I believe too much of the time of the

BANKS OPTIMISTIC
"The bankers of the important finan
cial centers, who have been steadily
and actively participating In handling
the financial problems which have
characterized the period of readjust
ment irom war conditions, are uni
formly optimistic on the present fi
nancial and business situation," said
Edward Cookingham, president at the
Ladd and Tilton bank, Portland, Ore
gon. "It is Important that all of us
bankers,' manufacturers, whole
salers, farmers and wage earners
recognize the fact that the economic
adjustment now going on is inevitable
and must run its course. However,
there are so many favorable features
to the present situation, and so much
of encouragement In the future out
look, that it is difficult for me to be
otherwise than optlmlBtic."
NOTICE
I wish respectfully to appeal to the
generosity of the people of Tolido for
the war-sufferers of Central Europe.
Any amount will be thankfully re
ceived, forwarded to the headquarters
in Portland and transmitted to Europe.
Sincerely yours.
Father Vollehregt.

MY AUTO 'TIS OF THEE
t
My Auto 'tis of thee, ;
Short road to poverty,
Of thee I chant.
I blew a pile of dough, '
On you three years ago;
Now you refuse to go,
Or wont or can't.
Through town, and countryside,
You were my Joy and pride,
A happy day.
I loved thy gaudy hue,
The nice white tires so new.
Put you're now out of true,
In every way.
To thee, old rattleJbox,
Came many bumps and knocks,
For thee I grieve.
Badly thy top is torn.
Frayed are the seats and worn.
Whooping cough affects thy horn,
I do believe.
Thy perfume swells the breeze,
While good folks choke and wheeze
As we pass by.
I paid for thee a price,
'Twould buy a mansion twice,
Now everybody's yelling "ice"
I wonder why.
Thy motor has the grip,
They spark plugs' have the pip.
And woe is thine.
I too, have suffered chills,
Fatigue and kindred Ills,
Endeavoring to pay my bills,
Since thou were mine.
Gone is my bank roll now.
No more 'twould choke a cow.
As once before.
Yet had I the "mon" again, ,
So help me John, Amen.
I'd buy a car again.
And speed some more.
MAKE IT SNAPPY GIRLS!
(With humblest apologies to Robert
Herrlck, who recognized the need three
hundred years ago.)
Pluck ye your eyebrows while ye may.
Daub up your lips and nose.
Rat up your hair 'most any way,
Slip on your sheerest hose.
Old Time Is fast a-flying, dears,
Go vamp 'em while ye can.
It ye be coy ye will In tears
Forever lack a man.

LAYING NEW WATER MAIN
City Marshal Schenck has a crew of
men busy this week laying a new water
main on Hill street and taking up the
old. one. While the old main was still
giving good service, it was thought
that it would -be economy to make the
change before the paving was put
aown, as tne old pipe has been In the
ground about 20 years.
SHIPPING OUT OLD
MILL MACHINERY
The old machinery from the Fischer
Storey mill which burned here two
years ago, Is being shipped out to the
Albany Iron Works this week. Four
carloads have gone out to date and
there will be several more before It Is
all cleaned up. It is certainly Improv

the way.

OUTCOME OF SPECIAL
LEGION MEETING
The outcome of the special meeting
of the American Legion, January 16th,
was gratifying. The Post voted unani
mously in favor of the Farm or Home
Loan and were very much opposed to
the cash bonus of $15 for each month
of service. The meeting considered
the question from the standpoint of
the voters and taxpayers and from the
opposite angle, that of themnolves who
are to be directly benefited. It was
decided the cash bonus would be a big
financial burden to the state and there
tore undesirable. Also that the Farm
or Home Loan would do more lasting
anrt pp"nanent good wHhout hnndl.
