recently moved bands of his sheep
fo range In the Wallowa canyon,
where It Is stated that the grass is
f beginning to get fairly good for
sheep range, , although poor to
what It usually Is at this season
of the year. .Many of the smaller
flocks can be handled to a good
advantage at this time. as they are
being shifted around on parts of
I the ranches where the grass has
Lniado good enough start to provide
fcauch of their feed. A lew of the
late liimhinK bands are being
lambed nt this time, with practi
cally all reporting good luck in
saving a large percentage of the
lambs. K. S. Wolfe, of Middle
Valley, reports a fine bunch of
lambs from his flock of ewes at
the farm. On Saturday .Mr. Wolfe
staled that he had marked up 1'72
lambs and still had, nine ewe

How often have you heard people make such a remark? And
how often have you expressed just such a wish? How many emer
gencies or opportunities in your lifetime when a thousand dollars,
or a few thousand - - or even a few hundred - - would have meant
a great deal? . .
And, realizing that, there are scores of men and women in
La Grande who are preparing for the time when they will want
and need a thousand dollars - - accumulating it rapidly in a Buila
& Loan investment
Put in as little or as much each month as you like - - put in as
much as you can and your goal is realized more quickly than
you think. , Start with $5 or .$10 a month. You need pay no mem
bership fee in the La Grande Building & Ixan. The interest is
compounded semi-annually - - added to your own investment pay
ments. No fines or penalties if you miss payments. No loss of
your money or the interest it has earned if you have to withdraw
to meet an emergency at any time.
It's the ideal, profitable, safe investment. It guards against
that futile wish - - "If I only had a thousand dollars!"

no shingles better than
theses , , .
Pa nco Thatch Siiinoi.es create roofs of incomparable beauty because
of the colorful depths of the shadow effects produced by the de
lightful irregularities of thifrdistinctive design. '
But more important than beauty is the service and satisfaction that
these shingles give. Not only is each shingle woven together at the bot
tom and sides with a patented thatch, but in addition every shingle is
made an integral rigid pjirt of the roof. It is the only shingle made which
is hailed at the top, center and bottom i , . making it impossible for the
shingle to ever flap in the wind or permit the rain to penetrate. The shin
gles arc ingeniously arrangcJ so that not a single nail head is exposed.
No matter what price you wish to pay for a shingled roof, the Pabco
Thatch Shingle is within your reach. Its cost can be made to fit your
purse by a variance in the manner of laying. A flexible deferred payment
plan makes payments a matter of your convenience.
Pabco Thatch Shingles are fire-resistant and can be laid right over old
wooden shingles. Only Pabco dealers and authorized application agents
can supply these superior patented shingles. .
Free oof Inspection Service
A Pabco Roof expert will gladly inspect your roof and tell you about
its actual condition. Mail the coupon to our nearest office.
