NUMBER 27
A. A. Muck, Republican candi
date for noiniimtion ns Multno
liinli County, .Commissioner, was
born nt .Jefferson, Win., July 7,
1800, and received bis education
in tlio public .scbools of Mar
quettc, Mich. He was in the
banking business at Lake Nebatf
niuon, Wis., tlien in tlie minim:
business in Michigan, Oregon andjlJevicw otllce.
WiiHlinitfton. He also ran a gen
eral mercantile business and at
present is engaged in contract
ing, lie served as president of
the town board at Iron River,
AVis., and president of the school
board at Lake Nebabainon, Wis.;
was twice elected mayor of St.
.loll us prior to its annexation to
Portland; was elected County
Commissioner of Multnomah
county in 1!H(1, and served-from
1017 to 1!)i!0 inclusive. In his
platform he says: "My record
for economical administration
when I served as Comity Com
missioner before guarantees sim
ilar economy now. Multnomah
county should demand its right
ful share of Interstate bridge re
ceipts, thereby reducing indebt
edness of nearly $1, ))),()()() the
county still owes for this bridge.
Interstate bridge funds should
be audited by the county auditor,
thereby saving ijilSOO annually.
The extra $li()() now jiaid each
county commissioner annually
lor unending one meeting per
mouth ol the IntcrsMte lirnlge
commission should be abolished.
County Commissioners should
devote their entire time to the
county's business, not a portion
thereof. I favor home labor,
home contractors and home pro
ducts." The people of the l'en
insula in particular should rally
to Mr. Muck's support, as he ac
complished much for this part of
the county, and will undoubted
ly do much more if again elected
to that olllce. It is the I'eninsU'
la.'s opportunity.
All churches, lodges and other
eliilis and organizations of St.
Johns interested in the "Wom

at Garden Springs, Ohio, Decern

For the past two years he has
been engaged in general insitr

Leonard Wood presidential pri
mary campaign and was elected

"Experienced and Qualillcd;

people of the Peninsula should
lend their suport to Mr. Walk

man and wil undoubtedly do all
in his power for this part of the
county.

The people who make mistakes
lead the world. The perfect peo
ple work for them, running er
rands and counting columns of
figures. There is no way to he
always right. Only trifles are al
ways true. Every great and ser
ious truth has its obverse side,
which is also true. Professor
William James was perhaps the
greatest psychologist of our time
hut the host he could do in defin
ing truth was this: The truth is
simply what will work. The gen
ius is not the man who never
made mistakes, or had his chance
thrust on linn, or was endowed
and all that; he is the man who
had no chance and was not gift
ed, hut who took the raw mate
rial of life and fate as he found
it and made somehiug flue out of
it. The only perfect person we
ever meet is the perfect fool. The
only one who never made a mis
take never made anything hut
failure, the worst mistake of all.
Tins faultless they are the hig
gest frauds of us all, Hare to
make mistakes in the pursuit of
success and you will make them
less and less. Ex.

l'earline was once known to
every housewife, hut where is the
housewife that thinks of Pear
line today f The chances are she
never heard of it, or will have to
stop and think just what Pear-
line was. When tlie manutactur
er of Pearline died, as the story
in the advertisement was told.the
ones succeeding him thought it
was so well known that it did not
need any further advertising.
"People know all about it, and
what is the use of further expen
diture?" they argued. There
are business men everywhere
who often take the same view of
their situation. They argue that
the advertising they have al
ready done has caused the people
to become well acquainted with
them. " The people know where
we are," they say. and so they
snuggle down into the cocoon
they have builded and in a few
years, sometimes not ttiat long,
they are forgotten. "The fact of
the matter is," said a business
man to us a short time ago, "if
you gel business today you have
got to go after it. And one of
the best methods in the world is
to advertise for it." Hx.
The teacher asked the children
in school the other day for all
those who wanted to go to heav
en to stand up. Hill was the on
ly one who did not get up.
"Why William," said the teach
er, "don't you want to go to
heaven f" "Not yet," said Hill.
The conservative thinking
man that knows is always found
