Cridge, of the Oregon Jour nal will address the Woman’s Prohibi tion Club at Room A, Central Library, on Monday afternoon at 2:30, on the topic, "Why S|Hi'ulative Prices of Food- stuff's?" A general invitation is extend ed to the public whether members or not. J. C. Robertson, of Sunnyside, Clackamas County, is leaving in a couple of weeks for New Orleans, lai. Mrs. Roliertaon w ill accompany him. They an* having a special sale of various household effects at their home, which is known ax the W. .1. Bowerman place, the last of this week. Ernel Swanson, the popular Assistant Superintendent of the lx*ntx Friends Hunday School, has lx*en confined to the house for the past week with a serious attack of tonxilitis. On Tuesday he was taken to the G<s>d Samaritan Hospital where his tonsils were removed. He is now at his home in the Sunnyside dis trict recuperating from the effects of this operation. Mr. Campbell, of Pleasant Valley Grange made himself exceedingly popu lar with certain memhen of the Lenta delegation who were in attendance at the session of Pomona last week, by the gen erous uxe which he made of his automo bile. This«* ladies who were set down at their door in Lents when they had only suppose«! they were going to the station at Sycamore are enthusiastic in their appreciation. “Civilization” was presented to a ca pacity house at Yeager Cheatre on Wed nesday evening. By no other means than moving pictures could such a inagnifl- «»nt production be staged in a rural or suburban theatre, and thus be brought within the reach of vast numbers of peo ple. There can tie no greater education al agency for the abolishment of war than this picture. To describe it, is an absolute impossibility. One cannot help wishing that everyone even remotely responsible for the present war could he assembled into on« theatre and compell ed to witness the scenes jiortrayed until the lesson taught had been burned into their very souls. Farm and Grange Notes Irl-('ounty Club Organized. A meeting is luring held at the Central Library this afternoon to perfect the organization of u Womanx' Grange Club, j a partial organization having lx*en effected last week. It will be a tri county organization, Multnomah, ! Chu'kamas ami Washington counties comprixing the jurisdiction. Mrs. Weatherby, of Portland wax elected president at tin* preliminary meeting. Complete organization and appoint ment of committees will comprise the business ot today’s session. Pomona Grange. Pomona Grange met on Wednesday of last week with the Pleasant Valley Grange. The following Pomona officers were installed at this time: J. J. John son, Master; John Webbee, Overseer; Mrs. Mary Palmer, Lecturer; Jacob Nelson, Hteward ; H. E. Smith, Assistant Steward ; Mrs. A.

Duke, lady Assistant. The attendance at this session was large, it being estimated that over 200 were present. Dinner wax served to 172 at noon. The attendance at the evening session wax much larger. Every Grange in Multnomah County wax represented, visitors being present from other counties. About forty Modulates were invested with the fifth degree. State Master Hpence was present ami gave an address at the morning session. County Commissioner Rufus Holman wax also pr si nt and addressed the Grange on County affairs. At the conclusion of a debate lasting two hours the Grange went on record ax op|s>sing the $0,000,000 ls»nd issue lor g'xxl roads, th«* resolution passing by only a small majority of those voting. Htate Master Hpence, W. H. Dufur ami E. D. Palmer, of Woodlawn Grange, xjM>ke in favor of adopting the resolu tions against the bond issue, while State Senator Lewis, Ben Worsley, of Clatsop County, and Representative lanrgaard sjxike in favor of the bond issue. Op- position to the Warren Construction Company formed the chief reason for objection to tbe bond issue. A message wax drawn up to I m * sent to President Wilson and the Oregon dele gation in Congress to tbe effect that it is the duty of all loyal .Americans to sup port the executive in the present crisis. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Johnson were elected delegates to the Htate Grange, with Mr. and .Mrs. T. J. K render ax alternates. Mrs. E. A. Niblin, Mrs. J. W. Town- se.nl and Mrs. Christine Cavanagh were appointed a committee on woman's work. The next session of Pomona will 1« liehl with Evening Star Grange in June.

