Mr. and Mrs. Angelow, whose home is located in a beautiful cherry orchard on Eiglity-seobnd street. are enjoying trips In their handsome new auto. Mrs. John Tlipperson of Spokane Falls is here visiting her son, Harry Hipjier- son, and family, in their cosy bungalow on Hfaty-seventh avenue. Many of their friends are hoping tlie visit will not be too short, as the lady is a very interest­ ing person. Mm Otto Schaeffer has purchased the residence and lota on thecornerof Sixty­ seventh avenue and Eighty-second street and has Is-en remodeling and making other improvements to the property. She also has quite a war garden. Mr. and Mrs. Georgr Yarnow, of 6IM7 Eighty-second street southeast, attended the Moose picnio near Milwaukie, and report a fine time and a large, merry crowd. Olliers of th s district were also there with their autos. If prizes were given the owners of war gardens, this district, or rattier two districts, would lie hard to compete with as to growth, cultarv and variety, ami because so many have specialized it would not be fair to mention any par­ ticular one. The residence on Eighty-sixth street near Seventy-first avenue is now oecu- pied by Mr. Shaffer, wife and several small children. They are giving the place a homelike appearance, which is a relief, as I lie house had been empty for nearly three years and was getting badly out of repair. CHERRYVILLE O.(Daily has gone to Newberg, where he will work with a threshing outfit.

The estimated cost is $12,000. He will get a contract for a period ot years for float­ ing ties and other lumber. The unexpected has happened. Vter everybody had given up all hop,- for rain until fall, it finally came on Mon­ day and continued through Tuesday. It is lining lots of good to gardens, late green potatoes and pastures. Lewis Ritzi-r went down to visit hia people near Estacada last week, and said they were feeding the finest kind of cherries to tjie hogs.

SAVE YOUR OLD PAPERS TO HELP THE RED CROSS “Save your waste and help win the war” is the new slogan in the Port­ land Chapter of the American Red Cross. A salvage bureau has been or­ ganized with headquarters at 80-82 Third street, corner of Oak, and dis­ trict receiving stations throughout the city. If every individual will do his part, this new activity will be able to finance largely the Red Cross work of succor and relief for our boys “over there.” A few newspapers in one home are valueless, but collected from all the homes in the city and sold by the ton. they bring good re­ turns. On this one item, the salvage bureau cleared, in one week. $114. Practically all household waste mate­ rials can be marketed by the Bureau. Mrs. Myrtle Sager is Divisional Chief for the Lents district, and the fire engine house is named as a re­ ceiving station. If possible, take your salvage material there, or, if you have an automobile, take it directly to the main station.
