$.$.j$.jj$jj
(By Ralph Kaye.)
I have before me the advertise
ments of two different furniture
stores. They are both offering par
lor chairs at special prices. If I am
in the market for such chairs in con
sidering them I naturally have in
mind thA nnnprfiTioo nf m v hnmo sjtiH
what kind of chair will look best
witn my present home furnishings.
One advertisement says that their
chairs are "made of quarter-sawed
oak, upholstered in real leather and
are very comfortable." The illustra
tions show several styles with the
prices in big letters underneath each
cut. The other advertisement shows
a scene in a parlor with the chairs
placed around in an attractive man
ner. This picture showed the goods
advertised in their natural surround
ings they appeal to me and make it
easy ior me to imagine how they
would look in my house.
The reading matter or copy told
me how the chairs were made the
kind of wood, upholstery, style, their
comfort, easiness of moving, etc. Just
the points I want to know before I
purchase Furniture is no different
to advertise than anv nth fir nrtinlo
A chair, bed, dresser, etc., can be ex
ploited in terms that are interesting
to the customer instead of in dry,
stereotyped words that tell nnthiTiP'
If the furniture retailer would ad
vertise his aroods as If thev wen in
his own home and hp waro i,cinr
them and knew their wants, he would
be surprised how interesting and prof
itable his advertising would be.
TAXPAYERS NOT AS
PROMPT AS USUAL
The payment of taxes this year up
to date has been much slower than
last year, although tr-e bills were
sent out earlier. The largest amount
received from one source was ?3,000
paid by the Weyerhauser Land Com
pany. "We are receiving .jnany requests
for statements," said Sheriff Mass,
"and I cannot understand why the
property owners are not paying more
promptly."
A rebate of 3 per cent is allowed
on all taxes paid before March 15,
except the payers who take advan
tage of the two payment plan. A
penalty of 10 per cent and one per
cent interest monthly is attached af
ter the first Monday in April.

TENANT WINS FROM
CAN8Y LAND COMPANY
A jury in Justice of the Peace Sam
son's Court decided in favor of the
defendent in the case of the Canby
Land Company, of which Dr. H.
Freeze, of Portland, is principal own
er, against D. F. Desemo, involving
a lease of land. The plaintiff
leased the property on shares to the
defendant last year, the lease to
continue for two years, defendant
paying $1,100 for a one half interest
in stock and farming inplements on
the place. It was asserted that the
defendant did not divide equally with
the plaintiff at the end of the first
year of the lease, and the court was
asked to eject the defendant. The
jury held that Desemo was entitled
to remain on the property until the
expiration of the lease and ordered
that he pay the plaintiff $19.35.

MAN "CRAWFISHES"
liT IS CONVICTED
A plea that he is making crawfish
a special study did not save Charles
Mohler, who lives at Shipley's Bridge,
from a $50 fine Saturday in Justice of
the Peace Samson's court on a charge
of having caught crawfish out of sea
son. The charge was made by John
Sehaber, a neighbor of the defendant,
and Constable Frost made the arrest.
"I am guilty of catching crawfish,''
said Mohler, "but I do not think I
should be punished for I am working
in the interest of science. I am mak
ing a special study of crawfish and
have to catch them at all seasons of
the year to do my work thoroughly."
The man was unable to pay his fine
and was sentenced to serve 25 days
in the county jail. The fish were
caught in the Tualatin River near
Mohler's home.
