the Methodist Community church at
Heppner, ho have been intimate
fnends of the family for more than
twenty years, mere among these lat
ter a- specially invited guests. The
reunion was a spiendid success, and
a number of the children travelled
far tc be preent and enjoy the splen
did feast nd flow of soul.
Those present were: The father,
E. C. Miller, of Salem; A. F. Beards

a:.d daughter Coralee: Edwin Harvey
Miller, Clara Miller, Florence Miller.
Karl Miller and wife, Edith tRair.ey)

been enfaped as assistant to the pas
tor of the Methodist church at Spring
field, UU end now returned to Bloom
ington, 111., was borne for the occa
sion. She was toast mistress, and
the hour after dinner was given to
speeches and reminiscences, and then
Mr. Miller, standing as a patriarch
at the head of the table addressed the
children as follows:
"Dear Children: I have looked for
ward to this occasion for a long
time. This is the first time in many
years we have all been together at
one time. 1 know it has meant a
sacrifice for us to meet together at
this time, but the pride and pleasure
I take in having you all with me, sure
ly makes me more grateful to God
for His protecting care and guid
ance, "There are few families that num
ber as many as we, who have been
left together as father and children.
There was only a short time of nine
teen months that the twelve of us
were permitted to live together. The
one we all loved most, left us. It
should be with devout reverence that
we all stand in silence before her
likeness here. iThe company rose and
stood at attention before the por
trait) I want you to pledge your
selves to follow in the way she start
ed your little feet and hearts to go.
(A prayer of dedication was offered.)
"But I am not unmindful of the
fact that you older girls took up the
duty your mother was called to leave
You were truly MOTHER to the
younger children, and a comfort to
me. In a few years each one began
to take up your own responsibilities.
Ton have learned life is fraught with
disappointments, and sometimes with
bereavements. But think of the
honey bee. Do as she does. She is
always working at the right time,
and gathers only the sweets. So
gather out of life only that which
makes happy. 'Remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth,
while the evil days come not, nor the
years draw nigh, when thou shait
say, I have no pleasure in them.'
Eccl. 12:1.
"We are want to recall many little
incidents of our home life some hu
morous, some serious some very
serious, perhaps, to your bodies. Well,
I must say it always hurt me more
than it did you- I never could quite
see the full force of the saying.
'spare the rod and spoil the child.'
but it was always a pleasure for me
to work and provide for you. It al
ways did me good to see you eome to
the table with a healthy appetite. The
food was not always what I should
liked to hare given you. bat it al
ways seemed to agree with you. Da
vid said, 'I have been young and
grown old, but I have never seen the
righteous forsaken, nor their seed
hegging bread So all the way our
Divine Father has led the way, and
provided.
As I look back today there are
some things that I regret. I always
wanted to be a good father to you
but I can see many points where
I have utterly failed; but I shall
think we are to be judged by our mo
tives instead of by the deeds. This,
it is possible and very probable, is the
last time we shall be together as we
are today. We regret the absence of
mother this day who has taken the
place of your mother. So my wish for
you all if, as Jesus prayed when he
was about to be taken away, fJno.
17:15) 'I pray not that thou shouldst
Uke them out of the world, but that
thou shouldnt keep them from evil.
, . r Sanctify them through the
truth; thy word is truth. And for
their sakes 1 sanctify myself that
they alfo may be sanctified through
the truth.' I do not pray for you my
children alone, but for all of your?
that shall come after you.
"So let us all live that when the roll
is called up yonder we will be there
to spend our endess eternity in the
pretence of the Lord where there is
fullness of joy. My best wish for
each of you is a very useful and
happy life here, and then Life Eter
nal at God's right hand."

