2 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1915. FROM DR. FORD News of the County and Suburbs jt tt jC v5 J Local and County Items of Interest to Our Readers WILLAMETTE The masquerade deaf and dumb party given by Mrs. Mary Cristeser and her seventh and eighth grades last Friday evening, was a great suc cess. Most of those present were so effectually disguised that it was dif ficult for their recognition even by members of their own families. Be fore unmasking, a Who's Who Contest was held, which resulted in Lloyd Duncan and Vena Barnes carrying off the honors, since they were successful in recognizing the most of the persons in disguise. Suitable prizes were awarded. Some very unique and pretty cha rades were given. Miss Cora Hunt and Thelma DeBok were the most suc cessful in guessing these and they, too received prizes. Much interest was manifested in giving the school yells under the lead ership of Terry Barnes. . From the sentiment of the yells and the en thusiasm with which they were given there was no doubt but that all of the school work is progressing with the utmost harmony. The patrons declare that they never had a better school. Among those present as guests, there were: Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Court ney, Mrs. Jess Hyatt and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Shipley, Miss Cora Hunt and Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Romig and daughter, Elizabeth. After the playing of games and the partaking of refreshments, suitable to the occasion, all adjourned just be fore the midnight hour arrived. All seemed to have a most pleasant time, and much credit is due the hosts and hostesses. Principal C. F. Romig, Misses Cris tie, Wirt and Marshall, teachers of Willamette, attended the reception given by the W. C. T. U. of Oregon City to the School teachers of Ore gon City and the surrounding neigh boring districts on Monday afternoon at the Baptist church, and they report a most pleasant time. John Helburg, of the Mountain Road district, who was severely hurt in a runaway about a week ago, has recovered sufficiently to be removed to his own home. Mrs. Geo. Zielinski has been ill for some time and is reported no better. The home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Young was brightened by the arrival of a daughter Thursday, Oct. 28th. Both child and mother are reported as get ting along finely. The regular meeting of the Ladies Aid of the M. E. Church was held in the church Thursday afternoon of this week.

The man who replaces tho culls from his Dock or adds to its size with ewe lambs of his own raising bus an oppor tunity to take advantage of several fac tors. The ewe lambs retained for breed ing purposes should be the flrst born rather thau the last. In other words, have them as nearly the same age as possible. It Is said by old shepherds that late born lambs have a tendency to breed lute, and many times they fail to develop Into good, thrifty breeding ewes. Ewe lambs that are about the same age will usually all breed about the same time, and hence one can ex pect more uniformity lu the lamb crop. Again, the early maturing ewe lamb should be retained. By so doing one Wirt rendered a very beautiful solo at this service. The school board at their meeting last Monday evening decided to stan dardize the rooms of the grades. On Friday evening of this week the second year of the high school will hold a reception for the Frsehman class, the eighth grade, the board of directors and their wives, the teachers and the high school pupils living in Willamette and attending Oregon City High School. A mesquerade Halloween party was held Saturday evening, Oct. 30, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isnogle. Games were a prominent feature of the even ing, and Mrs. J. McNeil and Mr. Carl Mrs. Josio Snyder, of Portland, is spending several clays here with her aunt, Mrs. Will Hall, who has been very poorly lately. Mrs. Leona Hickman and Mrs. Har vey Hickman were visitors with Mrs. Amanda Hickman at her home this week. Mrs. M. M, Hall is moving into the Uix property this week. Mrs. J. P.

And the Marines are all 'het up" over the matter, too. "Telling it" to them has its drawbacks, for. as "Johnies-on-the-spot" they form the tirst line ot the national mobile de- tense, and they cannot get the view point of the peace-at-any-price propa gandists who have established head quarters close by. "The United Marine' Corps is up to maximum strength this minute and is early maturing lambs. This Is a big factor In the business from a market viewpoint, for the early maturing lamb Is always by far the most profitable. One of the things that help a lamb to mature early is a mother that Is a good suckler. Here again Is another factor for the breeder to consider.

