Manufactured in Aberdeen, is the slogan. On
June 18th the Aberdeen Rubber Company, corner
and Heron Streets will put sale auto tires made in
this city, They will carry guarantee of $500 miles.
Now, patronize home industry and help to build up
our growing city, this is the most sensible thing to do
Something very unusual, unique, interesting and
worth while. On pages 2, 3, A. 5, 6, and g. of this
issue will be found the announcements OF the Marlatt
Shoe Company
It would be difficult customer indeed who can
not be thoroughly satisfied from these special
offerings made by this enterprising firm.
Manager King of the Geo. J. Wolff Department
Store, is displaying remarkable, rare and unique

Possibly one of the most successful sales ever
known in this city is being conducted by the Pacific
Electric Company. They have marked down to bed
rock prices their enormous stock OF electrical goods

Mother certainly had the right Of way in the
churches last Sunday, and while we would not take
gem from Mothers crown, yet we would suggest
that it is well to remember once in while the ami
mated meal ticket good old Dad; and while he has no
day set apart to euogze his virtues yet in the major

Now is the time when country newspaper men
receiving letters from men they DO not know, and
~
date for state office and any aid the editor can
bestow will be greatly appreciated. Yes, doubt it
would. On the other hand any aid these politicians
bestow the editor to him for space used
in his paper would be appreciated If politicians want
to advertise their business why in the dickens don't
they include check evidence Of good faith for the
amount of advertising they desire and send along copy
properly signed for advertising? Talk about bust
ness. If there is any business in newspaper
giving away space any more than merchant giving
away his goods we are unable to see where it comes
in-Marysville Globe.
Good for Bill-when will politicians cease from
looking upon newspaper as public grab-bag and a
free-for-a institution? Everything connected with
newspaper costs money and lots Of it, then why give
the space, the only source of revenue, away. Yes
why? In some instances candidates are considerate
and pay, but large majority try to work their nerve.

Three initiative bills each designed either to
of the restrictions placed upon liquor traf-
fc under the present dry law to repeal that enact
ment in it's entirety have been filed to date with the
Secretary of State. Voters at the November elections
should bear in mind that all three bills will appear on
the ballots. None Of the proposed enactments takes
the place of any previously filed by the wet interests
The necessary signatures, of course have yet to be
obtained for submission of two Of these bills but with
those signatures secured these will be the
Initiative Bill No. Is, generally known the
"hotel mems law" would permit hotels to sell liquor
to guests This goes the ballot automatic
ally necessary signatures having been obtained to it
before the last session of the legislature that body
failing to act upon it,
Initiative Bill No. 81, generally known as the
brewers BILL" would permit Washington breweries
to manufacture beer and to sell it in this state and to
export it.
Initiative Bill No. IS proposes to repeal the state
wide prohibition law adopted in 1914 and which went
into effect January Of this year. Should it carry it
would automatically restore the old unrestricted sale
of liquor.
Everyone should carefully study these measures
weigh them carefully, and under consideration take
snap judgment them they are far-reaching in their
Importance and scope. .
