DRIVER SLIGHTLY HURT
George Sinn, of Maple Lane,
Injured and Car Is Wrecked
In Crash on S. P. Crossing.
George Sinn, Maple Lane farmer.
narrowly escaped death beneath the
wheels ' of a Southern Pacific pas
senger locomotive at 9 o'clock Tues
day morning. Pinned beneath the
wreckage of his automobile, parts of
which were thrown over the entire
crossing at 11th and Railroad avenue
by the impact of the collision with
the train, Sinn himself was only
slightly bruised.
The man was driving down, 11th
street and failed to notice the sem
aphore signal or hear the train, which
was going south. Due to the grade
at that point, the train was going
at a considerable rate of speed. The
force of the Impact turned the auta
completely up side down, hurled, the
radiator across the street against the
Buckles building, and completely de
molished the machine, burying the
driver beneath it at the side of the
track.
F. E. and Orph Parker, who were
at work in the Lucke warehouse at
the corner, rushed to the aid of the
man, who was dragged out. Blood
oozed from his nose and cuts on his
neck and back. He was taken to the
offices of Drs- Melssne rand Hausler,
where it "was found that he was only
bruised and that the injuries were
not serious.
Thl8 is the first accident on. record
at this point. Years ago, when the
sidewalk extended over the property
where the warehouse now stands,
Mrs. Sam Roake was struck and kill
ed by a passenger train. At the rail
road crossing on 10th street a farmer
and his two horses were ground be
neath the wheels of a passenger train.
This accident occurred some time ago
before a watchman was placed at the
crossing.
Civil War Veteran
Is Hale and Hearty
Despite Age of 81
Although he wa9 struck in the
shoulder by a bullet from the enemy
camp during a skirmish of the Civil
war, which severed the strap of his
canister, William Mazingo, prominent
pioneer resident of the Wilhoit coun
try is still hale and hearty. He will
celebrate his 81st birthday anniver
sary next April. Mazingo, whose 160
acre farm is located one and one-half
miles from Wilhoit, is In Oregon City
for a week's visit with relatives and
comrades of the Civil war who are
members of Meade post No. 2, G. A. R.
of which Mazingo. is a member.
Mazingo served under Sherman and
Grant. Among the engagements he
participated in were the battles of
Shiloh, Gettysburg, Siege of Vicks-
burg. He was also in engagements
at Jackson, Miss., Matchie river and
other places. when answering his
country's call he was not quite 20
years of age. Following the war he
married Mary Elizabeth Inman, in
1866.
Mazingo says: "During our" married
life- (and I have lived to be over 80
years), my wife and I have never had
to call a doctor. The only time a
doctor was in the home was when the
babies arrived, and niy wife has lived
to enjoy her 78th birthday. There is
no doubt but that a doctor would
starve to death if they depended upon
people like us." The veteran Is proud
of his family, which consists of his
wife and children William Henry
Mazingo, of Sand Point, Idaho; Andy
Mazingo, who resides on the old home
place and assists his father to farm;
Mrs. Kate Thomas, who lives about
2 1-2 miles from the old home, and
Mrs. Jeanette Thomas, residing in the
Scott Mills country- There are 14
grandchildren also to brighten the life j
of the pioneer.
Mr. Mazingo and his family came
to Clackamas county 47 years ago
from Knox county, Missouri, and since
that time resided in that section. The
entire 160 acres is enclosed in sub
stantial fence, and the owner prides
himself in having a home in the
west.

To generalize, St. Nicholas has an
important place in the lives of young
peopl by the way it develops and cul
tivates taste in literature, art, and
music, by its stimulation of interest
in 'world events and natural science;
by the encouragemnt it gives the boys
and girls in creative work. Just one
series of articles running through the
issues of 1922, The Workshop of the
Mind, wag of much value. The price

We and our parents wer raised on it;
bread and milk and The Youth's Com

we insist upon whole-wheat bread,

the same departments and arrange

the whole family. Its intent is help

and its stories have youthful interest
and enthusiasm. On the whole it in
spires to worthy living.
Such special papers as Boy's Life,
The Boys' Scout Magazine tare not in-1
eluded in this general list. The Bible
school papers of today contain ex
cellent material. .No- longer are they
the insipid, "preachy" papers destin
ed to be connected with Sunday, and
unconnected with the other six days
of the week. Though elevating in
character, and religious in atmo
sphere, they are alive and natural and
show how real-seeming iboys and girls
harmonize their everyday problems
with their Christian principles They
are worth the slight trouble of sav

fastening in books of ten or fifteen
copies. You likely will find that your
boys and girls appreciate this conven

Shall we not, then, resolve that the
new year will bring regularly to our

S20,000 Is Stolen
In Bold Chloroform
Robbery in Chicago
CHICAGO, Dec. 26. A baffling bur
glary, in which a man, his wife and
two maids were chloroformed and
'their home robbed of $20,000 in money
and jewels, was reported to the au-
thorities Monday. No clue was found
by detectives working on the case.
Harry Schaaf, wealth piano dealer,
was the victim of what the authorities
claim was the boldest "chloroform"
burglary in Chicago. t
According to his statement to de
tectives, the family retired shortly
after midnight Sunday. He and his
wife occupied the same room. Two
maid 9 were sleeping in the rear of
the house. .
When he awoke it was neaVly noon,
Schaaf said. He felt ill. He roused
his wife. She was so ill she could
not leave her bed. The room was
filled with the odor of chloroform.
The maids were called. They, too,
were in a stupor.
The rooms of the home were in
disorder. Mrs. Schaafs platinum dia
mond bar pin, her rings and other
articles of jewelry were missing. A
sum of money also was missing.
The burglars are believed to have
entered the house through a window
and left through the street door.
The modern woman fears on breebe,
the wind may whistle 'round her
knees; her ankles do not mind the
air, but how she does arrange her
hair! If Mother Eve were only here,
she'd wear her fig leaf on her ear.

"MORE AND BETTER FRUIT"
A new discovery Nature's way of
production greatly improved.
The fruit buds mature and pro
duce much larger and more whole
some fruit. Extremely large cherries
and they do not fall. Bear in mind
that fully fifty per cent of our cher
ries fall before maturity. This may
be saved, except for weather condi
tions, the first year by the application
of Morehouse s Orchard Invigor
ant," applied by expert horticulturists.
All fruit made to bring forth an abund-
ance, as the "Invigorant" feeds the
fruit bearing buds. The serious bleed
ing, as well as Bacterial Gummosis,
in the cherry, soon overcome, thru the
perfect circulation of the sap. Roses
and all the flower kingdom made to
respond with brighter tints, all cer
ials, vegetables, forced into heavy
production. Practical pruning, spray
ing, budding and grafting done in
proper season. All sprays have the
invigorant added free. "The wilder
ness and the dry land shall be glad,
and the desert shall rejoice and blos
som as the rose." Write or call for
information.
