Back In 1S1G J. V. B. Butler es.
tablished a general store at Itickre
all. About the same time a water
power grist mill was built&nd the
Idea seems to have been to found a
town there. But roads at that time
were very scarce and In the winter
nearly impassable. However, the
grist mill prospered and many a four
and six-horse load of Crusader brand
flour was sold and distributed
throughout the Willamette valley.
The store also prospered and filled
a real need In the community. This
store changed hands many times un
til It was finally acquired by Peter
Cook in 1899. Mr. Cook was not only
a fine merchant, but a great sports
man and raiejhorse fancier. His fa
miliar face, nas to be seen at nearly
all nearby race tracks during t.he
racing season.
When old man time gathered Mr.
Cook in some two years ago, his
many friends and acquaintances felt
their loss very keenly.
At present the store formerly own
ed by Mr. Cook and known as the
Rickreall. General store la owned and
operated by J. O. Price. Mr. Price Is
an up-to-date merchant and was
quick to see the- advantages to be
gained by becoming a member of the
United Purity Stores organisation.
Mr. Price is a native Oregon i an and
has lived in the Rickreall section for
20 years or more.
Located at Highway Junction
Being located at the intersection
of the West Side Pacific highway and
the Salem-Dallas highway, Rickreall
is very well known by travelers and
tourists who use these roads and
stop for the tempting lunches and
soft drinks served by the Black Bird
Inn and McKee's lunch room.
Most of the above Information was
given to United Purity News by Mr.
Burch, an old time and very congen
ial resident oi RickrealL

vealed. Mrs. Sophia Sader, landlady of h
rooming house, beard groans ema
nating from the room and told her
husband, who called the police to lib
erate the girl. She, however, told
them to mind their own business jtnd
get out, asserting her sweetie could
make her a prisoner tf he wanted to
and In any fashion he chose.
Next day the girl left her trunk
with the Saders as security for two
Weeks' back room rent and with the
, money Miles might have had to pay
out for that Item they tripped to the

Whom He Loved.
Paris. Georges I'lemencea u, who has
wreeked many cabinets but won the
country jjrufi! ink in the war, is bit
terly Cons- Ions of a great loneliness
In the evening of his life.
When his sister died recently,
friends gathered at his Paris home
l imd "tie of them asked :
"ll.-w many 'ol'Uial visits do you
receive? How many ministers, how
many m.-irshuls call on you?'
The Tiger begun,- In what all
thought an evasive way:
"I Uep little; old men sleep little.
Ofien at two or three o'clock In the
morning I awake. I would be bored
in bed. awake, so 1 get up. I come
out here, with difficulty, for some
times my legs go back on me, and
here. In the silence, I talk with the
dead"
"It Is during those night hours,"
went on the aged man. vj ho so often
governed Frafre. "alone with ghosts,
dear ghosts, that 1 have' written my
memories of Claude Monet. Ah !
There come many of the dead, at
night. Into this room.
"That Is my destiny. I see them
go, one after another, those I love, all
of them.
Then, facing the one who was to
anxious to know who remembered him.
the Tiger snapped out:.
"I am alone, monsieur, alone."
Russians Clamp Lid
on Old-Time Music
Washington. D. C The tlwroiigh
fteas with which Soviet Itussia la
attempting to supplant utterly every
part of the old order which
existed before the revolution-Is un
limited according to the reports
brought oack by travelers who have
been Investigating the Bolshevik ex
periment It Is the fixttl Intent of the
Soviet lenders to remake Itussia so
completely as to leave not a memory
of the old days of the czar and the
nobility, or, at least, not a pleasant
memory. Knowing - that Intangible
as well as tangible things have a d!
rect bearing upon the thoughts and
aspirations of a people, the Russian
officials have gone so far as to cen
sor music and to encourage a whole
uew school of music.
Andrew Fletcher of Sal toon, a
Scotch philosopher. Is 'the author of
the famous observation: '"Let me
write the songs of a nation and I
care not who makes the laws." The
Soviet leaders apparently have every
confidence In that statement and
have effected a complete revolution
In music In the hist decade. Just as
they have changed the social order,
remade the government, altered all
practice concerning property owner
ship and generally set up a new Rus
sia. With as much care as was devoted
to the dissemination of propaganda
of a political and economic nature,
the Soviet government created a
special department charged with the
revolutionizing of music.

