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."

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.

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

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

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