Wholesale liquor houses in Port land are sending out frantic appeals to send in orders for booze, as they want to unload before tho dry spell begins; and thoy warn their patrons that when HUG arrives a person can get only two dozen bottles of beer and two quarts of whiskey a month then. How very considerate they are to remind us of this law. A Federal Reserve note was receiv ed at the postoffice hero lately in the way of business. Pray tell me how the government can furnish tho reg ional banks with money the people's money at two and one-half percent when the people, according to John Skelton Williams, comptroller of hte Currency, have to pay these banks from six percent up to 24 percent.

The ewes usually have the fence cor nel's, roadsides, stubble field nnd truck patches cleaned up before this time of the year, and the owner can well afford to give them plenty of feed for the proper conditioning of the breeding season. On the average farm very lit tle or nothing need be expended for feed between the weaning and breed Ing period. This Is the season of the year sheep are a valuable asset to the farm, for they utilize the weeds and other products that would be consid ered waste If It were not for them. By the time the breeding season arrives (he ewes are in good condition nnd thrifty from the tender forage they lime grazed from waste places.

WORDS IN PASSING Item Printed in Courier Brings in at Least Two Comments People appear to read the Courier. Last week this paper published a brief and not over-serious item, announcing the forthcoming retirement of the Hon. Gordon E. Hayes. Since then people have been cominsr in and saying things, and others have been writing. The Courier doesn't feel called upon to offer here all the commentaries that have been made on F I im& ail t y ectr ici Simplifies Housekeeping In The New Home People who are building new homes should see that their houses are properly wired for Electric Domestic Appliances, not forgetting the Electric Range, which has arrived to stay.

Maybe the Colonel did say this I do not know, for I never attended any of his little talks, not even his joint debates with Clarence True Wilson. I have often heard Dr. Wilson, and found him entertaining, so I didn't feel that I cared to go and listen to the Colonel try to poke holes in Dr. Wilson's arguments. But I get away from my subject as I notice that John Stark does quite frequently. And not caring to imitate Mr. Stark, let me get back to Sunday closing, which is the matter I have in mind. Personally I think Sunday closing would be a good thing, if it was exer cised in the right direction. For in stance, I would like to see the over worked and tired-out ministers given a rest on Sunday, These people ought to receive lots more sympathy than they do, for they really lead a very hard life. Most of them, according to their own statements, are grossly underpaid; and for the stipend that they receive they have to spend five days of the week cheering up the doleful, spend all day Saturday get ting up a sermon that they preach Sunday, and on Sunday they only get about three hours attention from the members of their flock. Aside from this they are constant ly beseiged.by people who want to borrow money from them, by others who want to sell them gilt-edged stock printed in two colors and car rying pictures of a corncopia of plen ty, and by young men who want to know if two dollars is a big enough. fee for the marriage ceremony. They have no time to themselves at all, and have to be constantly at the call of those who think they need them. In addition to this they have to wear good clothes, eat chicken every time they are invited out to dinner, and must never laugh unduly or go to a minstrel or a girl show. Their lives arc hard and barren and drear, and rest of us. JEREMIAH DODGE. NOVEL STOCK FOOD Who's "Sore" Now?

It is manufactured into a fertilizer and employed as a fertilizer filler, accord ing to the United States Geological Survey; it is also used for making pa per, stock food and mud baths. In Germany and Austria peat baths are well-established institutions, and dur ing the last few years such baths have been tried in some of the sanitariums in the Middle West and found bene ficial in certain cases. As food for live stock, however, peat seems to have found its most curious use, in asmuch as the kind of peat used is thousands of years old, and, although it may still be classed as vegetable in character, it is only a step removed from low-grade coal. As a stock food it is used in a mixture containing mo lasses. The results are stated to have been very satisfactory in practice, the peat acting as a tonic and corrective. The peat used is the black, well-humified or rotted kind and is prepared in prac tically the same way as when hspH fnr fertilizer. Peat for various nnmnc. es was produced in the UnitsH smtoo last year to the extent of 57,000 tons, valued at $367,000. The of the United States are of enormnna extent.

One man, a farmer, dropped in and spake as follows: "John Stark is all right, keep him -writing. And I see that Hayes is going to take his shingle off. If he does that his roof will leak worse than ever.
