Growling and grumbling does a lot of harm and no good. It produc es nothing but further cause for com plaint. The rays of the sun may be pep- Ing through the clouds that seek to cbscure it, but we can not see it as long as we keep looking at the mud beneath our feet. Look up and you will see some thing. I BELIEVE I believe in the stuf I am handing out. In the firm I am working for, and in my ability to get results. J I believe in working, not weeping; in boosting, not knocking; and in the pleasure of my job. I believe that a man gets what he honestly goes after, that one deed done today is worth two deeds tomorrow, and that no man is down and out until he has lost his faith in himself. I believe in today and the work I am doing, in tomorrow and work I hope to do, and in the sure reward that the future holds. I believe in courtesy, kind ness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do. I believe I’m ready—right now.” —Gateway Magazine. When a person finds that he does not fit in with a certain circle of ac quaintances the wise thing to do is to flit out again. A proper adjust ment can always be found elsewhere Some men’s heads are so full of brains there is no room left for com- mon sense. More people would reach the goal of success if those crowding behind would keep pushing. ALFALFA SEED 99.36 Pure Oregon Standard Germination 25c Per Lb.

In the end, the young man who sticks to the farm generally finds that the money sticks to him. Today never exists for the person who is going to reform tomorrow.

OREGON BEE KEEPERS ASSOCIATION HOLDS MEETING The confrence recently held in Portland by Oregon Beekeepers was perhaps the largest and most repre sentative Beekeepers meeting ever held in Oregon, visitors being present from nearly all over the state. Ex cept for the absence of one of the principal speakers, Mr. E. R. Root of Medina, Ohio, who failed to come, the two days program was carried out in schedule, and to say that the meeting was at all times interesting is very feeble way of describing our senti ments. Most of the time was taken up by lectures, and of these the one by Prof. H. A. Schullen, Corvallis, was perhaps the one that impresed the gathering most; his subject was Disease, Symptoms and treatment. Of business transacted may be mentioned the adoption of a Consti tution and Bylaws for the State As sociation, in this the Minnesota form is followed closely. A membership fee of $1.00 is charged annually, ex cept when a person joins through a county association when the fee Is 60 cents, the county association it self however pays $6.00, and at least five members must join the State or ganization. The question of join ing the National League was referred to the marketing committee who call ed for voluntary subscriptions to raise the $100.00 fee required, about $70.00 of this was pledged at the meeting, and the balance will un- doubtly be raised. A strong State Association will be of much value to commercial honey producers and should have the su- port of all; application for member ship may be sent to the secretary, H. A. Schulten, Corvallis. Efforts have been made to have Mr. Schulten come to this part of the State to hold some meetings, but as the funds for this work are limited It Is doubtful If he will be able to come unless local bee- keepers will pay expestes. It is ex- pected that the Association will en deavor to conduct cooperative buy ing of supplies as well as selling of crops; on supplies alone an associa- tlon can usually save its members 16-20 per cent; but if this commun ity is to benefit by this movement It is esential that a local or county or- ganization be formed, and we would suggest that this be done without de lay as It may yet be possible to do much work this season. 7 . , 4. CASA GRANDE VALLEY In the Valley of the Great House Where the buried rivers flow. Where the distant mountains vary From the tropics of the snow. Where the Desert is defeated And the luscious berries grow— There I build my home in plenty As the Indian—long ago. For the Casa Grande Ruin Proves what others may not know— That its valley fed a nation Through a century or so. That its farm were rich and many, Watered by the rains and snow Through an irrigation system Of those farmers—long ago. Alas! its nations warred to ruin. Red with blood did rivers flow. Till they sank beneath the sands, Leaving man a sterner foe In the desert that raised 'round him Where no useful thing could grow. So he left the Great House empty In that trek of long ago. Then the Desert gave the Valley To the Sun God and the crow Till the White Man saw it’s beauty Half a century ago. Now it blooms again with gardens Where the farmers reap and sow— For the have harnessed up the waters A b the Indian—long ago. In the Casa Grande Valley Where the burled rivers flow, Where the distant mountains vary From the tropics to the snow, Where the desert is defeated And the luscious berries grow— There I build my home in sureness In the desert sunset glow.

STRAW, MGR. Exclusive Representatives of National Builders Bureau OTIS SKINNER APPEARS IN FAMOUS “KISMET” ROLE In all the strength and breadth of fiction there is no more picturesque a character than Hajj, the beggar of Bagdad. Edward Knoblock, the play- wright, made Hajj famous in stage version of "Kismit,” and Otis Skin ner perhaps the best known and most popular actor in the country, immor talized Hajj during the years he gave life to this characterization on the stage. > The Robertson-Cole Company has filmed the famous play, which will be at the Playhouse soon and many people in this city are going to have an opportunity of seeing Hajj, the beggar portrayed by no less a per son than Otis Skinner himself. It Is a safe prediction that the swagger- ing, crafty, adventure loving and amusing old Bagdad vagabond will win every ones heart and in the years to come, when old plays are discuss ed, hlB memory will be green. On the stage Hajj made an In stantaneous hit wherever "Kismet” was playel; the screen version will do that and more, for on the screen Hajj has an opportunity far beyond the limitations of the speaking stage and Skinner’s interpretation of this iole in the screen version will stand for a long time to come as the finest study In character work that the moving picture cameras ever record ed. 1.1.

Growers should bear in mind that It is quite possible to over supply a local mar ket, and that the greatest success In broccoli growing and marketing has been accomplished by community growing with a sufficient acreage to ship out in car lots. In this way it Is posible to distribute the crop to all points where it is comparatively scarce. Make our store your headquarters when in Pendleton TALLMAN & CO.
