The Shumias were charmingly
entertained Saturday, February 6,
at the home of Mrs. Mason E.
Brink, with Mrs. Robert E. Gray as
hostess. After roll call which con
sisted of philosophical quotations,
Mrs. Pearl Kayler pave a very in
teresting talk on "Materlinck, The
Man."!
Mrs John H. Rosenberg delight
fully entertained those present with
two of Materlinck's stories "The
Unknown Guest" and "Wisdom and
Destiny," and then read a short
selection on "The Modern Drama."
The program was very pleasing and
the ladies were given much credit
for their efforts.
After the business session the
Shumias were escorted to the dining
room and were agreeably surprised
to find it beautifully decorated with
carnations and ferns. The hostess,
assisted by Miss Brink, served
dainty refreshments, then came
another surprise. February 6th
was also the date of Mrs. Brink's
birthday and the hostess in her
usual pleasing way presented her
with a beautiful plate and to each
Shumia she gave a carnation.
Mrs. Michel was guest of the club.
After wishing Mrs. Brink many
happy returns of the day and thank
ing the hostess for the delightful
afternoon, the club adjourned to

Oregon Life Has
New District Manager
E. N. Strong, state agency super
visor of Oregon Life Insurance
Company of Oregon, who is well
known throughout Crook county,
is in Prineville this week intro
ducing R. H. Parsons, who is to be
district manager for the Oregon
Life for Central Oregon. Mr.
Parsons has been working for the
company with headquarters at
Eucrene.
In connection with his brother,
Mr. Parsons has purchased a large
ranch in the Sisters country. His
brother expects to engage in the
stock business. Mr. Parsons is not
a stranger here, having been a boy
hood chum of Sheriff Knox and his
Strong announces that Ore
gon Life made the largest gains in
1914 of any year during its history
and the outlook for 1915 is better
than any year yet, January showing
a big increase over January, 1914.

Awful Artichokes
at Powell Butte
R. W- Breese brought in some of
the largest artichokes we have ever
seen from his ranch near Powell
Butte Monday. Three of them
weighed 5 pounds, and it was esti
mated by those present when they
were dug that the entire hill would
weigh from 20 to 25 pounds. The
only thing that we question about
this estimate, is that Frank Foster
was present when tney were dup,
and for this reason we will not ask
our readers to believe this entire
statement unless they wish to.
