inspiration during the school days al

SPELLING Bee
WAS SUCCESSFUL
OLD FASHIONED OCCASION ENJOYED
Following Basket Supper Judge Wilson
PreSideS and Mrs. CaStner and
Mr.. Butler Choose Spoilers

Although Disappointing IN numbers
present, the old fashioned spelling bee
staged at the high school auditorium
Saturday evening was a successful and
pleasant event Scores of families as
sembled at the high school auditorium
promptly at $50 O'Clock with baskets
laden with lunches. The aroma of
boiling coffee, cheering and stimulat-
ing, fioated up from the department of
domestic science, where Miss Rose
Sheridan presided at a huge pot The
lunch baskets were sold and the men
who purchased them ate supper with
the women who had prepared the bas-
kets. The Red Cross committee, con-
sisting of H. A. acDonald. DR. c.
ii. Jenkins, Mrs. Leroy Taft, c. ID.
Hoyt and Mrs. r. d. Gould. served
all comers with coffee.
Judge Fred W. Wilson, at a sacrifice
of time, came here from The Dalles to
presided at the meeting. Judge Will
son stated that the umpire of spelling
bee was thing entirely novel in his
| life. His "reminiscences of his boyhood
school days at The Dalles and the men.
tion of some of the prominent men of
Hood River, brought laughter.
| Judge Wilson appointed as captains
of the spelling bee Mrs. c. H. Castner
and Truman Butler. With first choice,
Mrs. Castner started the selection of
contestants by calling for Mrs. g. ".
Thomson. Mr.. Butler called for vol.
unteers. c. N. Ravlin, S. J. Moore
and c. W. McCullagh stepped forward.
About half of Mr.. Buffers spoilers
were selected by the volunteer method
He concluded his selections by naming
his little daughter, Marion.
| With knees quaking, the lines OF
spoilers eXpectant, awaited the ordeal.
Judge Wilson had borrowed from Su.
erintendent Bonney, of the Wascc
county schools, one of the new spelling
books. While hush settled over the
big room he quietly turned the pages
The word was given. Mr.. Butler
spelled it. Mrs. Castner spelled hers
Mr.. Ravlin faltered and was lost
Then the words came fast and were
spelled quickly. Mr.. McCullagh gave
the Scotch spelling of harass. 1t was
incorrect according to book. The big
audience held post.mortems, or free
from embarrassment, spelled with ease
simple words that were tripping the
tongues of the scared gladiators.
Judge Wilson called the word kaleid
oscope. And division of troops Wen
west. The word fricassee gasset
a whole platoon. The writer was hi
by a spent she'll it was catechize
Finally, the ranks of Mrs. Castner haC
dwindled to G. A. Clough. He was
gallant soldier and held out for long
Mrs. j. E. Slade and Prof. Mclaughlin
were the victors.
When the spelling bee was over al
crowded close to the stage, and will
Mrs. +. d. Kanaga playing the pian'
and Mrs. Ralph. Root leading, patrioti
songs were sung by the crowd. The
floor was cleared later. Miss Rather
inc Baker took the piano and playet
for dancing. Later Art Kolstad's S or
chestra came up and several hours O
pleasant dancing was enjoyed by thos
present.

SOLDIERS SHOULD
TAKE FULL INSURANCE

The Importance of taking out war
risk insurance cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the minds of enlisted
men, say Marine Corps officials, who
cite the following death to substanti-
ate their statements:
Private Andrew Jensen, stationed
in Cuba, took out $40, 600 worth of war
risk insurance on the morning Of Feb
ruary s, 1918, in favor of his mother,
Mrs. Margaret Jensen, Everett, Wash.
He died at 7.l5 p. m, the same day.
His death was in the line of duty and
was caused by the accidental discharge
of machine gun.
Time limits in which applications
for insurance may he made has been
extended to April u, for all officers
and men in active service on October
