B in e r TH URSDAY, DECEMBER 4 , 1913 Don’t forget the date o f the poultry show, December 16-17- 18-19. A peanut famine is said to be on but the condition o f the side walks these mornings don’t in dicate it. The Oregon commission is figuring on shipping Oregon soil to San Francisco with which to re surface the grounds about the Oregon building where native Oregon flowers and shrubs are to be planted. In order to be sure to get the best in the state, Yamhill soil will be selected o f course. Advertisers for the holiday, Many conveniences are these trade will do well to get their days being added to the homes copy in early in the week in order, o f farmers and small home own t o give time for handling it to ers outside o f the towns and the best advantage. cities, such as were unheard of a The date for the opening of the few years ago. One o f the most Yamhill County Poultry Show important to be mentioned is in Newberg is onlv twelve days private water systems that make ahead. It is going to be a fine it possible to carry water to any «h ow of poultry. Don’ t forget part of the residence, adding com fort and convenience to the whole that. household, and especially mak Prepare for the worst, but ing a great saving in labor to smile all the time. Word comes the women folk, on whom the from the State Tax Commission burden o f the home falls heavily a t Salem that the state tax levy enough in most instances. will be 5 mills, which is 3.55 high er than the levy last year. A “ Thirty Years In Oregon” club was formed at Amity recent ly, when a big feast was spread and an interesting program was given. Not many years hence those who are now eligible for membership in clubs o f this character will be the pioneers of Oregon. The Aurora Observer «peaks of the new $85,000 bridge at New berg as “ connecting the Polk «uid Marion county banks o f the Willamette.” Our Polk county neighbors would no doubt ob There is a feeling on the part of the managers of the poultry show that the annual exhibits made in Newberg have not been patronized as they should be by the people of Newberg. It re quires the sacrifice o f a lot of time on the part of the officials, and the expenditure o f consider able money to hold a successful poultry show, and when the paid admissions are limited, it shows a lack of interest and ap preciation that is discouraging, to say the least. The poultry industry is one o f our valuable assets, and these annual shows serve to stimulate it. Conse- quently the business men o f New berg should encourage the man agement in every way possible. They should attend the poultry show regularly and encourage their patrons to g o and see for themselves the different breeds o f fowls. It all helps, and it don’t cost much effort. It seems that the Graphic made a good guess in predicting that the effort o f the saloon men to thwart the will o f the majority, by resortiog to the courts, would react against them and cause an increase in the “ dry” vote. At the Salem city election held Monday the amendment to the city charter to prevent the licensing o f saloons was carried by a majority o f 900, this being an increase o f nearly 500 over the “ dry” majority given a month ago in that city. A drunken husband exhibiting himself in a passenger c o a c h makes a pitiful and disgusting spectacle, and when husband and wife are both seen in this condition, as was witnessed on the Newberg local out from Portland one evening last week, the limit seems to have been reached.

W . C. T. U. Last week’s meeting was held at Mrs. C. R. Chapin’s, and was a special prayer service for the restoration o f the health o f our state president, and that the conference of the delegates from the various churches, held in Portland last Monday to consid er the question o f a dry campaign for Oregon in 1914 might be decided in favor o f same, because upon their decision depended the union of the different temperance forces o f the state. We are glad to note a favor able decision. The W. C. T. U. desires to ask the public to con sider the consistency of making the Christmas presents remind ers, in a more definite way than has been customary in the past, of the one whose birth we cele brate at that time. Notwithstanding the whole in stitution of Christmas celebra tions is in honor of Christ, yet we must admit that it is far too often only the lusts for material delights which are gratified, and the effort to make all of our gifts such as would really please Him is lost sight of. May we not make a more consistent effort to honor Him on that day. The next meeting will be the regular business session and will be held at Mrs. G. 0 .