Burgett. 6410 »Uh St. 8. £., on Tuesday afternoon, April3, at 2 o’clock. TI h * topic for the meeting is "Medical Temperance,” and Mrs. Mary Mallett, State Superintendent ol this department, and Mias Helen Gray are to speak along these lines. Special music has been ar ranged and refreshments will be served. The reporter who furnish«*»! tbe copy ol lids department last week »lit! not ar rive at the meeting held at the home of Mrs. Donaldson until after Mrs Reynohis had rendered a solo, hence the omission of her name in the account of the meeting. Mrs. Reynolds has a good voice and sang with tine expression and deep feeling. Great news conn* from Cuba. The planters have found that tobacco is not ax profitable a crop ax it once wax and mon* and more sugar cane is supplant ing tlie tobacco tiehls. The announce ment of thia fact comes from tlie |s*n of Tims. T. Rigg, of Iowa Falls, Iowa. Editor of the horticultural department of the American Poultry Journal. Mr Rigg has lieen traveling through Cuba and writes from personal knowledge. Ax every achievement accomplished by women is of interest to the Vt bite Rib boners they will enjoy a word ax to the work in Portland of Prof. Mabel Holmes Parsons, of th»* University of Oregon. If not the pioneer in presenting University extension work to the Portland public, Mrs. Parsons wax the first to make popular th«* extension idea by presenting her subject in such a manner as to en tice people to return again aa»l again, having once attended her classes. She is probably the only extension instructor who has succeeded in getting the mem- tiers of her classes to enter fully into dis cussion of the subjects presented. This is saying much, as there an* now a large numlwr of class«** conducts*»! in Portland by different educational institutions, but the truth is that Mrs. Parsons re mains supreme aa the leader of public discussion along educational lines. Public school teachers of Portland count her work of such »letinite value to them that a petition has tieen sign«*d urging President Campbell to place her in Port land jiermanently during the school months next year that they may have a still larger privilege in the U. of 0. ex tension work. Peterson. As our last page goes to press we learn of the controversy over the Superintendent of the Coun ty Poor Farm. It is self-evident that this position is regarded as a political plum; Mrs. Singleton received it as such and will un doubtedly lose it in the same manner, whether F. R. Peterson gets it or not. A few Lents res idents contest Mr. Peterson’s ap pointment on account of his pre vious reputation. We shared a similar opinion until convinced by personal contact with him that his business methods are above reproach. He has the confidence of the business men and is a cred it to the community. Everyone may not agree with us, but we can do no less than to fearlessly saywhat we believe simple jus tice demands. We are satisfied that this policy will receive the support even of those who disa gree with us. J. S. F._______ By T HI-88EI.I. SHELTON in Richmond Tlmsa-IMapateh. MHLEM of chastity, iwm I nun ot flowers. e A rosary wear. ot dewdrops thou do« And thy fair head droops gently, as in Prayer. As If thou ever dreamed of Easter hours Faith looks at thee, then turns and walk! with one Through the dark garden of Gethaemane. Hears the deep groan, sees ths accursed tree, And kneels before the sepult^her alone, Perhaps when Mary trod, at break of day. The path that led her to the empty tomb Lilies all white and purs sprang into bloom Around the stone which had been roiled away Till all about the sepulcher became A garden where celestial flowers grew, Sweeter than all the buds that Eden knew And fairer than the Immortelles of fame. No chlmee awoke the scented eastern air Mankind wax dumb, but natur# found a voice. And birds and brooks with angels did re joice. While the fair Illy drooped her head In prayer. Today the belle In sweet rejoicing ring. They tell of him who die»! to set us free. They sing: **O weave, where Is thy vic tory? O death, whore Is thy sting—where la thy sting T' Today the Illy blooms aa sweet end fair. With drooping head and rosary of dew; Ttxlay Faith turns, her risen Lord to view And all the glory of hie love to share. Nor win nor pain nor death can e'er refill The bitter cup he drank on Calvary. The voice that groaned in anguish on the tree Seems evermore to whisper. "Peace, be still.” And sweet It Is