Palmer yesterday tendered his resig nation as the head of the city com missioners,.) take effect as soon as his successor can be named by the board. In taking this action, Mayor Palmer stated that he had considered the step for a long time from every angle and failed to see where he could act-otherwise. . The cutting of , his salary from 2500 to $1500 a year at the election in November, 1914, is the reason for his action in following in the footsteps of Commissioner Fin ley, who resigned several months ago for the same reason. -; "If the handling of the business affairs of the city of Baker is not worth more than the present salary; which is only a living, I em ready to step out," said Mr. Palmer in an nouncing his resignation to the board. 'The responsibility is not commensur ate with the compensation, and I see nothing ahead if I continue in office." He also spoke somewhat further on the matter and added that he would give Commissioners Henry and Whit- tier time to" seek a successor.' " At the close of tho mayor's re marks Mr. Henry spoke in similar vein, saying that while he would not resign at thiB time, it was his inten tion to do so at the earliest possible moment, when the opening presented itself as he intimated it soon would. Mr. Whittier spoke briefly, saying: "I concur in everything that has been said," which also expresses his views in a few short words.

DID you ever stop to think that taking a few less steps each day means saving many weary miles in life's long way. THERE are about "forty-'Ieven" cream separators, according to "vital" statistics; but in my opinion, there's only one cream separator that is built with the express purpose of saving space, time, energy, steps and temper. TIIE U. S. IS A CONVENIENT MACHINE United States Cream Separators have self-draining bowls and theso are HANDV, for they save slop ping and dropping, and strains on tired arms. United States Cream Separatora can be driven from either side. That's HANDY because it allows the machine to be set in eny corner of the room. United States Cream Separators take up little Aoor space, find the bases are all open. That makes them HANDY to clean under. United States Cream Separators do not have to be started with hct water. You don't have to be told how HANDY that feature is. - United States Cream Separators have just a few parts in the skimming bowls, and these are cleansed, steril ized and dried in a Mechanical Washer. That cer tainly is HANDY when you consider tho two-scorc-an-J-morc parts which must be hand washed in the dies type of separator j. United States Cream Separators,, with square supply cans, make it possible to place all parts to be washed in the square can, the whole being; easy to carry under one arm, leaving the other free to carry tho cream. That is so very HANDY that it saves two entire round trips between dairy and wash sink every day. United States Cream Separatora being always in (rear, start instantly from any point, with no jerk or jump, and without any preliminary hand oiling. The oil feeds perfectly even in tho coldest weather, and that's HANDY toot You Will Notice Many Other HANDY Points When Using the U. S. Separator. IT WOULD EE HANDY FOR ME to Icavo a United States Cream Separator at your place next week. Let me know how much milk you want to skim each day and I'll figure out the size you need. Business is rushing! Don't put off ordering any longer. OREGON CO-OPPERATIVE Distributors
