To the very smallest detail, the
Chevrolet reflects the ideals of the
makers to produce a really high
grade car at a popular price.
That the Chevrolet is more commonly
compared with cars selling at much high
er prices is justification for the conscien
tious effort of its manufacturer.
The new model Chevrolet "Four Nine
ty" Touring Car and Roadster, attain a
standard of excellence uncommon of cars
at these prices. This is a claim we would
he delighted to prove we could ask no
greater favor than to do so.
Would you have a good-looking car?
The Chevrolet has it in full measure.
VVouldyouhave strength? Vanadium steel
is used wherever unusual strength is re
quired. Would you have comfort? Prop
er spring suspension together with com
fortable upholstering and roominess meet
your comfort-wishes to the fullest de
gree. Would you have power and low
upkeep? The wonderful valve-in-head
motor with which each Chevrolet is
equipped provides power far in excess of
ordinary requirement or emergency; and
the direct-application-( if -power principle
insures maximum power on minimum
fuel. Twenty-live miles per gallon is a
common thing for the Chevrolet. And
the car is.' equipped.
Suppose you let us demonstrate that
we have not overstated Chevrolet quali

ONJUNE 5TH
MEN 21 SINCE JUNE MIST RETORT
Registrations Will Be Conducted by Draft
Boards at Voting Precincts the
Same as Last Year
Wednesday, June 5, is a date of great
importance to every man in the United
I years since registration day June 5,
j one year ago. For on this coming June
j 5 will be held another registration day,
! on which every man who has passed his
1 21st birthday since last June 5 must
register with his local draft, board.
This applies to non-citizens as well
as to citizens. No man who comes
within the age limit is exempted from
registering, unless he is already in the
military or naval service of the I'nited
States. And men 21 years old who for
any reason have been discharged from
the military or naval service must reg
ister June 5.
The registration w ill be conducted by
the local draft hoards throughout the
United States. Each draft hoard is re
quired to post publicly the location of
its registration place, and men 21 years
old must present themselves there June
f for registration. The registration
places will open on registration day at
7 o'clock in the morning, and will be
open until i o'clock that night.
No excuse will be accrpted for fail
ure to register. The burden of inform
ing himself of the time and place for
registration is by law placed on the
registrant himself. Failure to regis
ter is punishable by imprisonment up
to one year in jail.
Attempts to evade registration will
bring disaster to the evader. All city,
county, state and United States peace
officers have been specifically directed
to assist in bringing about a complete
registration of men 21 years old, and
to examine the registration lists and
report immediately to the federal au
thorities the names of any persons lia
ble to registration known by t hem to
have failed to register.
Men who are too ill to appear at tin
registration place in person must send
some competent person to the local
board to obtain a registration card with
authority to rill it out. This card when
tilled must be mailed or taken in per
son to the local board in time to be
filed on registration dav, Juite 5.
Provision is also made for registra
tion by mail of men 21 years old who
will unavoidably be absent from their
home jurisdictions on registration day.
All such persons should proceed im
mediately, without waiting for regis
tration day, to the local board nearest
to the place in which they happen to
be, and have their registration cards
made out by this board. The card must
then be mailed by the registrant, to
gether with a self-addressed and
stamped envelope for return of a reg
istration certificate, to the registrant's
own local board. As this registration
card must reach the local board by
June 5, men 21 years old who will be
absent from their home jurisdiction on
June 5 should make haste now to have
their registration cards filled out so
they can mail the cards without delay
to the proper board.
The War department has issued the
following official warning to all men
coming within the 21 year old age
limit :
"Caution- All male persons, citizens
of the United States, and all male per
sons residing within the United States
who have, since the 5th day of June,
11)17, and on or before the day set for
registration by the President's procla
mation (this coming June 5), attained
the age of 21 years, must register.
The only exceptions are persons in the
military or naval service of the United
States.'which includes all officers and
enlisted men of the regular army, the
navy, the marine corps, and the na
tional guards and naval militia, while
in the service of the United States, and
officers in the Officers reserve corps
and enlisted men in the Enlisted re
serve corps while in active service."
MERCHANTS WILL
MEET FOOD MEN
The merchants of Hood River will
meet tomorrow evening at the Com
mercial club with County Food Admin
istrator (iibson and representatives of
the State F'ood Administration for a
discussion of the plans of putting Ore
gon on an absolute wheatless ;basis.
The plans were launched last Sunday,
when the state was put on a five day
trial period in which merchants were
to sell no wheat (lour.
During the five day period Food Ad
ministration officials will meet with
merchants over the state in an effort
to work out the plan for a total ab
stinence. While the plan is urged by
the National Food Administration, it
is not a compulsory one. It is a vol
unteer plan of the Oregon Food Ad
ministration. Mr. Gibson says that a number of
families of Hood River have volun
tered during the past several weeks to
abstain from all wheat flour. More
than five barrels of flour have been re
turned to merchants.
WUILLE WILL BUY
Stockholders of the Fruit Growers'
Exchange by unanimous vote Friday
night accepted a proposition from Dan
Wuille & Co. for the purchase of the
cooperative agency's storage plant,
valley receiving warehouses and all
other properties. The Exchange for
the past five years has been affiliated
with the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change, of Seattle.
The Exchange will be operated
throughout the strawberry season with
F. W. Buff, who has been with the or
ganization, for "the past 11 months, in
charge of sales. Mr. Buff will also
close up all business of the agency.
The acquisition of this property will
greatly augment the growing business
of the purchasers, as heretofore fhey
have been unable to store or load in
the town of Hood River. Last year
they operated their own plant at Odell,
and received and loaded in four other
j warehouses operated under their man
jagement in the valley, besides their
own plant in White Salmon and other
houses owned or leased elsewhere.
For the last four years their shipments
have steadily increased until they have i
come to be recognized as a permanent
and substantial factor in the fruit bus
iness of the Northwest.
An English company, with Home
offices in London, they have exported
practically all their fruit to England,
France. Australia and South America,
and their returns to growers, ever
since their first shipments, have more
than doubled their patronage each suc
ceeding year. I.i.st year's business
was conducted under great handicaps,
no exports was possible but this year
the firm's American manager, Mr.
Oliver, extends hoie of again being;
able to get most, if not all of their i
apples across the water. I
The office of Ian Wuille & Co. in the I
First National Bank building w ill be
closed in a few days, and Mr. Woolpert :
will thereafter be found in the offices
of the former Exchange building. i

