plavs Parkdale and this will be espe
tally exciting as the Odell boys lost the
game when they played at Parkdale,
and are resolved to win or die this
time. In the first game two of their
best players were out of the game,
having gone to White Salmon as subs.
This broke into the good teamwork and
took a good deal of pep out of the
team. The first team is matched with
Stevenson. This aggregation has a
promising team, noted for their fast
teamwork and their standing in the
league up to the present time is 100
per cent. However, they have played
only with White Salmon, from whom
they won by a large score.
The boys on the local first team are
in good condition and practicing hard
in the hone of getting another trv at
Cloldendale. Their team work is excel
lent and their coach is confident of vic
tory in the contest with Stevenson.

RED LETTER
DAY SUCCESS
(Continued From First Page)
But an omission of fruit would occa
sion a laugh.
So use four pounds of raisins, and cur
rants, just two
And one generous pound of citron will
do.
And to keep this rule free from cen
sure or fault
Add your own choice of flavoring,
and a large pinch of salt
Beat lightly together, place in a large
tin.
And with oven just right, set your
lovely cake in.
Bake slowly two hours or 'till its baked
through,
For raw inside, you know never would
do.
When cold, you may frost and 'twill
surely look line
And grace any table when ready to
dine.
And I'm sure you'll agree, that we've
- made no mistake
In using this rule for our club's birth
day cake.
Eight years we have struggled and
labored together
Sometimes in bright sunshine, some
times in dark weather.
But whether in sunshine, in clouds or
in rain, 1
Or whate'er may befall us, the moral
is plain
Our Clubs like this fruit cake in vari
ous ways.
There are elements here which we
surely should praise, -
And we'll win great respect here with
out the least doubt
If dissension and envy we will only
cast out.
And let us resolve ere the year runs
its length
That we'll stand by each other, for"In
union there's strength.
Sybil C. Lewis.
Those at the September table called
themselves the "Septemer Morns"
Beautifuly tinted leaves and a decid
edly novel decoration of ordinary veg
etables gave the table, which was pre
sided over by Mrs. W. H. McClain.who
also responded to the toast, "A Look
of Autumn Days."
Witches, ghosts and goblins ruled at
the table of October, where Mrs. G. A.
Molden was hostess. A weird spectre,
peering into the depths of a huge
pumpkin formed the centerpiece. Mrs.
J. W. Iugalls at this table asked to be
excused from a response Mrs Ingalls
declared that she had called at the
High School, only to find the professors
ana students all busily engaged in the
preparation of "Red Letter Day"
speeches AH lawyers, too, were writ
ing out toasts for January 81, and no
books were available at the library.
Mrs. J. P. Lucas, past president of
the club, who is now seriously ill at
her home, waa to have been a member
of the October birthday party. Ex
pressing deepest regret at her inabil
ity to attend the meeting, the entire
assemblage of women stood up at men
tion of her name. Souvenirs and pieces
of cake from all birthday tables were
sent to Mrs. Lucas.
A real fireplace was constructed as a
center piece for the November table,
and over the fire a little pot steamed
away merrily. The Thanksgiving idea
was predominant. "Despite the high
cost of living," said Mrs. A. D. Ram
say, hostess, who responded to the
toast, "we are going to have some
thing good to eat.
From the center of the December
table was reared a little Christmas
tree, and the spirit of the Christmas
tide prevailed. Mrs. Geo. F. Strana
han was hostess, and in her toast told
of the worldwide joy that Christmas
time brings. Mrs. Stranahan ended
hre talk by giving a horoscope of her
December born guests.
The novel program was the result of
months of work on the part of Mrs.
William Monroe, chairman of the com
mitee in charge of the day's program.
Other members were Mrs. A. C. Lofts,
Mrs. J. W. Sifton, Mrs. Alberta Steed,
Mrs. Frances Otten and Mrs. Harvey
Jones. Over 150 members of the club
participated in the event.
From the contributions of the mem
bers and from other sources the sum
of $72 was added to the scholarship
loan fund. One of the means of rais
ing money was provided by sale of a
huge 20 pound fruit cake, baked by
Mrs, William Stewart and Mrs. Mun
roe. The cake was baked Irom a rec
ipe of the late Mrs. E. L. Smith, Mrs.
Stewart's mother, who was a moving
spirit of the womans organization dur
ing her lifetime. Copies of this rec
ipe, incorporated in a toast rendered
by Mrs. A. G. Lewis, sold readily at
five cents each as a souvenir of the
day's meeting.
Five Hood River girls have been as
sisted in securing educations at insti

Dufur Needs Many Pinners
R. C. Stockdale, an official of the
Dufur Orchard Co., was here last week
endeavoring to eeeure pruners to work
in the company's 4,000 acre orchard
near Dufur. Mr. Stockdale says that
his company still has 3,000 of the big
tract remaining unpruned.
"We can use 150 pruners," he said.
The Dufur Orchard Company's tract is
the largest individual, one piece hold
ing of orchard property, planted to
trees, in Oregon. The huge orchard,
a show place of southern Wacso county,'
is one of the largest places devoted en
tirely to fruit in the Northwest.
Ferry Rates to be Reduced
Al. Sheplar, who with Commodore
O. C Dean, operates the Hood River
White Salmon ferry system, stated
that a material reduction would be
made the coming Spring in the rates
charged automobiles and tourists using
the ferry boats. The rate of $1 per
trio of machine, including chauffeur,
and 25 cents additional for each pass
enger, raised a howl of protest last
year from touring motorists. The fer
ry system made a special rate of six
passages, for car and four passengers,
at $5. But this was of benefit only to
local motorist.
LINCOLN'S NOMI-
ATION RECALLED

