TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. FEBRUARY Is, 1917. 1 act. The decision peeves the Journal | which claims it has refrained from I "publishing on election day any edi 1 torial or news matter bearing even indirectly upon the issues of elections and has refused to publish the adver tisements for candidates for public of fice.” O dear, listen at this wail. "The policy has been followed at some cost to The Journal, because it has been obliged to sacrifice the revenue that would accrue from the extra day’s publication of these political adver tisements.” What a fearful loss.— News Reporter. NAILS STEEL STEAL Stay-Round Silo Company A certain class of people assert that a farmer is the most independent man on earth and that he has nothing to do but to enjay life. That when wint er comes and the cold snaps are on the wing he toasts his feet in the oven and reads the local r newspaper ■ and the only thing that disturbes him is a call three times a day to banquet on mince pics and other luxuries. It is a mistake. The industrious farmer be gins work long before the sun thinks of getting up. With his soul shrouded in gloom he proceeds to build the fire and soften his boots with a sledge hammer. He then takes a lantern and shovels his way to the barn and feeds the hogs. It is the time to feed the newly arrived calf, which seems to delight in butting a pail of milk over the tiller of the soil until he only needs to be stamped to pass for a package of olemargarine. He crawls through a barb wire fence and digs the hay out of the snow, , feeds the cows, cleans the stable, gathers up the frozen chickens, chases a stray pig worth 25 cents four miles, and does not catch it. doctors a sick horse, freezes his fingers, gets kicked by a one-eyed mule, and when the gloaming comes and quietness broods over all the earth, he has a single half h our to mediate and wonder how he will pay his taxes.—Umpqua Val ley News.___________ 52 FIRST ST., PORTLAND, ORE. W. II. MONROE, Manager. The new silo shown for the first time at the Oregon State last year has now been tested and has made good, and is being en dorsed by the most enlightened men on the subject in the country, in cluding Dairymen, Stockmen, Professors and Mechanics. Prof. Barr, of the O. A. C., says he has recently examined the silage in two of them, and found it of excellent quality, and it kept well in all corners. D. O. Lively, who was Supt. of the Livestock department, Panama Pacific Exposition, bought one for the Lively Stock farm at Palo Alto, California, after using several different kinds put up on the grounds there for advertising purposes. It is the PERFECT SILO we are talking about, and what en courages us most is that competitors are telling farmers it is no good, that it bursts, etc. But here is what we can prove it does. IT STAYS STRAIGHT AS A LINE. Because it shrinks up and down and natures haws takes absolute care of it. It is built without scaffold, and is built as quickly as a scaffold is built for other kinds. It is built entirely of Oregon Fir, except some bolts in the door frame, and some nails in the roof, and is better than is possible to make of the combination of wood and steel. / There is no STEEL in its construction, and no STEAL in when we sell it, and it is guaranteed true to name.

High prices on hay and grain cost dairymen thousands of dollars each year. The proven way to avoid high feed costs is to equip the farm with a cheap feed producer in the form of a good silo.

No other course remained for a self- respecting nation, for the announce ment by Germany of a reckless pur pose to sink without warning passen ger ships carrying no contraband of war makes her an outlaw nation. Now' is the time for the United States to make a stand for the free dom of the seas. We should let our ships sail as usual, and, if necessary, convoy, them with our war fleet as a protection a’gainst outlaws. The government should comman deer the German vessels interned in our harbors, and use them, if needed by our commerce, to replace ships de stroyed by German submarines. We are not yet at w’ar with this out law government, but wc are near the verge of it. If war must follow, let us be true to our high traditions, not flinching of an ordeal that was not of our making. Without bluster, without fear, and in full understanding of what is in volved and what may follow, congress must support the president and the nation must support its government. —Spokesman Review.

A Million Dollar Waste Chagrined and disappointed in its effort to dictate to the Legislature and boss the state of Oregon, the Borland Journal, in "its rapid descent from partial to complete lunacy," has an article in a recent issue concerning the publication of the delinquent tax list in Washington county. In the conglomeration of figures, falsehoods and half truths, the Journal brings out three points. First, that there is I "collusion” between the News-Times and the Hillsboro Argus .because the I two papers charged exactly the same amount for the publication. Second, That the charges made for publica tion were not collected from the tax payers who were delinquent, but part of it came from the general tax pay- I er. Third, That the rate we charged the county was higher than we charged private concerns, according to our rate card on file with agencies. To the first wc point out that if the Journal knows any thing at all I about which it is talking so much, i it know» that the County court fixes th< compensation, and that naturally the Court fixed the same rate for both papers. And this rate was con siderable less than we charge private concern.
