turns VOLUME n. BEAVERTON, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY , 1M1 No. M ; GATHER WATER Mil Interested Reside of District But of Beaverton Will Tell Commer f rial Club What Can be Done. Wednesday night two gentlemen from Portland who were billed to come to Beaverton and tell the com mercial club all about the new pro position to furnish Bull Run water to Beaverton residents, failed to appear and those who had come to hear the matter presented were disappointed. However, E. Grandgeorge rehearsed what has been done along that line and on motion was appointed a com mittee of one to gather additional facta regarding the proposal to get Bull Run water available here and to bring before the club the exact facts of the present water situation in Bea verton. He was also asked to learn if the parties proposing to bring Bull Run water here will connect with the local system in such a manner as will keep the pressure of the local system up when the Tualatin Valley Water Co. fails to do so. The low pressure present in the evening hours the past few days has again called attention to the fact that Beaverton needs better water pres sure if all its citizens are to be Berved well and it is probable that steps will he taken to aid the council in accept ing the proposition ol tr.e rortiana people if some means can be devised which will permit the use of the Bull Run water when the other system fails to supply a sufficient quantity. Other matters coming before the club were the picture resolution laid over from last meeting, the progress of the charter committee and the ac ceptance of an offer from the Huber Commercial Club to give the use of their hall one night for a dance for funds to promote the Council Crest site. The treasurer was authorized to send a check for $25 to D. A. Norton bb guaranteed by the president of the club. The offer of the Huber Club was accepted and the president was au thorized to go ahead with plans .for the dance and call to his assistance such members of the club as he might need. Mr. Snow s report on the charter committee showed that the committee had made considerable progress in the matter of getting material but had not held any additional meetings with the town council. HURRAH FOR THE FOURTH Hurrah! for the fourth The little boy cried, As early that day Ihe arose The water and aoap He quickly applied Then put on his Sunday-best clothes. He combed up his hair His shoes he did shine He tied a neat bow in his tie His mother she said "Is this young man mine?" That morning the Fourth of July. As time used to be Some crackers they had And O! what a wonderful noise But laws of today In large towns are bad He spends his 4th now without noise. The picnic and lunch The home baseball game Were the sights which they would be hold. The foot races, too, They knew each ones name How often they have been retold. There were the rockets, They shot up the night The fire, works one bought at the store But today somehow, They won't arive delight, As the time when knee pants they wore. Those that would not shoot They'd bend in some nlace. With a match the powder they'd lhjh-t it sometimes woura size And blacken their face. And sometimes their hands were sight. Hurrah! for the fourth, The little boy cried As ho turned his bank upside down Then in his pockets His purse went inside, And he started gaily for town. O. O. SMITH. DONT JUDGE YOUTH - v BY OLD AGE We hear a great deal of talk about the young people of the present gen eration. Manv neonta hnlri un thoiv hands in holy horror at the actions of xne areaatui young persons" of today, but we fail to see why they are not juat tne same bundles of human na ture that we had in our own time. Most of us forget that the world just at present is going through a wonderful period of change. We are learning to deal with our thoughts and our emotions as realities and not as something to be ashamed of, some thing to be kept under cover. If it brings out a lack of self control, at least we can fight in the open and call things by their right names. If things are carried somewhat to extreme in e few cases, this fever will soon burn itself out and humanity will be better able to govern itself as a result of the experience. . If you really study the 'young peo ple you will find them normal, healthy, young things, just as you were at their age, iuii ot me but with their own ideals and purposes. The trouble with older people, thev too fremientlv for. get the impulses and longings of their own youth, in the judging of young was severely burned while attempt people. mv -v ;k.v;-..-. ing to -save the household effects, ; JERSEY BREEDERS' TOUR THURSDAY, JULY 14 The Washington County Jersey Club has planned a Jersey Breeders' tour of Washington County for July 14th instead of the Annual Picnic.

