ATTENDANCE GROWS
AT CHURCH MEETING
Dr. Mcbride Preached Last Night on
Sowing and Reaping-Another
Sermon This Evening.

Last night saw an increased attend
ance at the meetings being held in the
United Presbyterian church. The sub
ject discussed was Sowing and Reat-
ing" Vice begets vice and virtue
virtue. The present great war is but
the result of the sowing of great
armies and navies and the pride and
jealousy engendered through such
sowing. Many illustrations were CIV
en- from actual life as TO the results
OF habits of youth finding a harvest
in later life and even in the lives or
children and children's children.
Tonight will end the series except
the Sabbath SERVES. The sermon for
tonight will deal with sin and its cure
and the closing one on Sabbath will
deal with the progress of the church
down through the ages, showing the
advance which has been made from
century to century.

4 WINTER TONIC

Why is it that some people keep well
all winter while others, less exposed to
cold and damp, suffer with colds, grip,
pleurisyy pneumonia and all the ills OF
the season?
Thin blood and debility are the causes
of much sickness in winter. When the
blood is thin and there is oxygen starva-
ton in the tissues of the body, poisons
are retained that should be eliminated
and there is lowered resistance to dis.
ease.
Rheumatism disappears when the blood
is built up and does not return il the
blood is kept rich.
The aiter-cfccts of grip arenevef cured
until the blood is built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills enrich the
blood and enableit to carry moro oxygen,
to nourish the starved tissues in debility,
to soothe the innamcd membranes in
rheumatism, to quiet the nerves in neu-
ralgia and sciatica and to expel the lin
gering germs after the fever and influenza
Of grip have passed. All winter DR.. VIII
liamss Pink Pills should be in every
house, ready for use. You can get them
now at the nearest drug store.

At HAMILTON.

On last Monday evening, I visited
the Hamilton troop at their regular
meeting and we had very interesting
time together. The program includ-
ed little drill work, few lively
new games and little practice IN
wall scaling. This was done by con-
structing the necessary pyramids
against the wall of the room until the
top man could easily reach over a
ten foot height. The rest Of the
operation which could not be demon
strated, was explained in detail, and
the boys are anxious to try it on a
regular wall. Besides this, the pamph-
let's were distributed and questions
answered about the field meet. With
a little enthusiastic yell practice, the
meeting adjourned at 800 p. m. Say,
but those boys can sure yell.
wouldn't wonder if they had to repair

The basketball season is near its
close, what next? / have talked with
several OF the members of Troops l

unanimous opinion that the wise thing
to do now is to drop all other ath-
letics and concentrate all energies on
the field meet, as it will be absolute
ly necessary, in order to make good
showing, to begin practicing at once.
1t is the plan OF the management to
have the ten foot wall used in the
wall scaling event, built soon and all
troops who can reach the grounds, will
be privileged to use it for practice.

The electric companies of the U. s..
have instituted nation wide propa-
eanda associated with other business
interests to disseminate to the people
of the country the soundness OF the
financial strata of the nation and the
prosperity at the present time, yelled
under the continued assault of the
calamity bowler"
The avowed purpose OF the move
ment is "a direct slap at so called
hard times" While the electrical IN
terests will have charge of the work
it was proposed to cooperate with
other large industries. The campaign
will eliminate in an electrical and
prosperity week" some time next fall.
Ambitious and exhaustive plans are
being discussed by those promoting
the campaign.
The press agent OF the society gives
some of the plans for the movement
as follows:
aGreat national advertising cam
paigns will be carried on in the news
papers and magazines, while thou
sands OF electrical signs will fash
messages Of prosperity to citizens in
cities from coast to coast. Electrical
shows and carnivals will be held
everywhere, ranging in size from the
electrical exposition in the Grand
Central palace to smaller affairs in
little towns on the western plains.
Cities everywhere will be ablaze with
light. Each city will have its own
Great White Way Mayors and city
officials will be urged to cooperate,
and many have already promised to
get back of this big prosperity move
ment to make it great success"
Z The origination of this great move
ment by such an influential division
of industry as the electric companies
are will prove to be of great benefit.
The very fact of the work done by
these companies will afford means of
advertising and giving the desired
publicity to the campaign.

HIKE WEEK.

Beginning March 20 and continuing
till April 8, the boy scouts of KeokuN
will conduct hikes every day in the
week if the weather permits, and the
weather has three weeks to get ready
for it in, and that ought to be long
enough. Every hike will have a par
ticular purpose and there will be
hikes for every troop and possibly
one for school boys who are not
scouts, to show them what scouting is.
Watch for the schedule next week.
Also watch for announcement Of a
big mass meeting of the three troops.

"A Scouts Honor"

"A SCOUTS Honor.
A scouts honor is to be trusted. He
violates his honor by telling a lie or
by cheating or by not doing exactly a
given task. He should not have to
have somebody watch him all the time.
A scout once went to groceryman
and applied for a job. The grocery-
man saw at once that he was scout
by his badges and so concluded to
find out what kind of a boy he was.
The groceryman told him to return
later, and after the boy had gone, he
called up the scout master OF the
troop that this scout belonged 10.
He asked the scout master what kind
of boy this boy who had applied for
the Job, was, and received the ar
swer that the boy was good in most
respects, but would cut up when the
scout masters back was turned. The
groceryman thought about this ana
concluded that If boy could not be
trusted during his scout meeting, he
could not be trusted in the store and
consequently the boy did not get the
job.
Then again, scout must be trust
ed not only in big things but also in
little things as in scout meeting, Ill
the school room and at home. He
must be trusted by the teacher and by
his father and mother. Such a scout
is an honor to his troop and to the
great brotherhood to which he be-

PIG OPPORTUNITY
FOR SCHOOL BOYS

A conference Of far reaching import
ance 10 the live stock industry Of the
Pacific northwest was held at the Port
land Union stOckyards few days ago.
As a result Of this conference, arrange
ments have been made whereby It will
be possible to send out 900 or more
brood sows to the boys and girls Of
Oregon, these animals being treated
for, and guaranteed sgains. cholera.
The sows are not TO be given away but
are 10 be sold at prices ranging from
SIS TO S25 each, and in payment the
st0ckyards people will accept a note
running eight to ten months at s per
cent interest, the note to be indorsed
by the father or guardian Of the boy or
girl and approved by the county school
superintendent.
The family of infant porkers will
appear in four or five weeks after ship
ment Of the SOW, and the boy or girl
will have plenty Of time before their
note natures to bring the pigs to a
marketable age and dispose of them to
the best advantage, paying oil the note
with the proceeds of the sale. In the
work done by the hog clubs of the
northwest last year. an ll-yesr-old girl
at Washougal, Wash. made a. clear
profit of $79 on one brood sow. In this
instance two litters, "a pigs in all, were
produced. Local educators have ex-
pressed the opinion that this was the
most important step ever taken in this
line of work, and so far as known the
first movement of the kind ever started
in the United States.
Any pupil of the Hood River county
schools desiring to secure one Of the
fine hogs offered should communicate
at once with Prof. c. D. Thompson,
county school superintendent.
