EAGLE FEATHERS
DON’T DRIFT
Young man, get away from the crowd for a while, and
think. Stand on one side and let the world run by, while
you get acquainted with youiself and see what kind of a
fellow you are. Ask yourself hard questions about your
self. Find out whether you are drifting aimlessly along
with the stream or striving for a definite object. To
surge along with the crowd requires no effort and will
bring you no reward. Ask yourself if you are making pro
gress, so that each tomorrow finds you farther than today.
This appiles not only to material things, but to the shap
ing of your whole character, to your moral, ethical and
intellectual side as well, and they are often found to go
hand in hand.
One sure way of making progress is to start a savings
account which is not only saving money but is also a char
acter builder and is a sure way of getting out of the rut
of drifting along, having no object in view and getting
nowhere.
Vernonia and the Nehalem Valley have all confidence
in Bert Mills, and the delight over his election as County
Commissioner is general. The entire county appreciates
his knowledge and ability for his position, and the senti
ment expressed in last week’s St. Helens Mist are endors
ed by all. The Mist says:
“Columbia County is to be congratulated on hiving Bert
Mills as one of the commissioners. In addition to being a
man whose integrity is not questioned, Mills knows more
about road building than ninety per cent of the people
who reside in the county. For a number of years he was
road supervisor in his (No. 9) district and not being sat
isfied with being the ordinary road builder, he studied
engineering. The consequence was that when he built a
road, in addition to doing a good job he saw to it that
the road was properly laid out before he began work.
But in addition to his knowledge of roads and road
building, Mills knows the needs of teh county. He is lev
el-headed and trustworthy and the county’s business is
safe in his hands. He can be depended on.”
Like the swells of a tidal wave, which grows to tremend
ous magnitude to dash itself to destruction and is lost,
leaving the coast to the mercy of following waves—so
with highly esteemed and financial kings of the money
world. Among the famed of the picture colony now bal
ancing on the highest round of popularity is Sharlie Chap«
mas. Poor boy, he has made that high round so easily tipp
ed. His recent marriage to the “Girl Star” was near the
last straw for a critical public—but now, in their anxiety
for publicity they seemingly have gone beyond propriety
in the sight of the millions of peopel who have more or less
good old ohmely ideas. Their latest public announcement
afer six weeks wedded life is immodest and rediculous.
The Oregon Voter, in its January 10 issue of 144 pages,
told you everything you wanted to know about “Who’s
who in 1925 Legislature”. It is a book each voter should
have on file. In this edition are the sixty biographical
sketches, with portraits of each State Representative and
thirty biographical sketches with portraits of each of the
Senators. After reading it you will agree that Oregon has a
,competent Legislature this session. Here’s faith and hope
jwith more or less charity for the outcome.
There’s a spirit of friendliness and cordiality

the sincere courtesy. You, too, will see the dif
ference when you come in to get acquainted.
