PORTLAND-David B. Simpson.
northwest vice president Of Nation

Boards, said here that because the
supply remains constant. the war
in Europe will have little effect
upon real estate
He predicted. however. that the
use OF the industrial and CONNER

cause Of the American defense pro-
gram. and that new industrial
buildings will be constructed.
Speaking at the opening session
Of the annual convention of North
west Realtors. Simpson said that
so far. since the start of the war,
business has been carried on as
usual, but that there are "a num-
Der of beacons in sight to which
we should give heed"
primarily, regardless Of
which side wins the European
conflict, the United States will
be confronted with a trade
war, at home and abroad" he
said. Real estate conditions
will change, too, but real prop

mains constant. Demand

MUST WEAR BUTTON

Fishermen must not only have
their fishing license with them al
all times while fishing but must dis
play the new fishing button, provid-
ed for under a law which went into
effect with the current fishing sea-
SON.
To make it convenient, the CON
servation commission adopted an
''open face" button which will hold
folded license but some game pro-
tectors report that anglers carry
these in their pockets, failing to
display them. The law provides
that they must be in plain sight at
all times while fishing
Most fishermen have co-operated
with the new law in splendid fash
ion, according 20 Conservation Com
missioner Don Walters

How many know the name of the
official bird of the state of Ohio
Apparently the editors of Life mag
azine didn't know. And if the Aud
ubon societies knew they were keep
ing it to themselves, for Life, de-
pending on these groups for infor-
nation. listed the house wren as
Ohio's official bird. Recently the
editor of Life got letter from Mar
tin L. Davey. former governor, put
ting them right. Quoting from the
letter which was published in Life's
Letters to the Editor column:
g. In the interest of accuracy
and in justice to the cardinal / feel
free to call your attention to the
Ohio state laws The bird, cardi-
nails, is designated and shall be
known as the official state bird of
the state of Ohio" (Signed) Mar
tin L. Davey.
Mr.. Davey, Democratic candidate
for governor of Ohio, has always
been keenly interested in wild life
and in conservation. His enthus-
iasm has been stimulated by his
business, that of tree surgery which,
at least until it became a great.
nationwide enterprise, kept him in
close contact with field and wood
land
Life showed a cclored plate Of
the house wren as Ohio's official
bird, and listed the cardinal as the
official bird of Delaware In his
letter, Mr.. Davey said: The cardi-
nal is fellow of more robust
character (than the house wren
whose brilliant plumage adds color
to our lives not only in summer
but also in winter.

YOUTH SHOULD TAKE
ADVANTAGE

The training of the youth of Nor.
gan county has been severely neg
lected so we have established class
es in various points in the county to
train not only the youth but the
adults who wish to better them
selves in these vocational trades
There are many who are taking adj
vantage of these IL week courses
at the M. & M. high school on five
consecutive nights from Monday to
Friday. Glasses from to 8 and s
to 10 each evening, in plum bing,
blue print reading, mechanics and
house wiring, classes in typing and
bookkeeping Monday. Glass in first
aid Thursday. Not enough are TAX
ing advantage of these courses SO
we are taking this way of letting the
public know of what benefit they are
to them. The unframed worker
finds it hard to get and hold job.
So consequently, the ones who are
not trained for their jobs are going
to see the others who are trained
advance ahead of them when it
comes to getting a skilled and bet
ter paying job These classes are
free to the public SO we urge you to
take advantage of them for your
own personal benefit, also for the
defense of your nation. the United
States. Proud is the man who can
say, Eyes, / am a skilled mechanic
and can demand higher wages
We are also taking this oppor-
tunity to ask the public to help
these classes by donating any tools,
books, or material, that will help to
build up these classes in your COM
munity. Put our county on the map
by training men to get good jobs
and not relief. Instructor, Francis

VS.. 22. %. 3'Woe unto them that
are mighty to drink wine, and men
of strength to mingle strong drink;
which justify the wicked for reward
and take away the righteousness of
the righteous from him" Here is
woe pronounced upon the moder-
ate drinker such as drink and yet
go about their business; but with
perverted judgments they fail to
deal justly with others.
v. 7. "Be not deceived: God is
not mocked; for whatsoever a man
soweth. that shall he also reap"
Here is stated in plain language
the principle of production-like
begets like; and yet the drinking
man thinks he can sin with i'm
punity.
V. 8. "For he that soweth to the
flesh shall Of the flesh reap corrup-
ton; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall Of the Spirit reap life
everlasting" The great reward is
eternal life and for that we do well
to strive with all our might, giving
no place for anything that will in
terfere with the obtaining of this
reward.
