JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 18 ST.'JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1922. NUMBER 21 ST. St, Johns Community Club Tliu St. Johns Community Club will moot next Tuesday evening, April 3, in the Y. W. C. A. building. A number of matters of civic importance will bo taken up, and especially the project of having Jersey and Richmond streets placed in re pair. These two streets especi ally are in need of immcdiato repair, as there arc numerous chuck holes that aiv an annoy ance and source of danger as well, and it is high time that they receive the repairs they arc so sadly in need of. Every member and others as well who are interested in the betterment of conditions in this community should be in attendance on next Tuesday evening. My neighbor, Hiram Henry Hicks, is fond of talking poli tics; that is a theme that makes me sore, so Hiram Henry seems a bore. But I'm the sort of sap head wight who always strives to be polite, so I pretend that II. II. Hicks, with nil his talk of poilics is holding me entranced, spell bound. I do not yawn or rubber 'round, but hang upon his throbbing words as though they well might charm the birds Hut when II. Hicks runs dry and I would talk of books or pie, or any topic I adore, he looks upon me as a bore; he in terrupts and yawns anil sighs, and hot tears gather in his eyes, and then he reaches for his hat. his parasol, brass knuckles and gat, and hastens from my hum ble shack he cannot hear to hear me clack. And Hiram Hicks is short of friends; the people shun him as he wends along the main street of our town; ho as a bore has wide re nown. Hut when I trip along the street I'm smiled upon by all I meet. This mortal, then these facts ulVord: You must be willing to be bored if you would bore the other toff, and talk his blooming whiskers off. Walt Mason in Hubbard En terprise. I wish to announce to my friends and patrons that owing to the impaired condition of my health, I have decided to discontinue my business of hem stitching, buttons and pleat ings. I also wish to express to you my sincere thanks for your patronage that you have so kindly givcij me the past five years. Mrs. Hortha Montgomery. Never Give Up Trying The greatest men in the world have not been without re verses. But they have come up again, strengthened by the struggle. Take General Grant, for one striking instance. He was a dismal failure for half of his life. But he never gave up his high Ideals or his efforts to attain them. "When 'the crucical time came he was ready for it. His opportunity had been creat ed within him. At the close of the first day of the battle of Shiloh, a day of sevcro Union reverses, General Grant receiv ed from his much discouraged chief of staff, McPhcrson, the report: "Things look bad, General. 'Wo have lost half of our artillery and' a third of the infantry. Our line is broken and we are pushed back almost to the river. What can wo do! "Reform the lines," said Gen eral Grant, "and attack at day break. And won't they be sur prised?" Surprised indeed they were, and routed before 1) o'clock. Even the strongest hearted must fail, not only once but again and again. But what of that? Life is a campaign,unt a single day's battle. Everyone who succeeds must meet such erisises, and must avert disaster !. a prompt reforming of the Hi m and a surprising early at tack. There is no real defeat for the one who holds on cour ageously in a right cause. The only permanent and hopeless failure comes through a soul surrender. Exchange. Just the other day wo saw an article which read something like this: Once upon a time a man had a furnace which was not heating Ids home with satis faction. One day he became an gr.v and going down to the basement stood before the fur nace and exclaimed: 'Wot an other lump of coal will you get until you give me. more heat." The 'poor fellow' froze to death. Herein is a lesson for advertis v . S'ii n men put a little ad in the paper and if it doesn't br'ng the results that he expec ted, he says: "I won't adver tise again until the other adver tisement brings, results." So the poor fellow freezes to death. If you want further proof of this, look up statistics and coin pure the llgures of failures among advertisers with t ho llg ures of failures of non-advertisers those who freeze to death.

