ARE YOU REGISTERED?
It has come to our notice that not all the residents
of the Illinois Valley are registered. ’Phis is a mis­
take. It is a DUTY you owe your county, state and
nation to take a part in the political activities of the
country.
Some do not register because they will not align
themselves with either of the dominant parties in the
field, viz: democrat or republican, and to vote in the
primaries, one MUST do so; however, it is not neces­
sary for the regular election in November.
Our nation is built on a political system. We must
have political parties in order to function as a demo­
cratic nation. Your ballot represents the part you
play in keeping the country democratic. You may
not be interested in a single candidate running for
office, but you ARE interested in keeping the coun­
try free from dictators, and your ballot will do jusf
that.
Make it a point to register, folks, it is easy to do
so and it does not cost anything.

THE WATER SITUATION
Two reasons that make it necessary for Cave City
to have a water system—When the rains come like
they are now, the water is very dangerous to drink
without boiling, for we cannot prevent the water
from seeping into the wells unless they are cased off.
Owners have to run their motors constantly to keep
their wells from overflowing in some cases.
The other reason is during the dry weather there
is not enough water to furnish the inhabitant? from
the present wells, except in a few instances. Dee|>er

We are convinced that the property owners can
build a water system and pay for it in 25 years with
the saving they w’ill make on insurance rates. Some
study and thought along this line will convince most
anyone that a water system can be built and operated
successfully in this city.
Some action is absolutely necessary in the near fu­
ture. The property owners are up against this—Dig
deeper wells and case them in, or put in a water
system. It’s their choice.
Certain political influences that will fight to the
bitter end to defeat Willis Mahoney, former mayor
of Klamath Falls, from being nominated as the dem­
ocratic candidate for United States senator for Ore­
gon, showed to what length they will go, when a Linn

In an article in the Oregonian of today, March 17, All will want to attend the

If your house or store should burn, are
you protected with a good fire insurance

Fire insurance is not a luxury, it is a
protection against loss by fire and any­
one who owns a store or home should be
fully protected against loss by fire.
Is your automobile insured—Are you
protected against accidents?
