St. Johns Community Club
. Tlio St. Johns Community Club
dini'il nt the new Pioneer Metho
dist church Tuesday evening, mid
did full justice to the splendid
meal served by the Gleaners'
class and Ladies' Aid of the
church. Through the cooperation
of Mr. AVnll of the Peninsula
Electric Co.,the dinner was cook
ed on an electric range by Mrs.
I la I ley, demonstrator for thu P.
II. -L. & P. Co., who also made n
Tew interesting remarks relative
to the merits of the electric range
and its advantages over others.
After the dinner had been skil
fully served and taken care of
an interesting program was ren
dered. Judge Kossmau was the
principal speaker of the evening,
and his interesting discoursu was
listened to witfl appreciative at
tention, lie told incidents con
nected with his nearly five years
of service as municipal judge,
during which time almost 100,-
000 eases had came before him,
and last year a daily average of
a cases, or better than an aver
age of one ease to every ten per
sons in the city. lie incidentally
remarked that he had purchased
recently a couple of lots hero and
might make St. Johns his home
at some future date, tile gave a
brief resume of uussell II. ( oil'
well's fanious lecture, "Acres of
Diamonds, where one is told
that if he possessed a hand
ful of diamonds lie would become
imeuscly wealthy. The man was
previously quite content with his
lot but his avarice became arous
ed. He sold bis farm and wan
dered afar in search of the pre
cious stones, which always, how
ever, eluded his discovery. In
the end, after he had lost all he
possessed in his vain search, he
committed suicide. Meaiiwhile
the man to whom be had sold his
farm discovered a diamond mine
right on the place the searcher
had sold him, which eventually
became one of the world's great
est diamond fields. The thought
he brought out was that one
should make the best of and try
to dcvelopc the oportuuities that
surround him instead of chasing
rainbows that so seldom are
caught up with. The Judge is a
pleasing speaker as well as inter
ing one, and before he concluded
he touched on the menace that
confronts the country from nar
cotic addicts.
Mrs. O. W. Overstreet rendered
two very pleasing solos, as did
also J. II. Horry. Miss Laura
Karl gave a couple of whistling
selections that pleased the audi,
enue immensely. They were ac
companied on the niauo bv Mrs.
l' P. Sohult.e. John Oliver, ac-
companied by Randolph Howard, j
favored the assemblage with two
fine and splendidly executed vio-
1 in solos, mid Mrs. Geo. M. Hall
gave two readings that wore
heartily enjoyed. Rev. W. K.
ICIoster, A. K. Jones and J. O.
Bailey made neat little talks.
Judge Rossman was made an
honorary member of the club and
Air. and Mrs. Ransom, who have
recently located in St.Johns were
introduced to the Club by Pres
ident Mouahan. Mr. Ransom is
in charge of Municipal Terminal
No. 4. Communications were
read from Commissioner of Pub
lic Works Harbur, the Public
Dock Commission and County
Coiiimisioners relative to street
repair work. The lormcr stated
that no part of the cost of re
dressing Jersey street had been
paid by the city, but by the prop
erty owners entirely, and there
fore the city could not consist
ently or justly assume any share
of the cost in redressing the
street from Baltimore to Catlin.
The Public Dock Commission nl
so declined to aid in the expense
of such work, asserting that the
Commission bud already spent
money on Jersey street repair be
tween (.'at lin and Nt. .lolins ave
nue. Tiie County Commission
ers, however, promised to repair
Richmond and Oswego streets as
mww as they could get around to
it. A rising vote of thanks was
tei' lered the ladies of the church
for the line repast and entertain
incut provided.
'! he next meeting of the Club
will be held the first Tuesday ev
ening in May, and the place will
be announced in the next issue.

