RED CROSS CHAPTER
" APPRECIATES AID
The Hood River Chapter of the
American Red Cross desires to take
this opportunity of expressing its
heartfelt gratitude and appreciation
for the most generous response to the
many appeals for assistance during the
past year, and for the splendid cooper
ation of everyone who has been called
upon for active Red Cross work.
The real Red Cross spirit is to
promptly accept, without question or
hesitation, any duty or work that is
delegated by those in command. We
are very gratified to be able to state
that this spirit has prevailed locally to
the very highest degree from the very
beginning of the Hood River Chapter.
The many workers, without excep
tion, who "have brought the Chapter to
such a high state of efficiency, have
devoted their Jtime and energies with
out compensation of any sort. A great
many " sacrifices have been made, in
time, in money and in physical
Btrenght, but we feel confident that
all of those who are bearing the brunt
of the Red Cross work are prepared,
and willing, to make still greater sac
rifices should the demand be made up
on them.
We are proud to state that the local
Red Cross workroom has been pro
nounced by the traveling auditorof the
northwest division of the Red Cross
and by army medical experts, who vis
ited Hood River last week, to be the
most efficient, bet organized and best
equipped of any Chapter in the north
west outside of the big cities. We
particularly desire to congratulate the
ladies in charge for the splendid re
sults they have achieved during the
few months the workroom has been in
operation.
We especially want to emphasize our
appreciation to the officers and mem
bers of the Commercial club for so
generously contributing so large a part
of their club rooms for Red Cross pur
poses. We feel that the club, in all
its existence has never done anything
that wll so redound to the credit of the
organization as this courtesy to the
Red Cross. We do not hesitate to ssy,
that through the generosity of the
Commercial club the efficiency of the
local Red Cross has been increased 50
per cent.
We further desire to extend the
thanks of the Chapter to Messrs. Cass
and Lofts, of the Transfer & Livery
Co., for their liberality in offering to
do, without charge, any and all haul
ing and cartage required by the - Chap
ter. Since this offer was made last
April we have had to make a great
many calls upon them, for all kinds of
cartage, from a case of finished gar
ments to the freight depot, to a couple
of tons of old papers to the boat land
ing. In every instance they have re
sponded promptly and men and teams
have been placed at our disposal as
long as the service was required.
The many favors extended to the
Chapter by the merchants, fruit grow
ers, fraternal and social organizations
and individuals are much too numerous
to itemize, but to them all we extend
on behalf of the Hood River Chapter
our most cordial thanks.

WEST POINT AND
ANNAPOLIS EXAMS
Congressman Nick Sinnott has been
called upon by the War Department

He will make designations of princi
pals and alternates to fill both these
vacancies on the basis of a competi
tive exmination to be held on January
9, 1918, by the U. S. Civil Service
Commission simultaneously in the fol
lowing eight cities of his district:
Klamath rails, Lakeview, untano,
Bend, Baker La Grande, Penleton, The
Dalles. Candidates should report to
local Civil Service seceretary at the

1917. been an actual bonafide resident
of the second Oregon district. Candi
dates for admission to the military
academy at West Point must not be
under 17 nor over 22 years of aee on
date of admission ; to the naval acad
emy, between the ages of 16 and 20
years on the date of official examina
tion.

composition and literature, plane ge
ometry and English grammar.
Those desiring to tawe me examina
tion should write to Congressman Sin

Washineton. D. C, at once, for sample
questions and further information. It
is important that each fsnoum aiso

Radishes Win Reputation
Hood River orchardists have made a
widespread reputation the past season
for production of winter radishes.
Planted in August in numerous war
gardens, the vegetables have reached
in instances the enormous length of
two feet Traveling salesmen and vis
itors to the city have purchased the
radishes to be expressed or mailed
home as vegetable novelties. The rad
ishes are mild in taste and are pre
ferred by most people to the little red
radishes offered by green grocers in the
early spring.
Receiving of Proposals Postponed
On account of the necessity of mak
ing line changes in the proposed route
between Mosier and Hood River for
reasons which were unknwon at this
office until recently, the date of receiv
ing proposals on this work which was
advertised as luesday, January stn,
wilt be postponed. As soon as the ex
tent of the changes has been deter
mined, a new date will be set for re
ceiving these proposals.

