DUTY SAYS, “VOTE” A public election that concerns residents of every school dis. trict in the county will be held Monday, June 19, in the several school houses Whether the voter is interested in good education for his or her children or in efficient spending of tax money the ; ¡school election is important. z Schools in this county required 45 percent of each tax dollar raised in 1933 and are therefore of considerable moment to the taxpayer As our public school system is our accepted means of educating the youths and maidens of the country and preparing through them a more satisfactory world to live in ,the make up of each ocal board of directors is important to everyone. Nearly everyone can vote, lack of age and time in the district being the only limi ing factors, and everyone who possibly can should vote This year the election of a new board of direttors for t e Don-high school astrict will, no doubt, cause a good vote in the country districts A patriotic interest in probably the most important governmental function should cause a good vote in the rown districts as well Dr. and Mrs. Poley -went to Port land Tuesday merr^ng accompanied by Maude Homewood and Marjorie Blake.

An opinion by Ralph S Hamilton, well known lawyer of Port, land and forme-ly speaker of the Oregon house, states that coop erative associations will be exempt from the payment of the sales ux exoept when the cooperative buys wheat—for instance— from the grower and holds it in its own name when a sales tax of .8 per cent would be levied. It may be furthur presumed that in case a wheat buyer other «tan a co-operative sold wheat there would be a tax of 2 percent <on the sale ? Any farmer realizes that this will certainly be reflect ed in the price offered for wheat.- If the intention of the legisla tors was to exempt farm products from the payment of a tax the law should have specifically stated that there was to be no tax on farm products until they had been manufactured into something eke. Otherwise the farmer will have to pay the tax through re Mr. and Mrs. Davies left this week for Portland where they will spend a part of the summer recup- erating from the effects of teach- ing school all winder.

When I’ve disposed of Tom it will be time to dream of having a look at Ro- berta.” “You aren’t afraid they’re related. are you?” Don Jaime favored his guest with a withering glance. ’A man named Jim I iohart was hanged at Austin last Week,’1 he retorted. “Was he a relative of yours—this train robber and murderer?” “Yes,” Ken Hobart answered even ly, "he was my half-brother.

"Your . inatrne- . tlons are all in that envelope, too,” he explained, “In case I should be unfor tunate. I have some Mexican first cousins; they're emigres, living in Los Angeles, and I’m leaving them the ranch In trust, with you as trustee and manager.

In a clump of cottonwoods a hundred yards from the sheep camp they parted, Don Jnlme waiting while the ranger rode Into the camp of th* Invaders. A smallish, unprepossessing man. who might have been anywhere from forty five to sixty years of age. stood undex a smoke-discolored fly over a small barbecue pit upon which a sid* of mutton . was roasting.
