Columbia Semi-Malleable Ra nge In the Columbia Range, we believe we are offering one of the very best and most attractive ranges made. It's a sanitary range. No place for dirt and scrubbing water to lodge year after year until the dirtiest place in the house is under the kitchen range, as is the case with all ranges running to the floor. It is a handy range, too. The polished top makes it easy to clean. The lift-up plate in front makes it handy to empty trash, etc. The damper handle in front is always cool. We are selling these ranges at a very low figure considering quality and will put them out on the easy payment plan. WE WOULD BE GLAD TO HAWE YOU CALL AND MAKE A PERSONAL INSPECTION 1 E.

Free Dry Land Alfalfa Seed Tho increased interest in alfalfa growing in the Central Oregon country is shown in the fact that W, C. Wilkes, assistant genera' freight and passenger agent of the Oregon Trunk Railway, has received over 150 applications for seed for dry farm cropping. Working in conjunction with Senator Geo. E. Chamberlain.of Washington, the Ore gon Trunk officials have asked and have been granted several times the amount of the original allottment of alfalfa seed for this section. About six pounds of the seed are estimated to be necessary for one acre. Appli cants who indicate they will try hard to get the best results for the seed ing and follow instructions literally regarding planting, preparation, care of ground, etc., are usually given first consideration. No one, however, has been refused. It is believed that if there is a general cultivation of alfalfa it will be bet ter for all concerned. wooKlng Rios.

Me toluiB, Ore, 12-18-6t Palmer Writing System The Text-book Commission last June adopted the A. N. Palmer Writing System for use throughout the state of Oregon. This adoption i i good for six years. In order that the people may have full benefit of the system the I'ulmer people have agreed to give free instruction to every public school teacher in Oregon. These drill patiers are received once a week and the course continues until j each teacher shall have developed her skill in this muscular movement writing system to such an extent that she may be granted a diploma. Of course it will require a much longer time for some than for others. It is most gratifying to note that most of our teachers are taking up this special writing sys tem offered by the Palmer people. The graded school teachers make application for membership through their various principals. The rural teachers make application for mem bership through the county superin tendents of each county.
