shore of the Isle of Wight. The matched roofs
of the cottages, the Jagged rocks jutting above
the water in the bay and the crab catchers in the
foreground presented a combination unusually
interesting.
We wish we might mention many other beauti-
full pieces and collections showing just as decided
artistic skill and ability as those described but
space forbids. The lover of Art might have spent
hours among the scenes of Swiss villages, river
scenes by moonlight, the Dutch windmills and
canals, the old-fashioned water mills, sunset on
the river views, and so on, through an almost
endless variety.
Everything mentioned, so far, has been of oil
paintings. We must not omit some reference,
before closing, to few collections of water color
work on display.
A group of four pieces representing the first
efforts of one young girl, showed exceptional
talent and neat execution
Two water colors and one oil painting by a
young girl showed marked ability; another also
had on display two water colors, one of a Dutch
windmill, the other of church, both of which
were very good.

ONE HUNDRED FORTY-ONE PERSONS
OBEY GOD IN BAPTISM

The baptismal service in Shiloh Tabernacle last
Wednesday night was very solemn and impress
sive occasion, one hundred forty-one persons
obeying God in Triune Immersion.
The service was conducted by the General
Overseer, personally. A large audience was pre-
sent.
In giving the charge to the large company of
candidates for baptism, the General Overseer
said in part:
II thank my Heavenly Father for the scene
that is now before me-
'You show by your presence here tonight, that
you have heard the call of God and surrendered
to Him. By this act you are serving notice upon
the world that from this time forth you are His
children, and that you intend to have no further
fellowship with the world or the unfruitful works
of darkness.
Baptism is an act of obedience. 1t is the seal
upon the true believer. No one except a child of
God should be baptized. I believe you know and
understand why you are here and the step you
are about to take.
I am glad to see some children among this
company Dr. Dowie laid down the general rule
that children eight years of age would be received
into fellowship, but said there were instances
when younger children might be received if they
understood the meaning of the step they were
taking.

HONE ECONOMICS
GOOD WORK IS SHOWN
knowledge Of Sewing and
Cooking Beats the High
Brow Stuff

Half dozen or more girls who will
appear in the graduating class of the
high school this evening at the ar
mory will wear dresses they have made
themselves all due to the instruction
received in the Home Economies de-
partment of the school.
This department under the instruction
of Miss Nell Sykes, has been demon
ssrating the past year that not only
can the girls learn lot about the
practical side of life, but that in the
present changing conditions the knowl-
edge Of how to make ones own cloth
ing in case of necessity is of equal or
greater value than some forms of high
er education,
For not ouly have the girls in this
class of 75 learned to sew for them
selves, but many have devoted their
talents in this direction in helping the
home folks and in making the greater
part of their wearing apparel.
In the cooking department of the
Home Economics in charge of Miss
Purinton, the girls during the past
year have been given practical instruc-
tiOns in home cooking beides the theO-
retical part of the work. During the
past term this department has served
from 45 to so lunches a day to high
school students and have charged
what appeared to be a bare margin
above the cost, the idea being service
rather than profit. By careful buying
and close figuring and the prevention
of waste of all kinds everywhere, the
class has not only paid its expenses,
but now has 800 in its treasury which
will be used for buying better equip
ment next year.
With practical knowledge Of sew
ang and the knowing how to cook and
how to buy, the girl graduate who has
taken advantage of the Home Eco
Monies course and then possibly some
study in the commercial course Of the
Salem high school, is much better pre-.
pared to face the practical world of to-
day than if the time had been given to
the study of ethics, theories and the
higher education that have no apphca-
|tion to the practical affairs of life.

For more than twenty years the pio
neers of this part of the valley have
been in the habit Of holding an annual
reunion and picnic at some point in
the Waldo Hills, and this year is to be
no exception. Arrangements have been
made for the annual meeting on the old
John Hunt farm about sixteen miles
east of Salem on Saturday, June %.
Walter Tooze is to be the speaker of
the day and program of speaking and
music has been arranged. Everybody
is Invited pioneer and late conner
alike All that is required is to bring
lunch baskets well filled and enjoy
the occasion. There will be many a
story told Of the old days and many a
friendship made half century or
more ago win be still more strongly
eemented. If you have never attended
one Of these gatherings of the old tim
ers you should make special effort
to attend it aud get, although second
handed, a glimpse of the old pioneer
days.

Relief from, Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black.
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trife for each application. It is
always dependable.

ing largely inspired by unshaken be-
lief in ultimate victory. Prices fluctuat
ed sharply at times, owing to profit tax
ing and conflicting reports from the
front, but the prevailing trend seems to
be optimistic. The break in eoppers also
checked the advancing tendency. A not.
able change for the better was the in

slightly easier rates due presumably
to the war loan being out of the way
and to taxes being practically provided

outlook been more reassuring or less
confusing. The process of mobilizing the

smoothness under the new regime.
