TF^aramec,
Tarry-a-while Club
The autumn is here again, after
(he intense heat of the summer's
gun, giving all new life and ener-
gy-
The spirit of life and hope
seemed to be the prevailing
thought of the r.fternoon of Fri-
day September !i'l, at the home of
Mrs. W. A. Waters, who was the
charming hostess to the Tarry-a-
while club.
The uttendance was good, with
Ruth Hammers a welcome visitor.
The response to roll call was
quotations of the season,
The literary program was then
given whioh was an intellectual
uplift, as these programs are.
We can further say, that the spir-
itual side was not left out, for
things that enlighten the mind
most, are generally the spiritual
thingB of life. Things in which
we can see the hand of God.
So it was with the miuds eye
that we visited the seven scenic
wouder's of this country.
First we visited the Yellowstone
park, described by Mrs. Carlisle,
and as she told of its beauty
grandeur, we were made to think
of him who created all things.
From here we crossed to the
eastern side, to behold nature in
rocks hb they form the great nat-
ural bridge, among the most beau-
tiful scenery that the eyo may
wish to look upou.
Frctn here Mrs. Davis took us
to the state of scenery, among the
hills of Colorado to view the mam-
oth trees, that for century after
century have stood as monuments
by the hand of God.
After tlih helpful study in nat-
ure, Mrs. Duff, Martin, Waters
and Damieville, gave a dialogue,
As McMurtry Sees It
First Impressions of the Central
and North-west.
(Third Installment)
In these government irrigation
projects, I am told that they
charge you $&).00 per acre for a
perpetual water right und give
you 40 acres of land, but it is all
taken up at this place though.
Along the Columbia river there
are thousands of acres of sand and
good sage brush land, but it is a-
bove the water, if some scheme
could be bad to get the water from
the river without to great a cost
this would be valuable land.
Crossing the Columbia river at
Wallbridge and assending the Des
Chutes river is a new railroad.

Things Good to Know
Before wetting goods that has
boen stained by fruit, moisten the
btain with camphor and the spot •
will come out when washed. It !i
will not hurt the most delicate '
colors. j
If you buy work shirts ready i
made, cut the shirt open all the
way down the front, put on extra
buttons and face back. It will hr
much more convenient in getting !
on and off.
When riveted buttons on om-i
alls pull out, replace by cutting
buttons from an old pair, leaving
a piece of cloth an inch square a- |
round button. Nlip button through |
hole and stitch with machine.—J.
M., Kansas.
Mrs. Cloris ,Tones was in Paw-
i tee last Saturday.
Mrs. Roy Eshelcnan is staying
at the home of Charles Eshelmau
and keeping home for him while
he is away attending court.
Z. Hiney, who has been having
his eyes treated at the Sanitorium,
says that he thinks he will be able
I to see alright when his eyes got
well enought to have glasses tit to
them.
C. R. Brewington ai'd wife and
son, Leroy, went over t the San.

They took their boy over . here for
an operation and at this time

which was splendid as it was so
cheerful.
The committee took charge af-
ter this and asked us to board the
train of thoughts and visit Boiue
of our cities. Mrs. Casteel and
Duff did not tarry long at any one
place, but visited 15 of the 18
scheduled to visit and for their
knowledge of travel the committee
presented them with crystel floral
baskets, as souveniors of their
tour.
After returning to our respec-
tive places of abode, Mrs. Cnsteel
favored the club with a song and
Mrs. Martin gave an instrumental
piece. Little Grace, daughter of
the hostess, also honored the club
witli some of her piano selections,
which whs enjoyed by all.
This was one of our best meet-
ings. November <Uh will be the
68<*ond anniversary of the club.

Ships come up the Columbia river
as far as the Dallas and they are
building a lock to take them up
beyond the rapids in the river. A-

called in this country the North
