and grieved on Sunday morning by
new of the death of one of Its old
est and most highly respected mem
bers, Mrs. Rachel Schrock, which had
taken place at about one o'clock a m.

customed health and had attended the
funeral of the little cntld of a distant
relative on Saturday afternoon. Re
turning with her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. S'mon Miller,
she requested to be taken to the home
of her son, Dan Schrock, for a few
days" visit.
At her son's home she waa, appar
ently, tn her usual haHh and splrttr.
AfOr supper she conversed for a
while wtth the family, retired at an
early hour and slept quietly till after
midnight when she was attacked by
one of the paroxysms of coughing to
which she, was subject and though
everything that could be thought of
for her relief was speedily done it
was of no avail. Death came to her
within a quarter of an hour after her
first selinre.
Mrs. Schrock waa widely esteemed
for the genial kindly nature that had
manifested itself to all whom she had
met during her long residence In our
place. Her death crMates a void
which will not soon be filled. We
wish to convey through this paper our
heartfelt sympathy to the relatives
who are left to mourn her loss.

Day Time-Night Time-Any Time
The Stover
Gasoline
Engine
Is Ready for Work
THE STOVER ENGINE is an ideal farm power. More than that it it a prac-
tical farm power. The Stover Engine is simple and strong. It has few parts.
Take the cut of the Stover shown here and compare it with the picture of any
other engine on the market. Compare the engines themselves if you can. Note
the difference. Notice that the Stover is stronger and better in every detail. Now,
why don't you get next to the fact that you are cheating yourself by not owning
one of these engines? Everyday you are doing lots of work that could be better
and more cheaply done by a Stover Engine. Get the idea that an owner of a gaso
line engine has to be an engineer out of your head. He doesn't that is, if his
engine is a Stover. A few minutes instruction will make you able to operate
your Stover as an old hand. That's why we say that the Stover is an ideal farm
power. It is made right. It is giving satisfaction to 3500 users right here at home
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. We sell them in sizes ranging from one to
sixty horse power.
WE ASK ONLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YIU WHAT THE STOVER
. WILL DO FOR YOU
