1 I Christmas With Craven & Huff issepbccti -a 'Some war," says Huff. "Betcher life," says Craven. "I notice that it will cause some difference in the Christmas trade this year," says Huff. "How so?" says Craven. "People will buy presents this year but a different kind-useful essential things," says Huff. "Right you are and our store is the place to buy 'em," says Craven. "Sure, it's the place. We know it because we've been here all the time," says Huff. "The lady of the house would be better pleased with a new cook stove than a pearl necklace this Christmas," says Craven. "Sure, cutlery of any sort, silverware, dozens of articles we sell," says Huff. "We ought to furnish the whole family from little Johnnie to the old maid aunt," says Craven. "We will if they come in," says Huff. "They'll come in all right," says Craven. "Now for the Old Man," says Huff, "I would buy". "You mean father," says Craven. "Yes, father ought to have--say a razor to slick up with on Sun day morning," says Huff. "We'll sell a few hundred this year," says Craven. "The Boss," says Huff, "ought to be better equipped to get up the Christmas dinner she needs anew roaster and other utensils." "You mean the lady of the house," says Craven. "Same party," says Huff. "Every family has a girl," says Huff, "and-" "We haven't," says Craven. "There's not a man or woman in this county who can't find something suitable for a girl in this Store," says Huff. "Won't be out fault if they can't," says Craven. "Buy a young wagon for the little boy, a good knife 'or the small boy and a gun for the big boy," says Huff. What about the middle-sized boy?" says Craven. "He feels big enough to accept a man's present' says Huff. The Place to Buy Useful Presents "Why don't you cultivate that growth on your face so you can be Old Santa Claus next year," says Huff. "Cut it out, that's plenty," says Craven. STATE MUSIC TEACH ERS ASSOCIATION A most interesting and profit able meeting of the State Music Teachers' Association was held in Portland Friday and Satur day, November 30 and Decem ber 1. Aside from the inspira tional music heard, some very helpful and practical sugges tions were offered by business men and women of the city, and the business sessions were especially interesting. One of the features of the meeting was an address by Judge Corliss in which he em phasized the love of the beauti ful. A very high tribute was paid the musicians, who are, mere than anyone else, teaching the beautiful. Especially in this time of world upheaval it is more important than ever that we turn our attention to music, which if properly taught, de velops the finer qualities of one"s nature as no other study ean. A definite policy concerning hfoh school credits for music was approved which will be adopted by State Supt. Churchill. A standard is to be maintained for teachers and students of music, J which must be met before pupils can receive credit for the study of music outside of school. This j will enable the universities to! grant full study for music study. : The spirit "of good will pre-: dominated thru the entire mtet-j ing which proves that the lead-1 ing musicians of the state arej willing to sacrifice personal gain I for the sake of promoting music as an art thruout thf state.

Geers, the famou3 driver of harness horses, who is now fifty-eight years old, thirty os which have been spent in the development of trotters and pacers, in speaking about the selection of horses for tracn pur poses, says: "The only way to pick a horse is just the way you would pick a friend. Beauty doesn't count. Yoj look at him square in the face, and is he has a good head, full face, a fine eye. and a good matured ear. he is all rijjht. If he looks like a convict, let him alone."

I MADGE KENNEDY MAKES HER PICTURE DEBUT Madge Kennedy, the famous comedienne of "Twin Beds" and "Fair and Warmer," makes her first appearance as a motion picture star in Margaret Mayo'a rollicking farce comedy, "Baby Mine," which is the attraction at the Isis Theatre December 12 and 13. This production is the first comedy offering by the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation, which has arranged a long program of big productions with such stars, in addition to Miss Kennedy, as Mae Marsh, Maxine Elliott, Jane Cowl, Mary Garden and Mabel Normand. "Baby Mine" has been elabor ated for the picture presentation from a comedy that ranked as one of the most successful of re cent years and which made a fortune for its owners and pro ducers. The 6tory of "Baby Mine" is that of a young wife whose pleasure seeking inclinations cause her sober-minded husband to leave her. Madge Kennedy plays the part of the wife, Zoie, and Frank Morgan is the hus band. To entice him home again, Zoie announces the arrival of an heir in the family. Alfred, who im mediately rushes home, arrives earlier than expected and com plicates the scheme of Zoie and her friends, Aggie and Jimmie, to provide a baby fr m a found ling home. Jimmie (played by John Cum berland) has to steal the baby from the home, and when the outraged mother of the child learns of the theft, Jimmie has to get another baby from the washwoman, who has just be come the mother of twins. In the resulting mixup Alfred finds both babies and is told he is doubly a father. But the anguished mother de mands her child, and to continue the deception, the other twin of the washwoman is borrowed. Jnce more, before the first child can be taken away, Alfred comes onto the scene and discovers three babies. Thereupon he is told that he has been presented with triplets. But very soon the father of the twins and the mother of the other child steal into Zoie'a apart ment and recover their babies. As they leave the building they are taken in hand by a police man who brings the parents and children back to the apartment, where Zoie nas to confess the deception. But she has accom plished the object of setting Alfred back. Merchant's Wife Advises Independence Women "I had stomach trouble ao bud 1 could eat nothing but toat, fruit and hot water.
