At first glance it may stvn. as though this question wua trivial, but on mure eureful Cunsideruliun one finds that it is anjtbtnK but trivial as far as the city of Albany is concertJ. In the past we have mm tamed a Com mercial club and have offered lcnu.iea for the purpose of inducing newcom ers to lot ale in Albany. If the voU-rs enact the above measure, they will do something which ia certain to keep numlter uf desirable people from lo ut in t: in our midst. A dug ia universally considered next to man the most intelligent being there is. I'os have had no small part in procuring for us the many advant ages and good things that we enjoy in everyday life. Many a story has been written of the assistance dogs have rendered to man in time uf danger and 1 1 stress, which have stirred the hearts of many, both young und old. The dg is a friend of man, and hi1 is a friend of children, and many a loy and girl has received valuable training ffjin the asKociation with a dog. Many a man values his dog next to his fan.ilv as the most useful thing that he pos sesses. You can readily understand what it would mean to a prospective resident of Albany who might have a valuable dou, if he were informed on arriving in the city that no dogs of any kind can be owned hy the people living i nAlbany. Such a one would naturally lc looking for another loca tion. If this measure should become a law, it would deprive many a boy and girl of the privilege of having a pot dog as their companion, and of the experience and training that result from I -ring kind to a domestic animal. It would mean that whenever an out sider or farmer passed through the city of Albany or stopped in thr city. ant) had a dog; with hib, that his dog would have to be captured, nnd the owner prosecuted for unlawfully nav ing a dog in the city of Albany, w.itch would result in endless litigation and would keep people from coming to Albany to trade or transact business. It would give Albany n Muck eye among the cities of the Willamette Valley. It would indeed be a pity to have this measure become a law. We have all rend of housekeepers who were so exact in their require ments nml so fussy about having ev erything just so, that it wns impos sible for the rest of the members of the family to live in comfort in the home or to enjoy the privileges of the family fireside. The result is usitaliv the breaking up of the home and the me ml -era of the family spending then time elsewhere except in the home. It appears to me that the case of Al bany is very similnr. I do not believe in dogs running nt large or being al lowed to ronm about without teing under the control of the owner, and this is already prohibited under our present dog ordinance. At the Mime time, we may go so far as to serious ly injure ourselves and our fair city. This is n question of considerable importance, mid should not he passed on lightly by the voters at tho comim election. A.

IJ.ME NOW AVAILAMJ3 TO ORECON FARMERS Slruxtrje for Cheap Soil Cor rective Ended Orders Should P.e Made f Agricultural Council News) Th following U-tter waa received fnrn A. 11. Cordley, Chairman of the State Lime Ifonrd. It explains thi' necessity of Kitting your lirne orders in niiht away or stand a chance of not ifettinifT any: Corvalh, Oregon, OetoSer 1H, 1IMH Mr. S. V. Smith, County Agricultural Aent, Albany, Oregon. Ieir Mr. .Smith: The State Lime Plant at Hold Hill is now producing one, and in a few days will increase to at least two carloads of agricultural I lime daily. The price is $1.75 per ton, f. o. b. quarry near Gold Hill. The farmers of Western Oregon fought lonjf and hard for a state- owned plant which would furnish lime ut cost. There have been many de lays in fretting the plant ready for op eration owing to lack of funds, scar city of skilled bvbor, and the fact that it was almost impossible to get ma-1 chinery and supplies at all. However. Lhe plant is now ready for operation 1 und the success of the enterprise is up to the farmers themselves. In other words, in order to operate the plant must have orders. If these are not received at the rate of at least two loads per day, it will be necessary to stop operations at once as the Board nut only has no funds for operating expenses, but has already become in dividually responsible for some of tho funds necessary to complete the plant. The purpose of this letter is to ad- you, the farmers of your county and vise you of the facts and . throug.i t urge that all who expect to order ime, do so at once. The next ten day or two weeks will determine whether or not we are to receive sufficient or ders to keep the plant in operation. Yours truly, A. B.

SAVE MONEY FOR FARMERS Direct Testimony Showing That tha Woodpecker Should Be Protected by All Agriculturists. We are a&njred on high authorttjr that If birds were as numerous today as they were 00 years aico It wiauld' mean a saving of many million dolauns to American farmers. The slaughter of migratory bird-s Is surely followed by the Increase of destructive lusetis. Among the farmer's bird frfeuds are the woodpeckers, eaieclally the red headed members of the species. In proof there Is cited the following Instance: A pair of them nested In a dead Cottonwood tree near an orchard. One day the ob'rver watched them through a pulr of gins.-. The young birds were about half grown. The parents made IK) trips In one hour, each time with a worm. It Is safe to any that they saved UO apples lu that bour a Ikix worili, say $1. If the birds worked ten hours a day, they were worth $10 to the owner of that orchard, or. In the three weeks the birds were In the nost $110. It Is plain, then, that no farmer can afford to kid a woodpecker. All Wrong, Napoleon.' "The dull, drub yeurs of middle age." Is the way a Y. M. C.

A ;crntinent banker in Mr. Ma son's borne iown, who had known him for three dtavtdus, gives him this ran) testimonial: "'Hia business record Is one white srofit." 2. Having :Us.'n successful in hi own business, ku4 aa a partner In many large ent-er-arrises, he could han dle the financial arfaira of the state with the sure touch of "one who knows." 3. His statewide intetvst in the de velopment of Oregon instmis a gener ous policy in all reclamation projects, good roaiEs movements and education al and spiritual uplift. 4. In these crucial days, when wise judement in distributing state ' funds is reiruireat, it will be the part of wisdom to place at the helm a man who believes fully in the command ment, "them s.'ialt aiit steal." A good churchman will niaka a good custod ian of trust funds. 5. It wQI make the world safer for democracy and cher the President of the United States to elect David P.
