Ou making a call at the T. L. Mo-
Kldowucy reaidence, to which he has

uhlp from thorn lumber with which he
will erect a flue roaldcnoo. He recently
purchased the farm on which he now

one of his yours, la a staunch Democrat,
and auya ho boa not nilwed voting for
a Democratic prcaldcnt since 1&I2, The
McICldowncy ntmlly Is quite an ae
(ulsltlon to the neighborhood, and we
wlalt them Joy and peace In their now

gentleman reads without glasses.
MIms Laura Williams Is teaching at
the Klklns sohoothouae. There art
twenty-live scholars In attcudauoe.
The Klklns schoolhouse was among the
firat built in Polk couuty.the first build
ing having been erected in 1851. Mr.
Mattoou, we think, was the first
teacher,
We found L. W. Laughary lu tbe
field at work. His wife left Saturday
for Port land, to attend on her daughter,
Mrs. J. L. IIlrslohner,who was reported
quite 111. Mrs. Simpson, mother of
Mrs. Laughary, was In charge of the
house, Mrs. Hlmpson came to Oregon
In 18-45, and bus coiitluuously resided
upon the place first settled on by her
self and husband, I, M. Simpson. The
chicken business Is being well attended
to by Lafe and family.
At Henry Btaats'i we took our din

Mr, AtwaUir and wlfe.aud wife's slater.
Traoey, the son, was not at home. He
bad started early to the normal school
la company with Mine Helen OrlflUh

Tracy Is a very attentive youth, and
probably some day he may bring out
one of Unas) lady etudenle to stay.
IL K, Hmlth, familiarly kuowu
"Doe," w found engaged In clipping
the hair of one of his neighbors. Doe
has a Una Held of wheat, has gtssl
etock,aud knows bow to take good care
of them, He has a windmill twelve
Uiouaaud feet from his house, aud by
an elevation of 150 feet he Is supplied
will) su abundance of water. Doc

Thirty seholsr are in attendance.
On approaching Iewbivlllfl, we were
impresat'd with the .bought that the

that It has a much room to grow lu
Porilsud had. Henry Kmlth lathe

Misnaming Things
The experienced huntsman in tho woods never wastes
time looking: for bear in Bear Hollow, nor deer along Deer
Creek, nor would he hope to shoot any great number of ducks
on Duck Lake, for his experience has taught him that such
points are always misnamed, and this lesson holds good with
almost everything in life. For instance, in the case of the
brands on articles of food, spices and other ground food
products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly
pure" or "absolutely pure," are without exception the most
villainously adulterated. Tis the wolf in sheep's clothing
The most brazen case is that of the Royal Baking
Powder. This article is branded and paraded before the people
as "absolutely pure" when it contains ammonia. You can
smell it in the can and often in the biscuit while hot -
What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking
powder if she knew it ? They not only destroy the stomach,
but ammonia will destroy the complexion. , -
Not so with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the
only pure cream tartar powder to be obtained, and the
only baking powder made by a physician. Dr. Price has
devoted a life-time to perfecting this old-fashioned, in
dispensable article of .the culinary art that has stood all the
tests and remained tho standard for forty vents,
