GRANGE STORE BUS

The Grange Co operative store,
launched here a few weeks ago. is do
ing a volume of business that surpass-
es fondest expectations Of the organic
ers. The store, dealing in groceries,
feeds and other farm supplies, is being
backed, according 70 the manager, N.
II. Macmillan, former Heights grocer,
by orchardists and ranchers from all
districts. The business for last Sstur-
day was so per cent in excess Of that Of
the previous Saturday.
''But our volume is growing every
day." says Mr.. Macmillan. The vol
ume Of sales for the week ending last
Saturday was Is per cent greater than
for the week ending on the previous
Saturday. We are selling not only to
the rural folk. but many city shoppers
are attracted by our lower prices, made
possible by cash and carry principles
and cooperative buying"

VALLEY ORCHARDISTS
FOR 0. H. FITHIAN

The information given Oregon voters
by Mrs. Geo. l.. Williams, president of
the Disabled Veterans Auxiliary, to
the effect that Ralph Z. Williams, can
didate to succeed himself as an en-
ployer of Oriental labor on his hop
ranch near Wilsonville. while many ex-
service men 60 jobless, has resulted in
an enthusiasm here for o. II. Fithian,
Mr.. Williams opponent. Mr.. Fithian
is an avowed and earnest advocate OF
laws that will eliminate from the state
Oriental labor.
"This contest for national commit
teeman," said MIR. Van Horn, "has not
caused any great furry here. A lot of
US have quietly given the matter con-
sideration, resolving to vote for Mr..
Fithian because we know him and
know his record for quiet and faithful
endeavor for the party. But this re-
cent authentic information, given US
by Mrs. Williams, has spurred many of
US to concerted action on the part of
Mr.. Fithian. Mr.. Williams, if one will
take the time TO study his private busi-
ness affairs as well as his political ae-
tion, it seems to me, does not present
himself as a true representative of the
progressive policies that we are seek
ing to have represent the Republican
party of Oregon.
81 am sure that Mr.. Williams policy
of employing cheap Oriental labor in
his hopyards will not cause any Hood
River valley orchardlsts, who are pio-
neers in the movement to secure a law
for the elimination of Oriental aliens,
to consider him in any great degree of
favor. Mr.. Fithian's strength is grow
ing daily. Orchardists are pretty busy
at this season, but they are ever active
in a righteous cause, and the story of
Williams and his Nipponese farm
workers is being disseminated here"

against his l3-year old stepdaughter
Belle Morgan. resulted in hung jury
seven standing for conviction and fiv'
for acquittal.

tention as it was the first ever coming
before the local circuit court requiring
application of the woman's jury law
necessitating six women and six mer
on juries trying cases involving pros
ecuting witness or a defendant undel
the age of l6. The original panel OF
10 women was exhausted on the first
day of the trial and Judge Wilson or
dered a special venire of six. Under
the law women are given the privilege
of declining service, and Sheriff John
son was experiencing difficulty in sc.
curing the special venire. He noticed
that mid-week prayer meeting was in
progress at the Community church, the
building of which adjoins the court
house. The sheriff invaded the prayer
meeting and securing permission OF
Rev. Boldly, addressed the women
present, citing that they could perform
civic duty by sservice on the jury.
He solved his problem. six of the
church women Immediately volunteer
ing to serve.
Women chosen on the jury were
Mrs. L. M. Bentley, Mrs. W. L. Mich

