Marionette» Are A Her itage From Ancient Egypt L ittle Jointed Doll* Found in Tem ple Ruins Indicate That Puppets and Pyram ids V ie For A ntiquity Long ago, in Egypt, there were found little carved figures of wood and jvory, whose limbs could be made to move by the pulling of strings. These animated dolls were used as idols, first, then later by the priests to depict divers religious personages. As the centuries passed, and the figures improved by different artists in many different countries, they were employed to represent all kinds of people, from church dignitaries to ac tors, from rich to poor,— the highest and the lowest among men and women. From India through China, Persia, Japan, Greece antTÉome, the puppet, or Marionette, in one form or anoth er, has traveled, finally reaching its most recent homes in Italy, France, Germany' England, then— America. Puppets are not new in America. The North American Indians, partic ularly the Hopis, for hundreds of years, used them in their great cere monies. However, most of the Mar ionettes that we have known, until comparatively recent times, have been Italian. In the United States, there is a growing list of friends of the Marionettes. Companies, great and small, have presented every kind of puppet offer ing, including the classics, and the in terest already created leads one to hope that Ameerica may tak$> her place high up in the Marionette tree. We can fit all kinds of people. Any size or weight. Crippled or deformed feet. Wernmark’s Shoe Store, The Dalles. A horse belonging to Ed Mann fell Into a 30 foot well In Baker, landing on Its feet. A wrecking car operator passed a harness about the animal’s body and pulled the horse up by wind less. The steed took the matter very calmly until It reached the top. Then it began to kick vigorously. The an imal received only a few cuts and bruises as souvenirs of its experience. To encourage the sale of butter and thereby contribute toward the pros perity of the dairy industry, Enter prise merchants -have agreed to pell no oleomargarine or other butter sub stitutes after present stocks are gone. Rlnce the drop in butterfat and butter prices, sales of butter have increased and it is believed this has been some what at the expense of the substitutes. Value of timber sold from the Des chutes national forest in 1929 was 3352,244, the greatest in the history of the forest. Included in the sale was a carload of Christmas trees that were shipped to California. About 700 young Shasta firs were cut. E. L. Sechrlst of Ballston recently received a relic of the early pioneer days. A dolly made from the canvas cover of the wagon In which she crossed the plains to Oregon In 1847 was given him by a 93-year-old rela tive during the Christmas holidays. A delightful event of Sunday after noon / Jnuary 26, was the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. W. CT Bryant’s silver wedding anniversary, when about 90 friend* gathered between 2:30 and 6 at the Bryant home in Moro. Appetizing cake and coffee, genial conversation, and a fitting program so entertained the visitors that they were looth to depart and make way for others. Well-wishers came from afar to congratulate this highly re spected couple, who have done so much for this community. The program consisted of: Vocal duet, Misses McCord and Scruggs, “Will o’ the Wisp” “On Wings of Song” ¡/piano solo, Mildred Balz, “The Pagan Love Song” ; vocal solo, Ber nice Turley, “Snow Flakes” “French Polk Song*’; piano solo, Laura Urqu hart, “Hungarian Rhapsody” ; vocal solo, Mrs. Martha Cope, “Somewhere a Voice is Calling” (sung in memory of Mrs. Bryant’s mother); reading, Mrs. W.

T h» F u ll G o ip «l Assem bly The Lord Jesus said: “Before Ab raham was, I am.” — John 8:68. In this and many other passages, He claims to be equal with God, Di vine, “very God of very God.” Either this is true, or the reverae claaaes Him as the greatest imposter the world ever had. It is a rank insult to call Him “a good man! ” To such as have repented of tin, accepted Him as Savior and had wrought within their own beings the marvelous new birth, He has so mani fested Himself that no doubt remains nor difficulty of believing His mirac ulous birth or acts.
