Beneficiaries Given Until
June 1 to Fill Out Blanks
Provided
Few union soldiers and sailors j
of the Mexican war, the War o I
the Rebellion or of thc Indian1
wars, living jn Marion countv.j
have availed themselves of their;
privileges under the act passed at I
the last legislature to exempt j
from taxation property to the val
uation of $1000.
According to Oscar Steelham
mer, county assessor, there may
be many who would be glad to
take the soldier's exemption oath
were the opportunity called to
their attention. He further sta'
ed that an extension of time to
June 1 will be granted that even
one entitled to such exemption
may have ample time to fill out
th exemption blank provided b
the assessor.
I.aw is Quoted
In order that there may be no
misunderstanding as' to the mean
ing of the law, excerpts are gtvtn
below:
"There shall be exempt from

or. It shall be the duty of every
assessor annually to make a list
of such soldiers, sailors or widows
and return such list to the coun
ty court upon forms to le furn
ished by such court for that pur
pose, but failure on the part o'
any assessor so to do shall not ar
fect the validity of any exemption.
All soldiers, sailors or widows
thereof herein referred to shall
receive a reduction equal to their
amount of exempt'on. the same
to be made from the homestead
of such sailor, soldier or widow.
if he or she shall ow n a home- j
stead of the value of such exemp
tion, otherwise out of such prop
erty as shall be designated and
owned by the soldier, sailor or
widow; such designation to be
mart either to the assessor or by
writing filed with the county
courts.
Wives Also Item-fit
The exemption herein provid
ed shall also extend to the prop
erty of the wife of any such sol
diet or sailor where they are liv
ing together and occupying the
same as their homestead and he
has not otherwise received the
benefit of this act; provided, that
FUCh exemption shall only extend
to a period during which such sol
dier, sailor or widow of any so1
dier Or sailor remains the owner
of such property, and upon the
sale thereof to any person other
than those of the class included
in thia act, such exemption KhaiT

shall be returned by the assessor
to the county court, and Jf no

empt'on shall be allowed by th
assessor."

Although the nursery is located

CAN YOU WRITE
A GOOD AD?
If you think you know
how to write a good classi
fied advertisement, here's
your chance to win one of
the three cash awards the
Statesman will give each

titled "How to Write a
.Classified Ad."
The first awards will be

Tills Week's Award.
A number of very inter
esting "stories" about how
to write a classified ad.
were received last week;
the Judges have decided up
on the following as winners:
First award, $2.50, Mrs.
Nettie Graham, Gen. Del.,
Salem.
Second award. F. M. Mil
lie 517 N. Capitol st., Salem.
Third award. Mrs. F. W.
Allen. 625 N. Winter St., Sa
lem. Ore.
The story winning the 3rd
award is published in full
below; the others will be
published In future Issues of
The Statesman. Watch for
them.
In writing ads to get the best
results I have often thought 1
would like to tell The Statesman
that to my positive knowledge
many would get better results If
they gave their address as well as
phone number. Why?
Because many who would buy
l.ave no phone. Often when thJ
advertiser is called up. central
says, "no answer," and by this
time the would-be buyer has pur
chased some place else or changed
his mind.
Then asnin. th price should
be stated; many times those who
i-dvertlse have bargains to offer,
but unless they give prices one is
apt to think, the price being om-
ilted. the article is high; many a
would-b"! buyer scans the adver
tisements for bargains.
Then again, the ad should not
be too sparing of description, as
cutting an ad too short to save
on the price hampers its working
power as a classified ad. The
articles should be as described,
loth for individual things listed,
and those advertised by ths
stores.
Only thiH morning my husband
afUed for the morning Statesman'
I want to look over those bargains
offered, and he mentioned a well
known firm who advertises in
ur paper.

There seldom is a business transaction be
tween men in different places that cannot be com
pleted by telephone and, in many instances, in
less time than it takes to dictate the average bus
iness letter.
Consider the time taken by correspondence
and the unavoidable delays of the mails. Try the
lonp;-distance telephone in your out-of-town busi
ness transactions.
Kecent improvements ; in transmission have
made it possible to talk satisfactorily to any point
in this country.
Ixng-diHtancc service is the direct and ecp

with undue expense and delay.
