The cham­ ber of commerce and the business men cf the city are looking at the situation in a broad sense \vh*-n they go ahead with this annual event. It is not the particular returns that it may bring to any one in­ dividual or group of individuals in the community, but it is the good that reflects to the city from being on the map as a live and progress­ ive community that does things for the entertainment of its neighbors. It should not be considered as a money-making scheme, but it should be made to pay its way. The Fourth of July in Hillsboro has come to be a homecoming in the leai sense of the word. J'eople come from afar and old neighbors meet old neighbors and old friendships are renewed. It brings the farmers to town for a good time and Hills­ boro is the host. The town that does things is the one in which peo­ ple like to live. There are some who say that we should not hold a celebration this year, but should pass it up and see if it is a good thing. This would but waste the extensive advertising that has resulted from continuous cel­ ebrations and would cause double ef­ fort in following years to build it up. There might be some changes that could be made that would be for the good, but it is a cinch that it is not possible to work them out in the short periods that have been allotted to prepare for this event in the p*st The suggestion that it be put on a permanent basis with a year- around chamber of commerce com­ mittee in charge is a good one and one that should result in beneficial action. E. K. MacManiman made such a decided success of training a chorus for the Memorial services, why not endeavor to add some­ thing in the line of good vocal music to the celebration program? This paper is of the opinion that patriotic holidays should be properly ob> erred. The answer of the state govern­ ment of Florida to the attempt of a mob to rush a jail and lynch an alleged confessed murderer was na­ tional guardsmen with rifles, pistols and machine guns. The guardsmen answered snots from the mob with the result that four members of the mob are dead and others in a ser­ ious condition. Lynching has been too common in the South and action of this kind will surely put a stop to it. Those who have been in Paris feel sorry for Lindbergh for he is where he could have an awfully good time and yet can't because he is such a popular figure that he is continually in the limelight. Mrs. R. W. Weil is Painfully Burned Mrs. R. W. Weil was painfully burned about the hands and arms as the result of a gasoline fire in the kitchen of their apartment. Mrs. Weil was cleaning a dress with gasoline. Mr. Weil said the damage would amount to approximately $500, as the apartment was damaged con­ siderably by smoke. Quick use of chemicals by the fire department prevented greater damage. The fire caused considerable excitement for a time as the Weil apartments are on the second floor of the large de­ partment Btore building. Roads of County Will be Signed A representative was here yes­ terday afternoon from the Oregon State Motor association to confer with the county court about signing the important roads of Washington county. The court agreed to furnish the poles and the association will log the roads and put up the signs. Hargrave Ha* Battery Work Frank Hargrave, one of the best auto electricians in the county, has been placed in charge of the battery and electrical department of Jimmy Lee's Motor-In garage on Third street, between Baseline and Wash­ ington streets. The moving of Lee’s service garage into the Brown build­ ing. the south section of the new building recently constructed by Mohr Brothers for the Browns, Bert C. Shinley and the R. J. Higdon Motor company, is the latest change in automobile row. Hargrave learn­ ed the game under W. N. Harris, who formerly had an electrictl shop here and later a battery service station. ► ► The Qirl Sale of Poppies Very Successful < » in tho Mirror V BO Elizabeth Jordan ►♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦f (£ O Tb* Certwry CotnpuY> WNV iMrvk* (Continued from Last Week) Nof that Bangs failed In any of the outward forms of friendship, but his manner had chanced. He was Increa»’- »'v prSwcnp!«^. When Lau­ rie spoke. Bancs had the effect of coming to him from a lone distance, and even of having one foot extended, as It were, for the return Journey. The two young men breakfasted to­ gether. for the first time In several days; and over their coffee and ciga­ rettes I.aurle confided to hl* friend his new anxiety about Mrs Ordway Bangs at once became human. In­ deed. he showed a degree of solicitude that surprised his friend. It was sud­ denly clear that Rodney was vastly Interested In Louise. He had even ventured to call on her. though Laurie did not yet know this; for the first call was made, as ft happened, on the afternoon of the day when the two young men had Indulged In their first serious quarrel. Bangs, usually the most modest and self-conscious of youths, had abruptly lost hfs shyness under the urge of a need to talk about his chum to some one who would understand. And Louise had understood, quite surpris­ ingly. Recalling the long talk he and she had had. the help she had given him. the plans they had made, Rod­ ney grew very serious. "It's lucky Sonya 's In town.” he said, when this further fact had been revealed. “Let's go over to the hotel and see her right after breakfast. Perhaps we ought to cable to War­ ren. Sonya will know." He spoke »with such studied care­ lessness that Iuiurle flashed a sudden look at him. Under It Bangs flushed to the roots of his burnished pompa­ dour. "Well, well.” murmured Laurie, “this Is Interesting! Odd I didn't no­ tice It before.” Whatever "It” was. he ¡jive Ids whole attention to It now. Leaning forward, be ostentatiously studied Bangs, with an expression at once In­ dulgent and amazed. “A flush on Ills cheek, too." he mn«ed aloud. "Shut up!"

The Auxiliary ordered 760 poppies, and on Saturday tried to get more, but were unable to do so. The sale brought >79.05, every cent of which goes for the comfort and happiness of the disabled service me» of the World war. On Friday and Saturday night, poppies were on sale at the \ enetian theatre, and on Saturday night a program was given in conjunction with the sale. Commander Charles D. Jones of the American Legion gave a short talk, announcing the sale and the purpose for which the money was raised. Miss Eunice Grimsgard recited “In Flanders Field,” and Mrs. V. W. Gardner sang “There is no Death” and “Roses of Picardy,” with Mrs. Flor­ ence Tucker as accompanist. Mrs. Elmer Wohler, Mrs. Charles Jones and Mrs. Henry Sqsbauer were the committee in charge, and they were assisted by Mrs. Robert Cull, Mrs. Tauf Chartieski. Mrs. A. H. Busch and Mrs. Elmer Williams.
