LOOK UP—SEE SOMETHING
The best and -surest way to bring
prosperity back again is for every
body to believe in it and talk about
it.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Farm Reminders
Two hundred roots of Washington
rust resistant asparagus have been
received by the experiment station at
O. A. C. to be used as propagating
stock distribution. This is the most
recent variety of asparagus and is be
ing planted for its vigor, resistance
to rust and general all around qual
ity. The roots were supplied by the
bureau of plant industry, Washing
ton, D. C.
Broccoli It is expected will be
grown in increased acreage in west
ern Oregon this year. 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.
