G. F. Purdy returned home Monday
from a short business visit in The
Dalles and Dufur.
Miss Gardner, of Chicago, is making
a tour of the west and she came up
from Portland to spend Sunday with
her friend, Miss Gertrude Wheeler.
The Parent-Teacher Association, of
Odell, invites you to bring your
children, your lunch and your thimbles
to Eggermont Friday, where you may
enjoy a picnic and help make new cur
tains for the grade school. Everyone
invited.
The next regular meeting of the
grange will be held Thursday, this,
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Boles, former
ly of Odell, later of Washougal, Wash,
expect to become residents of Odell
and proprietors of a new boarding
house and lunch room, which will be
located in a new bungalow H. X.
Davenport is building for Mr.. Boles on
lot secured from the Consolidated
Mercantile CO. and located just west
of the local Consolidated store. We
are very glad to note this newest addi-
tion to our little village, for we have
many times had occasion to know that
such business venture has every
reason to succeed.
The community picnic given under
the auspices of the Mothers Club of
Willow Flat and Central Vale Thurs
day evening, July 10, on the lawn at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Chevron, was great success. Mrs.
Chas. Castner, president of the State
Federation of Woman's Clubs, and
president of the State Council of
Defense, was present.
W. D. Allen, of Central Vale, has a
new Maxwell and H. II. Fawbush a
Ford.
Miss Mary Sheppard returned to the
home of her mother, Mrs. Job Shep-
pard, of Central Vale, Monday, after
having enjoyed several weeks visit at
the home of her friend, Mrs. Guy Lin
vile, of Condor, Ore.
Now that the draft is over and those
who are chosen know their part in
maintaining our country's honorable
position, which was won by brave men
and true in the years from the time
the tiny strip along the Atlantic coast,
known as the Thirteen Colonies, de-
Tended their convictions with their
lives, until today, when we stand great
among nations. Before this appears
in print our local company will have
mobilized and we can not forget that
because they voluntarily offered their
services no first call or draft came to
Hood River county. Friends here may
do their bit just now by contributing
supplies to the boys while they are in
camp on the chautauqua grounds.
Potatoes and such provisions as may
be contributed in excess of what is
consumed here will be shipped when
the corps is ordered to new location.
Local contributors may leave supplies
with J. E. Ferguson or with the COM
pany at the chautauqua grounds. This
will greatly help the boys mess fund,
as each boy is allowed 40 cents per day
for food and every bit of food received
from other sources swells the mess
fund.
The following program was provided
for entertainment of those who at
tended the F. B. c. party last Friday
night: Piano solo, Mrs. Geo. Wilbur ;
vocal solo, Will Haskins; reading,
Forrest Moe; violin solo, Franklin
Folts; reading, Martha Ferguson ;

J. E. Ferguson in well chosen words
presented to Capt. Wilbur and each of
the nine Odell boys who are members
Of the company, handsomely bound
copy of the New Testament. The

Rambler roses. Refreshments in
charge of Misses Heft and Harriet
