OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1916, Which Do You Prefer? It is important for reasons of health and practical economy for every housekeeper to ask herself this question: "Do I prefer a pure baking powder like Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking powder made of alum or phosphate, both derived from mineral sources ? " The names of the ingredients printed on the label show whether the kind you are now using or any brand, new or old, that may be offered is a genuine cream of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate or alum compound. Royal Baking Powder contains no alum nor phosphate. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO.

Kirchem; other members of the board of di rectors, L. S. Tenny, L, Funk and G. C. Armstrong; secretary and treasur er, 0. I). Robbing; manager, A. L. Funk. The secretary's report showed a very encouraging condition as com pared with past financial reports, as it seems there should be about $100 left a the close of the year to apply on the outstanding debt. This will be quite different from having to ac eept temporary loans from officers to tide through the close of the year, as was the case last year, and for a num ber of years previous.

SCHOOL CLUBS BUSY Superintendent Calavan and Exten sion Worker Visit Schools His program of work kept County School Superintendent Calavan very busy last week, and in his labors with the schools of the county he was assisted by Miss Helen Cowgill, a member of the extension staff of the Oregon Agricultural college. Mr. Calavan and Miss Cowgill con ducted a series of very interesting meetings at several schools and paid special attention to the progress of industrial club work during the last three days of the week. The first of the meetings was held at Ardenwald, where the keenest interest is aroused by the industrial club work. The clubs are already engaged in project work, according to the superintendent. At Wichita the school workers found much interest, but no perma nent organization. The children will work along tho lines followed by the club members. At Batten there is no organization, but at Jennings Lodge the school is well organized into clubs and the children are alive with interest in their work. The same condition ob tains at Oak Grove, where work has already started. ' At Clackamas the club work is be ing carried on by a large and enthus iastic club, which has its projects under way. Harmony school is or ganized and is working with keen in terest. Here the children are to have a school garden in addition to their regular project duties. Gladstone school maintains inter est in the work through a well organ ized club and projects have already started at Willamette. At Mt.

Progress is being made rapidly with the work and the interest of tho group was abetted by an illustrated lecture on various phases of the club undertakings by Miss Cowgill. R. L. Holman and T. P.

Do you know how shamefully posterity has maligned bim? You have heard all your life that I Tnrlllnr TCa nnmo,i w tho nnmnn god Janus anQ tuat Janua was the god pf war, hence the first month of the year must be turbulent. Or perhaps you have gone deeper Into the signifi cance of the first month's name and have been told that It was given the honor of heralding that gory god be cause he had two faces, one looking Into the past and the other looking Into the future, as the first month of the year naturally would do. But through It all you have held rigidly before you the fact that he was the patron, the devotee, perhaps even the Instigator of war. ' As a matter of history, Janus was a venerable and thoroughly established deity before the little band of Trojans carried eastern culture to Italy, when the primitive Italians had not begun to suspect that war was an institution which called for a "goat" War needed no justification or excuse. Men fought because that seemed the only thing to do. As for Janus, he was their great est sun god. He presided over the ris ing and setting of the sun, and hence he was the god who looked after the propitious beginnings and happy end ings of nlL.undertakings. He was rep resented with two faces, which looked to the east and the west. His temple in Rome was closed only In time of peace, and as there seldom was peace It was usually open. Hence he was called the god of war. St, Louis Globe Democrat . TRIBUTE TO THE MULE. With All His Faults He Is a More or Less Noble Character. The mule is singularly free from the Ills to which horseflesh is heir. He has more days' work in him in 3G5 consecu tive days than any farm animal or farm engine. He requires less feed when at work than any horse that can approach his capacity, for when be Is idle he can forage successfully where the draft horse finds the picking too slim. He takes pot luck with any owner cheerfully and keeps fit upon it In peace the mule is man's most faithful servant, although the gentlest of his kind Is not entirely free from original sin and the oldest may experi ence unaccountable sporadic outbreaks of devilment. In war the mule retains his character as a hard toller, a good scout and a homely figure about whom the poets and painters at the front do not grow enthusiastic. Although he is unsung when living and not greatly honored, he is not unwept when at thirty or be yond he lies down, sighs peacefully rather than regretfully and gives up his Spartan spirit. ' If there is a hereafter for animals the mules' paradise Is a series of Ely sian fields with fences that only a good jumper can clear, with colts to chase, with something alive and preferably two legged to kick and with plenty of rough, plain victuals and a few goat3 to play with In sportive moods and ne gro drivers not brutal, yet not too in dulgent for human coinpannionshlp. Louisville Courier-Journal. Portuguese and Codfish. It is an interesting fact that the fish ermen of northern Portugal started and developed the fishing industry on the "banks" off the northern coast of America, and, though they now send fewer ships, their taste for salt cod from Newfoundland is unabated in fact, it is a national Portuguese dainty. It is found in every little grocery shop, hard and brown as a board. A number of Portuguese have made their homes on the islands to the south of the main land of Massachusetts, and there the dark eyes of the Iberian maiden, raven locks and a certain picturesque element In dress are not infrequent. This con nection with Portugal dates back many years, the ships of Marthas Vineyard bridging the distauce over sea and re turning with Portuguese crews. Ex change. Royal Nicknames. Louis XIV. was "Le Grand Mo narque." His court was the model for European princes. Louis Philippe was the "Citizen King;" at one time ho was "King Smith," the name he assumed when he escaped from France. Mary, queen of Scots, was the "White Queen." Mary of Modena, wife of James II., was tho "Queen of Tears.1' Tho "Nine Days' Queen" was Lady Jane Grey. Christian III, of Denmark was the "Father" of his people. Somewhat Confusing. "And how is grannie, Brian?" asked the kind friend. "Oil, she's better," replied Brian.

STORE Oregon City's Busy Store DANCE IS A SUCCESS targe Sum of Money Results from Auction of Program The auction idea in connection with the Rose Queen dance held at Busch's hall on Friday evening was certainly a brave one, and netted the campaign committee nearly $150, which will go toward the election of Miss Rose Up tegrove as queen of the Portland Rose Festival. From every viewpoint the dance was a great success. Judge Grant B. Dimick was the man behind the ham mer on the auction block and to his efforts are attributed much of the success of that sterling campaign feature. The bidding throughout the evening was keen and a sum approxi mating one-hundred dollars was the result of the auction of the candid date's dances. The dances with Miss Uptegrove sold rapidly and the high est bid of the evening was that plac ed by Willard Hawley, Jr., who paid $11 for the privilege of the event. The first open dance on the candi date's program sold to Dr. Guy Mount for $8 and Ralph Parker raised the price of the next number to $7 be fore he was assured the pleasure of dancing with Miss Uptegrove. Wil lard Hawley, Jr., paid $3 for the Paul Jones number, and lost his charming partner within a very short time. Three extra numbers on the program brought a total of $13.50. Members of the Fallsarian organi zation acted as floor managers during the dance, and they added an impor tant part to the success of the ball. Other details of the dance that helped toward its splendid success were the music of the Moose orchestra and the delicious refreshments that were served throughout the evening by a bevy of attractive young ladies.
