In its last issue it concluded an editorial paragraph with the assertion: "Like the eleventh juryman, Independence insists upon ita own opinion being correct" This is not the position of Independence now, nor has it ever been. All that Independence is asking ' is that the supreme court be permitted to pass upon interpretations of law, rather than the state highway com' and was so carefully planned that Mrs. Williams was wholly unsus picious until the ladies arrived in a I body, each with a bouquet, which was presented to the honor guest. During the afternoon a pleasing program was rendered, which included; vocal selections by Naomi Hewettj and Gloria Whipp and readings by Alberta Williams.

The Obser ver is well aware of this, but in its strenuous efforts to climb into the political limelight it appears to be willing to try to make Independence the "goat." A trainload of settlers, with Omaha as the starting point, will head this way on the 20th of this month, and the purpose is to give them an op portunity to make a casual inspection of the major portion of Oregon. Stops are to be made at many points with sufficient time in the itinerary to permit auto trips to the country Mrs. William Campbell entertained the Foreign Missionary society last Wednesday afternoon with 15 mem bers present. Aside from the rou tine business, a short program was presented. Mrs. W. H.

It requires real nerve for a berry grower to keep smiling these days. Logans have struck the bottom with a thud which is being quite generally felt, two and one-half cents per pound being the ruling price, with no mar ket for quite a portion of the crop. Fortunately, berry growers, in com mon with other farmers, are optimists and they accept the fruit of the lean years with very little or no repining, And Independence is proud of the record made by Company K, both in point of attendance and in the excel lent work accomplished in camp. Social Jlffairs Miss Ulla Dickinson and Mrs Walter Smith were in McMinnville Wednesday to attend the' wedding of Miss Mildred Jones of that city to Robert Wyatt of Amity. The event was celebrated in the Baptist church, which was made beau tiful with quantities of ferns, Easter lilies and white roses. As the officiating minister and the groom waited at the altar, the wed ding party came slowly up the center isle of the church. The attendants in pink and green organdies, the two bride's maids, the tiny ring bearer, b little 3 year old boy, in white satin and bearing the ring on a cushion of white satin and lace, two little flower girls, who strewed the pathway o f bride with pink sweet peas and for-gr-t-me-nots, and lastly the bride on the arm of her brother, charming in white satin with veil and orange blossoms and carrying a bouquet of lilies of the valley and white roses Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt left imme diately after the ceremony for a wed ding trip by car to Portland, Astoria and Seaside, after which they will be glad to greet their friends at their home near Amity, where the groom has charge of a large ranch. Mrs. Wyatt was a recent graduate of the Normal School and is well known in Independence from whence the good wishes of a host of friends will follow her to her new home. Miss Mina Robinson of Rickreall was hostess last Friday at a "shower" given for Miss Mildred Jones of Mc- Mwnville, whose marriage occurred Wednesday. Recent guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rourke of Oak Point were, Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Kalamazo, Michigan. They are taking a wedding trip by auto, stopping at various places of interest along the route. On Friday last Mrs. Rourke en tertained in honor of the bride. The rooms were prettily decorated with roses and shasta daisies. During the afternoon Mrs. Smith told most en tertainingly of their trip thro the country. Invited guests were: Mes dames Clark, Mattison, Snapp and Carbray. On Friday last, Mrs. W. W. Hill as sisted by Mrs. Albert Williams and Mrs. Harry Whipp, was hostess at a pleasant : party given in honor o f Mrs. A. D. William's, who leaves to morrow for her home in North Dakota after a visit of several months with her son, Albert Williams. The affair was in the nature "of a surprise be Edwin Dole celebrated his tenth birthday with a party at his home Friday afternoon. The time was pleasantly passed with outdoor games and sports A unique feature of the supper, which was served to the youngsters as they were seated around a bonfire m the yard, was, that each guest, before he could have a hot roasted weenie, must whistle, dance or sing, execute some stunt for the entertain ment of the company. No one was willing to give up his weenie and as a result a most surprising vaudeville was presented by the young people. Those sharing in the fun of the after noon were: Ethel Hennigan, Mar garet Eddy, Eva Bullis, Marjorie Plant, Pearl Percival, Melvin Wilson, Carl Pressler, Martin Pressler, Jack Berry and Hallie McKinney. Eclipse was bred by the nuke of Cumberland, a brother of George 111, and afterward became the property of Dennis O'Kelly, who on his death be queathed the animal, along with all his brood mares and other horses, to his brother Philip. For many years Kellpse lived In retirement from the turf, but was In other ways a source of considerable revenue to his owner on account of the tunny visitors who came to see the renowned hero of the race track who was passing his lust days nt Clay mil near Epsom. In those duys It was not the custom to Insure the lives of animals, and the fact that Eclipse was Insured for an enormous sum only made his popu larity the greater. When It became necessary to remove him he was so worn out that a carriage had to be especially constructed to carry him. The secret of his Immense success was revealed by the autopsy, when It was discovered that his heart was of unusual size, as It weighed thirteen pounds. Chicago Journal. In The Churches M.

LOCAL HAPPENJNt 3 In a business letter to the Enterprise Prof. 0. D.

They also went to Valf. fnr f. short visit at the home of R. R. De Armond. They had a fine trip Avith no car trouble of any kind, but wore glad to get home. Mr. Skinner said: "Business conditions through (eastern Oregon and Idaho are decid odly bad, and many of the ranchers are broke, or rather, their liabilities are in exces of their assets. The banks, which have the big share of the loans are continuing to carry them rather than to attempt to realize on them at the present time, with the hope that there may be sufficient improvement in the cattle and sheep industries to enable them to get their money. To force collections now would mean that th banks would have to engage in the stock industry. I visited no place which looks as good to me as Independence." Every minute that a woman spends In worry, weakens the body for Its dully flght for health. It adds age. It causes deep furrows to appear on the forehead. It Injures the digestion and robs life of all pleasures and peace. So If you wish to keep your good looks, don't worry. Work gives incentive, and thus rife and health, to the organs of the body. It strengthens our will, teaches us patience, perseverance ami the cour age to endure. It has been the sal vation of many. The honielv duties that are performed by the house moth er each day, the sweeping, cooking and home caring, nre wholesome du ties which lead to health and strength. But If women allow their dully tasks to fret and worry them, they lose all of the benefit they otherwise would gain. It Is not nlwavs the ac tual worlf that wears out the nerves and temper and ruins the disposition. It Is the spirit in which the work Is done which allows worry to creep In. Detroit News.

This does not refer to hours or daylight Increasing with the advancing year, but to days as timed by the revolution of the earth on Its axis. The earth's power of rotation, nays a writer In the Popular Science Monthly, Is growing weaker and as a result its revolution on Its axl.s Is slowing up. Which means, of course, that the day is lengthening. An epoch must eventually arrive when the day will be equal In length to the year; that Is, to the time It takes for us to revolve about the sun. Then the earth will always turn the same face toward the solar luminary, just as the moon now always turns the same face toward us, and one-half of our planet will have sunshine all the year, while the other half Is in total and permanent darkness. That is. If the sun still is shining. It may become a dim and chilly orb before then.