Jersey St. The Portland Ilnihvny, Light and Power Company is in the host physical nnd financial con dition it hns been in 8 years j it spent more money Inst year for improvements nnd betterments than in any year for the past decade; it increased its surplus over 15 per cent in the past 112 mouths, nnd the future looks more promising than ever.Pres ident Franklin T. . Orilllth re ported to the stock holders at their recent meeting. That there is every reason to expect that the company's earnings will continue to increase was a prediction made in the presi dent's report. Among the im portant features covered in President Gritllth's statement to the stockholders were the following: During the first six months of 1!)-1 the earnings of tlio city railways showed in creases over t tie corresponding months of 11)20, due to the fact that the comparison was made between an 8 cent fare in 1!-1 against a 0 cent fare in the lirst half of l!)i!l). The number of passengers carried, however, in 10121 was less than in 1 !)!!(), due to t ho gradual decrease in in dustrial activity nnd the conse quent unemployment. During the last six months of 10121 with the same rates of fare as during thejnst half of 1!)12(), the mine tion in street railway passen gers was greater than during the first half of the year 1!)121, hut this reduction was fairly uniform during each of the months of the last half of 1U121. indicating that the unemploy ment in Portland did not mate rially increase after July 1st. Children's Farm Home During an' examination in an Knglish school the inspector be gan to question the pupils on punctuation when the mayor, a pompous individual, interrupt ed with the remark: "It is foolish to bother about commas and such like." The inspector flushed angrily, and turning to one of the boys he hade him write on the blackboard, "The mayor of Chccsijigton says the inspector is a fool. Now," he continued, "put a comma after Cheosiugton and another after inspector." The boy 'did so.iind the mayor kept quiet after that. Men take naps In HOOKHS' CAPS. Appeals arc constantly com ing in to W. l T. I'. Headquar ters asking for a place in their proposed Children's Farm Home for some needy little ones. These come in behalf of the half orphaned as frequently as for thftso bereft of both par ents. One touching message came over the telephone the other day from a father of two children, (i and 8 years old. His divorced wife who had desert ed him taking the little ones with her had married again and her husband refused to care for the children. He had written the father that ho was sending them back to him. They were already on their way and he had no place for them and no one to care for them. Few peo ple realize how the divorce courts are adding to the list of grist. Children so orphaned arc usually much more in need of a wholesome Christian home life than are those bereft by death, for it is often, a tiling they have never known. Would it not be a disaster to have such innocent victims of the parents' crime or mistakes placed oven temporarily in refuges for de linquent children where they would run grave risks of moral contamination f We are re joiced to discover a greatly in creased interest among repre sentative business men in Port land in the Farm Home. This is evidenced by voluntary con tributions coining in with ex pressions of confidence in the Christian organization which has inaugurated it. The cot tage system itli its "real moth er" idea, the domestic and in dustrial training and the whole some country life far removed from the ' exciting and crime tainted atmosphere of the city are features especially com mended. Will not all who love children and who have the good citizenship of our country at heart, speed up their gifts in order that the "waiting list may give place to a group .of happy inmates ."'--Heported.

They have been working hard and have scoured several high class bouts The main event will bo between Abe Gordon, champion feather weight of the Northwest, and Otis Stringer, the local boy. Stringer has been training hard for this bout and figures that he can give Gordon n lot of trouble. It sure looks like it good match. Another number on the cord will bo a wrestling match between "Guff" Bella my, the Bachelor Club bono crusher, and Harvey Grotchcn, of LaGrandc. This promises to be good as well as several oth er bouts they have lined up. Refreshments will bo served. Admission f0 cents. The bouts start promptly at 8 o'clock. The Community Church ac tivities still show the o Heels of sickness. However, wo nro hoping that another week will see all well and out again. Sunday school was well attend ed in spite of the number kept at home. Roland Swart led Hudeavor. At the evening ser vice Veda Carlcy sang. This was Miss Carlcy 'h first at tempt at solo worlc, but she did very nicely. The sermon thought for next Sundey morn ing will be, "In the Garden, or the Strange, Lone Struggle." Mr. Fassctt will sing. The eve ning service will be one of those practical, helpful ones that you will enjoy. On Friday night, April 7th, there will be a lecture at the church ou Alas ka. This will be a look at the North as it was in the early days. The man giving the lect ure was without food for thir teen days and the only one of his party to come thru alive. A series of special meetings will be held in the church the week before Faster, April i)-l(5. These will be evangelistic in nature, but essentially Chris tian. We hope to have our new song books by that time. Heported. The Tax Burden Bishop F. Ileil of Allon town, Pa., will preach in the Kvaugolical church next Sun day morning at eleven o'clock.

DEARING'S For Fine Chocolates Ice Cream, Tobacco and Cigars 311 South Jersey Street The poorer you urc the hcav-' tor the tax burden you bear, al though you may not pay n eent directly in city, county, Htato or federal tuxes. The indirect tax which you pay, however, which is included in the cost of producing every article you cat or wear is the largest single item in your cost of living. Do not fool yourself into thinking you escape taxation by loading the tax burden on to the other fellow; ho hands it hack to you as part of the cost of doing bus iness with n little added for good measure on each transac tion and the ultimata consumer pays the total tax load. It is the every day citizen and work man who must nwakcH to the' fact that relief from excessive taxation rests in his hands. Ah long as ho votes for men and measures which add annually to the tax load just so lohg will tlio cost of living steadily ad vance New sources of wealth to tax, new forms of taxation and special taxes ou certain lines of industry arc no remedy for the present evil of excessive taxation. All these jnakeshifts simply collect more taxes and add to the burden which handi caps the operations of industry and employment of labor. There is just one way to get re lief and that is to actually re duce taxation by cutting oil city, county and state overhead, consolidating ofnees and .ollioial functions and making less need for tax revenues.
