Tick ets Exceeding Guarantee Sold Musical Programs Good The annual Hood River chautauqua, which began Thursday and ended Tues day evening, was characterized by the patriotic utterances of speakers. Pat riotism was the dominating keynote of the entertainment. Poet and humorist, W. A. Bone, known as the Riley of Illinois, who de clared that he has been accustomed in the past to regaling his audiences with frivolity for the most part, gave a lec ture Friday afternoon entitled "The House of Man." While much of the original and unique sayings of the Illi nois humorist is laugh producing, he digressed at frequent intervals to voice expressions that bring home to Ameri cans the purpose of their ccuntry in entering the great world war. He de clares that the war is bringing out from recesses of closets the ideals of the greatest democracy, burnishing them anew and setting them up to kin dle in men the reborn spirit of uni versal human liberties. The big chautauqua audience, num bering approximately 1,000, were swayed Friday night by a patriotic ad dress of ex-Governor G. A. Carlson, of Colorado. "The Price of Progress," was the subject of the Colorado man, who declared that Americans of the present generation were enjoying, while they paid a small price for them, more of the fruits of civilization than the people of any other age. "I expect to hear from ex-Governor Carlson," says Ernest C. Smith, who introudced the distinguished visitor on the evening of his address. "I have not heard a sounder, saner expounding of the ideals of American citizenship than that contained in the address of the Coloradan." Ex-Governor Carlson sees in the great war in which America has en tered with unselfish motives the guid ing hand of destiny to save Jthe great democracy from drifting onto the reefs heaped up high by the apathy of her own citizens. He declared that world war, while it is bringing about a na tional compactness, formerly woefully lacking in American citizenship, is also hastening the day when the ruling guide of nations will be international service. ' Governor Carlson touched on the harping and trouble making critics of the administration s war measures. "Debate as to the war is now not to be tolerated in open assertion," he de clared, "nor even to be thought of in the secret recesses of our brains." "It is arousing us." continued the Coloradan, "this war, and bringing about the - rebirth of a nation. It is taking up this unwieldy mass of 100, 000,000 human beings and reshaping them into one compact form. "Great wars are not won by the men at the front with their bayonets, but by the heart power of the people left at home. I can tell you the destiny of the fighting armies on the battlefield by looking into the eyes of the women back yonder at home. Governor Carlson arraigned alike the labor agitator and the exponent of un scrupulous capital. He characterized the career of the man who fought sole ly for his own financial aggrandize ment, capitalizing even the protective powers of his democratic country, as tending to bring about retrogression of democratic principles. "During the past score of years," said Governor Carlson, "we have had the opportunity to witness the activi ties of many men of this character. Their accomplishments may be remem bered for a few years. But today we see the men and women of America engaged in a task the mastery of which may form a great climax of his toiy for 1,000 years." Governor Carlson, who has had ex perience as a special prosecutor and as district attorney in communities of Col orado, where the coal strikes of several years ago menaced the stability of the civil government of the state, cites as a menace the sentimentalist who would become a law maker, and thus, as the erstwhile prosecutor characterizes the tendency, pull the teeth of the laws. "Virtue has long since learned her prayers" he says, "but I want to see virtue develop a punch. If we would put a stop to thievery, grafting, gam bling, crookedness ana murder, we must meet the thief, the gambler and the murderer with a blow between the eyes and not a kiss." The Lyric Glee club was an attrac tion at both the afternoon and evening prformance of the chautauqua Thurs day. Thursday afternoon Francis Hendry entertained the audience with imper sonations. One of the evening num bers was Andrew Johnson in a lecture, Musical selections were given Friday afternoon and evening by the Fillion Concert party, while at both perform ances of Saturday the Military Girls' orchestra was present. An illustrated lecture was given Sat urday afternoon by Dr. G. Whitefield Rae. a South American explorer, who told of a horseback trip through five of the principal states of Latin America. A union service of all churches, the sermon given by Dr. E. L. House, was held at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. At the Sunday afternoon and evening per formances the Koyal Venetian band, which is accompanied by Mary Adele Hays, a soprano singer appeared. In the afternoon an inspirational lecture was given by Mrs. Lorene Wiswell Wilson. The Monday andfTuesday numbers of the program were as follows : Monday afternoon musical selee tions, the Wasser Company; lecture on Women of India, Miss Nettie Spencer; Monay evening, musical selections, the Wasser Company; motion pictures, The Mawson Antarctic Expedition. Tuesday afternoon lecture, "Stories of the South," Wood Briggs, pageant, "Making Americans" by Junior Chau tauquans and Miss Columbia; Tuesday evening, "An Evening in the Alps Graus' Alpine Yodlers. Each morning during the chautauqua the children of the city participated in a Junior chautauqua. All of the pro grams were well attended, the local committee