onion, or green pepper
and cheese, or cheese sauce, served
with—
«
White, graham, or whole wheat
bread and butter, and

AUTOMOBILE GIFT
OF CHURCH PEOPLE
Sunday morning Fathers Butler and
Killian of the Catholic church were
the recipients of a fine new Ford auto
mobile from the people of the four
churches, Hermiston, Umatilla, Stan
field and Echo. While not altogether
a surprise, they were not expecting
the car at this time. Some time ago
the church people told Father Buller
that as soon as they could do so an
auto would be presented. It was not
thought this could be done for several
months yet, but fuuds came in faster
than anticipated.
The car will be of great service to
Fathers Butler and Killian in their
work in this section because of the
large territory to be covered and the
gift is greatly appreciated.

baa kindly offered her home as a place
to meet and do whatever work comes
to hand. At present we have a dozen
surgeon robes to make.
Others will
join in this patriotic work. As Mrs.
Strohm explained It, “joining the Red
Cross, doea not entail going to the
front, unless you care to do so. To go
as a nurse will take two years special
training, but we can pay our dollar,
a year’s dues, and then work at home
making bandages, surgeons' robes, etc.
We can also help families who are in
need, whose fathers and brothers are
al the front.
We would like to see
every member of the Neighborhood
club a member of the Rod Cross. Pay
your dollar to Mrs. Strohm or Mrs. O.
G. Sapper and then come to Phipps’
bouae every Wednesday afternoon and
sew for the soldiers for they will need
your help. Mrs. Strohm told us If we
bad a battle right now and 1000 men
needed surgical treatment there are
not enough supplies on hand to dress
their wounds. Think of It. We have
been shipping these things to the war
ing nations, hence i be shortage. But
we must get to work now for our own
soldiers, so come join us and help.
Any who are not members can help
too but we would be glad to have you a
member. The men are als» asked to
join. If you are men of families or
for some other reason cannot go to the
front, you can help your country and
her protectors by joining the Red
Cross.
