CORNETT SALE AD
CARRIES WRONG DATE
Because of the fact that the
compositor dropped a line while
setting the advertisement of
Cornett ft Co. In the Journal of
last week, the ad wai made to
read that the sale was to tsart
on October SO, while the fact Is
that the sale will close on that
date, having opened on Satur-
day of last week, and we are
glad to say Is being excellently
patronized, unusual bargains in
ell dry good line being offered.
In doing our part to rectify
the error, which printers, being
only human, are sure to make
sometimes, we printed and mail-
ed nlacarda to subscribers
throughout the territory calling
attention to the facts, at our
own expense.
While we are sorry that this
or any other mistake has oc
cured In this office, every dark
cloud haB its silver lining and
the scores ot people that brot
the error to the attention ot the
advertiser proves conclusively
to him and everyone else Inter
ested that everybody read the
Journal ads, and pay attention
to what they say. '
Never again can any adver-
ttser or prospective advertiser
tell us that the people don't all
read the Journal ads.

At a meeting held last Friday
night, it wss decided that Crook
County Post, No. 29, American Le
gion would give a series of dances

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
M. R. Gallaher, Pastor
General Jan Christian Smuto says:
"For doubt It not that we are at the
beginning of a new century. The
old world Is dying around us; let it
also die In us. Once more in the
history of the human race we hear
! the great Creative Spirit utter those
tremenduous words: "Behold, I
make all things new. Old ideas ot
wealth, of poverty, of class and so
cial relations, of moral and spiritual
values are rapidly changing. The
old political formulas sound hollow,
the old landmarks by which we used
to steer are disappearing beneath a
great flood. The furnace through
which we have passed has melted the
hard crust of our life, and the old
fixtures and certainties are fliud once
more." In this period of uncertain
ties we must have a strong ship that
can weather the storm or we shall
be wrecked. Let us look into some
phases of these great subjects on
Sunday at 11 a.m.
The evening sermon will take us
on a quest of heaven. This la a
place well worth loking into. The
"Home" church will melcome you.
Last Sunday evening some J the
young people ot the Methodist church
met and formed a temporary organ
ization ot an Epworth League, which
wiu hold Its first meeting Sunday
night at 6:30, with the pastor.as
leader. All young people are Invit

The award of the two 100 prize

of the beat thingi that any comunlty
town or state can boast of.
First, they have the products, than
which there are none better In the

their stuff, and show to the world
what they have:
We have given much space in the
past to the discussion of the Powell
Butte spirit, which has but one rival
in the county, and that Is Post, the
home of the Post Rabbit Club.
In the present Instance, a com
mute was appointed to bring out the
exhibit, by the comunlty club and
the difference between this commit

Powell Butte folks work when asked,
by their neighbors to do so.
This committee was composed of

SOMETHING ABOUT
"SHORE ACRE8
"Shore Acres" is a story ot plain
New England folk on the rockribbed
coast of Main. Martin Berry, a
stern old-lighthouse keeper, forbidi
his spirited daughter Helen to speak
to the man she loves. It is Martin's
fondest hope that Helen will marry
Josiah Blake, the village banker.
Helen refuses to obey her father,
and elopes with her sweatheart on
the "Llddy Ann," a vessel bound
down the coast. Her father learns
of her departure, and, insane with
rage, he prevents his brother, Na
than'l, from lighting the beacon that
will guide the vessel safely out thru
the rocks ot the harbor. Desperate
ly the two men battle together in the
lighthouse -one to save the vessel,
the other to destroy her. A sou'
easter 1b raging, and during their
struggle the "Liddy Ann" goes oa
the rocks, and the passengers are
left to the mercy of the storm. Th
scene fairly makes the nerves tingle
with excitement. What befalls
thereafter is thrillingly unfolded In
this picturation of the greatest Am
erican play of the century. "Shore
Acres" is a big human drama ot
thrill and heart throbs, replete with
delicious humor and tender pathos.
