ner guests Saturday of their grand
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Zivney.
We have heard of several auto ac
cidents of late. Several persons we
might mention are having auto trou
ble, either with the payments or some
thing being out of commission, and it
reminds us of a little poetry we once
read, which runs like this:
Oh, its so easy to look pleased,
When your auto is all up in trim;
But the man who is worth while is the
man who can smile
When he is obliged to run home on
the rim.

lower Hazelia are rejoicing to know

We sometimes wonder if our scrib
blings are worth sending in and if
many read them. But we feel some
what encouraged since Saturday.
While in Oregon City we heard sev
eral different ones mention something
we had written last week, so we know
some read them at least. We also
received a letter recently from a
friend at a distance saying, "Why
don't you send items to the Courier
every week; we are always disap
pointed if the Hazelia items are not
in?" So we are going to try to do
better, but only those who have tried
being a correspondent to the their lo
cal paper know what a hard job it is.
Very often interesting things happen
which we don't hear about or do not
hear all the particulars; then our
neighbors blame us for not mention
ing it. And such are the trials of a
correspondent, but we know the editor
understands, for he has a lot more
blame coming his way. There are
so many chronic cranks who always
kick about their local paper, but we
notice they are always anxious to
read it and give the postman Hail
Columbia if the paper is a day late.
Albert R. Boutz spent a pleasant
evening in Oswego Sunday.

itor in Oswego Saturday.

Mr. Opportunity Knocks
at Every Man's Door
T TOW often do we hear the expression,
"If I had a little ready money I
could make a fortune!" Why not have
a little ready cash when Mr. Opportunity
knocks at your door? Mr. Opportunity is
a gracious fellow, but he turns away
from the man who is not ready to welcome
him. Get ready for his visit by placing
a certain sum in this Bank. Then when
he comes you can take care of him.

Sunday afternoon a very enjoyable
wedding anniversary was celebrated.
Mr. and Mrs. Hinder have ' gone

bration. There were many present, includ
ing all of the children and grandchil
dren. A musical program was given
during the afternoon. Alto Aehler
sang several songs. During the
afternoon lots of the older pieces
were sung and played. Mrs. Bray

nier, served a luncheon.

lecturer had a very good program.
We would like to have you come to
our grange, and hear our program.
Grange is always on the last Satur
day afternoon of the month.
Mr. Brown, janitor of the Park
place school, is home again, very sick

BORING
The winter days are gliding swift
ly by and no very cold weather yet.

We have been paying from 5 to 10-
mill special road taxes for five or six
years and still we can't claim two
miles of good roads in district 6. We
have one-half mile of road that has
not cost the county one cent and we
can't get even the general taxes
worked out on it. We have about two
miles of road in the eastern part of
the district that are almost impass
able. What do lawyers and city peo
ple know about building roads! All
they think about roads is to build
hard surfaces for autos, which are
no good for the farmer. I would like
to hear from some else through these
columns from district 5 or anywhere
else in the county.

A snow-storm raged here last win
ter about the same time, but did not
stny long, as we had fine weather in
February.
C. W. Harris sold his mountain
steer the first of the week to Ernie
Leaf of Marmot. This big animal
had roamed these woods for six years
and had an immense pair of horns.
It was thought that there would be
"big doings" in getting him, but after
he was put in a corral and a rope
thrown around his head, he was se
cured, and a hood-wink put on him so
he could not see which way to charge.
He was tied to the horn of a saddle
on the lead horse and with another
mounted man behind with a good dog
he was taken away without much
trouble. -
The school house was well filled
Inst Friday night. The program was
divided into two parts. The first, in
charge of Mrs. August Budenstein,
consisted of songs, recitations and
vaudeville. One of the minstrels
said the cost of living was so high
that nobody but an aviator could
reach it and that even Sloan's Lini

part, under the direction of Grace
Shank, was equally well received.

home for a week looking up, a home
stead on the coast.

sorry to lose him, but we wish him

DON'T RISK NEGLECT
Don't neglect a constant backache,
sharp darting pains or urinary dis
orders. The danger of dropsy or
Bright's disease is too serious to ig
nore. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, as
have your friends and neighbors.
An Oregon City case.
Thomas Trembath, 310 Sixth
St., Oregon City, says: "I have found
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from
Huntley Bros. Co.'s drug store, an
excellent medicine and they have my
endorsement. I used them on two
occasions when my back and kidneys
bothered me and they certainly made
the soreness and lameness in my back
disappear in short order." (State
ment given April 4, 1913.)
On April 17, 1916, Mr. Trembath
said: "Whenever my back gets to
hurting or my kidneys are out of fix,
a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills
does the work."
Price 60c, at all - dealers. ' Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mr. Trembath has twice publicly re
commended. Foster-Milburn Co.,
Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Important Announcement
Ever zealous in our efforts to perfect our faculties for best serv
ing our patrons and to maintain this store's maxim of always
giving the BEST VALUES we announce that beginning
with our fiscal year, February 1, we will inaugurate strictly
a cash policy of buying and selling.
Charge Accounts Will Be Discontinued
By thus eliminating the expense and inestimable loss incident
to the credit policy, we are at once enabled to give our cus
tomers the benefit of much lower prices on high-grade mer
chandise than can be offered by the other stores doing a credit
business.
Comparative Prices Will Be Eliminated From Our Advertising
Every buying advantage we gain goes straight to the people
who patronize us. We ask a fair share for ourselves no
more. We have never taken more, consequently we have
' more than the mere satisfaction of succeeding we have the
consciousness of having dealt fairly with those who have given
us success.
The true test of value-giving is the comparison of offerings
. here and elsewhere, and by such comparison we are willing to
i leave the decision to your own best judgment as to where you
can be served to the greatest personal advantage.
It is gratifying to learn that another prominent concern has also
determined to discontinue the practice of quoting comparative
prices.
Come and Compare These Offerings
