We ARE FORTUNATE

We, of Hood River, are fortunate in
that Billy Sunday and DR.. +. l.. House
chose our healthful Cascade community
for their place of vacation. These
men, after strenuous days Of sermons
and lectures in various parts of the
land, come back here to drink in invig
Grating mountain air and recuperate
from their regular year in and year out
tasks. They say they come because
they love Hood River, and we believe
them. They say they drink in inspir-
ations from the beauties seen'srom the
homes of apple orchards, and we who
heard their talks last Sunday may well
believe they do.
Billy Sunday and DR.. House are more
fortunate than we who remain here all
the time among the scenic envrons.
We become callous to the appeal OF
natures glorious handiwork. They
miss it while away and appreciate il
all the more, seeing it with new love
on coming back.
But we who remain all the time
among the pastoral scenes of apple
orchards and ranch fields are fortunate
in that Billy Sunday and DR., Hous,
have found our haven. No community
of its size in the country-or for tha
matter, of any size, could duplicate
the lectures as given by these men las
Sunday.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1918-09-12
LET Us DO OUR SHARE

We have all marveled at the great
ac. ompllshments Of this nation of ours
since April, 1917, when. in state of
unpreparedness we declared war on the
Imperial German government. The
numbers of our army in France are
approaching the 1000. 000 point. AL
lied nations have been amazed at the
hasty but substantial construction Of
warehouses and docks at French ports.
Here at home our cantonments and the
men there in training bear witness to
the way, the goal of American will.
And what has made possible these
accomplishments? Simply the unity Of
purpose and unity of action of the
American people stirred to righteous
indignation, SO stirred that they are
willing to bear any sacrifice that Prus
sian autocracy may be crushed.
Every time anv of us refuses in the
least in his duty to his country, just so
much does he apply the brake to Amer
lean accomplishment. The retarding
pressure from any single individual is
not much, but if great numbers should
prove unpatriotic, the result would be
disastrous.
OF course. none.of US has the least
desire to shirk any duty and for that
reason we are all going to respond
cheerfullv and Immediately to the next
Liberty Loan. We have already been
Informed of what is wished Of us, and
we are going to keep up our part of
the united efforts that asmakes these
amazing accomplishments of America
