Huntley Brothers Co, Main St. OREGON CITY TPfoe Store) WOMAN'S CLUB PLAY The Greatest Comedy Drama Ever Attempted by Home Talent Strenuous rehearsals are now go ing on almost nightly by an able cast, so that "Ksmeralda", the famous four-act comedy drama, will bo the greatest sensation ever offered in Oregon City, in the way of home tal ent. In addition to the cast as pub lished lust week Karl Lntourette comes in the character of "Drew" the speculator. This will add much to the strength of the work. The most able talent in Oregon City has come to the aid of the worn eii's club so that the play will be pre sented with a view of professional ex cellence. In addition to this Mr. Ralph M. Karris, a professional ac tor of high merit, is being brought to Oregon City for the character of "Mr. Rogers," a very delightful part which he has played with great success. Mr. Karris alone will be worth the price of admission. The comedy is so clean, and its moral teachings so worthy, that many churches and organizations of high standing have supported it strongly in nearly every city in which it has been presented under the present management. Such organizations as Parent-Teachers clubs and societies in neighboring towns are making prepa rations to have seats reserved, some taking whole rows. The prices are moderate so they will come within the range of the humble pocketbooks. The woman's club is certainly to be complimented for this unusual un dertaking. The earnings will be spent in civic improvements. . NEEDY Everybody Is happy now as the Christmas time is so near, especially the children.

THE OLD SYSTEM A FAILURE How long would a business cor poration consider hiring as manager a man who would spend three-fourths or nine-tenths of his time at some other business? And yet that is practically what every city does that hires a mayor under the old system. If city affairs are worth anything they are worth the attention of a good man all the time." Medford Sun.

Williams and Arthur Wil- The salary of the mayor under the present system is such that he cannot possibly neglect his private interests at all times to look afer the city un less he is a multi-millionaire, and then he has no business being at the head of the city government. It is, well to pay a decent salary and then : let the head of the city affairs be en-! tirely responsible for everything that is done. We would no doubt ' be giv-1 en a much more satisfactory govern-1 ment At present most or us are treating the sift horse pretty bad, be cause the city officials now give their time to the public and their reward is mainly kicks and grunts.

Warren of South Bridg ton, Me., is a blind farmer who suc cessfully operates a seventy-five acre farm. He keeps a dairy of ten or twelve cows, some young stock and hires all of the usual cropping work of the farm. Mr. Warren's part of the farm work Is to care for the live stock and the building. He feeds and other wise cares for the live stock without any assistance whatever. He milks the cows and climbs into the haymow and throws down roughage. Recently Mr. Warren installed a system of run ning water from a spring into a house and barn. The bouse overflow is the barn supply. Another piece of work done by Mr. Warren without aid of any kind was the construction of three horse stalls, which have the ap pearance of being built by a carpenter who understood the business. Cart bodies, sled platforms and hayracks used on the farm are his handiwork. A hayrack made so that it can be knocked down and stored away In a small space Is one of his best achievements.
