rE read an eastern Bank Ad re
cently In which the bank under
took to show that there is a difference
between Savings Depositors and other
people.
The contention was made that Savings De
positors do not have the worried look that other
people so often have and that generally speaking
they are a satisfied, contented lot.
Without arguing the case we submit that the
remedy is simple and certainly harmless so if any
reader of this advertisement is affected by the
spirit of unrest that at times seems to pervade
a lot of people, let us suggest a Savings account
and the regular weekly or monthly habit of add
ing to it.
Come to think of it a customer who has just
made a deposit in his savings account Does
Have a Satisfied Look. Try it.

Your appreciation of the coming of balmy days and
the Rlory of a beniKn sun, pouring its rays from blue
skies will be all the more appreciated this year after your
siege of wintry blasts.
In the cold weeks your chief enjoyment came from
reading perhaps. Now you will want to behold anew
the outdoor wonders of nature. Your eyes, as the poet
so beautifully says, are the windows of the soul. They
let in sunlight and pictures that please. Certainly you
are not doing justice to yourself if you allow shutters of
poor vision to rob you of their proper functioning.
We fit glasses for all purposes. Let us help make
those windows of your inner self such that your sense
of sight is one continual jo?.

BUTLER BANKING COMPANY
ILLICIT LIQUOR
CLUB TARGET
MUNICIPAL ROCKPILE IS PROPOSED
Boycott for Bootlegger and His Customers
Recommended Kxposition Kn-
dorsed Road Signs Tabu
The Commercial club in session Mon
day night started a precedent in the
activities of such organizations, when
it adopted by unanimous action a reso
lution that calls for social ostracism.
in other words the boycott, of bootleg
gers or citizens found guilty of pur
chasing wildcat liquor. Following the
adoption of the drastic resolution the
commercial body adopted a motion
calling for a committee to be appointed
lor a conference with the city cotin.-il,
whose members will be asked to ad Mat
an oramance tnat will establish a rock
pile, not only for traffickers in the
product of the illicit distillery hut the
patrons of the bootlegger as well.
The resolution was presented to the
club by E. O. Blanchar. It follows:
"Inasmuch a our officers have shown
unusual courage and persistence in the
enforcement of the prohibition law,
going to any length of personal peril
in the performance of their duties, be
it resolved
"That we commend heartily the
work of the county sheriff's office, the
prosecuting attorney and the municipal
officers of Mood River, and that we as
sure them that the support of the Hood
Kiver Commercial club is behind them
in their efforts to uphold their part of
our fundamental law, known as the
18th Amendment to the Federal Con
stitution. Be it resolved also.
"That we deplore the demand for il
licit liquor on the part of a small mi
nority of the people, that makes it
necessary that the tixpayers shs
maintain extra police officers for the
enforcement of law, and that we warn
all who are directly or indirectly en
gaged in this traffic that we shall use
every means in our power to support
the laws and bring on coders to
justice.
I he resolution s strongest proponent
was Kev. W. H. Moddy, who empha
sizeo me neeu ior social ostracism, as
he termed it, of individuals who by
their masquerading behind a blase
mask of Bohemianism laid the groum
work, through their own disrespect of
the law, for the worst radicalism tin
world has ever known, lie declared
that disrespect for the 18th amendment
would lead ultimately to the disrespect
of other laws, that some citizen who
refused to obey the dictates of the pro
hibition act on the point of its inter
ference with his personal liberties and
privileges might just as logically de
cline to observe the Mann white slave
act on similar grounds,
it has reached the point where we
must apply social disapproval in hiuh
places and in low, declared Mr. Bod
ay. ii i iouno mat a inucrier, a
baker, a banker.a lawyer or a preachci
were guilty of the act of patronage of
one of these purveyors of illicit liquor,
then 1 would withdraw my trade from
him. If 1 were a banker and 1 found
that one of mv patrons were involved
in the sale or purchase of bootleg
whiskey 1 would call that person in
and tell him that fie had impaired his
credit."
"We want Hood Kiver to maintain
its name and reputation as a commun
ity of refinement, said Mr. lioddy,
and not to degenerate to the point of
gaining the name ot a tough little
burg.
1 he rockpile appendage to the reso
lution was introduced by Hugh G,
Ball.
While the club took no Bteps toward
making any recommendations as to the
financing of the 1920 Portland exposi
tion the body unanimously adopted a
resolution of general endorsement of
the fair, and Truman Butler, who is on
the general state executive committee,
which met in Portland Tuesday, was
instructed to carry the resolution with
him for presentation at the conference.
Mr Butler, in reporting to the club
progress that had been made in prep
arationa for the fair, announced thai
the slate had been wiped clean at the
failure of the recent special legislature
to initiate some act to be referred tfl
the eople, for financing the fair by
tax, direct or on gasoline.
