At the Jt. Luther League Conven tion our League pledged $15.00 toward the “ Oregon Lutheran.” W e are able to announce at this writing that about half that sum is covered by individual subscriptions. Two girls o f my catechism class, whose mother died when they were little, Goldie and Lillian Johnson, have gone to California, to live with their father who married again re cently. The bazaar conducted by the Ladies’ Society in the second week in December yielded about $125.00, o f which $100.00 have been put into the basement-building fund, and the re mainder will be used to equip the par sonage with a hot water system. A concert zither club o f 7 young men and one girl has been started two months ago, the'pastor being the in structor. It is hoped that by Easter the club will be able to play a few sel ections publicly. The services for Christmas and New Year are as follow s: Dec. 24, at 11 a. m., a festival service in German, and the program in German in the evening at 7 :30, when the treats, consisting o f books and sweets, will be given to the children. Dec. 25, at 7 :30, a program in Eng lish will be rendered by the children. Jan. 1st, a service will be conducted in English and the L ord ’s Supper cel ebrated. On January 7th, the service will be in German, but a sermon will be preached in both languages' in order to accommodate the whole con gregation. Immediately after thé service the regular annual business meeting takes place with election o f officers, etc. In the second week o f Jan., I shall lecture in the church every evening at 7:30 o ’clock on “ The Truth About Evolution.” Let everybody spread the news and help fill the church. I f the church becomes too small we shall rent some hall. . The next Luther League social will be at the home o f Mrs. Wm. Sporalski, the first Wednesday in January. Let us make an effort to win at least half a dozen new members. OREGON LUTHERAN W A N TE D : A goodly attendance at' the benefit dance to be given: at the Band Hall Sat.

The Fashion Show has come and gone, and, in spite o f the elements, those who attended on Thursday, Dec. 14th, very much enjoyed the turnout, there being nearly fifty people pres- net. Those who were not fortunate enough to be there missed a mighty fine program, a social afternoon with refreshments, and an opportunity to see some o f the fine work turned out by the three sewing classes who work ed under the instruction o f Mrs. Baker, o f Salem. The meeting was held in Odd Fel lows hall, and displayed some o f the garments made under the instruction o f Mrs. Barker. Although the display was materially curtailed because o f the inclemency o f the weather, enough was shown to give some realization o f what was accomplished in just twenty-four hours o f lessons. A very interesting program was given : Mr. Elliott, state director, told what the Smith-Hughes bill is, and how it is financed, so as to make this vocational training possible. Miss W ood, state supervisor, spoke o f home ecomomics and how much lis gained in many ways by this “ get together” spirit. One may have instruction in sewing, millinery, cooking or in al most any line, i f desired. Mrs. Barker spoke o f the pleasure she had had in teaching the various classes and how pleased she was at the amount that had been acomplished. Two more classes aire to be started after the holidays. Anyone desiring to join should send in her name at once. Mrs. Frank Miller contributed to the program, two piano solos, “ Dedi cation,” by Trygoe Torjusson, and “ A Good Dance,” by G. Vargas. Mrs. Ben Stoner sang two solos, “ Smiling Through,” and “ Keep on H opin ’ ” . A fter the program, the afternoon was spent in social enjoyment, re freshments were served and garments viewed. All went home glad that they had braved the storm to see Au rora’s first “ Fashion Show.” RF= WANT ADS. Auction block Make your wants known here. One cent a woid each week. Send money with ad.

N E ARBY AND COUNTY A new industry which promises to be o f great material value to this sec tion o f the country is the pottery and clay products enterprise now under way at Molalla. The clay beds at Molalla are thought to be especially adapted to the manufacture o f high class chinaware. Canby’s proposition to irrigate 5000 acres was voted down by a big major ity. Our sister city appears to have slipped a cog on this all important matter. Irrigation, without a doubt, will increase many times the ‘crop ordinarily produced under nature’s system, but only those who have lived in a dry country where practically nothing grows without it fully realize its value. Adam, H. Knight, who held the office o f postmsater prior to the re gime o f President Wilson, has again been appointed to the office.
