Lewis Rose of Independence, Or., has presented to Her Royal Highness, Princess Mary, Countess of Lascelles, Royal Buckingham Talace, London, England, with a beautiful hand made aiiken yoke aa a wedding gift. This lace was made for Mrs. Rose, a few years ago, by an Oregon old lady (who has been a very successful ex hibitor of her fine work at ma om. State fair) her husband then being employed at the Wigrich ranch. Mrs. Rose has now received two very kmd letters from tne Ernest Thorn, accompanied by Mrs. Thorn, will leave today by car on a trip to Los Angeles. Mr. Thorn will be on a business mission but will take the opportunity of spending a short time wBth old friends in the California country. Mr. Thorn expects to re turn here about April 15th. Stolen from his farm north of Inde pendence last July, Roy Houck has just regained possession of a Ford coupe. It was found at Sedro Wooley, Wash., a little town near the Canadian boundary, and was located through the engine number given when application was made for a li cense to the automobile department i,of the state of Washington. Notifi- Lcation was made to Sheriff John W, Orr, who had caused to be filed with the Washington officials a description of the car shortly after it had been taken . Mr. Houck went to Sedro Wooley, established his claim to ownership,'; the car having passed to an innocent party, and arrived home with it Sun day. While the motor had been mis used to some extent and it was necessary for Mr. Houck to have con siderable repairing done before ven turing to drive it home, otherwise the car had suffered very little. It had been re-tired this spring. The car was stolen from the Houck barn on the night of July 2nd by one Andrew Reed and another man whose first name was Joe. As near as can be ascertained they worked for a time in local hopyards. In order to get the car out of the Houck place without awakening the house hold it was pushed by hand across a large field to a side road. It was driven directly to Sedro Wooley by Reed and he must have literally "burned up the road" for he arrived there the next night. Claiming that while enroute from some point in the midd-'e west in a Dodge car the machine went "fluey" and he traded it for the Ford coupe, Jleed sold the car shortly after his arrival to a man by the name of Nove Woodruff, the price being $450. Reed got married and settled at Sedro Wooley. Accompanied by a deputy fheriff, Houck and Woodruff found no difficulty in locating Reed. It was after dark and he was found at hia home. After he had been told that he was wanted and what for, he left the house with the officer and went out to a waiting car, and while the officer's attention was centered for.a minute on another mat ter, Reed made his escape and so far as Mr. Houck is aware is still at liberty. An attempt was made to change the number of the engine, but it was far from successful, in that it made the number far in excess of a pos sible factory number. Mr. Houck says: "Long ago I had given the car up for a goner, and naturally I am pleased over re gaining possession of it." '.APPEAL FOR HOME FUNDS WILL HE MADE HERE Independence has not raised its full quota for the W. C. T. U. farm project. Mrs, Ada Wallace Unruth is Ktheduled to arrive here today to co-operate with II . Hirschberg in devising plans to raise the necessary amount. Mrs. Unruh will remain Sat urday and possibly Sunday. Much interest is being manifested all over the state in the children's farm home project, which undertakes to care for orphan and dependent chfldren on a true home plan, as op posed to the old "institutional" way. The recent purchase of the farm, near Corvallis, has greatly stimulated this interest. One very important thing, however, is not universally understood. This is the necessity for having the home in actual operation by the midsummer at the very latest. This is for two reasons. First, in order to secure an appropriation from the next State legislature the home must have been established six months previous to the time such appropriation is asked; second, the allotment from the Por land community chest is available for "maintenance only," and cannot be used till the home is functioning. Another payment must be made on the farm very soon in order to get complete possession, and some remod eling will be necessary to make the buildings suitable for use as tempo rary quarters. There is a waiting list of inmates, some of them fairly clamoring for admittance. This ehows that the need of such a home is urgent. WHITE TALKS TO BUSINESS MEN J. S. COOPER RECOGNIZED IN LEGION MEMBERSHIP DRIVE FORMER INDEPENDENCE BOY AT HEAD HEPPNER ELKS Dean T. Goodman, who was born in