MR.. HOLMAN GETS PRESENT.
Falls City Japanese Remember!
Treasurer Each Christmas.

Fred j. Holman has a Japanese
friend at Falls City. And Mr.. Hol-
man greatly appreciates his japanese
friend for he is seldom forgotten by
that celestial when the Christmas
season comes round each year. Though
he may be heather he has a warm
spot in his heart for Christian ways
and seasons. For this Christmas Mr..
Holman received from the Japanese
a contraption to carry cigarettes. 1t
is a Japanese box with a stork stand
ing guard above. By pressing a but
ton the lip flies open and the stork
stoops over and picks up a cigarette
with his bill. The idea is an exhibi-
ton of Japanese ingenuity, and the
donor has received the thanks Of his
friend, Mr.. Holman. But as the po-
cts say, "the cause of it is because"
the popular county treasurer does not
smoke cigarettes.

PROFUSE IN HIS THANKS.
Efforts of DR.. Dunsmore at Exposi
tion Highly Appreciated.

On the eve of DR.. c. H. Dunsmore s
departure from San Francisco, where
he represented Polk county during the
exposition, George M. Hyland, manag-
ing secretary of the Oregon commits
sion, addressed him communication
in which he thanked him profusely
for his cooperation throughout the
fair. Among other things Mr.. Hy-
land said: "The interests of your dis
trict have certainly been well taken
care of by you, and you have added
materially and substantially to the
fame and distinction won by the Ore
gon organization. We have found
you at all times to be amiable, en-
thusiastic and anxious to do all that
could be done to advance our mutual
interests. This line of appreciation
is to thank you on behalf of the com
mission. as well as the writer, for all
that you have done as representative
of Polk county,

Sheriff Motors and Floats.

Sheriff John Orr had merry TIM
during the heavy rains of the frs
part of the week in travelling arount
the county in his Ford. There were
sale notices to post at independence
on Tuesday, trip to Monmouth the
same day, little jaunt to Brunk 4
corners and side trip to several 9th.
er places. In the course of his trav-
els the sheriff found many road con.
ditions, but the most displeasing were
those through which his car foated
In more than one case the water came
up over the running boards of his
car, and it was with great difficulty
that he executed the duties that he
assigned to himself. In fact he had
to discard the machine altogether for
one trip and revert to the old reli-
able horse and buggy.

School Meeting at Buena Vista.

With the assistance of Leonard J.
Allen of the o. A. c., H. II. Parsons,
rural school supervisor, conducted a
very successful and interesting meet
ing at the Buena Vista school house
on Tuesday. The children took q
great interest in the plans for carry
ing on school club work this year,
and listened intently to talks by Mr..
Parsons and Mr.. Allen, who was one
of the judges at the county fair here
last fall. Mr.. Allen is working in
the interest of the Boys and Girls
clubs in the valley, and it was as
part of the campaign of betterment
in this line conducted through the
county school office that he assisted
Mr.. Parsons on Tuesday.

STONE LIKES TO ADVERTISE.
Rush of Holiday Business Tells on
Popular Photographer.

c. B. Stone, "the photographer il
our town." has an idea that he is one
Of the few persons in Dallas who car
properly spell "busy," if actual work
and hours spent at any occupation
count in ones photographic ability
Mr.. Stone freely admits that The OBJ
server is greatly responsible for his
teaching, and in the process of learn
ing he is growing thin. Some weeks
ago Mr.. Stone mapped out really
clever advertising campaign. and the
success he has had in educating the
public to use photographs for Christ
mas gifts has not only been a surprise
to him, but has kept him at his stu
dlo from early morning until late at
night for several weeks. His business
this year has been far in excess of
any Christmas business of previous
years-he has done more advertising.
Therefore he gives credit where credit
is due, although he is entitled to much
credit himself for the style of his ad
vertising.
Where advertising matter is prop
erly prepared and published in The
Observer it brings results. Mr.. Stone
thinks of this perhaps as he labors
over an order until one or two o.
clock in the morning and goes home to
rest until five. The Christmas rush
is over, but the quality of the work
of "the photographer in our town"
remains firmly fixed in the minds of
the hundreds v no have patronized
Mr.. Stone this holiday season, and
it is no more than reasonable to be-
lieve that the effect will be the i'm
provement and increase of the pho
tographer's business throughout the
year.

MANY IN VOCATIONAL WORK.
Manual Training and Commercial
Courses Popular in Schools.

Pursuing one or more of the five
vocational courses offered in the high
schools of the state there are 1883
students, according TO a report just
issued by j. \. Churchill, superin-
tendent of public instruction. The
records of the educational department
show that the manual training and
commercial courses are the most pop
ular. Equipment used in manual
training work in Oregon is valued at
$61, ,754, while commercial course
equipment is worth S40.505.

Speedometer Sets Limit.

