Silvuton—The Silver ¿Falls Tim
ber company mill will close down De
cember 4 6 for tho holiday season.

how long the mill will be down, offi
cials said that it would likely be
for three weeks as considerable re
pair work is to be done.
Salem—M. M. Magee, road fore
man, saw «nakes a few days ago, but
it wasn’t because of prohibition's re
peal. While digging a ditch he struck
a small crevice about eight inches
below the surface of the ground. It
contained 14 snakes, coiled in a ball.
Eleven were blue racers, three garter
snakes. They varied from one to four
feet in length. The «nakes had ap
parently hibernated for the winter.
Six aims for better food buying
that every housewife might adopt
for the new year are
1. Prepare a shopping list always*
2. Keep storage spaces filled—
eliminating emergency trips to mar
ket. Place orders twice a week.
3- Buy in large quantity aa can
be used economically if a saving in
price.
4* Buy by weight; check your
costal check your delivery at home.
5. The first rule of good market
ing is to see for yourself. One trip
to the market each week will koep
you in touch. 1
6* Study adveitising, learn from
stores, radio, newspapers, booklets
& folders which give material to cre
ate a desire for the products and at
the same time are educational in
bringing out new food facts*
Food nutritionieta give housewives
the best known rules for feeding the
family well and economically, too.
The beet foundation for any diet is
the protective foocs—fruits, vege
tables, milk and eggs. A d*‘ly
quart of milk for every child In the
family and a pint for each adult
is wise food economy,-for milk gives
more for the money than any other
food.
Every day plan to include in the
three meals served besides the milk
