You must either run your bus iness or have it run you. The greatest blessing that befalls people is that all o f their prayers are not answered. Many of those who have the courage of their convictions also bear scars to prove it. The only pleasant thing about paying taxes is the thought that you have something taxable. Trying to save money by not ad vertising is tike trying to raise chicken&witkout sixhling eggs. Dr. Frederick A . Cook, the dis coverer of the North Pole, was given a grand reception upon his arrival at Copenhagen Saturday. He said: “ l first planted the Stars and Stripes at the Pole on April 21 ’08. My God! 1 tell you it was a thrilling sight. While the mercury scores lielow zero the blood coursed through my veins as I realized all it meant. After the first flag waved awhile I took it dowu and planted the second. I now have the first with me. I hope the Pole will soon be reached again and my record found. My two days at the Pole were devoted to observations, except while eat ing and sleeping. At that time the weather was ideal and my ins truments were in perfect order.” He will return to his home iu Maine soon. Oregon’s many products that are now being gathered at the annual harvest are adding largely to the wealth of the state and the various items that enter into the yearly re turn from the soil make a fine show ing individually and collectively. The state’ s wool clip, which has now been about all marketed, will put $4,000,000 in the pockets of sheep raisers of the state. The years clip amounted to 20,450,000 pounds of fine quality and good prices were realized, Eastern Ore- gou wool getting a maximum price of 23 cents and the Willamette Val ley crop reaching a top price o f 26 cents.

Aids Nature The great success of Dr. Pierce's C.oldefl Medical Dis- covery in curing weak stomachs, watted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that “ ('»olden Medical D iscov ery " supplies Nature with body-build ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach te digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The “ D iscov ery " re-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, puriftea and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health. i f y o a r d e a l e r o f f e r s s o m e t h in g **/>•* a a g o a d , " I t la p r o b a b l y b e t t e r FOR Mim--.lt paya baiter.
