Northwest msde vacant by the
recent retirement tf Mr. A. C.

five years closed on March 1.
Mr, Bear comes into this new
responsibility more than ordinar
ily well qualified, having been
Mr. Jackson's Assistant for up
wards of seventeen years. He is
a native of Illinois , and follow
ing his school studies, turned his
attention to newspaper work.
gaining his first experience in
tiie "hfll box" of the composing

an all-round handy man for both
the editorial and mechanical de

paper, and regards that training

U. S. VETERANS' BUREAU
Application forms for Adjust
ed Service Certificate loans are
now available to World War Vet
erans at any postoffice of Ore
gon and this Regional District,
according to information received
by Kenneth L Cooper, Regional
manager of the U. S. Veterans'
Bureau from headquarters in
Washington, D. C. Loans can be
secured upon the execution of
the war veteran's note and prop
er identification after April 1.
1927.
American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, D. A.V.ofW. W.
I and Red Cross officials as well
as postmasters have been author
i.ed and instructed to assist in
preparing these loan requests.
Prospective borrowers i.re urg
ed that loan requests be examined
and mailed to the regional office
of the Veterans Bureau, together
with the Adjusted Service Cer
tificate, rather than to secure per
sonal contact with the Bureau Of
fice, Sucn action will bring more
projipt and satisfactory result
than a visit to the government
office. There is no advantage in
personal contact wilt a Bureau
rtpresentetive, pott mas teas and
service organizations being qual
in tea to assist war veterans in
this matter.
Mr. Cooper states too that there
should be a definite need for the
loan before the request is made.
If a local bank is willing to make
the loan, the Bureau should not be
requested to do so. '
You will need a Gold Digger
whether you go to Nevada or not.

A celebrated Welsh basso profundo,

Good Reading
OiMid literature baa a charm In
coniparanie, out it lias also a power
immeasurable In the forming or trans
forming of nation as of an Individual
character. The people that have the
cleanest, healthiest literature will he-
mine the cleanest and healthiest peo
ple. A good thought wisely expressed
and thoughtfully applied Is priceless
for Its endurance. Throw It on the
winds and It will And It bourne; sink
It In the deepest woter and It will
reach Its haven, for the noblest
thoughts are the breath of Almlghtl
nets, and remain Imperishable to the
end of time and beyond. Exchange.
