inscrutable were the ways o f provi­
dence in removing in the full prime of
life such sterling citizens and perma­
nent taxpayers, or how an apprecia­
tive public ought to chip in for a mon­
ument for each o f them. It seems to
have been Joab’s custom to soft-soap
his victims before he killed them, not
afterward. Not so the Portland news­
paper with the'country press. Last
fall it shook its sword in plain view,
frowned horribly, called them grafters
and not till then smote them in the
fifth rib. Joab at least had the cour­
age of his, convictions. He never, like
the Portland newspaper, implied, the
least sorrow for his foul deeds.
“ It is observed that several other
newspapers reject the late genlte over­
tures o f the Portland evening paper,
among them the Hillsboro Indepen­
dent and the Medford Mail-Tribune.
As encouragement to study the too-
often neglected scriptures we now
propose that all engage in a careful
search for a closer biblical compari­
son than the redoubtable yet treacher­
ous Joab.”
Turned Down a Million
The Merriman Baptist Church of
Ranger, Texas, although consisting of
only twenty-nine members is con­
fronted by or most unique problem. It
derives a big income from oil wells
drilled on its lands; and is now fight­
ing hard to keep from receiving a mil­
lion dollars. That is what it is offer­
ed for the lease o f its cemetery for
oil purposes, and some of the mem­
bers want to fake it, but the majority
are emphatic in refusing it. In view
of the fact that the oil on its land will
soon be exhausted by wells drilled
around the edge of the cemetery, H
seems a short-sighted policy to refuse
the million, especially aa a very small
part of it would buy less desirable
ground for a new cemetery and pro­
vide for the removal o f those laid
away in the old one.
That they
would make no objection to the
change is certain.
High School Party
The sixteenth, birthday o f Samuel
Arnold offered occasion for a very de­
lightful surprise party given him by
the Junior Class o f the High School
on Friday night.
With their arms
loaded with "oats” sixteen boys and
girls met at the school and from there
want to the Arnold home.
The evening was spent in playing
and in singing songs around a
comp fire. Early in the evening a
lovely luncheon was served by the
girls, and at the same time the but­
ton and penny in the birthday cake
foretold the unhappy lot o f Fred Hgr-
locker and the brilliant future of
Samuel Arnold.
About eleven-thirty the jolly crowd
departed, hoping that Samuel would
have another birthday which they
might celebrate as Seniors.
The
students present on the occasion
were: Pauline Chase, Effie Floten, Ida
Oerding, Marjorie Hazard, Helen
Sherwood, Maxine McGilvery, Chrys-
tal Lafferty, Frances Medley, Londy
Church, William Oerding, Fred Har-
locker, Lowell
Simpson,
