OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY. OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1916 SOCIAL ANNOYANCES. BATTLE OF CHAPULTEPEC. i I (wf) J .,....,. i- wi Will there be Real Music in your home at Christmas? There is no one so uumusical as to believe that a talking machine produces real music. At best, a talking machine, no matter how much it costs, no matter what artists makes records for it, no matter what claims are made for it by its manufacturers, gives only a hollow imitation of the real music. The NEW EDISON is not a Talking Machine This new invention of the world's great est inventor is in no real sense a talking machine. It represents more than two million dol lars spent in research work by Mr. Edison. It represents the achievement of his am bition to produce a musical instrument . which Re-Creates all forms of music so per fectly that the original cannot be distin guished from the Re-Creation. By hundreds of tests, before hundreds of thousands of music lovers, it has been proved conclusively that when an artist sings or plays In comparison with the New Edison's Re-Creation of that artist's performance, it is impossible to distinguish the original from the Re-Creation. The music critics of more than 200 of America's leading newspapers testify to this fact in the columns of their own papers. We shall be glad to show'' you what the critics say. Hear this new Invention Come to our store and let us give you a concert of Re-created music. Come at any time. You will always be welcome. There is no obligation to buy. We merely want you to hear what we consider the world's greatest musical instrument. BURMEISTER & ANDRESEN Oregon City Jewelers Suspension Bridge Corner A I Milking His Way In the December issue of the American magazine there is an arti cle about a young man who when he decided he wanted to go to college took two cows with him to pay the expenses. Here is an account of his experience as told by a friend: 'There are 'ways and ways' of making one's own expenses through college. It remained, however, for a resourceful Texas boy to hit upon a method of expense-making entirely new in the records of the Agricultur al and Mechanical college of Texas, where he is enrolled as a student. "P. S. Goen of Harvey, a rural community near College Station, the home of the college, 'showed up' at the school last fall with the typical baggage and equipment of a young collegian and, in addition, two good grade Jersey cows. " 'We had an extra suply of cows and a shortage of currency at home,' Goen explained to President Bizzell. 'I want a college education, and I am not going to let the lack of money de feat me. I have decided that I can sell enough milk to the residents of the campus to enable me to meet at least my incidental expenses. All I ask is the use of a barn and a small pasture.' Through the influence of tho pres ident Goen was given the use of a bam and small pasture, and thus en tered upon tho dairy business. From the beginning he experienced no trou ble in disposing of the product of the two cows at tho satisfactory figure of nine cents a quart for whole milk. The two cows brought him an average return of fifty-four dollars per month. Feed cost approximately seven dol lars per head per month, leaving the enterprising young Texan a profit of forty dollars per month. Expenses at the college are very low, and with this income Goen finished the year with a little change in his pockets." MORE MEN THAN WOMEN HAVE APPENDICITIS Surgeons state men are slightly more subject to appendicitis than women. Oregon City people should know that a few doses of simple buck thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka, often prevent appendi citis. This mixture removes such surprising foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas. The INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is surprising. The Jones Drug Co. MAY SELL MINE Terrill Tells of Deal for Silica Deposit He Discovered It appears that the silica deposits on the property of Charles F. Terrill in this city will be developed on an extensive scale as a result of an op tion granted to Portland interests by the Silica Kings Mining company Sat urday. If the deal materializes, Mr. Terrill says, the new corporation will erect a large plant to mine the silica. Mr. Terrill discovered this deposit whilo digging a basement under his house about a year ago. The silica from the mine is being used now in paving operations, and for paints, soaps, polishes and modeling. Notice to Sell Stock in The Damascus Telephone Company For Delin quent Assessment.

