W. A. Jatthews, missionary
to the Simnasho Indian Mission,
has the right system of - putting
his section before the public and
let his neighbors know what is
going on. He has sent us a very
interesting news letter.
Wapinitia should get in line,
Out of all the people of that pros
perous section , certainly one is
patriotic enough to get news notes
of interest there. Tygh Valley
with all its resources, should by
all means have a representative.

for the good of Southern Wasco
County. Show the public that

what we go after. Plainly speak?
ing, the dead communities are
robbed by the live ones. Again
we say wake up! If you want
better homes better land values,

and that Is "publicity."

Sotue merchants are s? all-fired ,duni,b, yqu winder how they
ever come to sell the stuff they have in store, and keep the
sherriff from the door. Old Blukson is a Jot that way; he
seldom has a word .to say. I ask -him for a pound of lime;
he wraps it up and all the time, he wejrs a tragic air ,qf
doom, and sheds an atmosphere of gloom. He never chats
he never spiels, nor jumps up high and cracks his heels. JIe
isn't gr.uchy or unstrung; he never learned to wag his tongue
Oh silence is a golden thing, whentjsn't worked too har4 by
jing. But none of us will stand up string for men that
gabble ajl day long, ai elocute a thousand miles in Jifty
seven varied styes. The dealer wh,o js prone to talk until
you hear him round the block, is wprse than t'other kid
of bird, who'6 never known to spring a word. But if you've
scantling you wonld sell, you ought to boost it wisely .well
and if a gent should buy a plank, to build himself a dipping
tanjc, you might suggest ere ho'me he speeds, that yo,u have
other things he needs. I called on Lumber Dealer Gaff, to
buy a shingle and a half. Ije put my purchase ju a sack,
and wrapped a string around arjd back, aiad as he toiled in
manner gay, he talked to pass the time away,. "The farm
ers in busy troops are building stately chicken coops; jthe
winter soon will hit the rpad, and hens must have a warm
abode, or they won't lay theii lucious eggs, but stand
around on frozen legs.'' And that recalled the fact to me
that I had hens some ninety-three, and ere I left that lum
ber store, I bought a wagon load or more, of stuff to build
a chicken shed; its standing now all paiuted red. And.
that's the way big sales are made, and that is how men
build up trade. Talk porn cribs at the proper time, or
prove a silo is sublime, but in an incidental strain, and not
as though you'd gladly sprain your conscience which I
hope is hale-in eagerness to get the kale,' Suggestion is a
noble art; the wise mau gets it down by heart.

Come on Old Tight Fist, get
a little warmth in that soul that
God gave you, Loosen up
and for one day stop hating your
drawn up hide and make some
one happy. If intoxication will
spur your benighted soul to such
a deed, by all mean get glorious
ly drunk,
"Where Is My Wondering Boy
Tonight?" Within the minds of
thousands of dear mothers that
throbbing strain is penetrating
their hearts at Yu'etide. Moth
erly instinct and love, the bless
ing of mankind. What a beauti
ful thought is that of a mother.
Purity in the highest and a
friend to her child no matter how
low in sin. Christmas brings to
one's mind those cherished thots
of mother. How much trouble
and sorrow many have caused
their dearest friend, thoughtless
ly perhaps, but it was the sleep
less nights and unjustified tears,
that hurries those last short years
that should be of peace and happ
iness. Think of the mothers of
Europe, this Christmas day.
Think of the American mother
and the one that is your mother.
Write her a letter, send her a
gift, no matter how small, and
tell iier you love her. Again th ss
tears will burn a care worn fac e.
but they will be the tears of
gladness, and Bhe will kneel down
at night with a renewed feeling
of parental love in her dear soul
and pray to God that He will see
you safely across the pit iaus ot
this uncertain life.