previous engagement in The Dalles;
The case went to the jury at $50
Friday night. On a first ballot re-
turned at 10 O'Clock, the jurors stood
six to six, four men and two women
having voted for convection. A few
minutes before IL o'clock when Judge
Wilson called the jury in for discharge,
one of the women who had formerly
voted for acquittal went over to the
side standing for conviction.
The testimony showed that the
young woman two weeks ago had made
her disclosure following general fam
lily row. She testified that the offense
had been committed on the morning of
January 8, following the birth early
the evening before of child to Mrs.
De Lore, her mother. The latter, as
did son, Arthur Morgan, testified in
De Lore's behalf. The woman sat IN
the court room beside her accused hus-
band. the two in an embrace or hold
ing hands most of the time.
The case attracted attention among
attorneys because Of the fact that the
defendants counsel, Frank G. Dick, of
The Dalles, attacked the women's jury
law on constitutional grounds.
The case was ably handled for the
state by Prosecuting Attorney Baker.
Cecil Self, accused of the theft of
harness from T. Matsumoto, japanese
rancher, on plea of guilty, was SEN
fenced to year in the penitentiary by
Judge Wilson.

STUDENTS SHINE
in SENIOR PLAY

The Hood River high school auditori-
um Friday night was filled to capacity
for the senior class play. Many were
turned away because of inability to get
tickets. The vehicle was "And Home
Came Ted." which was directed by
Miss Bertha Hunter. Mr.. and Mrs. G..
N. Clarke had charge of the makeup
of the student players, and the scenery
and stage setting was prepared by r.
L. Manser. Twelve boys and girls. who
displayed marked histrionic ability,
participated. Miss Marion Butler was
property manager. Other officers were !:
William r. Chapman, stage manager; |;
Miss Ruth Rogers, publicity manager,
and James johnson, general manager. .
Between act features consisted Of
piano solos by Miss Janet SADIE, num-
bers by the high school orchestra and
solos by Mrs. c. H. Henney.
Hood River folk have reached the
point where they prefer amateur the
atrlcals. when high school students par
ticipate, than the offerings of visiting
professional thespians. The reason was
again manifested at the high school
last Thursday. To say which of the
young women and men stood out as
stars would be difficult. They all
worked hard to make the play sue
cess. They evidenced that many hours
of training had been spent. They. too,
must have had the feeling that their
work was rewarded, for they we're con-
stantly being met with spontaneous
applause end laughter. The teamwork
was good not only on the part of the
players. but the general atmosphere
breathed of good management. Mr..
Manser helped the students out mar
velously with his painting of scenery
and the stage setting.
"And Home Came Ted" is the type
of play that can be turned into roar
ing farce by poor acting. 1t was made
show that carried an appeal from the
first by good acting on the part of the
high school students. The senior play
ers last Friday night we're:

In June 1921 at the Committees first meeting after the
Inauguration of President Warren c. Harding every State
casts votefor Ralph Williams of Oregon for VceChaiman
of the Committee recognizing by their unanimous vote his
fitness and ability leader to fill this responsible position
This distinction gives to Oregon and the Pacific Coast
much power and influence in Party affairs
Does the character of the campaign of the opposition lead
you to think that you get this kind of influence and power
in National Councils by the election of their candidate?
National Committeeman does not make appointments
that done by the President does National Committee
egate the function of Senators and Congress
men; the business of National Committeeman to give
attention to the affairs of the Party organization In
this Ralph Williams has made conspicuous success Had
there been any legitimate why Mr. Williams should
not be reelected any doubt his loyalty and service to
the party its candidates would have appeared in previous
the party by being unanimously elected bv the
National Committeeman from the forty-eight States
After Ralph E. Williams harmonzed the party why trv
to disrupt it?
By all rules of fair play because of the work he has done
in the past he is entitled to reelection.
Having legitimate for opposing his reelection
the opposing has circulated unfair misleading and poisonous
statements.
We do not wish to insult your intelligence or YOUR sense
fairness and regardless of what the opposition has done or
may do in an eleventh hour attempt impose its poison upon
you, there will be disposition Mr. Williams part to
their uncean methods.