Chamberlain's Tablets.
Chsmherlain's Tablets are intended
esnecialtv for stomach troubles, bilious
ness and constipation, and have met
with much success in the treatment ot
those (diseases. People who have suf
fered for years with stomach trouble and
have been unable to obtain any perma
nent relief, have been completely cured
by the use of these tablets. Chamber
lain's Tablets are also of great value for
biliousness. Chronic constipation may
be permanently cured by taking Cham
berlain's Tablets and observing the plain
printed directions with each bottle.
CHAPLAIN OF 18TII
WRITES MRS. CRAMPS
Ernest V. Gramng has just received
from his mother. Mrs. Anna C. Cramps.
of Minneapolis, a letter written her
by Earl Cleeland, chaplain oi tba 18th
Engineers, about her son.'Pvt. Floyd
M. Gram ns. member of Co. F. recruit
ed last year from Northwestern boys.
Chaplain Cleeland, a ror nana man,
writes :
'No doubt through the chief of the
Burial Department you have by this
time been advised of the trait ic death
of your son, bugler of Company F, 18th
Engineers.
"As his chaplain may I not also
write you, difficult though the task
may be. His entire regiment was ter
ribly shocked by his suddendeath, and
we mourn his loss, but our grief is as
nothing to the suffering that you, his
mother, will have to endure. Your son
erave all that he had to give. A man
could do more. He gave his life in or
der that the principles of liberty and
Justice might remain secure on earth,
and thereby has merited an everlasting
crown. He wasburied under the sign
of the Cross of the Founder of those
principles for which we fight. Had
your son lived to old age at home in
America, could he have gained a better
crown?
"Your son had been spending the
day in the city on a leave of absence,
and was returning to camp along the
railroad tracks about 9.30 p. m. So
far as we know he was alone. He was
seen on the street car by a number of
the men of the 18th just about a half
an hour before, but the men separated
at the tar line to return for the night
to their various locations in camp.
The 18th is not all located in one camp.
Thinking, no doubt, that walking down
the tracks would bring him more
quickly to camp he apparently took
that course and started off alone.
"About 3 o'clock the next morning
his body was found beside the track
just opposite the caoip. I think he
was found by one or the men on guard.
All we know is that he was alone and
that Jhe had evidently been struck by a
train. His death must nave neen in
stantaneous. He probably never knew
what happened.
"He was 'given, a military funeral
attended by the regimental band, most
of the members of his company, a
number of officers, the pall bearers
and a firing squad. As the chaplain of
the regiment 1 read the Episcopal bur
ial service and delivered a sermon at
the grave. It was a solemn occasion.
"Some French people of the neigh
borhood hearing of the death of your
son sent to his funeral a bouquet with
this inscription attached: 'To the
young American, who died so far from
home, from friends in France.' "
Council Adopts Resolution
The citv council recently adopted
the following resolution in honor of
the young soldier :
Whereas, on October 17, 1917, Floyd
M. Gramps gave his life in carrying
on our country's fight for democracy,
liberty and humanity against a bar
baric autocracy ; and
Whereas, there was thereby lost to
our country a patriotic son, to our
army a valiant soldier, and to our
community a worthy and respected cit
izen, now, theretore,
Be it Resolved that the Mayor and
Common Council of the City of Hood
River, Oregon, in regular meeting as
sembled, do all honor to the name and
memory ofjthia brave lad, and do here
by indelibly record an expression of
their .great respect "and appreciation
for a life so nobly lived and given in
patriotic devotion. '

Grange Adopts Resolution
The Pomona grange has forwarded
to the county court a copy of a resolu
tion which urges the State Highway
Commission to locate the Highway be
tween here and Mosier over the inter
vening range of mountains, following a
survey made two years ago by J. A.
Elliott, an engineer ior the Uommre
sion. Declaring that the Highway is
for the purpose of expltTung scenery
rather than utilitarian, the grangers in
their resolution say that points of the
Elliott survey offer unexcelled scenic
panoramas.
County Judge Blowers states that the
court will take no action on the grange
resolution.