to feel that nevermore Shall mortals move like captives to their doom. For when he rose he triumphed o'er the tomb And cast aside the cerements he wore. Rloom on, sweet flower, symbolic of that day And of the resurrection yet to be. May faith bloom In my soul as pure aa thee Till griefs shall fade tuid tears be wiped away. At th« Sepulcher. Was it not most m«*et that a woman should first s « h * the risen Saviour? She was first In the transgression; let her be first in the justification. In yon garden she was first to work our woe: let her In that other garden be the first to sec him who works our weal. She takes first the npplt* of that bitter tree which brings us all our sorrow; let her be th«* first to s«*e the Mighty Garden er, who has planted a tree which brings forth fruit unto everlasting life. —Spurgeon. A Favorite Easter Trip. BACK YARD GARDENS CUI DOWN fOOD COST Suggestions for tllmlnatlng One of Principal Household Expenses. During the paxt throe years of contin ually rising food pri»*A*s, while eongres- xional cotrnnittees and graicl juries have been busying themx«*lv»*x from one end ot th«: land to the other in the effort to place their fingers up«in the causex of the ever increasing advances in living costs, on«* of the possible remedies hax izeen at our very doorx. When we consider that one of our main articles of f«xxl—v«*getables—has risen in price from sixteen\to sixty-five ;>er cent during the past few years—we begin to realize ttie possibilities for econ omy which lie in cultivation ot our, for the most part, unuaed back yard garden plot«. It really take« only a very small space of ground to grow enough vege tables to supply tl«e average family, not alone for table uxe during the summer, but also for use during the winter months when priors go so high as to lie alrrioet prohibitive. The importance of tbe back yard as a garden h» !>een emphasized in Prusxia since the war. The cultivation of every available spot of ground was made man datory and the increased prodncAion thereby proved an important factor in Germany’s xucceaxful endeavor to feed herself. The value of back yard gardening in thia country wax emphasized by tlie unique Pingroe Potato Patch Plan. In brief, tbe plan wax to utilize, for gardening purixwes, back yards, vacant lots xcatterod about the city of Detroit ami the large stretchen of unoccupieal lands in the suburbs. Permission was obtained from the owners of the land to allow men who were out of employment to turn tliis vacant property to cultiva tion and therefore accomplish a twofold object—give the idle lalxirers something with which to busy themselves, and at the same time, furnish them with a means of providing xubsistense for their families. The xee»l was xupplie»! free by the com mittee in charge of the work, but tbe crops were planted, cultivated and har vested by the laborers themselves—and with remarkable results. In 1894, the first year of the experiment, about 450 acres in all were planted in this way, the crops harvest«*«! amounting to thou sands of dollars in value. Close to a thousand families were thus provided with provender to tide them over tbe winter. It was estimated that the po tato crop alone averag«-»! fifteen bushels per family, to say nothing of the crops of lieans, turnips ami other vegetables which were raised and consumed during the summer. In 1895 tlie plan was repeated, lots being distribute»! among about fifteen hunilre»! families. The results tlie sec ond y«*ar were even more gratifying than they were the first. The work of laying out a garden has lieen so much simplified during the past few years that gardening is now some thing that even the most inexperienced can carry out with an assurance of suc cess. Take planting, for instance. In- steail of planting seeds one at a time, as we did a few years ago, we can now plant a whole row at a time. The new way is to plant a strip of seeds instead o fa handful of seeds. This may sound queer if you have not l»een following the recent developments in the methods of set*»! planting, but it is a fact just the same. Instea»! of buying a package of loose s«*e«la, one now buys a roll of seed ta|x>, so that all that it is necessary to do is to mark a row and then plant in it a row of tape. This new method en ables th«* novice to plant his garden quite as properly and scientifically a« the experienced gardener. Th«* advantages of this new meth«xl of planting are that the planting itself