The State Board of Health has
sent notices to all BARRIERS OF the state
that they must comply with a new
ruling, which compels them to wash
their hands before every shave. This
will put our tonsorial artists to no
little amount of extra work, but Is not
a bad thing for the public. A barber
on busy day will shave fifty or sixty
people. The total time employed in
washing his hands as many times,
will cut down his capacity to a con-
siderable degree, but there is no al
tentative to the order.

This may be considered the last
chance for one to get land for a

Stand up for Your Town.

Under the above caption the Sites
Sentinel after quoting lengthy article
from an exchange comments as fol-
lows on the local situation:
While it is true that some of our
merchants do not do as much as they
should in the way of advertising to in
duce people to come here and trade.
Instead of patronizing catalogue
and mail order houses, home
pride should stimulate us to stand
by our home merchants first, last
and all the time, even though it may
be at a cost of few additional
cents. In the end it will be found
cheaper and more to your advantage
to stand by home industries that make
a market for your products and in
crease the value of your land.
Whether the merchants advertise or
not the Sentinel goes right along and
fights for our little town and the
best interests of our merchants, com
batting every influence that tends to
bear against them; still H. A. Greying,

Airships Will Race Daily.

Aerial contests between FIVE or
more airships will be held this year at
the Spokane Fair for prizes aggregat-

every afternoon of the week. This
is not entirely new attraction for the
fair, the introduction of the air ship.
But the races are absolutely new, and
are introduced because of the fact that
the Strobel flights took so well with
the public. Aeronauts are not limited
to any particular style of flying machine
in the daily contests, though SPECIAL
prizes of $500 are offered for the
longest flights of any form of dirigible
balloons.