Fresident Coolidge, in a letter to
Near East Relief, endroses plans for
the third observance of Golden Rule
Sunday on December 6.
In giving his endorsement the Pres
dent acknowledged the receipt of re
ports showing that last year fifty
countries observed the day and that
sixty-five are expected to participate
this year. The President aided in
this observance. The purpose of the
day is to promote international good
will, in general, and specifically to
focus attention upon the needs of war
and famine orphans in the Near East.
On Golden Rule Sunday people are
asked to serve the menu of a Near
East Relief orphanage in their homes
nd then to contribute as their means
permit to relief work among the chil
dren.
The President's letter follows:
"The reports of the observance of
International Golden Rule Sunday
last year in fifty countries, and its
far-reaching results in the training of
orphans in the Near East have been
of great interest to me. This expres
sion of brotherhood inevitably has a
beneficial influence upon those who
give as well as those who receive.
"As practical help is the best
pression of friendship, I feel that the
aid which we may give out of our,
prosperity to those impoverished by
war may be of the irtmost value in
the promotion of international good
will. The consistent observance of
Golden Rule Sunday cannot but help
to bring about the application of the
Golden Rule itself to the misunder
standings of nations and of individ
uals. 'I earnestly hope that the voluntary
observance of this day may become
increasingly prevalent in the homes
of America and throughout the
world."
University of Oregon, Eugene,
September 9. The work of the Uni
versity of Oregon in the training of
secondary school teachers will qual
ify graduates for instructorships in
the high schools of California on the
same basis as those who receive the
necessary prescribed training in
Stanford University or the University
of California, according to an an
nouncement made here today.
The acceptance of Oregon degrees
for certification in California schools
on a parity with the southern state's
own higher institutions of learning
ia regarded as signal recognition of
the work here, according to the Ore
gon administrative committee. Ore
gon officials received notice of the
new ruling from the California Btate
department of education.
Oregon students who desire to
qualify for California teaching posi
tions will take five years of collegiate
work, as high school teachers in Cal
ifornia must have the master's, as
well as the bachelor's degree.
A still further equalization of :
scholarship standards among the
University of Oregon, Stanford, and
California will be brought about this
fall by the refusal of the Eugene in
stitution to admit to the freshman
class any non-resident student who
is not qualified for admission to the
state university of his own state.
To date, forty of the forty-three
rejections of non-residents who have
filed their credentials with the Uni
versity of Oregon for admission to
the fall term, have been due to this
rule. The rule was adopted by the
faculty because it was found that
non-residents in the past who made
mediocre or poor records were stu
dents who could not have been ad
mitted to full standing in the lead
ing institution of their own state.
Despite the $150 non-resident fee,
number of out-of-state students
seek entrance in the educational in
stitutions of Oregon. The University
of Oregon, to protect its scholastic
standards, will enforce the new rule
henceforth, although it will mean a
reduction in the normal freshman en
rollment. Non-residents in question
are still eligible to other institutions
in the state.

