PATRIOTIC SKETCH
OF GAYETY ACTOR
A|DSEN[|STMENTS

It IL a good thing that can serve
the cause OF patriotism in q twofold
way, according to Dave Marion, head
lining his own show at the Gaysty

called how his patriotic act caused
youths to enlist In the army and an
old Confederate veteran to renew his
faith In q united America when the
company was playing In Baltimore .
week ago.
Marion, in a patriotic tableau at the
nnale of the frst act of his show.
Impersonates a veteran OF the Union
army, and pleads for a united country
in the crisis. In the audience at the
theater in Baltimore sat two patriotic
types, Q vetsran Of the gray army Of
the civil war and q group OF young
men who were visibly impressed by
the actors patriotic makeup and ap-
peal As Marion recited q verse tell
ing of the union OF the North and
the South. tears came to the eyes OF
the old veteran At the end of the
show he was waiting at the stage en-
trance for the appearance of the
actor. When Marion appeared he
seemed greatly surprised at his COM
plete change, but the old soldier muir
INJURED his thanks for the act that
brought back scenes OF the sixties
and renewed his faith in the strength
of the North and South.
No sooner had Marion finished with
the old fighter than three youths ap-
preached him and introduced them
selves.
After seeing your act we've con-
cluded to enlist" they told Marion.
aAll Of US missed the draft, but we
think now is . good time to enter
the servtce.
"Thus my act served two good pur-
poses," commented Marion today.
'T have put great pains in the pa
triotic tableau because I have been
told in many cities that It proved q
big Inspiration to young men, and en-
couraged them to enlist. The scene
showing the tattered old Union SOL
der, his arm gone, but the IRE of
battle still in his eye, makes people
think how really united America IL
today. Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the necessity Of co-opera-
ton today between all classes, old
and young, and between all sections"

BUILDING MAY FOL-
Low BANK MERGER

The merger of the Hood River State
Bank with the Butler Banking Co. may
lead to the construction of new bank
ing building in Hood River. The
former institution closed its doors Sat-
urday morning, two days after the
consummation of the purchase by the
Butler company, and Its deposits and
business were Immediately transferred
to the larger institution.
"As yet we have no plans for the
building occupied by the Hood River
State Bank" says Truman Butler,
but | will say that we may at some
future date tear down the old bank
building and construct larger build
ing on the corner for our banking pur-
poses.
A general satisfaction over the bank
merger is heard in business circles.
However, a universal expression of re-
gret at the retirement of S. A. Mitch
ell, retiring vice president of the Hood
River State Bank, is heard. Mr..
Mitchell, who came here in 1918, has
been prominently identified in all pro-
gressive community activities. Hood
River will miss him.
While Mr.. Mitchell and his family
will leave Hood RIVER, no definite plans,
as yet, have been made.
The merger was effected Saturday
morning without a ripple.

Annoying Kidney Ills

There's nothing more annoying than

GETS ROAD CONTRACT

The county court Monday morning
awarded to the Transfer & Livery Co.
the contract for the grading and i'm
provement of the road connecting the
city with the boat landing east of Hood
river and stretch of the East Side
grade. The total length of road to be
improved reaches 2,400 feet. The bid
of the concern receiving the award of
the contract was $l.20 per yard for
loose rock; $1.35 for solid rock, and 81
cents per foot for laying culverts. The
estimated cost of the total improve
ment reaches Sc, The only other
bidder was James G. Fairfowl, of Dee.
The work of improving the boat
landing road may be delayed-hecause of
the high water of the Columbia. The
improvement of the stretch of East
Side highway, which will form link
of the Columbia River Highway be-
tween this city and The Dalles, will be
deferred until after the special election
of June a. If the $4,000, 600 bonding
act carries, this stretch of road will be
improved by the state.

Indians Help Red BrOSs

Indians of encampments in the neigh
borhood of the city have been spending
their money literally this week in
patronizing the rummage sale of the
local Red Cross chapter. Attracted by
the display of some of the articles
donated by city and valley families, a
buck visited the rummage sale empor-
ium in the Masonic building. In reply
to his inquiries, the young women vol.
unteer clerks explained that the sale
was being conducted for the purpose
of helping the big White Chief win the
war against Germany. By diplomatic
words the young woman drove home
their argument, and the Redman pur-
chased heavily of second hand gar
ments before he left the store.
The bucks return to camp evidently
created a sensation, and was a great
stroke of advertising for the Red Cross
Society, for numbers of Indian men
and women have appeared in town
inquiring for the store where they
could "help the big White Chief" J."

Muscle Soreness

Unusual work, bending and lifting or
strenuous exercise is a strain on the
muscles, they become sore and stiff,
you are crippled and in pain. Sloan's
liniment brings you quick relief, easy
to apply, it penetrates without rub
bing and drives out the soreness. A
Gear liquid, cleaner than mussy plas-
ters or ointments, it does not stain the
skin or clog the pores. Always have a
bottle handy for the pains and aches of
rheumatism, gout, lumbago, grippe,
bruises, stiffness, backsche and all ex-
ternal pain. At your druggist, 25c.
