CHEMICAL ENGINE FUND GROWING RAPIDLY DUT MORE MONEY NEEDEO Thia week several have been circulating the petitions for the One-in-Two Hundred Movement and one and all report great and gratifying .success. The fires of last Saturday evening, although thought to be the work of an incendiary, have never-the-less convinced people that a chemical engine is very badly needed and the only thing that we should stop at now. With what is now in the treasury of the Vol- unteer Eire Department it is thought that enough can be raised in this manner to at least make the first payment on the engine and it is just possible that the engine now being used by the Kern Park department can be secured for at least half the original purchase price of a new one and it has not been used long. At Kern Park they have come to the realization that they too need l>etter equipment and have made preparations for installing an up-to-date list of equipment. So it behooves us to be up and stirring and stop at nothing un­ til we secure it. If you have not already signed the list of public benefactors do so at once. You will not only become a public benefactor but a part owner in the equipment of the fire department and so help as­ sist them in saving yours and other people’s property from de­ struction by fire. And as we said last week, don’t forget the danger that the 800 school childien are daily being placed in by fire. There is ab­ solutely no fire protection at the school house whatever. According to manager Johnson the Ar*t game of the season will be played here Sunday when the fast little second teem hooks up with Portland Collegian* on the local lot. TI m * second team will play league bail this year liaving entered the A. A W. league and this game is just for the sake of practice—a sort of a preliminary as it were. Tl>e team ha* secured the services of one of the fastest amateur pitcher* we have ever witnessed and we predict for him a great future. Come out and see him in atdion —it will be well worth your while. I EORMER GRESHAM MAN IS KILLED Meets Death in Automobile Accident in California— Well Known Here.

The hill, one of the steepest in the county, was made much worse by today's rain. Metzger bad no more than st -rted when he lost control. Striving to come to a stop, he ran up a bank 20 feet high. The heavy car turned upside down and buried him beneath it. Mrs. Metzger saw tbe acci­ dent, wbteh ov-curred half a mile from the nearest house. Mr. Metzger’s death was instantaneous.

Thomas Cogan In "The Haven of Health.” published In 1583. discusses the no breakfast question at consider­ able length "Touching breakfaste*. whether or no they are to be used. It may be some question, beenuse they are not mentioned in Waler and other ancleut authors of Physicke. neither are they appointed by order of the universities, but only two meals of the day spoken of. which be dinner and supper. But the temperature of this our country Is such that 1 think It good for Englishmen not to be long fasting. Yet some may better bide without than t’others. Children and young men until they came to the age of thirty-five may not be long fasting without Inconvenience. Men of mid­ dle age—that Is. from thirty-five to forty-nine—may better beare It. Old men. being not decreplte— that Is. from fifty to seventy-may best of aU abide fasting, but after seventy years they are to be dieted as children.”—London Chronicle.
