How Little It Costs
To Attend Chautauqua
on the Season Ticket Plan
You wouldn't buy a ticket at every
station if you were going on a long
trip would you? Don't attend the
Chautauqua that way either. Buy
a through ticket. It saves you mon
ey. Single admissions a"
three times the amount of a season
ticket.
Twenty-Two Attractions
$2.50
About 10c Each
Think of hearing the Chautauqua
Orchestra for a trifle over ten
cents, or the Waikiki Hawaiian
Quintet, in full evening concert, or
the Comus Players less than 12c
for a thousand laughs with S. Piatt
Jones on the opening night.

WanlH To Correct Rumor.
Vale, Oregon, Juno 7. Editor En
terprise, Vale, Oregon. Dear Sir: I
wish to correct a rumor which has re
cently gotten over tho town to tho ef
fect that little Johnnie Edwards and
Virgil McKinncy broke into the resi
dence of Mrs. Horton Tuesday morn
ing, and took some money. This re
port is absolutely erroneous, as she
later discovered that the money had
been placed in safe keeping by her
friends, nnd that the little fellows
had merely conic into the house for a
drink of orangeade, which was on one
of tho tables.
1 wish you would publish this state
ment, to clear the little fellows, who
arc not guilty of any offense.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Anna Edwards.

company met the officer of day while
beating his post, nnd was nsked his
general orders, the ninth order, being,
"To allow no one to commit a nui
sance on or near my post." But it
seems he got this order mixed with
his special orders, and instead of civ.
ing it correctly he said, "To allow no
submarines on or near my post."
Marsh Meets Stranger.
Marsh, while beating his post, was
met in tho middle ,of the path by a
"What is it?" He said the thing had
fins, and gills but in the place of a
tail it had two legs. Marsh cocked
his rifle to shoot, but the fish disap
peared in the bushes.
Harold Gilham chased a dog all ov
er his post trying to find out who it
was.
Last week we took an expedition to
Lacy Lake whero we had instructions
on pitching tents. It was something
new to us and consequently we didn't
make much headway at first, but fi
nally got so we could put them up
pretty quick.
The soldiers are all in high spirits
as day after tomorrow is pay day. To
them it is the greatest event of the
month. A five cent piece, two weeks
before pay day, looks like a wagon
wheel.
Marsh went to Astoria the other
dny said he had a fine time, and I
guess he did. He had plenty of mon
ey (one wagon wheel, which in the
army is a "jitney"). He bought her
a soda, at the same time telling the
clerk he didn't care for anything.
Clancy and Gilham are holding
Marsh down while I write so I'll have
to make this the end.
The boys send their regards to the
people of Vale, hoping some day to
be with them again.
Yours truly,
Ray Vanzandt.

YOU CAN SOLVE YOUR LABOR TROUBLES AND IMPROVE
QUALITY OF YOUR HAY BY USING THE FAMOUS
THE
John Deere-Dain Side Delivery Rake I
Follow the mower with a Dain
Left Hand Side Delivery Rake
you don't need to wait until
practically all the meadow is cut,
and besides you get air cured
hay hay that retains its natur
al color and richness. This is
the hay that brings the best price
on the market.
The Mower goes around the
field turning to the right, there
fore the Dain Left Hand Side
Delivery Rake has the following
advantages over other rakes:
a It can follow the mower,
thus working against the
head of the hay.
b It places all the hay upon
clean stubble out of the
way of the mower.
c Turns a good square corner
without bunching the hay
undesirably.
d Air cures the hay. It de
livers two swaths of grass
upside down in a loose con
tinuous windrow. Thus air
can pass through it freely,
curing the hay evenly with
no loss of coloring, and the
hay is not sun-scorched.
Also John Deere-Dain Hay Loader
The "One Man" Loader does
the work of a whole haying crew
and does it better. The main
frame of the Dain Rake Bar Hay
Loader combines lightness, stiff
ness, strength and flexibility.
Steel is used for the principal
parts and the whole is braced
and trussed effectually.
And you can hitch or unhitch
this loader without getting off
the wagon. It has an automatic
coupler. Come in and let us ex
plain the advantages of these im
plements. Especially are they
needed this year on account of
the certain farm labor shortage.
