tendance and kindly attention
was had at all of the different
places and we believe much good
was done in arousing parents to

An Attractive Window.

We note with much interest
the way some of our enterprising
local dealers are putting forth
every effort this spring to make
their stores attractive. This
week Burns Hardware CO.. /.
Burns, Oregon, whose progress
sive policy has been strongly
shown this spring by their large,
attractive advertisements in our
columns. have n fine window de-
voted entirely to house paint.
On close inspection one finds
not only the usual display of
paint cans, but long cards show
ing rows of houses in new and
handsome combinations of colors
for exterior painting. An at
tractive window border brightens
the appearance of the whole store
and draws much attention from
the passers-by. 1t attractively
illustrates how easily and well
any shabby surface in or about
the house can be fixed up.
Burns Hardware Co., deserves
much credit for this window and
we are sure it will prove of much
benefit in reminding people of
the many things around their
homes that can easily be beauti-
fled mt house-cleaning time.

10 per cent penalty and interest
thereafter at the rate of IL per

made for collection Of delinquent

This statute declares in direct
terms that all taxes not paid
before the FIRST day of September
shall become delinquent on that
day, and then assesses penalties
for the delinquency. Not only
is there no declaration OF de-
linqency prior to that date, but
the statute, by the direct declara'
ton that they are deliquent on

emphasis that they are not de-
liquent before that time.

The proposition to make an
All-Oregon Good Road day, pre-
ferably the latter part Of April,
by proclamation by the governor,
has met with decided favor and
may result in possibly 100, 600
men of all walks of life, the pro-
fessional and business man. the
farmer. stock raiser and laborer,
each giving one good days work
on the roads in Oregon. The
idea has met with enthusiastic
favor of the Portland Ad Club
and its members are urging Gov
ernor West to set a day. They
think that every able bodied man
in the state will give his time for
the day and that there are enough
good women to provide dinner
for all who actually work. 1t is
worth while and much good could
be accomplished in a practical
way as we'll as educating people
to the necessity of better roads
and a system Of road building
that would accomplish results Of
a lasting character.
One could hardly realize the
real amount of road work that
could be accomplished if every
able bodied man in Harvey coun-
ty would spend only one day at
it under right direction of a road
builder who could have it planned
ahead and make every shovel
count on the particular day
named. We hope the matter
will be taken up by the governor
and that the people will respond |
make it a picnic although we
feel so much like a pic
mic at the close Of day perhaps.

Ches. Dalton an Impostor.

At the recent convention of
sportsmen of the state at which
a state league was formed, Chest
er Dalton attended as a delegate
from the local Rod & Gun Club.
The papers got him confused with
his father, who is the president
of the Club and in some way
other delegates also got the idea
that he had made the trip to
Portland for the express purpose
of attending the convention and
he was therefore more or less in
the 'lime light" " His conscious
80 pricked him that he wrote a
full confession to his father and
asked forgiveness. In the letter
Ches. says he found them a good
natured bunch and therefore he
felt at home and did a good deal
of talking. He described the
difficulties of getting in the game
birds and fish which the Club
was instrumental in bringing IN
last year and also explained con-
ditions as to open season. The
officers and members of the
organization evinced interest and
sympathy for US but did not
think it the right time to ask
concessions. However, later,
when the federal officers have
familiarized themselves with the
different zones and see the neces-
sity of making changes, it is
thought there will be changes
that will not be discriminating.
AT the banquet in the evening
the president of the organization
expressed the feeling of those
present in calling attention to the
enthusiasm exhibited by the
Harney County Club by sending
a delegate 500 miles to attend at
great expense to the Club. Ches.

Reunion of States at Voltage.

A very unique social was held
in Voltage March 13 at the sug-
gestion and planning of Rev.
and Mrs. Joseph Herbert, who
wished to meet the people of this
Mission in a social way, and the
people responded most heartily
in helping with plans and pre-
parations and sending invitations
TO all in the neighborhood they
could. AS the roll of countries
and states were each called the
native born" came forward and
a pennant with the name of state
was joined across their chest.
After all had responded and
been tagged they were called to
the front to speak a word of love
and give a description of their
native land. OF course everyone
was born in the best state in
the Union" Fifteen States and
two countries were represented.
The teacher had been tutoring
her pupils and a number gave
concise and interesting papers on
their States.
Then we all ate heartily of the
good things the ladies had pre-
pared for us, and between one
and two O'Clock we separated
with a unanimous feeling of a
good evening spent and a good
time enjoyed.
Rev and Mrs. Herbert hope to
meet the people of their different
