Big RED CROSS PAR
TY APPROACHES

AS the time draws near for the
Red Cross party on Washingtons
Birthday many are beginning to
make their plans for the event. That
it will be repetition of the big sue
cess of the Thanksgiving party there
is not the least doubt End with the
first tap of Kolstad's magic drum
the entire dancing contingent of the
valley will be there to step out to
the inspiring strains of over
There"
Those who attend will not feel
that they are devoting the evening
solely for pleasure, as the cause is a
most worthy and highly important
one. The entire proceeds are to go
tc replenish the rapidly-dwindling
funds of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the local chapter of the
Red Cross, which funds must by all
means be kept replenished If the
various local Red Cross workrooms
are to be supplied with raw mater
ials. If the dollars do not come
through the means of the various
dances and entertainments planned
by the Ways and Means Committee,
the money must of necessity, be
raised by subscription. Therefore it
behooves everyone interested in the
Red Cross work to get busy and buy
"a ticket for the coming party. The

DIR. JOHN H. BOYD
TO SPEAK HERE

Much interest is being manifested in
the. coming of DIR. John II. Boyd, of
Portland, Wednesday, February 20,
when he will deliver his masterful
address on 1.-The Unmasking of Ger
many" Since he first delivered this
address in Portland last December he
has been in constant demand in Wash.
ington, Oregon and California, and this
is the first date he will be available to
Hood River. The address will be given
at the. high school auditorium at D..
m. The Woman's club is paying all of
the expense and it will be free to the
public. Appropriate music will also
be provided.
Several Hood River citizens have al
ready heard DR.. Boyd give this ad-
dress. Mrs. C. H. Cashier and Leslie
Butler heard it delivered at the general
assembly during Farmers Week at
Corvallis to an audience of 1000 people.
Mrs. Castner says:
''No other address during Farmers
Week so captivated the audience.
have hard no other address that so en-
lightens as to the history of this war
or stirs one so much to do his patriotic
duty"
Mr.. Butler says: 1T is wonderful
address. You can't say too much about
it."
Supt. Mclaughlin was present at one
of the meetings in Portland. He says
Without exception it is the best ad-
dress have heard in years. The per-
son who hears DR.. Boyd outline the
plans of Germany, made years prior to
the beginning of this war. and does not
feel impelled to do his utmost to help
the allies win, is not worthy to be an
American. trust that every citizen
of influence in our community will hear
him. 1t is an opprtunhity that should
not be missed.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Loren Sparks)

The game with Goldendale last Sat-
urday night was, without question, the
,, best that has been staged here in a
good many years. To win from team
supposedly the best in the mid Colum-
bia, and to win it by straight and sci-
entific basket ball is exactly what was
done by the Hood River high school.
From whistle to whistle every fellow
played hard, as evidenced by the ex-
ceptional team work throughout. In
the start our team had astonished the
crowds by running up something like
10 points with Goldendale scoreless.
During the whole game, with the ex-
ception of the end of the first half,
when the score was 21-21, H. r. was
in the lead. Two weeks ago the Gold
endale team defeated Hood River l05
2.
In discussing who were stars and
who were not-they were all stars, but
the work of Henderson and Gassoway
was Nespecilly notable. When it came
to shooting baskets Pendergast was
the mainstay of the team. He alone
made 26 points. Guinan and Ballou
starred for Goldendale. The final score
was 36-32.
The Hood River lineup was: l..
Bailey, center; Henderson and H. Bal
ley, guards; Pendergast and Gassoway,
forwards.
Monday afternoon the boys first
team defeated the second team 25 90.
The girls teams which played last
week tested their strength in a contest.
The team which played The Dalles de-
feated the one playing White Salmon.
Tomorrow night the high school will
play Stevenson teams here. Because
of the fact that Goldendale won from
them by score of 35-l2 it is probable
that our own team will come out of it
with the big end of the score. Steven
son has reputation for being fast so
that this game also promises to be one
of the best of the sesaon. We have no
dope on the Stevenson girls, but wei
sure to win anyway.
Tonight the senior class will hold a
business meeting at 7.30 in room IL.
After the meeting the class will adj
journ to the auditorium, where they
will hold a kids party. A prize is
offered for the sweetest little girl and
the incest little boy.

STATE FLOUR COST
IS HIGHEST IN i. S.
FOOD ADMINISTRATION PRE-
SENTS FIGURES SHOWING
DISPARITY.
BODY SAYS PRICE EXCESSIVE
Says Excuse Which Will Be Probably
Presented Is That Louisiana Does
Not Grow Wheat, and Has
Only a Few Mills.
Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge
The Louisiana consumer pays more
for -four than any other state in the
Union.
The United States Food Admins
tration statistical division is author
ity for the statement, and presents
the figures to prove it. 1t does not
know any reason for the menviaDle
distinction, and advises that some
remedy be found.
The excuse which will probably be
presented is that Louisiana does not
grow wheat, and has only few mills,
and these comparatively small con-
Germs. This condition forces the
bringing of -four from a longer dis
lance than is the case with other
states, which adds to the cost. Against
this excuse is the fact that there
are several other states in the South
which are no better off as to mills
and transportation, but which still
manage to sell their -four cheaper.
For the week ending July 20 the
price of flour in Louisiana, in retail
packages, was 9.03c pound. That
same week the Louisiana price WAS
the highest in the country.
For the week ending July IL, the
Louisiana figure was GIL, and was
again the national record. That same
week the Arkansas average was $50.
Texas 8.27, Tennessee $50 and
Georgia SIC cents pound.
For the week ending August 2
Louisiana was still champion charger.
though the figure dropped to sos.
Texas average was 3.24. Tennessee'e
S.48, Arkansas S.5S and Georgia's
S.S4.
John M. Parker, food administ1a-
tor for Louisiana, confessed that he
did not know the reason, but was
very anxious to find it out. The state
had the reputation at Washington Of
leading in many departments of food
conservation, but this was one rephte
he did not relish, and did not believe
the state should try to retain.
