Fish Colony.
Bush goes away out

a bunch of experienced fishermen at
Rockaway, ho chartered the beet

few feet of sailing everything wont

where the wild waves tell desperate
stories of wrecked ships, dead men
and hidden gold, Jack began to
loose interest in fishing; in fact, the
further they went, the rougher It got,
and the rougher it got, the worse
Bush felt. Then he informed the rest

TAKE A LITTLE
COURT HOUSE WOULD
REST FOR YOURSELF MAKE SAFE STORAGE
Whin the word "vacation" meant
about as much to the average cit-1
izen of Vernonia as the word“ lim-[
oleine” means to a lot of us today,*
a fellow didn’t do much worring(
in advance, for vacations were en-'
joyed only by those whose pockets
were well lined with coin of the
realm. It is true one could ride a
good long distance on a railroad
for a dollar, but in those days it
was far more difficult than it <s
now to get hold of the dollar. And
it also seemed that thehe were more
places to put a dollar when we did
get hold of it.
Now it is different. Now every
one seemes to feel that a vacation,
two weeks to go where he pleases
and do what he pleases, is part of
summer living. The auto ran made
it possible for the entire family to
take much longer trips than would
be possible if railroad fares had to
be reconed with, and cooking aut-
fits carried n the car also enables
its occupants to escape costly hotel
bills along the route of travel. If
wo had nothing else to praise the
auto for we could spend a lot of
time in praising it for getting the
American people out of doors and
nto the ope« air.
Ask your family doctor if he
thinks you need a vacation, if you
are in doubt about it, and he’ll tell
you truthfully that you do. Time
to relax and rest from your work,
time to take it easy and plan ahead,
time to see just how your neigh
bors in other communition are
spending their time is better thar
all of the medicine the doctor could
give you. Don’t figure a two week^a
vacation an an unnecessary expense.
It will add to both your health and
yoUr happiness, and that to enough
to make it worth all that it eoata.
