80 CO PER YEAR
Party

Special to the News-Record
On Sunday last, at the home Of
Mrs j, p. Blackburn, a very
pleasant birthday party was held
in the morning. She was sur
priscd by the arrival Of her only
son, j, L. Blackburn, Of Aber-
deem, coming, and later there
came as guests, Mrs. Mae IIoI-
combe, and Mrs, Gano and her
two little boys, also Mr. Mum,
all Of Seattle. Mrs G. S. Tilton,
her daughter and four of the
grandchildren We're there making
in all quite a party. These lad
les were the two Youngest daugh-
tiers Of Mrs. S. W. Lowering who
formerly lived on what is known
as the Dubois place and they, to-
gcthcr with Mrs, 'Tilton and the
son all belonged to the younger
set Of our society in former years
and Lester Blackburn belonged
to the first band organized here
under the leadership of p. L. Nye
a man who was held in high cs-
teen by all his boys and has now
gone to his reward.
A nice dinner was served later
in the day, finishing with u nice
birthday cake made by the grand
daughter, Ethel Tilton. There
were numerous congratulations
and tokens Of friendship given.
In the afternoon, II. G. Ward
called to pay his respects to old
time friends. Those present brot
to mind very many pleasant
scenes of past years when we
were all here together. There
were several other friends we
hoped to have with us but who
were unable to come. Among
them were Mrs. Brock Reed,
whose birthday occurs on the
same date, but she, together with
her niece, Miss Nellie White,
spent the day with her daughter
and family in Seattle. There is
n new grandson in the home and
he is quite n drawing card. They
had nice time. She received a
number of nice presents showing
love and affection to one so de-
serving, The day passed all too
soon but leaves behind many
pleasant thoughts and loving
memories.

OPPOSITION TO FRENCH
Special to the Ncws.Rccord.


Olympia, August G.-Two fac
tons, cmbittercd because of sue
ccs ful fights Senator Il. i.
French has made for farming IN
terests, are now fighting his can.
didacy for the Republican noml-
nation for Governor
lie is HssaiIed from one dircc-
ton because Of his long and sue
ccssiul fight for a revision OF
the federal wheat standards,
which in their new form will save
a fortune to grain growers on
this years crop, Senator French
had notice that his fight for re-
vision Of grain standards would
not be popular among buyers of
wheat and now he has been mott
fed that the cnmity cngendcred
in that fight is going to be coined
into votes against him if possible
From the outset Of his cam
p0lgn Senator French has en-
countered the opposition of those
who are trying to crowd out
dairy products with milk and
butter substitutes. While in the
legislature Senator French OPP
posed the use Of vegetable oils IN
preserving milk. During the last
Legislative session the successful
campaign against butter substi-
tutes and inferior condensed milk
was planned and carried out in
committee meeting held in his
Offices. In fact, the whole sue
ccSsfuI farm program Of the las.
legislature was originated in
committee conferences in the de-
partmcnt's quarters and had Di-
rector French s active support.
Now the interests that were hit
by that program threaten to
have their revenge.

organizing eight vacation schools
this summer and has found a
very encouraging response at ev-
cry place.
The Daily Vacation Bible S.
movement has created great in

messed a phenomenal growth. Ii
is quite possible that the present

ly exceeds 1000 in this country,
will grow to over 10000 in the
next few years and that the
number of students will run into
millions.
Many thousands of Chinese

pecially interested in religious

When the leading editorial"
was written last week it was not
at all with the idea that all the
readers of the News Record
would agree with the writer. Had
that been the thought, the space
would have been filed with
something else. Only one unfav-
orablc criticism has been receiv-
ed so far-this from an avowed
socialist, who has much rood to
say for Debs. LaFollettc and
Wheeler and nothing good to ut
ter concerning the President.
The writer has lived long cmuf
to discover one thing about poll
ticians in general, namely, that
when the outs get in they are
subject to the same temptations
and reveal the same weaknesses
as those they have replaced, and
one discovery about the socialists
in particular, that their theories
are not intended for home con-
sumption,

Queer and consumer farther

The large cash stores and
chain store organizations are
gaining ground every day.
Their volume of business gives
them greater purchasing pow
er, getting closer to the base
of supplies. They sell for
cash, take advantage of MI
discounts. Credit risks are
eliminated entirely.
We are thoroughly sold on
the cash plan and feel sure
that we are on the right
track. If you put your eff
forts back of our organization
the greater will be our vol

tage of expense which ulti-
mately means lower prices to
you.
Many of your neighbors

you why, they trade here.
