ROBBERS GET $500
 FROM LEPANTO STORE
Expert Cracksmen Blow Safe and Make Get-Away With
 Considerable Cash

Lepanto, Dec 23-Robbers blew the large safe in the Stuckey general store at Lepanto last night and se- cured $500 in currency a small amount of silver and $200 worth of checks. Nittoglyeerin was used in blowing the safe. Apparently the robbers were experts, as the force of the explosion failed to wakepersons who were sleep ing in homes across the streets.
 The robbery was not discovered until MT. Stuckey went to the store this morning He found the front door unlocked and the office a com plete wreck as result of the explo- sion. Officers in nearby towns were notified and the telegraph wires are being kept hot in an effort to catch the guilty parties.
 Between $50 and $75 of the money taken from the safe belonged to the Red Cross, of which Mr Stuckey was chairman. The money was collected yesterday and was left in the safe by the committee

THE COUNTRY MUST
 PRODUCE MORE MEAT
Serious Situation Faces World Because of the Great Short
 age of Supply of Meat

Because of the war the meat re serves of the world are diminished. The herds of live stock in Earope have been reduced by slaughter made necessary in order to feed the armies, Our own meat production in tn years just preceding the war WAS barely sufficient for our own uses. And yet we are not oniy called upon to feed ourselves, hut to feed Eu- rope to large extent Aa3 we must do 1t if we win the war.
 Where will @e ges meat: You can do your part oa your farm an in your backyard " psodueias more poultry-increasiag the supply os eggs and chickens, geese anG dues. Our total number ol beet s.a.ma.s cannot be iacrease1 with aaffisiea= quickness. Several years ale 1e- quired to build up cattle herds. Hogs can be increased considerably in q year. They can be increased fastef than any other meat animal. Bat poultry can be doubled in 8 year. l. offers the fastest and cheapest pos sible source of meat increase. fhal is why it is So important that every one help in poultry production the coming year.
 The more poatry and eggs we pro duee, the more poultry and eggs We will eat. The more of that food we eat the less beef and pork we will need or want-leaving that much to go to Europe Thus we do indirectly the thing We can't do directly
 By poultry production We get quick ly more meat to win the war, al- though we cannot increase in that time the number of our meat animals.

Many citizens, city officials and
members of the Coast Artillery were
at the train Saturday night to give
Mr.. Patreau farewell ovation.
On behalf of the.people of Hood Riv-
er Mayor Dumble presented the re-
turning soldier with a small silk Flag.
The Flag was accompanied by the fol-
lowing letter:
LAS the representative of your fell
low citizens am presenting you with
the Flag of your adopted country as
you return to battle for the rights of
the land of your birth. Your fight
from now on will not be for France
alone, but for America as well. This
Flag is but little one, but the love
and admiration that go with it are
large. AS you carry it on the battle
field may it stimulate you to greater
deeds of valor, and as your companions
in arms view it may it stimulate them
to greater effort in their fight for hu-
manity. That you will carry it with
honor we do not doubt. That God may
protect you and return you victorious,
is the prayer of your Hood River
friends.
The young soldier, a member of a
machine gun company attached to the
13Oth Regiment, French Infantry, de-
clares that he will place the Flag on
his bayonet.

HORDES OF ROMANY
FORCED TO MOVE ON

With a half dozen deputies sworn in
to assist them, Sheriff Johnson, City
Marshal Carson and Deputy Sheriff
Olinger last Friday experienced the
busiest six hours Of their official lives
escorting across the county border a
band of more than SO gypsies, who ar
rived at the westsedge of the valley at
an early hour over the Highway.
On opening their offices Friday
morning the sheriff and marshal were
greeted by telephone calls from ranch
ers who reported thefts of milk, chick
ems and horsefeed. Deputizing the first
citizens they met, the officers hurried
to meet the nomads, preventing them
from scattering over the orchard dis
tricts, and carefully herding them un-
til the Wasco county line was reached
at the top of the Mosier ridge.
Despite the vigilance of the corps of
officers half dozen of the Romany
women Friday afternoon at the inter-
section of the dock road and the main
trunk highway held up and robbed A.

Dalles, just arrived on river steam.
er. The money, in bills was extracted
from Mr.. Willard's S vest pocket by one
of the women while her sisters jostled
him and demanded to tell his fortune.
The currency was recovered few
moments later by Marshal Carson.
If the caravan of gypsies had not
been escorted from the city before
night it is likely that members of the
the Indian colony would have attacked
the hordes of Romany. Peter, fat
medicine man of the local Indian en-
campment, a familiar figure on the
streets, was seated on a curbing plac-
idly lunching from bag of roasted
peanuts when a group of the gypsy
women espied him. The women fol-
low a we'll defined system. They travel
through a town in groups of half
dozens. While five of the women har-

for the privilege of reading his bumps
and jostling him all the while, the
other deftly frisks him, and invariably

hoardings. Priest Peter was subjected

city's steep streets. His speed reach

In all probability Hood River never
