are in Vernonia.
Mr. Hall will probably de­
cide that politics isn’t as suc­

banking business.
Anew house is being started
nearly every day in Vernonia
and we are one hundred shy.
Vice President and M'A.
Calvin Coolidge with their
two eons, will visit Portland
Sa urday, Sunday, and Mon­

family will excuse us for not
going down to see them, but
if hey want a real thrill they
can come to Vernonia.
There’s a bright side to
