Montaville Flowers A Dynamic Man ONTAVILLE FLOWERS, who is coming to Chautauqua with his great ffl locturo, "Guarding the Golden Gate," has won a distinctive place on the American platform. Me is a speaker of dynamic power, a man of brilliant mind and breadth of vision. His lecture has been delivered in practically every largo city In the United States and has attracted country wide attention. It is n masterly discussion of the Japanese problem in America; its rise, meaning, trend and present status. It is a portentous question, Involving American destiny, and l"low ers, with first hand knowledge of all the conditions, treats it in a broad, Statesmanlike manner. j THE NEW STAR BARBER SHOP J - The one place in town where quality and up-to- North Powder News Itev. Mr. Pratt Raises Money for Par sonage Births Are Reported Lib eral Response to Red Cross Chau tauqua Is a Success New Cashier In Bank Wood Hauling Under Way School Election Held Grain Looks Well But Needs Rain. North Powder, July 2. (Special) It is reported that Rev. Mr. Pratt, the M. E. minister, who preaches at ' North Powder, has raised $300 for the building of a parsonage, I Bom, on June 28th to Mr. and Mrs. .Will Hutchinson, a son. I Born, on Juno 29th to Mr. and Mrs. Fred 'Bull, a son. Born, on June 19th to Mr. and Mrs. James Hanson, a son. Johnnie O'Bryant, Dr. Notz and Mr. . McColodh, of Baker, were in town last week helping in securing funds for the Red Cross and we are glad to say met with a liberal response by the good people of North Powder and vi cinity. , The recent Chautauqua was a com plete success in every way and a unanimous vote was taken at the close to have one the coming year. Good crowds attended every day and they grew larger towards the end. Tho last night witnessed the largest crowd of all the time and the Chautauqua went out in a blaze of glory and reso lutions that we would have a larger and better next year. Chas. Law has been hauling wood from the mountains above Telocaset with his truck. By leaving his homo early in the morning he can be back by noon whereas starting at the same time with a team it takes all day. He took a big truck to Union on Friday with his machine. The truck would take four big horses to haul it. Tho young man likes (his machine very much and says that it does all that the makers guarantee it to do. Mr. Simms returned to Portland last week and the new cashier Mr. Clure who succeeds him, took charge of the bank. . Mr. Clure's wife and family will soon come to North Pow der and make their future home here. Grant Dalton is hauling in his win ter's supply of wood. Jeff Pearce is cutting his and will haul it in later. Everyone is busy about their. winter's supply of wood and moat of the ranch' ers are hauling their wood in before harvest. It looks as if there will be no scarcity of fuel in this part of the state for the coming winter. The school election in North Pow der was very poorly attended and but few present. Chins Johnson was re elected and Mr. Russell was re-elected as clerk. A few of the people ' on Wolfe Creek met last week to make plans lor the Fourth. A r-' oug the email number present nothing definite was done. Another meeting will be called and it is hoped that more will be present. Prof. Hall, superintendent of the North Powder schools, was in town during the Chautauqua and attended all the sessions. They were too good to miss. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Starkweather and children arrived from their home at Stanfield and will spend some time here visiting with friends and relatives. Mrs. Starkweather was formerly Miss Carrie Gorham and has lived in this section practically all her life. Mrs. Windom Carries, who was taken to Hot Lake for treatment some time ago, is ct home and is as well a3 ever. Mrs. Blevins, who has been ill for some time was able to be out during the Chautauqua. R. H. Evans, of Portland, has pur chased an interest in the Telocaset store and wiil tako charge of the store. Mr. Hyatt will take up his farming interests but will still retain an interest in the store. Telocaset is a good town and the new firm will do a good business. Mrs. J. T. Shaw has been at Medi cal Springs taking a vacation and a much needed rest. The road on Wolfe Creek was so badly washed out during the recent high waters that people living in that vicinity could not get out. The roads are now being repaired and if the road was changed in a few places this trouble would not occur again. Several of the men in and around North Powder have staked out min ing claims at the Wolf Creek mines as they were called in the early day. They aro now busy doing assessment wor. What they expect to uncover is not known. These mines were said to be rich producers several years ago. There is also a legend about a famous mother lode in that part of the couti. try that has never been found . We hope that these miners will find all kinds of rich minerals. Harry Hall spent a few days in town during the Chautauqua. He had just returned from Portland where he had visited with his mother and fam ily. This section of the county needs rain very much. The grain is looking tine in the warm spell we have been having but showers just now will help immensely. The dry belt will have very little grain unless we have rain; in a short time. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. ( Now is the time to buy a bottle olj this .remedy so as to be prepared iri case thot any one of your family should have an attack of colic or dlar, rhoea during the summer months. It is worth a hundred times its cost when needed. Adv. COVE ADOPTS ELABORATE FOURTH OF JULY PROGRAM Cove, Or., July 2. (Special) An old-fashioned Fourth of July picnic program has 1 "en adopted here.

Perhaps it has not occurred to you that you might be able to EARN MONEY AS A WRITER. You have not classed yourself as a confrere of Kipling, or of Irvin Cobb. You have read of the high prices commanded by some of these top-notch writers for their work but it has never dawned upon you that there are other forms of WRITING which yield great rewards, often greater than those won by popular authors. Yet this is true. Among your own acquaintances there are, doubtless, men and women who have earned very high rewards for good writing. We refer to people who write SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISEMENTS. A man has some reul estate to sell. He may need to make a quick sale, and is willing to sacrifice something of the value of the property for the sake of the quickly realizing some cash. That property may be worth u great deal more to one buyer than to another. His problem is to find the man to whom it is worth most. He writes a classified ad. If ho strikes tho right note, gets his selling argument "over," he enlists the interest of the right man in his offering, makes tho sale at a fair price and in curs no great sacrifice of money. The ad costs a few dollars, pet haps and earns for him hundreds. The same thing happens with advertisers in other lines of the classified. To be able to write a message or an offer clearly, forcibly, convincingly that is to be able to command a very great reward AS A WRITER. HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN AS AN AD WRITER? Why not test the matter in connection with something you have to sell, or with something you want? baskets and to spend the day. Cof- i
