APRIL 25 1913 Tbe Press is Informed (tat Portland baa a "Big Sisterhood," an unique sooiety, which invites the io teres t and co-operatioo of mothers and daughters and other members of families through out the state. This society ia quite in formal, and its organization oompiises man; of the leadiug and well known women of Portland. Its aim is to give friendly aid and counsel to girls who are alono in Portland or who for any reason are iu need of a "Big Sister." The work of the sooiety is not offered as a cbatity, but is just tbe friendliness of one woman for another, or a "Big Siatoi" for a "Little Sister." So many girls going to tbe .ily from the country and tbe small towns have fdilen into misfoitnue through want of a friend, or iu some oases have been utterly lost to tbeir borne people, tbat these Portland women bave as sociated themselves to extend the friendly bund to gills and women who need any kind of belp whatever. If girls, or the parents of girls, wbo ere going to Portland, will write to the Big Sisterhood, care of tbe People's Institute, arrangements will be made to give tbr.m snob attention us they may wish on reaobing Ibe city and tbeir welfare will be looked after by big sisters who will take pleasure in knowing them and helping them. So many sad thingB happen every day to girls wbo go to Portland from small i towns and tbe country tbat tbe im portance of this aoquuiutauoe witb tbe "Big Sisters" is urged upou mothers and daughters throughout the state. Tbe shifting aud obanging soeues of a town or community are emphasized and brought more forcibly to tbe at tention of the editor than to anyone else. As we pass from day to day and from week to week tbe changes are not so apparent to the ousual observer, but ate made prominent to one con nected with newspaper work. Mar riage, deaths, births, arrivals and do partuies, tusiueas transfers, tbe good and bad fortunes of neighbors pass in panoramic review. It surely is a shifting, obanging soene and the news paper man realizes bow rapidly towns and communities change, for the rea sou that it is bis work to obroniole tbe changes as they ocour. During tbe last few weeks a number of deaths bave ooourred, and to tbo.se to wbom tbe gloom of death bns oome, is tbe realization of the shifting eoene, but their vision is in a way circumscribed to their own sorrow. Tbe newspaper prints one story of death only to write another, aud another, until it kuows that men oome and men go and tbeir presence is as shifting ua the sands of the sea. Ex. In order to obtain tbe widest possi ble benefit from the legislation reoont ly passed to attract settlers to this state, the State Immigration Com mis-' sion is inviting sugges'ions as to tbe best method of enticiug new citizens from abroad. By resolution, this ef fort is to be directed to securing do eirahle Immigrants fioai the agricul tural dlBtriots of Northern Europe.

There be spent bis boyhood until be was 18 years old, tben witb bis family mi grated to Ontario, Canada. A sad event took plaoe doting tbe voyage from Sootland to Canada. Tbe father, Hugh Bell, died and was buried at sea. Without further mishap tbe family landed in Canada ten souls all told Mrs. Hugh Bell, Malcolm, Charles, Allan, and Jessie, tbese were half bro thers and sister to tbe following: Don ald, Katberioe, Duuoan, Flora and John. 1 boss were tbe bard days of log rolling, burning and breakiug iu the great virgin forests of Ootario, aud surely no class of men were more qual ified for the laborious task of felling the forest and draining tbe marsh than the stalwart sous of Sootland. Tbe family bate all passed to tbeir reward save Katberiue, wbo still lives in Canada, und John who has lived bure since 1890. Tbe deceased bad always made bis borne witb JoIjd, and when the latter moved from Canada to Oregon, Don ald followed soon after, coming here in company with the Molntyre family. He was of a retiring nature, being a deaf mute from bis early years. He was learning to talk as other children, when at two years of age be was seized with a maligcant lover which left him afflicted for the remainder of bis life. He died April 10, at tbe ripe age of 81, an old inau greatly beloved aud well roBpeoted. A large number of people attended the funeral, wtiob was conducted by A. Mackenzie Mel drum, at the home of John Ball. Tbe interment took place at Atbena, April 12, 013, . A. M. M. "Delicatessen Wives."

"Such shipments mean Studebaker has the confidence of the farmer" Every year over one hundred thousand horse driven vehicles are sold by Studebaker. Over a million Studebaker vehicles are always in use. Stop and think what that means. This enormous output means that Farmers the men "who know depend upon Studebaker wagons to do their work. - And a Studebaker wagon never fails. It is always ready to do a big day's work and to keep on doing it. There are thousands of Studebaker wagons that have been in service from 20 to 40 years. A Studebaker wagon is a real business asset Wheels, body, frame, axles and running gear have been tested and retested by experts. You can buy cheaper wagons but they're not Studebaker, nor will they last like Studebaker wagons. , Whether in city, town or country, for business or pleasure, there is a Studebaker vehicle to meet your requirements. Farm wagons, trucks, contractors' wagons, buggies, surreys, runabouts, pony carriages, business and delivery wagons each the best of its kind. Studebaker harness also, of every description.
