King, IN a calm aside to Rewa Gunga,
turning half toward him and taking his
eyes off the dance without any very
great effort.
Rewa Gunga clapped his hands and
the dance ceased. The woman spirited
her snakes away. The blind was
drawn upward and In a moment all
was normal again with the punkah
swinging slowly overhead. except that
the seductive smell remained, that was
like the early-morning breath Of ali

locked converted horse stalls ran down

King could see OF the men within was
the whites Of their eyes. And they did
not look friendly.
He had to pass between them and
the light, and they could zee more Of
him than he could Of them. At the
frst cell he raised his left hand and
made the gold bracelet on his wrist
clink against the steel bars.
A moment later he cursed himself,
and felt the bracelet with his finger

Rabbi Joseph Goldman, prominent
Hebrew lecturer, native of Russia, who
little over a year ago returned from
his native land, accompanied by son.
who is now training at Camp Lewis to
fight against Germany, arrived here
Monday to send a week resting. Rab-
bi Goldman, who is leeturing through
out America under the auspices of jew
ish organizations, will talk here at the
Asbury Methodist church next Sunday
morning and evening. bringing, as he
says, the message from the Russians to
the Americans.
All who hear the Rabbits lectures
Sunday will be inspired by the message
he brings He still retains faith in
the patriotic type of Russian who loves
his native land and predicts that the
loyal people of Russia will never con-
sent to separate peace with Germany.
Russia has never stopped fighting
and has never made peace with Ger
many. Russia is only beginning the
war and | give you my word that the
Russian nation will never stand for the
German militarism as long as one man
is left" says Rabbi Goldman.
Il tell you that Germany will meet
her Waterloo in Russia, Russia is still
in the war and always will be in the
war with Germany. 1t is calm now, il
looks quiet, but you may expect every
day the awakening of the Russian peo
pie.
American people don't realize the
blessings they have here and the free
dom and liberty. Every man, woman
and child must give all he has thai

". 7. Eddy was home for the week
end from hls surveying work in the
willamette valley.
Today and tomorrow are examination
days for the eighth graders and all are
on the anxious seat, wondering if |
will pass.
I. l.. Burns was in Portland Satur-
day. Shipped his bike down to the
Locks and from there rode to Portland
over the Highway. He reports fine
wheeling over the paved part of the
Highway.
Miss Eloise Copper. one Of Frank
tons teachers. was on the sick list part
of last week. She was not able to at
tend the pageant after working so hard
to drill her little tots to perform their
part. Miss Copper is primary teacher
and her little folks did fine, including
George Washington Okamora, the little
Jap.
VIM. Eby, who with his family moved
to Portland sometime ago to work in a
shipyard, had the misfortune to fall
from staging and received injuries
that sent him to the hospital. From
last reports he was improving, though
slowly.
Tomorrow is primary election day.

der the last conscription, reported at

turned down on account of his eyes.
School will close one week from to-
morrow for the summer vacation.
The pageant held in the Ferguson
grove last Friday by the Barrett, Oak
Grove and Frankton schools under the
supervision of Miss Aldine Bartmess
was success. The day was perfect
and big crowd turned out to see the
program that was taken part in by al
the schools. Everything went off nice

! to Miss Bartmess and the teachers fol
| the amount of painstaking effort it tool
\ to do what they did. OF course, We
/ think Frankton did little the best
but they all did splendidly.

Master Holbrook Galloway, son Of Mr.
