USED HER HEAD.
The true story is told of a smart young woman who wrote
a note of thanks for the interview to a prospective employer
who had bluntly told her that he could use only experienced
people. A few days later, surprised by her courtesy, and sensing
that he was dealing with an unusual personality, he asked her
to call again, and offered her a job.—Exchange.
POSSIBILITIES.
There are two possibilities for this section, which, if
utilized as experts believe they may be. would supply a much
needed revenue for the farmer and stockman. One is livestock
and poultry farming with the outlook particularly good for the
expansion of the turkey industry. Livestock raising including
sheep, goats and cattle, could be used to suppliment the income
from small patches and farms.
And if sufficient interest is shown, a cannery for Cottage
Grove is something that those who want to see this section step
ahead could profitably work for. What is needed more than
anything else in this particular line is the growing of more
truck and fruits. Prices are somewhat discouraging of course,,
but it takes volume to assure the establishment of a cannery
and once the cannery was established we might look for better,
prices; at least more stable prices.
COLLECTIVE
EFFORT BRINGS FAMINE.
••
—
A total of 1,200,000 persons were employed by the federal
government at the last count noted.
We learn that a walnut tree at Oakland, sold for $25.00 cut
$25,000 worth of walnut veneer, much of which went into fur-,
niture for the new capitol building.
Another walnut story was told U3 by an old timer, who
said that a friend of her’s once owned a walnut tree which sup
plied enough walnuts to pay the taxes on the place in addition
to a large number of walnuts given the neighbors and a supply
kept by the family.
Mammoth Banquet in France
President Carnot, of France, gave
a banquet in 1889 to 15.000 mayors,
senators and deputies, for which
there were 195 cooks. 1.050 waiters,
23,000 bottles of wine and 7,200

Mortimer, Latin-French Name
The name Mortimer is of Latin-
French origin and means “dweller
by the still water” (or literally
"dead sea”). As a surname it has
been prominent in English history,
being the family name of the earl
of March, who became Edward IV
