The Youth's Companion body is for Every- Of course if you are too young to read, or so old you've forgotten how, yon may not enjoy The Youth's Companion. That's rather a sweeping statement, however, for hosts of children love to have the stories and jingles of the child ren' page read to them. There's many a grandfather and grandmother whose eyes are dim who like nothing better than to sit aud listen to The Companion stories and articles. Many a blind per son and even those who in addition can neither speak nor bear have been cheered by The Companion, its contents having been communicated to them throngh the finucr-tips of friend. The reading of The Youth's Companion is a pretty sure cure for all kinds of loneli ness.

The big revival meeti"gs now being bold at the City Hall are far surpassing the liopen of the moat sanguine, both in point of interest and attendance. Kven the leaders of the movement entertained some doubt as to whether much could be exoected durini? the first week, but!"' the voters on election day. Don't when the crowds filled the available seats, not only on Sunday night, but on "blue Monday" ai Well, a genuine en thtifia-rn gripped the people. The meetings have already become the talk of the town, - Naturally, the great commanding figure ol the great campaign is "Brother Van, "as evangelist C. M. Van Marter ia popularly called. At tne very Cist service Van made good with all clas.es. He ia dueply and genuinely religious. The moct pious can find no fault with him unless purchance they are num bered among thoe who believe tha a long face is an index lo inner purity. Van is a bitter pill for such a fellow. He appeals alike to the non-cburch goer and the virile Christian by insisting that diariplelship is a strong man's job. His flnving of the mamby-plamby tvpe of churchman is most mercilecs. Chriat is his standard and he declares in no un certain terini that to follow him will demand the lest there is in a "live" man. He repeatedly calls attention to what we all recognize as a truth, viz., tb it a man cannot come to his best self while he clings to habits and practices which his better judgment pronounces out of hiirinoney with highest type of life. N an's preaching is chnrar-teriaticof the sake. It Is a tl ish of light that illumin ates and reveals the b-unty of an old : truth. If you want to laugh nnd grow ; better while you gruw fat hear him. IIepth of conviction and sincerity of .... I purpose are mighty factors in Van's i success. The latter attribute is fully , reveale 1 in his '"to rm." ! He makes no contract f ra stipulated J salary. His only request is that ho be given what the p-ople chose to present him with at the closj of ihe scries of meetings. Nor does ha always pull the wiie for big cities where returns are cor- respondingly large. He is the regularly appointed evangelist of the O egon con ference of the Mettiodiat h'pisc ipal church and has come to M. Helens as willinir'.v hi if it were a cifv twice its nre- 1 cut sue. He is a represent .live of the class of ministers who give money a sec- I I ondarv nlace. realiiue that the present I generation of laymen will adequately! movide for the temporal needs of the preacher who "works at his job." Hut neither Van nor his message is the whole attraction. St. Helena is en joying a real treat in the solo and chorus work of C. M. Hadlev. Mr. Hadley has a very pleasing voice. His solos are much appreciated. His influence on our city will I felt long after he is gone J by reason of the masterful training he is giving the splendid chorus choir. The choir already numbers fifty voices but Mr. 1 1 ad ley hopes to increase the num- ber to at least seventy-live. are invited to join. All singers Services will continue every night this week except Saturday Sunday is to be made a great day Preaching at 1 1 :00 and 7 ;30. The Sunday school, which last w eek numbered 135 members, will meet in the ball nt9:4"j. Everyone is invited to all thc;e cervices. ELECTION NOTICE Notice is hereby given thnt on Mon day, the third day of April, 1011, there will be held at the council room in the U'ity Hall building, in the city of St. j Hi-lens, the annual city election. I The polls to be opened at the hour ol eight o'clock a. m. and lo remain open until the hour of Seven o'clock p. m. of said dny. Tlie purpose of said election is to elect otlicors as follows, to-wit: One mayor, to serve one year. Two councilinen, to serve two year, One treasurer, to serve one year. One water commissioner, to s-rve Dye years. GF.OUGK II. FLAGU, City Recorder. The St. Helens Improvement Co. has announced that on the first day of May the price of nil unsold lots in Railroad addition will le advanced 10 per cent. The rapid growth of that part of St, Helens and the certainty of other aul stau'iiil Improvements there in ' the lii ture justifies the in making this raise. Until May 1st they will sell any of the untold lota at the old price. ATTEND THE MASS MEETING Kvery legal yoter of the City of St, Helens, whether registered or uot, should attend the mei meeting to be held at the City Hall tonight. Turn out in lull force and show by your presence that you are intereated in the affairs of the cty and intend to eecure the election of a ticket that will command the respect united support of a great majority stay away and then kick at the result. We want rnen this time who will carry on the good work and in some respect do better than their predecessors. We want a mayor who will not only appoint a good man for marshal, but will 'hack rum up when he does hi duty and put hi iu on the carpet whenever he fails to enforce the city ordinances The city has gone along on the peak -easy plan long enough. Fair