A Noted Lecturer.

Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh will
lecture at the Central Methodist
CHURCH next Wednesday evening
beginning at 7:45 sharp. We
hope the good people of Fitzger-
aid will turn out to hear this tai
ented woman who is doing a good
work in her field.
Pendleton East Orcgonian:
Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh's lect-
ure at the Baptist church, Friday
evening, exceeded any previous
effort of hers in this city al
though always entertaining. It
is fair to say that few audiences
were ever better entertained.
The address teemed with wit,
while at times the speaker rose
to flights of eloquence which prov
ed that there was a distinctive
element of oratory in her public
speaking"
Mrs Unruh has also received
t1attering endorsement from the
Atlanta Journal and Constitution
and has a national reputation.
Her subject in Triton will be

sociations that California fruits
have acquired such world wide
reputation, and are found in all the
principal markets of the world.
Hood River berries have acquired
their enviable reputation through
the same efforts, and as Kennewick
leads them all in point of quality
and early production, no time
should be lost to effect systematic
organization to place our TN
equalled production in the leading
markets of the United States and
Canada. An organization of this
kind will mean a saving of thou
sands of dollars to Our fruit
growers in the next few years, and
the general reputation of the
country and the enhancement of
property values resulting from it
cannot be computed in dollars and
cents at present. Theirs is no time
to be lost and action should be
taken Immediately.

clusively confined to dwelling

The Dixie Trouhadours.

Jake Wells has made the reputation of never putting his name to anything that is not good. His amusement enterprises nave all been on such a scale as to stag ger the old line theatrical managers. No theatres in the United States have ever offered such attractions as the Wells Dunne- Harlan Musical Comedy Company and the Bijou Opera company at popu- lar prices. MT. Wells has the knack of feeling the pulse of his clientele and forming an acurate idea of what they really want in the way of amusement. After thirty weeks season of the diff ferent forms of drama and musical comedy drama, he has decided that his clientele wants a genuine novelty. After scanning the field and finding nothing that would meet his entire approval, Otis Harlan was commissioned to go back to New York and put together company embracing the novelty features desired The result is The Dixie Troubadour. which is a combination embracing some of the cleverest entertainers on the Amer ican stage It is all fun and music, serv- ed on silver platters as it were, and the side dishes, salads and dressings, are all of the never before" kind, sure to please every one~ and warranted to cure the most chronic dyspeptic or dissolve the worst case of blues.

ern masters of English expression, in- cluding Gladstone abroad and Abraham Lincoln at home, have been Biblical students. and their writings and speeches betray their familiarity with it's pages. John Ruskin largely owed his power as a writer to the fact that his mother required him to commit to memory whole chapters~of the Bible in his boyhood and to master the meaning of every word and sentence thus memorized.
 If there were more reading of the Bible at home and elsewhere, there would be less cause for complaint of the slipshod, slangy English in preva- lent use among even the students and graduates of our universities. The books that young people read have al most as much to do in forming their habits and style of speech as the com pany they keep.

IGNORANCE OF TIE BIBLE.
IamentabIe Ignorance Shown in Re-

om the Philadlphla BuIlefIn.

From the Philadlpha Bulletin.
 Has the Bible ceased to be generally studied or even read by educated young Americans? At first blush this ques- 'tion would seem to be an absurd one to be propounded in a land famous for its Bible societies, church and Sunday schools.
 A recent test made by the faculty of the Johns Hopkins university, however, indicates a lamentable ignorance of Biblical lore among the students of that institution The test consisted in reading in the presence of a class of eighty students a newspaper editorial containing reference to the Ethiopian changing his skin and the shadow nov ing backward on the dial. The students were then asked to state in writing where these references were to be found and whether they were used ap- propriately. Only one of the eighty was able to locate the Ethiopian quotation correctly A few others connected 1t with it's parallel quotation about the leopard changing his spots, but were hay as to whether it's author was Job or Kipling, or some forgotten writer intermediate between the two.
 It is to be feared that if a similar test were to be made at many of our higher institutions of learning the re- suit would be substantially the same. While in almost every American house one or more copies of the Bible may be found, too many of them are dust GOV cred. Yet, leaving entirely in abey- ance the code of morals which it teaches, the King James version of the Scriptures is an inexhaustible fountain ot the purest English Nearly all mod
