The third Superfluity Sale was a
great success, $62 being taken in.
While the bidding on the pig was not

i h • sale as a whole was very gratifying.
This will be the last of these sales
un'il fall.
Miss Hattie Graham was eleeted to
fill the office of vice-chairman, and will 1
have charge of the sewing Tuesdays
ard Thursdays.
Bring in all your rags, as the garage
will take them from the Red Cross at

The Parent - Teachers Association
will hold a meeting at the school next
Thursday to tike up the making of
refugee garments.
The city council at its meeting Wed
nesday evening, after having numer­
ous complaints regarding reckless
driving of automobiles on the streets
of Hermiston cited to them, instructed
the city marshal to see that the ordin­
ance covering tbe speed of such vehi­
cles be strictly enforced.
Mrs. J. T. Hinkle was reappointed
on the library board, her term having
expired a few days ago. The term of
Mrs. F. A. Phelps also expired at the
same lime, but owing to other duties
demanding her attention she requested
that she be not reappointed, whereupon
Mrs. H. G. Newport was appointed as
ber successor.
The ordinance against allowing irri­
gation water to run on the streetswill
be rigidly enforced this season.
Next Tuesday evening at. 8 p. m. io
the Movie Hall will be given a lec­
ture on “The World War” by John
Lewtas, war correspondent, traveller
and lecturer, that should be well at-
tended, as one half of tbe proceeds
go to the Juni r Re d Cross.
Mr Lewtas in the past fifteen years
has traveled extensively in Europe and
is thoroughly conversant with tbe pro­
blems involved in this great struggle.
When the war brokeoul he felt a k en
interest and followed everv movement
in detail Later he visited the battle
line as a newspaper correspondent,
collected hundreds of pictures, from
which he has had lantern slides made
These he places before his audience
and, with a graphic deser ption which
he gives, brings a double message to
his audience. Mr. Lewtas spent the
summer on the Chautauqua platform,
has lectured before the leading schools
and in the largest chi rd e: in the
Pacific Northwest and in Canada. No
patriot can afford to miss this great
lecture.
