HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Dorothy Frey)

Miss Mabelle Phillips, of the high
school, and Miss Marie Anderson, of
Junior high, returned to their classes
Monday after several days absence
because of illness. Miss Ethel Bick-
ford, of the high school, is said to be
convalescing and we hope to see her
back at school soon.
The mid Columbia League basket ball
tournament will be held at The Dalles
Friday night, Saturday and Saturday
night. The Hood River team will par

Klein's spectacular reproduction of
Julius Caesar" in six reels, will be
shown in the high school auditorium.
This film classic in which Anthony No
velli takes the part of Caesar was
filmed in and about Rome. Over 10000
persons appear in some of the scenes.
One of the most important features
shows Caesars Gallic Wars" and his
capture of "Vercingetorix. The eli
max is reached in Ceasar's death at
the hands of Brutus and in Mark An
thongs speech ending with Mischief
thou art fool, take thou what course
thou wilt" This film is obtained
through the University of Oregon ex-
tension department.
The domestic science department dis
continued serving hot lunches last Fri
day noon after a service of nearly four
months. The girls and their teacher
deserve a great deal of commentator
because of their work and the many
sacrifices of time and energy which
they voluntarily made. These lunches
at 10 cents afforded the pupils some
thing hot at the noon hour and the
price was sufficient TO cover all charges
for food. The girls of both the cooking
and sewing classes expect to give an
exhibition to their parents at school in
the near future.
Misses Emma Schmiedeskamp and
Ferroll Swallow, Of the Park Street
school, entertained the teachers Mon

and trader, who was in Hood River m
connection with the picture Hearts

spoken extensively in the United
States, as a lyceum lecturer. has spent
more than 40 years in the far north. /
consequently he had many interesting
experiences TO relate. Mr.. Lewis also
had with him a display Of the fur
clothing that is worn in Alaska.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

D. H. Sorter, of the county game

Although Sheriff Johnson recently
announced that owners of dogs who
failed to pay the annual state license
fee of 81 for males and 81 for females
would be subject to payment of $40
costs as provided by statute, recently
declared constitutional by supreme
court decision, it is estimated that
an approximate 200 citizens have ne
elected payment of the fees. To date
County Clerk Shoemaker reports the
payment of 1872 dog licenses.
Geo. Mellon has become known as
the Hood River Pied Piper, not that he
attracts rats by any musical qualities,
but because. he is considered the lucki-
est rat trapper in Hood River. Rats
made a foray on candy bins at the
Keir drug store. Mr.. Mellon set traps of
various designs, baitlngsthem with ba-
con. To date he has caught Al big
gray rats. Still the rodents are ac-
tive, and he expects to swell the record
materially.

all the block assisted in the execution.
Last Sunday the Hood River Gun
club had one of the best practice shoots
of the season, if not one of the best
since the organization of the club, and
members and non-members seemed to
enjoy 1t thoroughly.
Next Sunday, March IL, 1922, is the
beginning of series of prize shoots.
A shoot for the prizes will be held
every other week for three months,
and at the end of each three months
during the season prize of $40 will be
awarded to high gun in Glass A ; $40
for high gun in Glass b first prize
of $40, and a second prize of 50 to the
two highest scores in Glass G. A
shooter will be required to shoot at 25
targets at each shoot he attends, and
must shoot at 100 targets within the
three months in order to compete for
the prizes.
A standing committee has classified

The other night a l00-kva, 66O0-
2SOO-v transformer burned out at
Powerdale. This transformer was
working with others of its kind be-
tween the 5000 and 2300-v busses at
that station. The turnout caused a
short outage on our entire distribution
system until the bank could be cut
loose from the 23OO-v bus, when SER
vice was restored to the city on the
2OO-v circuit. Some time later when
we got the defective transformer cut
loose and the other two connected in
open delta we were able to restore ser
vice 20 the 660O-v country feeders.

