The credit of the United States was so hitfh and unquestionable that in 1!)00, two years after the Spanish war, 2 per cent bonds were olFered at par and oversubscribed. This is a financial performance no other nation has ever equalled. United States 4' l bonds in 1S88 sold as hijrh as ll'.O and in 1M01 brought i:.!!.5 on the stock market. The United States has never defaulted on any of its bonds. Not one of its bondholders has ever lost a cent of principal or interest except those who volun tarily have taken losses by selling their bonds in a period of temporary price depression. One hundred cents on the dollar, principal and interest, has the United States always paid.

B U Y WAR SAVINGS STAMPS RED CROSS MONEY FOR SI PPUES IS NEEDED The Big Spelling Bee to Be Held at the High School March 16 Will Help The NoMe Cause ; Every week a motor, truck or dray may be seen to drive up to the Com meiial club arid leave two or three large boxes, these boxes are tilled with yarns, muslins, gauzes and an as sortment of cloths to be converted into Ked Cross supplies by the women of Hood River Chapter. Week in and week out approximately 2l0 earnest women, many of whom have brothers or sons in the nation's fighting ranks. meet at the work room. As they have become skilled to their tasks the wom en work, with a renewed speed, and at the present time they are utilizing in their sewing and knitting classes the Chatpter'u allotment of $.jOO monthly. $ his constant drain on the funds oi the chapter has presented a problem for the ways and means committee. Unless some means are found to retill the treasury, it is stated by Secretary Ravlin, subscriptions must soon be taken among the Hood River citizens. The Chapter raised enoiarh money for a month's supplies by two unique par ties, one given Ihanksgmng night and the other on Washington's Birthday. The two upper stories of the Heilbrori- ner building were utilized for the par ties, and both card playing and dancing were participated in by those attending. Recently the Oregotnan discussed ed itorially the experiments a middle western college professor had indulged in with spelling contests among his pupil. The Oregonian, in the course of its comments, suggested the revival of the old fashioned spelling bee, and this suggestion instigated the plan of the Hood River Chapter to partacipate in one of the old lusluoned forms of entertainment for raising funds for the Chapter's supply department. March It), a Saturday night, has been set as the date tor the proposed con test. All stores have b'n asked to close at six o'clock, and instead of eating supper at home, as usual, each couple is asked to bring lunch for two to the high school auditorium, where the suppers will be auctioned olf. This plan will raise a neat Bum. it is fig- ured. An admission of 25 cents will be charged for the spelling bee, in which all piominent men and women of the valley will participate. Judge Wilson, of The Dalles, will be the pre siding olheer and will pronounce the words. Secretory Ravlin states that the Ked Cross sewing and knitting classses to date have used about $3,000 worth of material. All bills are paid to date and the Chapter still has on hand the following items: 2,000 yards of out ing flannel, 1,500 yards of canton Haiv nel, 1,100 yards of unbleached muslin, 100 pounds of Jyarn and $ll.r worth of white thread. the following supplies have been manufactured by llooil Kiver s zealous women: 12,000 surgical dressings, HO muslin bandages, tiOO pairs of pa lamas, 100 bathrobes. fciU bed shirts and drawers, lt8 operating gowns, operating leggings, 75 operating hel mets, 100 operating caps, ;ir0 knitted wash cloths, lot) bed sheets, fit) oper ating sheets, 150 pillow slips, !(Kl ' tow els, 175 hot water bottle covers, .'500 trav covers, 200 napkins. .Jolt knitted sweaters, 400 pair ot woolen socks 250 pairs of wristlets, ;H)0 mutllers.

When the customary time for luncheon ar rived the reception was turned into a food conservation discussion, with County Food Administrator Gibson presiding. A talk was given by Mrs, J. K. Ferguson on uses of substitutes. "We had to override much objection to carry out our program, says Mrs. Anna Edgington, of the reception com mittee, "but we decided to have an in tellectual feast rather than one for the inner man." Welcoming talks were delivered bv the following ministers : Rev. E. C Newham, of Pine (irove, Kev. M. I. Hutton and Rev. P.M. ( arpenter. On ? behalf of the church board J. R.

The food administrator is also send ing to all families of the citv a circa lar appeal from the National Food Ad ministration that urges every vacant lot be planted to garden. The garden appeal says in part : "A recent census was taken of foods on hand in Oregon homes. The most startling fact observed was the general absence of any quantities ot vegeta bles, notwithstaning the grave need of using these to save wheat, meat and sugar. Next year we must tell a (lif erent story. For summer use, canning or drying, plant peas, beans, sweet corn, tomatoes and baby beets ; for winter storage plant potatoes.cabbage, celery, squash, and especially root crops such as parsnips, carrots, beets and turnips. cantonment arrived here Sunday after noon attached to the westbound Oregon-Washington limited, the Red Crs 'anteen committee, members ot which meet all trains, began trundh'.g out boxes of apples and distributing inem.

