A Birthday Surprise.

On Sunday, June 2Sth, 1908,
the members of Harris Grove
Farmers club, and other friends
gathered at the pleasant home
of Mrs. Orr, during her absence
at a friends in Missouri Valley,
an absence pre-arranged by her
sons for a purpose, of which she
gained the first intimation when
she entered her home upon her
return.
About sixty happy faces
smiled welcome, while she, (usu-
ally SO self possessed), stood
surprised, striving to find some
thing to say to welcome all.
Only for a moment she hest
tated, then she passed from one
to the other taking the hand of
each, proving her self a genial
hostess.
A sumptuous dinner from the
we'll filled baskets of the guests
was most thoroughly enjoyed.
The occasion being in honor
of her birthday, a token of love
and appreciation for Mrs. Orr
Was presented in a very
appropriate speech by Mrs.
H. H. Mckinney, to which Mrs.
Orr responded in a manner that
touched the deepest feelings of
all present.
The time passed quickly and
pleasantly in conversation.
A trio, by Mr.. Peterson, Mrs.
Longman and Miss Rena Wal
ters, was highly appreciated by
all.
Farewells were then spoken,
in the early evening, and each
and all wished Mrs. Orr many
more years of life, filled with
the happiness that comes from
true living.

Rest Rosl,, in Cnawa.

OnaWai is to have a RESTROOM
Most of our readers know what
that means, but to those who do
not, we will say that a rest room
is just what it's name implies
a place where the wayfarer, la
dies especially, can rest during
their shopping visits to the town
or while waiting for train con-
nections. The room has been
secured over Blotcky's store, the
proprietor setting aside a por-
ton of the space, which will be
enclosed with a railing and pro-
vided with easy seats and some
thing cool to drink. It will be
a boon to tired femininity, es-
pecially if accompanied by small
children, as arrangements will
be made for an attendant so
they may be left in charge while
business is being looked after.
Visitors from the country or
from other towns are cordially
invited to avail themselves of
the privilege Of our rest room
when in the city.
The enterprise is to be cred-'
tied to the Onawa Equal Suf7
frage club, assisted by the young
Endeavorers of the town Ona-
wa Gazett.

now located in California.
Downey, Cal, June 20, 'O3.
j. f. Stowe, Mo. Valley, Iowa.
Dear Frank: II will now en-
deavor to write you a few de-
scriptivc lines OF the country,
although pen cannot do full
justice to the subject.
1t was raining the day we
arrived in the city of Los Ar
geles. II rained very hard. All
the electric car lines were tied
up for several hours. 1t rained
a little every two or three days
for about two weeks and it
hasn't rained any since. My
brother says you can take the
roof off your house after April,
and | have begun to believe
him now. Yes and say to my
brother, j. H., we thought it
never rained in California. He
says it mostly rains through
March and April. 1t rains in
the evenings here and next
morning you can get u and go
to your work. You can ride q
wheel an hour after a rain.
Well, Frank, | think | have
found a country that | like very
much.
j. I. has a fine ranch of 65
acres. Most of his land is in
alfalfa. He has a fine new
house, two story, with ten
rooms, hall and bath tub, hot
and cold water, and everything
up to date. He only milks 25
COWS. | tell you cows and
chickens are good money. AL
falfa we cut every thirty days.
He gets a ton to the acre, and
lit is worth in the fall from $40
to SID per ton. We have Al
acres in our ranch, about three
quarters of a mile from Jim's.
1t is fine land. The party across
the road from us was offered
$4,000 per acre for his ranch.
We will have to put out a few
more trees. There are most all
kinds of fruit on our ranch.
Pears are beginning get ripe.
We have had ripe apricots for
the past three weeks. Oranges
and lemons are plentiful.
This is the only place to
ranch. | have found out that
from five to ten acres is plenty
for one ranch. Set it out in all
kinds of fruit. One man we
know here has one-half acre of
Strawberries and he has al
ready sold $500 worth from
that amount of land. You can
pick these mostly the year
round. We are going to take a
load of apricots to the city of
Los Angeles Monday. We are
13 miles from the city; 125,OCO
population. You may know
that you can sell all you can
raise. | find out that you have
to be near the people to do
business We have rented a
building in the city of Los An
geles to retail and wholesale
our fruit.
The best part about it is the
evenings. You can sleep with
out any trouble. We have been
sleeping under two blankets
ever since we came here and
my brother says it's that way
the year round. In the morn
ing after the sun comes up it is
a little warm until about 2 D.
m., then the ocean breeze
comes up and it's fine. 1t was
only 80 last summer and it's
the same this year. You get
in the shade of a tree and it's
so cool that you can't sit there
very long without your coat on.
The Iowa people can't realize
what the country is until they
have been here a while.
We have in ten acres of

