MOTHERS GR|EvE
IN TWO HOMES
HOWARD DAY AND ALFRED
FULLER ARE MISSING.
All Efforts to Learn Whereabouts of
Youths Who Ran Away From This
City Fruitless.

Two Dallas mothers are worrying
and grieving for sons who have left
home to see the world and have neg
lected to send back word that they
are all right The latest disappear
ance was that of Howard Day, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Day, who has
been gone since last Sunday after
noon. Search has been made for him
in Portland and Salem by his broth
er, Earl, but without results. From
the tenor of his inquiries made some
Weeks before his departure, it is
thought that he is on his way to visit
an aunt in Los Angeles, California.
Although he is but IL years old, he
is six feet in height and is able to
take care of himself, but that does
not lessen the mothers anxiety.
Another Absentee.
No trace has been found of Alfred
Fuller, who has been away from his
home here since August Is. He is
the son of Mrs. Clara Fuller and IS
but 13 years old. The police of Port
land and other places have beeen no
titled to be on the lookout for him,
but all to no purpose. He left here
to pick hops in a yard three miles
south Of Salem in Marion county,
and when leaving there said he was
on his way to the coast. Mrs. Full
Ter is naturally much alarmed over
his continued absence, and will glad
ly welcome news concerning him.

After only a few days of active
soliciting for business for the Prog

to annOunc that the success OF the
big issue is assured.
The business interests appreciate
the fact that a high class illustrated
magazine number such as this, with

dium of local publicity and this, to-
gether with the advantages that are
bound to accrue to the city and
county as a whole from the thOus-
ands of copies that will be mailed to
parties outside of the state, enables
the citizens who patronize the Issue
to "kill two birds with one stone"
as il were.
The Observer Is pledged to make
this Progress Edition one that will
be in every sense a credit to Dallas
and Polk county, as well as TO our
selves.

In the Old Colony days, in Plymouth
the land of the Pilgrims,
To and fro in a room of his simple
and primitive dwelling,
Clad in doublet and hose, and boots OF
Cordovan leather,
Strobe, with a martial air, Miles
Standish, the Puritan Captain.
Buried in thought he seemed, with his
hands behind him, and pausing
Ever and anon to behold his glitter
: ing weapons of warfare,
Hanging in shining array along the
walls of the chamber
Cutlass and corselet Of steel, and his
trusty sword of Damascus,
Curved at the point and inscribed with
its mystical Arabic sentence,
While underneath, in a corner, were
fowling- piece, musket, and match
" lock.
Short of stature he was, but strongly
built and athletic,
Broad in the shoulders, deep-chested,
with muscles and sinews of iron !;
Brown as nut was his face, but his
russell beard was already

treated. the front giving way, too.
And the immortal Twelfth Legion was
crowded so closely together
There was no room for their swords?
Why, he seized shield from q
soldier,
Put himself straight at the head Of
his troops, and commanded the
captains,
Calling each by his name, to order
forward the ensigns;
Then to widen the ranks, and give
more room for their weapons;
So he won the day, the battle of some
thing-or-other.
That's what always say: If you wish
a thing to well done,
You must do it yourself, you must not
leave it to others"
All was silent again; the Captain
continued his reading.
Nothing was heard in the room but
the hurrying pen of the stripping.
Writing epistles important to go next
day by the Mayfower,
Filled with the name and the fame of
of the Puritan maiden Priscilla;
Every sentence began or closed with
the name of Priscilla,
Till the treacherous pen, to which he
confided the secret,
Strove to betray 1t by singing and
shouting the name of Priscilla!
Finally closing his book, with a bang
of the ponderous cover,
Sudden and loud as the sound of sol
der grounding his musket,
Thus to the young man spake Miles
Standish, the Captain of Ply.

when you have finished your work,

tell you.
Be not, however, in haste; can wait;

folded the last of his letters,
Pushing his papers aside, and giving
respectful attention:
Speak; for whenever you speak,
am always ready to listen,
Always ready to hear whatever per.

Thereupon answered the Captain, en-
barrassed. and culling his phrases:
"'Tis not good for a man to be alone,

This I have said | efore, and again
and again I repeat it;
Every hour in the day, think it, and
