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.

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. Draft Lottery Comes Saturday Washington, June 25. — The draft lottery for newly registered 21-year-old men will be conducted •at the senate office building at 9 o’clock Friday morning, Secretary of War Baker announced today.
