"Whatever happens might have been worse, and will grow better as fast as we consider It good" is pasted in his hat. Looking back over my life, I always reflect that my sorrows and, believe me, I've had my share have been only blessings in disguise," said the big. good-looking -leading man with the Alcazar Players. We held a little chat at rehearsal and most of what I'm putting down caught in my memory as he pranced back and forth from cue to cue. "A boon worth coveting," he opined, "is to be able to see the lesson In whatever comes and to see it when it comes. If we can do that we can smile in the midst of tears. I've found that I can scatter my own trouble if share somebody s trouble, because more than likely the troubled one Is braver than 'I am, and that makes me ashamed." SenHe of Humor la Aid. Albert McGovern has cultivated a healthy sense of humor one of the best antiseptics for the emotions, a smile -t himself. "And if I can t smile, I laugh because I can't,!" he says and smiled as he said it. "Being overserious propagates all sorts of disease jiggers in one's per fectly good system, but a hearty laugh will kill 'em off." he says. He is earn est and energetic and life to him is a splendid game. He knows its rules, plays fair and is always expecting a victory. He's a sort of count-your- mercles man, and I get the impression that he's always counting up the nice things that are happening to pit their length against the miseries In a 100-to-1 shot. Mr. McGovern yes, that's his really name is a Southerner from Algiers, La., and his father was a minister. Didja ever know a minister's son, if he had red blood at all and particu larly, one with good looks. who didn't run clear 10 me Dioer extreme oi nis parental ministerial teachings? Albert McGovern ran away from a boys' school and played bits with a "repertoire com pany for three months before his folk found It out. He had another boy tret all his mail and by the time the teach ers and his parents had a get-together meeting he had listened too long to the call of the calcium. Deception Is Foreign. Fortunately, his people forgave the deception and bade him Godspeed in his new venture. Air. McGovern's moth er is still his best pal, and he told me a very funny little story about the first f" Albert McGovern. Leading Man With Alcazar Players, Who Is Dohis Some Klne Acting; In The Sons ot Songs." 4 time she ever saw him act. He was a 16-year-old super, weighing 98 pounds, and padded out all over t fit nicely into a page's suit. He carried a spear, and waited on E. H. Sothern, with not a line not one word to speak. "After the performance," said Mr. McGovern, smiling as he recalled it, "my mother said, 'Well, Mr. Sothern may be a bet ter actor than Albert, but Albert has much the better shape.' " This leading man says he has one ambition he'd satisfy If he had a lot of money. Td buy' me a great big farm and make a home for all the mon grel dogs, the illy-treated, sick or starved or hurt dogs. I'd give 'em homes, and turn 'em out to pasture. I'd see that every dog had his day if could give it to him. And I'd let Spotty have the best corner." Spotty, hearing his or her name, came out from un der my chair and shook hands. Spot tiswoode Edeson McGovern is Spotty's name. And he or she is a Boston bull. Bob Edeson, with whom Mr. Mc Govern played two seasons, was Spot ty's donor. I like Spotty. He or she is the only actor-dog I ever met that didn't want to take a bite out of me. Restaurant Man Convicted. James Gerasmas, proprietor of a coffee-house at North Sixth and Flanders streets, was found guilty of maintaining a nuisance in violation of the prohibition law, by a jury in Municipal Court yes terday afternoon.

Hill. Professor Shaw arrived In Portland yesterday and promptly made Inquiries into the boycott camoaign and Into other activities through which the women of Portland hope to effect a re duction In food prices. "The boycott Is all right but It shouldn't be necessary," commented Professor Sliaw. . "We ought to beat the high cost of living before we arrive at the boycott stage." Professor Shaw prides himself in be ing an old-fashioned, outspoken Indi vidual and has a reputation through the Northwest for his homely, common sense expressions on the every-day af fairs of life characteristics that also were common with the late Mr. Hill. Wante Blamed for Prices. "'Live' sanely,". advised Professor Shaw. "People waste more food than they eat. They order about twice as much as they need when they go into a restaurant. If you order a steak they bring you one about three sizes too big for you. As a rule about Half of it goes to waste. That's what causes the high cost of living. "It's the same with almost all other food commodities. Waste, waste, waste! You see it everywhere in the home, in the markets and in the public eating places. . It's time we called a halt on this extravagance, this sinful waste. We are throwing away, almost every day, as much food as we eat, and many all around us actually are suffering for the want of It." Boycott Continues. Activity toward the immediate relief of the high cost of living continues through various channels. The egg boycott remains firmly in effect. Good fresh eggs now are well estab lished in every retail market at 60 cents a dozen. Wholesale egg dealers report that they are selling few eggs to retailers. The retail dealers fear further reduc tions and don't want to stock up on the present wholesale price, which is 40 cents. Another mass meeting will be held at the Public Library on Saturday night when the women's committees who htve been working on a compilation of vari ous eggless menus will make their re ports. All persons who have recipes of dishes that can be made reasonably without the use of eggs are requested to report them at Saturday night's meeting. MRS.

In that month, of the year 1816, the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society, a voluntary association, began to receive deposits. 5 Other communities soon began to follow the example set, and the savings bank movement spread slowly but surely throughout the States. The combined result of the first century of thrift campaigning is that nearly nine billion dollars has been transformed into capital the kind of money that works and serves the Nation as well as its individual possessors. (From the World's Work) Half a century and seven years ago the Ladd & Tilton Bank was. established in Portland. Its historical record has been closely identified with the growth of the city and state, and of the Northwest. In this extended period of time it has served thousands and thousands of depositors, doing all possible to make their relations with it profitable and agreeable. To give to its depositors the co-operation which a first-class bank can properly bestow is one of the aims of this pioneer bank. We invite you to make this your banking home.

Vie want the people of Portland to know that all letters like the follow ing are truthful and genuine: Towanda, Pa. "I took a little or phan boy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very ill and a bad cough set in so that he cougrhed night and day. After trying everything, nothing seemed to do him any good, until along In Feb ruary I got a bottle of Vlnol. After using half the bottle his cough began to improve and two bottles entirely cured his bronchitis and he gained in weight so that he doesn't look like the same child." Harry A. Stephenson, Towanda, I'm.. The reason that cough syrups fall in such cases is because they are pallia tive only, while Vlnol removes the cause being a constitutional remedy in which are combined beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese pepto nates and glycerophosphates.
