Notice to the Public.

My work is FOR service for salts
faction for quality and beauty. ]
want to ask you a question, how
long will your building last without
paint? Have you not seen good
buildings fall to ruin, decay when
they should have been as good as
the day they were built. Just for
the need Of coat of paint. Wood
exposed to the weather soon decays.
Paint is not only a beautifier, It is
a preservation, 1t fills the pores of
the wood and protects fiber against
moisture and decay. Paint means
longer life for your building and a
higher valuation of your property.
Write me at once and let me save
you money. All work guaranteed.
All work strickly cash, when half
the work is completed, then half the
money is collected. All mail care
fully looked after and given atten-
ton. remain yours truly,

This incident establishes the fact
that the man for the Job must have
"A vision broad enough To let him
see that our housing conditions are
only part OF the vital points he must
help 10 better. Aud they can only be-
bettered by "a general increase In the
prosperity OF the community. Which
leads back To the prime question OF
successful agriculture. as shown by
e. J. Mcintosh In his interview last
week.
II th. success OF agriculture In Har-

Mr. Mcintosh claims. then the club

DIFFERENCE IN APPLICATION
OF STATE AND FEDERAL
LAWS CAUSES CONFUSION

Difference In application OF the

no littlo confusion this week. a be-
lated telegram stopped several from
abootin last Tuesday.

lishcd a statement sent out by State
Game Warden Carl ID. Shoemaker
TO the effect that the federal law
on game took precedence and that
the sportsmon OF this district could
therefore shoot ducks and geese be-
ginning on last Tuesday. Many were
In readiness to take advantage OF
this when they were confronted with
a telegram from Attorney-G General
Brown OF this state TO District At
torney Biggs to the effect that the
state law was not suspended. The
telegram reads:
Hon. NJ. A. Biggs. Burns. Ore.
Under the state law ducks and
geese can not be killed In your county
prior TO October first. Nothing In
the regulations adopted under fed
eral law shall be construed 10 hinder
the enforcement OF additional laws
OF any state for purpose OF giving
federal protection To game. Fish
and Game department have no au-
thority To set aside the law OF this
state protecting birds"
This wire was dated the i3th at
Salem. but was not received here
until the i4th. Few people were
aware OF such "A telegram. and those
