DON’T STOP
"Keeping everlastingly at it
brings success" they say.
Let’s don’t stop. Let’s keep ever
lastingly at it. We are making a
wonderful start for the new year
and have accomplished a great deal.
Keep on going in high, before the
year is over, we may have accom
plished more than we ever dreamed
of.
Great things have happened to us
all ready this year, greater things
can happen if we try to help them
to happen. It’s up.to us.
One thing we can do is to make
clear-up day a great success. That
will be accomplishing' a great deal.
The Umatilla project Is in better
condition than any other part of the
state because we have the natural
advantages for one thing. For an
other reason, our people have not
been extravagant, they have not
bought expensive cars, or other lux
uries that they could not afford, they
have kept within their means, and
now when the times are tight, and
money Is scarce, they have enough
to get by until conditions become
normal.
So let’s don’t stop keeping on. We
have everything in our favor and
let’s make use of everything.
In nearly every case these plotters
come to us uninvited from some for
eign shore. Since they do not ap
prove of the manner in which we
manage our own affairs, the logical
course would be to send them back
to the countries from whence they
came. They may find conditions
more to their liking in the hotbeds
from whence they fled.

WOMAN
When a man exhibits extraordi
nary intelligence and progress the
world looks up to him as a man
among men. His father comes in for
a good share of credit for having pro
duced such a son. The mother is
generally forgotten. Women usually
are, where credit is to be given.
And yet it is the mother who
brings him into the world—who is
his constant teacher from infancy to
maturity—who starts him on the
road which travels with such distinc
tion and success.
Women have never been accorded
their just dues in this world. It
will be many years before they ever
receive them, although each one
brings us a little closer to the goal.
