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.—

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

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.

YOUR DAIRY
PROFITS
Can be greatly increased if you can produoc your feed economical­

each year. The proven way to avoid high feed costs is to equip the

Now' is the time for the United

convoy, them with our war fleet as a
protection a’gainst outlaws.
The government should comman­

The greatest waste in Tillamook County is made with feed for onr
dairy cows. We waste at least one half of the possible production
of our soil in the way of feed for our cows.
My relation with the Dairy Industry and the experience in opera­
tion of dairy farms for the past 15 years has given me an excep­
tional opportunity to study the problems of the dairyman. The
result of the 15 years’ experience, and four thereof in Tillamook
County amongst you has caused me to design and present to you
the TILLAMOOK SILO.
The design, mechanical arrangement and construction of the
Tillamook Silo is made to suit local conditions. It is made with
the view of simplicity, burability, efficiency and economy.
The Tillamook Silo is built in Tillamook. Is made of the best
Douglass Fir and workmanship. It is manufactured and presented
to yon by local pTeople, people you know and meet most every day.
The Tillamook Silo is absolutely guaranteed in every respect, so
you are taking no chances.
The Tillamook Silo is your bank. It will return to you in the form
of good silage every pound of good feed put into it, just as you ex­
pect a bank to return every dollar you deposit in it.
The price of the Tillamook Silo is the lowest, and all informa­
tion free. The Tillamook Silo will be sold on terms for six months
at ti per cent interest. If longer time is required special arrange­
ment may be made on approved security.
I am located at Tillamook City, with headquarters at the Tilla­
mook Hotel for the present. 1 also handle a full line of Silage Cut­

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.
