EBERT HUBBARD TO
VISIT HOOD RIVER

Ebert Hubbard ERA Elbertus, "
philosopher, editor of the Philistine
and Fra magazines, author of Little
Journeys" and founder and leader of
the Roycroft community of East
Aurora, N. Y, will visit Hood River
in February if the negotiations now on
between him and Charles A. Moseley,
James f. Montgomery and Charles l..
Wheeler, of this city, carry through.
Mr.. Hubbard has written a great many
entertaining articles and is widely
known throughout this country. He is
most original sort of man, and a
pleasing lecturer. His magazines
which are put up on novel lines, are
pretty we'll filed with his rather un-
conventional preachments on things
social, political and religious. The
Journeys" which are in truth essays
on many famous people contain bio
graphical sidelghts which have added
considerable at least to the interpre-
tations of the lives of the persons of
whom he has written. He is the
author of many other works. mostly Of
critical nature, and his widest known
work is 1.-The Message To Garcia. -
AS head of the Roycrofetrs, MIR. Hub
bard holds a unique position. This
group pride themselves in doing things
with their hands and the products of
the community, whether printing,
books, mission furniture, arts and
crafts metal work, rugs or flower
seeds, are always of the highest order
both in utility. and artistic composition.
Mr.. Hubbard has large following
all over the world and visit to Hood
River would probably result in his
having considerable to say Of this
section both in his lectures and
writings. Just what lecture from the
repertoire of Mr. Hubbard will be
given here, is not known but it is to
be Heart to Heart Talk, what
ever the subject. In writing to MIR.
Moseley recently, Mr.. Hubbard said
he would be in the Northwest during
February and hoped very much that a
date could be arranged for him to
speak in Hood River as he had desired
very much to visit this valley and the
opportunity would be at hand when he
came here to lecture.
