MANSER EXHIBITS
APPEALING PAINTINGS

Percy Manser. orehsrdist and sign
painter, aroused a marked attention
last week with an exhibit Of oil paint
tngs in one of the big windows Of the
Franz Hardware Co. The canvasses
varied in size from very small ones to
large pieces depicting some charming
landscape Nor were the pictures linn
tied to any distinct subject matter, al
though scenery was the chief back
ground of all the paintings executed
by Mr.. Manser. The exhibit soon at
tracted great deal Of attention, and
Mr.. Manser is now much better known
among Hood River people.
Mr.. Manser, who has won no limited
reputation as a painter Of theatre cur
tans, having recently visited Seattle to
iesign and paint big curtain for the
pantages theatre of Spokane, wields a
facile brush. He has the knack of be-
ng able to reproduce, either from life
IT painting of another, accurately per-
feet pictures. With this gift is COM
bined an originality and artistic sense
and perception Of the harmony Of

4 I'LL mas been proposed and pre-
sented 10 the Legislature for the pur
pose Of removing. If possible, what
ever things may interfere with and
prevent the citizens Of the respective
counties Of the state from initiating or
referring laws, rules and regulations
tnst pertain To these same counties.
The initiative and referendum ap
plies 70 the adoption Of laws Of the
state. and il seems most logical that
they should be extended little fur
ther and that the privilege should be
permitted counties 10 initiate ieglsla-
tion or refer measures that pertains
only TO them. Yes, II rs all most
beautiful. theoretically, but if such
measures are adopted. We are due
some episodes that may eclipse IN
interest the activities at the DONEGAL
Fair.
The good Lord help US. if law is
adopted that will permit the unlimited
initiation of county measures. Every
man with hobby may get bold enough
10 try to embody that hobby in law.
Measures for the regulation Of every
thing from coekrosehes to codling
moths are sure To come up sooner OF
later.
Now it happens that those who are
most assiduous in their support of such
d proposal as the county initiative
measure are those who backed the
county salary bill several years ago
We do not believe, even though the
proposed measure prlvileging citizens
Of counties to initiative Legislation is
iopted, that counties will be per-
mitted to act on the salaries of their
officials. Most of these officials, in
addition TO their stewardship to the
counties are obligated to the state
government. While elected BY the
counties. they are in a large sense
state officers, and rules and regula-
tions governing them should be
adopted by state board.

Mrs. Thompson is Target

II there is any truth to the old idea
of the ears burning when one was
being talked about, Mrs. Alexander
Thompson displayed a glowing face to
her colleagues yesterday. The COM

Unless Mrs. Thompson, formerly

opinion is advanced here that her
political death knell has been sounded,
insofar as Hood River is concerned.

GLASGOW IS GUARDED
Military Display 10 Provoking the
Strikers.

London, Feb. 3.-There was no
striking developments in the labor
troubles, either on the Clyde or in
Belfast. Quiet prevailed in both dis
tricts. In Belfast many of the churches
were obliged to abandon the evening
services, owing to lack of light. More
troops have arrived in Glasgow, where
it is now said there are 10000. Sol
diers are still mounted on the roofs
of the buildings surrounding George
square in Glasgow. The military dis
play is provoking great resentment
among the strikers there. The indus
trial unrest has superseded the peace
conference as the chief topic of inter-
est in Great Britain. Many of the
leaders in the camps of capital and
labor are bringing out specifics for a
general remedy. The proposal of John
r. Clynes, the former food controller,
for an industrial congress represent
ing all interests, seems to be the most
popular.

Import Embargo On.

to a point where definite govern
mental trade policies must be out
lined, it was believed by many MEM
bers of Congress. They assert that
the latest British action should be
met with drastic reciprocal measures.
Shipping men regarded the new ban
as a British lever to pry loose all
British-bOund cargo for t%ransporta-
ton in British-owned ships. 1t has
been known for days that British
buyers have been coming to the
United States in flocks.
They have been buying commodi-
ties in which England already had
an import embargo, as well as arti-
Giles contained in the list made pub
lie. American manufacturers who
sought to sell direct to English
wholesalers without dealing through
agents on this side have been very
e~ffectually stopped by SUBJ
terfuges. reports received here show.
The British buyers have contracted
heavily and every ton of goods
bought has been taken on the express
condition that it be shipped in Brit,
ish-owned vessels.

blockade so far as it concerned south

a league of nations will be the final
act in the formation of the league,
This conference would be held after
the peace conference had approved
the scheme now drafted by represen,

The universal conference will pass
upon the admission of each state into
the league, and enemy states will be
accepted on the same footing as 9TH

Bourgeois said. must give proof that
they no longer foster lust Of conquest
and that they will repay fully for
the devastation and ruin they have
caused"

the marriage by proxy of soldiers
abroad to their sw%eethearts in the

did not contravene state statutes. A
previous opinion had d%isapproved
such marriages. The judge advocate
general, declaring such contracts
permissible, says the best form in
such cases was a single contract
signed by both parties.
