Logging Machinery Salesman Plays Joke

The advertising scheme of Seattle
logging machinery salesman may prove
roorback. Postcards on which ap-
peared the imprint of red hand and
the words 1--WE mean business and will
give you three days" were mailed to
all Pacific Northwest lumber compan-
les. The cards were taken as threat
of some kind and numerous lumber
concerns increased the guards at their
plants. The joke was out Monday
morning when postcards bearing the
imprint of large blue hand were re-
ceived by the lumbermen. The second
batch of cards signed by the logging
machinery salesman bore the following
message:
"On account of the publicity of the
press and condition of the times, and
the conception of the idea have de-
cided to allay any possible misunder-
standing and free the public mind, so
three days have been cut to one." ss--
The postcards were rec eived by the
Oregon Lumber Co. at Dee. Because
of the critical problems of the country
officials of the lumber company are
prone to criticise the logging machin-
cry salesman for his advertising meth
cd and it is declared that he may hear
from some of the lumbermen if he can
be reached by the courts.

Way down at Berwyn near Chicago,
Far, far from here,
Lived fair maiden named Miss AL
baugh
With none her life to cheer.
Then all at once the world grew
brighter
Letters daily came.
Out in Hood River lived preacher,
Who wanted to change he name.
Our preacher grew more absent
minded
Every single day.
The hymn lists he never could re-
member
Social calls he would not pay.
Soon all the good and willing workers
To the parsonage made their way.
Then kalsomine and painting brushes
Were welded every day.
Next came shortened morning service
All wondered why.
To Multnomah Falls the preacher hur-
ried
Ere the west bound train went by.
All the world looked bright and
merry
To this happy pair.
Motoring to Portland, down the High
way
Thro sunset light so fair.
Wednesday the twenty-fifth of April
This knot was tied.
Two more preachers met in Portland
And made her his happy bride.
They spent the week in honeymooning
Driving their Oakland around.
Do you suppose they saw the scenery
In that week in Portland town?
Now they've come to live among us
Happy may they be.
Hood River offers them good wishes
Long life and prosperity.
