Vure.iu n -t :th V .- ri.llf from the H-w? .r o.tt-.t. club ;r. TV. Htel k t noon e-i. Saturday. March :th, ar.d d.s, ivt! rr.-.r-y of par ti, ir.r imj-ortar.re. The c.:i;7,r.::v? from the Herrner ..mnerrui! cl.:h came to- present the pf.ss hibty of the early con plot ion of the WMlow creek road, throuch the use f the market road fund of Morrow county for ?h:s rvirvose They pointed out the fa t that if this r.vr.ey were place.! or. tve rid im:ea,atolv it wcuM m the ccur.ty a considerable amount t f mo rev in direvt taxation. Te farm bureau took the stand that the market ioad r-.or.ey belongs to the farmers f the onjrTy and that before it could be placed on this read a vote of the farmers pi vine permission for the sarr.e should he taken After con siderable discussion the-efore the icetinp r assed a resolution authoris ir that the Farm Bureau submit re ferendum on this question to the people, which is heinp done. This meet in of the committee from the Farm Fureau and the Commercial club was most harmonious and well attended and a pood spirit of co-operation was maintained all throusrh the meeting Several prominent tax pay ers of the county also attended and assisted In the discussion. County A cent Hunt reported the ac tion beir.e taken bv the state Farm Fifftu in proseute the effort ??r a re-hearir.c cn telephone rates. Pres ident Mansfield has taken a very active interest in assisting to cet this throucrh and has made it very clearly apparent that the people of the state are beinp assessed by the public service commis tion for an unjust amount of money which Is not poinp direct to the Paci fic States Telephone company but is beine sent through the telephone com pany to another company, and that we are really beinp hoodwinked. It is the desire of the farmers of the county, we feel, to cet a square deal and ev ery effort will be made by Mr. Mans field to see that this is done. The Farm Fureau executive commit tee therefore passed a resolution ad visinp every farmer in the county to pay his telephone bill under protest to the end that when a rehearing is held that he will secure a rebate. They passed a further resolution requesting hat the president of the state Farm Bureau take such steps as were nec essary to represent the farmers of Mor row county in this rehearing. Considerable discussion of road work was carried on ar.d a joint committee c. the Farm Fureau and Commercial club appointed to look into the expen diture of money in the Hardman territory.

The Clean -Up Program Complete always has and always will include a great deal of building. Maybe a new house maybe an addition maybe only a little repairing. But it all takes LUMBER Our estimates on building jobs are always lowest. And quite often the actual cost is below the figure quoted. We have found that such SERVICE to our customers is the best advertisement we can have. We long ago discarded that old policy: "Honesty is the best policy." Now we have it: "Honesty is the ONLY policy" All of our lumber is from logs of A-l selec tionand the price is back to a figure where cost of material can no longer be given as an excuse for not building or repairing. We're for this CLEAN-UP week in Hepp ner and we are going to make special reductions on all materials. Special Prices Now on 2x4's and lxl2's Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co.