Our contempt for the stuff was
greater than ever and before it
had left the floor we were at
work on this issue, which we
present to our readers on it's
regular publication day, with a
mo lest reference to our xxx
brand of enterprise"
A New York Court has ruled
that when a manufacturer sends
out a line of samples to the deal
er, the goods sold the dealer
must be equal to the sample in
quality if he expects pay for
them. The dealer is not COM
pellcd to return the goods, if
not like the sample, but may
recover the amount paid the
seller on such goods.
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch
says there are five thousand
girls in the typewriting service
of the government at Washing
ton. When a girl is hired in one
of the departments as type
writer she names the kind of a
machine she wants and it is
bought for her. Big wages are
paid the typewriter girls who
work for the government.
A Negro preacher at Whining
ton, Del, preached a sermon to
his congregation Saturday eve
ming, in which he said that the
white man is worse than a hye-
ma, and advised his congregation
to initiate Tracy, the outlaw.
That kind of a sermon is calcu-
lated to do an imense amount of
harm, especially to a Negro con-
gregation. That preacher should
be suspended.
One of the reputable physi-
clans of Washington, says the
use of opium, choral, cocaine,
and the like opiates, are on a
terrible increase in the Capital
City of the United States. He
says that the habit is almost en-
tirely confined to the Society
class of people, and that it is
simply astonishing how preva-
lent the use of these drugs has
become among that class.
M. M. Kirkman, Second Vice
President of the C. & N. w. Ry
company, has just published his
second novel. 1t is called els
kander," and deals with the
times of Alexander the Great.
Mr.. Kirkman writes as a relax
alton from his ardous duties
as General Vice President of
great railroad system of which
he is one the leaders. The re-
viewers speak very highly of
the book.
Colfax Clipper: "Quite a
number of exchanges are Civ
ing resumes of the orations of
the local graduating classes. We
used to do something in that line
bat that was a long time ago
One time, we remember, we
printed the Grafton of the class
complete. They occupied just
one solid 8-column page of min
ion type. We sold IS copies of
the paper at five cents apiece.
That shows how much interest
the people and the class take in
the graduation exercises after
they are over

Newspaperdom cit is a
costly pastime for newspapers
of a city to indulge in a so-call-
ed newspaper war. The public
quickly tire of q controversy
over the respective merits or SUI
pepremacy of newspapers. The
paper which pursues the even
tenor of its way, giving all the
news and watching the inter
ests of its readers, is the one
which is most attractive. News
paper controversies may seem
interesting or even necessary to
the papers directly involved, but
they mean a big financial and
prestige loss in the end.'

Bearing Z London, England,
postmark and dated May q, a
letter addressed in the forego-

ner was delivered this morning
to Messrs. Edgecomb & Deur of
this city. The correspondence
was from one of the London
customers of the Valley Mills
and related to flour shipments.
The sender of the letter neg
lected to include Missouri Val
ley in the address.
When the letter first turned
up at the New York postoffice
among the tons Of mail from
foreign countries the depart
ment noted the failure on the
part of the sender to include the
town. The letter was then sent
to Des Moines, and ultimately
reached Missouri Valley. Just
