Publia Auditorium NEWBERG, YAMHILL COUNTY. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1919 BOUT FOR TEN DOLLARS Shortly after arriving in India, before we had a chance to see our ewn station at Buldaoa, Berar, we 'went direct to Mahalbleehwar, a kill station, which la a resort from the fearful heat of the plain* dur ing the hot season, to study the Marathi, language. Mahablaohwar is forty miles from the railroad. We made the trip in a huge motor. Upon arrival, not being acquaint ed with the place, we went to the Blpon Hotel, whl^h as far aa hotels are concerned. Nwas moderate in price. The proprietor gave us a suite of rooms, consisting of one ■mall reception 'h a ll in front, one large sleeping room, and two hath rooms. This being the only thing that he could give us, was at a rate of fourteen rupees per day, or cal culating In gold,,a good $1 per day for our rooms and hoard. This was far more than we could afford. At once we set about making, inquiries about t o n / other place t o * live. Most everything seemed well' filled. To rent a bungalow and set' up housekeeping for ourselves was out of the question. Tor we found that would be as expensive as the hotel, and a great deal more trou ble, for us, strangers In a strange land. All the missionary bunga- lng so we bad no hopes of getting in there, although we applied in three homes. Mr. Jackson spent whole half days in walking miles At last, when we were both worn out. after almost eighteen days had p i seed, and we were at our ’‘ex tremity.” God heard our prayers and gave us Hie “ opportunity.” The Presbyterians have a large compound called Mount Douglas. There was only one bungalow on this sMe. but it was large— end full — yea. running over, fo r some of the younft men had put up a tent, and had a chupper (grass house) built, out under the trees. There were two housekeepers managing two dining rooms, and upon inter viewing one of them, she satd that there would be room at her table, but no sleeping room In, the bunga low for us. At once we suggested a ebupper, end to make tt short, we ordered a chupper built at mice, which was soon under construction, and down near the tennis court in the jungle under the trees. Now, a chuppsr Is composed of bamboo polos, long grass,, large leave* small straight limbs and twine. Thé sidek and ends and the two parts of the roof are made in one piece each, by laying the small limbs down on the ground, in à network, butting a good covering o f grass on these, then a final net work of ttmba on top of that. The limbs afo tied with the twin« at every Intersection. The twq pieces of ths roof were fixed the seme way except that some grass is put on, then a layer of large leaves, then more grass end the final net- worh of limbe, etc^ making ihw-toof thicker and almost rain proof. The frame work of the chupper being up, constating of a ridge pole running the full length of the mid dle of the n o t, with end* poles and a center pole, and the eaves being supported in like manner, all poles being buried one foot in the ground, and the sides and anda and two pnrts of ths grass roof being finished, the next problem was the matter of getting all together. It was a most comical sight to see six pain of lags running along, supporting a piece of gram chup- pertng six feet by twenty-two feet, the chuppsr Ink lying flat- on the backs of six men flattened over to reoelve It. and completely obscuring their bodies. It suggested some new greatlou o f pre-historic, life animate once more and cantering along on a stroll, seeking a much needed dinner. After considerable ring-song hallooing and much grunting, the sides, ends end roof were in piece and made secure witb twine. The windows, three in the front room and two in the next one, were eat out, and the shades for the windows were square pieces of the same kind of grape chupper- lng tied at the top of 'the window, with a long forked stick, one end of which rested on the lower edge of the window, and the other on the shade, with which to prop It open. A similar kind of arrange ment was made for the doors. Imagine our delight! Our new grass house, at the cost of $10. was completed before dark fell the sec ond night, and ws were “ moved ip ." On the Oth oT April. 1>19, after haring been married fifteen months we first began housekeeping in a grass ebupper in beloved India. Prom a shop in the hasar. we rent ed sufficient furniture, such as two single wooden beds, with wooden springs!?) and cotton mattresses, two chair* a study table and a wash table and various accessories.

