GOOD FARMING GOOD LIVING.
Epigrams From Head of Uncle Sam's
Farm Department.
A prosperous, intelligent, and con
tented rural population is essential to
our national perpetuity.
It is impossible to impress upon
anyone that there is dignity in resid
ing upon a farm with impoverished
soil, dilapidated buildings, and an en
vironment of ignorance.
The income of the farm can be in
creased from three to five fold by the
use of improved methods.
More power and less hand work.
The world's most important school
is the home and small farm.
The basis of the better rural life
is greater earning capacity of the
farmer.
Demonstration work may be regard
ed as a system of adult education giv
en to the farmer upon his farm by
means of object lessons in the soil,
prepared under his observation and
generally by his own hand.
Agriculture in most sections con
sists simply in a series of motions in
herited from Adam.
These mechanic farmers now reside
in a town or city, live out of a canned
garden, and milk a tin cow.
The least worthy monument to a
man is a granite blnck or a marble
shaft. They represent the dead
man's money anil the kindness of
friends. The true monument is what
the man has accomplished in life. It
may be a better gate, or house, or
farm, or factory; put his name on it
and let it stand for him.
Receipts for Last Week.
Receipts at Portland last week
were: Cattle. i.V; calves, 16; hosrs.
()8fl; sheep. 40.m
Cattle. Light receipts of cattle for
the week, with good demand, prices
being fully 2"c. higher on all grades.
Top on steers $7.25 to $7.30; cows
and heifers of best quality moving at
-tti.OO.
Hogs. Swine run also light, outlet
broad and demand urgent, $8.75 was
top first half of the week, but price
rapidly climbing to the !tc. level, Ms
two loads sold Friday at $8.90.
The Outlook Is Bright
Lebanon Criterion: "It has been
several years since the republicans
of the first district erf Oregon have
had as good a trio of leaders in their
political campaigns as is the ease this
year. Dr. Withycomb for governor;
F. A. Booth for I. S. senator, and
.W. C. Hawley for member of congress
is a showing ot strength that is seldom
made in one campaign. It has
st 'ongly appealed to the democrats
that they are leaving no stone unturn
ed to lessen the influence of the big
three wherever the opportunity comes
to them and they are not particular
in their mode of attack. There is one
thing sure that is the republicans of
Oregon are in better shape for their
campaign this year than for several
years past, and there is little pros
pect for the democrats to work in
their usual stunt of party division,
Our leaders are all good sound men
and the narty is marching strongly
united behind them. In Oregon that
means victory."

Everywhere We Hear Good Reports
of Doan'e Kidney Pills.
Dallas is no exception. Every sec
tion of the U. S. resounds with praise
of Doan's Kidney Pills. Thirty thous
and persons are giving testimony in
their home newspapers. The sinceri
ty of these witnesses, the fact that
they live so near, is the best proof of
the mirt of Doan's. Here's a Dallas
case.
Mrs. C. E. Graves, 121 Washington
street, Dallas Oregon, says: "Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism came on
me and I gradually grew worse, until
I could hardly endure the suffering.
Dull pains settled in my back and
across my kidneys. 1 bad sharp,
shooting twinges all through my body.
I tried a great deal of medicine but
nothing eave me much relief until
I began using Doan's Kidney Pills,
They helped me from the first and
soon had me feeling like a different
woman. Doan's Kidney Pills have
benefitted me in every way. They
have improved my appetite and my
weight has increased."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Graves had. Foster-Milburn

Ross Nelson of Independence was
a Sunday visitor in Dallas.
THE CLASSIFIED "AD."
In learning to utilize Class-
ified Advertising, you take a
"six-league" stride toward
success I There are still some
people living in Dallas ' and
Polk county who have not
learned to use The Observer's
classified advertising columns.
Thev know that there are
"such things as "want ads,"
and probably assume that
some people must find them
useful. But. for some reason
or other, they have not put
these "ads" to the test of
usefulness to themselves.
These same people have
"caught up" with events in
many other directions. They
utilize the telephone, the tele-
graph, gas, electric light, the
street cars. They adopt mod-
ern conveniences for house-
keeping. Thev utilize time
and labor-saving appliances in
business.
But, having a task for a
classified advertisement to do,
they try to find some other
way to accomplish it. If it is
a renting task, they depend
upon a placard. If it is a
property selling task, they
put up a "For Sale sign."
If it is a position-finding task.
they rely upon personal
friends to help them. If they
have furnished rooms to rent,
thev nlace an advertisement in
the window or over the door
bell.
When these people make
their first successful use of
want advertising, they acquire
a new optimism. Irksome
tasks become mere business
matters. New possibilities
without numlier open to them.
They learn to utilize the "Six-
League Boots" of publicity
when occasion requires and
every little daily problem be-
comes manageable. The Ob-
server is published Tuesdays
and Fridays, and gives re-
suits. It hu been proven.

ed from a neighbor added. "And. malr

BUTTER WRAPPERS
MAKE THEM WORK.
You have noticed the handsome
labels on packages sent out by
leading manufacturers of crack
ers and other similar goods? Of
course you have. Nifty, eht
Nice appearing labels help to
sell these goods. The label of
the National Biscuit Co. costs
a bunch of money, and if we in
clude the box, reaches a cost al
most equaling its contents.
DOES IT PAY?
You may safely gamble that it
does. A pretty package attracts
attention and makes sales. You
know it everybody knows it.
Well printed butter wrappers
do the same thing. We make
them. Butter wrappers in one or
