IN the interior this scheme is still

been installed.
The first floor specializes wboIIy IN
shirt waists, and the most fastidjous
shopper can find here a garment to her
liking. Crepes, Jap silks. and Iaces fill
the blouse boxes.
On the second floor are shown tho
suits and spring coats Brocades with
an thelr charm are here in profusion
rFactically all the new Spring separate
coats snow a circular frill of some
sort with fancy touch of lighter ma

frilled collar is a feature of many of
the new coats.
The suits range from the rich. bro
caded black. affected by the dowager
to the charming blues, green's. and tam
Cos of the Young girl. Here. too, are the
full-draped skirts. and the two and
three-tiered effects. Tie tafreta-and-

be sure that they will be put to some
useless or evil purpose.
To expect to successfully ingraft
the manners and habits Of an effete
civilization upon the vir1le live shoot
Of our own glorious country, even If
the shoot be feminine, is a miserable
failure. 1t speaks we'll for the rising
generation that it does not take
kindly to the effort. and it proves
that some children have more sense
than their parents.
We say that he is q "chip of the
old block" but we forget that she
is even more so.
Reason for Unrest.
The daughter of one Of the late
monarcis Of American finance Is an
other example. Everyone who knows
her says that she has inherited ker
fathers brain and her mothers
heart, a wonderful combination Of
gifts. But there is practically no
euaere for her to use and develop
the brain which she inherited from
her father. The son OF the family
has more than he can do to continue
his fathers activities, but the splen-
did gifts of the daughter are lost to
the world In the line of activities in
which her father excelled.
Nor would marriage be a possible
open door. Ninety-nine out of a
hundred she might marry would hold
the same ideas that her fathss had,
and. instead of finding opportunity,
she would have added disabilities.
No woman Of any sense desires to
neglect the things which funda-
mentally belong to her sex and
which are Of vital Importance for
those of less value, but what women
do object to. and which Is at tie
bottom Of much of the unrest felt
in every sphere Of life. is that they
have not the opportunity to use the
best that thev have for the good of
the world.

and caps they may possess. At a mat
inee recently I noticed that Mrs. Ed
ward Beale Mclean and Miss Mar.
gafet Draper have coats that are much
alike. They are Of chinchilla and are
the long roomy kind that are meant
more for comfort than style. Both OF
these young women use them for motor
ing. Miss Draper removed her coat be-
fore entering the box and I had an
opportunity to see her gown, but Mrs.
Mclean did not take her wraps of
until she was in hen pox and I did not
see her again. Miss Draper wore a
navy blue velvet brocaded chiffon gown
made with a bodice Of white lace draped
In the dark blue chiffon with touches Of
gold lace. The sleeves were made with
the modish long closely fitting sleeve
and the neck was cut squarE- Her hat
was a largo round hat made Of black
lace and velvet. The crown was made
in the new shape, probably not more
than three inches high and Of velvet.
while the brim Of the hat was partly
velvet with a black lace edge. A hand
some black aigrette on the right side
fastened close to the brim finished the
hat, the simplicity of which made it SO
becoming.

Miss Margare. Britton is wearing one
of the prettiest 'all black straw hats"
I've seen. At the the dansant at the
Shoreham the other afternoon she was
wearing this becoming hat which is
almost three-ccrnered shaped except
that the corner which comes over her
right ear was bent down and from il
fared out a black aigrette. One of the
short bunchy kind that resemble a
brush. Miss Britron's gown was of
black broadcloth with simple white
chiffon blouse. She wore a heavy gray
and white tweed top coat.

HOW JOEL AND AMOS FOUND
A HOME.-Pdrt II.

