No one can always guess just what is wrong but the remedy can always be the same. Good old Castoria! There's comfort in every drop of this pure vegetable prepara . tion and not the slightest harm In its frequent use. As often as baby has a fretful spell, is feverish and cross and can't sleep, let Castoria' soothe and quiet him. Sometimes it's a touch of colic. Sometimes it is constipation. Just keep Castoria handy and give freely for any of. the above conditions: relief will follow promptly. All through . babyhood, Cas toria is a mother's standby, and wise mothers do not change to stronger medicines as the child grows older. Just increase the dose of Castoria and keep the youngster's stomach sweet and the bowels in good order. - To be sure olgettinj genuine lcherVCastoria you should signature: ENGEDRETSON'S CHOICE FOUCIIT Clatsop Farmers File Warm Protest in Audience With Meier Here (Continued crom pace 1) large ranch in Clatsop coanty. said that as far as ne anew c- Mindee had not. visited Ms ranch during the -past three years. j "The-county agent certainly is ot no- use to me, concluded Tweedle. : . .. ; The charge also was mane mat the editor of the Astoria Budget has complete control over, the county court. Object to Paying; Two County Agents Particular objection was made by several speakers to the em ployment of two county a gen is. It was alleged that one of these agents receives an annual salary of $5100, while the otner ageni receives $1800 a year. 5 "What we want -Is an audit ot both the experiment station and the county -agent department,? declared "Mr. Wilson. : Another speaker asked whether It would be possible for the governor to remove Ins head of the experi mental station and the county agent. Governor : Meier replied that this is not possible under the existing, laws, - It was brought out that 30 per cent of the farms in Clatsop coun ty are now delinquent in the pay ment of taxes. , Marks Suggests -J -, . Taxation Study i WUlard Marks, president of the senate, suggested that the Clat sop county farmers organize anl association and give some study to their tax bills. You will find. said Marks. "that most of the taxes are due to local levies. Less than four cents of the tax dollar goes to pay state costs, while the county levies average less than 7 cents. Forty-six cents of your tax dollar goes for education, 23 cents for roads and X cents for municipal expenses. Marks urged the farmers to take more interest in local tax af fairs. He also called attention of the group to mlllage levies over whieh neither the governor nor the legislative have any control. uovernor Meier made it plain that he had not made an- deci sion as to -who he- would appoint director of the -state agricultural department. ; He sursrested that the delegation return to their homes, prepare a statement showing any overlapping and ex travagances in county .govern ment, and send the same to him office. . Governor Meter was commend ed by the speakers for his effort to reduce taxes. Special reference was made to the executive 1 veto of $590,000 in the appropriation for the higher board ot educa tion.
