DUNNS IN AUTO
 ACCIDENT NEAR
 ROSEBURC, ORE.
Flock of Pheasants Almost Cut Short Auto Tour
 of Coast by Them

A flock of C'hinest pheasants near Roseburg. Ore. recently came close to putting a sudden end to an auto tour of the Pacific Coast by Clerk of Court John H. Dunn, Mrs. Dunn and their son, Clarence, it was revealed today. It put three cars out of commission for a while and caused minor injuries to sev- eral persons, including MT and Mrs. Dunn.
 MT. Dunn suffered a cut on his nose, Mrs. Dunn a sprained foot, while Clarence escaped without hurt. They returned here Sun day after visiting as far south as Agua Caliente, Mexico.
 The mishap occurred while the Dunns were enroute from Seattle to Medford. Their car was the third in group of three machines tray- cling close together Proceeding at the rate of about 40 miles an hour, the leading machine halted sud- denly and without warning.
 A large flock of pheasanss had scurried into the road ahead of it, and the driver damned his breaks on to prevent running them down. The next two cars piled up into the front machine with disastrous results. All three ma chimes were damaged considerably. Tn addition to the injuries received by MT. and Mrs Dunn two other persons were also hurt. F
 The Dunns proceeded to Rose burg to have their hurts patched up and the car repaired. They were delayed there two days, then proceeded to Medford where they visited an old schoolmate of MT. Dunn whom he had not seen for 35 years. While there they made a trip to Crater Lake. Jt
 From Medford they proceeded south to San Francisco for a short stop, and then to Los Angeles and Santa Monica Beach They spent eight days there and in Los An geles, then went to San Diego and to Agua Caliente. Northbound they visited Yosemite and returned to Seattle over Redwood Highway. Clarence, who is a student in University of Washington, will re- main here until late in Septem- Der when he will return to school.

FLAVOR OF UNUSUAL COFFEE DELIGHTS
 THE MOST CRITICAL
Rare Goodness Results iron Hills Bros Patented Con-
 trolled Roasting Process

Some of the worlds most critical people have tasted Hills Bros. Cof fee, and declared it the finest. Not only that-they continue to drink Hills Bros. Coffee. For it's flavor never changes!
 A remarkable roasting process is responsible for this. It is called Controlled Roasting-invented anC patented by Hills Bros. As the ac. curacy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow 2 little at time |. i. so the wonder ful, uniform flavor of Hills Bros Coffee IS produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, continu. ously .. c little at time.
 The advantage is simply this Every berry is roasted to perfec- tion-s something bulk-roasting can't guarantee. Furthermore, the flavor never varies-something else bulk roasting can't guarantee. But Con trolled Roasting canl And Hills Bros. Coffee proves it. Every sip has the same satisfying flavor.
 In order to preserve this deli ciousness, Hills Bros. pack their coffee in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is re moved and kept out of these cans Ordinary, "air-tight" cans wont keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros Coffee can't go stale. Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can

LATE CALLERS

When Martin BeVlS came nOmt from the bank that evening it was apparent even to his indifferent powers of observation that hi: daughter was in a state of neryou. excitement very unusual to her se- rene nature.
 When her father appeared in th< archway between the hall and the living room she was on her feet white and trembling, her sewing crushed in her hands, gazing witt fearful eyes toward the hall as i she waited the coming of som dreadful apparition.
 Why, Annl Whats the matter child-are you sick?"
 She shook her head. Pierre Where is Pierre? Have you seer him?"
 T have been at the bank all thu evening, working on my books. "
 "Oh, where is he? Why doesn' he come home?" she moaned, pac. ing the floor while Martin watched her in blank amazement.
 What in the world has happen ed, child?p
 e5 She did not answer but went te the window and tried to see ou; into the night.
 "Is anything wrong with Pierre?'
 She turned from the window ane resumed her nervous movement. about the room I've worried unti- I'm almost crazy"
 i"But what's the trouble? Can't you tell me what has happened?'
 She whirled on him suddenly with an outburst which startled him: You know well enough Bruce has taken Pierre's money It's the meanest wickedest thing ever heard of and you are just as bad as Bruce. Just because he 1 so anxious to make us happy; be- cause he loved us so, you two beasts have bounded him into wrecking his own life as if he die not matter at all. You've broken his heart-you've driven him mao --that's what you have done!"

ATTEMPTING TO REVIVE NONPARTISAN
 LEAGUE, TOWNLEY IS TAKING STUMP
 AGAINST WALL STREET AND INTERESTS

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 20. A. c. Townley, whose Nonparti- san League grew from an idea to a powerful political organization more than decade ago, is on the stump in efforts to revive it.
 Moving from town to town in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, he hopes to rekindle the fires of what he describes as the "agrarian revolt" of 12 years ago. which resulted in control of the North Dakota state government by the league and effects on politics of half dozen other states.
 Then he centered his demands fer reform on alleged abuses of "gra.n gamblers" in terminal markets. ard milling monopolies," and found his organization crumbling when he was sentenced to serve 90 days in the Jackson County, Minn., jail for making allegedly disloyal utter ances during the World War.
 Now he is concentrating his pro- gram of economic rehabilitation" by urging that Wall Street be curbed of it's powers, that the power to run this country be returned to the people,"
 He is preaching that the govern ment should declare moratorium or interest payments, particularly farm real estate mortgages. He is slowly building up a fund for his organization campaign by contributions solicited when he speaks. The first leagIe once had membership of more than 100000 farmers who were asked for mem

But, Pierre

But, Pierre"
 Go home" said Pierre. T don't want to see you or anybody I'm all right-you don't need to worry about me. I'm going to bed" But he made no move toward leaving the room-only stood there.
 Old Tony turned appealing to Ann.
 T would go to bed if were you, dear" said Ann, trying to speak in a matter-o -of-fact way. Tt must be quite late. Bruce will be back in the morning and everything will be all right then
 That reminds me-" said Martin in his bungling way, Bruce gave me a letter for you, Ann, just as he was leaving-forgot to give it to you himself, I guess"
 Ann read the letter. She gave a little cry, her face white and hor- TOT r-stricken. Pierre started for ward.
 Well, what's the matter now?" said Martin impatiently.
 She made a ghastly effort to smile, and slowly shook her head. Methodically she replaced the let ter in the envelope and put it in the pocket of her apron. Then, suddenly, she burst into tears.
 Pierre ran to her. Ann, Ann, what is it, dear?" When she could not answer he put his arm about her and tried to comfort her with low murmured words as one might sooth a crying child.
 The two men could only gaze wonderingly at Ann and Pierre and at each other.
 A loud knocking at the front door echoed through the house. They gave no heed. The imperative demand was repeated and Ann, still crying, motioned her father to the door
 Martin went into the hall. Voices were heard and the old bookkeeper reappeared with four men.
 For a long moment the men stood just inside the room looking at Ann, who was making a des- perate effort to control her grief at Pierre, who was supporting Ann; at Tony, who timidly withdrew into a far corner; and at Martin, who in great confusion was placing chairs for the unexpected visitors.

The revelation by International
