HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 31, 1925 THINGS WE FORGET OFTEN IMPORTANT position of that crop upon which you— you—depend for your livllhood. AH at you who have had the patience to Journey thus far with me know the truth of what has been said. How many of yog have forgotten it? How many of you buMhess men who were carrying the grower urged him to sell for cash? How many of you growers who have sold for years with eutire satisfaction through consignment hous es listened this year to the clink of a coin and sold for cash? Perhaps you made money by doing it; perhaps you sold too party and sold for cumrid«*- ably less than you might have bad; but in any event, you must have for gotten that the Consignment house ac tually is and has been of real service to ,tl>e community and needs and de serves your support. <By W. B. Woolpert) When he was asked to contribute an article to thia paper, the writer sug gested to the editor the Improbability of his being able to tell the readers of The Glacier anything they did not al ready know. Upon further connidera- ti<m, that fact is even more apparent; consequently, he ha* decided to remind them of thing* they know but perhaps have forgotten for the time being. These things which pe forget are «pjt to seem more unimportant than they really are.
