Big C l u s t e r of Islands
The FIJI Islands group In the South­
ern Pacific contains shout 250 Islands.
They form a British crown colony.
That building operations will show a great increase
during the second half of the year is the consensus of all
branches of the industry.
Contract awards which picked up in March and have
shown further rise since should be reflected in sharp ac­
tivities in late June and July, it is confidently believed.
Conservative observers look for the industry to be on a
sound and active basis in July.
Among the important factors which will contribute
to the revival of construction operations are the huge
building programs of the federal government and public
utilities, the latter being committed to spend a sum esti­
mated at three and a half billion dollars for new construc­
tion during the year. This alone is as large as the whole
nation’s building expenditure a few years ago.
The above in brief, are the conclusions of the heating
research bureau of the C. A. Dunham Company, which!::
adds: “While home building has shown less improvement ¡ -
than hoped for, our branch sales offices in 70 cities re­
porting on orders for differential vacuum heating systems
show that large orders for material are going forward in
connection with various types of building.”
Taken all in all, the general outlook is encouraging, and
the work on new projects definitely assured will absorb
much surplus labor, increase general buying, and thereby *::
contribute to the revival of prosperity.

Here is a good thing to bear in mind:
When an investment proposition offers big returns
with very little chance of loss, it is not necessary to
send salesman around the country letting the public in.
The next time a stranger comes to you with a “sure-
shot” business opportunity, ask yourself if he isn’t
going to a good deal of trouble in order to let you
make some money. Ask yourself why he didn’t let a
few big financiers handle it. If a thing is safe for
you, it would have been safe for them.
Before you Invest, investigate! The Malheur Coun­
ty Bank will be glad to obtain reliable information for
you without charge.

SUMMER SUNSHINE
The Boy Scouts, Camp Fire girls, golf fans, youthful
and grown-up exponents of the out-of-doors are enjoying
benefits of life in the open. They see the things of the
world in a new light end understand nature better. T"oy
meet *riends in the same rause, swap stories and form
congenial companionships. Every student of the big out­
doors gets new object lessons, makes new resolves and
forms new links of character with the day of sunshine.
Sunshine is the test of summer time. It ripens the
grain and the fruit and gives strength to the camper. All
nature has a smiling face when the sun causes the plants
to grow, the flowers to open and the fruits to mature.
Sunshine, induces youth to get out amid the fields and
forests, drink in the pure air and enjoy the healthful­
ness of excerise in the open.
Ther are profits in sunshine that one does not always
reckon on when planning an outing in the open. It creates
beauty ad attractiveness and thereby adds to efficiency
and usefulness. It helps in fitting one for future work and
inculcates a desire for keeping young in order to con­
tinue enjoying the playfields of youth. Yes, there are
countless benefits to be derived from mingling with the
all-outdoors. The sun paints smiles on the cheek of hu­
manity )r. unerasihle linos.

INSURANCE!!
When you build or buy a home one of the
first things you think of is Fire Insurance and
you go to your Real Estate friend or Lawyer
and take out Fire Insurance.
Did you ever stop and think that insurance
against the elements is just as essential as
Fire Insurance.
IT IS A CRIME to put up good material in
a building and not protect it with good paint
because the elements are working all the time
against your buildings unless they are protect­
ed by Good Paint.
See Francis, he can help you figure out
your paint problems.
