Lee Kirchem, while working around on oil stove, spilt hot water on the side of his face and neck and scalded himself. He has been at Oregon City under the doctor's care and is now improving. Aside from Mr. Fullam's holding, spuds are about cleaned up. He has a choice lot of seed and about one hundred sacks left. ' Mr. Neufer took twenty sacks of spuds to Portland last week, for which he received eighty-four dollars. That is easier than raising hogs. While L. Funk was coming home from Oregon City last week he wa3 thrown out of the wagon seat twice and suffered a bruised finger. He says he wishes it had been the fellow who is responsible for the condition of the road. What fall wheat was sown does not look very encouraging, as the cold weather injured it considerable. Owing to the hay crop being dam aged last summer stock is not doing as well as usual and hay has to be be supplemented with grain. L. Funk has raised 100 per cent of his lamb crop this year, but warmer weather would be appreciated. The Live Wires of Oregon City have been invited to Harding Grange hall for a banquet Friday night, if possible.

The chil dren had their usual annual exhibit on and a splendid program was ren dered from 2 to 3 p. m. Then the picture was presented by Mrs. Horn ung, president of the W. C. T. U., who gave quite an interesting talk on the lifee of this great woman. Mrs. Horn- ung is a pleasing speaker and all enjoyed her talk, which touched hea vily on the white ribbon work being done in this state and many others. From 3 to 4 guests examined the ex hibits, then the P. T. A. convened. Business was run through in a hurry and the subject discussed by many. The subject was, "Children's Read ing." The daily newspapers of to day, with all their sensational trage dies, and moving picture plays are quite a problem for parents to confront-with the child of from 10 to 15 years. We certainly as a P. T. A. deem it a great honor to have had our school chosen to receive the Fran ces Willard picture. The presenting of this much esteemed woman's pic ture has become a fixed program in the W. C. T. U. work annually. Miss Scollard, our principal, gave the re sponse and we all join in thanks to the W. C. T. U.

The play, "Fun on the Podunk Lim ited," given under the auspices of our P. T. A. in the A. O. U. W. hall net ted us $87, which is quite a nest egg toward the cause. It was started for a "cement sidewalk" from the O. E. depot to our school house and chanc es are good for another play just as good in the near future for the same purpose. We are now walking in the middle of the gravel road in pref erence to a mud "cow trail," CLARK ES 1! 51jB Many of our customers have said that this is a Bank where they feel at home T IS true that we endeavor to render 100 per cent service to all our clients, whether their deposits are large or small, or regardless of the branch of banking in which they are interested.

It is to laugh I Zimmerman, the imperial secretary of foreign affairs of Germany, ought to have another iron cross and a leather medal besides for this brilliant move.

Brooke was here the first of the week on his way to Hood River, where he has bought another tract of orchard land. He got this tract for less than it would cost to clear it and set out to trees. A good many people lost out in the boom times by buying at boom prices, thinking to unload at still higher prices and when the bottom fell out they went on the rocks. People some of them are like cattle in a stampede; they run wild and jump high and are apt to light low. Beon, the legislator who disgraced himself and his constituents in the last legislature with his rotten bill in the interest of the Southern Pa cific railroad, was said to be white with anger in his efforts to benefit a selfish corporation to the injury of the people of Oregon.

P. Kirchem and family. Henry Swales and Samuel Gerber ran down and killed a silver gray fox recently as a variation of the coyote program. Some of the mud roads are getting to be remarkable for depth and even a Ford has to take a hop, skip and a jump to clear some of the places. There are at least a few who are patriotic enough to agree with Sen ator Lane and W. J. Bryan that it is not worth a war to protect war profit seeking ships and foolhardy Ameri cans that will travel in the face of danger.
