Beginning next week this paper will present its readers with one of the best of the late serial stries. It is alive and bristling with inter est, crowded with dramatic climaxes, 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 la sudden death. He may be shot, may be lynched, ' but there's hardly any chance that he Is going to escape alive. "He knows the chances of hi get ting away are mightyi 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 out. "Another escare comes along, and that one is treated .with a new turn. It brings 'General' a bo who Iovob 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, la a good or bad prince. Cameo decides he is a bit of both. . This is something new to the boy. The boy leads th-- way Into the love story, and it a ' pretty love :ory that add the 'heart interest' to the story of the Mississippi gambler's life. "It's rather hard on the Teader putting 'Continued' at a score of points in 'Cameo Klrby,' but why do newspapers run serial stories? To keep the reader's Interest alive in the paper. That's the only treason. ,cto the reader must take his or h'V medicine and wait for the next day or next week's paper. ' "Again, that makes a serial story of real value the kind that forces your reader to get the next Issue."

Next Sunday the local fans wirf be given an opportunity to see the next big league game between Elgin and Enterpprise, excursion rates of one and a third fare for the round trip being granted all who go. The regu lar morning train will carry the ex cursionists to Elgin, and a special train will return .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 la a body. Elgin did herself proud In the large num ber of persons who attended the game here last Sunday. And al liough there were over two hundred Elgin people heret it is not too much to expect that a greater numbeT than that .will attend the game at Elgin, the coming Sunday. Enterprise, moreover, has high hopes of taking" the game from Elgin in fact. Enterprise is pretty well jatisfied that her team will do so. As some of the fansput it, it's a cinch that thla will fce done. Per haps 300 excursionists! from here will 'not be too big an estimate of he attendance there and the, "moral jupport" of the many fans means aiuch to any team. - . Wallowa Valley Strawberry Best A' hat the Hood River Apple) .la to Hood River Our Strajwbeprry is To Us. It may not be at present gener ally suspected, but Wallowa valley ian- grow the best strawberries on aarth. This Is a big statement. It Is ;lven, however, advisedly, and the vVallowa county enthusiast will not jack down from It. What the Hood River apple has' been and Is to the do d River district, the Wallowa val- ey strawberry can be to Wallowa alley. All that 13 needed is for .nore persons' to raise strawberries !iere, advertise them after forming i strawberry growers' association, ind keep them on hie. market ex clusively as . Wallowa Valley straw jerries. . The fame will come. The world's strawberry marLet will pa tently wait for the Wallowa valley rry, because It is Just a good deal ,he best strawberry that can be rais, jd anywhere. A resident of Enterprise had an 3xperience .with the Wallowa valley ftrawberry which thoroughly . tested Its quality. He placed about a bush il of the berries, fresh picked, In a :ub and left them over night. The text day the fruit was cared for. vVhen 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 EXCURSION Socialist Party, of Amei ica Column ,.

WHY NOT JOIN THE SOCIALIST PARTY Hundreds who will read this call .hemselves Socialists but are not member of the Socialist party. They hope to see Socialism come. They nave tearnel 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 tlKse" things, ,wantlng hat 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 stilt remain out side the organisation. Many of theae men and women are member of unions. As such they are very bitter against the person who reaps he benefit brought by the union but refuses to share Its burdens. The same argument applies to those Socialists who refuse to unite with the Socialist party. That party built . up Socialist sentiment, circulated Socialist books, estab lished Socialist papers and maintain ed them under terrible difficulties. It has carried on a tireless, organ ised campaign for years until now tained all the'r juice and flavor and remained firm. Such a strawberry would ship anywhere, after being picked red rip , and its superiority over- the average stra,wberry is thus instantly seen. s What we need to do Is ta ralsal all the Wallowa valley strawberries pos sible, organize a Wallowa- Valley Strawberry Growers' association, and then advertise them to the utmost limit. In such an event, it would not be but a few seasons when the Wallowa valley strawberry would be known all over the world, and the top aotch prices could be had for them. Our whole valley could be devoted to raising the Wallowa valley straw berry, and then not begin to Bupply the demand.' - , Watch Uie E. M. & M. for fresh vegetables, Saturday.
