I88UKD EVER V THURSDAY PUBLISHING CO. If successful running is wh.U is wanted some one should nomi nate a Bolsheviki ticket in Wash ington County. Trotsky went into Russia to put the Slavs on the back walk, and it looks as though he is mak ing them trotski. Did you ever think what n thunder of a small chance an ar my louse would have wrnding his way over the whiskerli bodies of Trotski and Lenine. No wonder they are non-military. C. C. Chapman, the Charlie Chaplin of Oregon politics, wants Gus Moser beaten for the govern orship. Chapman has lots of sympathy from the -other candi dates, but Gus is still fighting the paving trust and expects to make the boys a run for the money, and first honors. Human nature is a peculiar thing. Many times you, yourself, have felt that you would rather pay one man a dollar for a cer tain article than to get it from the alternative for half that price. This holds as well with aewspapers, and, this being true, you are bound to hear complaints from the boob who imagines lie la slighted. And all this accounts tor various tales of woe emanat ing now and then from pinheads who think they are "wisenheim-ers." frank: Associated With the Franklin Touring Car for 15 Years We-are not telliug you anything "new" about the Franklin Touring Car. . With the Franklin, Thrit is far from being a present-day fad; it has been a scientific fact for 15 years. Franklin Touring Car weighs 2280 scientifically put-together pounds minus the care, trouble and expense of 177 complicated water cooling parts. Which mainly accounts for the Franklin having established every worth-while efficiency and thrift records among fine cars. And you'll not find the Franklin owner restricting his touring, for he owns a car of utility, constructed fundamentally to operate on a Thrift basis. "Claims" for thrift have had their day. Necessity demands facts. A Franklin Touring Car is on our floor and the facts are in black and white, where we can show. We'll be pleased to demonstrate both if you call. PETERSON BROTHERS The entertainment given at Johnson's school house Saturday evening, bv South Tualatin Aux iliary, for Red Cross benefit, was well attended, regardless of in clement weather. An address on War Work was given bv Miss lioswell, of Hillsboro, and very much appreciated. Another spec ial feature of the program was the children's violin orchestra of the Grable school. Congratul:i Hons are due both children and instructor. Vocal numbers given by different ones were splendid, as were readings and exercises bv children and grown-ups. En thusiasm of the Red Cross work was in evidence throughout the entire evening. Mrs. Susan Vansbrough,nged 77 venrs, and well known near Sewell Station, on the Oregon Electric, where she lived sever al years ago, died in Clackamas County, March 8, 1918. She leaves a husband and 3 children to mourn her loss. One daugh ter, Mrs. H. E. Allen, resides at Newton, another, Louise, lives at home, and the other, Mrs. Lucy Smith, resides at Coburg, Mont. Mrs. Wansbrough was an exem plary woman, and had' many friends here. Ole Olson, of below Be-.vcr-ton- was in town Tuesday. He lives near the Golf course at Ral eigh, and one day last Summer his neighbors say that he missed a hen, which was a valuable lay er. He found her down near his onion land, in the brush, and she was patiently trying to hatch out two golf balls that had been lost through too much strength on the part of an enthusiast. F. L.Brown, of Laurel, was in the city Saturday. In common with all Laurelites, he is waiting for the weather to settle so the rock road work can begin. ' John Siegrist, of near Helve tia, was a city visitor Tuesday, and while in town called on the Argus. I AIR-COOLED THRIFT CIRCUIT COURT The case of State versus Adolph Schmidt, charged with pointing a firearm at Peter Horchcrs, near Sherwood, last Summer, ended by a verdict of guilty. The de feudant was given ten daws to enter a plea for a new trial. The ease attracted much attention owing to the neighborhood prom nence of both parties. Manv witnesses were examined and there was much difference of opinion as to pointing of the gun at or toward. 1 he law was passed years ago when Senator Huston was iu the legislature not a short time no, as stated last week. S. Alexander plwulcd guilty to stealing 17 skunk hides from I' rank Greener. He was given l: months in the county jail and pa rolcd on paving the costs. lie must report monthlv. V, P. Williamson, clyirged with non-support, pleaded guilty Sentence was deterred so lie could arrange to pay his wifo if 10 monthly. The grand jury reported two true bills. Bernard Meltebeke, charged with a statutory offense, pleaded guilty and was paroled during good behavior. If the girl iu the ease does not object the court intimated that he must marry her or the parole will be revoked. It. l'oster, who stole barbed wire from Scott, of Patton Viil lev, pleaded guiltv to simple lar ceny, and on payment of costs gets parole. Herman Ilenki' same charge, pleaded not guilt,. and the ease is still pending. Eslie Doughty was granted a divorce from I.eora Doughtv. SOME INSURANCE Washington, 1).