Id Pumpkin Head sat at the
top of the big hoe with the
whip in his hand. and when a
bow did not dig fast enough he
would give him a little tap with the
whip.
They dug and dug until one by one
The boys fell asleep, and when old
Pumpkin Head found the second touch
of the whip did not arouse the boy he
let him sleep for q while. and then A
smart cut from the whip would awaken
him. and he picked up his shovel ana
went TO work again.
When morning came the boys were
taken out and carried back to the room
where they had eaten the night before
and they found a good breakfast on the
table. Some of them fell asleep over
it. but when old Pumpkin Head came
they quickly awoke, and down into the
hole they went again and began dig
ging.
When they were eating their dinner
Joel asked why they were all carried
down the stairs.
He is afraid We will discover his
treasure" replied one of the boys. zone
of US stepped on the stairs one day and
a stcne rolled out from the side of the
wall and we saw something bright. No
one ever steps on those stairs but old
I'unpkin Head; we think this old place
is full of gold
But if he keeps US prisoners here.
how can We carry it off even if We
found it, asked Amos.
Il don't know" replied the boy, but
We think he is afraid Of some one; he
is always looking through the iron bars
when he is not watching US. and it
must be he is afraid of some one or
something
Who cooks our food?" asked Joel.
THAT is more than We know" said
another boy. 1--WE never have seen any
enc but old Pumpkin Head. When he
went oct to get another boy We were
locked ir a room with only a window
with the top out, and our food was put
in with Us; enough to last until he re-
turned"
Ole Pumpkin Heads came in Just then
and Joel and Amos learned no more
that dav about their strange home and
ms ster.
The digging and sleeping went on
the same that day and the next, but

Lling on lne tilru DAY, and while they
did not say anything to the others. they
were sure they had found the treasure
Tor which old Pumpkin Head was max
ing them dig.
When they went in 10 dinner they
had hardly began to eat when old
Pumpkin Head burst into the room and
shouted: Come out, come out; no time
for eating. You must dig. dig, Dig
And this time he grabbed an armful
OF boys. he was in such hurry.
Into the hole he went, too. when the
boys were all in. and with his great
hands he made the dirt fly faster than
the shovels.
He was digging right where Amos and
Joel had felt something strike their
shovels, and soon Pumpkin Head began
TO shout and laugh. and the boys began
TO shout and laugh. and the boys saw
the top of the big iron chest.
Il have found it; ! have found it,
cried old Pumpkin Head, and taking
two boys at a time in his great hands
he threw them out OF the hole and
climbed out after them.
He would not leave one of them Their.
while ne carried the others upstairs this
with his whip SO fast their feet scarcely
touched the stairs.
But this time they did not 90 to the
room where they ate. He drove them in
another direction and opened an iron
door.
The boys went into the room and the
door closed after them with a bang
and they found themselves in a room
OF stone, with only one window. and
that 50 high they could not reach il
even by one boy standing on the Should
oTs of another.
But the boys were too sle@ny t. Cacr
much. and soon all the boys Were fast
asleep on the stone and earth floor.
How long they slept they never knew.
but they had been 50 long without sleep
that they slept on and on, and soundly.

at last and he called the others, and
then they discovered they were Ne-y

and no one came.
After waiting all one day Joel pro
posed that one boy stand on the shoul-

But all their calling was IN vain. No

None Of us are very fat" said joel.
Il think one of US could squeeze through
the bars if We knew how hign up we

That is So said one of the boys.
But you may be sure we are high up.
Old Pumpkin Head would have thought
Of that. We might get through the

We can heartily endorse the SEN
timents expressed at the last meeting
Of the Commercial Club when the
question of properly advertising the
home community was up for discus
sion. The country newspaper is be-
ginning to come to the front and re-
ceive the recognition that is its due,
and perhaps in the future the local
paper will receive a portion of the
money that has heretofore gone to
the printers Of finely illustrated
booklets and descriptive matter that
Is largely discounted when it reaches
Its destination. The Heppner Com
mercial Club seems to be favoring the
proposition of spending some money
on subscriptions to the local news
papers and having them sent in con-
siderable numbers to various local
tiles in the East and Middle West.
This is practical. There Is nothing
overdrawn about the weekly report
OF events, and the recital of the con-
ditions of the times and seasons as
they come along is given without ex-
aggeration and the paper thus be-
comes true index to the conditions
and life OF the community and is so
taken and accepted by the outsider
who may be contemplating coming
west.

