New Serial For
Our Readers
Every One In the County Will Want
to Read This Interesting and
Popular Story.
Beginning next week this paper
will present Its readers with one
of the st of tn; late BeTa series.
and throbbing with human Interest.
A gifted writer has thus described
this serial:
"Led by a chap who has blood in
his eyes, a crowd of men decide, that
the only fitting end for Cameo Kir
by is sudden death. He may be
shot, niav be lvnched. but there's
hardly any chance that he is going
to escape alive.
He knows the chances of his get
I Ling away are mighty slim one
chance In a hundred but he de
cides to take that chance. He does
And for about three chapters the
reader is kept hustling down the
lines to see how it turns wit.
"Another esca;:e comes along, and
that one is trea'ed with a new turn.
It brings 'General' a boy who loves
yarns of good and bad princes, In
to the story.
"The General' wants to know
whether Cameo Kirby, who has
climbed into a window and met the
General for the first time. Is a good
or bad prince. Cameo decides he is
a bit of both. This is something
new o the bov. The boy leads
jth way into the love story, and It
j a pretty love ory that adds the
; 'heart Interest' to the atory of the
i Mississippi gambler's life.
"It's rather hard on the reader
' putting 'Continued' at a score of
. points iH 'Cameo Kirby,' but why
! do newspapers run serial stories?
1 To keep the reader's Interest alive in
the paper. That's the only reason,
i o the reader must take his or
jh-T medicine and wait for the
! next day or next week's paper,
i "Again, that makes a serial story
of real value the kind that forces
, your reader to get the next Issue."

ELGIN SUNDAY
ENTERPRISE FANS WILL BE
GIVEN CHANCE'TO SEE NEXT
BIG GAME.
Next Sunday the local fans will be
given an opportunity to see the next
big league game between Elgin and
Enterppriee, excursion rates of one
and a third fare for the round trip
being granted all who go. The regu-
ar morning train will carry the ex
cursionists to Elgin, and a special
train will retum with them In the
evening.
Expect Big Crowd.
A big crowd Is expected to take
advantage of the low rate and En
terprise fans should, as they doubt
less will, attend ii a body. Elgin
did herself proud In the large num
ber of persons who attended the
game here last Sunday. And al-
hough there were over two hundred
Klgin people here, It Is not too much
co expect that a greater number
than that .will attend the game at
Elgin, the coming Sunday.
Enterprise, moreover, has high
Uopes of taking- the game from Elgin
in fact. Enterprise U pTetty well
satisfied that her team wiU do so.
Ys some of the fansput It, it's a
2inch that thi3 will te done. Per-
laps 300 excursionists from here
will not be too big an estimate of
he attendance there and the "moral
jupport" of the many fans means
.nuch to any team.
Wallowa Valley
Strawberry Best
jVhat the Hood River Apple) Is to
Hood River Our Strawberry
is To Ua.
It may not be at present gener
Uly suspected, but Wallowa valley
:an grow the best strawberries on
:arth.
This Is a big statement. It Is
rfven, however, advisedly, and the
.Vallowa county enthusiast will not
jack down from It. AVhat the Hood
Itiver apple has been and is to the
:io d River district, the Wallowa val
ey strawberry can be to Wallowa
alley. All that is needed is for
nore persons to raise strawberries
lere, advertise them after forming
i strawberry growers' association,
md keep them on hte market ex
lusively as Wallowa Valley straw
jerries. The fame ,wlll come. l"he
vorld's strawberry market will pa
tently wait for the Vallowa valley
jerry, because it is just a good deal
he best strawberry that can be rais
;d anywhere.
A resident of Enterprise had an
experience ,with the Wallowa valley
itrawberry which thoroughly tested
its quality. He placed about a bush
el of the berries, fresh picked, in a
ub and left them over night. The
lext day the fruit was cared for.
.Vhen taken from the tub, there was
lot a particle of juice from the ber
ries In the tub.' All the berries' were
red ripe, not half green, but they re

WHY NOT JOIN THE
SOCIALIST PARTY
Hundreds who will read this call
themselves Socia7Lst but are not
aiembers of the Socialist party.
They hope to see Socialism come.
They have learned' that only through
the victory of the workers can re
lief come to the workers. They
know that between the workers and
the enjoyment of the fruits of their
labor lies the private ownership of
the instruments of labor.
Knowing these things, wanting
what Socialism will bring, and rea
lizing that Socialism can come only
through political action, and even
granting that the only party that
stands for these things is the So
cialist party they still remain out
side the organization.
Many of these men and women are
members, of unions. As such they
are very bitter against the person
who reaps fhn benefits, brought by
the union but refuses to share Its
burdens. The same argument applies
to those Socialist who refuse to
unite with (the Socialist party. That
party built up Socialist sentiment,
circulated Socialist books, eetab
lished Socialist papers and maintain
ed them under terrible difficulties.
It has carried on a tireless, organ
ized campaign for years until now
tained all th'r Jiii.e and flavor and
remained firm. Such a strawberry
would ship anywhere, after being
picked red rip . and its superiority"
over the average strawberry Is thus
Instantly seen.
What we need to do Is o raise all
the Wallowa valley oirawbrries p'is-.
slbie, organize a Wallowa alley
Sfawberry Crowe s' association, and
then advertise tham to the utmost
limit, in such en event, it would
not be but a few seasons when the
Wallowa valley strawberry would be
known all over the world, and the top
notch prices could be had for them.
Our whole valley could be devoted
to raising the Wallowa Valley straw
berry, and then not begin to supply
the demand.

vegetables, SaturJay. bl
