T he plum ber has come into his
own, so to speak, th ese days, aud
w hile he m ay be th e b u tt of in
n um erab le jokes in fair w eather,
far-sig h ted individuals are carefu l
to give him no offense w hen the
chains a re clan k in g on th e re a r
w heels and
w hen th e g entle
zephyrs from Mt. Hood a re cooling
the brow. T h ere is a fam iliar say ­
ing, "E very dog has his day.” W ell,
th e plum ber is g ettin g a w eek of it
rig h t now and no one envies him
his job. Some folks say a plum Ser
likes to see a bad spell of w eather,
but then som e people are n a tu ra lly
sa rc a stic anyhow .
T ake it all
around, a plum ber is a good nat-
ured so rt of fellow, and w hat if he
did forget som e of his tools and
have to m ake a second trip back to
th e shop, th e storm is over, C h rist­
m as is com ing and “we should

A le tte r so a d ­

of p erso n s who would an sw er th a t
descrip tio n before th e rig h t one
w as found. No doubt Miss Eliza
beth Jo hnson. G resham 's efficient
p o stm aster, who has held th a t of
flee since 1922, would be th e first
one to "give it th e once-over." If
it did not a p p e ar to belong to her
it would probably next go to Miss
Em m a B. Johnson, who is th e Miss
Jo h n so n best fitted to claim the
distinction, since she has been em ­
ployed for n early fo u rteen year ou
th e O utlook force as linotyper,
w here she has become ex p ert in
her line of w ork. T he next try
would be eith er Miss C ora Jo h n ­
