BUYING MACHINIKERY OF ;
YOUR LOCAL DEALER
The usual motives for buying
machines away from home is
saving money. It may appear
that these purchases do result in
saving a few dollars to the buyer
but in the end the farmer will
find that he has defeated the very
purpose desired by not patroniz
ing local merchants. Money cir
culated among the local dealers
means that these merchants can
carry a larger and better stock
from which to select. The farmer
should, also. .consider that. the.
dealer can frequently render val
uable service by fixing trouble
some machines, by getting re
pairs in a hurry when needed and
by giving credit for a tijne when
necessary, It should be evident
that the future should be consid
ered is' much or even more than
the present by the farmer when
he purchases machines. '

Considerable agitation over the
fire chuto in the public 'School
building was apparent at the last
meeting of the Parent-Teachers'
Association . held Wednesday
evening lust in the school house.
Many interested patrons of the
school were present and express
ed their opinions both for and
against the building Of such a
means of escape at the present
time.
The advisability of financial
he'p from the Parent Teachers'
was taken up and fully dis
cussed. Homo spoke in favor of al
lowing tho school hoard to build
the chute unaided. The proposi
tion was then voted on twice,
the first vote being a tie. It was
finally decided that the school
treasury must produce tho en
tire amount.
During the discussion the ques
tion arose as to how much money
was nt present available to
complete the work, A state
ment was made in which it was
stated that sufficient funds were
then on hand to do the work
with. Upon investigation this
sum does' not aggregate more
than a thousand dollars, all
of which, the school board
say, is needed for tho incidental
expenses Incurred from time to
time. .
At the present all warrants is
sued must bo cashed by the bank,
due tq tho lack of funds in the
treasury. This condition will be
relieved late in the spring when
the school taxes are turned over
to-tha trvanirtir.' Ampng jplher
large incidental -expense will be
the wood which the district will
bo compelled to buy before tho
school term is finished.
In he course of tho meeting
Mr. It. E. Weed of the board of:
directors said a fow words to the
gathering relative to the. build
ing of a lire chute at this late
date, bringing in the argument
that the danger of fire would be
over in another month as fur
nace fires would then be unnec
essary. Ho then again brought
out the fact that the low condi
tion of the finances was due,
more or less, to the defeat of an
added tax levy, which cohdition,
he stated, could easily be revers
ed if all tho taxpayers turn out
at the annual school election and
give the necessary progressive
vote.
A substantial fire escape of he
chute type, and one from which
there is no danger of injury to
the pupjls usjng it, will cost
about $80, although one can be
built for much less which will be
less safe and durable. Several
plans and estimates have been
examined by the board of direct
ors Btnce the first agitation of
this question some months ago,
but no plan was found to be
within the financial means, and
some were considered as alto
gether unsafe for the purpose
which thoy must serve,
After considerable debating
the fire chuto question was finally
brought to a closo by Mr. L. L.
Gilbert, who made a motion that
a committee draw up resolution
demanding that the school board
begin jmmediato construction of
the fire escape. The motion waa
duly carried.
After the business of the even
ing had been completed, Mrs,
Walker, of Portland, addressed
tho assembly on tho subject of
literature emphasizing its rela
tion to the mind of tho growing
child. Sho told of the selection
of better books for hoys, and
fight to exterminate the "rapid
fire" class of literature.
In connection with the subject '
of the boy and his bonks, the de
sirability of the Alger, Henty,
and Boy Scout adventure books
was discissei. " The opinions
expressed were varied, somecon
tending 'that thosu wore not in
jurioua to the minds of the grow
ing boy, and others that they
were. It was generally conceded
thtu Uis class of literature was
entirely too imaginative,
Tho musical program for the
evening consisted of a duet, by
Ruth and Willis Cndy, and a solo
by Miss Coldio Vincent. .The
evening waa hroticht to a close
with an excellent lunch served
by the lady niemders of the Ui .
