Everybody can be a booster. The

and without fear of contradiction,
that Tillamook is the garden spot
of Oregon. So get everybody into
the notion of talking that way.

the cause of Taylor’s fatal step when
he forged the names of other per­

courage to tell his creditors that he
could not meet his obligations in
what was simply a business failure,
