FIRST PRIZE
DONT WASTE WATER
By Maxine Elliott, 7th Grade
A few in Vernonia are letting wat­
er drip and run day und night. Last
inght the big supply tank was empti­
ed and the pump froze up. It's
ed. Wrsp your pipes.
The Oakland ia ahead of all other
curs, first, because of its centralized
Control. The steering gear, gear shift
leaver, accelator, and throttles are
all centralized so they are easily
reached. For this reason it is much
more safe than all other can made.
They have disc wheels, balloon tires,
permanent tap, Fisher Bodies, indi­
rectly lighted instrement panel, auto­
matic spark control. Glass inclosures
for open cars are added at a small
coat.
The body is provided with metal
back, and very wide doon, allowing
easy access. The seats have full backs
und are heavily upholsttred in
worsted. The windows are large with
quick action crank type lifts. Both
compartments are exceptionally roo­
my and luggage space is arrange for
under the rear seat.
The windshield is the Fisher V. V.
one piece type and other equippment
composes speedometer, ammeter, oil
automatic windshield cleaner, rear
view mirror, foot rest, invisible door
checks, tools, tire pump, jack, lock
on right hand door.
Fenders, running gear and upper
body are in black, lining in dark
green.
Their Duao finish introduced by
daklod last year, is the most durable
ever put on an automobile. In every
desirable color treatment, it has al
the beauty of hard-rubbed paint jobs
yet requires almost no care what­
ever. It will not chip, check or fade
and ia not effected by extremes of
temperature. Even dried on mud may
be rubbed from it with a dry cloth
without marring the surface. In fact
its beautiful mellow glass ia oven
improved by repeated rubbings and
should the surface be marred by
scratches or accident, it can be very
quickly renewed without neceeeitat-
ing refinishing the entire body.
The Sedan is the most comfortable
model of the Oakland. Long rides on
rainy days may be taken with out
wearing unsuitable clothes.
Just look thio car over yourself
and you will see in a minute why it
is setting the sales pace for ears of
it's field.
The reason’s clear, it offers more*
in every way for the pirce you pay.
More beauty, more quality, more
comfort and more value.
Note the smart lines of the body
and the interior trim of fine Mohair
cloth upholstery.
Observe the fine character of the
construction. Note how snuggly it ia
built.
This car is also equipped with the
four wheel brakes which adds to
the safety of driving on hilly roads
and secures more safe and accurate
performance for driving in congested
districts. Aside fro mthe convenience
of being able to stop quickly and eas­
ily it also spells tire economy.
There is speed, and real good ser­
vice locked up under the graceful
hood of the 1926 Oakland.
You will be surprised at the pul­
ling power and absence of vibration
in the new motor.
The power generated by the Oak­
land engine is in turn translated into
Mileage through units designed and
constructed as carefully aa the pow­
er plant itself, to achieve smoothness
flexibility, economy, and diapensibil-
ity.
By inspecting the car in detail by
riding in it yourself you will be able
to get a true appreciation of Oak­
land excellence and Oakland value,
which arise from its fine engineering
From every standpoint of perform­
ance, of comfort, of economy and of
serviceability it is a year in abvance
of its field.

People wil lnot obey instructions,

Oregon City, the many private homes
letting their hydrants drip all night
to avoid freezing caused the empty­
ing of 76,000 gallons of stored wat­
er. Just suppose the city had caught
fire. No water.
IT IS NOT NATURAL for superior work to be done with
1 inferior tools. You have a right to expect superior bread
from a superior bakery.
Indeed, there is just one natural reason for the existence
of a superior bakery anywhere—and. that is a dominating
determination to make superior bread.
Mrs. Asa Smith returned Sunday
from a Portland visit.
Visitors are always welcome at die U. S. Bakery, East11 th to 12th and East Everett to flanders streets.
We are glad to have people sec our plant and see how Butter-Nut bread is made—and it is really interest­
ing to go through this bakery equipped to make “Z5.000 quality loaves a day.