warning should be given and then every city ordinance should be enforced without fear or favor. Drunks thou'd be arrested and lined or put to work upon the streets. The laws of cleanliness ami decency should be en forced. Gambling of all kill Is, whether in ealoons, pool rooms, or at the ball games, should be suppressed. But there should be do pets. The law tnuct be applied to all alike. And that this may come to paes a man must be selected for major who has the nerve to do the work. We hope the mass meeting wiil nominate such a nun, and that it will adopt a platform pledging him to these aud other needed reforms in our city government. Make St. Helens a clean city, both morally and physically. NEWCOMER INVESTS HERE Mr. Hayes Estabrook, who recently came to St. Ileleus, evidently considers this place a good live town and a good place (or investment, as he has bought one of the beat lots in R ailroad Addi tion near the proposed Depot Site. OBITUARY Alice I). Kale, wife of George Kale, died at her home near Yankton ou Sat urday, March, 18, 1911. She was born in this county, March 17, 1SS3, an I mar ried orge Kale Nov. 2C, 1900. She leaves a host of friends who join f l . . 1 I : &yuii'Biuy;ior me. ucicavcu companion and three children who are lett without a mother's love and care. The tie that binds two hearts in wedded i love is beautiful and strong. Forsaking 'all other relations they cleave to each I other and become one flesh. But, how ever strong the tie, it ii broken by a stroke, and death parts those whom God hath joined together. This world has rightly been called a "Vale of Tears" and if there is one place I where tears fl w faster than any other it ccrisiuiy wiieie a loving wife and precious mother lies cold in death, Keenest sorrow comes to those who love luo5' She. was laid to rest in the Yankton ''ry after service in the church by the pastor.

ST. HELEN'S IMPROVEMENT CO. Matting at Muckle's. 20c per. yard TEACHING FARMERS BY MAIL. O. A. C. Has Correspondaisce Course ia F arm Accounting and Business Method Oregon Agricultural College, Corvalli Ore., aiarch iil The principle of mak ing the college of direct, practical service to every tax payer of thehtate of Oregon, of carrying Its a-sistance and instruction out to these who are unable to attend the course at Corvallis, is demonstrated in a striking manner by the Oregon Agricultural College in its new corres pondence course in farm accounting and business methods, given by the school of commerce under Dean J. A. Bexell. One advantaga to the fanners, in addition to the fact that it is free lo all. is that it can be taken np at any time, and be carried op at the conveni ence of the ttudent, without restriction -as to the number of months it covers. There are already fifty students enrolled in tlie work, and it has so attracted the attention of the publi-hersof the bulletin of lesson instruction that they have envolved a plan by which Dean Bexell's course can be offered by all the different agricultural schools throughout the country, adapted to each locality and its particular ueed3. As fast as the funds and instructional force at the college will allow, other ouires will be added lo ihe correspond ence work for farmer, including a study of rural law, and agricultural economies. Unfortunately the legislature did not allow the appropriatisn requested for this work, so it can not at this time receive the attention and development planned for it. It is the policy of the college, however to extend these advan-Ugi-s to the people of the rural communi ties of the etate as fast as resources will permit. TUO ISAKDS STUDY FARM BL'SIXISS MtTH ODS Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis, Ore., March 21 That thousand are studying farm accounting and busi- Less methods as taught by Dean J. A. Bexell. of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege school of commerce is demonstrated beyond doubt by the fact that the first edition ol 2,000 volumes of his text on the subject was exhausted a short time aftivr it came from the press, and a new edition of 4,000 copies mote thus made necessary, to supply the demand. From every state in the Union re quests for copies have been received, . several hundrod still unsatis6ed. A large number of tlie 'agricultural colleges of the country and the farm journals have written Mr. Bexell of their apprecia tion of the value of the work. Already several high school and colleges have adopted it as the textbook to be used in instruction in farm business methods and accounts. "My aim," said Mr. Cexwell, in dis cussing the book, has been to make the exercises in it a practical as possible, but no nttempt has been made to limit the illustrations to actual experience on any particular farm. For this reasoa both prices and results Will vary con siderably fr;.m actual practice. This will not, however, reduce their illus trative value. I have introduced many new new labor saving devices conform ing with the best business methods. "The increasing interest shown in farm accounting aud business methods would warrant a belief that it will shortly be introduced in the high schools of the country as one of the regular subjects for instruction. Surely there is no other more eadly neglected, and none more worthy of attention. I (hall be grateful for any suggestions or criti- ' cisms from farmers or teachers who be come acquainted with my book, as they w ill greatly aid me in the preparation of future editions." WILL BUILD TWO COTTAGES Mr. J. II. (irillis, the well known contractor and builder, has bought two desirable lots in Railroad Addition and states that during the spring or sum mer he will erect two comfortable cot tages for sale or rent.
