Estacada Pharmacy The Store 1 ,0 0 0 rds. of Fencing for 3 moi.thi Goodby to the fool with the emp ty gun, Forgotten his bid for fame. Though he kills his friend, it only counts one, And that, nowadays, is tame. The fool who playfully rocks the boat Is on the front page no more. He may rank high with the fools afloat But his glory is gone ashore. There’ s the fool with women, the fool with wine, And the fool who games with strangers. And the joy-ride fool (he does well in his line By combining these ancient dangers). But they’ re all still down in the primer class, Mere novices taking a flyer, Compared with the prize-taking criminal ass. The fool in the woods with fire. A few hearts break for the deeds they’ ve done In their pitiful amateur way. But fire slays dozens where they slay one And scourges a state in a day. For the ruined home and the smokeless stack And the worker unemployed Know a hundred years shall never bring back The things that his match de stroyed.

Dimick o f the County Fair Board admits that to date his board has heard nothing further from the PROMISED $400. from the coun ty court. Continuing he says, “ We have been patiently waiting for the court to instruct us what to do. ” Probably past experience has taught Mr. Dimick that “ patient ly waiting” will net just as good results, as raising a fuss, but it is a dirty shame that something cannot be done to wake up the honorable county court to some action. The court is supposed to be a servant o f the people and not a high tribunal which pays no re gard to the tax payers’ wishes nor makes good the promises extend ed. Mr. Dimick admits that the outlook for a Clackamas county exhibit at the State Fair this year, is a poor one, as there is no one to take the initiative in gath ering exhibits and no money is to be had. Last year Clackamas county was awarded the highest honors at the State Fair, but this year we will be lucky to be represent ed, thanks to the utter disregard o f the tax payers’ wishes by the members o f the county court I f the tax payers will stop “ Patiently Waiting” and join to gether, we can either get the promised $400. or get a new county court. On and after August 20th, we will have another 1,000 rods of Wire Field Fencing to distribute among the Farmers , around Estacada, at catalogue prices, and give you until Nov. 1st to pay for same. Come in and let us know the Kind and How much you will need within the next 3 months.
