hen YSs, LA GRANDE EVENING' OBSERVER Till PAGE TWO MBLER BAD GIVES A MINSTREL ENTERTAINMENT IS GREAT HIT Various Vule-tide Eventg Are Largely .. Attended. Imbler, Dec 25. (Special) The Minstrel concert staged last Thurs day evening by the Imbler -Brass band was a decided success. First came a haJf hour concert and, while the . boys were abusing their visages pre paratory to the minstrel, a film was run by Lawrence Wiggan to amuse the waitinir audience. When the cur- ' tain rose and disclosed the boys sing ing the opening chorus it would have been a wise father indeed who knew his own son. Aftey the opening chorus, during which the following "coons" Sherwood Williams, Darrell Larsen,' Kipling Larsen, Lyal String ham and Lamar Westenskow sang solos, the gags began. W. V. Connor was the interlocutor, with Owen All phin, Eugene Blanchard, Walter Fur man and Joe Keown acting as end men. During this ' part of the en tertainment the following boIos were given: D. C. Wilson, "Who Knows." Sherwood Williams, "Somewhere a Voice is Calling." Lamar Westenskow, "You are the Rose of my Heart." Darrell Larsen, "Dancing the Jelly Roll." , After the minstrel part several specialties were staged including a fake trombone solo and an artist stunt by Lynn Stringham and Dar rell Larsen, a monologue "Grape Juice Sam," by D. C. Wilson, closing chorus and cake-walk, the former by eight voices, Messrs. Williams, Wil son, Henrie Allphin, Stringhnm, All phin, Larsen and Larsen, and the cake-walk by William and Connor. Much credit for the success of the en tertainment was due to outside help, Messrs. Allphin, Wilson and Allphin and especially Mrs. William who acted as pianist. Mildred Leader, who has been stay ing at the home of W. V. Connor for several months, left Friday for En terprise where her parents now re side. Jack Clary boarded the train Friday for Joseph to spend the holiday week with his mother. Both the M. E. and L. D. S. Sunday Schools celebrated Christinas by pro grams, trees and treats Friday even ing The Larsen orchestra furnished thu music for the dance Friday night. Thursday afternoon School No. 78, after appropriate exercises, closed for the Christmas vacation and Principal Joseph Eshelman left fur Portland where he will spend the holidays. Owing to a delay in shipping the reels from Portland the fourth in stallment of the Million Dollar Mys tery was postponed from Wednesday to Saturday evening. Invitations are out for ia social at the home of Miss Elva Conklin and given 'by Mr. F. S. Flrancis. The date is New Year's Eve. Kev. Womack was down from El gin and preached at the local M. EV church Sunday evening. Ruby Rol lins led the young people's meeting. A watch party at the church on New Year's Eve is being planned, as has been the custom on former New Year's Eve.

Adv, . you want it is Newling Drug the Your money back if the way in which the company are selling Mi-o-na, great dyspepsia remedy. This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na has so much merit and is so al most invariably successful in reliev ing all forms of indigestion that they run but little risk in selling under a guarantee of this kind. Do not be miserable or make your friends miserable with your dyspep sia. Mi-o-na will help you. If it doesn't tell Newlin's Drug company that you want your money back and they will cheerfully refund it. A change for the better will be seen from the first few doses of Mi-o-na and its continued use will soon start you on the road to perfect di gestion and enjoymftiit of food. Mi-o-na has been so uniformly suc cessful that every box is sold under a positive guarantee to refund the money if it does not relieve. What fairer proposition could be made? Newlin's Drug company give their personal guarantee of "money back if you want it" with every box of Mi-o-na that they sell. A guarantee like this speaks volumes for the merit of the remedy. Mrs. Irene Sheffield.

Can a stare ho felt? A woman who has conducted many experiments snys It can, that "no matter how deep her absorption, the stare at her back will always disturb her. All girls feel a stare." Dr. Coovcr, "a psychologist," says a stare Is not felt and that he has tested It a thousand times. It Is probably all imagination on the part of the woman, for It Is easy In such cases for what one Imagines to be come real to her. Where she passes a man, mid be stares tit her, she can doubtless fool that staro a block away, for it will take awhile for the Impres sion of a Btare to pass away. Stares are no doubt a great ahnoyauce to wo men, but there Is no way to prohibit them. The only way to do to abolish the stare Is for women to dress simply nd go modestly about their business. -rOhlo Btsu Journal. FOR RENT Three modern furnished roms for housekeeping. Phone Red 11.
