DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK FOR IT
Simple Matter of Finance by Which
Frederick Became Possessed of
All-Day Sucker.
Frederick has not yet learned the
addition nnd multiplication tables, but
bo has reached such an understand
trig of finance as a verb transitive
that one wonders as to his future.
"Here, Frederick, you bo mother's
big man and take this empty milk bot
tle to the grocery on the corner und
bring back a full bottle of fresh milk
for baby."
"And I puy the money to the man,
mumsloT
"So, dear. You know how wo get
It Homcllmes. Tho mnn will churgo
It."
"Haven't you got any pennies, mum
slo?" "No, Frederick, mumslo hasn't any
pennies for candy this time. Now ho
cureful. That's a nice little mnn."
Frederick returned safely with a
bottle of best grade milk. AIbo, he
had n line all-day sucker lu his mouth.
"Why, Frederick I I hope you didn't
ask the grocer to give you that can
dy I"
The sucker had to bo removed be
fore the youngster could articulate.
"No I wouldn't ask I paid for It."
"I'aldl Whore did you get tho
money?"
"He give mo n nickel for the empty
bottle and then I pay for the sucker,
uud thenthou ho charge you for Uio
now bottle milk."
WHAT REAL VACATION MEANS
Play Is the Foundation, and That Con
sist of Doing Anything That
I Not Work.
A real vocation, If you can get one,
consists of play, asserts Preston Slos
hon In thu New York Independent,
l'lay lu tho npMslte of work. I'lay Is
whatever Is done for Its own sweet
suke. If you build a lire to warm
yourself or to cook u dinner you are
at work.
If you hulld u buullro because you
like to see sparks redden against tho
sable background of the night you uro
ut play. If you dance to tmprovo
your waistline or to learn a nuw step
you urn working.
If you danro becnuso you "Just
can't make your feet behave" when
tho orchestra stnrlH, you uru playing.
If you go Hulling to catch llsh you
are us much at work as If you wero
building bridges or writing editorials
to make money. If you go llshlng In
tho true llNliennan'tf spirit you won't
care much whether they bite or not.
Thu vacation mind Is a law unto
Itself. If It enjoys an occupation It
keeps on while tho enjoyment lusts,
thought every liber of tho tired body
may he shouting "gult."
If It ceases to enjoy an occupation
It stops ut once, though It create con
sternatlou all around. A real vacu
tlou Is a trip Into a fairyland, where
the unlives never heard of duties or
obligations and the only law Is "Do
what you really like."
Cherry and Plum Tree.
Can you poslthely distinguish be
tween a cherry tree and u plum tree
In the spring of tho year before, thu
trees carry fruit? ion may think
that you can, yet, so similar are some
cherry aud plum trees that eventual
ly you will surely fall unless you em
pluy tho simple rule that trained hor
tlculturlsts follow. That one lufall
Iblu guide Is this: Tho leaves of thu
cherry, both lu the hud und Just after
emerging from the bud, are folded to
gether like the pageti lu u book, while
tluwui of thn plum urn rolled up like
a uiagaxlne. And, by the wuy, tho
leaves of tho peach are foldot like
those of the cherry, and the leaves
of the apricot am rolled like Hiomi
of the plum.

Battery
The best reason we can give you for
liavlng your battery looked to be
fore you start to tour it that it's
just plain common sense. A good
deal the same as taking along a
spare tire, or an extra set of spark
plugs, or a couple of headlight
bulbs.
If It's right we'll say so. If it
isn't well do what's necessary to
bring It up to the mark.

The
laW
Bridge Emergency
The people of Multnomah county are con
fronted with the serious problem of traffic con
gestion and loss of the present bridges span
ning the Willamette.
Four years ago 36,000 vehicles crossed our
bridges daily, while now 67,000 vehicles cross
each day and our bridges are rapidly becom
ing useless under the very heavy and rapidly
increasing traffic they were not designed to
meet.
We Must Have New Bridges
Over two years will elapse before new
bridges can be built if approved at the com
ing election. What will the increasing prob
lem of traffic mean at that time?
Owing to it's central and natural location,
the Burnslde Bridge must be rebuilt. The
old bridge has about outlived its usefulness
and we must rebuild our most used, and con
trally located bridge.
The new bridge is ninety feet in width,
with sufficient height and ample approaches,
and is designed to meet our great problem of
traffic congestion.
