WASHTUCNA VALLEY.

It's wise man who provides for
the future, and a thinking man
will do so at once. With the
labor troubles in the large cities
rapidly approaching crisis,
land the danger Of a great ma
tional upheaval so near, it
means that unless a man has a
tract of land where he can sup
port his family they will suffer.
A 10 acre tract in the Wash
tucna Valley will make money
for the owner from the first
crop he plants, and by getting
in now, no man need worry
about not making good. A five
or ten acre tract in this fertile
valley can now be bought on
terms easy enough for any man
to make a success of 1t, and
with the irrigation and railroad
construction in this valley a
man has no difficulty in secur-
ing outside work to help him.
1t is the one place in the state
where a man with only small
amount of capital and ambition
to own his home can do so. We
will be pleased to help you, and
visit to our office will con-
vince you. Call at once and get
a start.

A Good Piano
For Little Money

When you set out to buy a piano,
what is it you aim at?
To buy for as little money as pos
sible?
To secure an instrument that will
ornament your home?
Or to select a piano that has a
beautiful tone and good, durable
construction?
No doubt you want all the good
qualities that it is possible to Sc.
cure; especially you want pure,
musical tone, because the piano is
purchased to delight the sense of
hearing.
Don't spend too little, then. 1t
may prove Improbable and disap-
pointing.
If you buy on the Eilers' plan, it
won't be necessary to buy a cheap
piano. We don't sell cheap pianos;
we sell good pianos for little money
and a small payment down secures
one; the balance may be paid in
small sums monthly.
The difference between a good
piano and poor one is that it
takes few more payments to have
the good one. The extra payments,
however. come many months from
now and you will be able to meet
the extra payments.
Terms as low
as $3.50 week.
We accept Lucore Piano Bonds as

FOREIGN BAN ON RED CROSS
 STAMPS

Looked at nationally 1t is not sur prising that foreign governments do not honor the Red Cross stamp, al- though they recognize the value of the charity. Clerks handling the mails have to do so with despatch and there is every reason why there should be no business stamps appended which may confuse them or be mistaken for something else. This is undoubtedly the reason Germany requires that the stamp shall be put upon the back and not upon the face of the mailed let ter or package.
 It can readily be conceived that some other organization might resort to a similar scheme, or that the get rich-quick schemers might avail themselves of a little joker of false pretence to beat thousands out of the people. hence every government, even this, may have to put the ban upon this method of raising funds for the public benefit and protection.
 We know and our government knows what the Red Cross stamp is, and the people are going to buy those 5eo00.000 during the present month. This stamp is just as applicable to all packages expressed or sent by mes- senger.