in charge, composed of about 40 business men and orchardists, having sold more tickets than called for under the $1,000 guarantee made to the Ellison-White Company. PROF. HORNER SEEKS NEW 0. A. C STUDENTS 1 l c li. ,il!lii ill Till? fll A I IT A I TAT T A iii f i uu jnnv i nunun i To fill the ranks of the hundreds of O. A. C. students who are already training as soldiers of their country, Prof. J. B. Horner, of the history de partment of the institution, here last week in the interest of the campaign. declares that dozens of the college's teachers are now scouring Oregon in an endeavor to interest boys and girls who have up to this time had but a hazy idea of the possibilities of a col lege education. "And our campaign is meeting with a surprising success, said nor. Hor ner. "I have been spending my entire vacation in 1th is work. Ana never a day passes that I do not meet from one to hve boys and girls who will be at u. A. C. this coming fall as a result of the message I am bringing them." Pror. Horner has called on local bus iness men and orchardists, asking all if thev knew of anyiworthyfyoung boy or girl who would appreciate help from the Oregon Agricultural College. To each of his callers he presents a little slip on which is printed the fol lowing list of boys and girls to whom he offers his aid : Some competent, aspiring youth from whom a college education is withheld because of limitedunds. Some discouraged boy or girl whose earnings should be increased through superior skill in the industries. Some one with limited schooling who has the ability to master a course in vocational training but cannot attend high school. Someone who, graduating from high school, fails to realize the full value of a college education. Someone whose parents believe a college education is unnecessary." Someone who does not appreciate the value of a technical or industrial edu cation. Someone in need of an opportunity to earn a part of his or her expenses while in college. ' Someone with voice or touch that should be cultivated by skilled train ing. Some genius who should be placed in contact with experts, specialists and great laboratories. If vou know of any such person you can render valuable service by making known the fact the to registrar of the Oregon Agricultural College. Prof. Horner arrived from Mosier Thursday morning, where he called on a detachment of Company K encamped there. The company was enrolled at Corvallis, the officers having been ca dets at the college. "The opportunity is now at hand for the Oregon boy who prefers to serve his country on the farm at home, said Prof. Horner, "rather than on a battle field on another continent. This is in response to appeals an nounced in all postoffices somewhat like this: 'Uncle cam wants volun teers for farm work ; he wants able bodied men and boys who will do their bit for theirTcountry's. defense. Ithe farm ;' and that 'one cannot perform a more patriotic service, r or this rea son the Oregon Agricultural College along with other land grant colleges is cooperating with the government in food preparedness, by teaching regular and special students how to train others in a Bhort time to promote the best methods of food production. "The college seeks to come in touch with young men and women who de sire their patriotism, their valor and their lives to count for most in the present crisis, which promises to be critical and long-continued. Therefore any assistance that will result in in fluencing young men and women at this time to prepare themselves more thoroughly for service to their coun try, will be duly appreciated by the Oregon Agricultural College, which stands ready to do its lull duty.. In formation sent on application." Of the graduates from Hood River Mr. Horner recalls : Kaiph w. ArenB, Meiggs Bartmess, Earl Bartmess, C. D. Thompson, Carrie Byerlee, Percy Adams, Gordon U. Brown, B. L. Clark, Alice Horning. R. A. McCully, Mrs. Aileen McCully, Mrs. Lucille Roberts Buxton, Claude Thompson, Hattie Joy Mason, Forrest L.

WEST RESIGNS AFTER LONG SERVICE J. W. West, who for a number of years has been acting manager of the Dee plant of the uregon Lumber co. in the absence of Charles T. Early, now located in Portland as one of the chief officials of the big lumber con cern, is participating in his first vaca tion in 13 years. Mr. West, who ar rived in Hood River in 1904 and im mediately entered the employ of the lumber company in the capacity of a civil engineer, has tendered his resig nation. His engineering work has been taken over by J. Scoggin. Mr. West started with the lumber company and allied corporation, the Mt. Hood Railroad Co., which was built primarily to transport the product of the Dee plant but wmcn today nas been extended to Parkdale in the Upper Hood River Valley and is one of the most important freight feeders of the O.-W. R. & N. Co., as an assistant of his father, Joseph A. West, of Ogden, Uath, who had charge of the construction of the first stretch of the line. On the return of the elder man to Utah, Mr. West superintended the completion of the road to Dee, and under this direction the Parkdale ex tension was built in 1910. During his 13 years' of service with the railway and lumber company, Mr. West has had charge of the expendi ture of several million dollars. He has built all logging roads, construct ed the system of the Dee Power & Irrigation Co., the plant of which supplies water to the big block of orchard land on Dee Mat, formerly logged off land, and in 1912 he acted in an engineering capacity on the rebuild ing of the Dee mill, which was de stroyed by fire. During his residence at Dee, Mr. west nas aeveiopea a fruit ranch on the Dee Flat section.

