and feel if we had more real solid
taxpayers and less Ortens wo would
have better legislation for tho fellow
who Is at home trying to raise the

fine time for Mr. Taxpayer to follow
the proceedure of the legislature nnd
note the work done by the solid tax
payer or business man, and that of
the man who holds some position by
appointment. Some, it soems would
prevent the passing of such acts as
the domestic court act merely for
selfish motives. However It Is a long

"LIMB WOOD TO BURN"
Please remember that we tell "wood to burn."
Most dealers have "wood to sell," but there is a dif
ference. Our wood is cut at the proper time, and is
carefully cured .thereby retaining every heat unit.
There is no waste in our wood; every stick is a heat
maker, and a cord of our wood will go as far as two
cords of wood that has been improperly cured.
Try our deal pf two cords 4-foot limb wood for
$14.00. It can be sawed into 16-inch lengths for
$1.25 per cord. Buy o.uick, as the deal will be off in
a few days.
Phone us your order for Body, Limb, Slab or Block
Wood, Coal, or Fuel Oil.