CHAMBER FEATURES
CITY BUILDING
AT DINNER

The get-together dinner of the Ell
Centre chamber of commerce at the
Barbara Worth last evening was well
attended and thoroughly enjoyed from
the time the ball was set rolling by
those present singing america un-
til Fred NebelThau had fired the
parting shot. A tasty dinner was serv-
ed by Manager Conway, after which
President Cooper opened the social
side of the evening by introducing Miss
Florence w. Springer of the Ell Centre
Y. w. G. A., who in turn presented the
Misses Margaret Julian, Mary Finn
and Anne Harrell. They told the bus
inessmen of the objects and work Of
the grammar school Girl Reserves, the
high school Girl Reserves and the Girl
Reserves summer camp at Hi-pass,
and asked their aid and support in the
coming Y. w. G. A. campaign. Miss
Springer explained why the Girl Re-
serves should be encouraged and the
work which the Y. w. C. A. is doing
for them, stating that it would mean
better girls and women, more efficient
and contented workers, and better
Ell Centre.
The chief speaker of the evening,
Harry Culver, was then introduced by
President Cooper, and held the atten-
tion of all while telling of his work in
Culver City and explaining how the
same ideas used there could be applied
to Ell Centre. He urged the boosting
of the Gown Your Home' movement,
as the best way of building up city.
"The love of home, and mans
town. said Mr.. Culver, "is absolute
ly necessary, if the community is to
be success and become a place where
honest and upright citizens will be in
duced to build their homes and raise
their families.
Mr.. Culver pointed out that while
ambition, enthusiasm and courage were
highly desirable attributes in any un-
dertaking, he considered resourceful-
ness absolutely necessary to ultimate
success. To encourage this at Culver
City home gardening was started and
q building and loan association organ
lied to enable citizens to own their
homes.
Concluding his remarks, Mr.. Culver
said any community could be made sue
cessful where the leaders had a full
appreciation of the value of determina-
tion and persistency.
Fred Nebel-Thau delighted the gath
ering with witty parody on "After
the Ball. based on Mr.. Culver s re-
marks.
Ross Hickcox asked the members of
the chamber to assist the Y. w. c. A.
in their drive for funds, and f. w.
Judy urged that all get behind the
chamber of commerce in their efforts
to make the coming Ellison White Chau-
tauqua the most successful yet held in
Ell Centre, stating that season tickets
would be ready for distribution by
Monday of next week.

CITY COUNCIL CLEANS
BOARD OF PENDING
PAVING BIDS

The batting average of the new city
council is 100. The first important
matter that has come to it, it has hit
for home run, lining the ball clear
over the fence.
The council met at 1880 last night
with Mayor Fawcett, and Trustees
Pitzer, Lavayea and Travers present.
After disposition of the minutes and
minor details, the council took up the
paving contracts which have been put
over from time to time. Trustee Pit
zer moved that action upon the bids
be laid over for one week, but received
no second to his motion. Trustee Trav-
ers moved that all bids be rejected and
all bonds returned. The motion was
seconded by Trustee Lavayea and on
roll call was carried, Trustees Fawcett,
Travers and Lavayea voting to reject
the bids and Trustee Pitzer voting no.
Bowles Uurges Action
George Bowles was present represent
ing the road committee of the cham
Der of commerce and urged that when
the council took action upon the bids,
arrangement be made to have work
commence October l, and the contractor
be required to assemble all materials
ON the ground in the meantime, so there
could be no excuse for delays on ac-
count of lack of materials.
Joseph F. Seymour, claiming to rep
resent property owners, urged that
action be taken on the bids and con-
tract for the work be let. Trustee
Travers asked Mr.. Seymour if he had
not represented the contractor. Mr..
Seymour admitted that he had repre-
sented one Of the contractors in the
past, but declared that he was not doing
so at the present time. Mr.. Seymour
also urged that water rates be lowered.
Mr.. Lavayea for the finance commits
sion and Mr.. Travers for the water
commission urged patience, saying that
the council had the water question
under advisement and action might be
expected at an early date.
Assessment Cut in Two
City Clerk Van Way asked authority
to attach certain personal property of
the old gas plant, saying he had in
formation that the property was to be
moved out of the county without pay
ing the tax. 1t developed that the city
assessor had assessed the personal prop
erty at $4,000 when the purchase price
including certain real estate in Imper-
ial and CaleXieo, was only $1,000, The
council recommended to the assessor
that in accordance with the basis for
assessing other personal property, this
assessment be reduced to $4,000, and
the prediction was made that there
would be no trouble in collecting the tax.
Action was taken ordering the re-
moval of certain signs erected in the
parkin places and which are claimed
to be menace. The board adjourned
for one week.

