PORTLAND AUTO
SHOW APPROACHES
Though the reputed danger of a gas
oline shortage has been disproved and
it has been officially announced that
with even reasonable economy there is
more than enough gasoline to meet all
requirements, the war has been direct
ly responsible for improvements in
autmobile motors, adding greatly to
their gasoilne mileage. '
Visitors to the Portland automobile,
truck and tractor show, which will be
held in the Portland city auditorium
from February 7 to 13 inclusive, will
see these improvements on the latest
models of motor vehicles.
The show will be a great educational
exhibit. Its purpose is to show how
the automobile, the truck and the
farm tractor are doing their bit to help
win the war by adding to business,
industrial and agricultural efficiency.
The passenger automobile is no
longer a luxury but a business neces
sity. Ninety per cent of the cars
today are used by their owners in their
business. The extent to which auto
mobiles increase national ware effici
ency has been strikingly demonstrated
in Canada, where after three years of
war 100,000 new cars were purchased
last year.
At the Portland automobile show the
lateRt models of trucks and farm
tractors will be especially featured.
Trucks of all sizes and for every need
and farm tractors for the large farmer
and the farmer who cultivates only a
few acres will be shown.
Reduced fares to the automobile
show will be in effect on all railroads
THE' UNI.VERSAl.CAR
The Ford Sedan, $695 f. o. b. Detroit,
is a handsome enclosed motor car that
meets every demand in an up-to-date
enclosed car. A roomy interior seating
five; deeply upholstered with fine cloth;
plate glass sliding windows; silk curtains;
latest type of ventilating windshield; large
doors - everything for comfort, and the
everlasting regular Ford chassis to carry it,
all means safety with simplicity in opera
tion and the lowest cost for maintenance.
The real family car just as delightful on
the farm as it is in town. Come, see it.

great deal of favorable comment on i
account of its luxurious appointments,
and the demand it fills in all sorts of

It is splendidly uphosltered with a
fine quality of heavy whipcord cloth in
the latest plait folds. Large plate

accommodates three persons most com
fortably. The seat for the driver is
stationary, the other front seat hinged
so that it can be thrown forward out
of the way when necessary. Heavy
plate glass sliding windows in the
doors with the latest air and water
protectors, so that when the car is
closed it is both dust proof and water
proof. With windows lowered it is as
airy as an open car. Latest type ven
tilating windshield.
The car is now on display at the

MOSIER BOY WRITES
FROM HONOLULU
Expressing his sentiments regarding
the kindly attitude shown by the
Mosier people towards the welfare of
her soldiers and sailors, a Mosier boy
has sent the following letter from
Schofield Barracks, Hawaiin Territory :
' "To the Editor No doubt this letter
will come as a surprise to most of my
Mosier friends. But from a recent
letter I received from Mr. McGregor
in behalf of the patriotic citizens of
my little town, 1 am glad to learn that
I am not forgotten, and herewith beg
for the space in your paper to make
proper acknowledgment.
"The letter in question was, as I
said, from the people of Mosier and it
took issue to show the boys from our
little community who have enlisted in
the 'great army of Democracy' that
Mosier and its people are with us heart
and toul; that should we be called
upon to make the . supreme sacrifice,
we may do so gladly, knowing that our
people are with and for us, and that
our sacrifices, should we be called upon
to make them, cannot be in vain.
Such was the tenure of the letter sent
me. A letter of pride, of faith and
sincere good will towards men. It
was a letter meant to cher, and to
strengthen the resolve of us, when
acheing muscles and blistered feet cry
out their testimony that learning the
grim lesson of war, is not a pleasant
job. This was its errand and I beg
now to state that it was not written in
vain, for it gave me a finer incentive
to stick to the job till its finished.
"We regulars are now engaged in
trench warfare and intensive training.
Also in all the other grim methods
that are designed to kill. And shortly
no doubt, we will be ordered 'over
there as several 'arms' of our troops
have already embarked for 'some
where. '
"We shall all hail the order that
bids us go with joy. For it is hard to
wait, harder I believe than to go.
And even 'Paradise' becomes monot
onous when you have time for naught
but digging trenches and training con
stantly in the various methods of
battle. However I am not kicking and
I am glad that I was and am physically
fit to take part in the great drama.
"I should like very much to give my
old friends a brief description of the
land of tropical moonlight and and
wondrous 'hulu beauties'. But know
ing the limits of space accorded putlic
letters, and fearing to mar their
imaginative conception of this widely
minstreled isle, I forbear that pleasure
and will close with the sincere hope
that the coming year will bring the
peace that comes with victory to our
arms. And if this be not possible let
us hope fervently that we of the line
and you who unwillingly stay behind
will be bound more closely together,
fighting ever and to the end for
our President's noble doctrine that,
'The world must be made safe for
Democracy.'
"Again thanking the kind people of
Mosier for their interest in me, 1 beg
to remain, "Sincerely.

At the adjourned annual meeting of

Telephone Co. held Tuesday in the
Oddfellows hall, an entire new board
of directors was elected. An effort

two years under trying conditions and
desired that others assume the burdens
for a time.
The meeting was called to order by
J. M. Carroll. Chas. T. Bennett, sec
retary, recorded the minutes.
Either by proxy or appearing in
person, a majority of the stock held by
stockholders, there was represented at
this meeting 43 shares.

field and W. A. Husbands, was read
and accepted.
At the election of officers, J. M.
Carroll, Chas. T. Bennett and Geo.
Chamberlain, the present board of
directors, declined their nominations
reelection. Dr. C A. Macrum also
declined. In their stead the following
nominees were elected bv unanimous
ballott: W. A. Husbands, E. M.
Strauss, C. J. Littlepage, M. A. May
er, and G. C Evans.
R. D. Chatfield, J. N. Mosier and G.
L. Carroll were elected as auditing
committee for next year on unanimous
ballot
Big Score Made

high school defeated the Parkdale high
school team here Friday night by a

school team of that city by 105 to 2.

whose work was so sure and fast that
they made an average almost of two
baskets a minute.
