THE NEW YEAR
The New Year approaches. Let us
look forward to 1918 with stout hearts
and full of courage. Although yet un
born, we .know that the 12 months of
1918 are going to be filled with grief
for many and sacrifice for all of us.
Let us be ready to bear grief or sacri
fices with fortitude, for we know they
will be the price of an ultimate un
precedented triumph.
The past eight months of the year
that is passing has taught us many
valuable lessons. As we of the small
community of Hood River have felt
that grasp of a unification of ideals,
so has the impression made itself felt
over the entire.nation. In past years
we, and other towns and counties have
done likewise, have expended our
greatest efforts for sectional advance
ment. With the burden of the great
war laid on our nation, we now think
along broader lines and our energy is
being exerted to assist our nation in
the time of peril First of all we have
been liberal in proffering the services
of our young men. But we have also
backed this with our finances and with
the strength of our hearts.
. As the new year advances and ma
tures we are going to receive further
calls to make sacrifices. Now at the
outset let us begin with this one
thought, that 1918 must be dedicated
to the great and just cause of winning
the war against the hun.
THE FIREMEN'S DANCE
Nex Monday night the members of
the Volunteer fire department will be
hosts at their 13th annual ball. The
firemen are going to receive a gratify
ing support from the people of Hood
River. This support ought to be unan
imous. The department is an organization that
Hood River should be proud of. Eleven
members are already away at the front
in their country's service. The depart
ment has pledged itself to assist the
families of those boys who have gone.
The organization maintains a fund
for the aid of members who fall sick or
are injured on duty.
. The Volunteer fire department has
subscribed, liberally, to all of the pat
riotic activities in which Hood River
citizens have participated.
The fire department is maintained to
protcet the property of all Hood River
men and women, and therefore the or
ganization should at this time have the
full support of every man, woman and
child in the town.
AS TO CARS
Entitled, "Wanted, Volunteers to
Shorten the Shortage" the Public Ser
vice Commission of Oregon, F. J. Mil
ler, H. H. Corey and F. G. Butchel,
have sent out the following appeal :
You have bought a Liberty Bond;
you have contributed to the Red Cross ;
you have donated to the Army and
Wavy x. M. U A., but unless you load
cars heavily, deliver speedily and re
lease promptly you are derelict in your
duties to your country, whose trans
portation needs are paramount to your
private rights. This Commission asks,
your own interests require and' your
country demands the strict observance
of these rules :
Remember cars are not warehouses.
Consign no cars without bona fide
sales.
Buy from and sell to your nearest
market.
Accumulate material sufficient to
load cars before ordering.
Load and unload on day received re
gardless of free time limit.
Notify railroads of release immedi
ately, in advance if possible.
Load cars to full visible capacity, or
ten per cent above marked capacity.
Pool shipments destined to same or
other points in same car when practic
able. Report all serious delays in securing,
unloading and releasing cars to this
Commission.
Bring yourself to a full realization
of the situation.
Don't expect the impossible of the
railroad, the Bhipper or this Commis
sion. Observance of these suggestions is
of vital importance.
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
The people of Hood River should be
grateful that they have an organiza
tion like the Commercial club. For
the past year we have heard little of
the Commercial club. Activities of
patriotic organizations have overshad
owed those of the commercial body.
But the Commercial club has been con
stantly busy. The organization has
been of invaluable assistance to the
Red Cross and to the Y. M. C. A.
The Commercial club has furnished
its rooms and its facilities to all patri
otic organizations. It has made possi
ble a centralization of our energies
and thus has been responsible for much
of Hood River county'a "Oregon
First" success.
The British army has marched in tri
umph into Jerusalem, the Holy City.
The birthplace of Christianity, after
some six centuries, is again in the
hand of Christians. One of the most
interesting things we note about the
capture is the statement of the com
manding officer that Jerusalem might
have been taken several weeks ago,
but that the operations of the siege
were retarded since the investing army
wished to save from fire the sacred
spots of the ancient town. Thus we
get the difference in the nature of the
hun and Tommy Atkins. German kul
tur baa been responsible for the de-,
structionof cathedral after catheraL
Such is the way of the German mad
ness, but 'he march to Berlin will differ
from that of the investment of Jerusa
lem. The Allied armies will not prac
tice wanton destruction, but when the
grand drive is finally on, nothing will
be permitted to stand in the way. i
However deep a snow may pile up,
however much it may rain, some old
time resident always comes forward
and upsets the dope as to a record.