I turned his pockets inside out
It was our washing day;
I found a multitude of things,
A curious array:
I found a piece of colored glass,
A spool, a knife, a nail,
A bottle full of bumble bees,
A frog, a hook, a snail,
Some cherry pits, an apple core,
A piece of broken spring,
A top, a screw, a tack or two,
A ball of colored string.
I placed them on the shelf with care,
The treasures of my boy;
I knew too soon such things as these
Would fail to bring him joy.
Too soon he'd hear the wander call
And journey far away.
Oh. let me treasure things like these,
His treasures, while I may.

"Column With a Curse"
Augusta, Ga. Sentiment which for
18 years has allowed "the column
with a curse" to stand In the middle
of a sidewalk, won 'out recently when
a paving program made practicable
the removal of the queer relic of a
tornado's fury.
The column, once the pillar of the
city market house, has stood at
r.road and Center streets ever since
a tornado hit Augusta in 1873. Old
citizens say that an ttlnerant mln
ister, claiming the gift of prophecy,
predicted that the old market house
would be destroyed the day after his
sermon, lie declared that hut one of
the hig pillars supporting the market
hcuse would be left standing and de
clared that any attempt to move the
pillar would be fatal; that the per
son who tried It would be struck by
lijrhtnlng.
As it happened, a tornado hit this
town the next day and only one pillar
of the market house was left stand
ing. Some years ago city officials
said the pillar would have to lie de
stroyed to permit certain street re'
pairs. A large number of workmen
carried the pillar alwuf 50 feet.' There
was an explosion nnd they dropped It.
And today the pillar stands where
the workmen dropped It when some
practical joker exploded a firecracker
Art Is Used by Pastor
to Stress His Sermons
Springdale, I'a. Rev. Charles W.
Baker, Jr., pastor of St. Mark's Lu

PREHISTORIC MEN
CREMATED DEAD
Scientists Unearth Bone Ashes
in New Mexico.
Minneapolis, Minn. Evidence that
prehistoric dwellers on the North
American continent were the first of
mankind to cremate the dead has been
unearthed by an expedition of tie
Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
The evidence Is based chiefly upon
a crumbly material found In the sands
of the Mimbres valley In New Mexico,
thought to have been pulverized corn,
which an analysis showed was bone
ash.
The culture of the Mimbres valley
Is believed to have flourished .2,000
years ago.
Objects and materials found cer
tainly are the first evidence of crema
tion in that valley, and possibly any
where, says Dr. Albert E. Jenks, lead
er of the expedition. Doctor Jenks
believes Mimbres culture ceased to
extet about COO or 700 A. I).
Near Hurley. N. M., the searchers
unearthed a village of 150 rooms, or
huts. Some yielded sitting, or full
length skeletons with bowls over their
heads. But in one was found a jar
of an unrecognized material.
"We tasted It, said Doctor Jenks.
"One member of the party declared
It was pulverized blue corn, common
in that vicinity." Laboratory tests re
vealed It to be bone ash.
Another find deemed Important was
a copper bell, use of which previously
had not been known. A bracelet of Y.i
shells was found on the arm of the
skeleton of a ferrule.
There were fireplaces and wall bases
of adobe and stone. Some Luts were
constructed of wood.
The culture, according to anthro
pologists, disappeared when Mimbres
villages were destroyed, although how
they were destroyed has not been
learned. So far as Is known the cul
ture never took root elsewhere.

Appertaining to Finance
MOST of us are familiar with the
stgry of the improvident persou
who, on being warned by the bead of
his bank that he must make exten
sive deposits Immediately In order
that his drawtng account might bal
ance, made answer as follows:
"Say, look here I I'm getting good
and tired of having you fellows both
ering me about these petty financial
details. If you begin pestering me
again I'll be domed If I don't take my
overdraft out of your bank nnd trans
fer it to the Second .National, across
the street."
There's a companion story for this,
not quite so old :
A gentleman In a southern town,
well known ns brilliant hut careless,
was persistent In his applications gr
loans and extremely tardy shout re
paying them. He had Induced a local
bank to let him have forty dollars,
and gave his note therefor.
At the end of each . day period he
Invariably appeared and asked that
t he note be renewed: nnd as there
was nothing else to do. tUe bank al
ways renewed it.
One day ho appeared and said to
he cashier: "
Td like to renew that paper of
mine you have here."
"Certainly." replied the cashier; "I'll
fix it up for you."
The cashier made the proper prep
arations fo- the renewal, and then
lie said :
"Say, the directors were talking
nbout this paper of yours the other
day. They decided that they wouldn't
charge you Interest on It any longer."
"That's very considerate of them,
was the reply. "Ira mighty glad to
hear It. I certainly am under obliga
tions to them."
Yes," continued the cashier, "we're
not going to charge you Interest, we're
going to charge you storage!"