Visitors From All Over Country
Will Attend Grand Lodge,
September 21 to 25.
The Odd Fellows of Oregon are to
entertain many train loads of eastern
visitors at Sovereign Grand Lodge
which meets in Portland September
21-25, 1925. Although the gathering
will be held in Portland, and the 7,000
members of the Order in that city
are directly handling the big conven
tion, yet the task falls upon the. whole
state and every mmeber of the order
is contributing toward the entertain
ment fund, which will aggregate near
ly $50,000. The city of Portland is
contributing $20,000 out of their
combined convention fund which wat
subscribed early in the year to han
dle some sixteen major conventions
which were to meet in the city of
Portland during the season.
The Odd Fellows are one of the
largest, if not the largest, fraternal
organizations in the world, and this
is a world gathering. The Grand
Sire of Australasia will be present
to represent that section. There will
be several thousand from the Prov
inces of Canada, where there are
many flourishing Odd Fellow lodges.
A number of states of the east are
sending special train loads, there be
ing three special trains from Chicago.
One is termed the Odd Fellow Spec
ial, and will carry the Grand Sire
Herbert A. Thompson, and hia ataff
of officers, with a number of the del
egates from that part of the country.
Another is the Rebekah Special which
will convey the President of the Re
bekah Assemblies, Myrtle W. Tandy,
and some two hundred representatives
to the Association of Rebekah As
semblies. There will also be a Hoo-
sier State Special, conducted by the
Odd Fellows of Indiana, and several
carloads from Washington, D. C,
which ia the home of E. W. Brad
ford, Deputy Grand Sire of the Sov
ereign Grand Lodge. One of the big
eastern delegations will be from the
state of Pennsylvania. Pennaylvania
has more Odd Fellow Lodgea than
any other state in the country. Potts
town, Pennsylvania, will aend a car
load with much regalia. They have
an excellent Degree Staff, and are
expecting to carry off the priiei
all three degrees of the Encampment
branch.
The major part, however, of thi
membership that will be in attend
ance will be from the three atates of
Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Ida
ho ia sending in a number of degree
teams and putting on several floats.
They expect to have headquarters in
Portland during the big gathering
and entertain all visitors and friends
in true western apirit In the name
of that jurisdiction. Washington
which is taking advantage of the
place of the gathering of Sovereign
Grand Lodge this year, will likely
have nearly as many visitors in Port
land as the state of Oregon. They
have over 60,000 membera of the or
der in Washnigton, while Oregon has
but 43,000 members. There will be
a number of special trains from dif
ferent parts of Washington, and at
least a half dozen different eounties
in Oregon are contempksting charter
ing special trains for their mem Ben
Tillamook and Clatsop counties were
among the first to plan for a special
train. However, the great bulk of
the members in Oregon and Washing
ton will attend by auto. There are
five arterial paved highways leading
into Portland; two from tne aouth
being the East Side and Weat Side
highways; the Columbia highway
which extends from the Pacific ocean
on the west to The Dalles on the
east, and ia in excellent condition
clear through the east; and the north
ern highway which cornea from the
Canadian border.
from Transcona, Manitoba, which is
near Winnipeg. There will also be
degree teams from Vancouver, B C,
Seattle, Bellingham, and a number
of northern cities. Detroit, Michi
gan, is sending a Rebekah team with
the hope of capturing the first prize
in putting on the Rebekah degree.
J1ST DIVISION TO MEET.
Portland, Ore., Sept. 8 Veterans
of hte 91st Division who reside in
this city are making great prepara.
tions for the Sixth Annual reunion of
their old combat organization, which
will be held in Portland on Septem
ber 25, 26 and 27. Hundreds of men
who served with the famous Wild
West division, from the state of Cal
ifornia, Washington, WTyoming, Ida
ho, Utah, Montana, Nevada and Ore
gon, are expected to attend.
Among the veterans of note who
will gather with their comrades are:
Major General William H. Johnston,
former division commander, and Col.
John H. (Gatling Gun) Parker. The
three days of the reunion will be
featured by banquets and other forms
of entertainment.
The convention dates have a spec
ial significance in that they fall up
on the opening days of the great
Meu3e-Argonne drive in 1918 when
the 91st Division started its offensive
and won for itself the record of be
ing the first American Unit to take
its objective in the first phase of the
Argonne and the first to penetrate the
Von Hindenburg line.
Proving That Hasty
Criticism Is Unwise
In "My Book of Memory,"
Youth's Companion tells us, Mr.
Silas Hocking, the English novel
ist, repeats an amusing story con
cerning Dr. W. B. Pope, once a fa
mous Wesleyan professor of the
ology, and of his son Sam.
The son was preparing for the
bar. Occasionally he tried his
'prentice hand at preaching the
gospel In village chapels. One Sun
day morning his father said to
him: "Sam, I'm not feeling at all
well today. You will have to preach
for me this morning."
Sam demurred. The father In
sisted, and suggested that he had
two hours to make a sermon, and
if he could not do It In that time
he was not fit to be a barrister.
Sam went away to the study.
Then he wont off to the chapel.
Unknown to him, his father fol
lowed and found a sent hidden be
hind the pulpit. He heard the
sermon and then hastened home
again.
"Well, Snni," said he on his son's
return, "I've heard you preach, and
a poor thing you have made of it.
I thought you could do better than
that."
"You think the sermon whs not
very good?" the son inquired.
"Good?" the old man replied. "I
think It was one of the worst ser
mons I have listened to!"
"Well, father," said Sain, "I
thought It was a poor thing my
self, but I turned over u big pile
In your study, and It was the best
I could find."