The recent flood that swept out Hood
river bridges was thought by many of
us to have been the biggest freshet the
Hood river had ever bad. But now
comes Geo. T. Prather, who carries
many records of Hood River history in
his head, and tells of a flood in 1882
that was six feet higher than that of
last week. Mr. Prather then owned a
West Side tract in the vicinity of the
present dajXranchJof (Leslie Butler.
The place include an island. When
the flood was over, Mr. Prather's isl
and was down at Astoria.
Not overburdened with the usual
non-sense and bizarre decorations that
characterize such issues of the country
weekly in many cases, but its 22 pages
filled Jwith a record of the achieve
ments of its home town citizens and
those of Deschutes county and an ex
pression of bright hopes for the fu
ture, the Christmas number of the
BendPress has reached us. It goes
without saying that the citizens of
Bend are proud of the holiday number
of their progressive weekly.
The Christmas issue if the Portland
Spectator came to us week before last.
The Spectator each week is well worth
while, but the Christmas number was
especially good. Numerous articles,
filled with valuable information and
pertaining to subjects particularly in
teresting to thinking Oregonians were
published. The issue contained clever
bits resulting from the inspiration of
such favorites as Ben Hur Lampman
and Dean Collins.
We thought that Hood River people
had agreed to abide by the decision of
the State Highway Commission in the
matter of locating the highway be
tween here and Mosier. The Pomona
grange is still adopting resolutions on
the location. The action of the grange
is now out of place.
The Red Cross women who conduct
the classes in sewing should remember
that the soldiers in the trenches have
to fight be the weather what it may.
Get out the old book of good resolu
tions, dust it off and make your annual
entry.
Try a little Tillamook cheese.
Cheese it !
Tha Land of Large Families.
In his article on the winter life of
the French Canadians in Harper's
Howard E. Smith tells of the ex
traordinary large families of these
simple folk.
"Soon the twilight grew to night,
and the largo lamp ou the table cast
Its orange glow over theroom and the
long table filled with steaming dishes.
" 'You have a large family, madam,'
I remarked, as they gathered about
the table.
" 'Oui, monsieur, we are sixteen. It
is a good gift to le boa Dleu, n'est-ce
pas?' she said, turning toward the
cure.
"'C'est vral, nion enfant It Is
There Is no better gift than that of
another child to his kingdom.'
"I could not but remember that the
law has also encouraged large fami
lies by passing a bill at Quebec giv
ing ten acres of land to any family
having from that time forth twelve or
more children, and how In two years
the law was repealed because the de
mand on those ten acre lots was In
excess of the supply."
Strawberry Not.
The most distressing of facial de
formities, rhliiophyniii, which is char
acterized by a much' swollen aud red
dened tip of the nose, making this look
like a huge strawberry or a piece of
cauliflower that has been dipped in
bpet Juice, may be cured by a simple
operation. Sir William Milllgan of the
Royal Infirmary, Manchester, England,
describes this In the London Lancet
The operation consists In cutting off
all the hypcrtrophled tissue, while the
nasal passages are kept extended with
absorbent wool in order to preserve
their contour. Care la taken to avoid
Injury to the lateral cartilages, and
only two Insignificant blood vessels re
quire tying. The raw surface Is cov
ered with two thin grafts o skin cut
from the patient's thigh, over which a
sheet of gold leaf Is placed and a dry
dressing fastened with adhesive plas
ter. It Bhould be possible to remove tha
dressing In five days.

THE TYPEWRITER
IN THE
HOME
j& 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.
But the Royal Typewriter is quite as much needed in the Home,
ti? Writing, the putting of thoughts on paper, has become an integral
part of modern life.
& 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 heat, exact, accurate qualities that will serve him
the rest of his life.
.ft? The Royal will equip the pupil with a useful accomplishment.
& 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.
j& 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.
s& 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.
