"All that glitters j not gold."
M ii n v a woman and housewife
with more opportunity to use her
advantages has fallen far short
of what F.dith Wcntherford at
tained. Nurtured and taught as

in the tenets of the Advent
Church, she never wavered from
a true allegiance to those princi

character. Her's was a golden
life of true principle.
To die well i a good thing. To

the life of a true, clean woman
and good mother and wife. Hera

Almighty Ood can award her the

FLYING AT FRONT
Frank L. Hay, Supt. of the Great
Northern Railway, out of St.
Paul, in a private letter, says:
"Thank the good Lord the war
is over and we will soon see our
hoy. My son has been flying at
the front since September. He
wrote u from Paris, Nov. 28,
Hint he was well and expected to
he home by the first of the year."
WHERE IS IT?
When a. fellow ' all humped over
I.ike a burnt boot once, so tall,
And his nose is dripping tear
drops As they gather there, and fall
Then we know the weather's
chilling,
And old Winter 's turned the lock
Where, oh ! where' the money
To release that coat from hock?

BADLY SCALDED
Clay Voting, running a traction
engine for a portable sawmill,
was badly scalded one day last
week. His engine went through
a bridge near Cove Orchard,
above the Yamhill line, and when
it landed Ihe engine was on top
of Veiling. The parly with him
wa unable to extricate him until
the steam had practically all es
caped, and as a consequence
lining was badly scalded. No
bones were broken. Young wa
brought down by Dr. Baker, of
Gaston, and turned over to the
care of Dr. R. M. P.rwin. He was
taken to the Washington County
Hospital, where he is having
treatment. The wonder is that
Young was not scalded to death,
and it is still a greater miracle
that he was not crushed.
INTERESTED IN HISTORY
If you are interested in history,
the following excerpt from the
trench committee on I o reign af
fairs to this country, written Oct.
21, 1794, and addressed to the
American Congress, just after
France had gone to a Republic,
might be of interest, considering
the great part France and Ameri
ca, the two great republics of the
world have had in the conflict
just closed :
"Astonished nations, too long
the dupes of perfidious kings and
nobles, will eventually recover
their rights, and the human race
will owe to the American and
French nations their regeneration
and a lasting peace."
After all, a period of 124 years
isn't so much on matters of ideal
is between the French and
Americnn. And note the proph
ecy !

Secretary Writet That Commia-
tion Will Build to Hillsboro
SAYS WORK TO START SOON
Want to Complete Road From
Multnomah Line Here in Season
The State Highway Commission
expects to build to Hillsboro
from the Multnomah line in 1919
and for that purpose has set
aside $149,000. This will cover
the expense cf laying base rock
and putting on the hard surface.
The original press article stated
that 8.1 miles would be built, but
the actual distance is a little over
1 1 miles, and the work can and
will be done inside the above ap
propriation.
Receives a Letter
Judge D. B. Reasoner recently
wrote the Highway Commission
asking them of their intentions,
and received the following letter,
which w ill be a matter of interest
to Washington County:
"Salem, Dec. 17, 1918.
Honorable County Court of
Washington County,
Hillsboro, Ore.
Gentlemen: I am pleased to
advise you of the recent action of
the State Highway Commission
in appropriating from funds
available in 1919 a sufficient sum
to provide for the paving of the
State Highway between Multno
mah County line and Hillsboro,
in vour county.
This appropriation is made
from the $0,000,000 bonding act.
It is probable that construction
work will be started at as early
a date as feasible, in order to
complete this improvement in a
single season.
Respectfully I ours,
State Highway Commission,
By Roy A. Kline, Secretary.
This sets at rest all conjecture
as to whether or not work will
begin this year and nothing short
of failure to see bonds will stop
the improvement. The commis
sion already ha purchasers for
the paper, and it is asserted that
there will be no interference
from the government.
