sionary who had taken his fancy marked the trees and rocks. and by following these he reached the mis- sien. Here he had his first taste Of cake and pie. and needless to say tiie cake and pie were as much an attrac- tion to the boy as the school itself
 Then every day saw him at the mis- sion. A short time afterward his fa-, tfer cflanced to find him there and threatened to kill him if he ever went to the school again. In spite Of this threat, which he knew would surely be carried out, he did go again. and kept on going. Several weeks later his father appeared In the mission again. A number of Indian boys were sitting around the little missionary. Drawing his knife, the angered parent seized the little missionary and would have killed her if RaiH-in- -the-Face hadn't knocked him down with chair. They bound him with ropes and car ried him outside,
 The boy now had no home, no where to go, and so he was taken in by the missionaries and brought up as a Christian.
 Today he is seeking aid to enable him to perfect his studies and to re- turn as a missionary to his own people. 4 collection was taken at the meet ing.

 Gives Secretary Wide Power.

Cennecticut's motor vehicle law gives the secretary of state wide pow CTS over the operators of automobiles. In the state this year there have been 1f0 deaths. ten of which were those of operators killed in their own cars, five of which were caused by oper- ators not identified and four of which were cause dby unlicensed operators.
 For the other deaths the licenses of 93 operators were suspended, 73 of these licenses--which illustrates the fairness with which the law works having been returned upon the exon eration of the the operator. Nineteen licenses are still held by Secretary of State Charles D. Burnes, eleven of the cases being on court calendars for trial.
 Altogether out of 76. cases investi- gated. in 606 of which hearings were held, the licenses of 357 operators have been suspended. Of these 108 have been suspended indefinitely or revoked entirely, in addition to the registra- Hons of four cars. The principal causes other than killing were these:
 Reckless driving 192, driving while intoxicated 69, evading responsibility II, obtaining licenses under age 5, al- lowing persons under age to operate 8, physical unfitness ', transferring markers f, loanipg licenses 8, taking cars without owners permission 8, improper lights and serious accidents

INDIAN CHIEF TOLD
 STORY OF HIS CONVERSION. Chief Rain-in- -the-Faoe Speaker at Y.
 M. c. A. Meeting.


 Before large audience in the r. M. c. A. assembly hall Sunday afternoon at 3.S0 o'clock. Chief Rain-in- the Trace, a converted Cherokee Indian, told his dfe's story in an interesting and grip ping manner. How he, as mere child, was harshly forbidden to, attend the little mission school in Oklahoma, the home state of his tribe, and how he came very near being killed by has father because he persisted in visiting the school, and how he was finally forced to seek shelter and food with the missionaries were few of the things the Indian chief told his hear CTS.
 Chief Rain-in -the- Face was born in the southwestern part of Oklahoma on Dec. 22, 1865, far away from civiliza- ton and the white man. His people had never heard of God nor Of Jesus; their god was the sun and to the sun they addressed their prayers and sup plications. They knew no better. said the4 Indian chief. they had no one to teach them, no one to lead them. When Chief Rain-in- the-Face was about Il years old a white missionary visited his fathers wigwam; his visit was very unwelcome and his life was threatened unless he departed. An other missionary came. His visit was just as unwelcome, and he fared even worse, for he received the full force of q heavy club in the hands of the In- dian chiefs grandmother.
 Then young girl visited the wig wam and gave to Rain-in- -the-FAce the first orange he had ever eaten. His father was not at home and the girl missionary was safe. She invited the little Indian boy to the mission school and with much misgiving he consented to go. He dared not openly tell his father where he was going. He did not know the way. but the pretty mis-

A greater evidence of partisan poll
ssics is at present being displayed
among the "Young America" of Hood
River than among the elders. The
small boys of the lower city residence
section have organized "Hughes
Army" A little log house, formerly
the playhouse of the daughters of S.
E. Bartmess, was commandeered as
chief fort.
Tuesday night a contingent Of boys,
residents of the Heights section, who
have organized the "Wilson Army"
attacked the fort. Kelsay Slocom and
William Young, chief scouts Of the
Hughes forces, warned of the approach
of the attackers, rallied some dozen of
their fellow fighters to the defense of
the fortification. A strong rubber
band at the breech end of a piece of
woodstave water pipe, which was
thrust through a window of the log
hut. was used in effectively hurting
the plentiful acorn ammunition at the
foe. Attacked and attackers alike
made use OF the acorns in bean shoot
ers.
The battle. raging until the young
sters grew tired. brought out numerous
spectators.

The temperature in the storage room is

an hour, they succeeded in attracting
the attention of an orchardist who had
