S-H-O-E-S of every description I specialize on "AMERICAN GENTLEMEN" dress shoes and "JOMO" brand and A. A. work shoes CUTTER E. N. GONTY The up-to-date repair man. Since R. A. Booth, Republican can didate for United States Senator, an wered the question, "Where did you jet It?" Republican papers have raised the question for George E. Chamber lain, the Democratic nominee to an swer, "How did you spend it?" Some industrious digger has compiled the list of public offices Chamberlain has held since coming to Oregon from Mississippi and calculates that Cham berlain has drawn down more than $100,000 in money contributed by tax payers. It Is how Chamberlain spent this money that Republicans are curious. One newspaper editor recounts that Chamberlain has been Attorney-General, District Attorney, Governor and United States Senator, holding some of these offices more than one term, and that Chamberlain since entering public life has scarcely ever been off the payroll, as he entered upon a new Job before the old one was worn out. In his explanation of "where he got It," Booth told the story of his life. Democrats say that Booth is an aris tocrat and does not belong to the plain people. Booth's own narrative re counts how be was one of a family of 12 children; that he lived in a log cabin, worked on a farm and took his pay in chickens; punched cattle, herded sheep and otherwise helped support the family until he was 21 years old and paid for his first "store clothes" by gathering wool from bushes and taking the hides from sheep which died on the range. He struggled hard for an education and acquired It. He was a day laborer, and day laborers are supposed to be plain people. By industry he met with success and associated with oth ers he built up a sawmill Industry which developed the timber resources of Interior Oregon. THE NEST. I fonnd a bird's nest in a tree. Now, what was that to you or me A last year's bird's nest In tree? And yet I marveled when I saw The tiny nest of balr and straw, Designed and built by nature's law A vacant home and lovely still, Though buffeted by winds at will, A finished work of wondrous skill; A thing of beauty to conceive, With only benk to form and weave, A dream of art, so soon to leave. The little nest that pleased and thrilled My soul with reverence had fllled- God taught the robin how to build. ' S. Minerva Boyce In Farm Journal. The Ideal BREAKFAST for this season of the year.

BOOTH l'ightship perils. 8afety of (ha Vessel and Its Craw Is the Last Consideration. Among the unsung heroes of this country are the members of the llgbt bouse service, which Is entirely dis tinct from the life saving service. The entire lighthouse corps designed to warn ships of danger points covers 100,000 miles of coast line and reaches from Alaska to Tanama, the mainte nance of It costing approximately SG, 000,000 a year. It baa about 13,000 "aids to navigation," Including light houses, lightships, bell buoys, tenders, submarine signals, and fog signals. A lightship must be kept always In one particular place. Anchored to the bottom of the sea, she has her steam always up, but she never sails unless relieved by another ship so that she may put into port for repairs. And such a boat Is used because a warning must be given at a place where It is Impossible to build a lighthouse nnd where even the clamor of a gigantic bell buoy Is not sufficient to warn the navigator. No matter how fiercely tlie storm beats or bow desperate may be the boat's plight, she must stay at ber moorings. The only movement she Is allowed to make under the regula tions Is to sink when at last she can withstand the gale no longer. Throughout the service, both In the lighthouses and on the vessels, there Is one object, one dominating creed to keep the light burning and tho whistle blowing. This la the supreme work of the men's existence. And It would bring them deserved recognition If the government ever published a list of those who nave lost their lives In the line of such perilous duty. For about $(1,000,000 a year these men and their craft save from disaster the billions of dollars' worth of shipping and commerce that come to American bores. Popular Magazine.

If you believe in the principles of the Republican Party, if you are convinced that these principles are best for the country, then prove it by voting for your standard bearer, Robert A. Booth, Republican candidate for the United States Senate. You know that under Republican presidents the people of the United States have good times. You know that under Democratic presidents you have Democratic times. Remember the prosperity under McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. Remember the conditions under Cleveland and Wilson. The issue in this campaign is not one of personality. It is not one of non-partisanship. It is a question of whether you perfer prosperity under Republican adminis tration. . Do you have enough work? Are your wages good? Is your business what you want it to be? If you are satisfied with present ennditions, well and good; if you believe that the present situation is better than under McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, you know what to do. The way to bring prosperity is to help elect a Republi can Senate. The Republican Candidate in Oregon In IL A.

In dianapolis News. Booth's statement Included the dec laration that at times tha sawmill he managed employed 1300 men and the payroll exceeded $80,000 a month. The concern brought iuto Oregon more than $10,000,000 of outside money and farmers, merchant!, laborers and en tire communities received the major part of this sum, directly or Indi rectly. The Republicans point out that Booth' rise from a farm band and day laborer Is to his credit and that hundreds of other Oregon boys are developing the same way. They also point out that the Industry which Booth's efforts built up brought Into the state more money than the Gov ernment hae appropriated for river and harbor Improvements In Oregon since the state was admitted to the Union. During the period that Booth was turning timber Into a stream of gold which wai flowing through Interior Oregon, spreading prosperity to work ers and merchants, the Republicans declare that Chamberlain waa draw- j Ing a salary from tai funds as an I i office-holder.
