W H Y I SHOULD BUY AT HOME.
Because the community that is good enough for me
to live in is good enough for me to buy in.
Because I believe in transacting business with my
friends.
Because the men I buy from pay their share of the
town, school, county and state taxes.
Because the merchants I deal with help to support
the schools, the churches, the lodges and the homes of the
community.
Because when ill luck, misfortune or bereavement
comes, the man I buy from is here with the kindly greet­
ing, his words o f cheer, and his poeketbook, if need be.
Because every doller I spend at home stays at home
to aid in developing the community and promoting its
welfare.
Because the home dealers gives me credit when I am
short of cash.
Because I w an t to get exactly w hat I buy when I pay
for it.
Because the home dealer will stand back of the goods
he sells.
Because I w an t to sell here what I produce here.
Because I w an t to see the goods before I buy.
Here I live and here I buy.

FORMER RESIDENT
CALLEO BY DEATH
The funeral of B. F. Hend-
I ricks a pioneer of Lane county,
was held at the Pleasant Hill
church at 11 o’clock Thursday
with interment in the Pleasant
Hill cemetery. Rev. E. C. Wig-
more of the Christian church
conducted the obsequies.
Mr. Hendricks, who died Tues­
day, was one of the earliest set­
tlers of the county, having cross­
ed the plains with his father J.
M. Hendricks, when he was 12
years of age, in 1848. A t this
time the only settler in that por­
tion of the county was Elijah
Bristow. He remained with his
parents until he was 21 years of
age and then took up a donation
land claim at Pleasant Hill.
Later he became a gunsmith,
blacksmith, machinist and me­
chanical engineer. He moved to
Springfield a few years ago and
his w ife died there. He then
went to California and remained
a short time, coming back to
Oregon and taking up his resi­
dence in Eugene. He leaves
seven children in Washington,
Oregon and California.

Moose Smoker Next Tuesday.
The members of the Moose
order are going in for a little
athletics for the entertainment of
its members. A good time was
had at a recent smoker at which
time two medals were put up to be
awarded to the winning member
in an amateur boxing and wrest­
ling contest. The first honors
went to Stanley Damewood in
the wrestling match at that time
and the boxing decision to Brick
Rynard, but to win the medals
they must win out in two more
contests and on next Tuesday
evening another Smoker will be

The T a x Liberator, like most of the taxpayers in Ore­
gon, firmly believes that there is much need for greater
efficiency in public expenditure. It believes that there is
waste, extravagance, mismanagement and graft in the
administration o f public affairs in Oregon. Searching in­
vestigation, open discussion and public censure— these
and these only will bring relief and lower taxes. But such
eriticism must be intelligent, honest and fair. If public
officials who are faithful and competent are classed with
the unfaithful and incompetent, no results can be obtain­
ed. We must, therefore, be just as ready to commend the

The Long Prairie Argus says: “ Here is how many
of the editorials of the coutry press start off: “ Ever}"
dollar spent with your home merchant,”— but not a
word about every dollar spent by the home merchant in
the weekly newspaper increasing that merchant’s trade
100 per cent. Just a plea to come in and give the mer­
chant the business, with the collector and the sheriff
standing around the corner watching the poor news­
paper man dodge in order to be on the jo b to get out the
next issue, and “ boost” the merchant who never adver­
tises. The Argus would like to see every business man
in Long Prairie prosper— and it would also like to see
every business man in Long Prairie, at least carry a card
in the local paper.
The Sentinel is still spouting and throwing mud like
a Yellowstone geyser, because the Leader editor has won
local fame as a spring poet, while the Sentinel editor can
boast only o f excelling in the production of wearisome
fables and solemn patent medicine testimonials. Why,
the blooming Rube refers to our “ Otic to the Saxon” as
“ punk poetry,” when it contained a thousand times more
logic and literary merit than did his recent rantings about
the “discovery of a lost city near Divide,” an “airship
flight over Lorane,” the “crash of a meteor on the hilltops
west of tow n ,” in fact, the reading of that paper, especial­
ly at bedtime, is not productive of sweet dreams. Sub­
scribe for the Leader.
Multnomah county pro|toses to get busy building
her seventy miles o f paved roads within thirty days, nnd
to have the task completed by the first of October. That
will be great. It will put the issue of hard surface!I high­