disappointment was very evident
boon, however, each with two of those
from other state attending him, one
on either side, the members of the
New York contingent were lifted bod
ily to their feet. After a moment they
broke into smil and it was moved
that the nomination be made unani
mous, and the New York delegation
lomea tne general shouting.
"Chicago went wild. It seemed that
every citizen of the state waa there to
shout for 'Old Abe., No 6ooner had
the result been announced than a crowd
of men appeared bearing black walnut
rails from Sangamon county, "rails
made by the future president himself.
Shouldering these, the Sangamon coun
ty men headed a monster parade. The
city of Chicago was crowded to the
limit Trainloads of Seward support
ers had come from New York. Previ
ous to the nomination a parade of these
men, several abreast and three miles
long, had marched through the streets
of Chicago.
1 have never seen such a campaign
as was waged in the state of Illinois
just before the general election at
which Lincoln was named president of
the united Mates. Men even forsook
their families to work in behalf of
their beloved leader. Both parties had
companies of boys and old men, 'wide
awakes' they were called, to light up
the gigantic parades. 1 he iightbear-
ers wore coats and hats of black oil
cloth and bore oil burning torches.
"Subsequent to the Chicago conven
tion, 1 attended the Illinois State Ice
publican Convention at Springfield.
All trains from every part of the state
were overcrowded and from the sur
rounding country farmers and their
entire fannies journeyed to the capital

broad fields outside the town. 1 ac

Kentuckian, who had entered business
at Galesburg, to Sprinfield. I had
been a fellow student of his son and
daughter at Lombard. We had been a
client at different times of Abraham
Lincoln, and he told me thai, he would
be honored to introduce me to the
future president He went early to
the Lincoln home and I was presented
by uol. Miles to Abraham Lincoln,
Mrs. Lincoln and their children. Lin
coin shook hands with me and immedi
atcly expressed his appreciation of i
reception at the hands of the Iximbard
students on the occasion of a debate
at Galesburg between himself and
Stephen A. Douglas. He had a great
many admirers among the Lombard
students, and at the time of the debate
the students had presented him with a
silken banner. He asked me about
the political situation in my district
and touched on general phases of the
coming election.
"We had gone to the Lincoln home
early in order to avoid the crowd.
While we were there people began to
arrive by the hundreds. Lincoln, in
order to pay his respects to the fast
inctaasing visitors again shook hands
with us, and we left, watching the
hordes pour into the house. The visit
ors even crowded into the pantry.
Thev climbed annle trees in the o-wr.
den and stripped the trees of green
fruit, which was taken away tor sou
venirs. The pickets were torn from
the fences around . the lawn.
"When I first saw Lincoln I thought
ne was tne nomeuest man i had ever
seen, but after he had begun to talk.
after his eyes lighted with that anima

his long rugged face and his huge

a connoence and love.

lorm reacnea Dy steps capable ot ac
comodating several men abreast from
both sides, Lincoln shook hands with
thousands. For the third time-that
day, as I passed over the platform with
the great audience, 1 shook the hand
of the great president.
"In the afternoon speaking of im
portance was held at the fair ground.
At least half a dozen stands had been
reared for the orators of the day
'Deacon' Bross, of the editorial staff of
the Chicago Tribune, presided at the
central stand. Wnile the orators were
warming up some one shouted, 'Old
Abe's coming.'
"The gates to the fair grounds were
thrown open and in drove a cariage in
which Lincoln was seated. It was
drawn by four horses in shining har
ncs.s Scarcely had the equippage
passed the gates when a great crowd
of men bore down upon it. The horses
were unhitched from the vehicle and 20
men took their places about the pole.
The carriage was drawn around the
fairground to the central stand. The
crowd, however, had become so dense
that it was impossible for Lincoln to
pass through the mass, and he was
lifted bodily, his long legs dangling,
and carried over the heads of his shout
ing admirers and placed on the speak
er's rostrum. When the cheering had
subsided he said, 'I understand that
you want to see me. I know that I
want to see you. ' After a few other
remarks he left the platform, and I
never again saw Abraham Lincoln, a
man admit' ed to the be the greatest of
Americans."
Mr Smith closed the interview with
a very beautiful tribute to Lincoln.
"Not long ago," he said, "I was
talking with a man about Lincoln.
'Oh,' he said, 'Lincoln is dead let's
discuss some man that is active and
alive today.' I replied:
" 'Abraham Lincoln is not dead. A
number cf years ago I was coming by
water rom Asbury Park, N. J., to
New York City. As we approached
the mouth of the harbor, I saw where
a tall column had been reared, crowned
by a representation of the Goddess of
Liberty, in her extended right hand she
holds the torch of Liberty, enlighten
ing the world. And then and there I
conjured up a monument more lofty
than that of the Italian artist, and
mine was crowned by the tall and
rugged figure of Abraham Licoln, and
there he stands a beacon, as it were,
lighting up by his life service, by his un
swerving fidelity to the vast trusts
imposed upon him, by his love of
country and of liberty, all of the na
tions of the earth now and forever."

The Four Leading in
Oregon
The 1916 Automobiles Registered in Oregon
places the four leading makes as follows:
FIRST-FORD - 4,394
SECOND-DODGE 822
THIRD-OVERLAND 807
FOURTH-BUICK - 720
Taking into consideration the number of different
makes of cars represented in this state, and that the
above figures total 6,743, and(that the total registra
tion for 1916 models was only 10,542, leaving ALL
other cars sold during the year of only 3,799, the
showing of the above four makes is remarkable.