What makes up a town from the material point of view? The streets sidewalks, fences, lawns and trees, the public buildings and parks. Each one of these are a detail of the town. If the lawns are poorly kept, no matter how perfect the rest of the town may be, that one bad detail spoils it. If papers are allowed to blow about the main streets and sidewalks are not swept in front of the stores, it looks like a poor town for business. If two or three houses have sagging porches or untidy door yards, it makes a bad blot on the beauty of the town. The best of it is it costs so little money to keep all the details in first class shape. A little care on the part of every citiien every day. and we would have a model town. Is this too mucn to ask 7 WHAT LIFE IS LIKE As I write thiB I can look out of my window and Bee a Cloud, a Hill. Spire, a House, a Wall, a Road, and a Kiver, in just this order from top to bottom. Life is not a Hill, for a Hill is beau tiful at a distance only, while life is near and dear, and its microscopic ways are as charming as its perspec tive . Life is not a Spire, for a Spire points to a happiness in another world than this; whereas, happiness grows in but one place: Here, and at one time, Now. The kingdom of life is about us. Life is not a House, for a House is permanent, while life is fleeting. Many lives come and go, and the House stands. Life is not a Wall, for a Wall is a limitation, while life is indefinite and has no bounds. Life is not a Road, for life roama the fields and goes where other men have not gone. It flies over the hedgeB as a bird, It treads the forest as a deer. Life U a River, always the - same. yet ever different; always passing, alwayB present; fluid, yet outlasting all walls and houses; flowing, yet en during; going, yet eternal. The River of Life" is a true sym bol. The river is the one natural ob ject that is both fleeting and perma nent. -Dr. Frank Crane in Farm Life. SAY A WORD OF CQMPORT 'Long the road of human life you see a fellow travelin' slow, An' like as not you'll find that he's some poor chap that's stubbed his toe. He was makin' swimmin' headway, but he bumped into a stone, An' his friends all hnrried onward an' left him here alone. He ain't sobbin' or ain't snifflin' he's too old for tears an' cries. But he's grievin' just as earnest if it only comes in .sighs, An' it does a heap of good some times to go a little slow, An' say a w.ord of comfort to th' man that stubbed his toe. The Superior Sheet. The L. S. C. I. of Huber, held its annual election of officers on June 23, at the home of Mrs. Lumberg on Hen- nesee Ave. The officers elected for the coming year were as follows: President Mrs. J. Anderson. Vice President Mrs. W. G. Clark. Secretary Mrs. Marlin. Treasurer Mrs. Dan Shaw. It was decided instead of the reg ular business meetings during the summer, to hold picnics the second Thursdays of July and August, the first picnic to be held in the grove at at the home of Mrs. Kimball. School Begins Sept. 12 Beaverton schools will open for the fall , term September 12. A full corps of teachers for both grade and high school have been elected. ft Home Iff Burned Early Tuesday mornine the home of Joseph Garbarino. livine two miles north of Beaverton, was burned to the ground and Mrs. Garbarino NO MORE FIRS WORKS FOR OREGON Monday was the last Fourth of July in Oregon before the lid is clamped down on nrecracxers ana fire works of all kinds. The elimination will be by virtue of a law .passed by the last session of the Oregon legislature which gives the state fire marshal authority to draft his own regulations regarding the control of fire hazards. A ruling is now being prepared by A. C. Bar ber, state fire marshal, following a conference with deputy fire marshals from different parts of the state. It will forbid the Bale at retail within the state of fireworks or firecrackers of any kind. It becomes effective January 1, 1922. The drafting of a measure was hastened by a tragedy at Albany in which one little girl was burned So severely in a premature Fourth of July celebration which ended in dis aster that she died, and another was burned in a way that will leave her scarred for life. The state fire marshal proposes to allow tne mayor and council of cities to permit public displays of fire