D. Torrance was badly injured last
Sunday while working at the Hawley
mills. He was assisting another man
in carying timber and in some way
it slipped from Mr. Torrance's hands
and struck him, injuring him sevehely.
It was thought at first he could not
live, but in a short time Dr. 0. A.
Welsh and Dr. Strickland were on
hand and rendered all the aid that
was possible. He is at his home on
Molalla avenue.
Mr. Maddox, living on Roosevelt
street, suffered a stroke of paralysis
last Wednesday and is very low. This
is the second stroke he has suffered
lately.
Mr. and Mrs. George Everhart
were very sorry the story was told
that some one stole a Dox of silver
ware during the fire last week. The
goods were found and the owners had
no thought of accusing any one. All
the neighbors worked with a good will
in helping all they could.
Miss Florence Bierman has been on
the sick list the past few days.
Mrs. Parish, iwho has been visiting
her two sons and a daughter here, re
turned to her home at Dayton last
Saturday.

home in the south part of the city

daughter, Mrs. Frank Alldredge, on
Ninth and Taylor streete.
The Ladies' Aid will meet this Fri
day at the home of Mrs. Allison for
an all-day's work. Mrs. Allison will
serve dinner.
Rev. Landsborough will preach
next Sunday at the little white
church. If we could gather in all the
indifferent ones who neglect going to
church, what a large audience there
wtould be. Last Sunday Dr. Milliken
gave a fine sermon, although the
crowd was not large.
"Grandma" Grant has gone back
to Portland to spend the winter with
a daughter.
Mrs. Margaret Scott of near Lents
spent a few days with Mrs. Hickman
on Pleasant avenue.
Well, the time is close at hand
when the political mud-slinging will
at least decrease. When we read of
the many mistakes President Wilson
has made we wonder our government
has stood so well in peace and har
mony at home and abroad. But when
Wall street sends out a "Golden Spe
cial" loaded with capitalists' wives,
who have no right of suffrage in their
own state, to tell the women who do
vote that Hughes is the right man for
the presidency, we are rebellious to
tell them they were on a Fool's Er-;
rand. The wast has just as bright
women as the east and do their own
thinking and no doubt the "Golden
Special" made votes for Wilson in
stead of Hughes. They sent out
campaigners against George Cham
berlain, but he won the victory, and
we are inclined to think the same for
President Wilson. The writer is a
republcan, but expects to vote for thef
candidate we believe the best, and we
believe many others will do the same.

Miss Altman, school teacher in dis
trict 75, was a Portland visitor Satur
day and Sunday.
Clara Fullam is home from high

land is doing the plumbing.
W. H. Smith has purchased a 1
ton truck and formed a partnership
with Joe Crawford to retail milK in
Portland. Both have been sending

tune to lose their mill by fire last
week.
Mr. Haves. Sunday school mission
ary, gave a very interesting stereop-
ticon lecture to an appreciative audi
ence last Sunday night at Bethel
church.
Wonder what the German voter
thinks of the big stick and whiskered
Hughes. To judge from talk, Wilson
should have licked all Europe Ger
many especially but we think Wilson
has Droved his neutrality and this
German for one shall surely support
him. One thing I would like to see
done and that is to cut out abusing
t.hn nrftsident and the calling of names
by stump speakers. Regardless of
politics, the president is tor all par
ties and classes after taking the oath
of office, and it is very un-American
for any one to belittle and bemean
him for trying to keep our nation out
of war.
HAZELIA
Used it Eleven Years
There is one remedy that for many
years has given relief from coughs,
colds, croup and whooping cough. It
is probably the best known family
cough medicine in the world and be
cause it contains no opiates is strong

as adults. Mrs. Chas. Riotz, Allen
Mills, Pa., writes: "I have used

HOMEDALE
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Henriri enter
tained a large crowd of their friends
and neighbors on the twentieth anni
versary of their wedding. They also
entertained unawares some evil dis
posed persons who entered their barn
during the course of the evening and
did a great amount of damage. Fred
has a pretty good idea who the guilty
parties are and maybe the sheriff will
be called upon to arrest Mrs
Mr. and Mrs. George Eggiman

the recipients of a good old fashioned

Lammers, wh'o brought a crowd in his
car, found when he pressed the elec
tric button that he was "up against it"

ally bucked. George cranked and

destroyed or scattered about in every
direction. This is the work of the
same cunning maniac and a party
with blood-hounds ought to be sent to
run him down.

town last week arranging for a so
cialist meeting at the school house on
Friday evening of this week. The
meeting will be addressed by P. W.
Meredith and others. Mr. Thomas
says Wilson will be re-elected, but the
best of all to his mind will be the
election of five or six socialist mem
bers of congress.
Everything indicates the re-election
of Wilson. There's very little betting
and that even on Wilson or odds in
his favor, and the democrats are the
ones who are talking about a land
slide. The best and most enthusiastic
meetings in Portland were held by
the democrats and the political
speeches of Secretary of Labor Wil
son, Chas. A. Towne and Bainbridge
Colby will long be remembered as re
markable efforts in the cause of hu
man progress and the rights of the

One has to laugh to see the car
toons in the Oregonian, they being

to Hughes'; as, for instance, the "pork

Hughes attempts to spear the gov

Such troubles should have immediate
