The Rambler recently purchased q
pair of socks from a local mems
furnishing goods store. He wore the
socks on trip around the gol1
course and on his return to the club
house, found a hole in the toe Of
each sock. When the, socks were
purchased the Rambler understood
the salesman to say that they were
guaranteed to wear to the satisfac
ton of the purchaser so the Ram
bier took the socks back to the store
and rather timidly suggested that
they had not been satisfactory.
1.-THE manufacturer guarantees the
socks, does he not?" The Rambler
asked the owner of the store.
''ft does not matter whether the
manufacturer gives a guarantee OF
not" said the owner. "Any person
who buys anything In TINS store anO
does not get satisfactory service out
of the article can get his money back
or a new article"
The Rambler got new pair OF
socks and there was no intimation
that he was not entitled to them or
that the store was getting the ''hot
end" of the deal. The socks were
handed over to the Rambler with ap'
parent pleasure, and the Rambler is
here to state that 1t is a pleasure to
do business at that store.-Rambler
in st. Petersburg Independent.

BEAUTIFUL HOME
OF S. N. STEPHENS
ONE Of FINEST
IN THIS SECTION

One of the most beautiful residences
in South Florida is the handsome new
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. s. M. Ste
phens on Lake Hollingsworth. and
because it covers the matter so thor
oughly, we reproduce below fine de.
scription Of this lovely place, taken
from the Lakeland Advertiser which
says:
One of the show places and beauty
spots Of Polk county is "Grey Locks
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. s. M.
Stephens, on the east side of Lake
Hollingsworth. 1t has recently been
remodeled and made into colonial
style by Contractor Logan.
A porch sixteen feet wide and fifty
feet in length, supported by twelve
dignified Corinthian columns, four Of
them grouped on either side by the
entrance. has been built across the
front of the residence. On one side
the porch joins the pergola with its
electric lights and fan. and OH the
other the roof extends out and forms
port-cochere. In building this it
was found that a cabbage palm stood
directly in the way Of the roof, al
though far enough to the side to al
low safe passage Of an automobile.
Mr.. Stephens couldn't part with his
palm tree so the roof was built
around it, and when you go up on the
upper deck Of the porch, there 1t is.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

The pupils of the 7th and Sth grades
or the public schools put on the play
The American Flag" that they have
been rehearsing for weeks, in the high
school auditorium this Friday evening
This is four act patriotic drama that
should appeal to every red blooded
American, drawing out the largest
crowd that has ever filled the audi.
torium. School entertainments always
are popular and 1t is safe to say that
large crowd will respond this even
ing and give the young people warm
greeting In time past the pupils of
the local school have been in the hab-
1t OF putting on plays, or entertain
ments of some kind, at the close of the
school year, and in every instance
those taking part have surprised their
friends and acquaintances by the ex-
cellency of their work behind the foot
lights. Professional perfection is no;
looked for from youthful amateurs,
but not infrequently those taking part
in these school plays have developed
an adaptability for stage work that is
most creditable. The members of tn \
class of 1888 are going to upheld
the record made by members of pre-
vious classes, and we feel perfectly
safe in promising all those who attend
this evening a pleasing and enjoyable
entertainment.

GAVE GENUINE SERVICE.

+ An organization that was more
often laughed or scoffed at than prais-
ed before the war now commands the
respect and admiration of thousands
of Americans who have witness ed and
benefited by its splendid service.
That organization is the Salvation
Army. Without boast or pretense or
noisy advertising, the Salvation Army
organized to give service to the sold
Vice Vice With fitho5fil ilragG iiin snr
beyond praise.
Salvation Army lassies cooked pies
and doughnuts and made hot coffee
under shell fire for the boys at the
front. The pies and doughnuts and cof-
fee were not made to sell at profit
or even at cost, but were given to the
boys under conditions and dt a time
when they would do the boys the most
good.
Don't think that it was silly, or i'm
practical or quiXotic to cook pies and
doughnuts and such things for nun
CRY men and boys. Those Salvation

CRY men and boys most wanted. Have
you taken note of what the returning
soldiers relish most? They do no. ask
for stew or beans or corne1 beef but
its the delicacies they have so long
been denied; the sweets and extras,
and that obtained under shell fire
cheered them more than any amount
of chewing gum and cnocoIata bar
that others sent them from a safe dist
ance in the rear, to be distributed at
cost plus, to those who had the price.
Thousands of those men and boys
who formerly had never given a
thought to the Salvation Army or at
best had merely smiled with tolerant
contempt at that organization now
promise themselves that they will
never pass tambourine without drop
ping their small change thereon.

SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL.

