MEETING The Barrett Parent-Teacher Associa tion enjoyed a very unusual treat at its last meeting at the Barrett school. In the absence of both president and vice president C. D. Thompson presided. The matter of borne industrial work for the children was btought up and de cided against. Hermann O. Kresse brought out one of his Victor victrolas and played a number of much appreciated selections, both before and after a couple ol de lightful talks on thePanama-l'acific ex position by Truman Butler and Dr. J. M. Waugh. Truman Butler, in his interesting way, gave detailed descriptions of such bits of the expoxition as he thought of most interest to us. telling of the nat ural gateway to the grounds and how beautiful it has been made; so much so that no one seeing it can fail to be im pressed. The Oregon building, the Hood Kiver apple and Mr. Kavlin re ceived honorable mention. The new and wonderfully effective use of elec tricity in illuminating was told in de tail, especially its effect on the Tower of Jewels. Mr. Butler had been annouunced as speaker of the evening, but was obliged to share honors with Dr. Waugh. The former had prepared a paper, so he stated, making quite a fairy tale of his adventures, but his nerve failed him when he noted Dr. Waugh in the audi ence, for the doctor not only attended the exposition at the same time aa the Butlers, but went down and back on the same boat as did the Butlers, and because of some personal remarks made by Mr. Butler, Dr. Waugh was given a chance to defend himself and responded with a most interesting and instructive general talk on the fair, touching light iy on the government exhihit, which covers four and a half acres of ground. The color scheme was spoken of. Dr. Waugh explaining that the tone used throughout the exposition was one which does not cause the optic nerve fatigue, thereby saving considerable of the bodily exhaustion which is gener ally experienced on a sightseeing trip. He alluded to.this fair and the Panama canal, the opening of which is com memorated by the Panama-Pacific ex position, as showing the greatest con structive genius of the world, while the European war shows equally plain the world's greatest destructive genius. Both talks were thoroughlyenjoyed and we are glad we have among us those who not only can appreciate the things of interest at home and abroad, but who are so gifted that they can present them to us in such a way that we who hear can appreciate as well as those who see. We were much pleased with the num ber of guests from town and trust they may often find it convenient to meet with us. Communicated. A. F. ASS'N WILL CONSTRUCT GARAGE At a direct result of the opening of the Columbia river highway, plans have been'completed by the Apple Fair Association for the construction ol a large there atory building on the quar ter block lot at the corner 01 second street and Cascade avenue. The first two stories of tha structure will be oc cupied by G. W. Ford, of Portland, Ore., who will secure a five year lease on the building. The third story will be equipped as a large auditorium. The construction of the Apple Fair Association building has been placed in the hands of C. K. Marshall, vice pres ident of the association, who is geting prices from contractors and looking up thecost of special material to be used in the building. It ia announced that Mr. Ford will install a general machine shop and ac cessories, but that he will not handle any cars f for ssle, hoping thus to be able to receive for repair all kinds of machines without prejudice. A large business is expected from the nummerous automobiles that will travel to the city by way of the Co lumbia river highway. The proposed structure will be con veniently located for motoring tourists, being directly opposite the Hotel Ore gon and but a block from the Mount Hood hotel. Rubber Stamps AT THE GLACIER OFFICE POMONA GRANGE WILL MEET AT PARKDALE The Hood River County Pomona grange'will hold its next regular meet ing at Parkdale, Wednesday, August 11. An all day program is promised, as well aa an evening lecture and a social. Some of the statu officials of the'grange have been asked to be there and we have been informed that the Columbia river highway will assist in bringing them. A big grange dinner will also be an enjoyable attraction, as well as the many hand shakes and pleasant exchanges of friendship. Let us all enjoy at least one day's vacation from our work and try to make it possible for the farmer to enjoy his Bhare of this world's things, aa well as receive a just compensation for his products. By organized associ ation we may be able to do this and without it we are lost. Our committee appointed at out last Pomona grange to confer with the Mount Hood Railroad in regard to low ering freight rates will make a report that means something to our pocket books. If you have anything