Throw Hats at Candidates
The word "hetman" Is a title
given to the commander In chief of
the Cossacks, annually chosen from
among their number. The process
of selection offers a contrast to the
American custom of figuratively
throwing one's hat In the ring as
a sign of willingness to accept the
nomination to office. Among the
CossackB It was the custom while
In assembly to throw their fur caps
at the candidates for whom they
voted, and the one receiving the
greatest number was declared
elected. Baltimore Sun.

Belief Seems Justified
A Greenville (Me.) newspaper
says that It Is a very old Indian
tradition that all the bull moose of
eastern and northern Maine make
Journeys to the west shores of
Moosehead lake at the close of the
year for the purpose of casting
their antlers. "Though the story
has passed for fiction among the
residents, there are not a few old
hunters and woodsmen who believe
It, and relate tales about the
abundance of moose antlers among
the maple woods 25 miles north of
this village."

WHEAT FARMERS
MAY MAKE THEIR
DUSTING MACHINE
O. A. C. Bulletin Describes Home
Made Inexpensive Copper Car
bonate Treating Machine.
Oregon wheat growers may mako
their own machine for dusting seed
wheat with copper carbonate for
smut, by sending to O. A. C, for ex
tension bulletin 381. Dusting has
proved much better than the wet
method under Oregon conditions, and
the dust needs to be put on more
thoroughly than can be done by
shoveling over the dust and grain.
The machine described by the col
lege bulletin is made out of a 50 -gallon
oil drum or barrel, obtained at a
nearby garage or oil station, v ith
six feet of water pipe and a few
screws, pieces of wood, washers and
the like. A farmer with a farm tool
house or shop can readily make it
all, while any handy man can put it
all together but cutting threads for
elbows on the pipe, which he can get
done at the time he orders the pipe.
Two bushels of grain can be treat
ed at a time in a machine made from
a 50-gallon drum. Treated in thi.
way the seed grain may be used im
mediately, or stored any length of
time till weather or labor conditions
make seeding feasible. No grain Is
injured, it germinates and grows as
well at untreated grain, and no more
need be planted than is needed .to
make the crop. In liquid treatment
that swells the grain and often dam
ages the germs, the rate of seeding
has to be greater than is needed for
a good stand where all the seeds
come up.
The dust must be made to cover
every part of the grain with adequate
protection, which means that the dust
must be of the right quality and
kind, and In the finest form. Only
two ounces of copper carbonate dust
are needed to each bushel of seed.
The dust Is injurious to the lung
and should not be breathed.
With the college type of machine,
from 15 to 40 bushels of seed may be
treated in an hour.

. Vanity Cases
Used 3000 B. C.
Scientific excavations in the ancient city of Kish, so
we are told by a news dispatch, shows that women car
ried vanity cases forty-nine centuries ago. Why did not
the luxuries of that old civilization spread to the rest of
the world? Why were the delicate and pleasure-giving
things of life buried and hidden away for so many ages?
Without the printed word, information could hardly
be spread to other countries and the knowledge of events
and things could scarcely be preserved. Today, if a bet
ler rug is produced in Kurdistan, it is sono advertised for
sale in American newspapers. If a better necklace is
made in China, a printed advertisement will shortly de
scribe it and quote the price on the other side of the
globe.
Advertising publishes the secrets of good things from
one end of America to the other. The newest and best
products of forty-eight states are told about, fully and
truthfully, wherever the public press is read.
Read the advertisements and you keep from being
buried like Kish.
