XXXI hooi i;ivi:u. u!:Dinx. tiiikmuy, -fix.: i.u No. 1 SELDOM, if ever, you wiil st-e sotni-tHn like this in an ad: - We are sorry to huu- to d!sai'i.int so many people that have depended upon us iv plants and early vegetables; we must confess we have our churn too full. One of the most perplexing questions in our line of farming is that the liest laid plans must lie changed some times over nijjht. Some crops demand all your attention and you must decide which one to throw overheard. Trust worthy help is almost unobtainable and we cannot make both ends meet by the irloonu r help that picks strawberries and apples. Even our road that we bought, built and did business over for years has U en confiscated and we almost wish we could quote a piece of trot-try appropriate to tiie occasion. We think that this explanation was due our customers. (hr 2lTth Glnttnry arnrk If arm J. H. KOHI R(4. 0nif (rowers of Nonpareil Vent-tables Look Out! Look In! Look On! What the Dub Suid In 1492 'Twas easy in the days of Rome for the working man to own his home: the government gave pensions to the "Cits": an hour's sweatin' o' the brow was worth a year of labor now when Cato couldn't live upon his wits. The poorest bellhop wore a cane; the washerwoman drank champagne; the public purse was full and fat and free; each citizen a fortune made upon the Forum Board of Trade. Those were the days of opportunity. What the Dub Said In 1900 When Kit Columbus sailed the seas the redskinned aborigines owned Frisco and Chicago and New York; no Landlords then collected rents; Man hattan sold for sixty cents and turkey cost far less than beef or pork. If you.d invested a nickel there you'd now be a multimillionaire --be John 1. Croesus' double toa "T". 'Twas easy then for a man to rise didn't even hae to advertise. Those were the days of opportunity. What the Dub Said In 1919 No chance today, my boy, I know, like fifteen, twenty years ago, when industry and talent meant success. Today a man that wants to grow needs pull or quite a pot o' dough. Hard wrk today don't get you much, I guess. Don't you believe the things you read then anybody could succeed - but now it's limited to two or three. Wish I'd a been beginnin' then like all our present famous men. Those were the days of opportunity. Opportunity is here and now, let us make the most of it. But don't forget to "hang a mon key wrench on the safety valve."

FIRST NATIONAL BANK Hood kiver, Oregon Portland realizes the benefits of encouraging home products to such extent that the mayor of that city has designated by proclamation the wek of June 9-14 as OREGON PRODUCTS' WEEK The principle applies with just as much force in Hood River as in Portland, and that is why The Highland Milling Co.
