WOMEN'S CliUB HOLDS ITS
ANNUAL BOOK WEEK PROGRAM
Illumination of Route Said to Be In
Contemplation by a Leading Rail
road System.
Brilliant night Illumination of Its
picturesque transcontinental route is
the plun contemplated by a large rail
road system In this country, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. The Idea,
as conceived at present, Is to equip
the observation coaches of Its fast lim
ited trains with a battery of powerful
floodlights. These lights would be ar
ranged to cover a range of approxi
mately 160 degrees, with sufficient
height nnd depth to Illuminate the can
yons, rivers, lakes and mountains In
the vicinity of the right of way, as
the train rushes on through the night.
Power for operating the lamps would
be furnished by the axle-driven gener
ators with which railroad cars are
now commonly equipped, and which
ordinarily are nover used to their full
capacity.
Although thus far the location of
the floodlights has been confined to
the observation car, certain officials
have suggested the advisability of
placing them along the full length of
the train. Also, further to enhance
the effect, It has been proposed to em
ploy lamps, or reflectors of various
colors, which would undoubtedlyyleld
falryllke scenes, particularly when di
rected upon snow-covered surfaces.
Railroad men In authority have noth
ing but praise for the scheme, and
while eagerly awaiting the completion
of the Initial floodlighting equipment,
have pointed out the fact that there
Is an additional and practical value
of the brilliant lights as a protection
against rear-end collisions.
CAMEOS MADE BY MACHINERY
Chlldron's Book .Week was ob

man's club on Novombor lGth. The
meeting was held In tho now club

Mrs. S. D. Dortnan annd Mrs. J. R.
BInckaby as hostesses.
Tho members onjoyed a beautiful

garding child reading and traced
tho growth of chlldron's llteraturo
from Venorablo Bodo to literature

of "Tho Road to Childhood." Mrs.
E. M. Grelg gavo some valuable In

Tho mombors ontorod Into n discus

REAL ESTATE TRANSFER OF
EXCELLENT PROPERTV MADE
GETTING HEADY FOR ANNUAL
HALE OF CHRISTMAS' SEAIJS
Mrs. Joseph Stapled, chairman of
tho annual Christmas seal sale for
th,o antituberculosis socloty lms bo
gun preparations for tho annual sale
hero, assisted by members of tho
Woman's club. Tho soals go on sale
next wook.
A real ostnto deal rocorded in tho
past wook shows that tho demand
for good property In Ontario is be
ing malntnlnod and that good pur
chases promise adoquato roturns to
Investors in Outnrlo proporty. The
doal meutlonod nbovo was that of
tho R. S. Rutherford proporty on the
comer of Oregon street and Mon
tana avonuo purchased by Fred
Lawson of the Independent Market,
nnd Includes threo lots, on tho in
side of -which is tho Ruthorford two
story dwelling. The consideration
was $3, COO which ;s deemed by
thoso who know values, an oxtremo
ly nttrnctlvo price for tho buyor.
The' proporty is noxt to tho Orogou
Trail Garago which sold this spring
for $32,000. Whilo tho proporty Is
now usod for residential purposos,
It Is right at tho odgo of the busi
ness district nnd ultimately will bo
business property. Mr. Lawson has
not dotormlnod upon what courso to
tako In improving tlio property but
has under contemplation tho erec
tion of an nppartmont house.
Engraving, Such as Was Common In
the Earlier Ages, Has Practically
Become Lost Art.
The engraving of cameos has prac
tically ceased to be pursued as an art.
Roman manufacturers cut stones, in
large quantities to be used as scarf
studs and as settings In linger rings;
and in Rome and Paris nn extensive
trade Is cnrrled on In the cutting of
shell enmeos, which are largely export
ed Into England and mounted In
brooches.
The principal shell used Is the large
bull's mouth shell, found In Etst In
dian seas, which has a sard-like un
derlayer. The black helmet of Mada
gascar and the pinky queen's conch of
the West Indies are also used.
The famous potter, Joslah Wedg
wood, Introduced a method of making
Imitations of cameos In pottery by
producing white figures on a colored
ground, this constituting the peculiar
ity of what Is known as Wedgwood
warp. These cheap cameos are large
ly machine made, or are turned out
by rough workmen and touched up
by the better type of artists. In some
cases these enmeos are made of stone,
such as cornelian, sardonyx and cor
al, hut none of them are of a high
type of art.
also discussed somo of the many
things learend by tho growers this
year.
"Wo had contracts for 1500 acres
between Ashton and Welser said
Mr. McCall and we prepared to han
dle at least that many cars, when we
actually only shipped 22G cars. All
tho overhead for a business of 1500
cars is thus placed on the 226 ac
tually shipped.
"The failuro of the crops due to
hot weather was something that no
ono could forsee, and came so sud
denly that we wero taken by com
plete surprise and had to work out
tho best wo could. The charge of
20 conts per crato mado to tho
growers has been credited to them
and will be repaid next year and tho
year following from the savings pos
sible by reason of tho fact that the
supplies we have on hand can be
used next year."
Tho producers union sold approxi
mately one-third of all tho lettuce
sold from tho territory and tho
growers nt tho moeting nftor listen
ing to the rumors as to prices paid
to other growers apparently were
satisfied that they got on an aver
age as much, if not more than other
growers -will net. So far tho grow
ers of tho Producers Union are the
only ones who have actually received
cash for their crops, so far as could
bo learned..
Advises to Hold Potatoes
Mr! Hall in discussing the potato
situation advised those who had
storage space to store their pota
toes. He expressed the belief that
beforo spring there would be an in
creased demand for spuds which
would Justify shipment.
According to the reports given at
the meeting on potato returns none
of the ranchers had to pay freight
bills for the potatoes shipped while
tho averago price received by the
producers was about 42 cents per
bushel. The price In some cases
went as low as 15 cents per bushel.
The company still has a largo quan
tity of sacks on hand and has not
determined upon a plan for settle
ment for those advanced but not
used.

"A newly elected squire In Wiscon

much oluted by his honors, but was
not sure that he could carry them
gracefully. So he haunted the court
house to gather stray crumbs of wis

"One day he sat In Judgment on
