A MAGNIFICENT STANDARD GRAPHOPHONE The Greatest Offer ever Made by any Firm in the United States THE TALKING MACHINE, a few years ago, was an awe-inspiring, scientific mystery, with which the public occasionally came in contact in exhibition linlls. To-day, in its best form, the GRAPHOPHONE is a familiar object in thousands of homes. Unquestionably the Graphophone is the richest contribution science has made to the en tertainment and instrnction of the world in late years. The Graphophone is so free from mechanical in tricacies that a moment's study suffices to master it. When the graphophone's matchless powers of enter tainment are considered, its value cannot he measured in money. There is no other machine or instrument that can be purchased at any price that will afford so varied uhd delightful an entertainment. The graphophone rules over tne whole realm of sound. Thus, every musical tone, simple or complicated, from the most delicate thread of sound of a single instrument to the melodious crash of a great military band, can be re-created by the graphophone. In homes remote from the pleasures of the city, one having a graphophone may, without trouble and at small ex pense, listen at will to the latest music of the great operas or concert music, as rendered by the greatest artists, or hear the voices of famous comedians in laughter provoking monologues. You can hear the finest music from the greatest orchestras and bands of the world whose volume of melody instantly de lights all hearers. Here is Our Proposition Read it Over Carefully Our plan for the presentation of these magnificent home enter ii ners is simple. Here is tne plan : With a purchase of $15.00 or with sales slips amounting to $15. (K) in trade, we will present one of thes grapho phones to you absolutely free with the understand ing that you purchase five records at the start at 60o each, and that you purchase twenty records in ten weeks, that ih two records each week. These rec ords, costing you 50 cents each, are THE GEN UINE STANDARD GRAPHOPHONE SEVEN INCH DISO RECORD THAT RETAIL THE WORLD OVER AT 50 cents. We not only sell you these reoords at the regular standard prife that you would have to pay for them the world over, but be sides we give you one of these magnificent $15.00 genuine Standard graphophones for your entertain ment absolutely free. What is a collection of 25 records? Not many to be sure. Some homes have collections numbering as high as one hundred and fifty, and even up to two hundred and fifty different records, giving quite a range of all classes of enter tainment without ' repeating. It will surprise you how quickly you will have purchased the necessary twenty records, and then the machine is yours. Un til you have purchased the necessary twenty reoords, the title of the maohine is ours, bat practically it is yours because we deliver the maohine to your home after you return your gales slips ud purchase the first five records, and yon have . the use of the machine all the time while yon are purchasing the re.uain- ing twenty reoords, two each week. This is so easy and simple that von never notice the expenditure, in fact, you will find' "it a Source of pleasure to add new and up-to-date collections to your list new comio songs, new comio opera music, new band music, new jokes, new monologues, new pieces of all sorts that will give yon not only pleasure to hear, but pleasure to buy. Never has anything been pre sented to the pnblio which positively makes home entertainment so delightful. No more dull and un interesting evenings. A graphophone takes away the dullness, and excites the admiration of all its hearers. Never, in the hiBtory of our store, have we ever offered anything so worthy of your consideration as our graphophone plan, which instantly turns dull, nnoveutf ul and uninteresting evenings at home into delightful entertainments. No trouble at all to op erate the graphophone, a ten year old child can run it as well as a grown person. The operation consists of winding up the maohine, placing the record on the turn table, insert the needle in the sound box, and starting it. You can learn to operate it in two minutes. Entertain your family, entertain yourself and entertain your friends. Yon never can tire of this delightful maohine because it produoes the finest of musio as rich and clear as the original.

