T was certainly . the best of picnics.
It was fbe Saturday of May' 23," and
ws left Portland at 8:30 in the morn
ing' on our way to Multnomah Falls.
There were about 120 of the fourth
term English pupils of the Lincoln
High School, two of the teachers. Miss
Ethel Marsh and Miss Lillian Amos,
nearly 70 friends and guests and, two
little children, Emily May Marsh and
her cousin, Virginia Brooks. Off to
Multnomah FallB on a picnic!
It would have been, perhaps, a rather
disagreeable day for anyone but fourth
term English pupils. , The sun, even
though there were plenty of kodaks
ready to snap, persisted -in remaining
behind a cloud; and so, the. kodaks
snapped without , "it. '-
And, as to amusements! What with
a piano downstairs, plenty of good
music, and lots of boys and girls, could
anyone more desire? Then, too, there
were lots o'J games to play, on the deck
or in one of the cabins.-, In the after
noon there- was la - fine hike to the
Falls, about a quarter of a. mile, and
another, to Oneonta . Gorge- nearly - a
mile in the opposite direction. Shakes
peare's. "As You.Llke. lt" was. well pro
duced by some-of the boys and girls
for another amusement. As . it was
to "be played late .in the afternoon,
the. general spirit of it pervaded the
atmosphere on the deck., in the cabin,
upstairs, downstairs and even in; the
engine-room most -of -the day.
At dinner, especially, did- the spirit
prevail. Oner might hear a pitiful plea
of, "More, I - prithee, more!" or the
thouprhtful and gracious advice to
"Forbear .and eat no more."' The din
ner 'was, in fact,, a splendid one. Just
right for boys . and girls. . Five bl,
tables were - well-spread; and it was
eaten in regular relays of about 60 at
time. - Sandwiches, salads, pickles.
cakes, bananas, .oranges- peanuts,
cookies and what not.' Everything just
right. Some of -the girls had placed the
things tastily and deliclously forth.
with the help of Raymond JefTcott and
Harold Altken, so that no matter how
hungry one was. they grew still hun
grier at- the sight. And after dinner.
during the entire afternoon, there was
still plenty to eat.
We had one of the best of crews.
It wag a crew-that most certainly un
derstood boys and girls: for. one of
them was always nearby with a tray of
sandwiches and some kind of. fruit.
ready to give to everyone, .everywhere.
We certainly appreciated that.
But, as to "As You Like It!" It
was played during the return trip, and
wonderfully successful. Ralph Hoe
ber made a splendid Orlando,' Russel
Sewall a good Oliver, Walter Tannen-
see a great Touchstone, and Robert
Cosgriff a fine Jaques. Dorothy Gold
smith and Elise Feldman made a re
markable Rosalind and Celia. And so
the play ended. - -

AMONG the 40 lines of work car-
ried on by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is the depart
ment of (lower mission. . .
The first flower mlsyon on record in
the United States so far as is known
was in Boston, in 1S69. It was a news
paper report of this work that caught
the eye of Miss Fannie Casseday, ol
Louisville, Ky., and. though she was
an invalid, she founded the flower mis
sion movement, assisted by Mrs. Will
iam Warner.
Four years later the work 'was in
corporated, into the plan of the W. C.
T. U. and "through its pioneer efforts
has developed into a world-wide move
ment. . It is a significant fact that the
opening of the Rose Festival is the
flower mission red-letter day of the W.
C. T. V. It is the anniversary of the
birthday of Jennie Casseday, the
founder.
On June 9, Tuesday, at 9 A. M.. Mrs.
Lctetia Ross, county superintendent,
has asked all flower missioners to meet
her at the state headquarters. 417 Ee
kum building, with their roses. Special
cards- have been--irinted to be attached
to each bouquet. The missioners will
meet incoming trains and present these
roses with their greeting to visitors.
. Although June 9 is the anniversary
and special work is planned, yet the
programme is carried on all during the
year. In the Summer outings are
planned and fresh-air work is done.
The philanthropy includes work for
civic Improvement, the planting of
trees on Arbor day, day nurseries, rest
cottages, in fact hundreds of ways to
show friendliness to those who need
friends.
Unique devices are used in this min
istry, the hospital hankerchief, with its
message in one earner, and the Bower
mission fan carry comfort and sun
shine.
Jennie Casseday established In
firmary for women and a rest cottage
for working girls. In Oregon this is
the relief department of the W. C. T. U,
Frances Wlllard once uid "The flow
er mission means the Golden Rule in
beautiful action, shedding on the path
way of life the gentle fragrance of
loving kindness."
"White Queen's Court" is to be given

the Arleta W.C. T. V. Sixty charao

of the fourth County Institute of Yam
hill County. Mrs. Mary D. Russell,

Elizabeth Meyer, ex-county secretary
and secretary of state W. C. T. u. head-
quarters, is president, has secured the
signatures of the schoolboys to the
anti-tobacco pledge, the principal of
the school signing it first.
One of the many interesting features
ot this institute was a talk by Dr.
Young, of McMinnville. Dr. Young said
that physicians are not educated to use
alcohol in their practice, as In former
years. Jt is not found to be necessary'
as a medicine. He said further that,
while the base of tonics has been al

such as syrup made from figs. Prunes
and loganberries are being used ex

When You and I Were Young, Maggie
The old couple who have made the journey of life together, hand in
hand ; who have bowed their heads to the tempest, and bared
them to the sunshine; who have been one through all their joys
and sorrows;
As they sit together tonight alone by the fireside all but one of the
fledglings flown from the home nest what "thoughts too deep
for tears" are theirs! ,
The music and words of this tender old song illustrate beauti
fully its matchless sentiment:
" But to me you re as fair as you were, Maggie,

Levi M. Herrin, who died at his home
near. Salem May 25, was one of the
few- remaining pioneers of 1845. He
crossed the plains with his parents,
John and Docia Hefrin, when a boy
of 10 years, and grew to manhood in
the early days when Oregon was a
territory. Though young in years at
the time ot crossing the plains, Mr.
Herrln's recollections of the journey
were remarkably clear and his stories
of his experiences were interesting.
He was a member of the lost "com
pany, whose guide deserted them 'on
"Meek's cutofr," leaving them to find
their own way through the trackless
wilderness to the Deschutes lliver and
thence to The Dalles.
When a young man Mr. Herrin
hauled produce from Salem to Port
land with a four-horse team, return

During these trips his favorite camp

fallen logs where the Portland post-
