HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1929. PAGE FIVE By Arthur Brisbane Well, John D. Won. Now, Therefore, I. The Quick Hoover Mind. Goodbye, Tom Taggart, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., wins his flght in the Standard OH Company of Indiana and Colonel Stewart is defeated. There have been few more bitter fights in the history of high finance. On Tuesday John H. Perry, learn ed editor of Reading, Pennsylvania, Jacksonville, Florida, and other places, predicting the Indiana re sult, said: "It Is bard to fight dollars. In fact, you can't do it" He added as an afterthought: "It Is absolutely Impossible to fight dollars when they happen to be right" Colonel Coblentz of San Francisco and New York remarked: "To the victor belongs the oils." Colonel Stewart, bidding farewell to Standard Oil of Indiana, and probably preparing to run some other big oil company, had the sat isfaction of reporting financial suc cess for 1928. In the last year Standard Oil of Indiana has earned more than eighty-three million dollars profit, or 18.76 per cent on its capital. Earnings of the campany increased more than fifty millions, as com pared with 1927. President Hoover, who summons the extra session of Congress to meet on April 15, is not an emotion al man. But he must have been moved on writing the words, "Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, Pres ident of the United States of Amer ica, do hereby proclaim and de clare," etc. After you have done farm chores as a small boy there must be con siderable satisfaction In writing, "Now, therefore, I, President" On April 15 farmers will have their day and Congress will tell them, if it can, how to put a disor ganized Industry on a substantial paying basis. No manufacturer could make his plant pay if he had to close down all Winter. The famer must do that, and it is part of the problem. President Hoover has a quality more important to executives than an, except sound judgment. HE MAKES UP HIS MIND QUICKLY. No "wait a day or two." When told of the Mexican revolu tion, the President did not wait a week. In five minutes he had told his Cabinet "our business interest and duty demand support of the existing Mexican Government" He shipped guns and ammunition from army stores to President Por tes Gil, stopped shipments of am munition, guns and airplanes to the revolutionists, and arranged for shipments of fighting planes to Mexico's Government This does not imply complete ap proval of all that the Mexican Gov ernment has done, or disapproval of the revolutionary causes. It means that the President means to uphold stability of government Tom Taggart of Indiana is dead. He had an interesting life while it lasted, and it lasted seventy-two years. He was a political boss for a generation, controlling his State. He defeated Champ Clark and nom inated Woodrow Wilson for the Oh, Boy! They're Good! Have you tried our delicious ice cream so das, Sundaes, or milk shakes? Ice cold drinks of all kinds at all times at our fountain. AND A GOOD MEAL ANY TIME ELKHORN RESTAURANT presidency. Now that he is In heaven, and presumably knows everything, Mr. Taggart knows just how useful he was when his influence gave Wood row Wilson the presidency. Not Guilty A man was charged with kissing a girl against her will, and during the proceedings the girl went into the box. "You say," said counsel for the defense, "that my client took you by surprise, and that you gave him no encouragement?" "I do," replied the girl. "Doesn't it strike you as strange that he should have managed to kiss you as you were unwilling?" added counsel. "Look at my client, and then consider your own height. Why, you are nearly a foot taller than he is." "Well, what of It?" retorted the girl. "I can stoop, can't I?" Wife: "I thought, James, you were only going out for a second." Husband: "Yes, dear. And I've had it." She was only a shoemaker's daughter, but she was good to the last. 3 A Bjr Helena Rubinstein. Uj l t. A Lov gnardg Um roaei of thy 11 pa And flies about them like a bee. Thomas Lodge Palmists will tell you that you have a Hand of Promise and a Hand of Achievement. And In the Hand of Achievement the lines change with life's experience. But we need no palmist to tell us that the lines of the mouth change as our characters change, for better or for worse. Hardships and disappointements harden the curves of the lips, and corners droop unless you call will power and courage to your aid and smile In the face of bitter things as well as sweet. And a hard mouth is a dreadful thing because It shows to all the world that life is bigger than YOU are; that you cannot rise above diffi culties; are complaining for what you cannot gain. A hard mouth has lips firmly, closely held together, drawn tight against the teeth, and the soft curves are thin and very harsh. In the domineering person the lower jaw is apt to give away the secret, assuming a pugnacious, pro truding angle. The dissipated mouth has lost its fine lines; has become loose-lipped. The thickened lower lip usually betrays weakness and sensuality; curves are downward. A sense of humor makes a beau tiful mouth, lips are curving, gener ous and mobile. A humorous mouth has an eternal little curve at the corner of the mouth as though it would break into a sunny smile at the merest hint of provocation. It is a beautiful mouth to look at, a beautiful one to have. But what can you do about your mouth? Absolutely everything! You can remember not to clench your teeth, to pull your lower lip, to overwork your mouth and jaw mus cles through that most unpleasant of all bad habits gum chewing. You can bear in mind that teeth kept slightly apart make for a greater fullness of the lips and for a sweeter expression. You can re member to set a watch on your mind, to refuse to permit anger or cruelty or bitter thoughts to run away with you. You can remember not to bottle up your feelings, either the good or the bad ones. For suppression Is good neither for the soul nor the face. And while we are on the subject of sup pression, let me warn you not to mistake self-control tor suppression. When you suppress a thought it is still there in your mind, brooding, waiting to spring to life at the ear liest opportunity. Self-control is not only control of action. It is thought control as well. Ting-a-ling!! Tlng-a-ling! The telephone rang and Br'er Rabbit answered. "Yes, Indeed what? yes? cer tainly you don't tell me! I'd be gladto you don't say well, well, well and the children, too mercy on me yes, right away." The old fellow hung up the re ceiver and went over to where Mother Rabbit was seated. "You know," he began, "to-morrow is Easter and I was just talking to Mrs. Squirrel on the wire and she says she Is going to have her chil dren make little nests and put them all around and then the hens will lay eggs in them colored eggs and that will be a lovely present for the darlings on Easter morning. Let's do the same. Are the dears up yet?" "This is Saturday and I let them sleep a wee bit longer," replied Mother Rabbit. In a few minutes there was a noise upstairs and in a few moments the two Bunnies were downstairs. Mother Rabbit outlined the plan to them and they were perfectly de lighted! Just as soon as the Bunnies had swallowed their breakfast they ran out to get the material for the nests. They came back and asked their mother where they should put them. "Under the trees, and in the bushes," replied Mrs. Rabbit In about an hour the two came back empty handed and told their mother where they had put the nests. Then they went out to play. Easter morning the two bunnies were up bright and early to peek in their nests. Billie found a blue egg and Bobbie found a red one and who DO you suppose put them there? The little hens? I wonder!
