PIPE Line CUTS
SOMERSET STORAGE

Sell or Their Oil Will

The following order explains itself:
To the Somerset Oil Producers:
Some of the producers and dealers
in Somerset oil are holding their ball
ances in our lines to such an extent
that tankage OF the Cumberland Pipe
Line Company is no longer available
for such purpose. Any further in
crease of credit balances viii make 1t
necessary to stop running the produc-

In order to prevent this slowing
down of the line and curtailing OF the

beginning September !, the amount run
from each lease win depend on the
amount shipped or sold TO dealers who
are making prompt shipments. In or
der that producers may dispose OF the
stock now at their wells, the Cumber-
land Pipe Line Company will endeavor

man of the Legislative Committee of
the Federated Clubs, urges the wo'
men of the state to post themselves
on the Fess bill to be introduced into
this session of the National congress,
and suggests that they write their

Briefly this bill is an amendment
of the Smith-Hughes bill whereby
the same amount may be expended
for the Home Economics as for agri-
culture and trade, whereas under the
Smith Hughes bill but 209o is avail,
able for this purpose. Surely this

WORKERS TO SHARE EARNINGS

Do you believe in private owner
ship of our railroad systems? Or do
you believe in foreign ownership or
so-called government ownership?
You know that political govern
ment ownership of our railroads
would mean ruin after the taste you
had of two years of government ou-
Grafton.
Now has come about a great
change and the managers of some of
the railroads plan to keep ownership
of railroads strictly in the hands of
the people.
The Union Pacific System has
adopted a plan for enabling all its
employees to acquire stock from one
to ten shares in that railroad.
II its 10000 employees took ten
shares apiece and paid for them in
"a monthly installments in two
years they would own $4,000, 1000
in the road.
Are we not all interested as Amer
leans in seeing this brought about
and seeing the workers in great
system share in the earnings?

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

Dog poisoning has broken out in
Payette again, several days have
bene poisoned in the east part OF
town. This is very dangerous
and unlawful practice, and the party
who is doing this work should be
presented, the poisoned food
might be picked up by small child
rem. If there are any undesirable
dogs in town that are not taken
care of there is a proper way to have
the matter attended to and not en-.
danger the lives of children. 1t is
a cowardly act for any one who has
a spite at some person or his dog
to throw out poison food to be pick
ed up by anything that might come
along.

cial organization, the Chamber OF

lions and the welfare. of the people

cite is really becomming thriving
little city and we all take great pride
in each doing our part in improv7
ing and making it more desirable
place to live, but when our dear ones
are called to leave us the beauty and
pleasures are theirs no more, and
we must lay them to rest in a de-
serted and poorly kept cemetery.
This is a matter that has been dis
cussed for many years but it seems
no particular action has ever been
taken, we simply go occasionly to
our little sacred spot and do what
we can to clear away the weeds and
rubbish to let the world know that
our dear ones are not forgotten, a
spot of green grass or flowers are
not seen, but many rusty cans and
broken vases mark the attempt of
those who have endeavored to give
Just a touch of remembrance.
Riverside cemetery could be made
beautiful place, water in abund-
ance flows past within few rods
that if properly conducted would be
one means of adding to its beauty, a
little effort on the part of the living
would complete it. The time has
now come when some action should
be taken. Let us give little of our
time and attention to our loved ones
whom we have laid to rest.
