Wins the State Banner

Last Monday evening State
Manager, L. M. Thomas pre-
sented to the st. Johns Council
2775, Knights and Ladies Of Se-
curity, the coveted prize for
last quarter, the state banner,
which has been won by our
Council. This is a great honor
tor st. Johns Council, also for
the city, as we have here in
Portland some Of the strongest
councils in the country. The
famous Kirkpatrick Council of
Portland, with a membership Of
nearly 1900 members, have had
the state banner most of the
time, having won it right along,
and they were of the opinion that
it belonged to them, and they
thought that il was as safe in
their hall as If it was under lock
and key. They never dreamed
that little old st. Johns Council
had enough pep to try and win
the banner, but | guess we
caught them mapping this time.
This had been a great year for
st. Johns Council. We now
occupy our new home and have
won the banner and we want to
try TO keep il here. We had a
big feed last Monday night.
Don't forget the big dances we
have every Saturday night they
are for everybody Who are look
ing for a good time; also every
other Monday evening. We also
started our campaign to keep the |
banner here. Il will run for six
the losers will banquet
the winners. Bro. Gasser and
Bro. Holberg gave some enteres.
ling talks. Sister Everett Is
sure up and coming since she
ills the Presidents chair.
Some time later we will give a
big hard time dance. Next
evening being our open
we will enjoy the even
ng in dancing. Everybody is
invited to come. Ladies admit.
ed free. gents 30 cents. Come
md spend the evening with us.

Foundation Won Out

The Foundation ball club. that
is composed mainly of old Lea
que players, defeated the local
team by n score of III 20 3 last
Sunday. Barham started to do
the twirling for the Grant Smith
Porter club. but gave way after
the fourth 10 llenning, who
finished the game. The third
inning was a bad one for the
locals. Through poor fielding
eight runs were scored by Found
alton in this frame. A number
of hits were made. but had the
fielding been perfect three men
would have been easy outs before
any runs were scored. Outside
this inning Barham pitched a
fine bail. llenning. who sue.
cccded him. had Foundation up
in the air until the ninth inning.
when he let up for a little and
two runs were scored. Henning
performed a feat that has not
been accomplished in years, and
that was 10 strike Stumpf out
two times In succession. Prit'
chard was hack in the game at
short. but owing 10 lack of prac.
tice lately, was far from the
Pritchard of old. Clyne starred
for the locals. both at the bat
and in the field, making two
splendid running catches. and
lacing out two two ,baggers and
a single. Hogan also made a
most difficult catch I'm right
field for the locals.
Tomorrow, Saturday, after
noon the Aberdeen. Wash. club
will play the locals. A fine band
concert will also be rendered by
the Grant Smith-Porter band o.
Aberdeen. This will undoubted.
ly be a most interesting game,
and a large crowd will no doubt
be i'm attendance. The game
starts at 3 O'Clock.
The lOcals will not play on the
home grounds Sunday. but will
play at the Vaughn street
grounds instead.

First TO Cross the BRIDGE

After the review we marched
thru the streets down 10 the

dedicated the new Wilson Bridge.
We were the first To cross the
bridge.
As we marched thru the streets
the people showered us with
flowers. The pavement was

Beautiful Lugan0 Smallest
of Italian Lakes and One
of the Most Picturesque

Lugano Is the smallest though not
the least beautiful Of the italian lakes
as a matter of fact it Is not entirely
In Italy, as the Swiss frontier is
crossed at Chiasso, yet, perhaps on ac-
count of its Italian sounding name, 1t
Is usually classed with Como and Mag
giore, says the Christian Science Moni-
tor. The lake Is surrounded by wood
ed hills, which rise directly out of the
year 1t is beautiful.
In early spring these t~ree-covered
slopes take on a soft purplish bloom
all the outlines become blurred and
velvety as the sap rises In every
branch and twig, and there Is a won
derfully peaceful impression given by
these soft outlines against a serene
blue sky. All along the lake sides
are tiny villages, built on the steepest
possible slopes, the houses seeming to
stick to the hillside wherever a niche
can be followed out. There is no road
directly around the lake, 81 the inhab-
itants prefer to go everywhere by wa
ter. Little steamers ply from the
town of Lugano to Porlezza, taking a
zigzag course In order to call at the
various villages on either side of the
lake.
OF all the villages, sperhaps the most
beautiful Is Morcote, which lies east of
Lugano, with its dark cypress trees
standing out on the hillside against the
pure sky, but for sheer picturesque eff
feet the village of Cambria must come
first.
The houses appear to rise straight
out of the water, piled, as it were, n
on top of the other, quite haphazard.
Many of them shine white in the bright
sunlight with hard blue-black shadows
where the projecting caves cover
them. The walls at the waters edge
are festooned with flowers and creep
ers, clinging wherever they can find a
foothold, while the water laps softly
against dim shadows of boats tied up
under dark archways.
Each little village forms a separate
picture, having its own characteristics,
while over all the mountain of San
Salvatore stands like a sentry on
guard.

Skim Milk Most Valuable
When Used as Food.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
While skim milk is useful for animal
feeding it will serve its best use as
food for humans. By substituting grain,
green feed, buttermilk and whey in ami
NAL feeding, much skim milk may be
left for human use as a beverage, in
cooking, condensing or for making cot
tage cheese. Only the surplus of this
valuable human food should be fed to
stock.
While skim milk is good for stock,
the fact remains tina It's highest eff
cheney cannot be had through turning
it into meat. Skim milk is used most
economically in animal production
when fed to hogs, yet it takes 20
pounds when fed alone to produce n
pound of pork. The same quantity
will make three pounds of cottage
cheese. In addition, cottage cheese
contains ~ times as much protein
and one-third as much energy as pork,
so that the skim milk in the cheese
form gives quite as much energy and
AZ times as much protein as it would
if converted into ham or bacon.
Even at the highest prices recently
paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them
is worth not more than one cent a
pound. Yet M cent a pound Or ap-
~proximately n cent a pint, is very
cheap for any human food, and par
ticularly for a food so high in nutri-
five vnlup ac skim milk

Regiment of French Dragons
in Fighting Game Since 1886

The Twenty-second Regiment of Dra-
goons of the French army is one of the
oldest regiments of the republic. 1t
was organized in 1885 under the name
of the Orleans regiment, and took part
from 1889 to 1856 in all the great wars
In which the French were engaged be-
fore the Revolution. From 1893 to 1914
it was continually at work, first under
the republic and afterwards in Napo-
Icons time. 1t took part in the great
battles at Austerlitz, 1905; Jena, 1906 ;
Eylau, 1907, and Oporto in 1909. Many
pennants fly from it's standard in honor
of it's bravery in battles.
At the end of July. 1914, the regi-
ment was stationed at Reims, where it
had been for many years In peaceful
occupation.
War clouds burst suddenly. Soon
the city of Reims was awake, the
streets filled with people, all vending
their way towards the cavalry bar
racks to have a last glimpse of the de-
parting dragons.
Three hours after the bugle call the
regiment stood ready awaiting the
command of the colonel to mount. In
q long address the colonel reminded
the soldiers of the achievements of
their forefathers, hoping that they
would be brave to add another pen
nant to those already attached to their
standard, and with the shout of "Long
live Francpt Long live the ReDub-
lic!' they swung into the saddle and
left the barrack yard for an unknown
destination.