FOURTH CROWDS SPENDFREELY DAY'S EFFORTS NET LARGE FUND Prominent Women Spend Day Selling Con fetti, Ice Cream Cones Tnou sands Swat the Kaiser Never in the history of Hood River has so great a crowd been present at a fourth of July celebration as was here last Wednesday : never did enthusiasm run'so high nor were the big crowds better humored. simultaneous with the celebration of the birth of the American nation, the day, locally, was dedicated to the work of the Red Cross and the soldiers of the United States Army, the national guardsmen, the volunteers and the prospective army of a million men to be chosen soon by the selective draft. The people of the Ap ple Valley gave a farewell ovation to the members of Twelfth Company who participated in drills as a feature of the day's program. In his address Capt. Wilbur pointed to the high place taken by Oregon among the states of the nation in re sponding to the calls of the President. "Oregon," he declared, "has been first in oversubscribing the Liberty War loan, first in doubling the Red Cross allotment, first in reporting war census registration, first to make ready for the selective draft and first in furnishing in record time her quota of volunteers." As a close to his address Capt. Wil bur paid a tribute to the 47 young men of the county who have volunteered and who are already in the service. The name of each volunteer and his respective branch of service was read by Capt. Wilbur. At the formal exercises of the day Mayor Dumble presided. The invoca tion was pronounced by Rev. J. L. Allen, of the Heights Baptist church, who prayed that officers of the law, if any enemies of the Stars and Stripes were present 'in the big crowd, mijjht be guided in their work of finding them out and placing them in deten tion. People of the mid-Columbia have never been more liberal than last Wednesday, and before the festive oc casion had closed with a monster open air dance, a total of $700 had been netted, the sum to be divided equally between the Red Cross and the mem bers of Twelfth Company. The artil lery men will use their portion of the money in providing a mess fund. Refreshment and entertainment booths each returned a substantial sum. Prominent Jwomen of the city spent the day selling "hot dogs," con fetti, balloons ana ice cram cones. "The Old Plantation" was put on by talented valley singers. Miss Martha, the 13 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. . Ferguson, a gifted elocu tionist, "did her bit"time after time before an audience packing a large tent. A total of $70 was collected at a booth where men and boys were given the privilege of throwing ballB at a dummy Wilhelm. "Soak der kaiser," was the inscription Jon the banner above the booth. When the dummy was knocked down, the ball thrower was entitled to a cigar, but the partci pants refused any reward for their ability as marksmen, declaring that the downfall of the effigy gave them sufficient pleasure, and when the pro gram was ended, the Red Cross still possessed several boxes of cigars. The idea of soaking the kaiser'orig inated with Arthur Kolstad, who with Mrs. Harry DeWitt and Mrs. L. F. Henderson formed the Red Cross com mittee on arrangements. Walter Ford and R. L. Foust were the artil lerymen members of the committee. A chief part was played in the day's Erogram by the members of the Girls' onor Guard, who participated in a body in the big parade of the morning and throughout the day conducted a Japanese tea garden on a vacant lot. A net sum of $80 was returned by the Honor Girls. One of the telling stunts of the day, from a standpoint of funds taken in, was the "acordeen man." J. W. Forbes, froma da faira land of Italia played the "acordeen." He was ac companied by Art Kolstad and Ivan Dakin, the latter dressed as a wounded Belgian soldier. The eloquent appeals of Mr. Kolstad netted nearly $50. One of the prettiest happenings of the day took place on Oak street, when seven "little girls, in charge of D. G. Cruikshank, started off in a doll baby parade. Every buggy deserves especial mention, and indeed, all (of the pretty little girls received prizes. The first award was given little Miss Maxine Williams, daughter of Mrs. Alice Williams. The second prize was won by Miss Daisy Walters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Walters. The first prize for a decorated auto mobile was won by Theodore Haas. The car was 'covered with beautiful roses, on which the Haas family and Cecil Lafferty had spent the night be fore at work. Mr. Lafferty drove the car. The automobile of J. R. Kinsey captured second prize. The Goddess of Liberty, Miss Louise Halvorsen, occupied seat of honor in the automobile of Geo. W. Thomson. The ; feature of the 'automobile pa rade was the 17 Maxwells displayed. The Maxwells made an excellent show- mSL- The Girls' Honor Guard won the prize for having the largest individual body participating in the parade. Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Smith, who celebrated their golden wedding anni versary last year won the award for being the oldest couple in the parade. Mr. Smith is commander of Canby Post, G. A. R. The fire boys participated in drills on Oak street and their hook and lad der, drawn on the E. A. Franx Co. automobile formed a pleasing part of the parade. The boys were resplend ent in their bronzed helmets. Squad 2, of the Artillery Co., in charge of Hayes Bickford, was given first award in the competitive drills. Squad 3, in charge of Corporal Shoe maker, won the second prize. Winners of prizes in the athletic contests were : Harold Anderson, Clar ence Barnett, Boyd Campbell, Beatrice Campbell and Helen Jones. Mrs. W. J.