OUR FUTURE is GREAT.

In his journey about the county
the past week, Mr.. o. E. Freytag was
wonderfully impressed with the big
ness" of this section. 1t was his first
visit here. Morrow county has splen-
did farms and they are growing bet
ter, yet Mr.. Freytag could not help
but notice that our people are still
far from getting the returns they are
entitled to. Like many others, he is
positive that the most of the farms
are far too big; this fact alone max
ing 1t impossible to get the best re-
turns per acre. This implies that we
need many more people here and
these of the sort that are willing to
work the land as it should be. Mr..
Freytag does not speak from mex
perience, for he is man we'll versed
in agriculture, horticulture and stock
raising. He has seen other sections
OF this state developed far beyond
the expectations of the original
settler" and has had no small part
in this development; and these sub
jects are receiving his best thought
and constant attention.
He noted with pleasure that the
poultry industry is being pushed
throughout the county, yet this is an
infant here. Mr.. Freytag urges more
thorough and earnest effort of our
farmers in this line. In order to
stimulate this industry and to fully
illustrate and demonstrate the best
methods in poultry production, Mr..
Freytag will conduct a special exhi-
bition at the coming Morrow County
Fair. He will put stress upon the
proper grading and culling out of the
fowls and show the best manner of
handling poultry in order that the
business may be made to pay the best
returns. He wants to see this indus
try grow and prosper here for he has
yet to see section anywhere that
equals Morrow county for the produc-
tion of poultry. Conditions here are
ideal, and Mr.. Freytag is enthusias-
tic over it.

BAD FOR WINDJAMMER.

Bro. Stewart, of the Fossil Journal
having been invited to address the
citizens of Lonerock as orator of the
day at their recent celebration, was
unable to attend, and expressed re-
grets through his paper as follows
The journal editor regrets exceed
ingly that he was unable to celebrate
with the good people of Lonerock on
July 4th, who had invited him to de-
liver the oration on that occasion.
But although 1t was the editors in
tention to be there, he did not prom
ise to crate, and would have done so
under protest, as there is nothing left
nowadays for an Independence Day
spellbinder to spellbind about. 1t
was all right, and no trick at all, as
long as it was the national custom on
the Fourth to pull the lions tail and
metaphorically smite John Bull hin
and thigh, but it would hardly look
well for us to go over to Lone Rock
and give John Hail Columbia, 4"
when our Government is slepin with
John and lovin' him half to death,
and has made him a present of our
Canal, our home markets, and a
whole lot of other etceteras, includ-
ing a shipload Of our fairest and rich
est damsels to feather his nest and
put some vigorous red into the en-
feebled blue Of his blood. Gone for
ever is the screaming Eagle, with the
firecracker and the bomb, and per-
haps It's better so, but it is certainly
hard on the windjammer.

OPTIMISM,

To look on the bright side of life
and its affairs with an enthusiastic
belief that everything is all right and
for the best is ideal. This is espec-
tally true as it applies to those who
come into contact with the sick. A
physician, above all men, should be
an optimist-ready to stimulate hope
even though he may not have it him
self. Hopefulness in the countenance
and optimism in the words and ac-
tions of the physician are as sunshine
in the sick-room; they stimulate
hopefulness of recovery in the sick
and a courage that often has DO
tent influence for good. Even when
recovery is not often possible, ac-
cording to the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association, good, not
harm is done. Hope makes life
worth living while it lasts. The psy-
chic influence is always felt so long
as consciousness remains. Paget,
speaking of hypochondriacs, says:
Your chances of doing good will
depend mainly on the skill with
which you can influence the patient s
mind; for of the components of his
case the mental condition is the
worst.
