A MODEL JEWELRY STORE
It is a pleasure to visit the Kul-
lander Jewelry Store in Vernonia.
This week the special window dis­
play of Silverware is indeed inviting.
Mr. Kullander tells us that it is his
aim to have in Vernonia goods of
only the highest quality. In fact the
store proves it. Anything that can
be bought in this world in his line can
be had here, if it is good. Not only
diamonds, watches and jewelry are
of the best, but the silverware we
are speaking of in particular would
make the best present we can think
of for home, Wedding Anniversaries,
birthdays, weddings, new homes and
for all occasions. The window display
of silver cases is beautiful.

honors of the day and has the best
target record today, in fact only one
in the state has beaten his record so
far. The rifle range is on the Seward

Of
the Rifle Club the President is E. S.
Thompson, V. P. Perry Harvey and
Secretary is Emil Messing. Ameri­

join. The club will put in an indoor
target for the winter as soon as suit­
able location can be found. *

pendent. Mr. Holbrook’s petition will

Often little mistakes or miss quo­
tations of facts get into a paper with­
out the editor’s knowledge, or slip
by the proof reader, that cause ill
feelings to a reader—while in truth
the mistake is one that causes grief
to the boss for some time to come.
Such an item appeared last week. The
editor was out of the city all week
and returned after the paper was
made up. When reading the edition
that night a local item sent in by a
young lady reporter read: “Miss Op­
al Coyle had a farewell party last
week with a very few attendants.”
The item is wrong in the extreme. It
might have been the intention of the
reporter to say a few selected guests
were present, but as the local was
written and printed it conveyed an
entirely different meaning, and, as
previously stated it hurts the Eagle.
In fact it hurt so much that we were
nearly a week wondering how to cor­
rect it or how to appoligize. Facts
of the case. Miss Opal Coyle was pre­
paring to attend High School at Bea­
verton for this term, and on the eve
of her departure a party of young
friends, invited guests, gathered to
bid her farewell for the school year
and to wish her a pleasant and profit­
able year. A large crowd were at the
party, a splendid time wa's enjoyed,
and the guests all report one of the
really pleasant evenings of the year,
with the one exception that Miss Op­
al Coyle would not be with them this
school term. We wish to here apoli-
gize for the way the misstatement
appeared in our absence.
SILVER TEA
[NATION WIDE ESSAY
CONTEST ON LIGHTING
Contest is Open to All School Child­
ren Over Ten Years
of Age
One of the greatest educational un
dertakings ever launched by any in­
dustry in America will be inaugurat­
ed on Oct 1st, and will have the at­
tention of millions of school children
in the United States and Canada.
There are about 100,000 boys and
girls in the state of Oregon who will
be eligible to compete for the magni­
ficent series of prizes that has been
offered.
The great enterprise is a gigantic
essay contest, fostered by the light
and power industry with the fullest
co-operation with the educational
forces of the country. The subjest of
the essays will be “Better Lighting in
the Homes.”
Back of this elaborate movement is
the fact that scientific investigation
shows that while the general adoption
of electric lighting has greatly bene­
fited humanity in relieving eye-strain
as compared with former conditions,
there are still about 25 per cent of all
the children of school age in the
United States who áre suffering from
defective eye-sight. Hence the funda­
mental object to be achieved by the
contest is to assist in the wide-spread
restoration of normal vision by im­
proving lighting facilities in the home
Thousands of cities and towns are
already layingr plans to take part
in the contest the first announcement
of which appeared in the Saturday
Evening Post, of September 13th.
The first prize will be a $15,000
model electrical home, which will be
erected in the city or town where the
writer of the first prize-winning es­
say lives, or any place where he or
she desires. Ten valuable university
scholarships worth thousands of dol­
lars are the other prizes.
The director in charge of the con­
test in Oregon is A. C. McMiken, of
Portland Electric Power Company,
Portland, Oregon, from whom addi­
tional information may be secured.
All boys and girls, 10 years old or
over, attending public, private or
parochial schools are eligible to take
part.