In point of attendance and pleasure
derived from the performance, the
musical entertainment given in the
Lyric theater Monday evening under
the direction of Mrs. c. c. Hedger, for
the benefit of the Episcopal Guild,
was a most decided success. 1t was a
warm, responsive and appreeiative
audience, and the generous applause
demanded and secured recalls for al
most every number. The program as
published last week was carried out.
Both the vocal and instrumental num-
bers were most creditably rendered,
and where all did so well it would be
difficult to single out any one of the
participants for special mention. The
room was crowded almost to the limit
of capacity, an indication that in
terest in local talent is as keen now
as it has ever been in the past. One
especial feature, worthy of commenda-
ton, was the orchestra music furnish
ed by Mrs. c. c. Hedger. Mrs. McCool
and Mr.. Frank Bartell, on the piano,
violin and cornet.

PAINFUL DISAPPOINTMENT

At the eleventh hour, just as this
paper was going to press Thursday,
word was received from the gen
eral headquarters of the Liberty
Loan committee of the state, at Sc
attic, that owing to the failure of
the aviators under contract to
make flights during the tour of the
Trophy Train to fulfill their obli-
cation, there will be no aeroplane
flights in this county next week at
the time of the visit OF the Trophy
Train as has been so prominently
announced
This is no fault ofAthe state or
county committee. We have seen
the written contract between the
Loan Committee and The bird men.
and the bird men faised absolutely
to make good after announcing that
they had planes and would fill the
schedule.
This unfortunate contretemps
should not detract from the inter-
est in the train loads of trophies,
nor should 1t in any wise discourage
the local drive. Let eyery one turn
out to welcome the train and while
doing so go their limit in subscrib-
ing for Victory Bonds.

FLATTERING COMMENDATION.

Saturday representative of one OF
the greatest financial agencies in the
United States spent the day in Oro-
vile, making relist of the standing
of the business houses of the town. 1t
is not believed that we are abusing a
confidence when saying that this
agent, who has been in close touch
with every section of the state, volun-
tarily stated that Oroville and this
part of the Okanogan valley showed
evidence of not only being in the best
financial condition but the most pros
porous looking and promising portion
or the state that he had visited. Now
this man based his view upon the con-
crete evidence of figures. 1t is his
busines to find out the standing of all
classes OF people, the farmer, the orch
ardist, the business and the profess
slonal man. He is keen, shrewd. wide
awake, and his experience eminentlv
fits him for passing judgment upon the
condition and standing of business
men, no matter what may be the busi-
ness followed. His judgment is not
rounded upon rumor or inflated claims
OF individuals. 1t is his business to get
down to brass tacks in making his
reports. because his retention on the
Job is dependent upon accurancy.
such statement made by such a man
carries conviction that whateve,
premise he may draw from his obser-
vations can be depended upon as be-
ing pretty accurate. Furthermore. it
comedies with statements made by
visitors at this office who have travel
ed considerably over this state. And
all such statements are accepted with
considerable complacency as confirm
ing the claim that the Gazette has
made for some time that Oroville is
about to make very definite and i'm
portant advancement during the pres
ent year, an advancement that has
been long overdue, and justified by it's
situation and the great re-
sources back of it.

DEATH OF j. A. GILMOUR.

Saturday afternoon James A. GilmOur
rather OF Guy Gilmour, of this place,
Iled at the Oroville General hospital
after a long illness, and in his death
passed away one of those old pioneers
of the west, the ranks of which have
Deen so depleted by the ravages of
time that few are left to tell of the
days of '49.
The deceased was born in Missouri
in 1S43, and hence had reached his
10th year. When an infant his family
moved to Illinois and in 1S49 his par
ents crossed the plains to Oregon in
an OK drawn prairie schooner. The de-
ceased spent 20 years in Oregon and
Washington. He was blacksmith ~
trade, but like almost all Of the men
who came west he took up the mining
game and followed it until age inca
pacitated him from active work He
came to Okanogan county in very
early days and was at Ruby when that
old camp was in the zenith Of it's pros
perity. At the time of his death he
still owned mining claims near Keller
which he long dreamed would make
him rich. During his residence in Okla
hogan county he made many friends
among the old timers. OF late years he
has made his home with his son,
James Gilmour, at Cappose, Oregon.
The deceased was a victim of
Brights disease and has been failing
for months. He wanted to reach Re-
public and consult his old friend DR..
C. F. Webb, but when he reached the
home of his son in this place, hardly
two weeks ago, his condition was such
that he had to be placed in the hos
pital. The disease had reached such a
stage that there was no earthly help
for the unfortunate old pioneer.
The deceased leaves two sons, Guy
A. Gilmour, Of Oroville, and James
Gilmour, of Cappose, Oregon, and six
grand children to mourn his death
The funeral took place from L. w
Barnes undertaking parlors Tuesday
and large number of friends and
acquaintances attended to show their
last respects to the departed.
