Capital Journal Want Ads Pa? ORR RETIRES AS SHERIFF TO E Dallas, Or., Jan. 1. Ten years of uninterrupted service as sheriff of Polk county will be completed January 6 by John W. Orr when he turns oyer hie star to his suc cessor, Thomae V,. Hooker, who has served a like period aa chief dep uty under Mr. Orr. In his Toluntary retirement to take i p private business, Mr. Orr relinquishes a somewhat unique record. He baa held three two- year terms and one four-year term and has been nominated five timea without opposition by the republi can ticket and has twice been un opposed for election. On this first try for office, way back la 1911 Mr. Orr was beaten by John Grant ot Dallas. He came back ugaia two years later and was eloeted. The sheriff! office has increased about 100 per cent In all depart ments In 10 yeare, Mr. Orr esti mate). This includes tax collec tions, criminal work and civil pro cedure. T: criminal work has been chiefly augmented by llnu'r violations and this type of crime has shown little change In th last two or three years, he thinks. Sheriff Orr saya that in the bun dreds of arrests he bas made he haa seldom had to show his sun and has never bad occasion to us: it. In handling prisoners he has rarely reported to handcuffing them, even when bringing mon back from other states for trial Mr. Orr on retiring from office expects to locate in Salem where he plane to establish a collection agency. Mr. Hooker will enter upon the duties of the office just 50 years after his grandfather, J. J. Wl.'l lams, who became Polk county's sheriff in 1875 and served two Banker's Wife Advises 1 Salem People T had stomach trouble so bad everything I ate soured and form ed K"s.

These things I will do in 1925. terms. He wae born in Heppner, but haa lived most of his Ufa In Polk county. Previous) to entering the sheriffs office he was employ ed for nine years by the Falls City Lumber company.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly In direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful In overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is soon realized. It stand? the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent life Insurance companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are de clined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root la on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten eents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., HinRhamton, N. Y., for ft sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv. ft C. H. WIEDEg .With the waning of the old year and the welcome of the new we desire to express our thanks and appreciation to those who have favored us with their patronage. These manifestations of their confidence are, indeed, gratifying and an inspira tion toward greater effort to be of wholesome service during 1925. Again we extend to you our best wishes for a pros perous and happy New Year. We take this opportunity to heart ily thank all who made it possible for this store to prosper in 1924.
