ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY. MARCH 3, 1922.
NUMBER 17
An Ingenious Explanation
I mil not much of n innii to piny
curds. It seems to me pretty
much o u waste of time. If 1
have nny leisure time I would
rather talk to people or rend a
good book. The other dny I saw
a very dignified old gentlcnum
playing a game of solitaire. Wo
fell into a talk and the subject of
cards came up. He told me that
the origin of cards was lost in
the mists of antiquity, and then
he told me something about his
deck of cards that was new to
me. Shuffling the cards through,
he threw down an ace and said:
"Mack in the old days when bluo
lews were in force and when n
man was arrested and put into
jail for kissing his wife on Sun
day, it was considered almost as
bad to own a deck of cards as to
indulge in horscracing or in
throwing stones at your grand
mother. One day a sailor was ar
rested for playing solitaire on the
Sabath. He demanded a trial
and whet asked what he had to
say for himself, he said, 'It is
true that I use these cards for
playing on week days, but on (ho
Sabbath they are my Bible. I
was reading them when I was ar
rested.' Before committing him
for sacrilege, contempt- of court
and various other things, the
judge asked him to explain what
ho meant. He said, as he laid
down the ace, just as I have,
'When 1 see the nee, it reminds
me that there is but one God.
The deuce brings to my .mind tlio
Father and Son, while the tre is
a reminder of Father, Son and
the Holy Ghost. The
spot makes me think of Mtthew,
Mark, Luke and John, the four
evangelists. When 1 come to the
five-spot I am reminded of the
five wise virgins, and the fus
spot brings to my mind the six
days in which God made the
heavens and tho earth and all
in them is. Here is the seven
spot, which represents the sev
enth day, the Holy Sabbath, on
which God, rested from his la
bors. When I lay down the
eight-spot, I think of the eight
righteous people wived from the
flood, Noah, with his wife and
their three sons ami their wives.
The nine-spot tolls mo of tho
nine lepers who were healed.
The big casino reminds mo of tho
Ten Commandments, which I try
to make tho rule of life. When
I lay down tho king, I think of
the King of Heaven, who rules
over all, while the queen brings
to my mind the Queen of Shcbn,
who came to see Solomon,thc son
of David. The jack makes me
think of the fallen angel who re
belled and was cast headlong in
to outer darkness. When 1 see
the four suites tho henrt, dm
fnond. club and spude I am re
minded of the four weeks in the
month. The HI tricks in a deck
of cards stand for the 13 weeks
in each quarter of the ycar.while
tho 12 picture cards represent the
12 months of the year. There are
o2 cards in the deck, which
stand for the 52 weeks in the
year, and if you will count tho
spots on the cards assigning 11,
12 and 13 to the face cards, and
counting the joker as ace, you
will find thero are 305 spots,
which stand for the 3G5 days in
the year; so you eo, judge, tho
deck of cards is my Bible and my
calendar, and when 1 was arrest
ed I was engaged in profound de
liberation and study.' Whether
the judge excused tho prisoner or
not 1 do not know, but if ho did
not lie should have. Fred Lock
ley in Oregon Journal.
Taxpayers are reminded that
income tax returns for the year
1021 must reach the olllee of
Clyde G Huntley, Collector- of
internal Revenue, not later than
midnight March 15 in order to

docs not mean that it will be suf
ficient for tho taxpayer to mail
his return oil March 15. Tho
return must bo mailed at a time
that will insure its dlivery in
the oflice of the collector 'at
Portland not later than midnight
March 15. Furthermore, tho re
ceiving stamp on tho euvclopo
will be accepted by the collector
as the actual time of delivery.
Taxpayers are especially urged
to bear in mind this fact: It in
not sufficient that their returns
lie mailed on March 15. Returns

DO YOU REALIZE-
What the term "HOUSEHOLD GOODS" in
your Insurance Policy Covers?
If you are thinking of taking out household goods
insurance or even if you have already, call and ask for
a copy of our Household Inventory and fill it out. It
will pay you. It's useless to carry more insurance
than you could collect, aud it's not business to carry
less insurance than you need for protection, .

A rural editor when asked to
parse the word "kiss" proceed
ed thus: Kiss is a conjunction
1 because it connects. It is a verb
both active and passive, because
it signifies to act aud be acted
i upon. It is a preposition because
it shows that the person kissed
is no relation. It is an interjec
tion (at least it sounds like one),
and it is a pronoun because she
always stands for u kiss. It is a
noun because it is a name for os
cillatory action; both common
aud proper; second person, nec
essarily; plural because there is
always more than one; masculine
aud feminine gendur, mixed; fre
quently the ease being governed
by circumstances and according
to rule 1: "If hojSiuite yon on
one cheek turn the other for an
other smite." It should always
begin with a capital letter, be of
ten repeated, continued as long
as possible aud ended with a pe
riod. Kiss may be conjugated,
but declined never. Hx.

for by her many friends.
The new ofllccrs took over the
responsibilities at the Communi
ty Sunday School last Sunday It
is the purpose of the school to
provide something of interest to
all ages, from the little tot to the
adult age. At the morning wor
ship service the pastor's theme
was "The Church Service,' with
particular emphasis on the neces
sity of a prayerful, emphatic at
titude on the part of the wor
shipper. James Vrooman led the
helpful discussion of good books
and reading was indulged in. It
was interesting to note the close
relation of the Bible to all of the
best literature. The evening
service was in charge of the
Christian lindeavor Society. Re
ports were given by our dele
gates who attended the State
Convention at Salem Mabel
Heed, Huth Gordon aud James
Vrooman. Theso reports were
decidedly interesting. After the
reports the newly elected C. li.
nlliccrs were installed into their
olllees. The service was closed
by the convention song by Huth
Gordon, "Have Thine Own Way
Lord. Harry Fassett will sing
at the morning service next Sun
day. The Christian lindeavor
meeting will be at (i:!IO. These
lindeavorers are real live folks.
The evening service will bo a
character portrayal by tho piw
tor, Neighbors. The threads of
the story aro woven around the
lives of Peter and Boreas. It
will not only be interesting it
will be helpful. Reported.

THE PIGGLY WIGGLY PLAN
THE PIGCLY WIGGLY IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY STORE IN THE WORLD
The customers select of their own accord the articles desired from shelves on which
the prices of goods are plainly shown by price tags. On entering the customer takes
from a rack a basket loaned him for use while in the store. All articles selected are
placed in the basket, and when he has completed his purchases, the customer passes
in front of paying station, where a clerk quickly makes out a ticket on an adding ma
chine, collects the amount of the purchase, transfers the articles to a paper bag, and
the customer files out through a turnstile while the clerk returns the basket to its rack,
The'display shelves are so arranged that the customer passes in front of every article
in the store before leaving it.
