The funeral services were held at the Lewis home near Fiwood on Saturday, May 8th, at one o'clock. 1 Mr. W. J. Wirtz, of Sandy, officiat ' ed. The interment was in Sandy cem 1 etery. Mr. Lewis' last request was that none of his family wear biacK , for him as a symbol of mourning, as he believed it was one's duty to car ry sunshine instead of gloom and that the wearing of mourning had a tendency to cast gloom upon all who came in contact with it. Wearing a gloomy countenance and draping it in mourning to exploit one's troubles before the world can in no way do good and is certainly not expressive c. a belief in everlasting life. The cui-tom of wearing mourning does not belong to progression but borders closely onto the customs of the heathen. Mr. Lewis was born August third, 1839, at Harford, Susq., Co., Pa. As a young man he went to Iowa, and remained there until 1872, when he went to Pierpont, Ohio, where he married Miss' Jennie Baker, where they resided until 1889, then moved to Conneaut, Ohio. In 1906 they came west, and have lived at Cher ryville and Firwood, Ore., for the past five years. Mr. Lewis was a devoted husband md father, beloved by all who knew him best, always ready to help the needy and to do good wherever he could. He was a member of the National Society for Spiritual Ad vancement for a number of years, to which he remained faithful. A wife and five children survive him, two sons and two daughters in the East, and a daughter, Mrs. K. A. Thayer, who is at present living with her mother. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends and neighbors. HOMEDALE August Splinter was given a sur prise on his 85th birthday, when his friends and neighbors gathered to do him honor, bringing with them lots of good things to eat. Music and cards were the chief methods of employing time and the fortunate winners carried away with them pretty and useful gifts. Three gal lons of ice cream had to be disposed of during supper, but owing to the enormous capacity of Fred and Chris even the paddle and the bottom of the freezer were cleaned. Sneak thieves are again abroad ih our neighborhood. Mrs. E. H. Smith informed our correspondent that her cream was stolen the night before the cream man made his rounds. I beg to call the attention of the voters in Maple Lane to the law, which is in force regarding the run ning of cattle at large, as I under stand there is a movement on foot to lay a complaint before the author ities. The fine for the first offence is $20. Mr. and Mrs. Dagman entertained the Card Club on Saturday night, and some very pretty presents were carried away by the winners. It was ealy Sunday morning when the party broke up, and hereby hangs a tale. To reach our homes we had to go through the woods, but Mr. Curtis, an old timber cruiser and life-long woodsman, who, by the way, had just got back from a trip to Seattle, Ta coma and 'Frisco, took chage of a large party as guide. Lantern in hand, and with the crowd following in single file, our leader and guide started off, calling out "follow me." We did follow. We walked and walk ed; we climbed over fences and fell over logs, we fell into holes, we barked our shins; we tore our clothes, and we cursed our guide under our breath but still no homes. We pass ed houses in the woods of whose very existence we never dreamed. Dogs barked and chased us, and several of the ladies of the party were nearly ready to give up when that good old standby, Omar, thought he recogniz ed a star that was pretty close to Mulino, so, taking' the lead away from our thoroughly lost guide, Omar, after more walking, more climbing of fences; more tearing of clothes and more cursing (under our breaths) finally landed us from the depths of despair to the tracks of the W. V. S. railroad close to Beaver Creek. As the roosters were crow ing some of us reached home, swear ing that never again in the middle of the night in the middle of the woods, would we trust ourselves to the guidance of a man who had just got back from Portland. ness, however, which does not allow anything to be given away. One of the prosperous farm fam ilies in the county is that of Philip Evans in Dover town. Coming on a rough piece of unimproved land five years ago they now have 20 acres cleared, half of which is in artichokes and carrots, on which hogs are turn ed to feed and fatten themselves, and they have been Bold to butchers. Fed in this way they grow into prime shape without any grain. These hogs plow the ground to a depth of four and five feet after the artichokes, and they remove all fern roots also. They fertilize the ground and the ar tichokes also come up every year. This beats the dairy proposition a (Continued on Page 11) CHERRY VI LLE The gentle rain came in good time and did a world of good to grow ing crops of every kind.

These things might be put to better use, by feeding the starving poor.
