The people plain
Their teeth would gnash.
And things mundane
Would go 10 smash.

And bated breath.

For early death

What would it do,
Should I quit all,
For Tmbuctoo!

Close ev'ry door.
And let the dust
Hold down the floor.

because every seal | use counts
one cent toward stamping out
tuberculosis in the city and for
the maintenance of hospitals for
that purpose. The seals are also
used to raise funds to teach peo-
pie the value of fresh air. And,
another reason buy them is be-
cause my father died of tuber-

other little boys and girls won't
lose their fathers as did.
Another reason is that if | am

Free Books for Farmers.

Many farmers are not aware
that the government publishes
several valuable books for free
distribution. The books are ap-
portioned to Senator'S and Con-
gressmen from whom they can be
obtained by merely asking for
them. Among the most useful
of these books are the Agrlcul-
tural Year Books, that for 1911
being the latest issued. The gov
ernment also publithes a very
practical book on Diseases of
the Horse" and another on Dis
eeses of Cattle" and a report of
the Bureau of Animal Industry
of special value to stock raisers.
Asking for copies of these books
does not place the citizen under
any obligations whatever to the
or Congressman, as the
books are printed by the gouern-
ment and paid for by the taxpay-
ers. Many an Oregon farmer
has cured sick horses and cattle
by following the directions in the
governments doctor books. If
you are interested, send your re-
quept to Senator Jonathan Bour-
ne, Jr., Senrtor George E. Cham
berlain, Congressman w. C.
Hawley or Congressman A. w.
at Washington, d. C..
