Elijah Hull Longbrake;
Did you say, my dear friends,
You remember today
You were married just five years ago?
Well, we ve come for awhile
And we've not long to stay.
But we wish that the years still may
grow,
And may numbers but add
To the joys of your life.
And we trust that the sun will go slow,
For the beautiful hours
Of the sunset of life.
Bring a joy that just love-mstes can
know.
For of all the real things
That the running years bring
The Sunset of Life is the best,
For its rich golden glow
That no artist can show
Is the love-home where lovers can rest.
For in these happy hours
What a joy life to scan
That the toil-days were spent not in
vain.
For the halo of love
Rests as only it can
And its peace cometh e'er to remain.
So we tarry awhile .
Just a few moments spend
Which we hope you'll enjoy all through
life.
And tho' five are the years,
May the Good Father send
Many more to this husband and wife.

THE TYPEWRITER
IN THE
HOME
Some think of the Royal Typewriter only in connection with office
work.
Perhaps its first appeal was to the office, where it has certainly
efficiency a thousand fold.
j& But the Royal Typewriter is quite as much needed in the Home.
Writing, the putting of thoughts on paper, has become an integral
part of modern life.
j& Every pupil should learn to prepare lessons, essays and examination
papers on a Royal Typewriter.
j& It teaches spelling, it puts thoughts into writing quicker than any
other means; it eliminates the clumsy, childish scrawl for perfect print
ing; it makes the child neat, exact, accurate qualities that will serve him
the rest of his life.
.tThe Royal will equip the pupil with a useful accomplishment.
s& After a little practice, composition on the Royal becomes much
easier than writing with a pen. More than that, it becomes fun.
?The child gets a taste of craftsmanship, and that means the trans
lation of work into play.
& There is nothing your loving care can provide for your children which
will do more towards increasing their joy in school work, and remain of
greater use to them throughout life, than a ROYAL Typewriter.
j& Its action is more springy, its printing letter perfect.
It is the best machine made. It does not get out of order. It loves
rough usage. It will wear for years.

TAXPAYER DISCUSSES
DEE BRIDGE CASE
Dee, Oct. 15, 1917.
editor Glacier Referring to your
front page article in last week's issue
of the Glacier relative to the recently
completed bridge at this point, it is
noted the county authorities endeavor
to absolve the contractor from alleged
undeserved criticism.
It is not desired to precipitate any
continued discussion or this matter in
your columns. After many weary
weeks of waiting weeks that length
ened into months during one of the
busiest seasons of the year, the people
of this community and Lost Lake
motorists have their bridge and are
grieved but grateful; The Bridge of
Sighs, they call it, because it cost
them so many sighs, heartaches and
near tragedies while driving their
heavily loaded ranch wagons and auto
mobiles in a round about way to Wi
nans station, risking their lives and
property negotiating Dead Man's
Curve above the Devil's Punchbowl,
while this little two by twice bridge
was out of commission for a period of
nearly sixty days, to say nothing of
the labor, perspiration and expense in
volved in toting tons of lumber, apple
box shooks and other material and sup
plies by hand across the river.
Why, there are people right here in
Dee who could have built that bridge
in two weeks without interrupting
traffic over a week. If the contractor
or the county authorities are not to
blame, who is to blame? Why white
wash? There appears no desire locally
to subject either the county authorities
or the contractor to any undeserved or
unjust criticism, but the fact remains
that traffic was absolutely delayed
across this structure from about Aug
ust 20 to October 9. Think of it I
Why was this bridge roofed in? Is
it not a fact that this type of bridge
construction is becoming obsolete in
railroad and county road bridge con
struction? How will loaded sleds
cross in winter with no snow on the
floor of the bridge? A few rods up
stream is a slab and sawdust burner on
the premises of the Oregon Lumber
Co. in operation most of the year, and
with prevailing strong winds from the
southwest. Looks like a fire trap,
doesn't it? Or is it a spark arrester?
Could not the frame work for the
Howe trusses have been built on the
ground and moved into place without
disturbing the old structure until
ready, at least without closing for
traffic nearly two months? Does it
require 21 days for the concrete to set
or ' cure in large grain elevators and
city skyscrapers? If not, and it does
not, , why on a small country bridge I
Give us the concrete facts, not for the
benefit of this community, but for
other communities which may have
bridges tojbuild in future.

THE JUNIOR HOME
GUARD IS GROWING
' Eastman's Autographic and Vulcan
Films and Film Packs at Slocom, Can-
JlfieldQo.'s. n8-tf
This is the firstfauthoritative article
to appear concerning the Hood River
Junior Home Guard. It discusses all
phases of the activities of the organiz
ation and is of particular value to
members.
The Hood River Junior Home Guard
consists of nearly 50 boys. This num-
ber will be raised to 100 within the
next month. Officers are as follows :
Ernest Smith. Ernest Nichol, Ash
ley Post, sergeants ;.Charles Taft, Wil
muth Gibson, corporals ; John Rand,
Robert Smith. Francis Mavens, Wilbur 1
Holman, signalmen. !
The company is to be arranged as
follows:
Platoon 1 Junior Lieutenant, com
mander. Four squads of boys, 9 to 11
years of age.
Platoon t i irst sergeant, command-1
er. Four squads, u to 14 years 01 age.
Platoon 3 Second Lieutenant, com
mander. One squad, 12 to 15 years of
age. three cycle patrols, lour boys
each. One first aid division, four boys.
Platoon 4 First Lieutenant, com
mander. Senior platoon. Four squads,
14 to 16 years of age.
We are now taking up signaling in
earnest All company members are to
be required to learn the general ser
vice code.
Two searchlights are to be construct
ed soon, which.will have an effective
range of about four miles and with
which We will be able to signal over
ten miles. Besides these there will be
a dozen combination electric flash sig
nal and heliograph outfits. Both of
the army flag signaling systems will
be practiced.
We have been endeavoring to secure
the use of a number of automobiles in
case of an emergency. You should be
willing to donate yours.
A new phase of the organization is
the Emergency Food Division, which
will come under the quartermaster, de
partment This division will under
take to supervise the raising of a thou
sand rabbits and about 9,000 chickens.
Those in charge will be Mrs. Chas. H.
Castner and L. B. Gibson, general ad
visors; William Cohoon, mechanical
advisor; Lindsey Spite, authority on
rabbits and poultry.
Besides raising the above named
stock, this department will supervise
the building of about 100 home dryers
to be sold at about $1 each.
Secret service work will also form
an important part of our effort. One
or two squads of "plain clothes men"
will be trained. All company mem
bers will receive some training along
this line. J. K. Carson will be the in
structor. Unifoms are now about the hardest
nuts we have to crack. They would
cost about $5 each.
There are a great deal more inter
esting things to tell, but for lack of
space we must save it for another
week
