We hear that the Jersey picnic held

the nerve to act when the right time
comes, consider tne case ot area
Beechil here, who went stony broke
a few years ago in the contract busi
ness in Portland, and came out and
took up a homestead near Bright
wood. This was a hard proposition
but he tackled it and cleared up
some land and worked around at
whatever he could get to do. Later
he took a contract at driving ties on
the Sandy river after others had
failed and luck favored him with' a
good stage of water so that he clear
ed up $2000 in one month. He then
bought a home in Gresham at a rare
bargain, which he could double his
money on so that his children could
have better schooling. Then he built
a flume three miles long from a mill
five miles east and made money
enough driving ties this spring to
more than nav for building and has
a contract for five years to carry
lumber and ties down his flume.
This will easily pay him $5000 a
year. Next, he bought a saw mill
near Corbett for $600, for which he
was offered' $1200 a few days after
he bought it. Allen Emit is associat
ed with him in this saw mill, and he
is as big a hustler as Fred, himself.

trial commission in the Colorado fuel

young I had a fever and it left me
with a cough every winter. Thirty
two years ago I read about Foley's
Honey and Tar and bought some and
it helped me. I use it yet and it
helps me every time. I am a widow

lingering coughs and colds that hang
on. Just fine for children for croup
and whooping cough. Contains no
opiates. Sold Everywhere.
TWILIGHT,
The welcome given our returned
soldier boys on last Thursday even
ing was a complete success. Up
wards of 200 people were not only
entertained but fed bountifully. Many
lunches were afterward sent those
unfortunately absent. It was a social
success, the literary part of the pro
gram was entertaining- and the ban
quet could not have been improved
upon. Judge Dimick delivered the
principal address of the evening.
Miss Maxine Telford entertained us
with a violin solo, and George Ran
dall of Central Point, rendered a voc
al solo, both responding to encores.
Roll call of our roster credited fifteen
soldier boys to school district No.
109 and these were seated at a table
on the stage together with an old
veteran of '61-'66 at either end.P. H
Mead and W. A. Dodds. , Very grac
iously did the latter bow their heads
with V brief eulogy of the former,
which was magnanimously respond
ed to.
A second table seating upwards of
60 people was spread along one side
of the main auditorium and served
the balance of the audience. After
wards, social entertainment further
demonstrated to our soldier boys the
deep feeling of our populace toward
our defenders many were the con
gratulations extended and expressed

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford One Ton Truck is one of
the sure business utilities, and likewise
just as big a necessity on the farm.
Farming is surely a business proposition
wherein success depends upon econom
ical methods with up-to-date machinery.
The Ford Truck will prove a great econ
omy on the farm. The marvel is "how
the farmer has got along without it all
these years." It is a servant that serves,
always ready and always economical.

hopes of a successful future.
The hall was beautifully decorat
ed with flags, bunting and flowers, in
citing numerous compliments from
those in attendance. Large bouquets
of roses and potted plants graced the
tables, covered with linens of immac
ulate whiteness, on which, was serv
ed sandwiches, pickles, and -toffee,
strawberries and ice cream. It was
assuredly a pleasant affair enjoyed by
all and accompanied by no regrets.
May the boys, as a final reward on
this earth, enjoy much prosperity
and at all future time carry the same
esteem in which they are now held.
Earl Bentley and wife from High
land, attended the soldier boys' en
tertainment exercises. iAIso visitors
from Mt. Pleasant and Central Point
were noticed and welcomed.
We have a peculiarity in the form
of a citizen, who greets each new
comer with the information that to
successfully grow onions in Oregon,
the soil should be compacted by a
daily tramp over the oriion bed. His
logic is inexplicable, but great pleas
ure is derived iff its reiteration.
The Dodds entertained friends
again last Sunday most admirable
hosts. (Editor This is a standing
item in the Twilight columns.)
Bert Harvey, a discharged sailor,
returned home last Monday.
Weather continues perfectly satiS'
factory. Growing grains and veg
etation of all kinds could not be more
promising, and wild pasture never ex
ceeded its present condition, and to
me it seems roses were never more
profuse or lovely.
After liberally donating toward the
expense of our late entertainment,
Mr. Peter Jacobson approached the
committee with additional aid, in case
of a shortage in the exchequer, which
properly marks the man. Mr., Jacob-
son is a most excellent citizen.
Sheep shearing has been the ruling
activity of the week among our
farmers and stock raisers. Flee;ws
are averaging around nine pounds,
with a prevailing market around
forty-five cents.
Did you know there were 3000 is
lands in the Phillipine Archipelago,
with 400 of them occupied?
A kin picnic was pitched on the
banks of the Willamette near Pipes
siding. L. E. Bentley and family, his
son, Earl, and wife, of Highland, and
the Criteser family an enjoyable
half day followed.
Now if some one will decide for
Tom Kelland, what make of a car he
wants, the cage, or garage, will soon
have an occupant.
William H. Taft is the logical re-
publican candidate to succeed Presi
dent Wilson. Just now of all times,
we need a level headed, well inform
ed and experienced man at the head
of our affairs. No saner man lives
than Mr. Taft. We don't want a sol
dier at this time.
L. A. Montgomery has purchased
100 cords of wood from Frank War
ner for this fall's delivery on the
Oregon City market.
Birds are so numerous that the
growers' share of this season's cher
ry crop is already limited.
Really the most amusing incident
given rise to by our soldier boys' ban
quet rests with Jimmy Hylton. Fully
attired for the occasion, reclining on
couch awaiting his wife s final
preparations, he fell asleep sudden
ly awakening, he missed the children.
Slisrhtly peeved at not having been
called, he rushed out, closing and
locking the door after him, in search
of the rest of his household, whom
he supposed were on their way to tho
entertainment. To his surprise, on
locating the children, his wife was
found absent and further search lo
cated that lady locked up at home.
The peevishness was now transferred,
the burden thrown on Jimmy, whose
glibness of tongue soon calmed the
waters, the family arriving a little
late, but in perfect accord.
A little perseverance on the part of
the Germans, and the "Boobs" of al
lies will compensate the Huns for
trampling over Belgium.
Mrs. L. E. Bentley left Tuesday ror
