Everyone invited. The next regular meeting of the grange will be held Thursday, this, evening. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Boles, former ly of Odell, later of Washougal, Wash., expect to become residents of Odell and proprietors of a new boarding house and lunch room, which will be located in a new bungalow H. K. Davenport is building for Mr. Boles on a lot secured from the Consolidated Mercantile Co. and located just west of the local Consolidated store. We are very glad to note this newest addi tion to our little village, for we have many times had occasion to know that such n business venture has every reason to succeed. The community picnic given under the auspices of the Mothers' Club of Willow Flat and Central Vale Thurs day evening, July 19, on the lawn at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Chevron, was a great success. Mrs. (.'has. Castner, president of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, and president of the State Council of Defense, was present. W. D. Allen, of Central Vale, has a new Maxwell and H. II. Fawbush a Ford. Miss Mary Sheppard returned to the home of her mother, Mrs. Job Shep nard, of Central Vale, Monday, after having enjoyed several weeks' visit at the home of her friend, Mrs. Guy Lin ville, of Condon, Ore. Now that the draft is over and those who are chosen know their part in maintaining our country's honorable position, which was won by brave men and true in the years from the time the tiny strip along the Atlantic coast, known as the Thirteen Colonies, de fended their convictions with their lives, until today, when we stand great among nations. Before this appears in print our local company will have mobilized and we can not forget that because they voluntarily offered their services no first call or draft came to Hood River county. Friends here may do their bit just now by contributing supplies to the boys while they are in camp on the chautauqua grounds. Potatoes and such provisions as may be contributed in excess of what is consumed here will be shipped when the corps is ordered to a new location. Ixical contributors may leave supplies with J. E. Ferguson or with the com pany at the chautauqua grounds. This will greatly help the boys' mess fund, as each boy is allowed 40 cents per day for food and every bit of food received from other sources swells the mess fund. The following program was provided for entertainment of those who at tended the F. B. C. party last Friday night: Piano solo, Mrs. Geo. Wilbur; vocal solo. Will Haskins; reading, Forrest Moe; violin solo, Franklin Folts; reading, Martha Ferguson; vocal solo, Capt. Geo. Wilbur. Mrs. J. E. Ferguson in well chosen words presented to Capt. Wilbur and each of the nine Odell boys who are members of the company, a handsomely bound copy of the New Testament. The decorations were flags and crimson Rambler roses. Refreshments in charge of Misses Heft and Harriet Hamman were dainty and appetizing. Between 50 and 60 were present. Mr. and Mrs. W.

This has been the most im portant item for Frankton the last week. L. L. Forest left last week for Pen dleton, where he will probably work at his trade of blacksmithing. The big fire Sunday tied up traffic over the Highway for several hours. The Frankton cherry crop was up to the average. It is about all harvested. Earl Noble came up from Wyeth Monday. He came over the Highway and said it was hard Ford ing in some places. The Stanley-Smith Lumber Co. were big losers in the fire, as a long section of the. flume was burned. M. R. Noble had a close call. His house was afire several times and would have burned had it not been for plenty of water and lots of help. Ivan, one of the Artillery boys from Frankton left Tuesday to go into the temporary camp at Hood River. We had some more items, or thought we had, but guess they must have gone up in smoke. MOUNT HOOD. Mrs. Jones, of Eugene, is visiting Mrs. Ella May Jones for a week. Mrs. Jones formerly lived on the old Mink place. Mrs. Schmidt and grandchildren, Russell and Ira Curtiscame from Fos sil to visit here with relatives.

Smullin lawn, after which the children played games and enjoyed a "story time" with Miss Case, of Portland, who is camping at Smullin's. The little tots, of about 15 in number, earned the auto picnic by winning in a verse learning contest between the beginners and pri mary department, the prize offered by the superintendent. Sunday a number of electric light pole were blown down between the Mt. Hood store and the church, two blow ing across the road, so that those re turning from Parkdale from the morn ing service were unable to pass until the wires and poles were removed. Folks sat in the darkness or else put the old lamp into use Sunday night. Hanging lamps that were used at the Mt. Hood church before the electric lights were put in were again put up and into use.

If they pass the necessary examination and leave us they will be missed by their many friends. T. Wyers was up from White Salmon last week contracting for oats and hay. No one seems over anxious to sell ow ing to the possibility of higher prices. The hay crop in this vicinity is said to be gocKLThe grain is looking good, too. -" Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hyde, of White Salmon, and Mrs. Mary Stewart and daughter, Miss Glendora, of Portland, spent the week end with Mrs. Eva Stewart.

HOOD RIVER EXEMPT ON THE FIRST CALL The drawing of the serial numbers of men eligible to form the big national armies of Uncle Sam formed a bond of interest last Friday for 10,0000,000 male citizens between the ages of 21 and 31, exclusive. While it had for merly been planned to draw only enough numbers to make up the de sired number of 650,000 for the first army, the state of New Jersey failed to properly arrange its serial cards, and a change was necessary at the eleventh hour. The serial number of every man drafted was drawn, the numbers ranging from 1 to 10,000. Each 1,000 numbers drawn will provide a total of 1,000,000 men. The men drafted will be taken in ac cordance with the order in which their serial numbers were drawn in the lot tery, which was conducted in the sen ate chambers at Washington. While Hood River men were drawn just as all other communities of the nation, no Hood River men, because the county's full quota has been fur nished in volunteers and national guardsmen, will be taken on the first call. Indeed, the local quota of en listed men will cut down the draft quota on the second call, it is said. Out of the first 3,000 numbers drawn, the following Hood River men were taken: 258 Lindley C. Wilton 458 Leslie W. Stone 337Chas, E. Hamilton 275 Oscar O. Jones 509 Carl A. Thomsen 564 Orlando Bendlnelll 596 Earl Ordway 536 Ellis Kersten 548 John L. Schiller 126 Mike Katsimpas 107 Tony U.

