Poultry Production

"The high price of feeds is not an
msurmountable obstacle to profitable
production of poultry and eggs, says
U. L. Upson, federal extension poultry
husbandman, now in Salem, when shown
the headline inquiry of the Capital
Journal Of March 18th.
cit is a fact, he continued, that the
poultrymen I have interviewed in Ore
gon who are keeping and have kept
books for previous years, have stated
without exception that they are making
a better profit this season than for
several seasons past.''
While it is true perhaps that there
are some phases of the feeding ques-
ton which should receive careful at
tention by those who have this matter
in hand, it is also true that the great

raised by the people who are not suf-
ficiently interested in poultry keeping

Certain-Teed Products
Representatives Here

Mr.. j. II, Mckinley Of the Certain
teed Products Corporation is in the
city calling on prominent dealers who
handle the well known Certain-teed
brand Of roofing and paint products.
Mr.. Mckinley stated in an interview
granted today that the new proposition
for 1918 on their general paint lines
was meeting with pronounced success
and has been revelation to dealers.
1t has not only benefited the dealer
but ultimately the consumer, who is
directly benefited by REIMBURSEMENT of
prices to meet popular demand.
Mr.. Mckinley also stated that the
same policies are being carried out on
the paint and varnish lines as with
their roofing which has met with such
pronounced success.
"One of the principal troubles aris-
ing in the manufacture of paints" said
Mr.. Mckinley, 'is the fact that many
manufacturers do not properly grind

Lloyd p. Johnson, Republican can
didate for the General Assembly, was
born in Perth Amboy thirty-seven
years ago and has resided n that city
ever since, now being engaged In the
real estate business as president or
the Johnson Company.
Mr.. johnson received his education
In the schools of Perth Amboy and
went into the business world when
eighteen years of age, accepting a po-
sition with the Perth Amboy Gas
Light Company. Starting as office
boy, he rose during the next eighteen
years to the office of assistant superin-
tendent of that company.
In April of last year Mr.. Johnson
resigned his position with the Gas
Light Company to enter the realty
business, having purchased the large
Amusement Park tract at Keasbey
which he has since spent considerable
time in developing.
Throughout his career Mr.. Johnson
has proven himself a thorough bust
ness man and by reason of his
straightfo rward dealings with the pub

himself hat should prove a great as

Is that the Democratic Party in order

of the condition in which he found the

did not state the purpose for which 1t
was issued.

no one a. theretofor has been preven-
ted from examining the books. For
the first time in ten years, tax bills
have been rendered before Election

Another sample of the truth of the
said circular is the statement that the
total amount appropriated In the final
yea of their administration given by
them is s284.950, whereas tn true fpure
is $503, 1855. The 1918 Budget is
1891. 40S, The difference is accounted
for by the fact among other things,
that the schools have received n ad-

and other increased items caused by in
