Successful Convention Anticipated

successful in the history of the organ
ization. Prominent Sunday school
workers from Portland will be present
as follows: DR.. Norman Coleman, of
Reed College; ]. G. Kilpack, financial
secretary Of the Portland Boys and
Girls Aid Society, and c. A. Phipps,

Association.

Sunday school organizations will send
two delegates to the meeting. Ac-
cording to present plans. it is proposed
to bring the entire attendance of the
meeting to this city on the last night
of the session and hold monster Sun
day school rally at Riverside church.

Next Sunday Humane Sunday

The ministers of Hood River will OBJ
serve next Sunday as Humane Sunday.
The custom is not an innovation.
Since 1865 many clergymen in England
have been devoting part of one Sun
day each year to the cause of animal
protection. Six thousand four hundred
clergymen preached such sermons in
1916. More than 1000 clergymen in
the United States, representing prac-
tically every religious denomination
and faith, gave whole or part of one
service to this subject last year. 1t is
non-sectarian in scope and does not
seek to desire special collection.
Humane Sunday is day set apart in
the church year when clergymen are
asked to put special emphasis en- the
rights and privileges of the weak and
helpless. 1t may be observed by a
special sermon or by appropriate exer-
cises in some department of the church
work.
Those who observe some other day
than Sunday for their Sabbath will
adjust themselves accordingly. While
it is to be desired that the day as
signed be chosen as widely as possible,
clergymen are free to fix the date at
any time which will be best to local
conditions.
The American Humane Association
recognizes the fact that many social
service organizations are seeking to
have special sermons delivered in be-
half of their particular fields of activ-
ity. The Association, however, does
not desire to burden the clergy with
something that is foreign to their
logical field of endeavor. 1t is con-
vinced that the subject of mercy and
kindness to all living creatures, is the
basis of all true religious teaching.
1t is on this platform that all of the
work of the cruelty movement stands.
The Association is confident that the
clergy will agree that these principles
need frequent repetition and the en-
phasis that only the pulpit can give.
Children are still exploited for gain,
abused beaten, starved. Helpless ami
mails are subjected to the most heart
less abuse, overloaded, underfed, beat.

wretched shelters and worked to the
last ounce of their strength.

TAXES Will NOT
Be INCREASED
Revenue Provided for Interest
and Principal on Road
Bonds.

Opponents Of the road bond bill
contend that the proposed bond issue
will become an added burden to the
general taxpayer. AS complete an
swer and refutation of this argument
the Legislative Good Roads Commit
tee has incorporated the following
statement as a part of its argument
in support of the bond bill which will
be published in the official state pam,
phlet:
"We have ascertained from the rec
ords of the office of the Secretary OF
State that the income from the pres
ent quarter-mill tax Is $220,000 per
annum; that the income from auto Ii
censes, based upon the present mum
ber of automobiles at the increased
license rate effective August 1st, will
be not less than $4,000 per annum
to be used in paying interest and prin
cipal of bonds. The above funds will
be sufficient not only to pay the In
terest and the principal of the $6,000,
900 bonds authorized by this act, but
will also pay the interest and princi
pal of the s1,s19,2S0.55 In bonds author
lied to meet the government road ap
preparation. After paying these bonds
there will be surplus of at least 81.
1893 ,402.66. Since 1911 the increase In
the number of automobiles In the
State of Oregon has been 33h pei
cent per year. With the completion
Of good roads this increase will natur
ally be larger. However, we have not
taken any increase into account but
have based our figures on the present
number of automobiles"

EQUAL SERVICE

Back in Washington some congress-
men are still fighting President Will
sons plan of conscription to raise the
big army necessary to conduct the
war. While a great many of the
people are still Indifferent, those who
have given the matter careful thought
are by very great majority, accord
ing to the nations press, in favor of
the proposed plan, considering it the
only effective plan of securing the
army.
1t seems likely that within the near
future the national body of lawmakers
will adopt measures that will provide
for equal service or universal training,
and we believe the action will have
pretty general endorsement. The few
newspapers of the country that oppose
the movement call it undemocratic
No measure will so tend to promote a
democratic unity of all the people.
All citizens share equally the protec-
tion of the government and why should
our young men, sons of rich men, poor
men, bakers and candlestick max
ers, at an appropriate age be un-
willing to undergo equally a service
to prepare them for the possible emer-
gencies of maintaining that protection?

