Wedding.

Congratulations are being show
cred on Adam Radir. People are
insisting that he is married. House
wives and men also have telephon-

many a "well. for the land sakes.'
The tidings have been hustled
about with as much celerity as ex-
cited minds and slick tongues could
tell it. Everybody has been be-
guiled with the story. The people
have insisted on calling the old man
married in spite of himself. They
have congratulated him on every
corner and refused to believe any
denial. The lady in the case has
denied it, but people didn't believe.
The county clerks Office has been
besieged with inquiries as to the

FAILURE OF o. ROGoWAY.-
His Disappearance-Attachment o
Furniture Stock and Accounts.

1t would seem that the Rogoway
furniture store which was conduct
ed at the northeast corner of, Sec
ond Monroe is dead beyond any
hope of resurrection by the late
proprietor.
Nearly two weeks ago Mr.. Rog.
away took his departure from Cor
wallis with the understanding
among bis friends that he would
return in a day or two. When,
however, he did not return for a
week It became generally known
that he was swamped financially
and that bis return atany time was
beyond the range of probability.
Mrs. Rogoway bravely held the
fort. hoping the while that her hus-
band OF somebody might come to
the relief with financial reinforce
ments, but after the lapse of a week
Of torture from small creditors she
abandoned the situation and went
to Portland, where it is understood
she has well-to-do relatives. In a
letter to a Corvallis friend Mrs.
Rogoway states that she had up to
that time failed to locate her hus-
band.
Last Monday morning a note as
follows was placed on the front door
of the Rogowayi establishment by

An apartment should be seen on a

not legally secured until papers are
signed. The lease is on quarterly
basis. Payments are made in advance
the 18th Of January, April, June and
October and occupancy given up to
these dates. But when intending to
leave the tenant should give his three
months notice before the first day of
these months. Failure to do this and
neglect Of the governmental tribute of
q stamped paper hold him to further
three months liability, as many a rue

this it Is merely needful to buy
stamped sheet of paper for 8 cents Of
the tobacconist, legal vender of all
stamps, write the notice thereon and
give 1t to the landlord personally or
send 1t to him by registered letter.
The concierge, although he collects the

VENUS OF MILO.

Tho Famous Ancient Statue In the
Louvre At Paris.
The Venus Of Milo in the Louvre.
Paris, is supposed by some to be the
work Of Alexandros, one of the Asiatic
Greek sculptors. 1t Is said that the
base of the statue bearing the artists
name was destroyed for the purpose OF
causing the king Of France to believe
that the work was more ancient than
it really was.
It was discovered on the island of
Milo in 1920 by a peasant. 1t was in
a niche in a wall which had been
buried for years. The Marquis Of RI
we're bought it and gave it as a present
to Louis XVIII. Of France. It is made
from two blocks Of marble Joined above
the drapery which envelops the legs.
As it now stands 1t has two blemishes,
which have been repaired by modern
artists. The tip Of the nose was bro
ken when it was found and also the
foot which projects beyond the dra-
perry.
In point Of fact, it has q great deal
more resemblance to q goddess than
to a beautiful woman. At one time it
was dressed in clothes Of modern
sort, and the effect was anything but
pleasing. The figure Of the statue is
not at all adapted to modern Clothes

The seismic conditions that produo-
ed that great disturbance must have
originated along the Pacific Coast,
being parelleled by one occurring
in South America in 1885, and mon
toned by Charles Darwin, the nat
uralist. who said that the earth
quake ran along the western coast
Of South America for 1900 miles,
moving at the rate Of $50 miles an
hour, causing great destruction to
towns and cities, being only sur
passed by the one that recently &C.
Cured at Valparaiso, running
along the same coast. The seismic
conditions that are constantly af-
fecting the earth are confirmed by
the seismograph, which would show
that there are constant tremors pas
sing along the earth's surface at all
times, and this is owing to the fact
that positive and negative currents
of electricity are trying to maintain
an equilibrium. An excess of posi-
tive electricity in one part of the
earth will travel until it finds it's
counterpoise in a negative current,
thus maintaining an internal SER
les of currents and a per petual
unresistance.
Now, in taking leave Of a sub
ject so interesting one feels called
upon to observe that if the pent
up forces of the earth at times
become so explosive as to cause
the earth to quake, the forces
dwindle into comparative insignifi-
canoe when contrasted with the
power Of an omnipotant God, who
has sown the pollen of the stars
and by His simple fiat has Gre
ated a universe so vast that it's
center is everywhere and it's cir
conference nowhere.

The c Commercial Club.

In the organization of the large
commercial Club, composed of rep
entative and influential citizens
Worthington has taken a long step
FORWARD that cannot fail to have a
powerfu and favora bic influence on
the city's destiny. There is much
work for an organization OF this
kind. One of it's first and most i'm
n portant missions is the fostering Of
q fraternal spirit among the bus
mess people, without which no
community can attain the measure
of growth that naturally be-
longs to it. The interest and en-
thusiasm manifested in the Club on
the occasion OF the opening OF It's
club rooms bespeaks for it useful
career. When the subject OF the
formatlon of club was first broach-
ed many we're skeptical as to the
feasibility or utility of such an or
eanization, but all opposition on
that score long since disappeared.
The Club is planted on a substantial
basis and the character and number
of it's membership is alone suth-
Gent guarantee of it's success. inc
aims 1T the club are to advance the
intellectual, moral and material
welfare of Worthington and Mobiles
county, and to this end it deserves
the support OF every public spirited
and patriotic citizen.
Worthington is the natural center
for a large territory and many bus
mess and industrial enterprises
could here be launched on sue
cessful career.
