thrill her with his story. 1t was just
like a w0man-to go meandering off
the subject with such a question as
that. 1T was nigh 3 O'clock. and he
was passing the postoffice when he
sees two men sneaking around the cor
ner of the building under the south
winders. So constable h0llers at EN-,
ind they turned and scooted across the
salt medders towards the shore. Like
enough. they had a boat in the bay
somewheres. | reckon they'll come
back again, so you better keep locked
up. Miss LOUSY he ended maliciously
as he went down the path swinging
his milk can.
Lord. helpT' painted Miss Louisa as
she closed the kitchen door. She was
mortally afraid of burglars. although
in her fifty-1ve years experience she
had never net n of the INSCRIPTIONS
clan. Nevertheless she waY always on
the lookout for them.
She lived nil alone in a large house
at the head of the long village street.
In front of her gate a road ran north
to the harbor. where it abruptly ended
at high tide mark, and to the south
through the woods and finally wriggled
into the adjoining village of Melton.
This road was seldom used. for there
was "a broad highway at the other end
of the village. So Miss Louisa Dodge
and her few neighbors had the Back
road to Themselves.
Louisa Dodge was a maiden lady and
rich. according to the standards of
Roseport. but she vas careful of her
money and would not spend any of 1t
in hiring servants. 1t was true that a
colored woman came in daily to do her
homework, but Miss Louisa slept alone
in the house and spent many long,
lonely evenings there in spite of the
fact that she had four nephews who
were married and had families. Lou
lisa was not fond of children. which
perhaps explained why she was mitch
alone, although the nephews and their
wives regarded her with much respect.
Louisa FASTENED into the sitting room
and went to the telephone.
First she called her nephew Adam
Rev.
ADAM" she said shakily when his
big voice doomed back an answer, 'the
milkman told me about there being
burglars in town. Now, l have a rea-
son for believing that my house is 60
ing to be entered tonight. l want you
to find a good place and watch it, and,
If you can, prevent any n from get
ting in. If you catch him or keep him
away-I don't care which-why, l
won't forget you, Adaml You know
my will amt made yetr' she ended
suggestively.
Eyes. Aunt Louisa" replied Adam
meekly, I'm look out for the villain.
Don't you worry and don't lose a wink
of sleep over it. Don't you want to
come down here and sleep tonight or
let Agatha come I'VE and sleep with
ycu?" Agatha was his Oldest girl.
NO." returned Louisa sharply. Il
don't want anybody to sleep here.
Only do as l ask. Watch around and
keep 'em away from the house."
II can do that" returned Adam rath-
er shortly
Within the next half hour Aunt Lou
lisa had called her three remaining
nephews-Hiram Penny. Henry Fields
and William Dodge-and with each one
she made the same arrangement. Each

AS for Miss Louisa's will-weIl. it

It's hidden pages we would discover
that her property is to be divided

four nephews.
And it has been told that Miss Lou

nights doings with much relish to her
bosom friend, and that the story went
the rounds Of the village goes without
saying.

 "A wedding of interest to a large
 circle of Council Bluffs folks was solemnized Monday evening at s O. lclock at the Second Presbyterian church, when Dr. George A. Ray pastor of that church, performed the ceremony which united in marriage his daughter, Helen M., mad Mr. Will bur H. Pansing of Morenci, Arizona
 The church was, filled to overflowing and about 300 people attended the re. ception which was held imm ediately afterward at the adjoining home of Dr.. and Mrs. Ray.
 Palms and large boquets of pink and white roses made beautiful decor ations at the church. Preceding the ceremony Mrs. Charles Eek of Miamis- burg, O., sister of the groom sang 70, Promise Me-" Miss Francis Under wood of Omaha presiding at the piano, and later playing the wedding march. Following the solo the church choir of nearly twenty young women all dressed in white, marched in singing the Lohrengrin bridal chor- us.
 Miss Millie Nunamaker of Omaha was bridesmaid and wore a dainty gown of pink chiffon and lace, with tiny toque of pink tulle. She carried an arm bouquet of pink roses. She was followed by the two little flower girls, Connie Dyer and Virginia Will son, who wore cunning Kate Green way gowns of white with pink rib bons and pink tulle bonnets, and car ried French baskets of pink rose pet als which they scattered in the path of the bride.
 ''The bride was lovely in a gown of French embroidery and lace. Her court train was of lace and her long julie veil arranged in a cap form, ex- tended to the end of her train and was finished in a series of scallops. She carried a boquet of roses and flies of the valley.

