The polllcal dopesters said that be had no chance on earth and was simply sacrificing himself, but since Mr. Simpson announced he has made a ,.woii(k'.rf.il stir In,, political circles and has developed such a big .fol lowing that bo Is being .talked of quite freely now as a possible win ner. , ' .: Mr. Simpson should receive the solid support of Coos and Curry Counties. He Is a home man, who has been identified with Southwest ern Oregon developmnt almost all his life, and if he is to make a good showing, surely his home peo ple should stand behind him at sucli a time. Nearly everyone In . Curry County knows ' Mr. Simpson. .There nro other reasons why Mr. Simpson's candidacy . should nppen) to Curry County. Ho has been en gaged In the lumber business and knows timber, and timber is one of the big resources of Curry County. Ho in n member of the Pacific Coast Dcfeuse League, tho purpose of which Is to build a military high way along tho coast. Ho Is highly In favor of this movement and such a highway would bo highly import ant to Curry county. Resides, Mr. Simpson Is the best matreinl for Governor presented in this rncx.' He lias the ability to fill the place with credit to himself and to Southwestern Oregon. If every body in Curry County votes for Mr. Simpson, It will do much to further his chances, nnd he Is surely enti tled to this suiiport.

Do not wait until Spring and Summer when yon are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your granerics now. You can buy tho lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you $125.00 and this would he a dead loss against this year's crop, A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doing nwuy with high priced labor handling nnd sewing sacks. . The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for the protection of their very lives nnd perhap's your boyi is among them. Spend your money in your own vnllcy by buying lumber manufactured at home. When you buy sucks part of the money goes to India. BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW . , Be prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, ns low grade lumber will givo you trouble in a few seasons. Don't Use green lumber. . Save, money keep what you spend nt home pvevent loss and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the tnchcs; help win tho war by building granaries now..