PROGRAM IS EXCEPTIONAL Pedagogues Exchange Ideas For Betterment of Their Profession and Work. More than 60 teachers attended the looal institute at Parkplace Saturday, and listened to one of the best pro grams that has e-er been offered at a Clackamas county institute. Mrs. Elizabeth Buck, of Clackamas, opened the program with an instructive talk on "Analysis in the Advanced Divi sion," and was fallowed by Prof . D. P. Matthews, of Canby, who talked on "Ethical Training. " . 'Teach seli-renance, said he, "and indnoe your pupils to form good hab its. A teacher shoul 1 be everything he teaches, and this is especially true of the lower grades. Inoculate the young with patriotism, through his tory. All of this instruction may be oouveyed through the regular work. Character is an important thing in ed ucation. " In the discussion that followed, Su perintendent Zinsur, W. G. Beattie, L. A. Read, W. W. Dixon and Miss Ruegg participated. Captain J. T. Apperson, of Parkplace, was called upon, and responded with a few re marks, and lunch was served by the Mothers' Club, to which the teachers did ample justice. The afternoon pro gram commenced with exercises by pupils ot the Parkplace school, as fol lows: Piano solo, Miss Agatha Cut ter; vocal solo, Muriel Davis; reci tation, Gladys Shelly; solo, Vernon Ringland; solo, Georgia Cross. Miss Mary uase, 01 uregon (Jity, rendered a solo, and responded to an encore, and she was followed by Prot. . W. Gilbert Beattie, who too for ins subject, "Musio in the Schoolroom. " He referred to the singer and said though he was not a niuoician in the strict sense of the term, he did not lack in appreciation.. "Most children love to sing," said the speaker. "It is good for disci pline. The proper songs should be selected. . The study of musio devel ops skill and character, and one can appeal to Mieir pupils through song, and the recent revival meetings in Portland illustrate this fact. Teach patriotism through song. We need it ; want it and have it, and if you can not sing, at least learn to handle musio. By all means get manic in your schoolroom. It is God 'a best gilt to man." Prof. J. J.. Clark, prinoipal of the Molalla school, talked on "Elemen tary Agrioulture," and said their was little or no agriculture tanght in the schools, owing to lack of funds to hire competent teachers. General in difference was manifested, and the difference was more noticeable in the country where the subject should be given the most attention. Prof. Clark suggested consolidation to overcome obstacles, and believed that teachers should be given a short course on the subject. He said that it was taught in the schools of Missouri and Illinois and he was sure that what manual training would do for the oity pupil, agrioulture would do for the oauntry pnpiL It should be introduced be cause our existence depends upon it. Prof. W. W. Dixon, of Tangent, gave an instrnctive and interesting talk on "How to Teach Geography," and said the subject should be classi fied as follows : Cause and effect, 7th and 8th grades; political geography, 6th grade ; North and South Amerion, 5th grade ; continents, oceans, gulfs, bays and plateaus, 4th grade ; locate places in Btories, teaoh rocks, metals, vapors and fogs, 3d grade; map schoolroom, house, grounds, streets, oity, 31 grade;. Mr. Dixon said that the teacher might draw a . map of England and give a geographical talk on it. "Tell of the commercial worth of the United States, Germany, Austria, Europe, Asia, etc. For books, the best are Longman's Sohool Geography, Phillip's and Carpenter's Geography Readers., Ritter's Compart Geog raphy, Livingstone in Africa and Zig zag Journeys. You cannot teach geog raphy without map drawings and wall maps are almost useless. " The report of the committed on res olutions was adopted, and thanks of the institute were extended to the people of Parkplace, the Mother's Club, Capt ,'J. T. Apperson, County Superintendent Zihser, and Miss Mary Case, for their assistance in making the institute a success. Among those present were: Irene Carter, Mar garet Goodfellow.

LITTLE TIME NOW REMAINS 7air Exhibits Must Be In Place June t. STRICT RULES LAID DOWN Space Not Put Into Use Next Monday Will Be Forfeited and Only a Month Is Left. Ediot of the exhibit department of the Lewis and Clark Fair that all ex hibit space must be put into use by May 1 is likely to work a hardship on , the executive committee having . in ' charge a (Clackamas county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair. With the opening day of the exposition a little more than a montlidistant, little has been done in the way of proouring ex hibits for display, in view of the time that has been spent in the work. Last fall a oommittee was appointed and organized, foOO was appropriated br the State .Lewis and Clark uom mission. and $1000 by the Clackamas county oourt to defray the expenses of collecting and making an exhibit, and It was planned to raise fiwu or more by subscription, but very little has been raised outside of the two appro priations. With a view of stimulating interest in the exhibit, the executive commit tee several mouths ago inaugurated a competition for prizes for the best exhibits in about 20 classes of agricul tural products, but the oner culmin ated in a partial failure, and there is now little on hand to make a credit able showing in a spaoe 18x50 feet. whioh has been allotted to (Jlackuruas county in the huge agricultural build ing. The seriousness of the matter is best explained by the following from the Uregonian : "The exhibit department of the Lewis and Clark Exposition sent ont a final ediot yesterday. It is concise and to the point. It, states in so many words that exhibitors who have not put their exhibit spaoe into use by May 1 will forfeit it and it will forth with be apportioned ; among the firms on the cumbersome, reserve list. "In view of the fact that there are 3000 names on the exhibit list and the total amount of space reaohes well into the hundreds of thousands of square foet it is only logical to as s ime that there will be some forfeit ures. It is Jnot believed, however, that the forfeitures will be (many in faoe of the strong competition that has been experienced. The number that will allow their awards to lapse is a matter that fails to worry the ex hibits department. Director H. E. Dosch says he is daily besieged by rep resentatives of big firms that are anxious to get a footing and not only can he secure exhibits for indefinite area but could actually dispose of it for a good , rice. Nearly a hundred exhibitors shipped their goods during the past week and many speda representatives arrived on the grounds in charge of displays to arrange for installation and the building of booths. In face of the edict just issued, this week and next will see the arrival of an army of ex hibitors and many hundred cars of ex hibits. "The greatest danger of delaying the fair lies in the late exhibit instal lation," said Colonel Dosch in ex plaining the order issued by him. "If we would permit it exhibitors would be trailing along until the middle of August. That is the reason we are drawing the line. Any exhibit that is not in plaoe when the exposition opens will never be in plaoe. Not a single srtoke of finishing work will be allowed after the opening of the fair." Jk HaOebr J.O. ArerOo..
