The train is to leave Newberg at 10 A. M. and re turning leave Portland at 11 P. M. A reduced rate has been given by the Southern Pacific people and tickets for return will be good for three days.

Juvenile Offerings Prepared at Home Range Prom Sewing to Small Contrivances and Inven tion Imitations Made by Boys. Children of the city to the number of 2000 displayed things they made at home in their spare time with their own hands at the Central Library yes terday, and the exhibit, unique In the history of Portland, will continue until November 6. Any doubt as to the ingenuity of Portland children will vanish immedi ately after a visit to the display of the products of childish invention. The juvenile exhibit, which it is hoped to make an annual event, is given under the auspices of the Port land Parent-Teacher Associations and the Congress of Mothers. O. M. Plum mer is general chairman, and the work is divided into divisions. Mrs. A. C. Newton tabulated all the exhibits, and the women in charge of. the sections are as follows: Mrs. L. T.- Newton, doll section: Mr. H Bodiive. sewing: Mrs. F. A. Jackson, electric and mechanical: Mrs. Harry Coleman, trans portation and woodwork: Mrs. J. F. Kelly. miscellaneous; Mrs. Leander Martin, garden ing; Mrs. Phil Bates, arts and crafts; Mrs. Arthur Bohosky, domestic science; Mrs. J. F. Cnapmnn. state exhibit, and Mrs. W. J Hawkins, play department. All Entries Made at Home. The display, interesting in every de tail, is a part of the "back to the home movement that is now being en couraged throughout the country by parents and teachers. Nothing in the whole show, it is said, was made out side of the home, and the little workers had for their chief incentive their own desire for expression. Dr. Anna L. Strong, of the bureau ot labor, Washington, D. C, came to Port land to arouse interest in the work. and she is here to see the exhibit for itself. In 'co-operation with Portland people she was instrumental in. bring ing about the exhibit. Sewing is the biggest section in the display. There are innumerable ar ticles, from doll clothes to table cov ers, that have been made by chlld- sh hands. Ingenuity of small Doys in making aeroplanes, wireless out fits and other intricate things arouses surprise. Exhibit Fills Large Room. There are, moreover, all sorts of elec trical appliances, sailboats and battle ships, hoisting cranes, art works, car pentry, vegetables and garden proa- ucts and a tempting display of cook ery products, ranging from plain bread to the most delicate calces ana pastry. The exhibit is large and fills one large room. , Children from the tiniest worker up to 16 years of age are among the exhibitors. There are no prizes to be given and no competition enters into the display at all it is merely a spontaneous showing by the children of what they can accomplish when they put their minds to the task. Certificates that each little exhibitor has made such a showing will be given. Pets to Parade Saturday. The exhibit will open daily at the library between 2 and 9:30 P. M. There is no charge for admission and it is the hope ot those in charge of the work that parents will visit it and see for themselves what is being accom plished. On Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock there will be a pets' parade at the library. Every child in the tfity who has a pet that can either be carried or led in this parade is invited to come to the Central Library at 1 o clock. The line of march will be about the streets close to the library. If it should rain at that hour, the parade will be postponed. The pag eant of pets will be in charge of Prin cipal Harry Blough, of Portsmouth School, and six other principals. It will, it is said, be highly interesting as an unique event. opinion formally filed by the corpora tion counsel with the Council license committee, holding that saloonkeepers may not keep their places open on Sun- 'PLUG UGLY' IS ABANDONED Stanford's Historic Interclass Fight Is Voted Out of Existence.
