Don't sit down and fold your arms la resignation to that ancient and time-worn cry of the pessimist that business Is going to the how-wows be cause this happens to be the Presl dentlal Year. If everyone did this we would surely all go broke. If you who are now reading this take that stand you will start a small circle of depressing Influence on business that will widen and be augnmented as the days and weeks go on and you with your wronged neighbors will suffe tho consequences. But if you will throw off this old, silly superstition and get out and PUSH, talk sanely, act sanely, dig for old business, create new business, cast off that chief mourner expression you will start a circle of active optimism that will re' turn agreeably surprising results. This country of ours is too big, too solid and too sound at the core for any one party or man to send it to everlasting distraction.. It may make a difference which Bill you vote for, but when Bill has taken his oath and settled down in the White House, you will wake up and find that business Is wagging on, that the world still owes us a living but that we have to dig for it The sua will shine Just the same, the rain will fall and the seeds for this and next year's crop will grow just as well as ever they did. If you get busy and do your duty you won't starve, but if you wait to see whether It is to be Bill T., or Bill B-. that is the lucky man, your larder and your pocketbook will grow empty. Wake up in the morning with a smile, keep the smile on all day. Tell your friends that times are tfxd, Don't say that even the weather is depressing. If you can't say some thing good about the weather let the subject alone. It's a mightv poor sub ject anyhow. Study th nolitlcal situ ation of the country with a view of voting as an intelligent voter should Form your opinions now and be ready to stand up for them. That is your duty.' But whatever you do, don't say that times are hard, that money is tight and everything will go to pieces i( this or that thing don't hap pen. Forget it. Remember this: Times are what you make them. Ev- . eryone has a telling influence on the conditions of things. If you have none, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You are the one that is to blame. Wake up and get busy. THE REAL BOOSTER. On this subject, the Brownsville Times writes as follows: ' "There is much talk these days of boosters and boosting, much of it that is backed by the real work along that line, and a good deal of it that Is purely hot air. "The real booster in a town is the man who, always has a good word for that town and its institutions, the man-. who, when a stranger Is within the gates of his town will exert him self to speak a good word for the place. "The real booster is always to be found lending his financial and his moral aid to any project which has for its object the betterment of his community, and one who is never found shaking his head wisely and questioning the motives of the men who are trying to do something for his town and consequently for him. "The real booster seldom stands on the street corner and bemoans the fact that the town is going to the bow wows. He does not have time to sit around and complain while doing nothing to make things better. "No, the real booster, the man who's entitled to the name, will tell you that his town is the best one on earth. "He will always be found on the firing line, and if he has a kick, be cause business Is dull, he keeps it to himself, and lets you think he is doing more business than anyone. "The real booster contributes to the uplifting and betterment of his town and her people; he takes his lo cal papers and advertises in its col umns. He Is a genial, energetic, whole-souled Individual, whose life Is lived that others are made happier and better. Here's to him. May his tribe increase." All of this is most true and yet in the last analysis this does not really define a Real Booster. The real Booster Is the farmer whose farm is up to the scratch, where the buildings tave the necessary coats of paint, where the fences are clear of weeds, the tools In their sheds and not camp ing In the weather waiting for tho next year's work. Tho real Booster tri the rural community Is the ; man who takes pride. In Ms farm, be It large or small. This man's fruit Is just n little better than his neighbor's. Ho has something to exhibit when tho time for the county fair conies, and the sightseer does not view his place as does the Arkansas Traveler. The real liooster Is tho umn of city property who takes a prldo In seeing that his place Is neat and tidy. There is no pile of dirt and tin cans nt his back door, his small garden Is free from weeds and his lawn is a carpet of green. The real Booster is the merchant who knows how to keep his clerks off the counter, whose windows nttract the passer-by, whoso stock is never allowed to grow dusty. This man sees to It that he is never without tho staples that his customers call for and makes it a point to get the wanted extras. He knows the comparative values of different kinds of stock and does not stoop to substitute an in ferior article beeauso Mrs. Jones does not come for the goods herself. The real Booster is the woman who sends her husband to work in the morning with a good wholesomo break fast, whose house looks "Homey" and tidy both outside and In and whose children show maternal care -without being trussed up In frills and clothe that they dare not sjpll. This U the woman that does not answer the door bell in a gown that would make the rag bag and the wash tub ashamed. This is the mother and wife who makes the evening home coming and staying home worth while. These are the people who make living worth while and who make the town or community attractive to the home seeker and prospective buyer and builder. Boost and the world boosts with you; knock and you'll become a dys peptic. ORGANIZATION OF FIELD DIS TRICTS, FOREST SERVICE. Plans for the Forest Service field headquarters which are soon to be established in the west are being rap idly worked out in detail. Each headquarter' .vili be modeled after the Washington office. In all there will be six district headquarters, one located at each of the present inspec tion district' headquarters Portland, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Salt Lake, Denver, and Missoula, Montana, or some other points equally well or better located for the purpose. At the head of each office there will' be a District Forester and an Assist ant District Forester. Under these will be experts in charge of the vari ous lines of work. A Chief of Graz ing will have charge of range matters. A Chief of Products will handle the A Mistaken Idea Some people have an idea that in order to have a bank account they must have a large sum to deposit; that the bank does not care to be bothered by small ac counts. This, however, Is not true of the Bank of Oregon City whish' welcomes new ac counts, whether of $1.00, or $1000, and the same courtesy and service is accorded the small depositor as those In more fortunate circumstan ces. v It Is our object and wish to serve the public In finan cial matters In a manner that shall be satisfactory to all old or young, rich or poor. ! We want your, banking business and will be pleased to have you open an account with us. The Bank of - Of egon City preservative treatment of timber and strength tents and study market con ditions. A Chief of Unds will look after such nmttora as land examina tions. Tho Office of lJimls deals with questions Involving the validity of claims asserted under tho public land laws; applications for special use of tho resources of tho National Forests; changes In boundaries of Forests, and tho examination of lands applied for under the Act of Juno 11, 11UW, for agricultural settlement. Tho Forest Service, however, never passes. on tho titles themselves. That Is entirely a matter for tho General Land Office to decide. In tho cases of applications for homesteads under the Act of Juno 11. JSHlfi, the Forest Ser vice la called upon to decide whether tho land Is In fact more valuable for agriculture than for timber, and If It Is, to recommend its listing as open to entry and patent. In the case of claims tho Service ascertains whether any facts which seem to show that tho claim Is not a legal one, In order that National Forest land may not bo unlawfully taken up. But It rests al ways with tho Land Office of tho In terior Department to decide whether the title should or should not bo granted. The branch of Lands In tho district Forest Service organization does not mean any new assumption of land business. - f There will also be In each district a Chief of Sllvlcultture, who will have charge of timber sales, planting and sllvical experiments, and a Chief of Operation. Tho latter will supervise tho personnel of the Forests; the per manent improvement work, through an engineer in charge; the accounts of the district. Including receipts, dls bursements, and bookkeeping, which will be directly supervised by an ex pert accountant; and the routine bus Iness of the district. In each of the lines of work the management will be 1 ntho hands of a man who Is a specialist and who has had thorough experience both in the West and Washington. The foresters and clerks at each district headquar ters will number about fifty. The establishment of theso field dis tricts will bring the Service Into more immediate touch with the public. It Is merely the completion of the move ment, started some time ago, to have the Forests administered as far as possible by men actually on the ground. The change will not affect the In- vestlgative work of the Service, which will center, as hitherto, in Washington. Mr. Pinchott Is expected soon to name the men who will fill the various positions.
