HUSBAND MISSING;
wife IS ALARMED
John B. Weersing Left
Home June 8 and Has Not
Been Heard From.

Mrs. John b weersing is alarmed
and highly nervous over the continued
absence of her husband, whose where
abouts she is unable to ascertain.
Mrs. Weersing states that on the
evening Of June 8, he bade her good
bye as usual to go down town from
their home on the bench. She asked
him when she might expect him home
and he replied that he did not know
Since then she has neither seen nor
heard Of him except that friends have
told her that he was seen to take the
train at .: 40 o'clock the next morning
She states that Mr.. Weersing has
had serious financial difficulties of
late. but that their home life was en-
tirelv happy and that they have never
had any family troubles but that he
has always been very good to her. she
says that if she can locate him she can
adjust his financial troubles and relieve
him Of that anxiety.
weerslng has figured in the courts
frequently during the last few months,
both on account of financial troubles
and because Of the effort of former
wife to force payment OF alimony for
the care of their minor child which
is in the possession Of the first Mrs.
weersing. At one time he was cited
before the court for contempt because
of his failure to pay the amount or
dered but he escaped punishment
upon an arrangement whereby certain
persons owing him should pay the sum
to the clerk Of the court, upon his
showing of financial inability to pay
The present Mrs. Weersing states
that he had become respondent over
his troubles and that is why she is SO
nervous at his absence. She states
that at one time he spoke of going to
Portland, but she has had the shelf
there seek him without success.

CUNNINGHAM COMPANY SELLS
BUCK WOOL AT HIGHER PRICE

With the sale of $4,000 pounds OF

first actual transaction in Umatilla

factory. AS figured by ]. n. Burgess,
manager of the Cunningham Co., the
price is one cent pound better than
the price received for the same wool
last season. This despite the fact the
selling price reads the same.
"The wool this year was 60 per cent
from old bucks" says Mr.. Burgess,
"and 40 per cent from. young bucks.
Last year rs per cent of our buck wool
was from young bucks. Therefore II
was of better grade and consequently
the price this year Is an advance. The
buyers discount the old buck wool one
third but take the young buck wool al
the market price. AS our buck wool
last year was chiefly from young
bucks and the facts are just the re-
verse this year I estimate we secured
cent more for the wool than We did
last year. After We sold the buck
wool last year the price dropped two
cents pound"
The Cunningham buck wool was
bought by Mr.. Bicknell for Charles

shipment made one carload.

a man has a good moral character

speaker, You may think it pretty
loose and broad, but | agree with that,
but first we must know what strict
iy moral character is and IL a man can
attain such out of Jesus Christ.
Now what is moral character
Character is not what we seem to be
to ourselves and neighbors, but what
We are in Gods sight. Reputation
is what people see and say about us
moral character is what God sees and
knows about us. and about our secre.

list began to show that before the
moral man would get very far into
judgment he would strike two noun
tains. one Sinai representing Gods
law, the other Calvary representing
the sincless life of Christ and his
death for sin. For said he. THE
moral man must be blameless before
the law in every particular. Thus
Adam was before the fan. But Christ's
sinless life who came to condemn sin
in the flesh stands as our Judge. He