 In a recent communication to his father, J. w. Brighton, Harris Brigh-
 ton writes that he has arrived safely
 in England and is now stationed at the Shorncliffe camp with the recruits where they are training and will later join the allies at the front Harris
 was attending Mcdonald Agricultural college in Montreal and at the call for more recruits volunteered his services and left in company with hundreds of
 others for England. The contingent
 to which he belongs goes to reinforce
 the Princess Patricia regiment, of
 which there are now only 73 fit for ac-
 tive duty. He will leave in about
 three weeks for France to finish his training after which his regiment will
 be sent to the reserve trenches at the front where activity will begin in earnest. Harris will be remembered by the older residents of Morenci as he lived here with his father when a boy and his career will be watched with interest by all who knew him at that time.

Troubles of a Judge

At 2:3O o'clock Wednesday morning the beautiful moonlight atmosphere
 was punctured with a series of earthly
 wailings and nerVe-racking shrieks
 similar to that of a Iost soul. The
 noise continued intermittently for half an hour until everyone on D. hill was
 aroused from their slumber and in-
 quiring the cause. The local justice
 was routed from his slumbers by an angry neighbor and asked if he could
 quiet the disturber and the judge, clad in pajamas and slippers, trekked
 down to the plaza where he found an auto in which was seated a young man from Clifton industriously working the horn and attempting to keep awake at the same time. The judge looked ahead but found the road clear and up on asking the young man his reason for rousing the populace was inform ed that he was honking for his chauffeur who was at large in the camp. After an admonition to crawl in the back seat and take nap while waiting for the engineer in lieu of be- ing locked up in the local bastile, the young man complied with the request and quiet was once more restored, the citizens retiring to take up the broken threads of their dreams.

However as stated in the begin

terest that is again being aroused in
our community over this creamery
proposition, and hope that by inves-
tigation and the proper interchange

will ultimately bring us this industry,

good thing for our community and
the one industry that is going to
bring prosperity to our surrounding

Let us keep the ball rolling, and
always with the idea of bringing
about the best results. We are in a
position to profit by the mistakes
others have made. and we will do so,
and this paper is not standing in q

A NEW COMMISSION.

Everybody will watch with interest
the result of the hearing before the
Trade Commission. 1t is announced
that the commission will try and as
certain what is the matter with
commerce" in the United States and
between trade centers of our coun-
try. 1t is really laughable to watch
one of those high brow commissions
sit in solemn conclave to discuss
What is the matter with commerce"
when any smart schoolboy who has
read the daily papers could show
them in ten minutes how the same
politicians who created this latest
commission have created dozens of
others like it which have so burden
ed industry with useless regulations
that there is practically no commerce
left to regulate. So far all the com
mission has done has been to tell the
manufacturers, lumbermen and fruit
growers what they could not do"
and they held up the development Of
foreign business at every turn. They
have not advanced single idea that
would get dollars worth of bust
ness or maintain a single payroll.
They are supposed to laid the manu-
facturer and producer in securing
markets" Watch them and see if
they add enough business to the
Northwest to pay the taxpayers for
the expense of their trip out here.

POLICIES ARE BROADER.

A determined effort is being made
by the United States Forestry Bureau
to gain the good will of Oregon and
other western states. says C. c. Chap
man in the Oregon Voter.
Cooperation with counties for the
construction of roads into and thru
national forests is one evidence of
this.
Another evidence is the manner in
which grazing privileges are being
handled. Many stockmen say they
prefer the present method of range
control to the old hap-hazard graz
ing with its contentious and occasion
Another evidence is the willing
al bloodshed.
ness of the chief forester, Mr.. Graves,
to set aside a portion of the national
forest along the Columbia River
Highway for park.
These broad policies of co-opera-
ton should be encouraged, but let us
not lose sight of the fundamental fact
that the forest reserve system in its
essence holds back large areas of the
state from taxation and such develop
ment that results after land has pass
ed into private ownership.
In recognizing the fine spirit of
cooperation that is making itself
manifest under Mr.. Graves enlight-
ened administration, IN contrast with
Mr.. Pinchot's academic and narrow
methods, we must not tie ourselves
up to the political policy of holding
large part of our state out of tax
alton.
An enlightened monarch is a good
ruler. A liberal bureau chief at
Washington is an excellent manager
But we of America do not wish to
be governed by king, and we of Ore
gon do not assent to the principle OF
keeping large part of our state un-
taxed under federal control. Even if
we do make our mistakes, we prefer
to make them ourselves in our own
way rather than be governed from
afar in our local affairs.
