Remember — saving is a habit, and the habit is worth more than the actual amount of money saved. Habits |are most easily formed in youth. GET THE ” BANK HABIT.” It’s a good one. It isn’t thrifty to let your money lie idle or to spend every ceut you get. Save at least a part of your earnings for the proverbial “Rainy Day,” or that you may have the money to take advantage of some good investment or business opening that is sure to come your wav some day. In other words, be “ A Johnny on the Spot,” when such an opportunity comes. ■ Now is the time to open an account.

ORÉ" J SUPERVISION Argyle has pleased the eye as well as the foot of many particular men See how it looks on yours I(a I * * Notice to bootleggers ! It would not surprise us much that the next batch oi bootleggers who are haled before the circuit court will get 30 days in jail and $500 tine on every indictment. Stick this in your hat and see whether this does not come true. * * * It is pretty humiliating for the bootleggers to be cast into jail with a Dago and to occupy the same cell that murderers Hembree and Nord- , Strom and bank check forger Ars- till were incarcerated in. No won der that some of them fell humiliat ed and cress-fallen. * * * The “bootleggers” were determin ed that the people should not rule ' in Tillamook. What a fool thing to do. The people are beginning to rule, however, and a big batch of those who opposed the people's will are where they belong—in jail, and with a sense of satisfaction all over , the county that the people have won a decisive victory over the ‘‘boot leggers’’ and the whiskey element. At any price you choose I guarantee the highest val ue possible for the money, but 1 would like to have you see particularly the suits and overcoats I offer for $7.50, $9.00 and $15.00.

The seeds of lawless ness sown then and since ha.ve simply been bearing fruit, and that is one reason why lawlessness is so prevalent today. We remember distinctly a few years ago what Judge Burnett told a bunch of gam blers he had up before him. He told them that it was the lawless, bad example they were setting. It is the same lawless example, and we are sorrow to say by some of the businessmen, which is the cause of the lawlessness amongst the young people. If a business man can sell beerand whiskey in violation of law, he is showing a bad exam ple to young men, who soon catch on and think they have as much right to violate the law as the busi ness men. Or when men gamble— it is on the increase again- it is only another bad example for the boys and young men to follow. So Tillamook City and County is now reaping the fruit of a long siege of lawlessness and bad example set by those who have run rough shod over law and order in this county. And the saloon advocates want to blame all this upon local option, when, as a matter of fact it was the saloon keepers and gamblers who started and have kept up the reign of lawlessness for the purpose of bringing the local option Jaw into disrepute. And it is the same law less individuals who want to run saloons again in this city. * * * We want to say this about those who furnished Sheriff Crenshaw with evidence to convict the “boot leggers,” they are deserving of a great deal of praise, for the reason that the people of this county, or we should have said, the respectable citizens, want the local option and other laws enforced. What we need right now in Tillamook County is a lot more men with the backbone, the grit and the patriotism to inform on those who have been violating the law. Those who abuse the State's wit nesses anp threaten all kindsof ven- gence upon them can only be class ed with anarchists. It needs only an arousing of the respectable and lawabiding citizens to route the law breakers out of this county, which should be done forthwith, and those who know were the law is being vio lated and can furnish the sheriff with the evidence should do so as patriotic citizens and who want to see the bad reputation that Tilla mook has fallen into blotted out. Let everyone in Tillamook assist the county officials from now on with a view to rounding up others who should also be serving time.
