The unsanitary and littered vp condition of many of the public camp grounds in Tillamook and at the beaches, where free Bpace and conveniences are provided, is a mat­ ter that deserves attention. Old pa­ pers strewn around, decayed fish, scattered hay, tin cans, etc., all tend to disgust those who come af ter the careless ones. Each person using the grounds should clean up the rubbish he has created before he leaves, and thus show his apprecia­ tion of those who have made it pos­ sible for him to have a nice place to camp.

That nearly every home owner has a nice lot of flowers, and that the names of the varieties shown would stump most of the men, and tickle a botanist half to death? That Tillamook gets many verbal bouquets from the visitors on the above account? That the average Tillamook house cat likes to yowl and fight on moon­ light nights like other cats?

That Tillamook milk has a better That flavor than Valley milk? their lacteal fluid has put our cheese on the map. and then some? t That the fire laddies think that trash and rubbish near buildings are I a fire menace, and that owners ought to clear up such trash with­ out being officially notified? That we saw a man walking up the street the other day, and the man stopped to lace his shoe? That when we arrived in front of the man we discovered he was a woman? That our grandmothers would have fainted dead away at the sight of their daughters wearing such man­ nish garb? That we have evoluted some since our grandmothers in­ fluenced Btyles, however, and that the old hoop skirt must have been some lallypolooser itself? That it pays to advertise? Either that is so, or some of our most suc­ cessful business men are the biggest fools in the world? The fellow who doesn’t advertise nowdays is like the fisherman who forgets to tie a hook to his line? Try Headlight for results. I’ll say I'm giving you a straight tip? That it never pays to peddle gos­ sip, scandal or to knock your com­ petitor or anybody elsef That women are naturally bettor than men, and that if men Wero themselves morally better, there i wouldn't be so many fool girlB in the country? That is a sad fact that many a good fellow who needs a haircut, j hates to kiss a half dollar good bye 1 just for appeaerance's sake? That it is reported that a gill from the vicinity of Four Corners ehewed gum so fast at the beach the other day that she got the lockjaw, ; and couldn't talk for several hours? | That the family had peace for that' length of time without tional agreement? That the wind blows here on af­ ternoons, and sometimes in the fore- noons? That it's a nice little breeze at that? That the story of a man being chased by a hoop snake upon the Kilcbis the other day was all pure fiction? That ‘‘there are” no such animal? M. J. E. SKEAKEK SU1GEBY National Building Tillamook.
