1923 — 100 years ago

At both meetings of the Sunday Evening Club at Riverside Church, held the first and third Sunday evenings of the month, local people will furnish the program. Next Sunday at 7:30, Mr. Boddy, who is entering upon is last month of service in Hood River, will speak on the pertinent subject, “Prohibition, Success or Failure.” This promises to be one of the most interesting lectures given by the local pastor. — Hood River News

A Plea For Carriers

The boy who brings The Chronicle to your home each day, braves the storm or the cold or whatever the weather may be to see that you get the paper. He brings you the newspaper, plus his service, for 50 cents a month.

Next Saturday he will call at your door for his recompense. The 50 cents you pay for The Chronicle is his money, not ours, because he buys the papers from us each day.

Remember the date — next Saturday — and have the four bits ready. — March 1, 1923, Chronicle Publishing Co.

Chickens Explore Strange Alley And Come Home Drunk

One day last week, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Patison, recent residents of Wamic, but who now live near the East Hill school in The Dalles, having occasion to repair their chicken yard, turned out their flock of chickens to range at will for the afternoon.

Going gleefully down an alleyway, the chickens apparently set out “new lands to conquer.” That they met with some measure of success may be surmised when, to the surprise and consternation of their owners, they returned late in the evening in a state of actual intoxication.

“Drunk as Lords,” they staggered dizzily in, twirling and twisting about, but nevertheless determined to get back to their rightful stalls again. Their queer antics were attributed to the fact that The Dalles, as well as other near-by points, undoubtedly has a mysterious “Moonshine Street,” or “Moonshine Alley,” down which the chickens must have wandered on their journey of exploration that afternoon. — March 2, 1923, The Dalles Daily Chronicle

Illness Demoralizes School System

School work has been badly demoralized during the past week, because of so much illness of both teachers and pupils. Among the teachers, Mrs. L.B. Gibson, of Coe School, Prin. Bessie M. Goyette, Mrs. Tina Cramer, Miss Florence Hudson, and Miss Emma Schmeideskamp from Park St. School; Mrs. Pearl Hollingsworth and Miss Lucile Gegenheimer, of the High school, all have been ill during the past week. On Monday the entire staff of five substitute teachers were called up on by Supt. A.M. Cannon to take the place of absent teachers. Other teachers in the several schools were suffering more or less from the prevailing epidemic of bad colds.

Many pupils were absent, especially from the High School, as many as 90 being away on one day. Last Monday morning, 56 pupils, who had been absent through sickness reported at school. — March 2, 1923, Hood River News

He Likes Sauerkraut, But Cannot Eat It

Here’s one on Norvin C. Coulter, head for this district of the Office of Price Administration, which is now busy signing everybody up for point rationing.

Sauerkraut, of all commercially canned products now being rationed, is about the lowest of all in point values, which means that folks will be able to buy all the sauerkraut they could possibly require.

But the tragedy is that Norvin cannot eat sauerkraut, although he likes it. — Feb. 26, 1943, Hood River News

Dear Editor,

Goldendale, Feb. 24, 1923: — Editor of The Enterprise, I have read your “Taxpayer’s article” in regard to consolidation of schools, and believe, that he has very nearly solved the problem. It must be either consolidation or Union High School for your vicinity, and I believe the union high is better for Bingen, White Salmon, and Pleasant View. — White Salmon Enterprise
