valve-in-head
motor
The Chevrolet valve-in-head motor is the di-rect-application-of-power
type. Gasoline vapor is
introduced directly into the cylinder head and is
exploded flatly against the piston head, just like a
hammer striking a nail squarely on the head.
Every bit of power from the explosion is uti
lized to turn the fly wheel there is absolutely no
waste.
In all "other types of motors the gasoline is
introduced into a side-chamber, where it is ex
ploded. The force travels "around the corner" to
the piston head and a loss in power results.
And every Chevrolet is valve-in-head powered.
The "Four Ninety" Roadster at $701.85, Touring
at $787.50. And also the "F-A" model Baby
Grand Touring and Royal Mail Roadster at $1140.
Every Chevrolet is completely equipped. Prices
f. o. b. Hood River, Ore., war tax included.
Write or call for a copy of the booklet :
"Squarely on the head." It tells all about the
valve-in-head motor and its use in motor cars,
aeroplanes and submarines.

LITTLE INTEREST
PRE-PR1MARY CALM REMARKABLE
But Few Candidates fur State Offices Have
Visited Here -Interest in County
Elections Is Meagre
A remarkable pre-election calm pre
vails in Hood River. Out of the scores
I of aspirants for nomination at Friday's
primaries, less than a half dozen have
visited here. But two of the guberna
torial candidates. Dr. J. E. Anderson,
Republican aspirant, ami Starkweather,
seeking the lemocratie nomination,
have visited here. One rarely hears
the election mentioned, and Firday's
vote will likely be the lightest polled
here in recent years. Governor Withy-
ombe will poll a heavy vote in Hood
River county. Having frequently vis
ited here w hen he was director of the
Oregon experiment station he is well
known through the orchard districts.
A strong Olcott sentiment, however,
prevails among the business and pro
fessional men. Ixmis J. Simpson's
vote will not be light.
The interest in nominations for coun
ty unices is meagre. But two offices
are contested. Geo. T. l'rather is op
posing Jasper Wickham, Republican
incumbent, for county assessor. The
most interesting contest is developing
in the race for coroner. S. E. Bart
mess, incumbent, is being opposed by
C. C. Anderson.

MRS. RAVLIN TELLS
OF NEW DRESSINGS
The Hood River Chapter was repre
sented at the big Red Cross conference
in Seattle last week by Mrs, C. N.
Ravlin and Mrs L. S. Ainsworth, of
the surgical dressings department.
Every Chapter in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Alaska was represented, un
der direct orders from the National
Red Cross headquarters in Washing
ton. The conference was held at the
University of Washington, where sev
eral of the large assembly rooms were
given over to the work. The Hood
River representatives were quartered
at the residence of Dean Roberts, of
the University.
"The work was very intensive,"
says Mrs. Ravlin in commenting" on
the conference. "Special instructors
were sent out from Washington to in
struct in the new dressings which the
Northwest division will be called upon
to produce. We had a great deal to
crowd into the few days we were there
and not a minute was wasted. Our
quarters were within a stone's throw
of the building in which we worked,
and the University cafeteria, which is
famous all over the Northwest, was
located in the same building.
"The Hood River workers are go
ing to find the new dressings very in
teresting and some of them very com
plicated. What is known as the 'front
line parcel' is the most complicated of
all. This is the individual parcel or
dressing which is'supplied to the Red
Cross dugouts in the front line treiu'h
: es. The wounded receive their first
treatment here and on aocout.t of
s space eveything must be iti very con
densed form. This parcel, which is
compactly packed in a muslin bat:,
consists of one xs absorbent pad, four
4x4 gauze compresses, four tampans,
one gauze packing with swivel band
age, one applicator and two gauze roll
bandages.
"The new sphagnum moss dressings
will effect a tremendous savintr in cot
ton. This is what they are intended
for. as the great cry now is to save
cotton for munitions. Not a shred of
cotton is to I wasted. Sphagnum
moss has four times the absorbent
qualities of cotton and is very interest
ing to work with. This material is
practically a clear gain, as it costs the
Red Cross next to nothing except ac
tual shipping charges. In the Hood
River allotment last month over $2ou
worth of cotton was used. The moss
dressings or pads, when completed,
are put through a winger to compact,
rolled and packed six to a' muslin bag.
