Y lion in Portland atop at the modern HOOD RIVER IS PREPARING ALL INTERESTS BACK FOOD PLANS City and Valley Folk do Their Bit Toward Feeding the World Brum baugh's Talk Patriotic All the people of the city and valley of Hood River evidence an intense co operation in carrying out the plana in augurated here the first of last week by the O.-VV. R. & N. Co. and the Ore gon Agricultural College. And the Apple Valley residents are doing more than talk. Rarely today can a traveler over the Hood River streets rind a va cant lot that is not under cutlivation. With a patriotic fervor, the ranchers of the valley are studying the situation and are engaged on plans for the in creased acreage of such staples as beans and potatoes. It is likely that the food production of the Hood River valley the coming spring and summer will he increased five fold. While the sudden spring shower tended to limit the attendance, the valley never had two more enthusiastic meetings than were held last Frday night, one at Pine Grove and the other in this city at Library hall under the auspices of the food preparedness cam paign committee, composed of Mrs. L. Clark. Mrs. J. K. Carson, J. O. McLaughlin, Dr. J. W. Sifton and C. C. Cuddeford. Mrs. Clark presided. Both meetings were attended by Rev. E. H. Longbrake and County School Superintendent Gibson. The first sneaker on 'the local Dro- gram, Rev. Longbrake, gave the meet ing a "pep" that lasted until the hall was vacated. "I have never been more enthused over an idea, said Mr. Longbrake, 'than by this of food preparedness, n mv mind it has given us a solution of the boy problem. How many boys of the country appear at their homes just to sit down and eat the meals pro vided. It is time that they considered where the food came from and how it is provided. This movement is enlist- ng their cooperation. There will be no more idleness, jney nave oeen given an opportunity to aid in plans of T. I). Culkins, who has had 20 years of experience in gardening in the Hood Kiver valley, was present at the n- dny night meeting, and volunteered his service in directing gardening or doing whatever else he could toward bringing to success the general iiood Kiver plans. Mr. Calkins otters to co operate with the Agricultural College in furnishing charts that will be of nestimable value to local gardeners. The fears of those who have ex pressed an opinion that Hood River may not have sumcient water to irri gate all the gardens that will be lamed -were allayed oy my water Superintendent Price. We will have water a plenty, said Mr. Price, "provided we conserve what we have. Our spring affords us with 1,000,000 gallons of water a day. We have in Hood River approximately 2,500 people. You see that we have llenty oi water, u we save it. bui too many of the patrons of the Hood River water system have through care lessness been allowing the water to go to waste." Mr. Price announced plans of the city to inspect the water system ot every home in town. He stated that all wastage would oe stopped, ana as sured his hearers that water a plenty would be provided for irrigation, if the users would only co-operate wnn ine lepartment. Prof. McLaughlin told or me work that has been done by the agricultural lass of the high school. Lvery avail able bit of cultivable ground has been listed, and charts have been prepared. A survey of what Hood River will be able to produce has been made by the agricultural students. Mr. McLaughlin told of the possible work that could be done in outlying rural districts. "We ' want a similar committee in everv district." he said, similar to that m the city, uur local committee is not one in authority over other community committees. We have simrjrv endeavored to get the ceneral nlans started." Hood Kiver people nave never nearo more Datriotic address than that .- - , , . . delivered by Prof. Brumbaigh, of the Oregon Agricultural College, chief speaker at the local meeting last Fri- lav niirht. "Although I am of pure Teutonic blood," said the Agricultural College man. "1 cannot brine mvser to recog nize or feel a particle of sympathy for the despotism that now noius sway in Germany. Mv parents, as well as my self were born in America, but because of mv German ancestry 1 feel that I have a right to speak as I am going to on the great crisis uiai uermuny is caus.nff the world to confront today "We are facing an unparallelled sit uation. Battle is no longer a question of sentiment. We must measure our selves and take measure of our foe, I wonder if we have correctly done either. For the younger generation it is almost impossible to conceive oi a war. The old men and women who remember the Civil War heed the cry of the times more readily than we vnunirer neonle. "Although the cradle place of liberty was among the Teutonic peoples, we see those verv ueooles today victims of the most despotic goverment that ever existed. The German government is no longer a people but an army tinder the helm of the Kaiser, the most desootic organization in all history, desnotism unlike anvthing we have ever considered, for it has arisen not out of the ignorance of the ruled but because of the application of scientific education. "Todav we are facing the proposi tion of losing the power of international law and natural law on which the for mer rules are based. These rules cease to exist for the Germans, who have annlied organized efficiency to all their activities. It is truly said, and on eood authority, that the German nation has forgotten God. Democracy is at stake. If we of America believe that a God is reigning, then we must recognize our moral obligation to join with tne allies in crusntng wia ur man desDotism. "We are confronted here in America today with the task of saving the life of Eurorje. Their surplus of foods have all been used up. It is up to this countrv to make the greatest effort possible and furnish these food sup plies. We must plant more staples. From the owner of a city lot to the man who owns vast acres, a close co operation must be expected. It is es sential that this great task be com menced at once. Here in America, which has been called the melting pot of the world, we are in need of something that will bring us together. By this war we are given an opportunity of repaying our honest debts. Can we forget France and LaFayette and the sacri fices that