The Wreck Store was entered by
burglars FRIDAY night and large
quantity of goods. aggregating in val
ue somewhere between fifteen hun
dred and two thousand dollars. were
taken The robbers took the finest
goods in the store-dresses. waists
skirts. etc-and packed them in
trunks and suit cases, showing that
they knew what they wanted and had
time to make tileir selections. They
entered the store by the back door
and it is thought they had an auto
mobile at hand to transport their
booty and make a quick get away.
There is no clue to the identity Of the
burglars. but there is some ground
for the suspicion that the robbery may
have been committed by members Of
the gang that has been operating in
Columbia and nelghboring towns. a
representative of the Wreck Store has
gone TO Columbia TO look over the
goods that have been recovered from
the gang there. it being possible that
he may be able to identify some OF
the articles.

CHAUTAUQUA ON
NON-PROFIT BASIS.

An occurrence of unusual import
ance to Lyceum, Festival and Chau-
tauqua patrons throughout the West
recently transpired in Portland when
the Ellison White Bureau placed
their business on strictly non-profit
basis. The new organization takes
the name of the Ellison White Lyce-
UNI and Chautauqua Association. 1t
is sponsored by some Of the leading
men and women of the Pacific Coast
There are nine members on the
board of trustees, seven of whom will
be elected from year to year by the
Lyceum and Chautauqua patrons in
the different districts. The board of
trustees for the present year is as
follows: C. w. Tenney, President of
Gooding College, Gooding, Idaho
representing District No. /, Of Lousi-
ana, Texas, Arizona; l.. l.. Mccoy,
Banker and Capitalist of Red Bluff,
California, representing District No.
2, California; Geo. W. Gearhart, At
torney-at- Portland, Oregon,
representing District No. 8, Nevada
Utah, Colorado; Gov. d. w. Davis, of
Idaho, representing District No. 4, of
Idaho and Wyoming; A. C. Strange,
Supt. Of Schools, Astoria, Oregon,
representing District No. 5, Montana;
Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, State
Superintendent of Public instruction
| and President of the National Educa-
tional Association, representing Dis
trict No. 6, State of Washington; H..
F.. Cross, President of Willamette
Valley Chautauqua Association, at
Gladstone, Oregon, representing Dis
trict No. 7, Oregon; J. R. Ellison and
c. H. White, ex-offcio members.
The Ellison-White Chautauqua and
Lyceum business was founded in 1913
by J. r. Ellison of Portland, and c. H.
White of Boise, Idaho In eight years
it has grown from tiny company to
the largest organization of its kind
in the U. s., operating either Lyceum,
Festivals or Chautauquas in practic-
ally every town of the West. Sever
al hundred people are employed the
year around and approximately three
and third million people in the
Western States attended their Lyceum
and Chautauqua assemblies during
the past year. Offices are also main
tanned in Calgary, Alberta, and Auck-
! land, New Zealand In 1919 the New
Zealand Chautauquas were placed on
a non-profit basis and it is expected
that the Canadian department will al
so follow in the near future.
In a Portland interview the other
day Mr. Ellison said, "For years Mr..
White and | have felt that the Lycc-
UNI and Chautauqua was too big an
institution to be operated for private
profit. 1t has been our dream to place
it on bigger, broader basis. one
purely of service. | believe our re-
organization has effected this. Now
the Lyceum and Chautauqua can
truly take its place with the school
the college and the church-an insti-
tuition of the common people,"

DO YOU BOARD YOUR CATTLE?
Which Kind Have You, Consumers or
Producers.

Are you running boarding house
on your farm? If you are, collect the
board. There are all kinds of board
ers besides human beings on the
farm The chickens, COWS, hogs,
sheep and cattle all have to live and
are fed from the farm. They are
consuming food of considerable value
each day. Some of the chickens lay
more eggs than others, and thus help
support their fellow chickens. The
trap nest will soon tell the tale.
Some cows give more milk than 9TH
ers; daily records and COW testing
will enable the farmer to pick them
out. Some types of cattle fatten
quicker and better than others. es-
pecially is this true between the scrub
and the purebred Undoubtedly
there are some boarders on most of
the farms. and now is a good time to
make them pay board or be sold to
the butcher.
All the stock on the farm, includ-
ing the boarders, are consuming high
priced feed, harvested by high priced
labor using high priced machinery.
The boarding problem has become a
high priced proposition, so it will pay
big money to Gull out the mere board
erS and feed nothing but producers.
