If so, come out Monday night and let your interest be known. These two very Important mstters hinge upon your willingness to do your part.

There were just ton members pres ent. These ten rfuivd to accept the; responsibility of accepting or reject ing the terms submitted and called a special adjourned meeting Monday night. If there is not a representa tive gathering of eltlaeni Monday night, these two vary Important mat-1 tors for Beaverton 's future will die. Already mora than half of the nec essary funds for tha furniture fsc tory site hava been subscribed and the amount is steadily tncreatlnt as other cltlssns learn of the opportuni ty. But before the matter la definite ly put up to the manager of ths fac tory, Beaverton business men want a representative gathering of citizens to express their desires In tha matter. It Is ths same way with tha 192B fair site. It is going to cost consid erable money to answer ths question naire. Also, it Is going to take a lot of somebody's time. There ls large corporation here to profit by the location of the fair on the Council Crest site, It will be a general bene fit to Washington County people. It will be a larger benefit to Portland and Multnomah County. But the largest benefit will accrue to ths peo ple who attend tha fair. No one per son can afford to bear tha burden of time or monty necessary to answer .tills questionnsirs, The .answer of the other- communities will , come when Beaverton's answer is mads. What shall it be ? Are wi through ? Do want to lie down, now? Give your answer Monday night at Pacific Theatre at 8:00 o'clock. It makes no difference whether you are a member of the club or not All you need Is an, interest In seeing the fair put on the heights. FIND PREHISTORIC CORN IN TENNBH8BK 8TONB GRAVES P. M.

Corn that grew In Tennessee in urs- historic times, possibly before Joseph put away his seven years' supply In ftgypt, was unoartnq recently oy w E. Meyer, of the Hureau of Ameri can Ethnology, and sent to the United States Department of Agrilulture for identification. DurUiff recent excava tions in Davidson County. Tenn.. Mr. Meyer came upon a number of stone slab graves containing mortuary ves sets. Some of these held sfwclmens of charred maize in fairly good con dition. From tha size and shape of ine grains it wss doss l bis to identify the variety as Many-Rowed Tropical Flint, a form about half way between true flint and popcorn. ' The same type of Indian corn oc curs in the West Inditts. and there is no question in ths minds of scientists but that there was a vry early com munication between the West Indies and North America. Not only corn but beans, squashes, pumpkins, and tobacco are of trooical and subtropi cal origin. These staples, now so im-! portant throghout both hemisDheres. found their way Into North America and were cultivated beyond the Great uikes in ( anuria long before tha dm covery of America. There is shun dant evidence of communication be tween the Wtst Indies and Florida, and up tne Mississippi and its tnbu taries. POTATO FIELDS IAHPECTEU 22 fields of potatoes which were entered for certification for seed pur poses were inspected in Washington county the past few dayi by W. H.

The mnerlal council decided that subsidiary hospitals Would be con structed, ont In tha Pecifc Northwest, another in the Pacific southwest, an other In tha Atlantic northeast of the United States, one In the Atlantic southeast and two In Canada. Representatives of Al Kader tem ple, Mystic Shrina, have launched a campaign, which, it Is honed, will culminate In the establlshasaac li Portland of a subsidiary hospital for crippled children. f rank 0. urant, illustrious poian tate of Al Kader tonsple, aaa ap pointed Mayor Baker and Dr. 8. M. Strahecker to go to Atlanta, Georgia, and there on September 22 pre seal Portland's claims for this heeyltel.

"While At Kader temple vary grs clouflly authorised its potentate per sonally to present Wi matter, I reel, u In view of tha fact thai the city of Portland, and you might say, the whole Pacific northwest, will be Inter ested, that I can select no person bet tar qualified to preavnt tha matter Sroperly than our mayor, George L, aksr.

Heretofore, the Shrine haa. been known only to tha public as a gath ering of Masons bent noon havtair a social time and creating good folfcw- shlp wherever they go, staging spec tacular conventions and ceremonials, and the world has little known of tha reat charity work that tho Shrine has done and is now doing, not only Tor its own members but for tha bene fit of humanity in general. .

What greatur work can be done for humanity than this? It Is ths puipose of tha Shrino to build first a central hospital In St. louis, and then from time to time construct subsidiary hospitals throughout tha Unitod States and Canada. "Owuia- to the fact that Mimr Bsksr is an extrenwlv busv mu mtui th duties of his office arduous and exacting, he hesitated to .accept tha misnion proffered by tha potentate, but when It waa brought out to him that It was not only Al Kader tvmple that would be benefitted by the secur ing of this subsidiary hospital but the eity of Portland and the state of Oregon as well, he accepted, believing that he could perform a public duty In vresentuur such an lmnortant mat. tor," . - A GOOD STORY Karnham, Hillsboro; Robert Warrens, Gales Creek; Thos.
