Worth Every Dollar.
Mr. Will Watts' said the other
night that he indorsed the street
paving movement, that he could beet
explain his sentiments with a story.
One of the most wonderful feats
of engineering construction waa a
big railroad project in the moun
tains which cost the total sum of
$11,000,000. In the vicinity of this
work lived an old maid who had nev
er been on a train and wouldn't look
at a man. In this same vicinity lived
an old bachelor who had never been
on a train and wouldn't lock at a
woman. A big exeursion was about
to take place and the old maid and
the old bachelor got on the train
where ttls big work was constructed.
She cat in one of the seats alone. He
eatin one of the seats alone. The
train entered a long tunnel. There
was heard a rustling in the car. The
, old bachelor had found his way to
the old maid and there was a kissing
bee. When the train had emerged
from the tunnel everyone was quietly
seated again Just as before the tun
nel was enteredr Presently the old
bachelor turned and said, "This tun
nel cost $11,000,000." The old
maid answered, "Yes, and it's worth
every dollar of it." '

To Grow Strawberries.
At a meeting of the Lions Club last
Tuesday strawberries and diversifica
tion in agriculture were discussed.
Finally it was decided to organize
a strawberry club with Mr. Chas.
Dietzel as manager. The Idea is to
get as many of our farmers as possi
ble to devote a small acreage to
strawberries, and to begin the work
at once in order that plants may be
ordered and didstrlbuted in time for
spring planting. Mr. Dietzel asks us
to state that arrangements have al
ready been made by one or two farm
ers for ctrawberry plants. The Idea
is to get others interested and to
make the market here as large as pos
sible in order to secure advantages
in car shipments. Report at once, if
interested, to Mr. Chas. Dietzel, Un
ion City. The crop is a profitable
one. One crop of berries sometimes
pays for the land it is on. Put in
some berries this year.

Love Among the Churches.
Dr. Lyman P. Howell gives some
examples of the lengths to which pet
ty bitterness between sects will some
times carry men. "A visitor in a cer
tain town which had four churches
and adequately supported none, asked
a pillar of one of one poor dying
church, "How'o your church getting
on?" 'Not very well,' was the re
ply, 'but, thank the Lord, the others
are not doing any better.' " Chris
