A good word spoken for your town
is never thrown away.
The fellow who always kicks and
never boosts is not a pood citizen.
His room is worth more than his
company.
Through the efforts of Senator
Charles L. McNary and the Oregon
Growers' Co-operative Association,
the United States Senate finance
committee has approved the House
emergency tariff bill in which a duty
of four cents a pound was placed on
cherries. Also, a duty of 20 cents
a box was placed on apples.
Claude E. Ingalls, editor of the.
Gazette Times of Corvallis, has the
right idea about folks buying home
products. After publishing two re.
cipes wherein Mistland prunes form
part of the ingredients, he says:
"And by the way, we noticed a Cor
vallis restaurant menu the other day
that quted California prunes. What's
the idea when we have far better
prunes at home?"

OLD PACIFIC UNIVERSITY
iSTUDENT GAINS HONOR
In a recent number of Forbes is an
appreciation of a former Pacific stu
dent, A. C. Gilbert. After leaving
Pacific he worked his way thru Yale
receiving the degree of Doctor of Med
icine. While at Pacific he won hon
ors in the athletic field as captain
of the college track and champion
amateur wrestler of the Northwest.
At Yale he won the school's gymnas
tic championship, over 300 cupa, med
als, other prizes, and in turn was se
lected to represent the United States
the Olympic Games at London.
Here""he established himself as the
world's champion vaultor, breaking
all previous records and was award
ed the gold meal by Queen Alexan
dria personally.
Early in life he displayed skill as
a magician and constructor of Blight-of-hand
apparatus. Upon graduation
he decided upon a career where he
could use constructive ability rather
than become a physical instructor.,
and much to the disappointment of
bis father, started the -manufacture
of toys.
At present this is the largest fac
tory m Ute world, namely A. C. Gil
bert Company, New Haven, Conn.
The famous Gilbert Erector Toys are
made for boys and instruct them in
the fields of engineering, carpentry,
running of weather bureaus, actual
operation of wireless stations and
many problems in physics and chem
istry. ' -
During the war the manufacture of
toys was prohibited to a large degree
and when it seemed that the decision
of the National Council of Defense
was going to put a ban on erectors,
Mr. Gilbert interviewed the cabinet
personally which resulted in terming
them educational essentials, ThUB
the business has grown in 10 years
from $37,000 sales with only $366
profit to over 2,000,000 sales with
about $250,000 profit
Mr, Gilbert attributes his success
to the fact that his business is con
ducted on the right ideals thru per
sistent effort, constant study and
careful judgment College Index.
