The dsmonstratlon train party baa had In many ways an eventful day. In ths first place ths Interest at Culver and Metolius has bsea phenomenal, some thing almost beyond description, for the "show-ms" spirit haa been aver prominent.

Those who went out to see the whest lands are just as much amsxed, so It Is a happy party tonight- Then, after the lectures, ws had a famous dinner one long to be remembered at the Cul ver House. The dinner was given by the Culver Commercial Club. The thanks of the party, are not only due to that organisation, but to the hostess. Mrs. W. P. Myers. A vote of thanks was unsnlmously tendered Mrs. Meyers for the splendid way shs served us. Surely there ars 40 lass chickens In ths Culver neighborhood than there were this morning. Surely the Culver peo pls are entitled to mors than a vote of thanks for ths way they treated ua At Metolius we were also given a good reception by about every farmer within driving distance, and nearly all of tha cltlxens of ths town. In ths de pot building was a fine lunch, free to all. served by the Greater Metolius flub, and who, pray, are the members' Why, ths splendid women of Metolius. Not to be outdone by the Commercial Club, they have a club of their own, and they served to all comers this splendid lunch. But after all Is said, the greatest feature of ths meetings hss been the Intsrest shown by those whom the trip was planned to help. That Is ths main reason why Dr. Wlthycombe and his corps and R. B. Miller and his assocl atss are now so Jubilant. A word about tha towns ws have visited yesterday and today. Bend, Redmond. Culver and Metolius. They ars all doing splendidly. Since I wss here lsst May they have all Improved wonderfully. Many fins brick blocks have been built and business seems good In all of them.

HOME CURE FOR RHEUMATISM Do not waste time nor take chances of becoming a cripple or helpless sufferer from Rheumatism by trying to cure the disease with external ap plications alone. Such treatment sometimes gives 'relief from that severe pain, or may reduce tha inflammation of a swollen joint or muscle, but the effect cannot be mora than temporary. Each day the cause is allowed to remain in the system. Rheumatism gets a firmer hold on Its victim. Purify your blood of tha inflammatory uric acid and then you will cure the disease permanently. The system will respond more quickly and surely to S. S. S. than any other treatment. This great blood purifier possesses the penetrating qualities necessary to drive out every trace of urate matter from the circulation and build the blood up to a nourishing; and healthful condition.