works on a large scale, on occasion. but these must be carefully suoer vised. The day of the small boy's real sport with toy cannon, giant cracker, cart-wheel, rocket, torpedo, and roman candle faded Monday. The rule of the fire marshal will in reality make more effective a ban that is more or lees general throughout the state at present. Practically every city has strict reg- its against the use and sale of firecrackers. They have been power less to stop the sale through coun try stores ftnd smaller towns, how ever, and their efforts have not been 100 per cent successful in in stituting a "sane Fourth." MORE RECREATION AND LESS WORK IS ADVOCATED Necessity for more recreation and less work for children in rural dis tricts, was emphasized by Dr. Henry S. Curtis, well known orator and playground supervisor who - viBitod on the campus at O. A. C. Oregon and 27 other states have passed laws for playground work which are only enforced in cities, the speaker pointed out. These laws must be enforced in the rural dis tricts, he declared, so children living in the country will hsve the same ad vantages as the city chidrcn. "The long hours of country life, said Doctor CurtiB, "are fust going. A farmer will have more time for recreation. Farm wives and children need more time for recroation than they have been getting. It is a tragedy that the children are disappearing from the farm, and that they are not learning to love the beauty of our country. The citv child is an expense until 21 years of age, while the country child is self supporting after the age of 10 or 12. "Lvery home with children ouirht to have a sand pile for them to play in the first few years of their life. Provisions should be made for ath letics in rural schools, for the conn- cry ooy, xnougn stronger man me city boy, is not better in athletics," Home of the best games to be played in the rural schools recom mended by Doctor Curtis are volley ball, playground, baseball, croauet and tennis. "The country schools have a creat responsibility to get the children to like the country," said Doctor Curtis, "but they can have everything hi the country that they have in the city and it is largely up to the teachers in rural schools to give them the start." ROYAL ANNE CHERRIES SHIPPED BACK It AST Nearly 300 tons of Royal Anne cherries have been shipped to eastern pvints by the uregon growers' Coop erative Association. sociation. Due to the per-1 ishability of this variety of cherry it is not usually shipped eastern points in large quantities. but all early reports indicate that the cherries went through in unusu ally good shape. In addition to these over 100 tons of black cherries have been shipped. OREGON CITY TO MAINTAIN TAX Oregon City will not rescind its or dinance imposing a license fee of $10 a month on all out-of-town trucks and delivery wagons delivering merchan dise within the town limits, according to information received. Portland business men protested against the extra tax imposed upon them in mak ing deliveries in Oregon City, but of ficials of that town passed the law to protect their own merchants and would not reconsider the measure. FREE T. BB. CLINICS ARE HELD IN STATE Free clinics for chest examinations have been held in three Or eon coun ties since last March by the Oregon Tuberculosis Association, which is pioneering in this work through Christmas Seal Sale funds and the co-operation of county medical asso ciations. The most recent clinic, held at Cor vallis in June, was conducted by Dr. G. C. Bellinger, of the State Tuber culosis Hospital at ealem, which open free to tuberculosis patients more than a year a resident in the state. Twenty-nine people were ex amined and in 16 cases different types of tubrculosis were found. Nine were in need of hospital cars and three have now gone to the state hospital. Similar clinics at Astoria and St. Helens, conducted by Dr. Ralph Mat- son and Dr. E. A. Pierce, respective ly, were so successful in disseminat ing information about the disease -that the Oregon Tuberculosis Asso ciation is planning 1 eventually to reach every county in the state. Clinics for Eastern Oregon are i planned for this Fall. THE CAPITOL Km Gemeral PuWk In- th Cmtjr Seat. . A son was born June 68th to Mr. and Mrs. Gua Ruecher, of this city. ' Mr. and Mrs. G. M.

