men to take up farming which is so
we'll illustrated here in Hood River
where over 100 of the l25 mem bers OF
the University Club are apple grow
ers.
In the absence OF DIR. A. G. Smith,
president of the Oregon Good Roads
Association, H. b. Chapman, OF Port
land, spoke on the subject OF Good
Roads," He urged the necessity of
modern highways and struck key
note in saying that the land 10 front
of a mans farm was the most valuable
land he owned If 1t had a good road
on 1t. Multnomah county, which has
the test devel oped highways in the
state ia now willing through the new
organization to share with the other
counties Of Oregon the benefits OF her
expel ienoe in building highways.
Rev. j. G.. Tate, responding to the
sentiment, Goods Country, was the
last speaker on the program and,
opening his remarks In a humorous
fashion, he held his hearers through
an excellent address. He said that
Gods Country must contain God q
people, and that In all his travels, he
had never seen place where there
was a better exhibition of Gods men
and His beauty than In Hood River
valley. The honest pack OF apples not
only gives us good reputation In the
world, but 1t sets an excellent exam
pie to the generation which is growing
up about us. Gods Man 10 not nee.
essarity the man who goes TO church
and mumbles prayers, but he is the
man who makes 1t easier for his fel
low man to be good. He said that sit,
uatsd here Ia this beautiful valley the
people OF Hood River should gather
up the beauty and fertility OF the
land and reflect 1t In their lives. In
that way, he said In closing, Hood
River can put as good product on
the man market as 1t can ON the apple
market.
At the close of the regular toast lisi
Tosstmaster Early called on Frank A.
Cram, who started la to toast the new
officers of the club. Before he had
said many words he broke forth in
song and, although the ditty loses
mel ody to which Mr.. Cram adapted il
the verses are printed here.
Here's to the board,
The board of 1910.
All live wires, each
And every one Of them. .
"Cultas" Charley Hall,
ls the president Of this bunch.
II you think that he can't go some
Then you have the wrong hunoh.
There is vice president Hartwig
Sitting right over there,
When the president is absent
He occupies the chair
And u. o. BlsnGhar, too,
Is always right in line
He is true blue aud he gets
There every time.
While Ernest G. Smith
ls a lawyer of renown,
The ladies all declare he's
Ibe handsomest man in town.
Our Toastmaster Early
| he never does get sore
When we ask him for special +.
To be ready just at tour.
In our Judge Derby
We all take pride.
He favors better roads
And breaches sermons on the side.
most forgot friend Osborne
| Some call him Jack for short,
He rakes In the money,
He's "hyas" tennis sport.
With Secretary Skinner 4
Bringing up the rear,
He's four time winner
So there's nothing there to fear.
When II comes to new members
lie has 'em beat mile.
So we'll set 1t at 500,
That will hold him for awhile.
So give three cheers
| For the board of 1910.
A set or ring tailed boosters
Every one of them.
