JUST SMILE, SMILE, SMILE.
All ye who are weary-minded and believe we are having hot
weather, smile; all who think the heat is intense, smile again,
for the heat here is not oppressive, the breezes blow coolly, the
country is in good shape from a crop .standpoint, the money is
tight, but no tighter than elsewhere, so smile, smile, smile.
If you believe the hills are greener a little way off get it out
of your head. If you can't get it out of your head without
taking n trip, just take one. Go south and see the cotton
planters who arje broke; go east and see the factory people
anxious to work but no money to operate on; go into the mid
dle states and see the farmers all stretched out with their
credit breaking; go south again and see the sugar planters
tearing their hair, and cast your eye.s sideways and see the
oil producers raving like wild maniacs with crude. down from
$.1.70 to $1.00 a barrel and their costs still at top notch prices.
; And, after you have seen them all, heard their tales of
woe, witnessed many being closed out by people whom they owe,
then come back to Oregn and view this section of plenty, with
sufficient for all, wi-th few people forced into bankruptcy, and
Smile, smile, smile!

I- WHERE HAY IS KING AND COW IS QUEEN. T
That's Tillamook.
Yes, where the hay is king and the cow Is queen that's
where the Tillamook' cheese grows.
This was the song of the Tillamook crowd on the special
Chicago train yesterday through La Grande carrying the ones
who will preach the gospel of the west to the middle and
eastern states folk.
It seemed good to see a return of the' Tom Richardson pep
and push ; it seemed good to see a bunch of men who believe
with all their hearts in their own state and counties, for that
is real life.
When a person gets to the don't care stage, when he gets
to a point where he is willing to drift and his blood will not
tingle in support of home state, then that person is neither fit
for a place among men nor is he a candidate for good citizenship.
Tillamook bets on the old cow with the crumply horn; she
bets on the milk and cheese and Tillamook has a pay check
every month sometimes it is not so big but it is a check and
meets expenses. It is a good dairy country but no better than
many sections of Eastern Oregon. When we get to the viewpoint
the Ti'llamookers have taken we will see a greater Eastern
Oregon.

There are whispers that vessels and

tales of sea pirates operating tts in
