ae “ si eaaeaemiene cee |Buy the Range that Pays for If ranges aren’t SUPPOSED to be air tight, why are the seams and joints of the common steel range plastered up with stove put- ty? Ask this of the man who tries to sell you a grey iron and steel range? Everyone who has ever used this kind of range KNOWS how these puttied seams open up, how the range requires MORE and MORE fuel every month it is burned, and the worst of it is, the more fuel it uses, the harder it is to get results. What a contrast to the Monarch—built permanently air-tight by hand riveting its heavy steel plates to the Malleable Iron frames. It does its work just as promptly, with just ranges.

Cottonwood Hdw. & Imp. Co. “We Weld Any Metal Chat Melts” contracts merged in the deed to have the area calculated as it had been done. The court found against defendant on both con- tentions and gave judgment for approximately $2,000 in the two cases; and Mr. Mulhall appealed to the supreme court, where the decisions were sustained. M. Reese Hattabaugh and A. S. Hardy appeared as attorneys for plaintiffs Lies and Lorentz. Our readers will perhaps re- member that the deal for this land was made in October, 1910, at the time when all of the Mulhall land was on sale. At that time any of the land from 40 acres up could be bought at $65 per acre. A GOOD CONTRACTOR And builder always appreciates good lumber. That is hereabouts insist on getting their lumber from us. why most contractors —the average layman doesn’t realize what a tremendous difference there really is in the quality of lumber sold by different dealers. - ~—but it’s there just the same. —we talk a lot about the quality of our lumber because it is honestly of excep- tionally high grade, and we want particular buyers to know about it. Our stock is always complete and well assorted; also the prices are just right.

Also a donation of $2 from Red Cross Notes. (Contributed) The following from the Pacific | Farmers Union, published at Pull- man, Wash., explains the situa- tion very neatly: Do you prefer to have a Red Cross in your window, or a wood- en cross over the grave of some American boy in France? That is a question which every American citizen must answer. The more Red Crosses there are in the windows of the homes of the United States, the fewer wood- en crosses there will be to mark the last resting places of our sons along the firing line. A Red Cross in the window of a home means that the family residing there is interested in seeing that our sick and wounded soldiers re- ceive every possible care and at- tention so as to reduce the num- ber of fatalities to the lowest pos- sible minimum. The absence of the Red Cross service flag from the window of any home proves that the family living there does not take a dollar’s worth of inter- est in preserving the health and lives of the boys who are going into the trenches to protect our flag, our institutions and our right to live at peace with the world. As the Red Cross is the emblem of life and hope, the wooden cross | is the emblem of death and sor-| row. The Red Cross button and | the Red Cross flag are the evi-| dence of a willingness to give time and money to provide safety and comfort for our defenders and charity to our wounded enemies: | The failure to wear the Red Cross | button or to display a Red Cross flag is the evidence either of a greater love for money than for humanity, - or of a lack of loyalty to this government and to the oys who are fighting for it. Whoever fails to place a Red Cross in his window is helping to place a wooden cross over a grave in France. A member of the Olympia Red Cross was recently at Camp Lew- is attending the round-up. A young officer—a stranger—observ- ing her knitting, said very earn- estly: “Do you know, nothing in the’ world is such a comfort to us as these knitted things, especially the socks. Why, when a fellow getsa present ofa pair of these real wool, handknit socks there is as much excitement as over cut- ting the wedding eake. Every- body gathers around and admires} and envies. You see, we have to} wear our shoes until they are pret- ty far gone, and for tramping} around in this mud all day in thin shoes there’s nothing like these hand-knit socks.” A more touching endorsement of the noble work ofthe Red Cross could not be made than the beau- tiful words of Hon. Geo. F. Weeks address at Cottonwood last month. At that time his son—Major For- rest Weeks—was fighting with the Canadians in France. Since then word has been received that he was killed in action. Those who heard Mr. Week’s patriotic ad- dress here will recall his beautiful tribute to his son and the cause for which he laid down his life. i The father said: “T have a boy over there. I} have given him willingly to the cause of his country. I. take pride in his stalwart manhood. I want to grasp him about the | shoulders some day and try to} tell him what a noble deed he} has performed. But if he shall) be wounded I want to feel that a} Red Cross nurse dressed his shat- | tered form, or if he shall fall that| the ministering hand of an angel of mercy from the Red Cross ten- hours on earth. That is what the Red Cross means to me, that it means to all those who have boys to give that this great Amer- ican nation shall be free.” Weare thankful to the follow-| Geo.
