Bob's Some Speed Cop
Bub Wilson is' an observer of
the speed laws and expects others
to be likewise. Yesterday
.morning an auto containing five
people paaed Bob, on the hill
coming up from the river, going
at a rate of at least 35 miles an
hour. The machine did not slow
up when it reached the school
buildings, so Wilson took after,
catching it at the first turn on
the hill leading out of town.
The driver disclaimed knowledge
of having passed a pcaool house,
and after thanking our citizen
for his interest in the matter
was allowed to proceed on his
journey.
Fixing Kelly Road
The county road crew has
completed repairs on the Wap
initia marked road and is now at
work on the road running past
the Jack' Kelly ranch. Several
fills have been made, the road
leveled in spots most needed and
the highway placed in better
condition than it has been in for
sometime.
Has Mounted Eagle
,. Sometime ago Clifford Cun
ningham caught a large golden
eagle in a coyote trap and sold
the bird to Bob Wilson. The
eagle was returned here "Mon
day, meunted in fine style and is
on display at the Wilson store.
The bird was measured just be
fore it was sent to Portland and
showed a spread of five feet two
inches. As it now stands it is
over 18 inches in height and
displays cleverness in its mounting.
! Revival Meetings Prove
Needed In Maupin
The revival meeting; being con
ducted by Rev. Mershon are be-!
ing largely attended and great
interest is being shown by all.
The reverend gentleman is an
evangelist of the new school; he
does not mince matters, neither
does he hesitate or fear to call a
spade a spade. He goes into the
roots of things and tells of them
as he finds them. He abjures
ieonoclysm, confines his talks to
things pertaining to real Christi
anity and sends forth an appeal
that all may understand and fol
low the example of the Savior.
An organ has been secured and
hymns given greater meaning by
a choir. Taken up one side and
down the other we believe these
meetings spell a great deal for
the christian uplift of this com
munity. As a special feature of the
meeting the service tonight will
be devoted to 'the singing old-
fashioned hymns.( Sunday night
"e U 01 wapminua wiu
be
here in a body and hold a meet
ing 6:00 o'clock to which' all are
invited.

Veterans Urged To
Seek Insurance
. Over 140,000 beneficiaries of
deceased World War veterans are
receiving government insurance
payments involving . ; awards
amounting to more than a billion
and a quarter dollars, according
to a statement issued by Kenneth
L. Cooper, Oregon regwakfmaUBftw 0jftr-tI,B
ger of the U. S. Veterans Bureau
at Portland.
"This indicates in some mea
sure the importance to every ex
service man in the state to have
his waV insurance renewed and
converted into a permanent form
of government policy before July
n -t a l i l : : l ...
. oi mis year, ui ume mm,
oy congressional law lor such re
instatement and conversion," de
clared Mr. Cooper. "We are
eager to have every war veteran
in the state of Oregon advised
that unless a converted or perm-
import ' anent orm 01 government insur
ance is talcen prior to July 2, the
'privilege or naving a govern
ment benefit will be denied him
forever. The term insurance
automatically ceases on this
date."
Mr. Cooper stated that despite
the fact that 5,674 ex-service
men and women of Oregon have
applied for government insurance
amounting to more than twenty
million dollars, there are still
thousands of war veterans who
have not reinstated their war
policies and many who have
failed to convert them. Furth

OLIVER PLOWS ARE
WORLD
LEADERS
First Chilled Plow Still Stands lit
Head of Soil Turner Class
Manufacture Begun In Small
Way Now Has Product All,
Over Civilized World
What the locomotive is to the
railway the plow is to the farm
neither could operate without
the other. And speaking of
plows we are reminded that it
was James Oliver, a Scotchman,
who gave to the world the chilled
plow and which made possible
the cultivation of gravelly and
hard ground.
In 1855 Mr. Oliver went to
South Bend, Indiana, and there
secured an interest in a small
iron foundry and then began the
manufacture . of plows.. He
sensed the need of a soil turner
which j would stand up ' under
any and all conditions and after
a long time spent in experimen
tation evolved the plow which is
now n cognized as the leader of
every other such ' farm im
plement. At first Mr. Oliver sold his
product to fanners from ; a
wagon, in which he carried a
few at a time. His business in
creased so that in a short time
of the new plow
increased by .
leaps and bounds until the need
of a larger factory became imperative-
This was constructed
but the greater output failed , to
meet with the demand for the
Oliver Chilled Plow.
Another feature that has tend
ed to the success of this make of
plow is the employment of a
corps of soil analytics, whose
duty it is to determine the
character of the various soils of
the world, that plows adapted to
them may be constructed.
The success attained by the
Oliver has induced many imita
tions, but so far none have ap
proached the perfection of the
one mentioned here. Low
prices is the only inducement
many have to offer in competi
tion with the Oliver, and - when
a farmer has once been induced
to invest his money in one of
them he is generally a convert
to the superiority of the Oliver.
Of course there are many plows
on the market which hold up re
markably well, but none of them
has the endurance or scouring
attributes of the chilled plow.
The R. E Wilson company ha3
the agency for the Oliver plow
in Maupin and will sell them ac
companied by a bon fide offer
that it must satisfy and will put
it in tbe field in competition with
any other or all other plows on
the market. . - , '
The moral of this is that when
a farmer wants the best he will
buy an Oliver Chilled Plow.
