JUNCTION BRIGGS
 WINS FROM C.&A.
Jupiter Pluvius Attempts to Queer Revival of Great American Game-Another
 Struggle Booked for Next Sunday.

The Junction-Briggs nine walloped the C. & A. ball tossers s to 4 in rival of the grand old game of base ball at Warren Park Sunday after noon. Although not on either lineup, one Jupiter Pluvius, better known as common, unadulterated rain, butted into the game and made it necessary for the players to frequently duck un- der cover At that, however. the game was a good one and a good-natured crowd left the park satisfied with the exhibition. The c. & A band was on hand with a lively bunch of music, and this helped take the edge off the grouches caused by the aforesaid MT. Pluvius.
 Waldschmidt, a new boy in the dis trict, heaved for the Junction-Briggs and held the Indians to two hits until the last inning. Lefty Cothran pre- sided for the C. & A. and pitched a good. consistent game, in spite of the one-sided score. The two teams will clash again next Sunday. The box score for last Sundays game follows:

ALL FACTIONS CLAIM VEGETABLES SPEECH
 IS IN THEIR FAVOR
(By Review Leased Wire).

COPENHAGEN, July 30-German newspapers variously interpret the talk on peace by Dr. Michaelis. the German imperial chancellor to news paper men in the Berlin.
 The Berlin papers of the stamp of Yorwaerts profess to find in the chan eellor's concluding phrase a clear dis avowal of all annexation plans while the Pan-German and anneXationist or gans are no less satisfied with the dec larations and they. fay weight on the alleged designs of conquest entertain ed by Gearman's opponents as nullify- ing all overtures for moderate peace.
 The Tages Zeitung says the revela- tions made by the imperial chancellor show the necessity of material and comprehensive security for Germany's future in the peace treaty and proved how childish and comic are German discussions of peace based on under standing and subsequent reconcilia- tion.
 Varwaerts regrets the chancellor did not expressly state that Belgium would be given entire freedom.

A GREAT MEDICINE

That most successful of all remedies for woman's ailments, Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, owes its origin to a botanic receipt which came into the possession of Lydia E. Pink ham about 50 years ago.
 This recipe had proved so effective in the practice of a skilled physician that Mrs Pinkham procured the herbs and steeped and prepared them in true old-time fashion on her kitchen stove for her friends and neighbors who sui fered from woman's ailments. The fame of the virtues of this wonderful medicine spread. until it is today rec ognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.-Adv.

By the greatest of all purifiers.

A common mistake in the treat ment of scrofula has been the use of mercury and other mineral mix lures, the effect of which is to bot tie up the impurities in the blood, and hide them from the surface.

The union maintains a few pickets on the roads leading to the mines, but these, with the unusual number of idle men on the principal streets of the town, are the only indications of an industrial shutdown.

mrs. CHAS. H. CASTNER

An event of yesterday was the recep.
tion given by the Hood River Wom,
ans club to Mrs. Chas. H. Castner,
now serving her second consecutive
term as president of the Oregon State
Federation of Women's clubs and for
mer president of the local organization.
Mrs. Castner's reelection was unani-
nous. The reception was given yes.
terday by the local women as an ex.
preston of their pride in their fellow
worker and to carry in material form
their congratulations.
Mrs. Castner has long been promi-
nent in the affairs of Hood River wom-
an clubdom. She is now as prominent
in the affairs Of the women..of the state
and the Northwest. Mrs. Castner is
an indomitable worker. Step by step
she has advanced to the top rung Of
the ladder in Oregon clubs women's s
affairs, and her unanimous reelection
is concrete evidence that she has filled
that position with credit to herself and
the state. She has succeeded because
of her ability.to adapt herself to con-
ditions as she found them and to con-
front problems she faced with indis-
putable tact and diplomacy.
Whether OF not some of those in
Hood River are in accord with all of
the activities of women's clubs, they
will join III unanimous expression of
admiration Of the successful work of
Mrs. Castner and tender her their con-
gratulations.

TAXES TO DECREASE

Thank goodness, Hood River taxes
are to be less. Completing the 1918
budget of city expenses, the city coun-
Gil Monday night announced that the
city tax levy for the coming year
would be lls mills, less than that Of
last year by II mills. The levy is seq
regated as follows: General fund,
seven mills; streets. two mills; water
board sinking fund, two mills, and
county library, ! mill.
City Recorder Howe states that the
city's floating indebtedness is. $4, 36. OF
at the present time. Despite the fact
that next years tax will be less than
on this year, Mr.. Howe states that
next year will end with the floating in
debtedness practically wiped out. We
hope some way will be found to de-
crease the county budget proportion
atelv.