Birthplace
United Press Leased Wire

POINT PLEASANT, Ohio, April 27.
The nations of the world, in tl.eir eff
forts to recover from the disastrous eff
fects of the world war, need more of
the spirit of magnanimity with which
General Z. S. Grant welcomed victory
at the close of the civil war, President
Harding said here today at the cere-
monies commemorating the one-hun-
dredth birth anniversary of the hero Of
the Civil war. The president spoke
from platform in front of the little
village store to large throng that had
como to this .hamlet-Grant' birth
place--to pay homage to the great gen
eral s memory.
But it seemed that running through
his address was an outstanding thought
which he was addressing to the ma
tions of Europe, devastated by the war
and among the prejudices that still
exist. That result of the world war
was not to be perpetuated if peace is
to prevail.
"I wonder sometimes said the pres

dogged, persistent, unalterable Grant
in warfare-the unconditional surrender
Grant-would not be helpful in the
world today"
Praising Grants "cherishment of
peace, intensified by, his intimate knowi-

said he felt certain the general would
approve the recent action of joining the
allies to promote understandings which
make war less likely. The president
said:

surprising exemplar of magnanimity
of all times, the most striking example
of possibilities in American life, the

WOUNDED MEN BUY
LAND UNDER PLAN
AT BRAWLEY

Harry B. Ellison of Ell Centre has
been appointed chairman Of COM
mittee of legionaires in the valley to
investigate and report upon work being
done by the federal bureau with refer
ence to rehabilitation of the wounded
and disabled soldiers, particularly as
conducted through the Brawley high
school.
The request that a committee of val
ley men be chosen comes from Walter
B. Kibbey of Los Angeles, member of
the soldiers welfare board. Mr.. Kib-
hey together with John Quinn, state
commander of the American Legion, are
anxious to ascertain how successful the
Brawley plan is working out. Accord
ing to Kibbey, member from FL Cen
tro, Brawley, Holtvillc, Calexico, Imper~
ial and Calipatria should be chosen by
the state Legion officials. Appoint
ments will be made as soon as possible,
it is said.
The Brawley plan is unique, and is
considered an efficient and practical
system of vocational training. Be-
tween 80 and 40 disabled soldiers are
working on the large Tamarack ranch
near Brawley. The men are given in
struction through professor from the
Brawley high school two or three times
q week. In this manner the trainees
learn both the practical and theoretical
side of farming.
A number of the men on Tamarack
ranch have made sufficient money this
year from their lettuce crops to war
rant the purchase of small farm tracts.
They have signified their intention of
buying land before planting time next

GERMANY JOINS WITH BRITAIN
OF A SENATOR

What does a United States Sen
ator actually think Of the United
States Senate?
What are the real inside work
ings Of that "august body?'
The United Press presents here
with the answers to these questions
il a series of six remarkable stories
given to Lawrence Martin, chief Of
the Capitol Staff of the United
Press, by one of the most prominent
senator's in public life in the last
90 years. The articles give strik-
ing insight into the life OF that
body on which not only American
but world attention has been foe
used in recent years.
The articles are a mirror Of
the senate from the viewpoint of
o man who has been on tho "in-
side' for two decades.
All the quotations in the stories
were written by the senator him
self, who asks that his name not be
revealed because of the amazingly
frank manner in which he discusses
the senate.
Some of the high points:
The failure Of the senate.
Why is the senate less effective thai

The pressure of the social lobby.
