Cheerful Home
It is claimed that we are all oreatnre of our environment, that
oousoiously or nnooncionsly we gradually oome to reflect onr surround
ings, whether tbey be obeerfnl and inspiring or otherwise.
The proper furnishing of our homes therefore assumes added im
portance. It is not a mere matter of pride or ordinary comfort. Keep
ing home furnishings fresh and oheerfnl Is not necessarily expensive
a very modest onllay here will accomplish tbia, tboogb one may of
course go as high as one oaiea to.
Your Draperies and
Your Rugs
are two items that have muob to do with the appearaooe of the home.
In botb these lines we are unusually well equipped this Spring. Be
sure and see our lines or write for information and prioos, giving uilm
idea as to bow mnoh yon expect to pay. But see tbe lines if possible.
Folks hereabouts nave never been shown snob assortments or snob
values.

of B. B. Richards, relative to Atbena
having a team in tbe proposed Bine
Mountain league, embracing tbe towns
uf Pilot Book, Pendleton, Atbena and

be unable to oops with the class of
ball required to go against Pilot Book
and Pendleton. Steps will now prob
ably be taken to use borne players and
organize a four team league witb tha
towns of Helix, Adams, Atbena and
