We had been camped Tor a few days
az point on the upper reaches OF the
Pie river, waiting for few OF the
party who were running a side line. A
source OF amusement was watching
the descent OF large baldheadcd eagle
I'm the eddy back OF the point.
He would strike the water with
great force. coming down from an inn
mense height. At times he would dive
under the surface TO reappcar a mo

fish clutched i'm his claws. when lac

the third morning a shadow coming
across the suns rays caused me TO
look up and there was the great bird
at his usual hunt TO supply the young
eagles with breakfast With his keen
eye piercing the river depths he poised
over particular spot for a few mo
ments and then shot down with the
velocity OF a cannon ball
The waters parted and the eagle was
lost TO view. | watched and waited 10

saw the great bird struggling. either TO
carry of heavy burden or TO free
himself from one. The waters were
dashed into foam and the bird again
disappeared. and all was still
This lashing OF the water and dis
appearing were repeated again and
again. each time farther downstream.
A bend in the river prevented my

Of our men from the tent. we embark

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
J0BPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount TO
mucn, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if thew
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When You see a piece of job print
ing crowded and the type TANNED
too close together, With dirty-looking
INK and finger marks smeared over
it, on a low grade of paper. it doesu't
speak we'll for the firm which uses it,
In fact, YOU don't have the same
opinion Of that place as you have Of
the man whose stationery Is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade Of paper.
The quality Of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. Its
therefore a duty YOU owe to yourself
to have good printing.
