WORK ON FARM HOME
FOR KIDDIES STARTS SOON
Corvallis Construction of the first
cottages for the children's farm home
of the Women's Christian Temperance
union on the former Ashbar farm
north of Corvallis will begin within
SO days, according to the plans an
nounced by Ada Wallace Unruh, who
heads the committee in charge of the
financial campaign.
The first two units of the home
which eventually will care for 150
homeless and dependent children will
be completed, it is hoped, before the
end of September. Each of the units
will house 20 children and will be put
into use as soon as it is completed.
The complete financing arrange
ments have been put into the hands
of a committee of business men, and
the entire plan will be worked out by
them on a business basis. The minis
terial association of Portland has also
appointed a special committee to aid
the union in establishing the home.
The home is primarily for Protes
tant orphans and dependent children
About Battery
Life Insurance
The wording of a battery life
insurance policy may sound
pretty good, but you can be sure
it isn't a bit better than the com
pany back of it.
The great strength of Willard
Battery insurance is in the repu
tation of the Willard Storage
Battery Company for building
the right kind of product, and
then backing that product by
the right kind of policies, and
the right sort of an organization.
Our service is the Willard
Standard in every particular
and that means caring for all
makes of batteries alike and
giving all owners the same
prompt courteous service.

without means of support. The farm
on 'which it will be built was pur
chased several months ago for the
children's farm at a cost of $49,000.
It consists of 245 acres and is three
and one-half miles northwest of Corvallis.-
It is the intention of the Wom
en's Christian Temperance union to
put up the unit cottages 'as fast as
funds can be obtained for their con
struction. Sufficient funds have al
ready been donated for the first two
cottages, but it is pointed out that
these will not nearly satisfy the pres
ent needs of such a home as is plan
ned, and that construction of more
units must necessarily go forward as
fast as posible.
In peaking of the home Mrs. Un
ruh said: "Every possible institution
al feature must be eliminated and a
group of real homes must be estab
lished, where real home life and love
may be given unfortunate Protestant
children. Children that go out in the
world under the serious handicap of
having no father must be given a
foothold and equipped educationally
to become independent. To this end
they must have af least the prelimi
nary vocational training which can
be obtained at Oregon Agricultural
college, and this the members of the
faculty, including the president, have
promised to provide.
Every child receiving care m our
new home will be taught the funda
mental law of the land, that they
may become good citizens and Ameri
cans, and the law of God, as set
forth in the Bible, to make them bet
ter citizens better men and women.
This does not in the least imply that
any sectarian doctrine will be taught
gust old-fashioned moral training
with Bible knowledge.
"The home will, of course, receive
and care for every child without re
gard to creed or color, but as the
Catholic church has made such abund
ant provisions for the children of that
faith, it is especially to make the
same provision for Protestant child
ren as the Catholics have made for
their own."
Grandma Dole celebrated her 76th
birthday on July 4th with a birthday
party on the shady lawn at the home
of her son, E. E. Dole. There was
a pleasant afternoon, delicious, cool
rerfreshments, and plenty of fire
crackers on the side, tho' Mrs. Dole
has a suspicion that possibly the
latter may not have been olely in
her honor.

Monmouth's chautauqua , was
splendid success this year and the bic
tent , was, comfortably filled practie
ally at every performance. . During
the last three. days there was a, very
heavy attendance, many persons com
ing from districts . tidjncent to , Mon
mouth. While most of the programs
were good, the Maids of Dundee, six
Scotch lassies, and the Maurice Drew
players made the biggest hits and
drew capacity houses. The vivacious
Scotch girls gave two clever pro
grams which included every sort of
music from the piano to accordion
and saxaphone, with dances and read
ings and vocal solos for variety.
They put their program over with
vim and vivacity that captivates tho
audience. There was not a dull mo
ment in "Cappy Ricks," which was
given in a masterly way by Maurice
Drew and his company Saturday
evening.
The lectures were uniformly good.
The lecture of Solomon Ramalingen,
a native of India, on Saturday after
noon aroused great interest. Sun
day Loseff's Russian Orchestral
quartet gave two splendid program
The chautauqua was closed Sunday
evening by C. L. Burgdurfer, who en
tertained the soldiers overseas during
the war, and he gave one of the best
numerous lectures ever heard here.
f inancially the chautauqua was a
success, lhe total receipts amonted
to $1121.75 which left a margin after
all expenses were paid. Howard
Morlan acted as local manager and
was highly complimented by the
Cadmean supeiintendent for the man
ner in which it was handled.
So well satisfied were the guaran
tors that they signed a contract with
the Cadmean company for another
chautauqua in 1923.
According- to the registrar's figures
the enrollment at the normal for the
summer session has reached 720. Of
this number about 40 are men. About
half of the students will leave at the
close of the first six weeks, July 28.
The training- schools at Monmouth
and Independence will close at this
time. The total enrollment for the
year is 1120.
J. O. Andrus tendered his resig
nation as city marshal to the city
council at the regular meeting Tues

yet been appointed.

Services at the M. E. church next

Simple precautions would avert
most of the railroad crossing horrors.
Here are a few rules, which if fol
lowed, would save many lives:
Never approach railroad tracks
that must be crossed at grade, with
out this thought: "Here is the place
where I mus play safe!" Have your
car under control, then you will be
prepared for any emergency. You
know the importance of having good
brakes on your car. Look them over,
from time to time.-
Probably nine out of ten times
there will not be a train near enough
to check your progress over the
tracks. Make no effort to go acroxii,
until, by careful use of both eyes
and ears, you have sized up the situ
ation.
All must agree that a little time
spent in trying to protect life and
limbs is a good invesment. We use
up some time hunting bargains in
stores. Better plan to hold onto the
life you possess. No bargain counter
has another to offer yoik When youf
end comes, you will be a long time
dead.
Maybe, whenyou get near the
railroad tracks, you see a train com-

ing, and the thought comes into your
mind, "I can beat it across!" That
thought is a mere whim. Your Judg
ment is not speaking. In such cf,
wait for your sober second thought.
Remember that a fast train cn
run the quarter mile from tho whist
ling post to the crossing in fifteen
seconds. Do you know just exactly
how far you can make your car go
in one-fourth of a minute? Most of
us fail to do our best in an emer
gency. Do you admire a man who tries to
beat a train over a crowing, wheoW
has hi family or friends In the te
with him, tit-pending upon him
protection? If such a man wen t,
