MISS KALE GIVEN A
SnOWER AT OAK KNOLL
Mrs. W. A. McCormlck was the
hostess at a beautiful luncheon given
in honor of Miss Jessie Hale at the
Kinney home on Oak Knoll Saturday
afternoon. The perfect beauty of the
day, the daintily attired guests and
rich appointments of the dining
room made a charming setting for
the occasion. A mass of golden yel
low daffodils gave color to the ar
tistic effect of the white and silver
of the luncheon table, while from
the dainty yellow bon 'bon dishes at
each plate trailed yellow ribbons to
the chandelier above. Following the
salad course, which was served in the
peeling of grape fruit, the guest drew
the rlbons from the chandelier. At
the end of each ribbon was a heart
shaped card, on which the guests
wrote wishes for tho future bride.
These were read at the close of the
luncheon.
Adjourning to the parlors a merry
afternoon was spent making holders,
afterwards presented to the guest of
honor. The unique feature of the
afternoon planned by tfce clever
hostess was a test of the culinary
skill of the young ladles and matrons
present. To each two guests was
given a list of five "left-overs," such
as the ordinary pantry contains when
no preparation has been made for
luncheon and the man of the house
telephones at 69 minutes past the
eleventh hour he will lunch at home
and bring a guest. The ladles were
Instructed to make out menus from
the scraps, and as a proof of their
reliability to Include the recipe for
each dish. The results were suffi
ciently Bntlsfnctory to assure at teast
some' Grants Pass men perfect safety
In a sudden appearance at their
homes for lunch.
As the luncheon was really a show
er for Miss Hale, the pretty brlde-to
bo was told to go search for the
"spoils," which the hostess' had con
cealed In hidden corners. The re
suit was u happy array of cut glass,
silverware, linen and hand-pnlnted
chlnn, Tho guests of tho afternoon
were: Miss Jessie. Hale, Mesdames
Hale, Woodward, Stonnker, Fromme,
Oldlng, Blanchard, Kinney; Misses
Anna Hlner, Rrlden, Susie Hannnrd,
Ada Smith, Marlon Clarke, Christie
McLean.
A prettier affair Is not often seen
here and this luncheon marks a pro
pitious opening of the season for
spring brides.

WEEKLY ROGUE
NEARLY 8000 SIGNATURES
There is an agent on the 0. W. R.
k N. who is somewhat given to gath
ering statistics. His latest effort was
to determine bow many times dur
ing the month be would sign the
name of his station. The result was
that during the month of February
be bad written Hot Lake, his sta
tion name, 7832 times. This seems
to those not understanding the con
ditions obtaining at Hot Lake sta
tion to be almost out of reason, hut
when it is remembered that the
agent there is also Western Union
operator, freight agent and express
agent, the figures do not seem too
high. Each ticket sold requires
three signatures.
The Hot Lake station wbb estab
lished for the sole benefit ; of tne
Hot Lake sanatorium patrons and
all the business furnished this sta
tion is derived from that health re
newing Institution. As an evidence
of the business transacted at this
station the official records show that
during the year 1910 10,000 patients
visited the Hot Lake sanatorium.
All passenger trains stop there,
besides a dozen or more freights,
therefore it is easy to see that the
Hot Lake sanatorium railroad agent
has something to do besides watch
the vapor arise from tht, great
mineral spring.

SEEN BY ONE THERE
Rev. Robert McLean received on
Wednesday a letter from A. B. May
nard, dated at Esperanza, Mex., state
of Sonora, the center of the present
war activities. Mr. Maynard, wno
was a classmate of Robert N. Mc
Lean at Hamilton college and a close
friend of the family, having been
with them in Porto Rico, gives in
this letter some interesting facts,
some of which are given here:
"The troubles In Mexico are still
serious. Diaz will have to grant
the concessions demanded or the
thing will be fought to a finw. The
revolutionists!. e those who are
sincere, I do not count bandits who
make use of the occasion to raise
the dickens have more than rea
son to fight. Mexico has been, and
is, a country of colossal grafts. For
eigners with capital get anything
they want. All the lands are held
in great tracts, and peonage, which
13 slavery, Is as common as it was In
our own south. The "jefes politicos"
of all the towns great and small
are men of low intellect, cruel with
their dealings with the poorer classes
and the tools of wealthy Interests,
whether native or foreign. Even the
soldier, low type that he 13, is so
poorly paid and so ill-treated that he
deserts as fast as the opportunity
offers.
Mexico is far from being ready for
a true representative form of govern
ment, owing to the utter ignorance
of the lower classes, but those who
handle the reins need a scare which
will cause them to change their
methods, and I guess that t..e cure is
pretty near complete, for the revolu
tionists win nearly every action.
The most common cause of insom
nia is disorders of the stomach.

Tablets correct these disorders and
enable you to sleep. For sale by all
good dealers.
