Merchant of Sandy
Donates Auto Park
Sandy, March 25. Paul Meinig, a
prominent merchant of Sandy, has de
cided to donate the use of his park for
an auto camp ground for tourists till
after the 1925 fair. This natural park
has been used for out-of ?door celebra
tions ever since pioneer days.. The
Community club will probably take
up the question of water and lights.

Will She Outdo Vive La France?
The record of 14918 pounds of milk,
883.36 pounds of butterfat, just com
pleted by Birdie Owl of M. L. P.
415227 is most creditable and ranks
her among the Oregon persistent pro
ducers. It is certain that she will be
given every opportunity in the Ore
glow herd of making a long-distance
record. This is her second record,
having produced 714 pounds of butter
fat, and winning an A. J. C. C. C. gold
medal as a two-year-old.
In her first two lactation periods
she has excelled the reocrds made by
Vive La France. Birdie producer 1598
pounds and Vive 1526 pounds of butter-fat.
Birdie is owned by W. M. Ladd,
Portland, Oregon.
Detroit The new Kickenbacher ru
tomobile plant is producing 20 cars a

Making Hammock.
Hammock Takes Up Room Usually
Occupied by Third Person Riding

Six screen-door springs, a barrel
hoop, and a yard of heavy cloth were
the materials necessary to make a
baby's hammock for the auto tonneau,
which gives useful sen-Ice and com

detached, and swings baby safe from

;16" inches in diameter, and was cut In

hammock. These half hoops were held

The springs are wired to a ring at

A New York criminalogist states
that out of 22,000 criminals he has
examined only four were college grad
uates, while in a test of 1000, seven
per ecnt were high school graduates.
The question arises, is this because
education does not appeal to criminals
or is it because criminals do not
"take" when exposed to education.

A wholesale paper house has been
established in Astoria called the As

recently imported two cargoes of

and the advisability of buying Oregon
made goods do not have more to say
on this subject.

One thing the world is greatly in
need of is the ability to see the other

the coal miner would feel about the
strike if he were an operator, how the
operator would feel if he were a min

were mere innocent Dystanaers wno

There are merchants and mer
chants.
A short time ago we had a fire a
big fire and the fire boys, having
dressed in a hurry, had left their
money in their other pants. They
needed cigarettes and asked a mer
chant to trust them for the price till
the morning after. They got no cigar
ettes from him.
Another merchant when asked
brought out cigarettes by the "carton,
gratis, and was glad of the chance.
