There seems to bo a growing senti
ment among the municipalities of the
state to enforce and enact stringent
laws to prevent the .sale of ttfbacco to
minors. Pnnevlllo Is among the latest
cities to pass strict municipal laws
governing the sale. Those who are
keeping In touch with the boys and
young men of the present generation
are gratified to note the great decline
In the use of tobacco among the
youth.
There seems to be an erroneous Idea
abroad among the voters to the effect
that the voting of the bonds for a new
high school building means higher
trades than are now taught. The st)it'
law make no provision higher than
. the 12th grade. which has been taught
In the 1m Grande public schools for
several years.'
Portland has found out how ineon

Band concerts would certainly be
In keeping with this splendid weather.
We havo fine weather, a fine band,
why not the open air concerts? This
will undoubtedly be considered In the
near future.

It looks good to see every few
mornings three or four empty passen
ger coaches bound for the east. This
means that th etravel to the const Is
much greater, which means the north
west is absorbing a largo population.

YIANACOPULOS A CITIZEN
GRI'KKS TAKE OUT .PAPERS
TO AVOID MILITARY DUTY.
Ilex-onuw ApiMirrnt Today Why so
Many Greeks. Have Taken Out Nat
uralization PaMrs Kneently Cat is
Ix-t Out of Dag by Young I-VI low
Tills Morning.
The reason why several Greeks have
thrown off allegiance to King George
I and applied for naturalization pa
pers in Union county has only today
become apparent, when Nicholas Yla
naeopulos applied for such papers.
YuunKHlreeks leave their native land
before they are 18 years of age, and
by applying for naturalization papers
and going through the process of be
coming citizens of Uncle Sam, they
dodge danger of being arrested and
sent back to their native land to do
military duty. The reason for ho many
Greeks taking out naturalization pa
pers In Union county has always been
a study topic for- those who watch
the trend of affairs In the clerk's of
fice. Today this man with the long name
correctly spelled above, let the cut'out

A final account In the estate of Wil

Hutchinson, was filed today after hav
ing dragged along since 1893, when
letters of administration were issued.
During these many years the large es
tate which was In a tangled condition
legally, was straightened out to the
evident satisfaction of the court. It
Is seldom that administrators have 'this
long a duty with one estate.

There are several kinds
of drilling but the kind
the kind to at makes the
farm pay is the drilling
which makes water avail

of a dry farm. The task
is not so great as you

years of experience and
understand the well busi