Wright. The cook, who was on a va
cation, was left here where his wounds
were dressed.
Stomach Trouble and Constipation.
Those who are afflicted with stomach
trouble and constipation should read the
following: "I have never found any
thing so good for stomach trouble and
constipation as Chamberlain's Tablets.
I have used them off and on now for the
past two years. They not only regulate
the action of the bowels but stimulate
the liver and keep one's body in heal
thy condition," writes Mrs. Benjamin
Hooper, Auburn, X. Y,
nOW THE GERMANS If?
HAVE BEEN TAUGHT
The following is reprinted from Cur
rent Events, published weekly in New
York city throughout the school year
by the American Education Press :
The following letter from a Prussian
girl to a fiiend in Switzerland may
throw lieht upon that amazing state
of mind of the Prussian people which
leada them to support and applaud
their king in plunging the world into
war. For behind the war, and the real
cause of it, there is a Prussian way of
looking at things. That way is so for
eign to our American ideas of right
and wrong that Americans can hardly
understand it or believe that it exists.
The letter is printed in the Con
gressional Record, and is taken from
page 8046 of the volume for the recent
session. No doubt this girl is just an
average Prussian in the ideas she
shows regarding a supposed Prussian
right to rule the world. She expresses
the idea a little more simply and
frankly than the Prussian statesmen;
that is all. ihat a great intelligent
people like the Prussians can be so ig
norant and perverted in their moral
ideas is what is hardest for Americans
to understand.
"Frankfort on Oder. July 20, 1016.
"My dear Louise: The contents of
your last letter would have hurt me
had I not known that your thoughts of
our glorious war resulted from sheer
ignorance.
You are in a country rendered ef
feminate by the influence of old fash
ioned ideas of liberty, a country which
is at least two centuries behind ours.
You are -in need of a good dose of
Prussian culture.
"It is evident that you, a Swiss girl,
with your French sympathies, cannot
understand how my heart, the heart of
a young German girl, passionately de
sired this war. Speaking of it some
years ago, my father said to us : 'Chil
dren, Germany is getting too small for
us, we shall have to go to t ranee again
in order to find more room. Is it our
fault if France will not understand that
more money. and land are necessary for
us?
"And you reproach us that our sol
diers have been very cruel to the Bel
gian rabble, and you s'peak also of the
destruction of Rheims, and of the burn
ing of villages and towns. Well, that
is war. As in every undertaking, we
are past masters in the making of war.
"You have a great deal to learn be
fore you can come up to our standard,
and I can assure you that what has
been done so far is a mere bagatelle
compared with what will follow.
"As a matter of fact, there is but
one race worthy of ruling the world,
and which has already attained the
highest degree of civlization. That
race is ours, the Pussians ; for though
we Germans in general are the lords of
the world the Prussian is undoubtely
the world par excellence among the
Germans.
"All other nations, and among them,
unfortunately, the Swiss, are degener
ate and of inferior worth. That is why
I have always been so proud of being a
true Prussian.
"Yesterday, again, our pastor ex
plained to us convincingly that our first
parents, Adam and Eve, were also
Prussian. That is quite easy to under
stand, because the Bible tells us that
the German God created us all after
his own image. If, then, all men are
descended from Adam and his wife, it
follows that only Prussians, or at least
Germans, ought to exist in the world,
and that all who push on and prosper
ought to belong to us. You must ad
mit that that is logic, and that is why
our motto is, 'God with us, Germany
above everything.'
"You know now why we wished this
war. Is it not shameful that other na
tions, who have no right to existence
on the earth, wish to diminish our her
itage? We are the divine fruit and the
others are only weeds. That is why
our great emperor has decided to put
an end to all these injustices and to
extirpate the weeds. Do you under
stand that now?

Importance of Healthy
Kidneys.
Hood River Readers Should Learn to
. Keep the Kidneys Well.
The kidneys have a big work to do.
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed of poisonous matter. It is a heavy
enough task when the kidneys' are well,
but a cold, chill, fever or some thought
less exposureis likely to irritate, inflame
and congest the Jkidueys and interrupt
the purifving work.
Then the aching frequently begins and
is often accompanied by some signs of
bladder trouble. Thousands testify to
the wonderful merit of Doan s Kidney
Pills, a remedy for the kidneyBonly,
that has been used in kidney troubles 50
years. You will make no mistake in
following this Hood River woman's ad
vice. Mrs. W. II. Davis, Seventh and Col
umbla Sts., says: "I was so completely
run down that I could hardly drag my
self around, and for three months, I
wasn't able to do a thing. My back
ached and 1 felt so weak that at times I
could hardly stand up. My kidneys
acted irregularly. My limbs began to
bloat and I could hardly get my shoes
on, as my ankles were to' badly swollen.
My head ached and I felt miserable all
over. Medicine gave meonly temporary
relief until I began nsing Doan's Kidney
Pills. When I had finished four boxes,
I felt like a different woman. I was
able to do all my work and could get
around better than I had been able to
for years. Since then, I have enjoyed
the best of health.''
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim

Kidney Pills- the same that Mrs. Davis
had. Foster-Mil burn Co., Mfgra., Buf
