Mr.. Davis, an employe at the

broken ankle in the yard last week
caused by heavy timber falling
on his leg.
The result of the port election
would give the impression that

only l3 votes were cast. Of these
Remsberg received 10, Christen-

and that lights are also required
greater part of the time. Strange
as 1t may seem, you can not have
a good fire without burning
great deal of wood and also you
can not have electric lights on for
any length of time and still keep
the meter from climbing. SO at the
end of the month when this Ger

would play good joke on this

kept going except for nice,

of fight. and Ramstad' s probocis
being the most prominent feature
fortunately stopped him in his in

IA little bark-and so did his nose,
which promptly developed from a
halfnelson into perfectly curved
one. The full effect is now slightly
narred by criss-cross of plaster.

mistaken for a returned warrior.
Perhaps the name had some occult
influence on the event. Mean
while the horse left the sled be-

the hill, ,scorning such a little thing
as a fence at the bottom, and met
Mr.. Johnson on the road, who

he went over to the starboard
fence with the agility of cat.
The horse finally ended at Cove

spent the Thanksgiving season
with friends in Seattle.
Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Selby of
Tacoma, and Mr.. and Mrs. Small
and son Arthur enjoyed Thanks
giving dinner at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. Gordon.
Rev. T. S. Frctz gave his hearers
two interesting, logical sermons
last Sunday. In the evening his
subject was ''1'he Great Purpose
of Christ" His text was taken
from John, 3 :S. He said in part
that there has always been war
between evil and good. The devil
was back of the first sin, which
was committed in the Garden OF
Eden. Sin is lawlessness, or the
breaking of law. God was the
originator of life; the devil was
the originator of death spiritual
death. - The only way to dcs-
troy sin is by saving the sinner.
Jesus Christ is the antidote for all
sin. Both the morning and even
ing sermons were equally good
well worth the time spent to hear
them. Those who appreciate clean
cut statements and a practical in
depreciation of the Bible, will APP
prcciate hearing Rev. Fretz.