The muslin bags and refugee garments
w ill probably be the future work of
the auxiliaries anil Junior Red Cross
for sometime.
"One thing that was impressed upon
the delegates was that the hit and
miss shipments whereby Chapters have
shipped about anything and everything
they had a mind to make are to be a
thing of the past. The Red Cross now
knows to a certainty just what is
needed and each Chapter will be called
upon for a certain allotment of a speci
fied article. This allotment must not
be exceeded and nothing but the article
or articles specified must be shipped."
HOOD RIVER-MOSiER
ROAD NOT ABANDONED
Recent rumors to the effect that the
State Highway Commission would
abandon construction of the Hood Riv-er-Moser
section of the Highway for
this year are contradicted by a letter
just received by County Judge Blowers
from S. Benson, chairman of the Com
mission. Mr. Benson says that but a single
contingency, the failure of the federal
government to permit the state to is
sue bonds for the work, will prevent
construction of the important stretch
of highway, which will eliminate the
almost impassable grade between Hood
River ami Mosier over the hills, this
season. Since the government is urg-

ing the construction of such "main line
highways as an aid to rail transporta
tion, it is considered that the approval
of the bonds will be assured.
R. H. Scott, resident engineer for
the Commission, says the Hood River-
Mosier stretch of road, which will car
ry the motoring tourist from the Cas
cade mountains into the more arid and
barren district of eastern Oregon, will
rival celebrated points in Multnomah
county. Terrace-like loops similar to
those of Multnomah county will be
constructed, and a 200-foot tunnel,
with open windows, like that at Mitch
ells Point, are called for bv the plans.
The construction work will likely be
the heaviest the state will ever be
called on to engage in.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
DISCUSSES TAXES
At a meeting of the Commercial club
Monday night taxpayers proposed the
initiation of plans for the elimination
of all non-essential expenses, and bv
the cooperation of all representatives
of all districts of the county and coun
ty officials an effort will be made to
prevent an increase of taxes the com
ing year, despite the rising cost of
road construction and other expenses.
Instead of waiting until the annual
meeting of the budget board in Decem
ber, it is proposed that a study of con
ditions be launched a year in advance
for the purpose of making ' a judicious
elimination of expenses that do not
seem necessary.
The tax meeting, one of the largest
recently held at the Commercial club,
was first proposed by H. F. Davidson,
heavily interested in fruit lands and
one of the county's largest taxpayers.
Assessor Wickham addressed the
meeting and dispelled an erroneous
impression that has prevailed here to
the eflect that the assessor was re
sponsible for the high allotment of the
cotinty for state taxes. Mr. Wickham
pointed out that this allotment was
made by the State Tax Commission.
Service of the Oregon-Washington
telephone Co. was subjected to an in
vestigation at the meeting. Complaint
is made that rural service ot the com
pany is almost intolerable at times.
Smithson, of the telephone company,
present at the meeting, explained that
disturbances were caused by proxim
ity of high voltage cables of the Pacific
Power & Light Co. He offered to co
operate with the club in every way to
remedy the situation and stated that
Manager Law, of the power company,
was assisting him.
HIGH SCITOOLPLAY
IS WELL RECEIVED
With "The Rivals" as their vehic
the High School Girls' Chorus, under
the direction of Mrs. C. 1L Henney,
gave a pleasing entertainment at the
high school auditorium Wednesday
night. Students of the grade schools,
impersonating imps and brownies.
danced and sang in choruses. The
performance was said to have been one
of the best ever rendered at the local
school.
The students in their songs were ac
companied by a six-piece orchestra.
Exchange Meeting Tomorrow
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Fruit Growers' Exchange will be held
tomorrow night at the office of the
tipping concern at the foofc of State
street. Plans for the season will be
discussed.

men met last night for a conference at
the Mount Hood hotel.