HONOR GUARD GIRLS
ARE NOW BUSY

One of the most active of Hood Riv-
er's patriotic organizations is the
chapter of Girls National Honor
Guard, now LOG strong. The Honor
Guard girls meet weekly on Wednes-
day nights at library hall, where they
receive instruction in first aid work
under the direction of DR.. j. F. Watt.
The girls have started drilling under
Miss Georgia Prather, of the high
school faculty. who is a graduate of
lhe University of Oregon.
A class in automobile repairing and
driving, under. the instruction of F. A.
McDaniels, formerly in charge of the
Portland Y. NJ. C. A. automobile
school, but who now is chief mechani-
clan of the Hood River Garage, is do
ing remarkable work. Only members
over Is years are admitted to the mo-
tor car class.
Three lots, with free water for irri-
cation have been given the girls by
Mrs. Henry Steed. They expect to Sc
cure other lots for garden work, and
thus a corps of the local Honor Guard
expects to swell by a considerable
amout the local staple food production.

HOW HOOD RIVER STANDS

The attendance at the meetings con-
Quoted here last week by c. E.
Spence, master of the Oregon state
grange, we think points conclusively
to how Hood River voters stand on the
important $1,000, 900 road bonding act.
Naturally the opposition forces rallied
full strength to hear their champion.
Yet it is said that more than so per
cent .of those attending the Spence
meeting were bond supporters.
Mr.. Spence with his visionary argu-
ments and his expressions of suspicion
made but slight ripple on the surface
of Hood River affairs. Local voters
who have studied the bond issue are
not able to see how they can consist
emily do otherwise than support the
bond issue.
When the count is taken on thelnight
of June A, from present indications,
Hood River county is going to be all
but unanimous for the act that will
makefpossble systematic construction
of highways in Oregon.

EVA BROCK COWDEN
DIES VERY SUDDENLY

Mrs. V. c. Brock, who left Saturday
for Caldwell, lda., on receipt of a tele-
gram announcing the sudden serious
illness Of her daughter, Mrs. Norton
R. Cowden, arrived there Sunday af-
ternoon only 30 minutes before Mrs.
Cowden passed away. The news of
the death of the young matron brought
a Profound shock to the people Of Hood
River.
Mrs. Cowder, native Oregonian,
Was "a years of age. She was a grad
uate of the Hood River high school.
After a years attendance at Whitman
College she became a student at the
University of Oregon, having graduat-
ed with honors there last year. She
was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta
sorority. She was prominent in all
student body activities and was secre-
tary of the University student body
organization andsspresident of.the wom-
ans musical organization.
Immediately following their wedding
last June. Mr.. and Mrs. Cowden left
for Idaho to make their home.
In addition to her husband and par
ents, Mrs. CowGen is survived by a
sister, Miss Lillian Brock, of this city.
and two brothers. E. c. Brock. of Cor
wallis, and Roy c. Brock.
1.30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at
the Riverside Congregational church,
where the young matron's wedding
occurred last June, Rev. M. l.. Hutton
and Rev. J. L. Hershner, presiding.
No sad news has ever so profoundly
touched Hood River as that telling of
the death of Eva Brock Cowden. Mrs.
Cowden, possessed of the optimism of
youth, until she left here as bride,
was ever at the front in all social and
civic activities. At home, in school
and in the circles of her elders she was
beloved, and universal sympathy goes
out from the hearts of the people of
Hood River for the bereaved husband
and the family.
Attesting to the popularity of Mrs.
Cowden and the esteem in which she
was held not only by local people but
by her former student and faculty as
sociates of the University of Oregon,
scores of floral pieces were banked be-
hind the casket at the Congregational
church. Numerous letters of condol-
ence from University officials and stu.
dents were received by the bereaved
family.
The big church was crowded yester-
day afternoon, and the line of automo-
biles, carrying the grieving friends of
the deceased young woman to ldlewilde
cemetery, was one of the longest ever
seen here. Mrs. Chas. H. Henney sang
solo at the funeral services, and Sc.
lections were rendered by quartet
composed of Mrs. M. l.. Hutton, Mrs.
C. H. Sletton, Geo. r. Wilbur and W.
B. Small. Mrs. l.. A. Henderson ac'
companied on the pipe organ.