was made by them when we were fighting for our independence? We have the finest' of opportuities of binding to us by ties that will in the future prevent their making war on us, those nations of Kurope fighting for their very life. We will fight for the maintenance of our own honor and principles." frof. Brumbaugh reached a climax in his patriotic address, when he de scribed patriotism. He called the names of Washington and Lincoln and told how they offered their services unselfishly, how they were actuated not for personal aggrandizement but for love of country. And that, be said, "is patriotism the love of home ai.d country. It is your love of Hood River that makes you patriotic, and ready to answer the call to mobilize foods that will feed the boys we send to the front and help feed the nations across the seas. Oak Grove, Dee and Barrett repre sentatives were present. Meetings will be held in Oak Grove and Dee tomorrow night for the purpose of forming committees similar to that in charge of plans for this city. the meeting was opened by Mrs. C. O. Huelat, who sang, "Rallly Round the Flag, Boys." A. PATREAU WILL RETURN TO FRANCE Arm and Patreau, Jr., who has been ore spending a furlough from the French trenches with his parents in the Middle Valley, will leave Saturday return to r ranee 10 join nis regi ment The young French soldier, wearing his drab blue uniform and hel met, creating a wide spread attention, was in Portland last week to see the French counsul and endeavor to obtain an extension. Young ratreau stated that he would like to join the proposed vision of Col. Roosevelt, who desires to participate in active service in Eu rope, but the leave was not granted, and the soldier boy will go back to fight under the Lily of France. While in Portland the trench infant ryman visited the Multnomah county court house to find records of a divorce that had been granted his wife a year after he left for the front. Ironically enough, the charge was 'desertion," and the man who had gone to his duty smiled grimly as he recalled that his wife and he had talked the matter over before he left, and. that she had agreed that he should go to fight for his nag. Oddly enough, udge uatens, the man who had mar ried them on October 10, 1912, was the judge who granted the decree of di vorce. - .1 .1 t t.t P Ti l " "TV's i 1 4 " L-Tlllltl1 TTPT SPENCETS LECTURES ARE PERFUNCTORY With about 70 ranchers of the Oak Grove and Barrett orchard district present Monday night at the Park grange hall at the initial meeting E. C. Spence. master of the Oregon State Gauge, began a series of six meetings that he plans to hold this week at dif ferent valley points for the purpose of delivering lectures in opposition to the proposed Sb.000000 road bonding act, With representative members of the local granges declaring that the num hers of their organization opposed to the road bonding act are negligible, the meetings of Mr. bpenee are creating but a minor interest. W hile Monday night s meeting was of a perfunctory nature, the state ments of the state grange master were replied to and his argument challenged bv county school fmperrntendent uifr son and Roy D. Smith, the latter a prominent member of Park grange both of whom made short talks follow ing the lecture of Mr. Spence. HENRY C. McGUlRE IS BURIED HERE The funeral services of the late Henry C.

SATURDAY IS RED CROSS DAY MERCHANTS SHOW AN ENTHUSIASM Mass Meeting, Beilbronner Hall, at Three O'clock Address Will Be Deliv ered by W. W. Hush A Red Cross rally will be held in Hood River Saturday afternoon at Heil- bronner hall. The local chapter of the organization was perfected week be fore last, and as local people have learned the full significance of the Red Cross a keen interest is being mani fested. Efforts will be made to re cruit the membership of the local or ganization to a number in excess of 500. Committees have been appointed to carry on the work, and the Hood RiverRed Cross chapter will probablv be one of the most enthusiastic of all the Apple Valley's patriotic organiza tions. The Saturday afternoon meetinsr will be called at three o'clock. It is ex pected that the attendance will equal or surpass that of the recent partiotic meeting when the big hall was crowded to the very doors. The Red Cross work is today uppermost in the minds of the people of Hood River, and not only will the crowd be swelled by the peo ple of the city, but valley residents as well will be present in force. the chief address of the meeting will be made by W. W. Hush, assistant di rector ofthe Pacific Coast Division of the Red Cross. Mr. Hush, who is a forceful speaker, will tell just what the great organization is going to ex pect from Hood River. Merchants or the city are falling in line, and windows of the business streets will be dressed with Red Cross displays. lhe man or woman who remains away from town Saturday afternoon is going to miss an opportunity of having his feeling of loyalty to country and patriotism stirred profoundly. Pretty first aid girls in uniform will be seen on the streets. Discussing the Red Cross chapter of this city, C N. Ravlin, secretary of the chapter,. says: We have all been more or less vaguely familiar with the Red Cross, but never has it been brought so di rectly to us. It is up to the 'stay-at-homes' to get behind this organization, as this is the most efficient and effec tive thing we can do. No field service is required jof any of the members, 'but there will" be plenty to do here" at home. 'The Hood River ChapHer, which was organized here two weeks ago, was the second chapter in. the state, ranking next to Portland. During the past week a dozen other chapters were organized throughout the state and within a month;Ked;Cro8a work will be under full headway all over the state. lhe American National Red Cross Society is the only oganization author ized by congress for relief work in war time or in national disaster.

Mason a small tract of land, near the tatter's East Side home, to be used in improving a road of the district. The county'a purchase has been held up be cause of litigation existing between Mr. Mason and a neighbor, M. Drag seth, over a water course crossing the two places. Numerous surveys have been made necessary by the county, for following the work of each crew of engineers all marks of survey were removed,