That there were objections lu the so cial amenities of lil'o In the tenth cen tury similar tp those observable at the present day is shown In a remarkable book, "Makura no Zoshl," which was the work of Sel Shongon, a poetess of the ancient Japanese court. One of ber chapters she devotes to "Detestable Things," and these included: "A visitor who sits down to regale you with a long tale when you are in a hurry. If by chance he Is an Intimate friend you can pack him off until an other time. But those whom you can not summarily dismiss are detestable Indeed. "Babies who cry or dogs'tbat bark Just when you are trying to overbear something. "A dog that barks at visitors. I have often wanted to kill such dogs. "People who Interrupt your story to show off their own cleverness. All In terrupters, young and old, are very de testable. , "People who when yon are telling a story break In with 'Oh, I know,' and give quite a different version from your own. "Either at home or In the palace to be roused up to receive' an unwelcome visitor In order to avoid whom you have been-pretending to be asleep." INDEXING BOOKS. The Custom la an Old One That De veloped Rather Slowly. Tlie custom of indexing books devel oped gradually. Cicero used the word "index," but in the sense of a table of contents. Seneca provided some works which he sent to a friend with notes of particular passages, "so that he who only alined at the useful might be spared the trouble of examining them entire." This was at least a partial "Index" In the modern sense. Anno tated, or at least explanatory, tables of contents seem to have preceded the in dex proper. Such tables followed the order of ap pearance Of the subjects In the book It self. Alphabetical arrangement, which was the beginning of the real Index, appenrs not to have been thought of until the Invention of printing, and even then It spread but slowly. Eras mus was one of the first to provide his works with alphabetical Indexes. The custom did not become universal until well Into the sixteenth century. The first Index to an English book Is said to be that printed ln-Polydore Vergil s "Angliiie HIstorlae" in 1540. An edition of this work published ten years Inter has an Index of thlrty-soven pages. A Clause In Napoleon's Will. Peter the Great is said to have made a will In which he exhorted his heirs to approach as neatly as possible to Con stantinople and toward India, but the authenticity of this document has been disputed, and It is shrewdly suspected to have been forged lute In the eight eenth century by August Kotzebue. Oi the genuineness, however, of the last will and testament of Napoleon I. tliere can be no manner of doubt' One of Us clauses was as vindictive as the testamentary Injunction of Queen Aus trigilda to her husband to have her two doctors killed and burled with her. The exile of Longwood absolutely be queathed 10,000 francs to a fellow called Cantillon, who had been tried In Paris for an attempt to murder the Duke of Wellington. The muu wns still survlv. lug In Brussels when Napoleon III. came to the throne, and Cantillon was duly paid his legacy. It Wat th Last Serious Conflict of Our War With Mexico. Chapultepec U the name of a hill three miles southwest of the City of Mexico, rising about fifty feet above the surrounding plain. On It the Aztec uaouarcbs are said to have made their Slimmer home, and here In 17S, (ial vez, then viceroy of Mexico, began to erect an Imposing fortified castle, which, though never completed, was used after 1822 as a inilltury school In the war between Mexico and the Uulted States the hill was strongly fortified by the Mexicans and was the scene, on Sept. 12 and 13. 1817, of the last serious conflict of the war. After the bnttle of Mollno del Bey Sept. 8, General Scott planned a move ment against Chapultepec and on the. 12th opened a heavy bombardment, un dcr cover of which, on the following day. Generals Pillow and, Quitman supported respectively by Generals Worth and Smith, made gnlliint as snults, tho former carrying the fortifl cations on the west and the latter on the southeast. The Mexicans, after making a stubborn defense, were driven In confusion back toward the city. On the 14th the Americans en tered the City or Mexico, and the war wns virtually ended. During the three days (Sept. 12, 13 and Hi the Americans lost 803 In killed and wounded. General Pillow being among the latter, while the Mex leans are known to have lost a much larger number. On the side of the Americans about 7..r(0 men were en gaged and about 4,iHH) on the Mexlcau side. Queer Ads. An English paper advertises for young person who can cook and dress children" and refers In Its "lost and found" column to "a doll belonging to a little girl stuffed with rags." This is the paper that contains the following! A gentleman has a school for sale. Contains two schoolrooms which will accommodate 300 pupils one above an other." Also this: "A lady offers for Bale a baboon, three tabby cats and a parrot. She states that, being now married, she has no use for them, as their amiable qualities are all com blued In her husband." .Immune. 'Blacksmiths seem to have a reputa tion for honesty." 