Baccalaureate Services
The Methodist Church South was
packed last Sunday evening on the oc­
casion of the Bacculaurcate Service
of the High School. The program of
the evening was as follows:
Voluntary—“From the Heart”—A
Jackson Peabody Jr.
Hymn— “Coronation —Congrega­
tion.
Invocation—Rev. H. M. Law.
Anthem—“From Thy Love as a
Father”—Gounod.
High School Chorus.
Scripture Reading—Rev. T. H.
Downs.
—Gaul.
Quintet—“List the Cherubic Host”
Misses June Willey, Ada Downs, Gla­
dys Nosier, Marvel Skeels, Mabel Bay
Sermon—“The Simple Life”—Mr.
John L. Gary.
The Doxology—Congregation.
Benediction—Rev. T. H. Downs.
Mr. Gary is a member of the High
School faculty. On u number of oc­
casions during the past year he has
filled the pulpits of the Coquille
churches and his sermons are always
listened to with interest.
His ad­
dress last Sunday evening was filled
with good thoughts and valuable sug­
gestions well presented. The special
music, which had been prepared under
the direction of Miss Bay, was excep­
tionally fine. Those who heard it are
not surprised that a recent visitor
from the State University pronounced
the Girls’ Glee Club of the Coquille
high school, the best of its kind in the
state.

He won’t have to worry about his sec­

Frank Johnston went out the fore
part of Inst week from the Sixes river
mines.
Mr. Johnston is making his
home at Roseburg. He came up from
ihe state of Sunola. Mexico about a
year ago. He lived in that part of
Mexico about six years. When the
government gets settled down to a
working basis that country will be
good enough for him.
The Brewster Valley Creamery is
turning out 1,000 pounds of butter a
week.
That toy balloon in “Class by It­
self” in the Herald of May 15th, which
gives an episode of Skeels and Nor­
ton’s flour deal is rich reading, and as
Ihe question is asked “what other
man or firm in this county would have
acted in like manner? has as yet re­
ceived no answer. Can any of our
readers give a satisfactory answer to
the query?” That is ea3y. The last
sack of flour I bought at the Farm­
ers’ Union, before the one bought 24th
inst., Mr. Burns said to me “our next
lot of flour costs us 20 cents a sack
more than you are paying for this
sack.” That is the way they do busi­
ness all the time with their entire
;tock. One day when the Farmers’
Union was out of shorts and Skeels
and Norton had in a new stock bought
at an advanced price. Mr. Drane had
shorts on hand bought before the
raise and was selling it for 40 cents a
ack less than Skeels and Norton’s
orice, the same price he sold it at be-
pore the advance.
We know this because my daughter
vent there and bought a sack for 40
•ents less than Skeels and Norton’s
arice. I do not know a store keeper
:n Coquille who does not do the same
thing. It is probably true of the big
majority in the county. Sure Skeels
ind Norton are white men, but they
don’t want to get the idea in their
reads that they are lonesome. I can
tell you more next week, for it may be
that the editor of the Herald has been
educationized and near educationized
and that it will take more than one
lose to get him to see the light.

Huggins Too Old.
Henry Huggins was feeling rath­
er downcast last week because
his last attempt had also fuiled to se­
cure him a position in the U. S. Army.
He was 46 recently and the regular
army held him beyond the age limit
and finally he made application to
join the U. S. Engineering Corps
which is being organized by Kenneth
Hauser and others at Portland. They
wired last week that even the presi­
dent could not get a man who is over
45 enlisted.—Coos Bay Times.

The proper food for one man may
be all_ wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. It
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull or
stupid after eating, they shoull take
