Why Use L. & M. Semi Mixed
Real Paint

Because it's economical Because it is
pure Waite Lead, Zinc and Linseed Oil.
Because it's the highest grade quality
paint that can be made. Because when
the user adds quarts of Oil to each l
gallon of the l. & NJ. Semi Mixed Real
Paint, it makes l ga gallons of pure
paint at a cost of about $1.4O per gallon.
This saves the user about 60 cents a
gallon on all the paint used. The l.. &
NJ. is and has always bee nthe highest
grade and most perfect paint produced.

marked. But that is not all.
The improvement in the quail
ity Of the COWS through the in
fluence Of the registered sire
has been no less marked. This
has caused a strong demand
for Wisconsin bred COWS, both
pure-bred and grades, to
spring up so that millions of
dollars pour into the state an
nually for such stock. All this
has been brought about thru
good leadership, constant agi-
tation and discussion of the
subject of dairying in all it's
aspects, and a general senti-
ment in favor of better educa-
ton among farmers on the sub
ject Of advanced dairy farming.
All that is necessary is to
give the COW full swing. Where
ever she goes prosperity will
follow"
The experience of Wisconsin
can be repeated here. Of course
that cannot be done at once,
but it can be done in time, and
it is certainly worth striving
for.
Successful dairying is an i'll
dustry that compells the adoo-
ton of business methods on
the farm. It teaches the ad-

There is every reason to be-
lieve that this Industry can be
made to flourish here to the
very best advantage. All the
conditions Of soil, climate and
crop production are favorable
to successful dairying in Okla
hogan. A start is being made
here, and everyone interested
should see that the start is
made in the right direction and
continued so. This country
should profit at the beginning
by the experience of all other
dairy sections, and should de-
termine to keep up tho quality
of dairy cattle. There are
more advantages in this than
merely the increase in milk
production insured by raising
good COWS. Take, for example,
the experience Of Wisconsin.
Hoard's Dairyman is authority
for the claim that "Wisconsin
has now the largest number Of
dairy COWS of any state in the
Union. We have a proportion
of more than one COW to every
two inhabitants in the state.
The effect of this large COW
population on the prosperity
and general increase of wealth
in Wisconsin has been very

velop the town as well as the
school spirit and cited as illus
tration the enthusiasm aroused
by the two football games play
ed here last fall. He gave par
ticular praise to Prof. Court
nay not only as athletic direct
or but as an educator as we'll.
In closing he said: "Know-
ledge is the key to success. It
is the key which has opened the
resources Of the world, it is the
key which has brought about
civilization. knowledge is a
possession and the only pos
session which cannot be taken
from us, and which cannot be
given us without effort. We
may acquire fame, honor, and
wealth. They may come to us
without effort, but they may as
easily be taken from us. But
knowledge we can acquire only
by deliberate effort, only by
constant and persevering
struggle. When you have ac-
quired it no one can take it
from you. It is a friend and a
weapon in the time of need. 1t
is a prize which is worth the
struggle. There is nothing in
life that is worth while which
does not cost a struggle, a sac
rifice, a pain and an effort. Nc
victory is won without an eff
fort, and long perseverance. .
Of course the dedication ex-
ercises were the attraction that
drew out the crowd, but those
present were as deeply inter
ested in seeing the interior OF
the new school building as they
were in listening to the per
formance. Everybody was de
lighted with the appearance Of
the interior, and felt an indi
vidual pride in the fact that

will be able to show off his
wares to a very much better
advantage. Mr.. Desmond has
built up an excellent business
in Oroville from a small be-
ginning by fair dealing. He is
always cheerful, courteous and
accommodating, and it is a
pleasure to deal in his house.
He is a live and public spirited
citizen, and lends his support
to every movement that has for
its object the betterment of the
town. His business is sure to
continue building up with the
town, for Mr.. Desmond will
keep abreast Of the times and
carry the quality and quantity

