Sears Roebuck flatly refused; Montgomery Ward Company said they would discount the order 10 per cent, which would be practically nothing.

AST Friday was certainly a summer day, as warm as a Fourth of July day. The bright sun had its effect, and with it came James J. Crossley, to pay us all a visit. Mr Crossley is a candidate, a Republican candidate, for nom ¡nation for U. S. Senator. He is visiting all parts of the state and feels confident of success. Mr. Crossley’s strong appeal is his attitude favorable to the strict enforcement of the Volstead Act. Accompaning him to Vernonia were Dr. Edw in Ross and Sheriff Wellington of St. Helens. -------- 0--------- THE MAN WE LOVE. S love the man with a smile, the man with roses on his tongue, the man who sees your boy's dirty face, but mentions his bright eyes; who notices your shabby coat, but praises your studious habits; the man who sees all the faults, but whose tongue is quick to praise and slow to blame. We like to meet a man whose smile will li ;,i i p dreariness, Whose voice is full of the music of the birds, whose handshake is an inspiration, and his “God bless you” a benediction.
