OBSERVATIONS
(By our Unobserved Observer)
W. C. T. U. Notes
House flies arc disappearing but
the few that remain nre pernic
iously active.
Discussion of the subject of Arc
prevention is important, but it
seems probable that the price of
fuel mny also contribute much to
ward flro prevention.
A St. Johns man agreed to
keep half of the ten command
mcnta if his wife would keep the
other half, but the agreement'
was cancelled because tuc man
wanted first pick.
If a man says whut he thinks,
wails an old croakcr,hu's a crank,
if lie tells the truth lie is a
knocker; if he acta natural he is a
fool ; tf he agrees with every one.
no matter if he sacriticcs every
principle to do it, ho is a fine fcl
low.
A disagrccublc fault finder who
makes frequent trips through the
principal business district of
Portland, says he has noticed
that even tho woman who is al
ways ready to stand up for her
rights does not particularly enjoy
doing no, in a street car.
Postponement of tho big inter
national exposition until 1U-7 is a
disappointment to many people
but it could not bo very well
avoided. It would be almost im
possiblo to build a high bridge at
St. Johns and have it ready to
bo used before 1927, and to hold
tho exposition before the bridge
could be built would of course be
n serious mistake.
Perhaps very few people could
bo found who would not agree
with the country editor who
when asked why ho did not print
good jokes on himself replied:
"A joko on ono is not a good
joke. The better other people
scum to think it is, tho poorer it
nccins to me. Thero is ho such
thing as a good joko on ouo. It
must ho on the other fellow to be
good."
Good people arc often cruelly
misjudged. There arc at the pres
ent time, for example, many loyal
citizons running for office whose
greatest ambition is to nerve the
people faithfully and save money
for tho taxpayers. They will toll
you so themselves, And yet there
Is sure to bo a sneaking Suspicion
that Komo of them desire above
all things else to hold ofllco an I
draw pay from tho public treas
ury. If tho program of railroad
building now under considera
tion w carried out in full It
moans the development of millons
of acres of country in Portland's
trade territory and a correspond
ing largo increase in business ac
tivity. Lack of railroads has
long prevented the development
of the natural resources of Ore
gon, but it seems tH'nt wo are now
entering upn a new era of progress.
Mrs. S. G. Miller and daughter
Ruth of Southern Oregon have
been visiting at the homo of Mrs.
T. C. Waite, 810 N. Syracuse.
The business meeting of Debor
ah Livingstone Union of the Wo
man's Christian Temperance Un
ion which was held this montl
was well attended by members
and friends. All were very much
interested and enthusiastic in the
work. We hope to see tho lecture
room filled to over flowing at our
next meeting.
Under the auspices of Deborah
Livingstone Union a get-together
meeting of tho Wjlliams, Sitton
and George School rorcnt-Tcach
er Association, and tho St. Johns
Branch Y. W. C. A. will bo held
at the Y. "W. C. A. building on
Chicago street next Friday, Nov.
3rd, from 2 to 4 p. m. A musical
program will be given and a sil
ver tea. This 'is given for the ben
efit of the W. C. T. U. children's
farm home.
It is good to know that the
forces opposed to the 18th amend
ment arc paying the bills. It is
good to know that the men chorg
cd with the cnlorccmcnt arc on
the job. It is n miming to see
what fools they arc who imagine
they can continue to defy public
sentiment and' Uncle Sam. These
lawbreakers did for a while have
their joke and luugh. But tho
best time to laugh is with the fel
low who loughs last. How long
will it take theso violators to
learn thut it isn't safe to build a
fire ncaiMi can of gasolincT Reported.
Wednesday, October 25th, the
home of G. II. Sperling was the
scruo of a delightful surprise
package shower given by Mrs. C.
K. Doran and Mrs. E. F. Duffy in
honor of Mrs. Sperling. A good
ly number of gucsta were present
and the afternoon was spent in
sewing and admiring tho many
beautiful gifts. At 51 o'clock a
delicious luncheon was nerved by
the hostesses and a merry time
was had by all. Those present
were Mrs. Stanley Amald, Mrs.
II. Benedict, Mrs. Geo. Brown,
Mrs. A. Fabers, Mrs. L. Moe,
Mrs. Tod Johnson, Mrs. Joe Nub-
son, Airs. J. Tayior, Airs, ucoves,

The approach of All Hallow
e'en was the occasion, as usual,
for a number of frolics and par
ties within the circles of school
friends. One of these was the
parly planned by the seventh

dozen parents, the jolly company
journeyed to the home of I Men
Hade, where games and refresh
ments appropriate to the season
were enjoyed. Classmates to the
number of about twenty were
the guests of Madeline Miinson
and Dorothy Young nt tli home

other spooky creatures reminded
them of the witching season,
while games and refreshments
kept every one in happy spirits.
On Friday evening the second
tenners gave a class party at the
high school building, chaperoned
by Miss Cartmell and Miss Ilunk-