"It was decided at a recent meeting
in Portland, said Mr. Puller. to
start in all over agian and P. build up
our plans anew. At yet no scheme of
financing has been worked out and ue
far as that part of plans are concer M d
we have nothing tangible on which t
base a discussion. At our recent meet
ing 1 told my fellows of the statewide
committee that it was my belief, judg
ing from my observation of Hood Kiver
county sentiment, that my county
would be in favor oi an exposition, if
it were to be a statewide exposition of
Oregon as a whole, an exhibit to the
world of the scenic and agricultural as
sets. But that my people did not be
lieve in an exposition of the old type.
with its stereotyped pike or midwa
and formal sunken gardens and huge
temporary buildings.
The full text of Mr. Butler's resolu-
tion was as follows :
'Whereas. The stale of Oregon has
by legislative enactment invited the
states of the Union to participate in a j
statewide exposition, and
"Whereas. Congress has. by joint
resolution, Jgiven authority to the Pre
ident of the United States to invite
foreign nations, and
"Whetras, Wc are
here in Hcod Kiver."
The club through the recent appoint
ment of a committee, is seeking
through cooperation of state, county
and federal authorities means of secur
ing a new road to Coopers Spur and
Cloud Cap inn. The club committee is
especially seeking to secure federal aid
for early application, in order that a.
mountain road may be opened to a
camp in the Oregon National Forest to
be utilized by the American Legion
Post as a base for its annual ascents of
Mount Hood.
"1 think this matter of securing an
early construction of a road to the
mountain and the Legion camp is very
important)" said K. 0. Blanch.,
member of the committee, which last
week conferred with forestry officials
in Portland. The annual mountain
climb bids fair to grow into one of the
county's big events. We are glad to
find that the forestry department is
committed to the construction of a
road to Coopers Spur and Cloud Cap
inn, but the officials naturally will
have to have a survey before thev can
make an actual application of funds."
Mr. Blanchar said it was not known
whether the road would pursue the
general course of the old toll road to
Cloud Cap inn or be located on the
northeast ridge of the mountain. He
-aid that J. O. 11 annual, who is well
acquainted with the physical contour
uf the region, impressed tbo forestry
ollicials when he pointed out that a
road could be constructed with great
feasibility along the northeast ridge.
Mr. H annum, who accompanied the
committee in their conference, Mr.
Blanchar said, stated that a passable
road, connecting up with the Mount
Hood Loop Highway and following
filly Jane creek, might be opened as
far as the Legion cump for an approxi
mate 91,600,
Mr. Blanchar. however, cited that
W. A. Langille, another man who
knows the mountainous forested sec
tion, believes that best results will be
obtained by following the old toll road
on the north side of the mountain.
where, Mr. Langille states, the anon
fall will be cleared out early by action
of chinook winds which will not reach
the east base of the snow peak.
The club adopted a resolution pre
sented by its permanent committee on
scenic preservation, headed by Kev.
W. H. Buddy, which condemns the
practice of highway or streetside sign
hoard advertising. The action, it was
stated by Mr. Boddy. was preciptiated
by the erection of two huge signs
along the Columbia Kiver Highway,
one in the city limits at the went edge
of town and the other on the Last .Side
grade east of the city. The sign
hoards carry advertisements of local
merchants The resolutions ask that
all civic bodies of the city concur in
action deprecating such form of adver
tising. The city council will be asked
to adopt some form of ordinance to
prohibit the placing of signs, if such
legal action can be done, and the
county court will be appealed to for
cooperation preserving the roads from
the marring effects of signB.
Some of the club members even
went so far in their discussions as to
propose boycott of merchants who util
ize such form of advertising. K. K.
Scott declared that the merchants
placed the signs out of personal egotism.
"They do not realize aay benefit
from such advertising, "said Mr Siott,
'and they well jumw it. I hey merelv
want to see their names placarded u,
for the public to behold."
Mr. Scott stated that during Ins
regime as club secretary all merchants
of the city had signed an agreement
not to recognize the solicitations of
uny outsiui! advertising agency or
other itinerants unless the visitor
howed a certificate ot approval from
the Commercial club. He declared
that the plan had by actual record
saved merchants $!) OvO in a shurt per
iod. He suggested that the sy-tern be
revived. The signboards, it was
stated, were plac i at the solicitation
of a visiting advertising man. whose
fees for the work and the rental of
space will cost merchants more than
$.r.n i.
J. H Koberg has asked the scenic
reservation committee of the club to
cooperate in saving timber along the
Highway between here and Mosier.
He says that beautiful groves of fir
owned by Indians have been sold ami
ut for cordwood. Mr. Koberg says
was approached, as soon an the
Highway was surveel, by partie.
who wished to buy timber holdings of
his along the right of way, but that he
declined to sell.
"The Highway department," said
Mr. Koberg, 'lat summer spoiled a
body of magnificent timber in securing
props for the Twin Tunnels."
Secretary C. C. Crew has received
communications from Senators Stan
ftald and McNary and Pepre-entative
Sinnott, who announce that the author
of the Barbour bill providil g for the
Sequoia National Park in alifornia,
has agreed to include a: ame. dmunt to
the bill as was proposed by n I nt res
olution of the local club. The bill, as
originally drafted contained no pro
vision for preservation i f sc. mc water
falls and streams. The amendment
will give the new park the same de
gree of protection as already applies
to existing national parks.
