Mabel Normand Enjoys a Holiday DUCK HUNTING POPULAR SPORT 0; FAMOUS SCREEN STARS Mabel Normand Holds Highest Record for Feminine Marksmen Who Have Secured "Limits" During . Current Season in Southern California Of all the: out-of-doors sports In dulged In by the hundreds of beauti ful and famous women who make up the motion picture colony of South ern California, none enjoys such jjOuikrtty as duck hunting1. There is a certain fascination about the sport that seems to . have a strong appeal for the motion picture actress enough to secure an occasional holi day. The coast of "California at dis tances of from fifteen to fifty miles from Los Angeles is thick with ducks and duck clubs. Prom October, when the season opens, till February, when It closes, it sounds like a battle, At most of theso clubs shooting Is "al lowed but two days a week; During the period between seasons, the ducks are fed on young grain sprouts. Most of the country south east of Los Angeles along the coast is marshy peat. land. Upon this celery thrives; indeed, much of the early celery used In the United States comes from this district. And, as you know, celery is good for ducks. Probably the best wing shot among tho motion picture actresses Is Mabel Normand, the former Keystone star, who Is now at the head of her own company, making a big feature comedy, "Mickey." 8he uses a gun especially constructed for her. Miss Normand, by the way, was a hunting devotee before she became a screen star. The sport Is not a recently1 acquired publicity fad with her. Above is a photograph of Miss Normand In the middle of a day's sport. She . always manages to bag enough ducks to relieve the starva tion situation In Poland and Belgium. This picture, then, obviously was taken before lunch. 8 Pit IN" G SAMPLES ABE HEUE The Roseburg Cleaning & Pressing works have Just received their line of spring samples a swell assortment of the finest fabrics.

PHONE US YOUR ORDERS FOR ICE CREAM, SHERBET Douglias County Creamery PROMPT SERVICE AUTO DELIVERY Owing' to the unfavorable weather the strawberry crop-promises to be very limited, in fact there will be n6 berries at all or the kind we are used to in the Unipqua valley. There will be come small ones sunn as we expect to and in California ami other states where the real strawberry is yet unknown, but none or the kind that has made lloseburg famous. Consequently the carnival committee has decided to withdraw tho nriy.es ottered for the beat display of home oerrios and to do away Willi that competition. The committee, knowing that fruit far below our utual stand ard would have to be shown, believes It better to entirely dispense with an exhibit than to leave the Impres sion wun visitors, as any display surely would, that the borries shown were fair examples of the Unimiua product. From reports this section will this year maintain its record of shipping me nrst uregon berries, but the kind we want to give to. our friends will not be ready for them next week.

TS5SS Will NOT BE INCREASED Revenue Provided for Interest and Principal on RoadN Bonds. Opponents of the road bond bill contend that the proposed bond Issue will become an added burden to the gcnerul taxpayer. As a complete an sftor and refutation of this argument, the Legislative Good Roads Commit tee has incorporated the follosving statement as a part of Its argument in support of the bond bill which will be published in the official state pam phlet : "We have ascertained from the rec ords of the office of the Secretary ot State that ths Income from the pros ent quarter-mill tax Is 220,000 per annum;, that the Income from auto li censes, based upou the present num ber of automobiles at the Increased license rate effective August 1st, will be no less than $310,000 per annum to be used In paying Interest and prln jtpal of bonds. Tho above. funds will bo sufficient not only to pay the in '.orost and the principal of tho 56,000, )00 bonds authorized by this act, bul will also pay the Interest and prlncl- al of tho J1.819.2S0.55 In bonds author Ued to meet tho government road ap liroprlatlon. After paying these bonds hero will be a surplus or at least T93.402.66. Since 1911 the Increase in tho number of outomobitcs - In fie 3!nto of Oregon has been 33 per :ent por year. Wllh the completion jf good roads thiB Inorcaso will natur ally he larger. However, wo have not tolien any Increase Into account but havo'bascd our figures on tho present number of automobiles."

Black, farmer Millwood Good roads will make Oregon tho greatest dairying center In the world, ltoniomber this when you vote on the road bond bill In June. The proposed bond Issue will pro vide good roads at no greater coit than the state Is now paying for poor oues. The action of tho recont Legislature in doubling the annual llconso on au tomobiles and making tho, funds de lived therefrom available for road construction is Justified by the rea soning that It is the automobile that destroys the road and It should bear the burden of road construction. "When public money Is honestly spent on a road every dollar becomes three dollars, says the Portland Jour nal. "First, thcro Is the dollar In the road itself. Sucondv there remains In the community the dollar which has been paid out for labor and material. Third, there is tho dollar of economic value added to the land adjacent to the road. This Is a real value, not a speculative one. It is an increase In productive capacity. Better reasons for supporting the road bond bill June 4th could not be offered. It may be depended upon that Highway Commissioners Benson, Thompson and Adams' will see to It that every dollar of the road fund Is honestly expended and full valuo re turned In roads honestly constructed. The personnel or the Highway Com mission, appointed by Governor Withy combe, Is in llseir a guarantee that the money derived from the proposed fO, 000.000 good mads bond Issue will be wisely and economically expended It Is a further guarantee that everj tent of the money will he spent Ir, practical road construction. There will be neither waste nor cxirava gance In the expenditure of the fund In voting the good roads bonds June 4th, the voters of tho state are taking absolutely no chances. The bill au thorizing tho bonds specifically do scribes the roads to bo Improved and defines the general character of their construction. Bids will be invited and, If tho proposals are excessive, the Highway Commissioners have an nounced that they will do their own paving. What more could be asked? None of tho money to he expended for good ronds under the bonding uct will be expended In Multnomah Conn ty although that county pays 40 per cent of the automobile licenses of the state and a proportionate share of the regular quarter mill road tux.