is so much easier, being rid of its back breaking labor, no thinning out is nee- cessary because the e«*ed is properly »pace»! in the tape and the carefully se lects«! see»! practically assures full ger mination. Shoulii any of our readers be interests«! in thia new method of seed planting they can purchase th«* see»! tape at either the Mount Scott Drug Co. or the Lents Hardware Co. Activities Of Busy Bees. The Busy Bee Club met at the home of Mrs. Geo. Spring, of Saginaw Heights, on Friday last. The afterno«*n was spent in sewing and fancy work. In clude«! in the program of the Club is the custom of having each member con tribute ««»me piece of fancy work to a general supply which is kept on hand from which each member may draw one article upon their birthday. A de licious lunch was serve»! at the con clusion of the afternoon's pleasure. Several visitors were present as guests of honor, and so much did they enjoy the event that inquiries were numerous as to how admission might be obtained in the circle permanently. The next meeting of the Club will be held at the home of Mrs. Roger Williams, of Saginaw Heights. The schoolteachers and public school pupils throughout the country m*em to have by common <*onsent adopted East er week as the ideal interval for a sightseeing trip to Washington. They have been going by the thousands each Easter these past few years, snd they besiege the White House office building in throngs—for the chief aim and pur- poae of this «lass of visitors is to ac tually shake hands with the pr«*sldent instead of merely inspecting his house and gazing at his estate, as do moat sightseers. And, moreover, the presi Proper Plaoe. dent, being good natured and Imbued “Where did the police question the with something of the Easter spirit, suspected waiter they arrested for usually grants tbe requests of these thefts at the clnbtKHise?"

Even thoxe who never raise plants are certain to re ceive gifts in this shape at Eastertide, and naturally they desire them to live at long as ;x»xxible. B»*aux«j of a Jack of knowledge of plant lore many of the moat beautiful and m<x»t expensive plants are conxlgn- e»l to the ash barrel or convenient dump u few days after Easter. While some of the cheaper ones bl»x>m only once many of them are worth caring for. The rambler and other pot roses should l»e planted out of doorx as xo»»n as ;>oMdble after flowering. Never lay them on their side or set them in an old corner to dry. Plant the ramblers where they can clamber over arbors, trellises and fences, and tbe bush roses in other suitable tocatlons, as they are perfectly hardy. Plant them where they can remain ;>ermanently. They may turn a little yellow at first, but they will x»»on become accustomed to the change and start to grow. To preserve azaleas they should be plung«*»! in the ground, pot and all. It the weather is very dry they will re quire watering throughout tbe sum mer and fall. On the approach of frost lift them, clean off the pots and place »hem In a window in a cool room. Easter lilies can be kept in the pot in any convenient place until the mid dle of May, when they may tie planted In the garden. The tops will die away, but late in tbe summer they will al most Invariably flower again. All the many varieties of bulbous stfx-k, such as the hyacinth, tulip, daf fodil, narcissus and crocus, when they are through btooming can be planted out In the open ground where they will come up jea. after year and flower luxuriantly. The flowers will never be quite so large as they were the first year, but they will be pretty and each blossom perfectly formed. Some peo pie try to flower these bulbs in the house • ““«rad season; it is next to impossible to accomplish this, but they will flower out of doors. C Why Th«y Are Cleaner. An Innocent Offender. A rather amusing story of the art of making beds was related recently by a speaker at a women’s meeting. 8bo was visiting a friend, and, being naturally neat and helpful, or thinking «he was, she went up to her bedrtxxn and made up the bed. Later on, when it came time for her to depart, her hoetess came into ber room and upon viewing the bed ex»lalm«*d: "Mercy! That maid I have Is awful! Just look at that bed!” Lacking the courage to explain, the visitor hastened away. I J» ter she wrote to ber friend In this manner after ad mitting ber guilt: “I made up that bed after a recipe in tbe Ladies' Busy Bee, and It refused to jell.” Phone. Tabor tn* Dr. A.
