Methodist Recital
Very Enjoyable
The organ recital and song ser
vice at the M. E. church last Fri
day evening proved one of the
most enjoyable events of recent
months.
Mr. Riley, a professional or
ganist of Portland, played the
new o r g a n a n d a chorus of
eighteen voices, le d by Mrs.
George G. Paterson and Thomas
E. Laacs, rendered the oratorio
“The Daughter of Jairus.” The
ffre at the planing mill broke out
just as the concert was well under
way and took a part of the aud
ience, but those who remained re
port that they were given a
musical treat.
No admission was charged, but
a silver offering was made by the
audience. The new organ is a
good one and the members of the
choir will, no doubt, be encour
aged to greater efforts by reason
of its installation.
Save Your Waste and
Help Win the War
The American Red Cross so
ciety is establishing d e p o t s
throughout the United States for
I the collection of material that is
often carted to the waste dumps
and the Portland depot is asking
other Oregon towns to begin sav-
, ing this waste, which will later be
: collected and put to a patriotic
; use. Following is a list of mater
ials that can be used and will be
cheerfully accepted:

(chairman), Dan Pierce and R.
VV. Reder.
Mr. Colwell assured the officers
that the 1918 Chautauqua will be
the best the company has ever
sent to this city and he urges that
ticket-se lers make this fact known
and also inform the public that a
strong sentiment of patriotism
runs through the music and lec
tures of the progrm. President
Wilson has so high a regard for
the Chautauqua platform as a
promoter of patriotism that he
has asked the Eilison-White peo-
to tell the people the story of
the European war, which they are
doing.
Persons who have signed for
tickets should call on Miss Corl,
at the First National Bank, and
secure their allotment, as the
first in the field stands the best
chance of selling.
Herb Walrath, who sold his
electrical business in this city a
year ago, arrived a few days since
from Nebraska and visited Forest
Grove friends today.
Mrs. Clarence Hanley; sister to
the late Mrs Henry Fogel, yester
day took the little Fogel baby to
her home in Portland.
Playing a Lone Hand
Because his brother, Edward,
has gone to war, Tony Sohler has
sold his interest in the firm of
Wiles & Sohler, Chevrolet dis
tributors, to his late partner, Joe
A. Wiles, and Joe is carrying on
the business with hired help.
Tony has gone to Banks to look
after the garage and auto sales
business formerly conducted by
his brother.
Mr. Wiles still retains the Chev
rolet agency f o r Washington,
Yamhill and Columbia counties.
Write Cheerful Letters
Only cheerful letters from home
to the boys overseas are the kind
to send, according to numerous
Y. M C. A. war work secretaries.
A gloomy letter, they assert,
lowers morale and does real harm.