Of the ten highest records made in the year, five were made by Ore gon cows with an average production of 896.38 lbs. of fat. Heading the list of breeders of medal winners is J. M. Diekaori A Son, of Shedd. with seven to their credit, followed by G. G. Hewitt, of Independence, with four. Ed Cary, of Carlton, with three and O. Pickiml and E. J. Farnham, of Marion, with two. In the list of sires represented by medal winning daughters, Val entine's Ashburn Baronet, the Dick son herd sire, tanks first, credited with five, Rinda Lad of S. fi., the Hewitt bull, second with four. Poppy St. Mawes, with two medal winneii, is tied for third place with an eastern bull and St. Mawes of Ashburn, also a Dickson sire, is one of four in fourth place with two gold mednl daughters. Golden Glow's Chief ranks fifth with one gold and one silver medal to his credit. Thus an Oregon bull appears in the first five places in the list of producing sites for 1920. Ten cows by reason of supevior per formance, won more than one mednl each and of these, seven were Ore gon Jerseys. Nineteen states are rep resented in the awards made. Oregon cows with only 1914 registered, repre senting only 4 1-3 of the Jerseys recorded within the ytar, won In gold, 3 silver and 1 bronse or 81 of all the awards made. Ohio ranked second with 8 gold and 1 bronte; Maine.third with 7 gold and 2 bronze; Massachus etts, fourth with 6 gold and 1 silver and Washington fifth with five gold medals. This remarkable record of per formance places Oregon in the first rank as premier Jersey state of tlw Union and should act as a stimulus to still greater effort to maintain thai enviable position. ALL OF THESE COST US NOTHING IN CASH It costs nothing to have fresh air in your home. It costs nothing to stand erect and breathe and walk properly. It costs nothing to choose the kinds of foods that the body needs. It costs nothing to avoid dosing yourself with patent medicines, It coats nothing to keep out at your body, substances that are known to be injunous. It costs nothing to adjust your diet so that the more expensive flesh foods are not taken in excess. It costs nothing to eat some crusty foods that give proper employment to the teeth and thus save dentists' bills. It costs nothing to cleanse the teeth thoroughly after each meal. By so doing you save not only dentists' bills but surgeons' and doctors' bills. It costs nothing to feed the mind with wholesome mental food instead of trash or morbid literature thut easily decomposes and poisons your whole life. It costs nothing to masticate one's food thoroughly; this insures better digestion and less of the expense of highly flavored foods, and m ney and health are saved. A NOVEL IDEA A new sort of grocery may be seen at Lockport, N. Y. The customer helps himself to what he wishes to buy. He enters at one side of the room, passes along by a rail where all the goods are done up in packages and marked. The goods begin with A, where he enters, and end with X Y Z. Taking a pan or a basket, the customer quickly passes around the store and comes to the cashier with what is wanted. There the bill is paid. If the basket U used to carry the goods home, 4 cents is paid, and on its return 4 cents is reoaid. Goods can be sold cheap for "cash and carry" and nobody has to wait for a clerk to get through with other buy ers. Outside of selling hours the proprietor and cl,rk put up the goods, and are able to sell more goods In a day than several men could hndle in the usual way. This mode of trude was invented when the war made help scarce in Lockport, PORTLAND WOMAN WILL ESTABLISH HOSPITAL Mrs. Helen P. Sadler, of Portland, has purchased the Geo. G. Hancock residence property in Suth Park and will remodel the place and es tablish a hospital there Tbe deal was made the past week, the consideration being 17,000. Mrs. Sadler and her mother have been conducting a maternity hospital fn Portland for ten years past anil sne understands the business thor oughly. We are informed that the very best of nurses will be secured and an up-to-date institution will be conducted. Forest Grove is in need of just such an establishment and it is hoped that our physicians will give thf lady their undivided support in this undertaking. Foreat Grove News-Times Signs Up on Erickson Avenue Erickson Avenue Is the latest to put up street signs. This street hna been improved as fur south as Charles Bert hold's home and at its junction with - South Broadway there is a neat sign, the work of Alfred Kuofer. . The funeral occurred from the Methodist church the following Tihm. day, Rev. Shipworth conducting the sarvice. Her remains were laid to rest in the Masoni: cemetery.. A. H.

