Modern daily pa pers will go too far with such slush some day. A good many Vernonia people and Columbia county people, especially all Knights of Pythias members and their wives are personally acquainted with that clear, loud and melodious voice so oft heard here and in every other Oregon city on certain lodge nights, especially when clam chowder or oysters are served.

McMinnville Hillsboro Tillamook HGLE FEATHERS THE CROSS-WORD CRAZE This is a great country for fads, and seldom does a month pass without a new one sweeping over it. Just about one out of a thousand of these fads are really worth while or beneficial. But now a beneficial one seems to have ap peared in the foiin of the cross-word puzzle, which is claim ing many devotees around Vernonia. Teachers and learn ed men all over the country are endorsing it, because it means that those who try to solve cross-word puzzles must resort to the dictionary, and thereby become more familiar with our language. They argue that nothing yet discovered serves to acquaint young people with English words and their meaning as quickly as cross word puzzles. It makes them search for definitions and strange w’ords, words en tirely new to them, and these are being added to their vocabulary. Instead of passing quickly, as most fads do, this one appears to be gaining in popularity all the time. And that is doubtless because it is a sensible fad, and one that proves beneficial to both old and young. A New York minister says the U. S. is the most criminal nation on earth.

THE “SHAKEUP” IS IN SALEM We would advise Vernonia women to try to keep out of jail. A Chicago woman served a 30 day sentence and gained 15 pounds. Today the sun is hidden to the eyes of New England citi zens and today we are supposed to have severe storms and earthquakes. Every Vernonia married man can tell you truthfully that an experienc* ed wife is one who can nag just by keeping still. The good old days were those when salad didn’t taste like a lot of axle grease served on a cabbage leaf. Sympathizers and advocates of Jazz dances, late hours, innocent booze parties and the “smart set” boardering on underworld habits, have another horrible example of the results in the case of the 16 years old San Francisco girl who murdered her mother in cold blood, last week, be cause the mother was old fashioned enough to object to the late hours.
