county in general and Vancouver in

BREAKFAST IN GLEN PARK

A very unique and charming
breakfast was given Saturday morn
ing at Glen Lodge, in honor of the
| teachers of the Normal and Public
schools.
The hostesses, Mrs. P. w. Ramer,
Mrs. A. D. Shepard, Mrs. c. E.
Shepard and Mrs. w. J. Gray, re-
ceived the guests at the entrance to
the Lodge. The tables were artis-
tically arranged in a large semi
circle, with one table in the center,
upon which was a huge jardinere
filled with lilacs. Bowls of violets
made the smaller tables attractive.
In keeping with their rustic sur
roun dings, the guests found their
places by means of odd little cards
of birch bark.
After very dainty breakfast had
been served, Rev. Mr.. Gray, as toast
master, called upon Professor Hime-
Itch, who responded to toast on,
Things New and DID," in a very
thorough and pleasing manner.
Rev. Mr.. Farrell, Field Secretary of
the Wisconsin Christian Endea7or
League, next responded with a
bright and witty appreciation of
River Falls, Glen Lodge, and people
whom he had met. Principal ]. w.
T. Ames, with THE Universe as
his subject, showed how SMALL the
earth really is; that no matter where
one goes, he will always find some
one he knows. Professor Kuenning
followed this by toast, Our Lady
Associates, and was requested by
the POSTMASTER to stick to his sub
ject, which he did, with one or two
exceptions. Professor ]. H. Ames
concluded the program with toast
to the "Hostesses," which ex-
pressed the sentiments of all the
guests, who felt that this happy &C.
casion would form a pleasant men,
DRY to look back upon.

Pure Air For Tires

Every one who knows about the
characteristics of rubber knows that
very little oil will soon spoil it for
use. They also realize the impos-
sibility of getting clean air from an
oily pump direct. The detrimental
effect of impure air in auto tires is
probably very much underestimate.
Believing this to be a fact we have
taken pains to attach to our COM
pressor an air purifier. By this
means the air from the compressor
passes through about two feet Of
six inch gas pipe which is filled with
fresh quicklime with alternate layers
of coarse fabric. 1t then passes in
to large pressure tank.
We have piped this air out to the
street for the benefit Of all drivers
who wish to use it. There is a
pressure gauge near where the hose
is attached to the tire and a globe
valve Immediately back of the
gauge SO you can tell exactly how
much pressure you have in your
tire while it is being filled and you
can shut it off Immediately on reach
ing the proper pressure.
We have taken some trouble to
install this outfit. The air is very
handy, perfectly clean; there is lots
of it under good pressure and there
is no charge attached to the proper
use of it.
Please understand that this con-
venience is not for our customers
any more than for anyone else. You
do not obligate yourself to us in the
least by making use of this little
convenience.
Please call and we shall be glad
to show you how to use it.