The boy was out of reach U f..rc the money could lie returned. While the .Mosier man ran alongside the tram he heard another boy calling him by name. He recognized a laa tmm his former home town in Indiana. , Mr. Scearce has turned the dollar over to the canteen committee for the purchase of more apples. 0 O MATINEE AT THE LIBERTY TODAY The new Liberty, the latest thite in moving picture theatres, will open toay with a mtrtinee.

BAKED APPLE STORY HELD MISLEADING A recent comment on the Glacier of the scarcity of baked apples for Hood River visitors was misleading, accord ing to Mrs. (.'. A. Hell, of the Mount Hood hotel. "We always serve baked apples," says Mrs. Bell, "as well as apples pro pared in any way the patron desires. The only time we do not have baked apples, is wten the Hood Kiver apple supply is temporarily consumed. "This occurred several years ago. It was between the apple season and the strawberry season. Apples were all gone, and the berries were late that year. We had a visitor from Virginia, who made an annual visit to Hood River. Our old Chinese cook, however, was not to be outdone. He served the visitor with a dried"apple pie. "Not long ago Geo. H. L. Sharp dropped in one morning for breakfast. He told us that the baked apple he had was one of the best he had ever tasted, although he had traveled from Boston to Portland." h J. H. Hazlctt was in Cascade I-ocks last Thursday evening to attend a meeting of the Knights of Pythias lodge of that city. When he assessed the maximum pen alty of from five to 10 years against Philip Solem. 22 year old slacker who pleaded guilty Monday to the crime of placing obstructions on the O.-W. K. & N. track near Lindsay creek last FrtVy, an obstruction that," according to the belief of railway officials, came wiin a narrow margin of wrecking the line's fast limited train, eastbound. Judge Wilsoit Tuesday niffrning ex pressed the wish that he might have been able to imtK'se a sentence that would carry Solem to the front lim trenches of the tiring line. By his actiorW Solem, who was re cently released from serving a 60 day jail sentence in Portland for failure U register under the selective draft act, has impressed officials who have btjn observing him as having committed his crime for the purpose of getting a pen itentiary sentence and thus escaping conscription. When arraigned Monday he made the plea of guilty without hesitation and asked the jud?e for a sentence as titiickly as it coujil I given. 2 In delivering his sentence Judge Wil son scored the young culprit -or his act of Friday. A huge bolt w" placed on the rail line at a point where the track parallels the edge of a daep current of tllO Columbia. Railroad officials have expressed the belief that the fast train would certainly have been wrecked but f.ir the fortunate discovery of the twit by I,. F. Stephens, Western Union line man.whose motor speeder was derailed by the obstruction. If the wreck had occurred the train would have plunged into the deep water. "I cannot conwive," said Judge Wil son "how one could be guilty of such an act as you, by your confession to officers and your plea here yesterday almit. You may consider it an ilftt of Providence that tbe passengwr train was not wrecked. In that case, many innocent women and children might have been killed in a horrible wreck. When you first made a plea of guilty, thus avoiding a jury trial and savini the county the sum of about $100, T thought of" taking this into considera tion in sentencing you. But you knew that you would inevitably have been convicted, and furthermore, having heard of your irregularity in regard to the draft act, I am made to believe that it is your one desire to get in prison, where you will not have to serve as a soldier. 1 wish it were in my power to send you to the trenches." i Judge Wilson, as he stated, invoked for the first time since he has been on the bench, n amendment to the crim inal code, adopted by the last legisla ture, which permits the court to impose as a minimum of indeterminate sen tences, in felony cases one half of the maximum punishment for the same. the only regret I have about your case, he stated, is that I am not able to make your punishment greater. But I believe that this war will be over be fore you are released from the state penitentiary." Ihe criminal docket of this term of court is one of the heaviest ever rt corded in Hood liJr county. Follow ing on the hews of the sentence im posed on young Solem the case of PhvhI Matheny, who is accused of lar ceny from the dwelling of Dr. T. L. Eliot, just south of toe city, was called. The caae of J. L. Allen, for mer minister, who was reoenUy indict ed on a charge of arson, the state hav ing set up that he bumM an apartment house at Cascade Uicks for insurance, follows the Matheny case. 1 he Davis divorce case win be called immediately after the. criminal docket is completed. . Matheny, found guilty by the jury, was sentenced to troni six months to three years in the penitentiary. CITV COUNCIL DIS CUSSES DAM WORK The cila council by tentative discus sion of its members Monday night, propose! to join with the county and the State Game and Fish Commission in an appropriation Cor replacing a counter dam near the mouth of Hood river in jarder to divert the course of the river where it tlr$s into the Co lumbia. Through joint appropriations several years ago a dam was built aud the course of the stream changed, but recent freshets have torn out the work. o The city is interested in the pro posed work, because the dam will di vert the river channel in wch manppr as to cause it to keep the mouth of the outfall sewer clean. At present the sewer's mouth is above water. By changing the outlet of Hood river to a course that will flow paralell to the Columbia, the stream is rendered at tractive to salmon on the upstream run. The river has been declared a Spawning stream, and no net tinning is permitted in rt. The county will be asked for an appropriation for the dam, sportsmen declaring that the completion of the promised work will make Hood river the finest stream for steelhead and salmon fishing in the state.