Independence and spent his boy hood days here, has just been elected exhalted ruler of the Heppner ledge, of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Mr. Godman graduated from the University of Oregon in 1910, lived for several years at Portland and The Dalles, going to Heppner three years ago. The Oregonian of last Sunday tells a very nice story concerning the ac tivity of "Ted" Cooper in American jbeen doing all he could to put the Leg" .on circles in Portland, which vn 1 1 kick" into it Company K Must Be Sup ported if Organization is to Be Continued The annual federai inspection of company K was made Wednesday night by Lieutenant Colonel Dela phane of the C9th infantry, stationed at Vancouver barracks. He was ac companied by Capt Milner of Port land, regimental adjutant Thirty three members of the company ans wered to roll. Company K is not in as vigorous a cond.tion as is necessary for its suc cessful maintenance, and for the pur pose of determining what steps may be necessary to add "pep" to it, Adjutant General George A. White was the guest of honor at a dinner given at the Hotel Beaver Tuesday night. D. E. Fietcher presided and in introducing the head of the Oregon guarfc-men, tribute was paid to his high standing as a man and the ef ficient military work he is doing. In his talk. Adjutant General White emphasized the necessity of the citizen-soldier for the country's use in times of great and sudden stress, and that the present arrangement where by the guard is under joint state and federal regulation is working out very satisfactorily. Referring to company K, he made it plain that if it is to be continued there must be a larger enrollment and an increase in interest, as the attendance at the weekly drills is not satisfactory. He stated frankly that as far as he could ascertain the trouble was not due to the head of the company, as Capt. Groves had be read with interest by his many friends in Independence. It says: During the last month, 154 new members were added to the rolls of Portland post of the American Legion. This was made known last Monday night when the names of the new members were read by Douglas McKay, post adjutant. Glenn Ticer and J. S. Cooper Jr. were the winners of the prizes offered to the men who brought in the most members during the month . They im mediately indorsed the checks that had been made out to them and turned the money to the post for the establishment of a drinking fountain. Cooper has deve!oped into one of the most active workers the post has. Ticer long has been boost;jig for the legion, but to Cooper it is a new prop osition. "All I had was a membership card and a button," declared Cooper a few days ago. "One night my little kiddie was playing around and I asked her what the American Legion was. She replied, 'Daddie, it's a button." "I awakened to the realization that in truth all the legion ever had been ,for me was a button. I started in selling myself to the organization, made a successful job of it and now em out selling it to others." LEVINGTON SUMPTER DIES AT HOME OF DAUGHTER Referring to the field, he stated that he believed that it is ample to maintain a 100 percent organization, and suggested that the business men get behind it by endeavoring to get the young men interested get hem to enlist and then endeavor to keep them interested. The training is beneficial from both a moral and physical standpoint. Mr. White stated that through the efforts of Mr. Fletcher provision has been made for an armory, but before this can be secured it must be demon strated that company K is entitled to it. He tendered the assistance of his office for an enlistment drive. The adjutant general was very at tentively listened to, and there was a feeling on the part of the business men that they will have to get behind the project 'BROTHER JOSIAH" IS ADVANCED ONE DAY It has been found necessary to change the date for the presentation of "Brother Josiah" from April 4th to Apriil 3rd, which comes on Monday. Owing to the departure of William Harris for Medford, two changes have been made in the cast: A. T. Under wood will take the part of the wealthy banker, and Merle Brown becomes a "rising young author." A six piece orchestra has blossomed into existence for the play, with H. H. Hansen being designated as leader. The other members are: Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Wunder, Williard E. Craven, Guy D About This Time of Year ID Levington Sumpter died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. R.

Mr. Sumpter came to Independence in 1889 direct from Missouri and with the exception of about two years spent near Olym pia, Wash., had resided here since fthat time.
