The paper infers that a severe disagreement has arisin over the appointment of their City Marshal. The Eagle is not butting in on the affairs of our County Sea nor do we intend to publish any articles for either side. One of the best and most efficient members of any Pres­ ident’s Cabinet is preparing to retire to private life. Sec­ retary of State, Charles Evan Hughes will resign March 4. Our present Ambassador to London, Frank B. Kellogg, will assume the great and responsible duties of Mr. Hughes.

Outside cities and outside readers tell us the Eagle is one of the best weeklies in the state in any city double Everything seems to be moving along as usual; in fact our size. You know about the “Profit in his own land”— you would hardly know the Legislature was in session. so why pay attention to knocks? There isn’t a mail any day, but what the Eagle gets Some business men travel around so much that when from one to a dozen letters asking for a copy of the paper they do eat at home they look for a menu. and congratulating us for the splendid efforts. Isn’t it queer—but the truth? How easy to give your paper fits, to cuss your council; to make strangers think that there is a hidden cause for any knocker. Now wouldn’t it be brighter, if all co-operated? If comments are made, have teh mof the cheerful, optimistic strain. All would feel bet­ ter and progress faster. The Eagle prints from 15 to 20 columns of straight matter eac hissue. What other weekly does it 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 about this bank that radiates and promotes a Good Will not found in a bank that is merely a strong­ hold of stone and steel. And that s why women make this their headquarters for then- financial dealings. They like the cheerful atmosphere and the sincere courtesy. You, too, will see the dif­ ference when you come in to get acquainted. BANK OF VERNONIA Vernonia, Oregon > COLLECTIONS KNIGHT ADJUSTMENT CO. McMinnville Hillsboro Tillamook Mac Says ‘Don’t go elsewhere The main trouble with cutting offi the expenses of government is that most of the expense can vote. If there is one time in a Vernonia man’s life when he can feel whooly virtuous it is when he is carrying a quart bottle of vinegar down the street and knows it is vinegar. They’ve done about everything for filling stations in this country but call them “Ye Old Gasse Shoppe.” There is nothing more humiliat­ ing than arguing with a fool. He nev­ er knows which one is the fool. Why is it that when some Vernon­ ia citizens get a bill bearing the words "please remit” they act as though they thought they were being blackmailed.

The burning question in Vernonia is not so much the price of fuel as it is of "who’s going to build the fire”? Corner Across from Gilby Motor Co. Our idea of a foreaighted man is the fellow who gave his wife a waf­ fle iron for Christmas so she could furnish him a better breakfast. The French don’t want to pay us anything for 10 years. Someone seems to have told them that Uncle Sam’s other name is Santa Claus.

If he knows what a pint will do to him, and what stepping on it will do the car, why do they call it an acci­ dent? At any rate, the highwaymen of olden days held you up instead of running you down. A speeding automobile in Indiana turned over twice and then kept on going. The car proved that its own tendencies were sound and that the difficulty lay in convincing the driv­ er that cars run better right side up.
