Dinty Moore was rather akinny, No spare meat as I've recalled; He never was just really handsome -Truth to tell he was quite bald. Spent his younger days, in earning Gold to keep him in old age; Never cared a darn for dancca Mind who always on his wage." Now a funny thing has happened: Dinty Moore has fell from grace, If you'll notice when you meet him There's a look about his face And it really looks quite jazzy; Yes his walk is jazzy too, As he trips along down main street And utarts to waltz but that won't do! FirHt thing vhen ho wakes up mornings, Waltzes right into his pants Then does the schottische by the cookstove, As all the time he softly chants "Waltz me around again, ftosle" Guess he knows that stuff alright, Hut the way he does the foxtrot I'll say right now it is a fright. When he's gone and reaches Heaven, And Peter opens wide the door I reckon Dinty will mark time then Jazz right in on the golden floor.

Wherever you find a farmer who is raising and fattening hogs, milk ing a few cows and keeping a good flock of chickens you will find a man who is in good shape financially. He is not behind with his accounts at the store or his interest at the bank, if he happens to be in debt, ! and he will not be embarrassed when This was the recent observation of the country banker-merchant in an aver age agricultural community in the corn belt. A staff correspondent of the Star was sent to the country to find in stances in which farmers were meet ing the present crisis successfully, with a view to writing a series of 'stories telling how some farmers were succeeding, where others were failing. After an extended tnp The Oregon clean-up squad, which jwas to have taken care of all un settled claims of ex-service men against the government, has been called into the district office at Seat , tie, Washington, by authority from Washington, D.

SCOTT, General Passenger Agent o HO It was here that Peter had seen his vision, in the house of Simon the Tanner, a building which the speaker himself had visited, and from which he had viewed the sea and the har bor. It was here too that Dorcas had lived in those New Testament days, known for her good works the first known president of a ladies' aid society. From Jappa the speaker had pass ed through the vale of Sharon, where the land tenure, at the time of his visit at any rate, existed under the identical conditions of the days of Abraham, when he bought the cave of Macpelah. It was a steep climb to Jerusaleum, 2800 feet above sea level. Jerusalem had been 13 times overthrown, and each time it was rebuilt it had to be raised on the foundations of its own ruins, with the result that it lay 80 feet higher than in the days of Christ. Dr. Dunsmore pictured the four or five gates, one of them only, the Jaffa gate, capable of admitting a carriage. This gate strangely enough, had been widened upon the occasion of the visit of the ex-emperor of Germany, when he was Crown Prince. Through the winding, ' haphazard streets, Dr. Dunsmore led his aud ience to the Mosque of Omar, built on the site of Solomon's Temple, and to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock. The account wa3 the more interesting in view of the recent publication in a popular magazine of stories by Talbot Mundy upon the British occupation of Jerusalem, in which the author deals extensively with the topography of the city For a moment one visioned the little groups of elderly people, still wear ing the ancient costume, and con ducting each Friday morning their ritual of lamentation for the de parted glory of Israel at the wailing place of the Jews Saskatoon Phoenix. Total 332,416.27 or milks cows, is getting along bet ter than his neighbors. Such farm ers generally get along better than their neighbors regardless of whether times are good or bad. Under the present circumstances one would expect the hog, dairy and poultry business soon to be over done, and those not now in one of these specialties will hestitate per haps to make a change at this time. Over-expansion in hog production may be leadily brought ' about, for swine are quickly multiplied in num bers, and in advance of such in crease the total quantity of pork production may be substantially en larged by making each hog a few pounds heavier than usual, a thing that nearly always happens when hogs are making money. But over production of dairy and poultry pro ducts is not so easily brought about, and not so likely to occur. One can scarcely recall a time when the price of butter fat and eggs has not been higher proportionately than that of other farm products. This is natural because of the con ditions under which these materials are' produced. It is true that eggs are usually cheap in the spring, when everybody's hens lay and but ter fat is low priced in the flush of the grass season when almost any kind of a cow gives a good flow of milk, and the farmer doesn't ob ject particularly to having milk be cause he is obliged to stay home and work anyhow. But making the hens lay in winter and keeping the cow in full flow of milk the year through call lor a degree of intelligence and of attention to details that is out of the ordinary. While it is true that anybody who will can suc ceed with hens or cows, he cannot do so without putting forth more than average effort and taking more than ordinary pains. It is mainly because of these facts that poultry I and dairy products are seldom so fa LIABILITIES Capital stock paid in Surplus fund Undivided profits $23,912.27 Less current expenses, interest and taxes paid 16,818.25 DEMAND DEPOSITS, other than banks, subject to reserve: Deposits due the State of Oregon, and deposits due county or cities and other miblic funds Individual deposits subject to check 174,892.95 25,000.00 7,500.00 7,094.02 19,734.36 Demand certificates of deposit outstanding Cashier's checks of this bank outstanding payable on demand.
