Display advertisements for publication in the P ress must be in this office not later than Tues­ day evening to insure appearance in current issue Entered at the post office at Forest Grove, Ore. In this issue o f the Press E. B. Sappington comes back at the members o f the school board in a lengthy letter. He has hand­ ed them a Roland for their Oliv­ er, and honors are even. It is pleasing to note that the injunc­ tion suit against the board has been dismissed, all those direct­ ly concerned have come to a har- m o n i o u s understanding, the bonds will be sold and work on the new school building will not be delayed. Thus by injecting a little of the give-and-take spirit the atmosphere has been cleared and the wheels o f progress are not blocked. It is well. as mail matter of the second class. That letter to your old mother at home. Don’ t forget it. She is waiting every day for the post­ man to turn in at the gate. The warm days o f the past week have caused the small boy to become restive, and anxious parents will find him down at the “ old swimin hole.” The agricultural fair to be held here next fall should be exten­ sively advertised, and should re­ ceive the support of every man in Washington county. Show people o f other states what we can produce and they will settle down and make their home with us. Don’ t forget to write that let­ ter to your friend in the east and tell him about Forest Grove. He will probably not believe you, but when he gets here he will be able to see for himself, and if he is from Missouri he may be shown. Attend the annual school meet- ing to be held at the Lincoln school building June 16. There is no more important day in the year. Let every one entitled to vote attend, look into school con­ ditions, and plan for the coming year. Only by co-operation of the patrons o f the district can all that is for the best interests of the school be accomplished. A man has just been sentenc­ ed to be hanged in one of Ore­ gon’s Circuit courts, and his at­ torney says he may not be able to appeal to a higher court, as the man is without money to prosecute his case. If If there is a probability, through any merits which his case may have, that the higher courts will reverse the decision o f the trial court, a lack of money should not act as a bar to an appeal. The people o f Oregon, at the last state election, held that he who is guilty o£ first degree murder should hang. This is the will of the people, and must stand until the law is changed, but as long as a man has a right to appeal, his life should not be forfeited to a want o f money. The wealthy man, being able to appeal, may save his life. The poor man, if his case has merit, should be al lowed the same chance at the ex­ pense o f the state. some food if raised with CRESCENT baking POWDER neat to A n y T o w n . The writer has lived in Forest Grove for twenty-three years, and is acquainted with nine- tenths of the people o f the west­ ern section o f the county. A great many o f these people are native born, but there are hun­ dreds among them who have come from other sections, nearly every state in the Union being represented in our population. In conversations with many of the residents o f this part of Washington county who have come here to make their homes, we have been told that for pro­ ductiveness o f soil, climate and enjoyable living conditions gen­ erally, Washington county is the peer o f any section in the United States. We believe them. That is why we boost for this part of Oregon. <**■» Mr A pretty but quiet wedding occured at the Methodist parson­ age in this city, when Miss Freda Loving became the bride o f Mr. John Wilson, the solemn words which made the happy couple one being spoken by Rev. Hiram Gould. Mrs. Wilson is the daughter o f Mr. and Mrs. James Loving, o f Gales Creek. She was born and raised in the Gales Creek section, and is a favorite among the younger people of that locality. Mr. Wil­ son is also a native o f Gales Creek, being the son o f Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Wilson. The young couple will make their future home in Eastern Oregon, and a legion o f friends follow them with good wishes into their new life. Mrs. W. W. McEldowney de­ lightfully entertained the A fter­ noon Bridge Club at her home last Thursday afternoon, re­ freshments being served on the spacious lawn. A well kept, well planned lawn, with a few shrubs and flowers, repays In a large measure for the work expeuded lu Its care. A trim, orderly lawn and yard give one n feeling o f self respect and satisfaction that helps to keep the dally work from tiecoming the daily grind. Then, too, where one resident of a block beautifies Ills surroundings others follow the good example, and In this way the movement spreads, and the entire town Is made attractive. Amt attractive towns are what home seekers amt manufacturers are looking for these days. A scythe and mower, n hoe and rake, can transform an unkempt yard Into « smooth green lawn. A bed o f red geraniums adds lienuty and is easily cared for. Bright spots o f solid color add more to the appearance o f a lawn than haphazard mixtures o f flowers. Golden glow Is a good lawn shrub. It Is hardy and easily grown. It blooms late In the fall, when most flowers are gone. It grows very tall and Is bright yellow. Salvia, a shrub hearing bril­ liant red flowers, Is showy and very satisfactory. Dahlias are acceptable for lawn use and can he had tn a large variety of colors. For the small beds nastur­ tiums and sweet peas are excellent The latter are better used as a screen or boundary and can tie planted against the fence which marks the rear of the lawn. The lawn should lie well fenced to keep chickens away from the grass. If not they rutn It tn a short time. They have no business near the house.

The closing o f school will also cause a quietness to settle over the town until next fall.