Elton Watkins, of Portland, will as-
sif-t Mr. McCullagh in the Hood River
campaign. Oregon's quota has been
set at ijV.oO.OOO, of which Portland will
raise $2.")i,uik). Hood River county's
quota is $ 1,0'H).
Hie headquarters of both the city of
Portland and the state campaigns will
be at Liberty Temple, Portland. The
Ked C ross War fund dollar is reallv
$1.02, for of every dollar subscribed to
the Red Cross in the drive last year
$1.02 has been available, the two cents
representing interest.
The funds subscribed will be depos
ited 75 per cent to the credit of the
American National Red Cross for war
work abroad aijd 25 per cent for the
war work of the local Chapter. Not a
ent will be expended from the war
fund for the expenses of the campaign
in any way. Eleven hundred dollars
was allowed Oregon by National head
quarters from membership dues and
this has been expended on the printing
of receipt books, pledge cards, etc.
1 he expenses of the state campaign
will be raised by voluntary subcrip
tioiis in Portland and by Chapters
throughout the state, the local cam
paigns, both in Portland and through
out the state being handled in the same
manner. So far as is known, the Red
Cross war drive is the only fund in
which this procedure is rigidly carried
out.
In Portland it is announced the en
tire campaign will be over in two days.
With the exception of $11,000,000,
which will be expended or contracted
before June 1, the $100,000,000 origin
ally subscribed to the Red Cross has
been expended.
Morton Criticised for Idle Farm
Much local criticism is being direct
ed at J. W. Morton for his failure to
arm his large ranch along the Colum
ila river just north of the Ruthton
hill, in former years, leased to T. D.
Calkins, the farm has produced a
greater amount of hay and vegetables
than any other of the county, and local
people express the feeling that it
should be worked to the maximum
point during the period of the war be
cause of the worldwide food shortage.
County officials, because of intima
tions that Mr. Morton has made, fear
that bin action in letting his farm lie
idle forecasts a claim for damages be
cause of a temporary disturbance to
his farm's water system by work over
the Ruthton hill section of the High
way. Road crews have gathered up all
stones hurled onto the Morton farm by
blasts, and, it is stated, the water sys
tem will soon be restored. The claim
is further made that water is not nec
essary at this season of the year for
Mr. Morton's river bottom farm, the
larger portion of which lies at a great
distance from the Ruthton hill road
work.
Graveling Contract Let
The contrac t for grading the Colum
bia Highway between Hood River and
Cascade Locks was awarded Tuesday
to the A. 1). Kern Co., which is now
engaged in grading links of the road.
The contract calls for the distribution
of 20,000 yards of gravel and a cost of
$50,000.
R. A. Klein, an engineer of the State
Highway Dcpartment.here from Salem
yesterday, says that the Highway will
be passable about June 1. Where the
new grade is not opened detouring
trails will be constructed. The gravel
for the Ruthton hill section of the new
highway will be hauled from a county
gravel pit just west of the city. The
contract calls for the completion of
the graveling by September i.
Democrats Endorse Judge Wilson
Following a precedent set by the
Wasco county committee, the Hood
River County Democratic Central com
mittee has adopted a resolution endors
ing the candidacy of Judge Fred W.
Wilson, Republican incumbent, who
seeks nomination for circuit judge for
Hood River and Wasco counties. The
resolution commends the non-partisan
judiciary plan.
The two committees have voted to
instruct Democrats of the two counties
to write in the name of Judge. Geo. C.
Blakely, of The Dalles, as a running
mate for Mrs. Alexander Thompson for
Democratic nomination for joint repre
sentative from the two counties.
. Red Cross Work Called Off This Week
Sudden orders from division head
quarters issued last Saturday re
quested all Chapters to cease work this
week until the new quotas were sent.
It was unfortunate that such orders
came at a time when the local Chapter
was preparing to speed up production
to the nifiximum, but division head
quarters did not desire ti have mater
ial used up that would probably not be
called for in the next allotment.
The new quotas are expected to be
issued this week and in all probability
the local work will again be under full
headway by next Tuesday,
o
