This yelled reference to the National
City Bank Is elucdated 10y a footnote
which gives in full a statement issued by
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo.
That statement was the one which Mr..
McAdoo gave out a few weeks after the
Inauguration Of the Wilson Administration.
In the statement he said that the Ma

through Mr.. Allies. vice-presdent OF the
Riggs National Bank OF WASHINGTON. hes
employed a clerk outside of the DEPART

office Of the Comptroller Of the Currency

made regular reports 70 the National city

STRANAHAN WILL
AGAIN MAKE RACE

G. H. Stranahan, who represented
Hood River and Wasco counties in the
lower house of the legislature last vim
ter, has announced his candidacy ON the
Republican ticket for nomination to
again make the race. Having long
been resident of the district, Mr.
Stranahan is well known both here and
in Wasco county. His colleague, DR..
j. E. Anderson, who was the 9th y
representative from Hood River and
Wacso counties. and who has signifed
his intention of again being a csndi-
date, has urged Mr.. Stranahan to again
enter the race, assuring him that he
will have strong support in Wssco
county.
Based upon the record for getting
results in the legislature last term, the
people of both Hood River and Waseo
counties have urged Mr.. iStranahan to
become a candidate for reelection as
joint representative of their counties,
and after carefully weighing the mat
ter Mr.. Stranahan has consented to be-
come a candidate.
1t will be remembered that through
the hard work of Mr.. Stranahan, Hood
River county was given an expert
mental station and the state appropri-
ated $4,000 to install it. The act
creating the night school was also
made a law, and today the city of
Hood River maintains night school
with regular attendance of about 45
scholars, consisting of young men and
women who labor during the day time
and strive to secure their education
at night. Mr.. Stranahan is an ardent
supporter of good roads over the state
as whole, and being an old settler
and for years resident of HOOD River
and Wasco counties. feels the urgent
need of good roads in these counties.

the funds available, and the advisibility
of holding bond election, and as a
means of getting an expression from

IN their songs and stunts that enthused
their hearers. On the entire program
there was not bad number. The

appreciated numbers was that of Lau-

Skipton plays beautifully and with an
abandonment that gives added pleasure
to his listeners. and yet precision in
his renditi0ns is not lacking. The

Letter From An Eastern
Business House to Geo.
e. Brett, Inc, Mankato.

Z must not look upon this opportunity
merely for money making. but rec
ogniie the large service we are called
upon to render humanity at large.
This means intense activity In
business. .,la -ns. .... ~
Fifth: Just at the present time
the mind Of the average man Is
obsessed with the idea OF an enor.
nous war. As soon as the Amerl-
can public begins to think, they will
discover that they have much to do.
Uncertainty will be changed to certain.
ty, money will be released, and manu-.
featuring 20 aheads as never before.
Every dollar, every square foot OF
ground. every grain. every hand.
,very wheel. every ship and every
railroad will find that II has not
Inly all II can do. but more than
I can do to take care OF what
IS in reality right now knocking at
our door.
sixth: Washington Is working
with intensity on the development
If the merchant marine. Lake steam
ers that are big enough TO traverse
The ocean will. with some slight
changes OF equipment be put into
condition to make foreign trips. The
smaller steamers that have been
more or less idle during the recent
slow period will be busy with their
lake work and even when we, the
American people, do our best, we will
find that we have not taken care OF
the demand that Is upon us.
"These times are making a new
epoch in history, for there will be
the quickest reaction after slow
period to times Of intense activity
that the world has ever seen.
Seventh: 1t seems almost that
mother nature, recognizing in ad-
vance the great need that there
will be for food stuffs, blessed US
kith such bumper crops as we have
never had before, knowing that II
would be up to We Americans to
feed and clothe, to shelter, to build
and to transport, while others are
worse than wasting their time in
active destruction.
Eighth: Prices will no doubt rise,
every manufacturers product will
show an increased value, and stocks
in stores will be worth more than a
hundred cents on the dollar.
Let us shake of the fears that
have recently taken hold Of Us and
realize the facts as they are.
I'VE suggest that you call all OF
your people together and discuss
with them these things; perhaps you
can read them this letter, for II IL
no less true that every ounce OF
brains, muscle or talent is called up
on for bigger responsibility in these
times of peace for us, than such
mental and physical ability would
be called upon were we engaged In
war.
The result. OF war is poverty, the
result of peace Is prosperity.
Prepare for prosperity. II Is COM
