UMATILLA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES IS IT YOU? Everyone knows him. He is energetic, painstaking in everything that he does, and hon orable to a degree. He is considerate of the faults of others, and realizes many of his own imperfections, striving consistently to overcome them as best he may. He is not a saint, and neither is he a great sinner. He is what we term a good citizen and a credit to thfs community. Is it you?

He is interested in anything that will increase his profit. He knows the importance of good seed and well bred stock. He has been talking about it for years. Thought and a little investment pay big dividends in buildings as in stock and seed. When good farm buildings will pay for themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed and machinery in one season—surely they can be called a good investment.