in view, upon whichyou desire united action by the farmers, bring it to our central or ganizution.lthe Pomona grange. Our resolution committee urges you to have your resolutions presented in writing. Don't say resolutions mean nothing. It means the expression of the people and it is these innumerable expressions that sooner or later bring the deisred results. Would it be pos sible to estimate the many times our members (have expressed themselves through resolutions, before they be came popular, on such questions as parcel post, initiative, referendum, re call, election of U. S. senators by di rect vote, woman surlTaRe, temperance and kindred public questions ejecting the interest of the farmer? We think not. So, if .you have a resolution em bodying a fundamental principle which will build up society, though it may yet be unpopular, it will bring out dis cussion and may cause each of us to investigate its merits. Stop working your muscles August 11 and work your brain just one day and watch the results. It may be a good investment. Press Committee. Underwood Ferry Still Uses Slough Bert Kent, who has purchased the Hood River-Underwood ferry system from Capt. O. D. Treiber, states that he is stlil able to land in the slough north of the O.-W. R. & N. depot. "We will land in the slough for the next two weeks," says Mr. Kent. OWENS HAS REFRIG ERATED BERRY TRACT E. Kj. Owens, a rancher, a portion of whose place is near the summit of Bald Butte, a local landmark the altitude of which is around 4,000 feet, has a straw berry tract that is refrigerated by na ture. When berry farmers of the val ley are busiest harvesting their crops, Mr. Owens is giving his vines their first cultivation. The canyons around the sky line berry tract are filled deep each winter with snow, and these snow banks, lasting until mid-summer form the natural refrigeration that retards the blossoming period of the fruit. The heavier strawberry shipments were over a month ago, the Apple Growers Association closed its straw berry season over a week ago, but Mr. Owens continues to harvest large, lus cious Clark Seedlings from the side of Bald Butte. A crate of the fine fruit was given J. K. Carson, city marshhal, last Saturday. MAYOR DUMBLE EN JOYS CALIFORNIA TRIP Mayor Dumble has returned from his visit in California enthusiastic over the P.-P. I. exposition. "1 enjoyed the trip south," says Dr. Dumble. "Nothing was more interest ing to me at the entire fair than the exhibit shown by Hood River in the 1'aluce of Horticulture. The big apple far surpasses anything there. The Walla Walla people have a poor imita tion of the big idea." Dr. Dumble says that the Oregon building is the most distinctive struc ture on the ground. "It is the only building oil' color, and on this account attracts attention, and the eastern peo ple, who are not familiar with big trees, arc simply astounded at the great columns." AT NEW ELECTRIC Today "The Crucible." The dainty mag netic star. Marguerite Clark, the star of Wililtlower, again appears in an entirely dilTerent play from her former one in which she surpasses the success attained by her in the 'Wildftower.' A famous critic says: "The audiences that smile with this captivating star in the happy role of 'Wlidofiwer' will sigh and sympathize with her in the more exacting characterization in Ihe Lruc ihle.' and at its termination Twill mar vel at her wide dramatic range and versatile power'. Admission 10 cents. Friday and Saturday "The Weird Nemesis." A Vctor two reel drama featuring Alan Forrest and Hazel Buckham, two new Universalites who cume with a reputaton for good productions. Wanted a Chaperon." A riot of laughs in the Nestor two reel comedy with Fiiilie Lyons, Lee Moran, Bill e Rhodes, Victoria Forde and Jack Dillon. Disguised as a motherly chaperon, young man visits chum's father at the beHch and creates a breach in the old man's heart which is healed only upon the arrival of the young man's youthful mother, a widow and then sweethearts, papa, the widow and everybody con cerned have one grand jamboree. Admission, 10 cents. Wednesday and Thursday Mary Pickford, "America's Sweet heart," and the world's foremost film actress, gladdens the heart and thrills the soul in her latest characterization, in the Famous Players Film Company's novel production of "Cinderella," the Paramount feature. Mary Pickford as Cinderella is charm grace and tenderness personified, and immortalized in a screen production of rare art and appeal. In the film ver sion there is more than the impersonal value of the character of the original and world famous story. Cinderella walks and breathes upon the screen as though it were a bewitching, dazzling ANNOUNCEMENT The following prices f. o. b. Detroit, effective Aug. 2, 1915: Ford Runabout .... $390.00 Ford Touring Car . . . $440.00 Ford Town Car .... $640.00 No speedometer included in this year's equipment, otherwise cars fully equipped There can be no assurance given against an advance in these prices at any time. We guarantee, however, that there will be no reduction in these prices prior to August 1, 1916. Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers On August 1, 1914, we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to $00 on each car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time speci fied, and profit-sharing checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realizing the uncertainly of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any announce ment of future profit-sharing until a later date. We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months and therefore can offer no profit-sharing" for cars delivered during August, September and October, 1915. Ford Motor Company DETROIT being incarnated by memory and ideal ized by the tender recollections of childhood. It may be said that Miss Pickford's two foremost previous triumphs on the screen have been "Tess of the Storm Country" and "Such Little Queen." In Tess she portrayed the role of the ragged squatter girl, and in the latter production she presented an interesting contrast by , 'appearing in royal garb and amid regal environment. But in the film version of Cinderella we see her in both, as the poor and wretched cinder-girl, and later as the truimphant and nappy princess, inus sne com bines her two greatest former imper sonations in the present production. Particular pains have been taken in the production of this feature, and its many impressive settings and beautiful costumes greatly enhance the artistic and dramatic value of the subject. Miss Pickfordis aided by a superbly chosen cast in making her characteris ation one that will substantially add to the popularity of the famous little star. As we follow her through the story, and see her change from the pa thetic little cinder-girl to the sovereign of all the domains, including the figur atively larger domain of Prince Charm ing's heart, we cannot help admitting that she is without a doubt "the world's greatest motion picture act ress." Wednesday and Thursday, August 11 and 12. The Paramout travel features, an in troduction to which was run last Fri day, will begin regularly next Monday and Tuesday and continue each week. Paramount pictures are considered the best in the country. I hey are run at such theatres as the National, the People's and the Star, in Portland, and the Liberty in Seattle. One of the finest moving picture houses in the world. The Strand, of New York city. uses the Paramount service, charging all the way from 25 to 50 cents per show. GEM PROGRAM TODAY P. D. Lambert, the new owner of the Gem, has been busy the past week renovating the playhouse. Painters and cleaners have been renewing the ap pearance of the fixtures and adding at tractive features. The front of the Gem has been repainted, and every effort has been made to give an effect of attractiveness. Manager Lambert announces that there will be five complete changes at the Gem each week. "I have had some difficulty in getting things lined up to suit me, he says, ' but from now on only the best pictures will be shown at a price of five and 10 cents." Each week's program at the Gem has been outlined aa follows: On Mondays and Tuesdays a Broad way star feature, a single reel drama and a good comedy. On every Wedues day and Thursday a William Fox pro duction will be secured, these Fox pictures cost a great deal more than the ordinary. Still the admission will remain the same, fox pictures are presented at the Star theatre in Port laud and have proven a big drawing card. On Fridays and Saturdays will be shown a Broadway star leature, a one reel drama and a Ham and Bud com edv. Manager Lambert has' succeeded in getting Charley Chaplin here to again cheer the Hood Kiver people. The in imitable comedian will be here on Fri day and Saturday, August 13 and 14. "I regret that I have not been able to woik to their fullest effect my traps and drums, says Mr. Lambert, but this will be worked out as soon as I can enlarge my orchestra pit. The William Fox production, "The Thief," written by Henry Bernstein, will be shown at the Gem today. The heroine, a young woman of weak character but with an infinite capacity for love, has centered her affections upon a man of social position. Without beauty or wealth she has no means of attracting his attention and so, in order to make herself desirable in bis eyes, she steals large sums of money from her friends with which she buys beau tiful clothes. Her peculations are dis covered and attribtued to a young man who, knowing the truth, remains silent to shield her. That very love, however, which at first led her astray has enno bled and strengthened her character, and in the wonderfully dramatic climax she confesses her guilt.