Kaster services nt the Commu
nity church were well attended.
The program by the Sunday
school was carried out as nicely
as one could wish. Mrs. Nourse
assisted by Veda Carley and
Mrs. Swartz, prepared the pro
gram, which was as follows:
Song, Mrs. Shaw's class; prayer,
pastor; song, Kathleen Nourse;
dialogue, The Kaster Cross, Mrs.
Smith, Geo. Gordon's class; vio
lin solo. Geo. Schwartz; Kaster
Flowers, Primary and Beginners;
anthem, choir sLittle Brown
Seeds, n pantomime; song, Wil-
mii Wilson; The Giver of All,
Mrs. Boyd's and Mrs. Nourse 's
classes. At the close ot the tiro
gram all of the little folks stood
up in the front of the church,
facing the congregation, wliilc all
sang When He Cometh. Mr. Fas
sett sang at the church service,
as did the choir. Ten new mem
bers were, received into the
church. There were three hap
tisms, after which the Lord's
Supper was observed. The even
ing service was in keeping with
the Faster thought, the pastor's
Ncrmun iieing given 111 a sior.v
form. The Voting People's Cho
rus sang three special selections.
All of the services are greatly
improved by the use of our new
hymn books. Sunday school will
begin at l):lii next Sunday. We
are hoping that our superintend
ent, Mr. MoMnhon, will be able
to be present. He has been una
ble to attend because of .Mrs. Me
Million's illness. We are glad to
note that Mrs. McMuhon is able
to be at home now and is im
proved in health. Wo have tak
en tor our new slogan, The
Church That Sings. Our services
arc planned with a view of help-
ltilness to all who attend. He-

The man of the house comes
home some of theseApril days
and finds all his customary pos
sessions removed from their ap
pointed places, and his comforta
ble churns covered with dust
cloths, and he complains of the
spirit of desolation. It seems to
him a needless upheaval and he
gets sour and cross over the din
ner tabic. The hoiiseeleaniug
spirit, however, is the product of
good old fashioned housewifery.
It is the inheritance of a time
when women scrubbed and swept
long hours in the attempt to
make their homes sweet and
clean. It is this patient, war
against dirt that makes a well
kept dwelling so mucli more
healthful than one in the slums
of the cities. These well cleaned
homes give their inmates protec
tion against the perils that al
ways lurk where dirt accumu
lates. Jlefore getting cross at
the annual spring scrimmage, the
man of the house should rollout
on the dangers he has escaped
through his wife's standards of
clean living.
On Thursday of last week oc
curred the death of Leonard
Shaw.son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Shaw, on South Jersey street, ag
ed 18 years, 7 mouths and '2 days.
The young man was ipi employe
of the Portland Woolen Mills up
to the time he was taken ill with
appendicitis, lie was taken to,
the hospital but before he could
be operated upon the appendix
had burst. In his weakened con
dition he was unable to overcome

were held Saturday afternoon

Decision to move forward at
once with definite plans for the
1!)LTj exposition unless there
comes front thcpeoplo of Oregon
a "mandate to surrender" was
made Wednesday by the execu
tive committee of the exposition
organization. The committee
made explicit announcement
that the big project hits not been
abandoned. It expressed "com
plete faith" in the undertaking.
Outlining policies and purposes,
the committee made plain that it
expects no mandate to drop the
exposition project. On the other
hand it cites the mandate of
Portland's voters in favoring the
fair. In conformance with the
prior vote of Portland citizens,
the committee announced that
it will ask that they reauthorize
a tax levy of W.OOO.OOO for the
fair, to be collected over a three
year period. . In addition the an
nouncement was made of plans to
raise 1, 000,000 in Portland thru
public subscription. Participa
tion by the state at large in u
mincing the exposition will be
left to citizens of the state them
selves. Popular subscriptions
will be sought, particularly in
communities contiguous to the
great tourist highways, but no
counties or communities will be
confronted with specific ipiotas
or requests. It was made plain
that no spccillc sum will be as
signed to the state at largo.
COAL STRIKE CANNOT AF
FECT PORTLAND
At least as long as the Gas Coin
pany's production of Gasco Bri
duets keeps up.
This company produces millions
of pounds of the best fuel that
is made, as it is almost entirely
carbon.
People buying Gasco Bricpicts
do not spend their money for
ashes.
As the coal strike was announ
ced, the news also appeared in
the papers that Gosco Rricpiets
had been reduced to $14.75 for
delivery at the Company's con
venience during the Summer.
This enables them to keep
their organized crews intact, thus
saving the extra cost of crowding
Jill deliveries into n few months
in the Fall. This saving is passed
on to the public, and last year
those that bought at the Special
Summer price saved themselves
a total of over $2:1,000.00 adv.
