DISASTROUS FIRE LENTS GRANGE FAIRY PAGAENT JERSEY LILY STOCK NEWSY ITEMS FROM GRANDMA FORSYTH ENJOYS OUTING. DESTROYS HOME AT LENTS PARK. TO BE AUCTIONED DOWN THE LINE HAS GLAD SURPRISE Early Morning Blaze Not Discovered Until Roof About Io Fall In— Origin Of Fire Unknown. Spend Day On Columbia Hlghday With Side Trips Io Points Of Interest. The rv«idrn<v occupied by Mr«. Neeley on 93rd Hl. H. £., near 6Aih avenue, and owned by J. D. Leigh ot Portland, was entirely consumed by tire at an early boar Monday morning. The shrill call of tlie sireu aroused the residents of lants about (our o’clock, but the tire was not discovered until the roof of the building was al>out to fail. Fire Chief Goggins responded quickly with the tire-fighting apparatus of the I^nls Volunteer Fire Department. Ils was accompanied by I>r. O'Donnell, Ken neth Forte, Harry Burham, Billie Fatchel, Bsrl Muenser, lx>n Boland and Ray <iaaton. Heroic work was done with the result that adjoining property was saved, notwithstanding tlie house nest to the burning building was so close as to admit of only a walk Iwtween and tlie roof was burning when the tire company arrived on the scene. The origin of the tire Is unknown. The tire company is of tlie opinion that it must have been of incendiary origin inasmuch as an unknown man was ole srrved running at full spaed from that direction aiaiut the time the tin- was discovered. He was seen to run down the car tracks and disaj>|>ear. The police stale that then* has been a prowl er in that vicinity for some little time past, but they have not been able to get d<*v enough to him to identify him. .Mr». Neeley, who occupies the house, is caring for an aged woman and the two were sleeping in the adjoining house, which Mrs. Seeley cam tor in the alwence of the oocupanU. At oue o’clock she had been up and lighted a lamp in tier own house and had taken the precaution to pat tlie burning match in the sink. Going back to the oilier house she was soon asleep ami was awakened shortly after to fl^d her home in flames. Hhe lost everything she had. .Thirty dollars in money which iia<i lieen paid her tlie day pre vious was also burned mid she was left alisolutrly penniless, with no insurance. The house was insured. Mr. Leigh is unfortunate as thia is the second house be lias lost by Are in Lents with in two months’ time. He was the owner of the house occupied by Mr. Mills on 92nd street which burned early in July. ENGLISH ARMY GETS CALIFORNIA FRUIT .Selected California fruit will grace tlie mess tables of British army officers in far away Egypt. Tbe British Govern ment has placed an order for fifty tliouaand dollars worth of canned apricots, the fm t to be delivered from canneries at Pomona, Hemet and Kings burg. Tlie Southern Pacific Company an nounced today that it was starting tlie first car over its lines to Ogden. The car contains 90,000 pounds of fruit in 15000 cases. Tbe balance of tlie ship ment, say Southern Pacific officials, will be hurried «arose continent and across ocean as fast as txswihle. Wednesday was a high day with local Grangers. At an early hour they started oct from lente, filling to capacity the Ainsworth auto truck, spending the day on the Colombia Highway. Eagle Creek rar reached in time for dinner and any one who has ever sal down to a Grange "feed" can let their imagination loose when it comes to tbe "eats." That It wasn't "Hooverised" is a safe bet. By a happy coincidence It was diecovered that tbe day selected lor tbe picnic was tbe 75th birthday of Mr. Miller, an hon ored member of tbe order. It was too late when this was discovered to add anything by way ot celebration, but a special dainty was prepared by Mrs. McNeil and presented to him at the ta ble in the name of the Lents Grange, with appropriate remarks. Mr. Kreu- der, Grand Master, accompanied tbe party. The tlsti hatcheries were visited on the return trip. Also. Multnomah Falls where the party etopjied lor supper. One of the most delightful side trips uf the day was a visit to Oneonta Gorge, several ot the company |>enetrating far up the ravine. Many pictures were ob tained which will be cherished as sou venirs of the trip. Last Thursday in tbe early evening tbe Icente playground was tbe scene of a very pretty Fairy Carnival which wae staged and executed under the direc tion of Miss Edna Agler, supervisor ol the girls. Tbe pegaent was headed by the Fairy Queen. Mies Mabel Smith who took this part was resplendent in green Tar latan trimmed with gilt stars and wore a gold crown. Hhe was greeted by a group of wee fairies who executed a dainty dance. A group of shy little vis itor« to Fairyland wore quaint peasant costumes and were treated royally by their elfin hosts. A bunch of small boys disguised as clowns acted very successfully as ".Mischiefmakers,” but redeemed themselves for their mischief by the clever tumbling and ¡pyramid building stunts which they pulled off. The Beauties of Fairyland were repre sented by a group of girls in pink cos tume-, while the Flowers consisted of a group of older girls in vari-colord cos tumes representative of different flowers. The entire program was very prettily and effectively executed. Mise Agler has taken a great deal of interest in the children and has worked hard to make their Hummer play time pleasant as Mr. Ainsworth is becoming very pop well as instructive. About 400 people ular as a driver for excursions of this witnessed the pagaent. character. The Grangers are singing his praises for tbe carelulncee exhibited in rounding the curvee and on all dan ger pointe. The trip was eo much en joyed that a repetition is already being talked ol. SERIES OF GARD PARTIES GIVEN BY RELIEF BOARD Draft Excess Profits. Majority leader Kitchin, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Com mittee, declares that a war for democracy should be paid for by a democratic tax. Mr. Kitchin appears to Is* a little hazy as to the definition of a democratic tax, but he is able at least to exclude some of the undemocratic taxes. ”1 want the man who cornea home with an empty sleeve,” lie says, "to feel that the Congees which sent him away has not favored the profit taker who stayed at home.” This thought must be hammered into Con gress until tlie memtwre sense it. War is a sacrifice. Lives are given. Cripples are made. Property is destroyed. Tlie whole country is made poorer. How then in a democracy where the burdens are shared by all, can some enrich themselves by war? No one will con tend that the men at the front are en riching themselves. Nor will any argue that the slight advance in wages as com pared with the high cost of living will make labor better off. But people with great incomes, and firms making big profits, will be richer at tlie conclusion of the war. Thia must not be. Theee surplus incomes and these excess profits should go to defray the cost of the war. This is a war for democracy. Tlie bur den must be borne by all.—Public. A KEEPSAKE FOR THE SOLDIER BOY H. C.
