SPRING HAS GOME; HERE'S FIRST POEM Spring ban arrived, or if there U any doubt about that there are cer tainly bIruh. Ole NeUou, It. F. D. carrier on route one, believes the worst of the winter In past at any rate and voices his sentlmeuts In the following verses entitled "The Mall Currier's Kxperlence:" Forty-one below rero, Seems we're frozen hard as rock, Is the experience of a carrier rii-klng pennies from the box. In the employ of the government Its laws we must fulfill While traveling through the coun try Down dale and over hill. The good Lord with his flurries Muy sometimes block the way, ButUenerul Hitchcock up and says: "Make It, boys, or I'll cut the pay." In the winter snow Is deep And your feet are cold and wet, It's then the patron comes and says: "It seems you have upset." They expect a card from mother; If It don't come then they shout: "That's the most provoking car rler; He dou't make half of his route, "I'll call up the postmaster, (It will sound well to the neigh bor) And over the telephone they cry: 'Say, where's my last week's paper?' " but we fellows mustn't kick. For.a thousand plunks a year We should overlook these things And feel we're glad we're here. Iu winter It Is cold. In summer hot and sunny. After all, It's such a snap, Seems a shame to take the money In sleet and rainy weather And lu darkness we may roam, But we cheerfully sit upon our seats A slngtiig "Home Sweet Home." And as we eud our Journey Near the place of our abode, We thank the Stars and Stripes we're done That long and tiresome road. When we show up at the office, Happy, too, I must confess Thut hupplness Is rudely shocked Iiy a note upon our desk From the postmaster. "Dear car rler: As you're hardened to the knocks ' Please try to put Smith's mall In his And not In .lones' box." CHOOL CHILDREN'S INDUSTRIAL FAIR OF HOOD RIVER COUNTY r. You can make the feed-box pay for your Brush here's how one salesman did it. He figured out that he could double his earn ing capacity with a Brush and asked his em ployer to get one for him, but his employer who owned a big car, laughed at him told him it would cost too much. 2 X So the salesman offered to buy and main tain a Urush at his own expense, if his employer would continue to give him the usual livery allowance. His employer agreed. At the end of eighteen months he had saved the cost el his Brush car cut of the livety allowance and greatly increased his value to his firm. Now his employer equips all his salesmen with Brush cars. Tho libera y Everyman's Car 350 Men in all lines of business Salesmen, Storekeepers, Insurance men. Physicians, Farmers, Tradesmen, etc. are waking up to the fact that the Hrush extends their territory, increases their earning capacity and saves time and money. The Liberty-Brush has placed a real auto mobile within the means of Kvcryman. The records of the Brush prove conclu sively that it affords cheaper transport at ion than the horse, trolley or train. It is the great est utility and economy car ever produced and its efficiency is guaranteed by the largest manufacturers of high-class automobiles in the world the United States Motor Co. We represent the Liberty-Brush car here, and are prepared to demonstrate its value. Come and see the Liberty-Brush, or let us call for you and take you on your daily round of business activity.