The ordinary functions of a speed
ometer-indicating rate of travel and
mileage already coveed-have been
augmented by third in a machine
recently evolved by an eastern man
ufacturer The new instrument is
arranged to govern the speed of the
car as the additional feature, and this
is accomplished in a simple way. In
the base of the speedometer frame is
a small barrel containing tumblers
and other mechanism of Yale lock.
Inserting the proper key in this lock
permits dial at the top to be revolv-
ed and set at any desiled figure. This
figure will thereafter represent the
speed above which the automobile
cannot go, and Withdrawing the KEY
etfectually prevents the numbers be-
ing changed.

BOOKS TO OPEN SOON
VOTERS MAY REGISTER COM.
MENCING JANUARY THREE.
Requirements and Status of Families
of Aliens-Registrars Yet to
Be Appointed.

The registration of voters open,
Monday, January 3, and closes thirty
days next preceding the primary elec
tion next May. The card index sys
tenn will be used, and the full name
of the elector must be given. County
Clerk Robinson has not as yet ap-
pointed registrars in the county, but
will do so within a few days.
The state constitutional amend
ment passed by the people at the last
election requires that all aliens must
have become fully naturalized before
being allowed to vote in this state.
Therefore, those persons who have
only their Declaration of Intention y
commonly known as first papers)
cannot legally register for elections IN
this state. This law requires that
"Final Citizenship Papers" (.om-
monty known as second papers), be
exhibited to the registration officer
before he can register them.
Some confusion may result unless
registering officers are careful in this
respect, as in many of the old forms
of naturalization papers the first pa
pers, or Declarations, are very
similar to the second or Z Final pa
pers. Under the former laws of Ore
gon, second papers were not required;
declaration of intention, or first pa
pers, being sufficient. Former reg
istrations in this county do not show
which were exhibited.
The following will give the require
ments, also the status Of the families
of aliens:
Naturalized citizens must exhibit
Final" citizenship papers. &
If the father of an alien became
naturalized before he fthe child) be-
came of age, he is a 1aturalizeo ci;,-
zen, but must exhibit the fathers pa
pers or copy of the sane from the
court issuing them.
A foreign woman, marrcd to a ciii-
zen of the United States, is citi-
zen.
AN American woman who marries a
foreigner, takes the nationality Of her
husband, and must exhibit his papers
il he becomes a naturalize citizen;
at the termination of the marital re-
lation, if she continues to reside here,
she may resume her citizenship
Foreign-born unmarried women
must be naturalized themselves after
they become p years of age, or by
their father before they became OF
age; if married to foreieney who
is naturalized, she must exhibit his
"Final" papers.
Any foreign woman who acquires
citizenship by marriage to an Amer
lean retains the same after the ter
of marital relations, if she
continues to reside here. and unless
she make formal renrncialion of citi-
zenship.
Service in the Z. S. army or navy
Of aliens does not, as is generally he
lieved, imply citizenship, unless pcti-
tion for final papers has been made
and papers issued, such service elln-
mating only the necessity of "First'
papers,

Get Your License Now.

Motorcycle and automobile licenses
will be red in 1916 and unless there
is big rush to obtain them there
will be many who will be liable to
arrest after January first. To date
the interest in getting licenses has
not been very great. The licenses
cost from 50 to so, according to the
range of horse power Those automo-
biles of 26 horse power pay 50 and
the price increases up to 40, which
costs $50. All over 40 horse power
must pay so. Motorcycles are charg-
ed s. each.

Mistletoe Snperstitions.

What superstitions cluster, thick as
its berries, round the mistletoel In
old times such were its magic powers
that it was worn as an amulet and
potent love potions were brewed from
it. 1t cured wounds, enabled any who
held it not only to see ghosts but TO
compel them to speak. And that its
magic is not all lost will be proved
this Christmastide in thousands of
our homes. where its white berries
lend sanction to the oseulatory hom-
age paid to pretty faces.

FAMOUS DETECTIVE
PUTS A QUESTION
TO ALL WOMEN

In the October Woman's Home Com
panion William J. Burns, the famous
detective, begins a series of true de-
tective stories about women. His
first story is entitled "The Woman in
the Case," and in the following gen.
eral comment which proceeds his
story he raises an interesting point:
IF you follow the reports of crime
in the newspapers you have read some
such paragraph as this a hundred
times:
"'The police finally succeeded in dis
covering a woman in One Hundred and
Twenty-frst Street, a former assoc
late of the gang. Under their ques-
tioning she broke Down and disclosed
the names of the gangs members and
their hiding place. Late last night
the place was raided: the whole out
fit was lodged in Jail. All of them re-
fused to make any statement except
Peg-Leg Brown, the leader, who said,
"Any man's'a fool that trusts a WON

"That is one type of woman with
which we who deal with crime and
criminals become very familiar-the
weak, wavering, often, but not always,
vicious companion Of bad men. She
has her own large place in the annals
Of criminal history; she is the heart Of
a thousand interesting cases.
"But the woman in the case OF
whom I shall write to-day is a very
different type. I mean the good wo-
man, the mother or sweetheart OF
sister or;daughter of the man who has
been led astray. She is just such
woman as you are, my reader.

day I should call at your house ant