'Deservedly so, but due partly per haps to the nature of the business. No body encumbers a blacksmith with trust funds. There is nothing to adul terate lu his line. Compared with some f us, a blacksmith has few tempta tions to resist." Kansas City Journal. A Clean Record. "What makeR Jinks so proud of his ancestors? I never heard any of them did anything." "That's exactly the point. So many persons' ancestors did do things which arot them into trouble with Hie police." -Ulchmond Times-Dispatch. Memorial Service Held The annual memorial service of the Oregon City odge of Moose was held at the lodge rooms here Sunday afternoon and the tribute of the membership paid to departed broth ers. The lodgemen, after the meet ing, decorated the graves of deceased members at Mountain View cemetery. Goorge F. Johnson delivered the me morial address at the lodge room and the Rev. T. J. Williams of St. Paul's church, pronounced the invocation. s To Be Married The wedding of Miss Nieta Hard- j ing, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Harding, and Henry A. McKinney of Baker, Ore., will take place at St. Paul's Episcopal church on Thursday , evening, the Rev. T. J. Williams read- ing the service. Miss Harding is 1 well known here, where she has spent her lifetime. Mr. McKinney is a Baker county rancher. Easily Settled. "Be easy," said a rich merchant to a ailt finding son-lu-law, who was per petually pestering lilui with complaints of his wife's shortcomings. "As her behavior is so intolerable. I will alter my will and cut her off with a shilling." Die old mini heard no mure of his (laughter's fallings. Rise a Little Higher. Those who live on the mountains have a longer day than those who live In (he valleys. Sometimes till we need to brighten our day Is to rise a little higher A man ought never to quarrel with a womnn. He should bear her unrea son In sllenee. Napoleon Taxpayers Meet The annual meeting of the Eastern Clackamas Taxpayers' league will be held in Estacada on Monday after noon, December 4. The election of officers will be followed by a discus sion of the various appropriations provided for in the county budget. It is expected that the result of this meeting will be a big delegation from this part of the county to attend the annual budget meeting in Oregon City on December 9. Courier and Daily Journal $4.75. INSECT INVENTORS. Clever Things Done by Spiders, Bees, Wasps and Ants. "The best commentary perhaps on such a sentence as The Inventor Is Just a clairvoyant who translates his forecastlngs to castings' Is that among our greatest Inventors are the Insects," writes James A. Ford In America. "As a warning reflection on human clever ness these Insect Inventors should not be forgotten. The wasp made ex cellent waterproof paper ages before man ever thought of doing so. and made It from wood pulp. We have been using that material only for I couple of generations. "The bee and the wasp used hypo dermic needles long before man ever thought of them, and the bee uses formic acid as an antiseptic to pre serve its honey .from fermentation. "The spider made the (list suspen sion bridge according to all the rules of the craft, and sonic spiders make excellent airships. One of theln even makes a diving bell. "The bee makes a wax that we can not Imitate. "The silkworm is still the unrivaled manufacturer of silk. "To these we might add the ant. which mukes tunnels and subways: the mason bee. with Its cement work, and the great pencock moth, which calls Its kind from a distance by wire less telegraphy. But to complete the story we should have lo reprint Henri Fabre's books." Dye Before You Patch. "Never patch a garment Just before it goes to the dyers." .was the advice of a young , woman in a dyeing establish ment. "Unless the patch ami the thread It is sewed on with are exactly the same kind of material as the garment they will come out of the d.ve pot different shades. Here is u blue skirt that was brought to us cream colored. The cloth had worn through In several places, and the owner had patched the tiny holes so painstakingly that the patches could not be detected In the original color, but after the dyeing they show ed up a darker blue. The amount of dye any material will take depeuds upon how much cotton, wool or silk it contains. It Is so hurd to determine that exactly that any garment that has to be mended can be matched much better after dyeing." New York Suu. Old Leather Bottles. Leather bottles, or blackjacks, were common in Europe two centuries ago. The bottles were often made of one skin doubled up and closely stitched together, leaving un aperture for the neck. The stopper was made of wood, horn or old leather. A good deal of care was required in the preparation of the leather, which had to he oiled and worked with hammers lo make It supple and then washed with n lye ao that all the Impurity was entirely re moved, leaving the leather clean and dry. No moisture or air had anv effect on 1L Moth Killer. If moths get iuto "a closet saturate a cloth twelve Inches square with for maldehyde; place cloth In the Closet and close up tightly for twelve hours. The same plan may be used in chests, trunks or boxes where clothing Is stored. The fumes will kill moths as well as their eggs. New York Amerl can. An Obstinate Family.

Exchange. Circuit Court Business , A demurrer in thet case of F. M. t Morgan against R. E. and P. L. Ritchie was over-ruled by Judge J. U. Campbell Tuesday. An order extend ing the time for filing a bill of excep tions against the Willamette Valley Southern railway has been granted to Lionel C.