educational facilities. No city
or town can grow or win the
proper respect from the count
ry around without proper edu-
cational facilities. Today Oro-
vile has the finest educational
advantages Of any town in the
northern part of the county.
There prevails in the school at
the present time a spirit which
is to be commended. There is
close and mutual bond of un
ion, help and friendship be-
tween teaching staff and stud
ent body. 1t is indeed an in
spiration to visit the school
and come in contact with the
this spirit of enthusiasm, it is
this spirit Of unity, this spirit
of harmony which is bound to
succeed. No organization, no
school, or town can prosper or
grow where there is discord
and disunion. There is power
only when every individual
works in harmony with the
whole. Every will must be
united with every other will
for the promotion Of the cause.
An enthusiastic public spirit
is contagious, it is bound to
bring success. 1t is absolutely
necessary to bury all selfish
ness, all self-seeking and to
unite as one in order to sue
ceed.
Education today is training
for efficiency. Education is tc

reasons for favoring athletics

The accompanying halftone

Hoard's Dairyman, which has
done more than any other one
agency for the advancement
and promotion of dairying in
Wisconsin and throughout the
country. The picture repre-

ty, and of inducing the farmers
Of this community to turn their
attention more and more to
that industry. In this connec-

CHANGED LOCATION

H. J. Desmond, the pioneer
hardware and furniture merch-
ant of Oroville, who has long
been in business at the corner
just north of Sigrist hall, has
leased the lower floor of the
Odd Fellows building, and as
soon as the room can be made
ready for occupancy will move
into his new quarters. The
wisdom of a business change
can never be determined until
after the move is made and the
volumne Of sales becomes
known, yet it would seem that
Mr. Desmond cannot help bene-
fitting by the change. The new
sales room is large, comfort
able, well lighted and centrally
located on one of the best bust
ness corners in town. When
he adjusts himself to his new
surroundings Mr.. Desmond
should find a marked improve
ment in business, and undoubt-
edly will.
Mr.. Desmond handles furni-
ture and hardware exclusively,
and carries a very large and
well selected stock in both
lines. The public would not
know this from a visible ex-
posure of furniture, as his old
quarters were too small to per
NIT Of an exhibition of goods.
In the new establishment he

country.
A few dairy cows on every
farm and many farms wholly
devoted to dairying should be
the aim in the agricultural de-
velopment of Okanogan county.
Dairying as a sideline for the
farmer can be carried on prof
itably. In fact it is one of the
very few sidelines in farming
that can be relied upon to yield
a regular income. That is one
of the most attractive features
of the dairying industry. It
brings cash to the farmer and
gives to a community a payroll
as certain as a big manufactur-
ing or mining enterprise.
But, like any other industry,
dairying pays the best returns
when it is made the chief con-
cern of the farmer rather than
a sideline. Experience in
dairying soon teaches the value
Of better COWS, and the intro
duction of graded and regis
tered dairy cattle should be en-
couraged by all who wish to
promote the best welfare Of
this section. What dairying
and the breeding Of better
COWS has done for other places
it will do for Okanogan county.

vantages in real appreciate
profits that flow from tie e';m-
ination Of waste, which is
merely another name for the
practice Of wise and intensive
conservation on the farm. The
successful dairyman learns to
systematize his business. to
utilize every product; ID nm-
prove instead Of impo, crish
his soil; to keep accurate rec
ords and accounts; to fgure
on the cost of production, ana
thereby learn where his profits
come from and to avoid prac-
tices that lead to loss. It briugs
in the ready cash and thus
gives to the farmer the means
of making the most Of his re-
sources and opportunities. 1t
gives to communities a com
mon interest, as does fruit
raising, and makes cooperation
easier and more effective. It
teaches the advantages of in
tensive and diversified farm
ing, better cultivation and leads
to the adoption of scientific
methods in agriculture. Dairy
ing country's are the richest,
the most substantial and most
attractive Of all agricultural
communities.
