Development League work. At
that time the purposes and plans
o f the League lor work were
rather fully outlined and ex
plained. They need not be dis
cussed in detail here. At that
meeting subscriptions were tak
en at so much per month tor tbe
year, for the double purpose of
aiding the County organization
in advertising Yamhill County in
general, and furnishing means of
exploiting the resources o f our
tow n and Chehalem Valley. At
the same time a committee was
appointed to solicit for further
subscriptions among our busi
ness men and citizens generally.
But tbe matter was allowed
to rest after that meeting, the
subscriptions which were already
made not even being collected,
for the reason principally that
there seemed to be no one who
could spare the time to shoulder
the responsibility o f pushing and
directing the work in this vicin

Yes, it takes a public spirited

the kind which insures a rosy fu

When the secretary or the com

By all means get on our roll of

T o the G raphic :
Let me say a few words in de
fense o f a stranger in your part
o f the county, Mrs. M. P. Willis
Baker. I have known her tor a
great many years and she is held
in the highest esteem by all who
personally know her and it was
only after having suffered from
abuse from a brutal husband
that she called on the law for
protection and assistance. She
is in poor health, being almost a
nervous wreck and not able to
defend herself or do any hard
work, and is still suffering from
injuries inflicted by Baker. If
Baker will bring a legal marriage
certificate showing that he was
married to the mother o f his
child he will get great credit for
it. His course should prove a
good warning to women not to
marry away from home.