The Bear, about a month old, while the party was delayed by a forest fire west ot the city, after a draught at his milk bottle took a nap. He seemed to be enjoying the journey as much as the children. Little bruin was captured a week ago when the man of the party shot his mother in a central Oregon forest. To The Sportsmen of America. Dear Sportsmen: As the President of the Oregon Sportsmen's League my attention has been called to the fact that the widow of the Honorable Owen N. Denny, who as the first man that shipped the Chinese game birds to America in November, 1882, is now living in Portland and she is in need of funds to save her home. You will remember, good sportsmen, that Judge Denny was a very able and honorable man and he has given to us a great gift well to be remembered. Since his death in the year 1900 his wife, Mrs. Gertrude Jane Denny, was left with a home, and, about four years ago believing that she could receive an income if she could mortgage her home for Six Thousand ($6000) Dollars, she did so, but the investment was a fail ure. During the past four years she has labored faithfully to pay tha inter est on this mortgage by selling heir looms, furniture, and taking roomers in her home and now, in her eightieth year, with about Four Thousand ($4000) Dollars contracted debt, she is about to lose her home. I have been able to have the mortgagee withhold the forclosure for a while, so please hurry this matter. I fully believe that the Sportsmen of America will contribute One ($1.00) Dollar or more each, and that the sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars will be raised to clear this mortgage and indebtedness as a living monument to the memory of Judge Denny and for the protection of his faithful and hon orable wife. Therefore, I appeal to you as loyal sportsmen to immediately communicate with me about the mat ter as Portland has begun to raise her share. I am mailing the various leagues of the state full particulars, enclosing subscription blanks, etc., hoping for their full cooperation in this very worthy cause. W. R. Schmeer, cashier U. S. Na tional Bank, Portland, Oregon, has been appointed treasurer of the Denny Memorial Fund. Make full report to the treasurer. Dr. Earl C. McFarland, Pres. Oregon Sportmen's League. Realty Convention Set J. F. Batchelder, a member of the executive board of the Interstate Real Estate Association, formed in Portland last year, is at work this week en deavoring to stimulate a local interest in the organization's first convention, which will be held at Gray's Harbor, Wash., August 9, 10 and 11. Mr. Batchelder, who will be present for the meeting, declares that he will take several other local realtors. "The railroads," says Mr. Batchel der, "are making special rates, and since the Gray's Harbor people have raised more than $2, for the entertain ment of their guests, the personal ex penses of delegates will be nominal." Why take chances? Bring your films to us' for development and printing. Expert work. Pronipt service. Slo- com, Cantield Co. ni6-tf To My Sob (The following was written by a Hood River mother to her son, who recently enlisted and thus offered to sacrifice, if necessary, his life that the ideals of his nation might survive.) Go forth, my son, your country calls Its loyal men to battle's strife. From field and wood, frcm sheltered walls, From every way and walk of life To avenge the wrongs by Kaiser wrought On human kind, for greed of gain, For lust of conquest, dearly bought. With blood and tears that fall like rain. Go forth, Go forth, my son, our cause is right. I would not have you stay. Go help to pierce the stealer's might And bring the world a glad, new day. Fling out our Flag o'er France's soil And bid oppression die. Help up the ones who. bleeding, toil To bring the hour of freedom nigh. God keep you, dear, all safe from harm. From war's swift wings of death. And bring you home to loving arms I'll pray with every waking breath. He's gonel He's gone! My boy is gone! My little boy that used to be, Who came from dawn till set of sun To tell his joys and griefs to me. No soldier then, my happy lad, We dreamed not of this fateful day ; The future seemed so fair and glad This morn he marched away. He left behind all those he knew, Each dawning hope of earthly bliss, The girl for whom his heart beats true, Has only memories of bis kiss. With head held high I watched him go And hid the hurt beneath. I could not let my soldier know How deep my heart was torn with grief. Some mother's sons will not come home, For battles take their toll, And if perchance it be our own That answers not to call of roll, Remember this as best we may, For aching hearts and diming sight, That sunset ends the longest day ; Sometime would fall eternal night. Tho' long the days, the weary nights That we may wait to hear Across the seas of bitter fights That fill our hearts with fear. Somehow, sometime, the day will come When wars shall cease to be. So must well say, "Thy will be done In Thine own wisest way." So if for them there comes the call On France's far off plain, And o'er the world sweet peace shall fall They have not died in vain. Billy Sunday Visits Portland Billy Sunday and family spent the week end in Portland. The noted evangelist delivered a number of addresses, was chief speaker at the service of dedication at Oregon City's new auditorium and as guest of honor at a number of dinners. Rev. Sunday states that he may accept an invitation to preach in Portland in the near future.