Editor Glacier: The question asked
in the Pine Grove items of last week s
Glacier as to the identity of certain
large flocks of grayish birds with top
knots, and yellow markings on the
wings and tails is one that several peO-
pie have been asking of late. The
birds are cedar wax-wings, often called
cedar birds, so-named for the small red
seed-shaped sealing append
anges often found on the tips of wings
and tails, and for their habit of nest
ing in cedar trees. They usually mi
CRATE in large flocks, separating later
at nesting-time. To the bird student,
they are one of our most attractive
birds, on account of their quiet digni
fled manner, their well-groomed, tai
lor-made" appearance, and the great
tenderness and devotion displayed in
their home life around the nest. In
the east they are sometimes referred
to as cherry-birds, on account of their
activities among the early cherries,
but a scientific examination recently
made of the stomachs of l52 birds
showed that only nine had INDUCED in
cultivated cherries and these would ag-
gregate but five per cent of the years
food.
A popularity of the bird is their al
most total lack of vocal ability. F.
Schuyler Mathews, an authority on
bird song, says that the song OF the
cedar wax-wing does not exist, or if it
ever did, it is now reduced to the level
of pianissimo imitation of the whis-
tie belonging to the Italians peanut
roaster which sings on the corner of
our city streets. Mr.. Mathews adds
that he has managed not without some
difficulty, to locate the note of the av-
erage wax-wlng at E-flat, just three
tones beyond the limit of the piano

that customer fears the stability of
our preferred stock on account of them.
OF course, every cloud has its silver
lining and the power of the press that
threatened to overwhelm us has by it's
very power unearthed the remedy.
Comes now communication from a
man in Texas, referring to the Ore
gonian article, and requesting US to
put him in touch with man who will
procure alive for him some of the
beavers. We have already, in fact,
made arrangements with the Hood
River Game Protective Association to
have those beavers trapped, and if you
hear of large shipments of beaver GO
ing out of Hood River you will know
the inside story. 1t seems fitting,
however, that someone warn our sister
company in Texas of the coming men,
ace. Maybe they can arrange to trans
fer them to the Kansas Gas and Elec-
trio Company where they don't have
trees. BY B. H. Snow in Pacific Pow
er q Light Company Bulletin.
Editor Glacier: During the recent
cold spell in the Pine Grove district a
very large flock of birds which the
writer believes were the cedar wax
wing were to be found. These birds
gather in large groups at this time of
the year, and later separate as mates
and build nests in the orchards or
thickets of part of Oregon and Califor-
MIA. They have a crested head, are Of
light slate color with some white and
yellow on wings and tail, are about
two-thirds the size of the robin.
This group of birds mentioned was
several hundred in number and the
birds are the first of this species re-
member having seen in Hood River.
They sat about in the tree-tops and the
boughs of several trees could be seen
literally bending under the feath cry
weight.
In the nearby orchard there were
many apples left after the fall pick
ing. These the birds ate with the
greatest relish and hardly an apple is
to be found on the trees since their de-
parture. This was an unusual sight
and hope they will make us an annual
visit. Perry E. Wells.

RUIN OF sov1ET1sSa

The soviet government Of Russia,
having brought all sOrts Of disasters
upon it's country, is now beginning to
realize that the worst Of It's evils IL
the condition of famine which has
been steadily growing worse and
which has now enveloped the soviet
stronghold Of Moscow.
With this realization has come con-
temptation Of the fact that II Russia
IL forced to depend upon her own re-
sources 1t will bankrupt the soviet
treasury, as every dollar stored up
will have to be used for famine relief
alone.
In this predicament, the s0viets
have conceived the Idea Of securing
aid from the allies. II the Genoa con
ference should be willing to grant the
soviet government loan" suh1cient
for the reconstruction Of It's country
Russia in turn will grant all the con-
cesions that might be demanded. This
II the scheme.
Meanwhile, the threatened action
by the soviet government for confica-
tion of all church gold and silver has
been put into effect.
In the way Of bringing general ruin
upon a nation, sovietism seems to be
all the success that could be claimed
for 1t.
