After holding hearing» to which we invited engineers and doctors from our state colleges as well as all others in the state who were interested, together with rep resentatives of the various manu facturers, rigid specifications for the manufacture of these devices were adopted and all manufacturers were required to submit stock models of their devices for tests. This move spread throughout the country and our specifications with some additions have been adopted for the nation by the U. S. Bureau df Standards, the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. and by a number of states through action of their legislature. The Oregon law prohibits the sale of unapproved electrical devices and provides severe penalties for violat ors, but no punishment by a court can equal the remorse that must be elt by the young man who con structed the device that caused thé ueath of this innocent child. All devices that have been ap proved for sale and use in Oregon bear a label stating that they have been approved by the Commissioner cf Labor and Can be purchased through any dealer in electrics! merchandise for a small sum. We again wish to issue the follow ing warning to all prospective user* of electric fence equipment. Do not try to construct your own unit. You may be responsible for the death of a neighbor or a member of your own family. Drawings and instruc tions taken from magazines are not to be trusted. Purchase only those devices bearing the approval label cif this department or the Under writers’ Laboratories, Inc. If you are offered a unit that is not so approved, report it at once to the Bureau of Labor, Salem, Oregon. At The Churches . . Assembly of God Church —Rilla M.

Easter Lily in Bloom— A report this week makes known the unusual fact that Mrs. Carl Hedman now has an Easter lily in blc. m. The beloved American tradition of “music in the parlor” is due for a revival as a result of a new- musical instrument for the home which adds singing tones resemb ling orchestral instruments to the brilliant percussive tones of the piano. Called the solovox by its inventor, Laurens Hammond, who also invented the electric organ, it is designed as a musical sup plement to the piano, and is.so easy to play that even the “one- finger” pianist can produce sat isfactory music on it. Operated entirely by electricity, the solovox never needs to be tuned. A miniature keyboard of three octaves, it is attached to the piano so that the player’s right hand Can span both the solovox THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AlKil ST 22. 23, 24 and 25 Fun for Young and Old Livestock Show Poultry Show Grandstand Events Carnival Fireworks Dancing Every Evening Columbia County Derby Racing and piano keys simultaneously. A tone cabinet containing the elec trical equipment is mounted underneath a grand piano or alongside a vertical piano. The solovox produces tones sug gesting Hutes, strings, brasses or woodwinds, and while the player’s right hand carries the melody on the solovox, the left hand accom panies on the piano, simulating a eluet of two instruments. The player uses tone selectors on the front of the solovox in various combinations to get hundreds of exciting new tonercolors. For children as well as amateur adult pianists the new instrument makes ewen the simplest music sound exciting, and its versatility is equally satisfying to more pro ficient players. 19 I, Pop— He’ll Never Change Sure he’s old-fashioned hut Dessy’s Tavern is JUST THE OPPOSITE If you don’t believe it drop in for a refreshing drink Bulletin Tells Of Minerals 9” Men’s Movement will have charge of all services at the Christian church, both morning and evening, on Sunday, August 18.
