MERCHANTS COMPLAIN Of
RECEIVING MANY BAO EGGS

several merchants Of late have
complained about being imposed
upon by some farmers in the
matter of bringing in bad eggs.
The law provides that eggs shall
be distinctly marked before sale,
with date of laying. that pur-
chasers may know the age of the
eggs bought.
To do all the law requires
would mean that no bad eggs
could be sold as fresh eggs and
the fresh ones would bring the
market price at all times. The
merchant complains for the
principal part for the reason
that he has no means of knowing
the age of the eggs brought to
his store and he disposes of them
to his customers as fresh eggs,
when in fact they are not. This
places all the blame on him and
he thinks it but fair that the one
who brings the eggs in to him
should stand a portion of the
blame at least.

METHOD|STS DEDICATE
ROUND BUTTE CHURCH

A splendid company of people
gathered in the Round Butte
church last Saturday evening for
the first dedication exercises. DR..
Edward Laird Mills was unable to
be present but his place was ably
filled by DR.. George D. Wolfe Of
Butte.
After the first quarterly con-
ference of the year, speeches
were made by DR.. Wolfe, Rev.
Newman, Rev. Bovee and Rev.
Ross, which were thoroughly en-
joyed by the congregation. Fol-
lowing this service, refreshments
were served by the Ladies' Aid.
An ideal day greeted the r co
pie for their dedication on Sun
day. Bright and early the people
were seen coming from all direc-
tions to join in the celebration.
The congregations at all the SER
vices averaged from IS to 100
people. The morning sermon was
preached by DR.. Wolfe. his sub
ject being prayer. 1t was a
sermon that reached the heart of
his people so that when the invi-
tation was given for reception Of
members thirty-fve persons went
forward. The sacrament of the
Lords supper was then admins
tered. DR.. Wolfe was assisted by
Rev. Ross and Rev. Tester of
Leon.
The Sunday school met at 2::30
and splendid address on the
subject of Habit" was delivered
by Rev. Newman. Following the
Sunday school the afternoon SER
vice was held, DR.. Wolfe again
preaching, his subject being
The Supreme Christ" This
was probably the best sermon Of
the day from an intellectual stand
point. 1t was beautiful in thought
and delivered by one who had
mastered his subject. The report
was then read by Rev. Ross show
ing an indebtedness Of 500 with
$50 more needed for improve
ment. In less than Is minutes
the necessary amount was raised.
A thanksgiving was then the
order of the day. This was led
by Rev. Tester and was a great
service, fitting climax to the
splendid services theafternoon.
The Epworth League was ad-
dressed by Rev. c. M. Bovee of
Poison, an interesting speaker.
and his address was we'll receiv-
ed.
The evening service followed
and one more member was re-
ceived into the church after an
other good sermon by DR.. Wolfe
the trustees presented the church
for dedication. This marked the
close Of an eventful day in the
life of many an individual and
also in the life of the whole COM
munity. Communicated.

FIRST APPLES FROM THE
RAYMOND HEIGHTS TREES

The first apples to be raised
from the Raymond Heights or
chard Of Stanley Scearce and A.
M. 1hornburgh was brought in
Tuesday by NJ. a. Allison who
has charge Of the orchard at this
time. These apples are from
three and four year old trees and
show what the country will pro
duce.
This orchard is three miles
northeast of town and is locate d
in the edge Of the timber, where
it is said the best horticultural
land Of the west is to be found,
and if the sample Of apples
shown are a criterion Of what is
to come hereafter, when the
trees have reached bearing,
age, then the facts are no place
can excel the region around Ro-
nan for growing fine apples.
Some Of the apples were of the
Wolf River variety, grown on a
four year old tree, and the other
Mcintosh Reds, from three year
old trees. The apples brought
in were not ready for picking
but the high wind on Monday
night shook them off.