ADJUSTMENTS IN COSTS MUST BE MADE In the labor world Samuel Gonv pers Is thinking, but he is not receiv ing the Buoroort of the country as he should. He comes nenrur today fighting the battle for America than any other Individual who Is speaking to the public. He sees wnitner lauoi is headed, if It listens to the siren voice of radicalism. He sees thut with certain Soviet control In this country, the working man would be doomed to slavery, such rs he has never experienced or ever dreamed. A farmer who finds himself in perplexing position must think and realise he is not alone. The bus.ness world, with few exceptions, is having the same experiences he is having. There is no economic balance. The retailer is blamed because prices do do not fall more readily.

The electrician who receives eight dollars a day wonders why there Is not more building. The manufactur er finds a lack of demand for his products, It all goes back to the cen tral point until there is a general reduction of costs, there can be no forward movement. MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRA TION NOW ABOVE LAST YEAR A disnath from the State Capital at Salem says that motor vehicle registrations!, during the first sir months of the year 1921 aggregated 103.928. or 138 in excess of all regis trations during the entire year of 1920, according to a report prepared by Sam A. Koser, secretary of state. iiegistrattons lor the year iwu to taled 103.790. Based on the ratio of registrations received during the last six months of 1920, Secretary of State Kozer said that the total registrations . of motor vehicles for the present year probably would exceed 117,000. This would mean a material increase in li cense fees, which are turned over to the state treasurer and used for the construction of roads. SUN SPOTS The soota on the sun which have been visible to the naked eye, If a smoked glass were used, are apoken of as being 100,000 miles In extent and twenty odd miles wide, savi an exchange. That means they are big enough to swallow four little things like the earth on which we live. The spots are said to be both unusual and out of time. They are supposed, to move In a cycle of eleven years and the apex of the cycle was reached about four years ago. If these obser vations are correct the sun soots have been disarranged. Just what tt.ese snots are the astronomers do not vet know, perhaps electrical storms of some kinds. The association of elec tricity with the sun is now generally accepted and some observers associate with these solar spots the manifesta tions 01 northern lights, the old auro ra boreal is, which have recently shown unusual brightness and which have upset telegraphic communica tion througout the northern hemi sphere, HILLSBORO TO HAVE NEW POST OFFICE The government has accepted the bid or JJr. W.

AND OTHER FISH In a paper published down in Ar kansas we read, the other day, a bit of verse wnicn seems wortn reprinting, not because of any merit of ''poetry but because of Its element of common sense, oomo poetry, like some people is strong on beauty and short on sense. wniio oir.er verse, and other people, may not conform to the rules of "art and yet be more worth while. The Arkansas paper didn t say "whar dey got it," which is the reason why we, in turn, cannot rive full credit to the one who wrote It. Here it is: "Supposin' fiBh don't bite at first, What lire you iroin' to do? Throw down your pole, chuck out your Dull, An Bav your fishin's through?

The pavilion is said to nave cost $18,000 and it certainly is worth it to the town and countyv Here is a large auditorium where almost any crowd that can be a-atoered together in this county can be taken car of and where mass meetings are poiwioio without discomfort and crowding. The buildinir was formally dedicat ed Friday evening and then followed three days of real old-fashioned cel ebration. Fireworks, balloon ascen sions, parachute drops, parades, speeches, and a whole carnival com' puny made up a celebration which Washington County will not soon forget And Washington County was thore, rubbing elbows with those from Yamhill, Multnomah and Tilla mook as well as with many from more distant points. The Yamhill band was there and added to the gaiety of the u'suvities with superior music. ' The biir new dance floor wai a ten ter of attraction to the young people and proved alluring to many of the older heads. Parking facilltlee were arranged and while some criticism was voiced as to the charire made, the vennrnl opinion was that everything was done which the management could have provided for the comfort of the guests. Several accidents marred the pless ure of the celebration but with few exceptions they were of a minor na ture. The balloonist suffered a brok en leg In his triple drop the last day.
