Died With the Diary.

There are other instances | could
mention of the value of the expense ac-
count in economy and thrift. My maid
told me the other day that she needed
a new broom. l showed her by refer
ence to my expense account for the
house that it had been only very
little while since she had had a
new broom, and l insisted that brooms
in my house will have to last longer
and so they will, too"
The popularity of the old-fashloncd
personal expense account died with the
use of the diary. In the old days
every one kept both. No less a per-
sonaee than George Washington was
addicted to the habit. Among his rel
les are several such accounts. carefully
written. AS the Washington woman
quoted above says:
To-day we spend our nickels and
dimes without bothering much about
them. so in these days of high prices
why not revive the expense account!
Let any one total the amounts that
need not have been spent, and the re-
suit will be surprising"

Il know l felt that l would not want
my boys and girls to see anything on
my expense account that they could
say was unnecessary, and ever since
we have been keeping these books our
purchases have fallen off. and our eX-
penditures have fallen off, too.
This was instanced in connection

in succession the item Car fare, D

and some one asked, Why does the
item not read. Car fare. six tickets,
25 cents? Well. it seemed that this
boy had had his gloves on several
times in a street car when the con-
ductor was waiting for his fare, and
as a nickel was the fist coin his gloVed
fingers came upon he paid the car rare,
5 cents rather than take off the glove

COMPANY G TO

Local Militia Organiza-

SENT TO MOBILIZE
Jobs of Cuardsmen Will
Be Kept Open for
Them Here

The trouble with Mexico, which at
present writing looks like impending
war, was brought home to Aberdeen
as to most communities in the United
States when orders were received by
Capt. H. A. Comeau, Co. G, End Reg,
N. G. w., to take his command to
American lake next Sunday morning
to join the mobilization camp of the
state militia.
Captain Comeau and the other Of
ficers of the local militia organization
Immediately busted themselves in
starting a campaign to recruit Com.
pany G to war strength, 142 men.
This, it is likely, will have been ef>
fected by tomorrow night. The men
will depart for Amer'c-, ,ara al s.30
o'clock Sunday morning. i
While border patrol probably will be
the most strenuous duty which the
militia Of the country will be com.
PEELED to face, there are possibilities
OF its being sent into Mexico. In any
event, the willingness shown by mill
owners, logging camps and other EN-.
ployers of labor to keep the jobs open
for guardsmen while they are upon
duty Is to be commended.

KAFFIR BOY CHOIR
COMES TO HARB0R
With CHAUTAUQUA
Will Give Big Program
on Closing Night of
Course

OF the many numbers to come with
the Chautauqua to Grays Harbor this
season probably no one attraction has
excited so much enthusiasm and in.
terest as the Kaffir boy choir. 1t is
not the kind of attraction that one
would expect to see and hear most
any place and it is not strange that
folks have been directing a score of
questions at the chautauqua commit
tee in an attempt to find out just what
these interesting little fellows will do
on the closing night of the chautauqua.
In the first place, they are real
Kaffirs. They were brought to Amer
lea from Africa by J. H. Balmer, a
man who has spent over thirty years
of his life among these people. In
the short time the Kaffir boys have
been away from Africa they have
appeared before hundreds of thou
sands of people in America and have
been given great ovations from one
end of the land to the other. They
sing songs, both native and English
and they sing the English songs re-
markably we'll for Kaffirs. They are
unable to speak in English and have
memorized after many months of
studying the songs they do sing in our
tongue. They give war songs and ma
tive love songs and carry with them
many trophies of Kaffir battles, in
Guiding hides and pelts of many native
animals.
They will give an entire evening pro-
gram on the closing night of the chau-
tauqua and several have ventured to
suggest that the big brown tent will
be more than crowded to capacity on
the Kaffir boy choir night of the big
week.

STRIKE HURTING
LUMBER EXPORTS
No Chance Apparent for
Breaking Deadlock
Very Soon

Lumber exports from Grays Harbor
will suffer this month from the long.
shoremen's strike. 1t is likely they
will be smaller than in any Of the
months during the dullest times the
Harbor has experienced in recent
years.
There is no chance of the deadlock
existing in the strike situation break
ing before next week. Hopes of the
employers do not run high for any
thing to occur then. On Monday there
will be a resumption of conferences
in California between the longshore-
men and waterfront employers. Own
ers are standing pat; strikers say
they have nothing to concede, in the
meantime.

cost about 100000. There will be

SUPREME LODGE
OF K. P. IN AUGUST
Portland Will Entertain
knights With Many
Features

Some of the things that will be en-
joyed by Knights of Pythias who go
to Portland August l to 10, when the
supreme lodge of the order holds it's
biennial session will be: A trip over
the famous Columbia river highway;
trip through the Columbia gorge by
boat; salmon dinner out of doors !;
clam bake on the ocean beach; su-
preme chancellor's ball; night at The
Oaks, with pyrotechnic display; coun-
Gil fire on Council Crest; the greatest
parade ever made by one fraternity on
the Pacific coast; two public recep-
tions; surf bathing at the beach. and
auto trips through the most magnii.
cent scenery in America.
Portland is sparing no expense to
make this the most memorable session
in the history of the Order of Knights
of Pythias. 1t is the first time the
highest division of the fraternity has
ever come to the Northwest, and it is
the time of all times for all sections
of the district to make an impression
that will produce development later.
In many sections of the Northwest
local lodges are preparing to attend
in a body. 1t will be a vacation for
many people in one of the most charm
ing cities of America and where hos
pitality is always on tap.

vided a permit every IL days. This
is the first arrest of the kind in Grays
Harbor county. With the county aud.

day, it would be difficult to check
every applicant at the time of appli.
cation; but the check, afterwards, is
absolute.

riding on plank behind it, $50.
Battle royal, $40 for the winner on
each day.
15O-yard swimming race, $40 and S.

fair sample of many odd stunts that
feature the Splash.
The preparedness parade on the

rades on third and fifth, respectively,
with the floral parade and Rose show
on the third, too, make up an attract
i've program. In addition, on every
day will be the "SkidrOad" on Wishkah
street, with something doing every
minute.
Not Responsible for Debts
The Moose committee in charge of
the Splash announces, as a measure
of precaution, that it will not be re-
sponsible for any debts contracted by
any carnival company.
Rev. T. H. Simpson. chairman of
the children's day parade, July g.,

Jury Disasrees

The jury disagreed, Wednesday, in

Of the steamer Coronado, on a charge
of bootlegging. Jurors who stood for
acquittal held that. while likely a tech

been committed, yet Erickson had a
right to have whiskey on the Coronado
for use on the high seas, and that
the Washington state law could not
compel it's destruction upon coming
into port here.
