Weather-beaten and warped siding, cracka
and open joints are forerunners of decay.
Many property owners ner'ect to look for siirh
signs, judging their houses and buildings by general
appearances only.
It is good business to make regular inspection of your
property, and to use paint of good quality, which is the
purest preventive of decay.
Through the varying conditions of weather in all their
extremes, FULLER Paint has proved both its preserv

I Look t o a 7
After reaching homo I made ex-.si-s
to liiys-if for not road inn Karl
'. in .lard's ku.r. Ii. f:i t, 1 hung up
nv -'at wfhmit taking it out of the
pocl.et, and yet 1 was consumed with
euriosity to know what was In It.
It's very human to turn an en-ilon-
over and over in your hand
rnd wonder what the U tter contains
when It would be the easiest matter
in I he world to Ju-t own It and read
the ui:slve Uut with me there was
something over and above mere
-urlosl-y. 1 really wanted to kuow
Vhar K;irl Shenard had written, and
yet I did not think It was quite right
for me to read another oem snih
as he had written me the last time.
It was too personal.
Filially when I could make no
more ei'tises to myself I took out
the letter and read: "If you only
knew, my dear Kaiherine, hi.w much
pleasure I get in sending my thoughts
tn you. you would nut allow any
Puritanical prejudices to stand In
the way of reading them.
lU'ivon fur Ills Jiy.
"Hnw do I know that you have
prejudices against reading them?
Why. my dear. I know you. 1 know
you perhaps better than you know
yourself. 1 know your lo.vr.lty and
steadfastness to John and because
of It 1 am not quite sure that you
will ever read this letter; and some
times I do not care if you never do.
The Joy I am getting out of it is the
Joy of sending my unexpurgated
thoughts to you.
'l have learned. Kaiherine, one
wonderful thing about you shall I
p.-.y friendship? and that Is that
there Is really much more happiness
In giving love than there is In re
eivjne It. Much as I would like to
know that you arc well, that ou are
happy, and that you "are thinking a
little tiny bit of me occasionally, I
would rather that I would give up
ho sound of your voice of your
nearnes than the wonderful Joy of
my dreams about you.
I am out here tonight In I.otus
land mv dear Katherine. all the way
rfown the Nile. Lotus are In bloom.
The whole river is creamy white with
he blossoms, and the moon turns
h.-m at free to silver and then to

Acre, when 1 was close beside you j
n that occidental latl of youth and i
energy.
1 thank the fates every day that
I had s'ept the earlier Part of mv '
life In making money lots of moojy
I because 1 am afiaid. if 1 were no.
blo to indulge in my dreams now,
that my buatm-sa would sunVr grtai
ily. I am smiling at myself, dear.
when I think what my fnenus woui.i
My if tliev could look down in my
heart and find the trend of my mind
iheee days. Kvery one of Ihein woul.l
ihink 1 had gone i.nd.
"You aee, 1 have gone thouaind
of miles away from you Just to find
you; and I am eiijoylns every -nun
rte of It out her alone with you to

"You know I ciin't picture you
back th. re in the little country ch':

so often described to me as dividin.

as romantic, just as idealistic as I
am when they find 'he one woman
and vet some way they are aha:ne.l
to tell It. I don't think I could !el
all this to anvune but you. Indeed.
I do not think that I could even teil
It to you. I ran onlv write ni
dreams, not knowing whether voi
will ever read them, and so I am en
Ing to say 'good nisht' anil, just si'

Footlmll of Fate.
I wonder if fate Is always taneline
up the threads of other people's lives
as she does mine? It is my destiny,
ft seems, never to pet a letter from
Karl Shepard. hreaililng the most
poetic devotion, that I do not re
ceive one exactly opposite from John.
Is fate Joking or d'les she want us
fully to unders'and the difference be
tween a husband and a lover.
While I had been away a special
delivery letter from John the let
ter I had gone to meet had passed
me by and Hannah had re-etwd it
and placed it in tny room. I did not
notice it when 1 first came In. my
thoughts were so taken up with the
envelojie in my po.kot, b.it now as
I went to place Karl Shepard's letter
in a drawer 1 s.iw .li hu s ;i ( .
the dresser.
It was in a !uincF3 envelope and
It evidently had been written from
rn office in the oil fields, for It
reeked with the odor c erue oil,
from greasy smudges upon it. As I
tore it open 1 had a feeling of be
ing a spectator at a play', so coincl
dently had letters from these two
men been coming to me lately.

Koseburg, Ore.. May 18, 1920.
Editor News-Reirlew:
1 ssw an editorial In your ppCT
recently giving a plan tor making a
ve city tliul 1 thought was a fine
idea, it wua a plan for getting ideas
Iroin the people at large by the use
of printed slips to be dlatrlb.ilvd
among them calling for suggestions
retarding the welfare of the cliy. An
artlile on the front rage of your pa
per of Jiay 17 asks "What's the mat
ter with Roseburg?" 1 want to Bay
ihst the main trouble with Koseburg
is that the will of the people of Roso
burg is not being carried out. Yean
:go the people of this city voted
S.'JO.OciJ uuiids for the construction
of a municipal light and water plant.
Why didn't we get It? I want some
body to answer that question. Why
didn't we pet it when one dollar
would buy what three dollars will
buy now? For years we have wanted
a city park. At last a public spirited
citizen offered a beautiful park Bile
to us absolutely free of churge and
seems to be having a hard time to
get our city duds to take It.
It is proposed now to make the
pi blic buy an aviation Bite. This
proposition Is backed by a deter
mined set of business men who will
rtap whatever benefit there Is to b-.
gained by such a site, and they want
the people to foot the bill. The peo-
le who would defeat that measure
are the ones that have the best in
terests of Roseburg at heart, and!!'
their will is carried out we will havi
a bigger 'and better city, because the
city will be full of boosters lusteid
of a discontented populace. The peo
ple went to the polls and cast a solid
vote for a railroad and sawmill but
we couldn't have that. It seems we
er.nno! have anything that will mnk
for a biggor and better city. The
aviatlor site would lie a fine thing on
1 aper to spread broadcast over the
world but that's all. It would brine
moro people here to Join the dls-"on
tented lot that Is here. The busi
ness men would get what loose
bange ihey had and the purpose of
;!ie aviation site would have been
.tried, but the prosresslve citizen.
of the city do not look with favor on
a proposition of that kind.
It is claimed airplanes are practi-
al as forest patrol, but we have es
trbllshed lookout stations with tele
phones throughout the forests a!
it-eat expense, and they are the most
efT'"'" means of detecting ard re
ertliu a fire there is. The "pro-
;.-e:sivc" rumens who are so anxious
:. r att av-a.rn field ace cs refill not
o mention the huge continual ex
pense nf maintaining an aviation
'. Id after It is once established. Let
he business men buy the Ilanan field
if they want It so bad. They co:ild
'o It and not miss the monev. The
same argument applies to the tour
'st rami) grounds. Nobody wants the
camp grounds ex.-ipt the business
:mn. Thpy want It for the new dol
'ars it brines In and nothing else,
r.et them furnish the grounds. The
ity dads have already appropriated
-."0 from the city treasury for th
'euefit of the tourist and are Just
waiting to see If the people will stand
for It to squander a much larger
nm on it and lack hundreds more
on fnr an annual upkeep. ;)on't be
for.bd. I say vote for something
that will make for a bigger and bet
ter city. Vote for a municipal light
:ni w.iter plant: Vote for the inter
ests of the people at large. Instead nf
bench of men that are so anxious
to add to their dollars.
