Your Better Self

Oft our better selves stand waiting,
Waiting with kind of fear,
While our other selves, unmindful,
Crowd them roughly to the rear;
So it must be quite in order
For a person to advance
With this earnest admonition,
Give your better self chance.
II good thoughts are like bluebirds,
Singing as they come and 90,
Why reject them for the dark ones,
With their train of sin and woe;
If with in your realm of thinking
You can rule with kindly sway,
Give, without thought OF taxing,
Better thoughts the right of way.
Since we have the law of Wisdom,
So our moods may be controlled
II we grasp them with decision
Ere they get the stronger hold
! would have the coaxing phrases,
Or strong words which could not fail
Just to urge this text upon you.
Let your better moods prevail.
Nature gives US a good lesson
In rejecting lesser things
When she brings her great renewals
In the ever-welcome springs;
And you'll find the hills and valleys,
If you give friendly glance.
By their own example saying,
''Give your better self a chance.

valuable oils and also meal FOR feed

the United States Department of Agri-
culture. In addition los. 900 gallons of
cherry juice now wasted in seeding
cherries can be turned into desirable
jelly and syrup. or even into alcohol.

from cherry canning may make possible

time establish a new industry in the

BUSINESS BOOMS
AT SPRAY PLANT

The spray plant of the J. c. Butcher
Co. on Railroad avenue just west Of
the packing plant of the Consolidated
Mercantile Co.. has been one of the
busiest places In Hood River during
the past several weeks. While large
amount of miscible oil spray was
turned out at the new factory. for the
past week or more the crew has been
busy making lime-sulphur solution. An
average of rs barrels per day has been
manufactured. Except on a few days
the demand has been as great as, or
greater than the output. Spray dealers
have simply taken orders and have
sent the purchasers direct to the fac
tory. .
Both MIR. and Mrs. Butcher are busy
daily at the plant. the latter assisting
by taking care of the books and cleri-
cal work.

Scenery Delights Mrs. Webster

The scenery along the Columbia river
highway and in the vicinity of Mitch
ellis Point proved the delight of Mrs.
Alice Webster, of Portland, who was
here last week to deliver an address on
art to the members of the evening de-
partment of the Woman's club. Mrs.
Webster, who has lived in Switzerland.
says that the Micthells Point tunnel
excels in beauty the famed Axenstrasse
tunnel of the Swiss Alps.
The trip to Mitchells is now made
more appealing because of the profus-'
sion of moss blooms hanging on the
side of the rugged precipice and the
clusters of wild currant blossoms seen
in every protected dell.
