Policemen and WhIskers.

While Chicago policeman was es.
corting a woman to a patrol wagon
the other day she suddenly turned
upon him and fastened her fingers in
his whiskers. When other policemen
succeeded in rescuing him from the
perilous position into which she had
forced him against the side Of the
patrol wagon the woman held two
handfuls of whiskers and the officer
bore striking resemblance to a
partially picked chicken. II Is not
surprising that. instead Of accompany.

policeman hurried to barber shop,

his environment. but policemen should

for the new life that is shown in field

goes to divine service only on this

Proper Bookplates

The bookplate is final. II goes into
seen by you and by many. and it's by
far more satisfactory to make your
self tracing of some simple scroll
or book or shield than to own the
feeble effort of dubious craftsman.
Many are the designs to be cop
led from interesting volumes on illus
trations. There are wreaths, books,
candles, torches. lanterns, old lamps,
each with it's own significance. There
is also the knocker. which is good;
and the doorway. which is better.
Suggestions are here shown for the
inclosing, within certain lines, of the
design you may choose. The circular
scroll or shield needs no line about 1t.
The leaf and the scroll requires q
square Enclosure as a definite size for
the plate. and the owl and book (sym-
boil of wisdom and knowledge) is vast

were drawn around the edge OF q

FIRST FALL MEETING
OF LADIES' AUXILIARY

With a good number present,
showing a return of fresh interest in
the work OF civic improvement, the
Ladies' Auxiliary held its first meet
ing of the fall, after vacation of
two months. The general opinion
was that the appearance of the COM
pleted park justifies the pushing of
the work on the opposite corner as
rapidly as possible. Though the un-
happy fact was disclosed that the
expense of maintaining the park this
summer has practically depleted the
treasury, the ladies are not disheart-
ened, but are ready to devise ways
and means to secure another two or
three hundred dollars with which
to complete the northwest park If
possible this fall. There was no
doubt felt but that this should be
done before the fair though with
the present condition Of the treasury
the outlook is not very hopeful. un-
less money comes from some at pres
ent unexpected source.
The woman's department of the
fair came In for a share of discus
sion. Every effort will be made to
interest the women Of Grants Pass
and vicinity to make this one Of the
most attractive features of the fair.
Much enthusiasm was evident.
The fair as An opportunity for
adding to our park fund was also
thoroughly discussed, with the re-
sulting decision to serve good din
ner at noon each day during the
fair. This dinner will be 35 cent
dinner, and first class in every way.
Committees will be appointed imme-
diately that plans may be perfected
in good time.
Another important action was
taken which should mean much to
the future of the club. This was a
move to federate with the State Fed
Grafton of Womans Clubs. This
can be done without at all effecting
the nature and purpose of the auxil-
iary, With a wider scope of inter
est, the coming in contact with the
broad state and national movements
represented by this organization OF
woman's clubs. our own local body
can not help but experience a new
stimulus for broader activity.
