It is a play which conveys an important lesson and warning to negligent husbands, whether intentionally so or unintentionally. A young wife left to herself will run into danger and mav fall a prey to an adventurer. In “ Blind Husbands" the hus band in the case, loved his wife devotedly, but he was too tired from his exacting duties as a famous surgeon, to devote him self to her a^d show her those attentions which women crave. The scene is laid amid the Tyro lean Alps in Switzerland, and the villain is an Austrian officer whose pastimes are wine and women. He soon sized up the situation and laid siege to the neglected wife. The result might have been her undoing but for tunately the husband’s eyes are opened in time and all ends hap pily except for the Austrian offi cer, who meets his just deserts. The admission price will be 35 and 15 cents. December 15th is the last day for the payment of the fourth installment of the income and excess profits taxes due this year. To avoid penalty, the tax must be in the offices of the Col lectors of Internal Revenue or branch offices by midnight of that date. Ken Bartlett leaves Monday for Seattle where he has accept ed a position with A. G. Becker & Co., Commercial Paper brok ers. He will work for a while in the office until he becomes familiar with the business and then go out on the road. His territory will comprise the state of Washington and possibly part of Oregon. His many friends will wish him success and hope he will do as well in it as he has done so far in his career. E stacada , O regon , T hursday , D ecember 9, 1920 Our Esteemed Cotemporary The N ews has a local cotem porary. Fortunately for us it is not a competitive cotemporary, as that might affect our subscrip tion list and advertising patron age. It is entitled the “ Hycada" and is published by the Web- sterian Society of the High School. The present issue is a four page sheet 7x8, typewritten and printed on a manifolding machine. It contains a page of news of the Thanksgiving Day Service at the High School and the clean up bv the school boys, an editorial written in classic style, a page of “sassiety" locals, and one of jokes, some of which are worthy of a place in “ Life." The whole does great credit to its editorial corps under the direction of F. Burns. We hope that some of its members will acquire the taste of journalism and try their hand as “cub" re porters in after years. OBITUARY Died at Viola Saturday, Dec. 4th, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, Harvey H. Mattoon, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Mattoon. He was born at Garfield, Clackamas County, May 18th, 1872, and lived his entire life in this county. He married eighteen years ago Miss Eleanor Austin, who with two children, Amy, aged 15, and Harry, aged 12, are left to mourn a loving husband and father. Besides these are also four broth ers aud two sisters. Arthur and John of Viola, Frank and Robert of Oregon City, Mrs. Edna Brown of Albany and Mrs. Eva Brown of St. John’s. The funeral was conducted at the Viola church by Rev. A. Demoy, and burial in the Viola cemeterv, where he was laid to rest beside his brother Burt, who passed away a few years ago. The family have the sympathy of all their neighbors and friends. Chris Johnson of George, brought in Wednesday, a hog which weighed 500 pounds dressed, and sold it to the Esta cada Meat Market. The ani mal was a thoroughbred Poland- China. “ The Shepherd Of The Hills ” None of Harold Bell Wright's books has attained greater popu larity than his “Shepherd of the Hills." To our mind this is his best and far superior to and healthier in tone than his later stories, such as “ In the Eyes of the World." Manager Linn has secured a ten-reel film which portrays it and will run it this evening. This will be a treat and the price of admission only 35 and 15 cents. There will be two runs beginning promptly at 7. as it takes two and a half hours to make each run. Fruit Growers to Elect During the past year, Clacka mas county has been represented on the board of the Oregon Growers Co-operative Association by C. A. Jacques of Garfield. Members of the Association are now holding a- primary election for directors and this election will close Friday Dec. 17. After the primary choice is made there will be the annual election to be held in January, when 21 direct ors are chosen. Nearly all members of the As sociation in Clackamas Co. are in the Estacada section except a few in the western half of the county and Scott’s Mills.

As he would say. he is 74 years young, for a man is as old as he feels and except for some rheumatic aches in damp weather, he feels quite fit. He received from his daugh ter as a birthday present, a fine fishing outfit, which h« will use this winter, as he is an ardent disciple of Isaac Walton. Income Tax It appears that some taxpay ers believe that they have ten days grace on the fourth install ment of the income and excess profits taxes due December 15th. Such a provision was contained in the 1917 Revenue Act, but was removed by the Revenue Act of 1918. No extension can be granted under the law. We are glad to report that the Rev. J. F. Dunlop is rapidly im proving, and his hand healing up in good shape. SCHOOL MEETING TONIGHT TO CONSIDER ANNUAL BUDGET.
