ARE YOU" k Tlli?
By this we mean; do you ever stop to consider WHY you
save more money by trading at the J. C. Penney Store.
WHY with all these wild and extravagant claims to the effect
that all merchandise has advanced beyond reason we still sell far
below the prices quoted you at other stores before these war
prices came into effect ?
THIS is WHY
1 Because we buy for (1 75) stores selling millions of dollars
worth every year.
2 We buy for spot cash direct from the mills and manufactur
ers; this eliminates the middle man's expense forced upon every
one-store merchant, who is obliged to depend on the wholesale
house and traveling salesman for his goods.
The wholesale houses get their profit; the traveling salesman his
salary, railroad expense and hotel bills. Did you ever stop to
think who pays all these bills? Is it the merchant or the custo
mer who uses the merchandise?

BEAR IN MIND
that in undertaking this work for the community, these folks are actuated by no
possible hope of financial gain. It is a civic effort that everywhere commands the
assistance of those truly interested in their home surroundings and undertaken
solely for the good the program may do. In these days of intense feeling and ac
tivity, to lose step with the world is a serious thing indeed, and the Chautaqua is
everywhere recognized as being one of the best instruments possible to keep a com
munity alive to the great outside world.
Each afternoon and evening for six consecutive days, there is a splendid big
double program, making in all twelve programs or 22 events for $2.50. Therefore,
it costs only the price of an ice cream soda or a good smoke to hear Lo Zito and
His Band, or to hear Gov. G. A. Carlson discuss national issues.
The committee has a limited number of season tickets to dispose of at $2.50 and
when these are gone, the price will advance. There is no need for you to pay the
"long" price.

Red Cross Sermon Given
"The most loyal Christian today is
not putting his funds in the missionary
box alone," said Rev. Elijah Hull
Longbrake, who last Sunday evening
preached a special Red Cross sermon
in celebration of the beginning of Red
Cross week, "but is contributing liber
ally to the Red Cross, which repre
sents Christ in deeds of mercy and
kindness '
The local minister made a strong ap
peal to members of his congreagtion
to meet collecting teams of the Red
Cross Chapter half way and more than
contribute the Hood River allotment
of the huge fund to te raised by the
nation.
"It would be the height of inconsid
eration," said ' Mr. Longbrake, "to
send our soldiers to the field of battle
if we did not undertake to supply them
with what it is impossible for the
stricken countries to afford. It would
be quite as inconsiderate to disregard
the dependent families or again to fail
to reckon with the distress of those
left desolate in the path of war."

'T took him just as he
went up over the trench
parapet took him full in his
bare and muscular throat.
It was hardly bigger than
one of those rubber erasers
tinned to the ends of lead
pencils. But with the driv
ing power of high energy
powder behind its steel
jacketed nose, it was an
altogether competent and
devilishly capable agent of
destruction. He lay quite still a few yards ahead of the trench, where his rush had carried him.
The morning drew toward noon. XXX With night came the beginning of his torment.- First it was
thirst, then fever, then delirium. ' Always his spilling wound burned and throbbed. Even on the second
night, with the rain beating down upon him, it glowed like a kiln. By the third day his agony spoke
in screams. X X X A stretcher party found him and trundled him away, down through the line
of Red Cross units, from dressing station to field base, eventually to Paris. X X X He was
French, but he was fighting our fight. He was French, but a few months from now his coun
terpart may be American. There are bullets enough for all. He may be a boy you know, per
haps a neighbor's boy, even your own. Fighting our fight. Will you help him, when our fight
has broken him, to fight his? Will you help him, when his young body and vivid force are
spent and shattered, to retrieve what he may? Give something to the Red Cross. It is
the wounded soldier's truest
ally. . It is his hope. Give
one dollar, five dollars, ten
dollars, a hundred dollars, if
you can. Do your part. If
you cannot go, you can give.
Those going are giving im
measurably more. Send some
thing today to the Hood Riv