A gram roof would be such an appropriate place In which a snake could hide. The dropping of dry leaves and twigs from the trees, to gether with the wind and our imag inations. reminded us of the tiger stories. Once in the night we were suddenly aw*akened from sound sleep by the call of the chupper bird. so lurid and continuous, in the dead of night. However we trusted for protection and passed the night very well. ^jDur greatest fear of living in the chupper was not snake* scorpions and tigers, but the rains. Should they come early, and hard like most tropical rains, we should soon have to seek refuge elsewhere. Near the close of the season, the mists from the valley came up through the draw and many mornings we afoee to find our clothing very damp. One day while I ’was up at the missionary bungalow, a great thunder storm broke, tfnd water seemed to fairly pour from the lowering clouds. For a time It looked Is though the surface of the earth would be turned ifcto a young river. When the rain had subsided enough. I went to the chupper and found Mr.' Jackson busily placing newspapers on the tabl* beds, trunks, etc., for with the first drop pings of the rain, the roof seemed to leak everywhere at once. After the grass had had tiipe to swell a little, there were only a few places where the water came through ■ ■ ■ «»f th«» |kg beds, one end of the trunk, the middle of «the room, and all over the study table. We lit the lamp 'fcarly, and In order to keep the rain from splashing the chimney and breaking it, we raised the umbrella over It, and tied the latter to the side wall. We slipped on our rain coats and then packed almost every belonging into the trunks. It be came very damp and rather cold. During the time of nearly two whole months spent In the chupper we had only three of each nine, and every time' the-chupper root leaked In much the mune places. We were glad because o f t i e Im pending rain to be again in a house with a good roof and atone floors, yet our romantic experience of be ginning house keeping and living nearly fw o month« in a gran hot In 'the lend of our choice, We shell not soon forget. I do not wish to slight our wood- AUNT MARY All-of us had a real Aunt Mary, or have known one who assumed that relationship to us regardless of kin. No central west community of a generation ago Has complete without her, and she still exists here and there. Tbe beauty of her name. Mary, seemed fitf^jjag the beauty of her character. Tbe spirit of Aunt Mary was the heart beat of the central west In its youth— yes, and It Is yet, and of all America! The Aunt Mary that we have in mind, and who is quite typical, lived in a white house trimmed in green out on the edge of town. It was whiter than any other white house in town; the roses climbed on the side wall and the gdraniums in the flower beds w’ere redder and the gra n of the lawn was greener then those of any of her neighbors. Her cow gave better milk and her chickens' laid more eggs— even the fat, sleek tabby cat that aunned himself on the oval rag rug of her front doorstep seemed to reflect the well ordered life of the household. Of course, there was Utocle John. He and Aunt Mary had lived together so long that they were much alike; and Aunt Mary being the stronger char acter, and abounding in the qualities of human sympathy and gentleness, he was a reflection o f her rather than she of him, and the whole community always named her first in referring to, them collectively— Aunt Mary and Uncle John. Aunt Masr brought up a large family during the spring and summer of her years--in the same orderly way that she kept her household in the autumn of Ufa. and her coun tenance leflected the fart that they were all successful men and women. In all tbe quarrels and strife and prejudices that a com munity endures as the growing pains of its Jrouth. Aunt Mary remained neutral, gentle, sweet tempered, justified the blessings of the peacemaker and always gave wise counsel... The best of her, though, was by example— of a well or- — an tw eonecluus pTwreptrsus el . ■i .dated heppr nnitre 1 of thrift. Industry and goodness Of heart. And while all did not partake of all the adomtnents of her character, yet all partook of some part of them, and every community was far belter for Its Aunt Mary. We pass the house where once she lived on one of the brief end far between visits to our native town. The paint Is dull, the climbing rose is no more, the flower beds are bare and weeds grow in the yard. We are on our way to the cemetery to lay flowers on the grave of our kinsman. W e divide the number and place some on the last resting place of Aunt Mary near by. We read her full name on the headstone. Bet just two words. “ Annt Mary.” would be the true tribute; «for that ia what she ia in our memory end that of all who knew her. , And we were Just'wondering if aD the Aunt Marys of all the thousands of little communities all over America ts not the spirit that asserts itself within ns in times o f national ■trass and strife? Does not her wisdom and sympathy predominate over malice and unto justice? fa not Aunt Mary the soul of America?- -Selected. No. 52 NEW COLLEGE A NEW INDUSTRY HEAD ELECTED ««N E W B E R G Rev.