SUNDAY SCHOOL NOTES
At the recent County Sunday School
Association convention the matter of
collecting for publication matters of
interest from the various Sunday
schools of the county was considered.
W. C. Keck, whose address is Route
No. 1, Hood River, was appointed to
look into the matter further and if it
seemed feasible to arrange for the
printing of such news in our local
papers. The editors of both papers
have been visited and will cordially
handle the news from our schools if
gotten to them in good form. Super
intendents or secretaries of all the
Sunday schools in the county are asked
to send in good items of interest from
their respective schools at least once a
month. You may send to JVlr. Keck
until further notice through this col
umn. Shall we not make this an en
couragement to all the workers of the
county and thus make our schools a
greater benefit to all the people of the
county?
The following resolution was unani
mously passed at one of the Odell
schools lat Sundav : "We, the mem
bers of the M. E. Sunday school of
Odell, do unanimously endorse and
heartily agree with iir. Lewellen in
all that he said against cigarettes for
our soldiers at the I'irie Grove county
Sunday school convention. Also we
do heartily endorse the action of the
delegates who acted on the resolution
committee in condemning the distribu
tion of cigarettes to the soldiers.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
November ImU
Fourscore and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth on this
continent a new nation, conceived
in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are cre
ated equal. Now we are engaged
in a great civil war; testing
whether that Nation, or any Na
tion so conceived, and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion of
that field as a final resting place
for those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. It is
altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot
dedicate- we cannot consecrate
we cannot hallow this ground.
1 he brave men living ami dead,
who struggled here, have conse
crated it far above our poor power
to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember,
what we say here, but it cannot
forget what they did here. It is
for us the living, rather, to be
dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedi
cated to the great task remaining
before us, that from these hon
ored dead we take increased devo
tion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devotion-that
we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died
in vain - that this nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of
freedom--and that government of
the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the
earth.
The members of Canby Post, G. A.
R., accompanied by members of the
Woman's Relief Corps, will assemble
this morning at 1. 150 o'clock at the
Knights of Pythias hall, where they
will be met by membersjof the frater
nal body with their automobiles. The
veterans and women of the Corps will
be taken to Idlewilde cemetery by' the

ing the graves of departed comrades
with roses and spring flowers und in
observing ritualistic service over the
graves.
the old soldiers, their wives and
families and members of the Relief
Corps will return to the high school
dining rooms, where they will have a
picnic dinner.

BERRIES ARE RIPEN
ING VERY SLOWLY
Strawberries are moving from here
now at the rate of from If) to 30 erateH,
express shipments, daily. (.. W. Mc-
Cullagh says he does not expect a car
load of fruit before June 10. The cool
weather is delaying the ripening of the
berries.
Myron S. Smith, prominent grower
of Underwood, Wash., here Monday,
says that the crop of that district,
while late, will be of excellent quality
this year.
The harvest of strawberries began in
earnest Monday, when a free employ
ment office was opened here by C. B.
Green, of the United States Immigra
tion Bureau.
The first express shipment, a half
crate of fruit grown by J. L. I'easley,
waH forwarded Wednesday of last week
by the Fruit Growers Exchange. This
concern will inaugrate a new method
of handling berries this season. Grow
ers will deliver their packed fruit to
central assembling stations in the dif
ferent districts, and it will then be
called for by motor trucks operated by
the agency. Thus berries will be
shipped the same day they are picked.
Where growers do their own hauling.it
is said, many delay getting their fruit
to shipping stations in time to be load
ed out.
BELL EXPRESSES
THANKS TO LADS
"The fire boys of Hood River deserve
the greatest praise for their good
work," says C. A. Bell, of the Mount
Hood hotel, whose hostlery was with
out doubt saved from destruction last
week, when the fire boys, despite their
decimated numbers, 12 members hav
ing gone to war, rushed to the scene of
the blaze in the old American boarding
house.
"1 want to express my sincerest
thanks to the firemen," continues Mr.
Bell. "As a result of their efforts my
hotel sustanied only minor damage in
stead of going up entirely in smoke."
Mr. Bell's son, Fred, now in France
with a light artillery regiment, was
formerly a member of the fire depart
ment. Planer Workman Insane
John Matson, an employe at the
Wind River Lumber Co. planer,
brought here from Cascade Locks by
Deputy Sheriffs Long and Hunt, was
committed to the Eastern Oregon in
sane asylum Tuesday.
Matson rested under the hallucina
tion that an enemy was constantly
attacking him. At frequent intervals
he would slash the air with fist or an
open knife. The man also would stop
by the roadside on the street, or at his
work to remove his shoes and take off
his socks, turning them wrongside out
before returning them to hw feet. He
is said to have repeated this trick sev
eral times an hour.
