dent of the First National Bank ot
Now Haven. Conn., In which he
apeaks of having visited the Land
Products show held In Portland, last
Fall and recalls especially the exhib
it of the Clatskanle Development
League, In which he was greatly In
terested. He enclosed some seed of
a now kind of bean which he stated
developed pods a yard long; giving
It aa bis opinion that in this climate
with the soil so evidently to be
found here that Mr. Gordon should
bo able to improve at least half a
yard on thut. The bean are of the
polo variety and atrlngless. Thus It
would aeem that Clatskanio and vi

I try to be a reliable man,
A man with a tongue that is true;
I won't promise to do any more than
I can,
But I'll do what I say I'll do.
I admit I'm not clever, that some
times I'm "blunt."
' That I have neither "polish" nor
"air."
And altho' It's not "ln me" to "put
up a front,"
When you need me, you'll agree I
am "there."
So count me a man on whom to rely
Who Is building for lasting success:
And I'll pray that your specie may
ever increase,
That your shadow may never grow
