Homer Norton POST, OREGON When building remember that you will probably occupy your home for a good many years, and surely you do not wish to install plumbing fixtures again in a few years. It does net cost any more for labor to install good plumbing fixtures than cheap ones and the difference in the first cost between the two is smalL PACIFIC Plumbing Fixtures are the highest quality lavatories, bath tubs, closets and sinks made. Their graceful designs, massive appearance and simple patterns make them the vogue.

Both of these pupils passed with high grades that are a credit to themselves and teacher. The rainfall in this vicinity dur ing the past three weeks has been very heavy and has rendered the roads between here and Prlneville almost tmpassablo for cars, owing to a few very bad mud holes. V do not wish to blame or criticise any one for this comiitiou of the roads, but after spending an hour wallow ing through a mud hole through which many cars have had to be pulled with horses, we cannot help but wonder why such neglect, when a very little work would have pre vented the mud hole. When a few miles further on the road we find a crew of men working on a piece of road that never was known to bother any one at any time of the year, we again wonder why the worst places do not get the work first.

Mazola browns food quickly, preventing any penetration of oil and gives crisp, delicious dishes free from sogginess, easy to digest. The results are so much better than with lard or compounds that Mazola is used in. thousands of American homes. And now w hen Food Administrator Hoover asks us to save butter, lard and suet, the housewife knows that she has a really good vegetable oil. With Mazola she can help save the country's resources and at the same time give her family the best of food at a notable saving in cost. Unlike other mediums Mazola does not transmit taste or odor from one food to another can be used over and over again a great tactor in economy. And when you want an especially delicious salad dressing, use Mazola. There is no need to give up salads because of the uncertain supply or high prices of olive oil.
