Don't Buy Private
Brand Roofing

When you buy an unknown private
brand of roofing you give the dealer, if
he is INSCRIPTIONS, chance to double
cross you.
In the first place, how do you know
what quality of roofing you are buying2
He may say that it is first-grade, be-
cause even an expert cannot tell the
grade by just looking at it. Our third
grade roofing looks as good as any.
The chances are that you will get me-
dunn or poor grade of roofing and pay
a hrst-grade price for it. At least, an
INSCRIPTIONS dealer with an unknown
private brand Of roofing can wolk that
on you if he wants to.

Don't Pay a Long Profit

In the second place, how much profit is
the dealer taking on your transaction
There is nothing TO stop his taking a
good, long one if you'll buy. That's
why some dealers would rather sell pri-
vate brands than Certain-teed.
Any responsible dealer can sell Certain
teed if he plays the game squarely. He
gets fair profit, but he cannot stretch
1t because so many dealers handle it and
everybody knows the price.
Of course, you know what to expect
from Certain-teed. 1t is highest quail
ity. guaranteed for s, 10 or Is years, &C
cording TO weight, and completely
shelters your property. That's real buy.
Any reliable dealer can get Certain
teei for you quickly from a nearby
Certain-teed warehouse o. jobber. He
gets II when he wants it and he gets
what he wants. He can afford to sell
you at fair price.

FARM MANAGE
MERT MEETINGS

Early in January Mr.. c. c. Taylor,
Farm Management Demonstration of
the University of Idaho Extension Di
vision, will visit Payette County for
the purpose of conducting series of
three one-day farm management
schools.
These one-day schools will be for
the purpose of assisting in the solu-
tion Of problems of the farm, the
planning of suitable rotations and
the explanation of suitable sys,
TEN of farm accounting.
1t is the desire of the Farm Bu-
reau to enroll as many farmers as
possible for these meetings which
will be held January 7-7-8 at Fruit
land, New Plymouth, and Payette
respectively. All those who would
care to enroll for these meetings are

STRIKES OIL
AND GAS

There was considerable excitement
on the d. w. Stuart ranch four miles
south of Fruitland last Wednesday
afternoon when the deep well being
drilled on the place began bubbling
up oil and gas. The we'll had been
drilled to a depth of 210 feet, the
last 80 feet being in what is believed
to be oil sand or shale. The bubbling
sound of the gas coming thru the
water can be heard several rods from
the we'll. The water taken from the
well contains oil in sufficient quanti-
ties to be plainly seen. No examina
ton as yet has been made by experts
but it is certainly an encouraging
proposition for the Payette Oil &
Development Co who are planning to
make a thorough test of this section.
This is not the first signs of oil and
gas in this immediate section, as
several other wells have given strong
indications and it is firmly believed
that when a proper test is made at
a lower level, both oil and gas may
be found in large quantities.

..EXpERIENCE" COMING

F. Ray COmstock and Morris Gest
will present George V. Hobart's
much discussed modern morality
comqdy drama of today, Expert
ence," called by critics the most
wonderful play in America, at the
Wheaton Theatre, Weiser, Dec. 2S.
Mr.. Hobart has taken the univer-
sal adventures of mankind, the
struggles, the sins, the temptations,
the elements which persuades man
for right or wrong, and has woven
them into a play of vital reality. He
has aptly called it Experience" for
under that title may be included all
the attributes of men and women,
good and bad, in their relationship
to each other.
In this unique play Mr.. Hobart has
written one of the most interesting
and thrilling of modern dramas. He
has directed his appeal and efforts
in language and situations so uni
versally accepted as true, that who
ever sees or hears the play may
know.
Experience" tells the story of
the episodes thru which Youth-the
average young man of today-passes
in his efforts to achieve supreme
happiness, and one is often reminded
of Pilgrims Progress' while watch
ing the show, althou Experience"
is quite modern and up-to-date.
Youth leaves Love, his first
sweetheart, and accompanies Ambi-
ton into the Highways of Life. He
meets Pleasure. a very charming
and captivating woman, on the
Street of Vacillation as he enters the
city, and fascinated by Pleasure.
Youth turns from Ambition, refus,
ing at the same time to heed the call
of Opportunity, and with Pleasure
visits the Golden Cabaret Expert,
ence", his guide, looks on while
Youth goes the pace with Passion
Wealth, Beauty and Intoxication.
There are ten scenes showing his
downward career and his final re-
generation. The play is handsomely
staged and will be acted by splen-
did cast.

HIGH SCHOOL
GLEAN|NGS

The most important event of the
week in High School was the as
sembly given Friday afternoon by
the Senior Glass. The program was
interesting and original and set a
high standard for the other classes
to follow. After the Seniors had
sung their class song the class or
chestra known as the Six Brown
Bros. played several popular selec-
tions. A few songs were sung by the
Octet after which the Brown Bros.
reappeared A much appreciated solo
was given by Violette Swank. Miss
Sanders then spoke of our future oc-
cupation following which the Sen,
iors paraded across the stage cos
TUNED as themselves ten years from
now. The costumes included every
thing from that of the convict and
prize fighter to the missionary and
school teacher. In the meantime a
clown read limericks composed by
Blanche Bigelow for each model.
Then the Octet gave an original per
formance and the class sang and
concluded the program with their
yell which sent the word Seniors
echoing throughout the building.
Immediately after the assembly
the Seniors gave the High School an
enjoyable matinee dance in the
hall. The music was furnished by
the Senior orchestra.

I. L. Thurston and family got

have charge. Their going does not
please the people of this community
at all, as they are the kind we pre-

best financial interest so we will
wish them well. They have both liv-

seem right that they should leave.
