Medical Examination For Both Sexos.
Men and women applicants for mar
riage certificates would be required to
pass both a physical and mental test
under the terms of a bill introduced
by Mrs. C. B. Simmons of Multnomah
county. Failure to pass this examina

EMPLOYAIENT MEANS \
PROSPERITY
Lumber production has been main-
tained at record figures for some
months. As a result unemployment
has been avoided in Northwest states.
It is well to remember that pros
perity comes as a result of operating
industries and steady employment of
labor.
The radical politician or labor agi
tator who would cripple industry,
strikes at every family.
DONT’S” IN USING ELECTRIC
EQUIPMENT.
Don’t leave the electric flatiron
connected to the circuit and go to use
the telephone, visit with the neigh
bors, or to call at the grocery. It
costs $100 for the fire department to
make a “run" even for a smoking
ironing board.
Don’t use paper shades or other in
flammable materials for decoration
about electric lamps.
Don’t use lamp cord wiring in your
homes. It is unsightly and unsafe.
Don’t permit “the handy man" nor
the incompetent workman to do your
wiring.
Don’t forget that good, competent
workmanship and first-class mate
rials used in the installation of elec
tric wiring make the best job.
Electricity is your gr-atest and
cheapest servant—give it a chance to
do its best work.

But the codfish does not cackle ' i

While the helpful hen we prize;
Which indicates to thqughtful minds
That it pays to advertise.”
