Recently we have decided to Extend Credits Only 3 0 Days.
In m ak
ing this change we have carefully considerd the question from all
points and believe it the best for us and for our customers.
Even though a customer is perfectly good pay, unless we have some regular specified time for payment of
his account, we do not know what to count on and hence have to borrow the money to handle the bills of
goods we buy.
The generous patronage previously given us, we appreciate.
W e want you to con
tinue it, and We Want new customers also, and We shall make it Worth your while to
trade with us.

Maximums Elect Officers
The Maximum class of the
Methodist
Episcopal
Sunday
school at Forest Grove was par
tially organized Oct. 1907. A
little less than two ' ears later
the ciass charter was granted by
“ The Board o f the Methodist
Episcopal church” and “ The In
ternational Sunday School Asso
ciation.”
When the charter was received
there were forty members of the
class. Mrs. Aggie Ginn Gould
was at that time teacher of the
class and remained teacher until
the last Conference at Eugene
saw fit to move Rev. Gould and
wife to another field of labor,
Mrs, Gould was loved by all
those who came into her class,
and it is with a feeling of sadness
when the class must bid farewell
to their teacher.
This class has been very active
not only in church work but also
in social affairs and along many
other lines. When the church
was built the class put two win
dows, which cost $50 in their
class room.
Then they pledged themselves
to pay $100 more on the general
church
debt.
Most o f these
young people are members of the
Epworth League which also put
in a window costing $75 and their
pledge o f $100, besides about $100
paid on the new bell.
Aside
from these pledges, the members
individually gave over $1000
toward the new building.
An axiom o f the class is,
“ Once a Maximum always a
Maximum” and all members who
leave the class are kept in touch
with the class and a large map
in the class room indicates the
place where they reside.
Since the organization o f the
class in 1909 there have been 214
members registered and 59 c f
these have been married during
membership.
During the four years there
has been but one death, that of
DeWitt L. Perry, Oct. 7th, 19l2.
The last meeting of the class
beh re Mi s. Gould leaves was
held in the par ors of the M. E.
church Monday evening Oct. 6th.
The following officers were elec
ted for the coming year, presi
dent, Ralph Clark, vice-president
Max Reeher, secretary, Clara
Wagner, treasurer, Clara Sage,
librarian, Albert Kirkwood.
All left wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Gould a prosperous and success
ful year in their new work.
‘ ‘Ran Rah” For the event
which is neither a reception nor
a banquet, not a party and not a
dance, there has been no appro

an informal genuine good time.

with Pacific students and to find

appropriate.

By most clever charades, the
domesiec science department
presented their menu for six
course dinner. After ice cream
and cake had been served to eveu
