OBSERVER PAGE SEVJS-!f La Grande Community Mausoleum Magnificent Permanent Sanitary Non-Sectarian Non-Taxable Perpetually Maintained j fl-lVINC w itnouL w urry Insuring your house does not prepare it to burn, but does prepare you to live without worry as to the every-present possibility of its destruction by fire. Providing Mausoleum protection is not preparing to die. It is preparation to LIVE WITHOUT WORRY as to the ever-present possibility of loved ones dying and being dishonored by grave or fur nace violence.

The revenge of neglect is merciless, and it follows the unprepared. , - Will YOU prepare or not? In the calm of health consider and choose. Intelligent investigation must precede decision. You cannot afford to spend a moment in gloomy contemplation of death; but you can afford to devote a day to the discovery of peace ful living by preparedness.

When the senate goes into executive session, all is solemn and serious.
