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 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."

ELGIN SUNDAY
ENTERPRISE FANS WILL BE
GIVEN CHANCE TO 8EE NEXT
. BIG GAME.
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

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.' - ,
