The followers of the curious creed of
the Apostolic Faith, who have been
holding meetings in this city for some

"great signs and wonders" from their
headquarters in neighboring towns,
and by the frenzied exhortation of
wandering preachers that drop in on
their meetings from time to time. As
a result of this, their pilgrimages
between Dallas and Portland have
once more become as frequent as in
the summer when they were at their
best, and their mission on Mill Street
Is being packed nightly with an ever
increasing throng of the, faithful and
of those who are led thither by motives
of curiosity.

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard J. Rempel
Entertain Family and Invited
Friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard J. Rempel
celebrated the 40th anniversary of
their wedding last Thursday. In 1868
they were married in Makut, Island
Craem, Russia, where they lived a few
years. They then emigrated to the
United States and settled in Minnesota.
Nine years later they moved to Red
ding, Cal., and from that place came
to Polk county, where they have lived
11 years. Mr. and Mrs. Rempel are
the parents of 10 children and 14
grandchildren. The worthy couple
have the respect of all who know them.
The guests were: Mr. and Mrs.
Cadle, John Rempel, Mr. and Mrs.
John Diehm, J. H. Rempel, Mr. and
Mrs. G. G. Rempel, Mr. and Mrs. A. G.
Rempel, Misses Helena and Elizabeth
and Master David Rempel, Miss
Elizabeth Friesen, Bernhard Frieson.
J. E. Beezley, secretary of the Polk
County Poultry Raisers' Association,
says that their first Annual Show
given in December, was a success not
only in the fact that created a greater
interest in the breeding of fine fowls
among the farmers of this county, but
also because almost the entire expense
of conducting the show was covered
by the amount collected as entry fees
from those entering their birds in the
exhibits.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but docs it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but It wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts. t
