THE OLD ORDER PARSES
The other day, before the cold snap
came on, while a west wind, of near
gale proportions was blowing, we no­
ticed somebody's Sunday Oregonian
whipping madly around a telephone
pole. It reminded us of some 15 or
20 years ago when such an incident
would almost certainly have caused
tbe runaway of a team. Do you re­
call that many cities had ordinances
prohibiting tbe scattering of paper oa
the streets for the special purpose of
eliminating a source of fright to
horses?
Today you never see a teamster,
extremely and excitedly busy trying
to bold a team of snorting steeds
while a piece of wrapping paper
blowa down the street. Indeed, there
are many things that were common
20 years ago that youngsters of today
never see. We would like to start a
column. entitled “The Old Order
Passes.’’ Who’ll I»' the first to recall
some oldtime Incidrat of frequent
occurrence that Is now but a memory?

Enough warnings have been sound­
ed lately to put everyone on guard
in Hood River county against com­
municable diseases among children.
Let the holiday period next week be
marked by keeping the children at
theij own home«.
Throughout the
city and county all activities that
ordinarily draw assemblies of young
children have been cancelled on or­
ders of health authorities.
If all
parents cooperate with authorities,
tbe spread of the disease can be
checked.
. A spectacle, never before witnessed
in Hood River was seen yesterday
about 10 o’clock. It waa Commodore
Dean wearing an overcoat. Commo­
dore suffered tbe Inconvenience of
«eektaV a plumber to repair a froaen
waterpips. At the instance of Mrs.
Dean, he donned an enormous great
coat, with one of those lamb’s wool
collars.
It was a complete disguise
for Commodore Dean.
Indeed, the
Commodore used to pride himself on
going tbe year around in his shirt
sleeves.
SINCE WHEN?
Journalistic errors are not infre-
qnent.
The best, however, that wo
have seen of late days was in the
current Better Fruit. It was:
Visiting in Portland a few days
ago, A. I. Mason, president of the
Hood River Apple Growers Associa­
tion. protested over the quality of
apples being served in tbe city's
hotels and restaurants. He said hie
association had better ones in Its
cull blns. Tbe associstlon can help
solve the problem by doing what it
can to prevent sale of orchard rnn
stuff to the fruit peddlers.
We understand that Better Fruit
gained the above interesting Informs

Portland newspaper.

One suggestion for a name for the
bread of the Hood River Bakery trav­
eled almost all the way across the
cootlneat.
It cease from Mrs. Gecu
Rader, of Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Her
letter to the bakery company follows:
“As we take the Glacier I take
pleasure in dropping you a Uae to
suggest a name for your bread. We
have a good bakery here in Upper
Sandusky, and on the wrapper ap­
pears the words, ‘Rat More Bread.’
There a delivery truck carries a big
picture of a line looking little boy
eating a piece of tbe delicious bread.
I suggest the name. Bat More Bread.’

Irene Bowpr, livee in Hood, River. It
