POIST OFFICE DELIVERS LETTER ADDRESSED ..D FIR,'' PORTLAND, OREGON

A certain lumber dealer in New York state became aware that a firm in Portland, Ore. shipped some very fine lumber trade-marked "D FIR," and wishing to get a car of this lumber did not trouble to get further particulars of the address, but addressed his letter, "D FIR," Portland, Ore. The Post Office delivered this letter without anv delay to the Duncan Lumber Company at Portland, the -registered owners of this well-known trade mark.

The Duncan Lumber Co has recently moved to new quarters at 633 to 638 Pacific Building, Portland, Ore.

Bird Likes Longview Ford

Ever since the Little Red Hen, the Wise Old Owl, and several others of the feathered family have starred before audiences, both young and old, there have been various and sundry tales told of them. But the Pacific Northwest has a just claim to a "believe it or not" by virtue of the latest headliner in this famous feathered family.

According to James O'Malley of Longview, Wn., a rnother bird built a nest under the front seat of his Ford car, between the gas tank and the side, and forthwith left three eggs. But that is not retrarkable.

Mr. O'Malley, in the same breath, says while the car was parked in The Long-Bell Lumber Company's West Fir mill parkingparking ground, the mother bird again visited the nest and increased the eggs to four, despite the fact the car was parked in an entirely different place than where the other eggs were laid.

The question arises how the mother bird picks out the proper car with her migratory nest? Mr. O'\,talley says your guess is as good as his.

Three Means Of Grace

Do that entitle me to have a chu'ch notice in yo' Sadday issue ?" "Sit down and write," said the editor. "I thank you." And this is the notice the minister wrote: "Mount Memorial Baptist Church, the Rev. John Walker, pastor. Preaching morning and evening. In the promulgation of the gospel, three books is necessary: The Bible, the hymn book, and the pocketbook. Come tomorrow antl bring all three."-The Christian Register.
