If riot, you may get into trouble, and ignor ance of the law is no excuse, even if the advertising of said ordinance was so arranged that you didn’t see it on the side of a telephone pole. Ask the Record er for a copy of it. The peculiar style of walking now done by the people of Esta cada, consisting of a modified form of the fox-trot, with a long glide and jump attached, is noth ing that should be laughed at, but is caused by ihe daily prac tice of dodging open holes in the city’s sidewalks and treading lightly on the loose ends of planks. f Have you had any of the out put or product of the Estacada Cheesery yet? It looks like cheese, acts like cheese and tastes a little better than any other cheese you ever set your teeth in. When it comes to responding, this community is getting to be the original responder, not only in taking the lead in cash dona tions for the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Belgian Relief and other worthy causes, but in responding with over 4500 pounds of milk for the Estacada Cheesery, twen ty-four hours after it started operations. It is just such responding as this, that assures this community a steady, wholesome growth and is putting the word Estacada tin the map. Isn't it about time a few Good Roads Days were being staged in this community? As a means of “ cementing bet ter relations.“ (as the Live Wires would say.) there is nothing that will do more good than these get- togel her and-work-together holi days. with tin* business man and farmer toiling side by side, with the promise of a tine picnic din ner at noon and the hopes of building a lasting piece of good road. The News’ comment against the alsdishment of smoking at the last and former meetings of the Farmers’ & Merchants' Club lias naturally brought forth some criticism from the nOn-smokers. The News, being a “ Fire Brand” , naturally smokes a little and its editor, being addicted to the nicotine habit personally, can only see one, smoke-bedimmed side of the question, especially when under the influence of the vile weed. The history ot commercial or ganizations in this community has been one of fits and starts and if tobacco is taken away from the meetings, there will be several fits and many starts for home. The present system of semi monthly dinners has proven a success and is largely responsible for the good attendance but, as a good smoke after a meal is al most a necessity to the habitual devotee, the abolishment of the practise is bound to keep many good men away from the meet ings. And the pity of it s that the chronic smoker is in misery, es pecially after a meal, if he can not be allowed his regular shot of dope. And as effective work cannot be obtained from a man in misery, it is better policy to let the slaves of Dame Nicotine get themselves well under the influence of the narcotic before passing the hat or asking for their cooperation. The prohibition at the last meeting was, of course, inspiied through courtesy to the ladies, the majority of whom had tobac co fumed husbands or fathers present and had a vote of those ladies been taken, it is unlikely that a one would have objected to allowing the men to enjoy their usual vice. As effective work in the Farm ers’ & Merchants’ Club is de pendent upon the active cooper ation and work of as many men as possible and as the big major ity are tobacco users, the prohi bition of this custom will end in hurting the organization. Youngsters Dispose O f 1 2 0 0 Sandw iches 1200 sandwiches, 10 gallons of milk, 400 cookies. 8 big cakes, about 100 lbs. of salad, bunches and bunches of radishes, a box of oranges and a bunch of bana nas, represents but a portion of the cargo which was stored in the “ tummies” of the four score children from the Portland In dustrial Center, who were the guests of the women’s organiza tions of this community in Esta cada Park last Saturday. The affair went off as sm<x)th- ly as a Sunday School picnic, with the women of this commun ity ably assisting Mrs. W. Givens of Estacada who was in charge of the entertainment and dinner. In all languages from Yiddish to Chinese and with a smattering of negro accent, the praises of the good ladies of Estacada and vicinity are this week being her- W e Strive To Please Ps Our prices are kept as low’ as cl can be made and our service the ! ! best we know how to give. » > \ i ; 1 i !}) ! * > We can get cheaper merchan dise but we do not sacrificing quality but try “ The • believe in for quantity— to live up to our motto Best Is None To Good Fo r Yo u ’ * L.
